★★★★★ 5.0 Francisco Ruiz Jr · Feb 2026

Great place to have BBQ. Mac and cheese is a must! Ribs were great packed with alot of flavor didn't need BBQ sauce on it. Brisket was amazing corn bread was amazing. Chili beans was also a must. Food plates range from 20 to 35 but worth the price.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Shubham Kamdi · Dec 2025

Jackie’s Place is the go-to spot for authentic soul food and Texas-style BBQ in the South Bay. It’s hearty, high-quality, and deeply flavorful. • The Best Bites: The 16-hour smoked brisket and Uncle Greg’s Ribs are legendary. For soul food, the Smothered Chicken and Mac & Cheese are essential orders. • Don't Miss: The Honey Butter Cornbread—it’s arguably the best in the city. • The Vibe: Casual, spacious, and family-friendly with a modern "cookout" feel. • The Trade-off: It’s popular, so expect a wait on weekends. Portions are huge, so come hungry or plan for leftovers.

This place had a full parking lot so we knew it was going to be good! We ordered our food and got it right away so it was HOT and delicious! The restaurant was clean with plenty of seating. We don’t really like to scan the QR code to order but it wasn’t a problem. We will definitely be back when in the area.

★★★★★ 5.0 Katie M · Feb 2026

I’m mad at myself for not trying this spot sooner. Everything we tried was amazing, especially the fried fish and candied yams. Servers were SO generous and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. I will 100% be coming back and bringing more people with me so they can also fall in love with Jackie’s.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Jeff Zander · Nov 2025

The ribs were good, the brisket however was pretty dry. service was not the greatest, didn’t like I had to order on an app instead of a waitress. Wanted a refill on my tea and was told I had to order on the app at a cost. Atmosphere was decent and seating was good.
