I found Jacque‘s on Google maps as it was close to my hotel and I was looking for some comfort food. The person who took my order she was extremely helpful because I had a lot of questions. But there is a kiosk that you can use for speedy ordering. I ordered a chicken breast that is normally on the chicken sandwich. It was huge. The breading was crunchy and tasty and the chicken was well seasoned. The collard greens were also excellent at home. I would’ve seasoned them with pork, but they used a smoked turkey and it has a wonderful flavor and again very well seasoned. The mac & cheese was probably the best mac & cheese that I have had at a restaurant, especially kind of a fast service restaurant lots of cheese. The pasta was not overcooked. Just a really nice bite. Cornbread was good unrem

Second time visiting this little delicious gem. The last time was in May, and I had chicken and waffles; that dish was fire. Today, the family and I went back, and it did not disappoint. I ordered fried chicken, mac and cheese, and collard greens. My husband and daughter had brisket with coleslaw and fries, and lastly, my son had the pork ribs with beans. Everyone was happy (beyond). For a treat, we had banana pudding - Yass, that was crazy good. We loved nearly everything. My only feedback is that the collard greens were a bit vinegary for us. The chicken was seasoned throughout. The brisket was tender, and the ribs fell off the bone. Excellent service, but it can get busy on a Saturday evening. Saw a mixture of families, young people, single diners, and older people. Great vibe. S

The food was fresh perfectly seasoned & cooked! Only issue was no prices on menu and the guy working the register got a lil snippy when I mentioned it saying “There’s no prices for a reason”. He turned his attitude around once my fiancé entered and was pleasant the rest of the time.

I am writing to share my disappointment following a recent meal at your establishment. Having visited your original location in the past, the quality of the food I received during this visit—totaling $68—did not meet the high standards I have come to expect from your brand. Please find the specific details of my experience below: Food Quality Assessment Main Entrees: * Brisket: The texture was uncharacteristically fine in the center, lacking the natural grain and flavor of fresh-smoked meat. The charred edges appeared to be an attempt to mask a pre-processed product rather than genuine bark. Fish: The coating lacked both seasoning and the expected crispness. Chicken: This was the highlight of the meal; it was perfectly crisp with a soft, pleasant flavor. Sides: Chili: The flavor profile wa

This is a casual soul food restaurant with delicious food. The greens were in point the Mac and cheese too and the fish was perfect! My husband tried the brisket as well and he said it melted in his mouth. It's clean and the staff is friendly.
