Was looking for someplace new to try. I saw fried okra and got excited, my husband loves it and I don't so I don't make it. He also got catfish (another favorite of his) along with the fried okra. I had the chicken tenders. Everything was so good!! It's obvious they take good care of the fryers here. You don't taste anything in your food except what you're supposed to. The guy at the table next to us asked about desserts and they mentioned a neapolitan cake. Said it was like cake and ice cream. He got it and I asked how it was, he said it was very good - the cake tastes like neapolitan ice cream and the butter cream frosting was not overly sweet. I had to get a piece and it was phenomenal!! I highly recommend this place! I carry a bottle of kool-aid with me because no one ever has it. But Jackie's Dream has several pitchers - I couldn't believe it!

Customer service was good given the volume of customers. The Nash hot chicken is great. I got the catfish and it was cooked amazin. I would say the yams need work or less nutmeg, peach cobbler was in same boat but maybe not peach season needed more crust to peach ratio. Gotta love the atmosphere. Mac n cheese was good. Will return when back in area. Keep cooking it up.

This review is from the point of view of a traveler from a distant land who stopped in while passing through: I would give Jackie's Dream five stars for the authentic local atmosphere alone. The food hit the spot as well. Very tasty fried chicken, ribs, baked beans, collard greens and potato salad. The fried tilapia was okay but not at the same level as the rest, the same holds for the slaw, and the mashed potatoes. Beware the lemonade, it's syrupy sweet (which is probably the local style).

(and it was awesome!) such sweet staff, can't wait for a return visit! entree portions are plentiful, I took home half of mt meatloaf! good prices. plenty of parking. conveniently located. definitely recommend!👍

Jackie has done a great job at spacing her tables out. I think there's only 8 tables in the whole place! They deep clean between customers. And everyone is masked

Is outdoor dining available? Thank you..
