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.

I’m a foodie I love to try new food and new places. The service was great. The vibe was good, very friendly. I was really looking forward to trying soul food for the first time and was recommended to this place by a friend.
I ordered the fried wings and side of 2 Mac and cheese. My husband ordered the smoked beef brisket and a side of chili bean and Mac and cheese. The food was okay. I really expected more especially since it’s my first time trying soul food. The fried wings were okay, it wasn’t the best thing I’ve had. It was a bit salty though. The Mac and cheese were dry, and not really enjoyable. I’d give my meal a 5/10.

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.

Nice environment friendly staff. I didn’t too much care for the macaroni and cheese, But all the other things I’ve tried was delicious. The drinks at the bar was on point. I definitely would come back.

Loved it, superb spot. Hard to find as it is tucked away. The best way is going northbound on N First street and turning into the parking lot, which was pretty big. Food was amazing, the dinning room was huge and had a good lively vibe. The chicken has a heavy smoke flavor and was super tasty and seasoned to perfection. The pulled pork was tender but could use a bit more flavor.

The best fried chicken and fried fish I’ve found in the South Bay. They are so consistent (have ordered takeout many times, same quality every time) and very speedy in preparing food. An amazing locally owned establishment to support.

First time trying this place and I gotta tell you I fell in love with the food everything is made from scratch so good love the fact that they have different desserts to choose from ☺️ I tried the banana pudding and the lime pie so delicious. I love the cornbread and before I forget, the grape Kool-Aid was so good everything was amazing a new restaurant for me to make it my top 10 on my list the staff was very helpful and respectful and welcoming, and a shout to the owner, very friendly and welcoming thank you !!!

Best Southern-style comfort food in San Jose. Everything we tried was outstanding, Uncle Greg’s ribs are hands down the best I’ve had in a very long time. Tender, flavorful, smoky, took me straight to my childhood backyard barbecue with family.
The collard greens were seasoned just right, the candied yams hit that sweet spot, and the hot link sausages were full of flavor with just the right kick. The brisket was good too, but if I had to choose between the brisket and the ribs, I’d go ribs all day long.
This is good, soulful cooking that feels like love on a plate. Jackie’s Place makes you feel like you’re eating at the family cookout

Amazing food with incredible service. Everything is super fresh and very tasty. They also have free parking, and the prices are super reasonable. Extremely generous portions Texas style. The staff are very friendly and kind, and I noticed that they always great all their guests with a smile. Really nice atmosphere in a wonderful Southern BBQ and fried chicken spot near downtown San Jose. Highly recommend checking it out.
