I cannot say enough good about this place to do it justice. I haven’t had such delicious food and excellent service, at such a good price in a long time. Its a small place, but the food and service is impeccable. Gives the feeling of a local hangout, but all the towns’ people were super friendly. When we arrived the place was absolutely PACKED for lunch, but they managed to squeeze us in anyway and then turned around and apologized for being so busy! Despite the volume of customers, the food arrived in minutes. Everything from Shrimp to hamburgers available on the menu. I had the blackened grouper sandwich. If you are near this beautiful city, it is definitely worth the five miles off the interstate to eat at this diner.
We stopped over for lunch on the way to Tallahassee and had fried shrimps. It was one of the best food experience we had in States during our short trip trough FL and GA. Food was lovely and staff very helpfull, very charming place, I would recommend to all
The food was very good, the sevice was super friendly! I will be hitting this place every time I go through this town. I want to try a few things.
Best place I've eaten in a while. I usually only want a country fried steak once or twice a year but I'd make the trip weekly for this place. Just amazing all around!
Jackie’s food is always consistent, delicious and affordable. This place is a local gem and has become a staple in my family’s morning routine. Very child friendly and accepting of all people, no matter what. Everyone that comes in is treated like family and it shows.
Over the top religious decorations…not an all inclusive atmosphere but the food is amazing and customer service is above average. French Toast is a must and Veggie Omelette was very tasty.
What a happy place! Efficient, nimble, no nonsense service with fresh ingredients. After a warm generous greeting, you can expect, Johnny-on-the-spot, hot coffee refills with a smile. The crepes are made over a several hour process by Jackie herself using freshly churned butter milk. Worth the stop and I would gladly add "worth the wait", but not necessary since the staff is so speedy. 5 stars!
Stopped in for lunch just after 1 with my husband. I Had the patty melt on rye (pictured) with fries as a side which were perfectly crispy. He had the philly cheese steak sandwich on a hoagie roll..also ordered an appetizer - fried pickles that were perfectly crispy and hot. Didn't take long to get our food and everything was good. Small town diner vibe with friendly service and limited parking, was able to park around the corner and walk a short distance. We will be back again for lunch and breakfast to try other dishes on the menu.
Very nice place, my boyfriend and I love eating here. Ms.Jackie is a great person and every worker there has very good energy. I recommend to anyone, whether you're a local or visiting. It's a great place to eat before checking out the towns thrift shops
This was our first trip to Monticello and we can honestly say that Jackie’s was a highlight of our trip. From the second we walked in the door, we felt like we were home. From Jackie’s infectious smile and energy, her sweet staff, and the “regulars” who made us feel like family, to the super fun karaoke Friday night to the yummy breakfast Sunday morning everything was PERFECT.
The fish sandwich was one hands down of the best we’ve ever had. And then caprese salad was fresh and the balsamic glaze was delicious.
For brunch, our omelets were stuffed with delicious veggies. And you can’t go wrong with the funnel cakes and fresh from the oven chocolate croissants.
We cannot wait to visit again!
The food and service were great. Love the Southern charm and the food was great for the whole family. Not a thing we didn't like. Thank you for a great part of our vacation!
We are not from the area and we met some friends there as a midway point to have lunch and it did not disappoint. We had a wonderful experience. Everything we ordered was delicious! Pancakes, French toast, turkey wrap with hot and fresh sweet potato fries, country fried steak, and BLT. All DELICIOUS!!! The place was packed and had a steady stream of customers. Worth the stop!!
