First time at Jackson’s and certainly will not be our last! The food was so good, 100% reccomend the fried chicken. The service was awesome and the ambiance was so cozy! Cannot wait to come back for another meal!
This is a very popular place! The food is awesome and area looks beautiful. I love the big oak at the back of lot!
I had the fish dinner it was extremely outstanding, delicious to my taste. Great fantastic job.
Clean, spotless, outstanding sweet tea just relaxing in my mouth ..
keep up the great work I will return very soon.

They have an early bird special between lunch and dinner. The fried chicken and pulled pork were excellent! First time having NC style pulled pork and was thoroughly impressed by the vinegar style pulled pork! The mac and cheese was amazing as well. The hush puppies were delightful! The fried corn bread, fried okra and corn nuggets were good, but I got fried food fatigue after a few bites. Not from NC so maybe that is why. The sweet tea was definitely sweet, but after a bite of the peach cobbler, the tea didn't taste sweet anymore 😂! Great prices! I would definitely go again, but order unfried sides because the hush puppies and fried corn bread come with each meal. The fried okra didn't come out well, so the server got us some extra corn nuggets and fried us up a fresh batch! Served hot to the table!
Their slogan says something to the effect of “we’re not fancy, but we sure are good.” This couldn’t be more true! The inside is nothing special but the food and value were both exceptional. We got there right when it opened and the place was packed (always a good sign!) Would highly recommend.
Some of the best barbecue in town great service fantastic steak fries but above anything their fried chicken is one of the best I've ever had
Jackson's is a country delight. Paintings of pigs and historic Battleship photos adorn the walls. A mix of booths and tables all basic mix up the room. It feels very warm and inviting. It is also a family oriented place. People of all ages talking and enjoying their meals. I decided to have a two item combo of Fried Chicken, Pulled Pork with Collards and Mashed Potatoes with gravy. Hushpuppies and cornbread also came to the table. The chicken was slightly on the greasy side but the inside was so juicy. Barbecue was full of smoked flavor and was anything but dry. Everything else was as it should be. If you go at lunch time, ask for Barbara. She is very kind and accommodating.
Food was good but we didn't like having to order at desk then pay. The only thing the girl did was bring our food to the table. When we wanted more tea or water we had to get up and get it. Need to go back to having waitress again. Not a family atmosphere like it used to be.
Excellent BBQ! We visit here every year when we're in town. Make sure to get a fresh batch of pork cracklings (not in the menu). We happened to stop in on a night where they had brisket and that might just be our new favorite. The fried chicken is pretty impressive as well!
It started well when my daughter said they have the good ice when they delivered our drinks. Eastern Carolina Barbecue fans will be impressed with their sauce. They have a tomato based sauce which is good too, but it pales in comparison. My vote is for the vinegar sauce. Corn nuggets are slightly sweet, crunchy outside and gooey inside. Collards are slightly spicy. And who doesn't love canned peaches. Worth the trip.
