Jackson Soul Food - Miami

I believe in having a friendly and enjoyable atmosphere at work, but there should be a balance in maintaining professionalism and appropriateness. While having brunch with my two young children, we were uncomfortable witnessing waiters being excessively loud, using inappropriate language, and behaving inappropriately. My waitress was good, the food was decent, but it is important to consider the experience of your customers.

It's been a favorite for years for me and still is!

I searched for a soul food breakfast near me while staying in Downtown Miami and found Jackson's Soulfood in Historic Overtown. Despite high expectations, the experience fell short. The waitress was friendly, but the service on a Wednesday at 11:30 a.m. was very slow. They were out of champagne for mimosas, steaks for steak and eggs, and hot cocoa for the kids. Our order included french toast, waffles, bacon, catfish and grits, ham, biscuits, and hash browns. While the food was hot, it didn't all come out at once. Overall, it was just okay and I would give it a 6 out of 10, but it wasn't enough to make me want to return.

The chef is knowledgeable and skilled, the food is abundant and delicious, and you will leave feeling satisfied. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be coming back every time I'm in Miami.

Used to be great. Now it's just an average place to eat. Ask how things are prepared and specify you want it cooked on the grill
