"Jackson Soul Food is an Overtown institution and one of the best (and only remaining) places in Miami serving classic soul food for breakfast, lunch, or brunch. They’ve got a big selection of dishes like smothered pork chops, fried catfish, black-eyed peas, as well as the requisite grits, buttery biscuits, and sweet cornbread. Order it all—just make sure to get their super crispy fried catfish. It’s cooked perfectly and has a really crunchy exterior, which adds some much-needed texture to a table full of soft breakfast dishes. While you’re waiting for the food, take a lap around the diner. The walls here are a mini Overtown history lesson, lined with old photos, memorabilia, and news clips that showcase the impressive history of this place. " - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
