Jackie's Ham & Eggs

If you like breakfast, you have to try this place (but come hungry). The waitress was great, quick service and good at checking in on you. The food is good and the portions are huge. They have the biggest biscuit we have ever seen. My wife ordered the Veg Out omelette with a biscuit and I had the traveler lite. My wife loved the omelette and said the veggies were really fresh. The biscuit was huge and also really good. I had 2 eggs, bacon and a pancake. The eggs were cooked the way I ordered, and the pancake was big (as in the size of a large plate) and tasted amazing. We enjoyed breakfast and will definitely be coming back again.

First time here and im already ready for my next visit. Such a wonderful atmosphere and really good service. The food was wonderful and generous! Heather and the team were so friendly. Places like these are hard to come by and i’m thankful to have found this one.

I was too hungry to take a pic of the food lol sorry. Got the cheeseburger witha side chili to dip my burger in it. YUMMY!!💜 best waitress in the world💜 very accommodating-- some just know what u need before you even say it💜 she made me a STRAWBERRY SPRITE... aye when you come ASK FOR HEATHER!!! Thanks for making us comfortable on our 1st time there! Definitely coming back💜

This is the greasy spoon you've been craving. All the breakfast classics served by an extremely charming staff in a homey setting. What's not to like? I ordered the light traveler. Don't let "light" fool you. It comes with a GIGANTIC delicious pancake, 2 eggs of your choice, and 1 meat. I also ordered home fries on the side. Everything tasted wonderful, but the pancake blew me away. My hubby ordered the chicken fried steak with a biscuit on the side. The steak was perfectly thin and the gravy was extremely tasty. Shout out to the giant biscuit, too!

OMG! Holy pancake, Batman. They are the size of (maybe bigger than) my teenager’s head-and he’s got a big head. Pro tip: get blueberries inside, you won’t regret it! And the biscuits are MASSIVE. Thank you, Heather for providing us a great experience for our first time there.

I travel A LOT for work. I love Jackie’s Ham and Eggs. The food is delicious and plenty of it. What I love most of all is the service and atmosphere. Heather is amazing, personal and good at her job. It was like being in her kitchen. I will definitely go back

We had Migas- great, chorizo- great, omelette - great, french toast- great. Servings were huge. Ordered pancakes to and they put them in a Pizza box because they are so big. The biscuit was so big, four of us split it and none of us could finish our portion.

We had occasion to stop here during a trip to the Dallas area, and really enjoyed our visit. We arrived at almost noon on a Monday and enjoyed a five-star experience from the get-go. They weren't busy...only two other tables were occupied, and a third customer arrived for take-out during our stay. The people at one of the tables were boxing their left-overs. That's when I first saw one of their enormous biscuits, and knew I had order one. (My wife and I split it, and took another home for one of our sons who cooks and loves bread.) In many ways the biscuit and gravy was the entree'...my western omelet became a side. We appreciated the individualized service but understand staffers might not be able to pay as much attention during busier periods. Somehow, I think they'd still be personable. Our server (Heather?) was a hoot, one of those people perfectly suited to her job. The manager shared much about the restaurant's history in addition to making sure our wants were fulfilled. I've given a five-star rating because in it's context we had a five-star experience. I suppose the only drawback is that we received too much food for a very acceptable price. However, I enjoyed the leftovers later in the week as much as in the restaurant. We've already spoken to other family members who tend to lodge in the area, and will certainly return when our schedule allows.

I've lived in lewisville for about 11 years. I've seen this place many times and never stopped or it was closed by the time I got up. On 11/11/25 was the first time I had decided to stop before going to the gym. I walked in and there was only 1 family eating and it appeared to be 3 staff members the waitress, a waiter and possibly the cook in the back. Waitress told take a seat where ever and I went and sat at a table. She walked over handed me a menu a I looked it over at first glance it was very simple. I saw there was a short haul and a long haul I asked her what they were and she immediately said, oh you wont finish the long haul!. Lmfao I would later come to find out why!! I told her yea I would take the short haul because I was going to the gym after. The food came pretty quick cause no one was in the restaurant. I saw her walking over to me with 2 plates and one had what I can only explain was a tire made of bread! Got my short haul which consisted of 2 eggs however you want I got them sunny side up and your choice of meat I decided on ham. My only complaint was that it appeared the eggs may have been a little over cooked on the bottom cause they were hard to cut but no biggie and my other complaint was the ham was extremely small I was thinking I would get a little more than 2 little squares. Any ways to move on to the tire of pancake it had a huge glob of butter on it! It was winning already! I smeared the butter on it and asked for sugar free syrup at that point why even ask for sugar free with all the carbs I was gonna stuff in my face!!!!. It was good and fluffy. Waitress was a sweet heart came by and kept asking me if I need anything and always referred to me as sweety, hun, or sweetheart. Which I have no problem with. Location 6 outa 10 very clean and homie Waitress 6 iuta 10 great attitude for it being dead. Short haul 4 outa 10 it was ok Pancake 10 out 10 didn't even finish it what would have made it better is some Pecans or blueberries in it. The shear size I'd Def come back!!!!!!

Old fashion dinner. Big portions. Real food made well. Casual and entertaining lack of polish. Real food. No corporate gimmicks!

Jackie's hams n' eggs was good. My hashbrowns were good, as was the scramble eggs but the sausage was way over cooked. The pancake was massive, really big and was very good. Service was great and fast. The server was very polite and always checked up on us. The atmosphere was good. It was quiet and the restaurant was very clean.

Heather our server was a hoot!!! The portions are huge, the burgers delicious, the pancakes were huge and fluffy. They brewed me a fresh pot of decaf when I asked which in other DFW eateries is often met with a stink eye. I was there with 7 friends, they split checks easily and the staff overall was so friendly we were giving them hugs on our way out. I will be back with my wife soon.

So my wife saw a preview of this restaurant on Texas Today last week. Even though it is a 20 mile drive from the house, we made the trek. The service was great thanks to Heather our server. That was the end of it. They didn't have coffee (no fault of the restaurant), no water. There was a musky odor when we walked in, but we got seated immediately. My wife ordered the pancake and it was the size of the plate and she enjoyed it. Me on the other hand ordered the corned beef hash, 2 eggs over-easy, and hash browns. The hash browns were burnt, the corned beef hash was cool , and the eggs were not even over-easy as they gushed water when I cut into then, and to top it off the toast was cold to where the butter couldn't melt. So disappointed. Won't make the trek again.

Our first time dining at Jackie's. I heard about this restaurant from a tiktok video. Restaurant had the feel of an establishment that had been there for years where regulars are known by name. Small and quaint feel to it. Extra large coffee mugs. Staff was very welcoming when we arrived. Very friendly. Heather was great. I had the shortstack, bacon and hash browns. GF had 1 pancake, sausage link and scrambled eggs. They do offer a 5 pancake challange. Eat all 5 in 30 minutes its free (no one has done it). PAncakes are the size of dinner plates and about 1/2 inch thick. They were fluffy, definitely need more than 1 thing of butter and plenty of syrup. The sausage link and eggs were over cooked (did not say anything as we were really there to try the pancakes. I was only able to finish 1 pancake. If i go back i would order 1 pancake off the sides menu so i didnt waste so much food.

First off, I think they do very well given the limited size of the place. It is small, but comfortable. We came at a busy time, but were seated quickly, and Heather was over to us quickly as well. I ordered the eggs Benedict while my lovely bride got the biscuit (singular) and sausage gravy. Let's start with the coffee. This is regular coffee, not some burnt tasting french roast... Good old regular coffee. The food arrived quickly and I thought for a moment that there was no way my wife could eat that whole biscuit ... I've seen smaller chihuahua's. Soft and fluffy, great biscuit and the chunky gravy perfected it. My eggs Bennie we're really good as well. Rather than the traditional Canadian bacon, it came with nice slabs of ham. Delicious. The only thing I would want better is the temperature of everything... It all needs to be warmer. Though not cold, it should be hotter. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. On a side note, the guy at the next table had the pancakes. They were bigger than the plate and looked amazing. Definitely a come back again.

Definitely a very quaint brunch spot. Felt like the food lacked seasoning but we did enjoy their pancake. Not sure if I would go back but I know some locals love this place

Delicious food with HUGE portions. I absolutely loved the BLT with the fried egg. And they gave me so many curly fries. It's reasonably priced with friendly staff. Food came out hot and fast. They offer a cash total which is a little less than the non cash total.

My breakfast omelette was delicious!The portions were huge! The service was great. I plan on visiting when I'm in the Dallas area!

Absolutely delicious food and the biscuits and pancakes are so big, they use pizza boxes for to go orders!! Best breakfast in the area by far!! Tom and staff are the greatest and always make sure you leave full and happy. Have to try this place!!

Really great service and the food was amazing ! They changed the TV channel to the one we wanted. Brought out extra gravy for the HUGE biscuits... amazing place.

Great small diner with delicious food. Portions were super large!! Best customer service ever.

Where do I even start? I came in today around 10:30, and the place was totally empty--that should have told me everything. But I saw the reviews and decided to give it a try anyway, and boy, was that a mistake. I ordered the omelet, and it had no flavor whatsoever. The hash browns were burnt, and I'm not sure this place even knows what seasoning is. I think the people get fixated on the large portion sizes, but I'd take smaller portions with actual flavor any day of the week.

The food was your basic breakfast, very average. The coffee was watery and very weak. Except for the giant pancake. The giant pancake was very good and an enjoyable novelty food item. Service was fun! Heather our waitress was attentive and spunky. She drew you and other customers into witty banter which made for an uplifting dining experience. Ambiance was minimal home style Americana. I would go back with others to have them try that pancake (with stronger coffee next time).

What a GREAT place for breakfast!!! The model for how restaurants and ANY customer-oriented business should be. This place is really what I wish every restaurant on the planet was like. We were immediately greeted by a genuinely friendly Heather, who got us seated, and then immediately got us huge cups of great coffee. The menu is a good mix of traditional and variations-on-traditional breakfast meals. Be warned...the portions are GINORMOUS! The biscuit in my daughter's biscuit and gravy (biscuit...singular) was a bit bigger than a softball. My son's cinnamon roll french toast had four large slices of toast. My wife's strawberry blintz took up a large plate and had a full cup of strawberries. My brother's country breakfast included four strips of bacon, and came with seven. You get the idea. Big portions, so come hungry! And, be prepared to be full. We finished eating at 11, and none of us was hungry again until dinner. All of the food was perfect. I asked for over-medium eggs. They came over medium. The hash browns were crisp on the outside, and fluffy on the inside. The sausage gravy didn't break halfway through the meal, but didn't rely on a bunch of starch or stabilizers to keep it thick. Every component of every dish was perfectly cooked and plated. Heather was the model for what friendly, attentive service should be. She immediately greeted seated us. She made us feel welcome, always checked on coffee and warmed us up if we needed it. She let us customize dishes as needed, and our entire party's food was delivered quickly and at the same time. From "welcome" to check, it was exceptional, superb service. Highly recommend, and highly recommend going out of your way to eat here, if for no other reason than it will restore your faith that some restaurants know how to feed and treat you.

An absolute MUST go place for breakfast and brunch fanatics! Great service, HUGE portions, quality food. Very affordable prices on everything. The pancakes are bigger in person than even the photos show. Same for homemade hot biscuits. Tom is a great dude who cares for his customers clearly. Heather is the best waitress ever. Super friendly and kind. Ask for her if you can. Her favorite color is pink! Dallas fans gonna love this place as the walls are covered in Cowboy swag. The ham slice and 2 eggs plate with country fried potatoes is a winner in my book for sure. Just $14.50 for all that food! Winning!

Was good food overall, I couldn't say had something memorable to repeat, especially that we drove 45min to try it. Server was nice and joking around. Good service, just don't think it's a consistent go to for us. I had chicken fried steak and eggs, eggs were a bit runny, sauce wasn't a traditional gravy but was ok. Came with their Texas sized pancake which was good and huge! But for $18, had better at closer restaurants to our home. My wife and friend enjoyed the burrito, another friend had pancakes with strawberry and chocolate that was enjoyed. Restaurant feel was an older diner, simple

What an amazing experience. We came in from keller 30 min away to try this delightful family. It is a famiky Owned business with texas size portions but that isn't the important part. You can go to places with large portions and it isn't good food. This was not only good it was delicious!!! A must try!!!

Because my initial visit was during the pandemic, I was interested to come here when things were back to normal. Back then, I did not realize the restaurant's philosophy is bigger is better. While waiting to order, I saw most of the surrounding tables request takeout boxes. My coffee was poured into a mug twice the standard size. I had to double the amount of cream and sweetener. Compared to my last visit, both the chorizo omelette and skillet are on the regular menu. I ordered the Chorizo N Cheese Omelette. When the toast was not served with the eggs, I had to flag my waitress and wait for the kitchen to make it. There were no other any problems with the order. I did not enjoy the taste (actually lack of taste) of the hash browns. Because I mostly ate the eggs and toast, I was one of the few customers not requiring a box for my food.

Tried for the first time today and the food was amazing!! The service was great and the portions are huge!!

2nd visit while I was in town. The biscuit is still huge and good. The food was prepared to order and was accurate. Everything taste good. The staff was friendly.

This local gem is just what you need to satisfy your breakfast needs. The atmosphere is that of a small local cafe. Heather was the member that served us. She immediately greeted my hubs and I with a hello and smile. Her witty and fun banter was a delight. She spoke to us as if we've known each other years. She provided great service, but also went above to be personable and efficient. The food is fresh and delicious. The portion sizes are that of "Texas size". Come hungry! My hubs and i come over from another city to enjoy this restaurant. Whether you walk in happy or sad, you'll leave better than came.

I really enjoy Jackie's. I haven't been back there since like 2010, friendly environment and servers are quick to attend to big groups. I also like that the chefs personally go out and deliver the food, if there is something wrong they take it right back. Let's get the bad over with, our server in particular was really really bad at taking the orders, we had to clarify what we had on our orders and they still came out wrong. Some of us had to wait on the order to get fixed while others in our group were eating. In the end I think she may have been new but I won't say any names, she was nice. Another thing I didn't really enjoy was the actual pancake. It was too grainy and kinda dry. I feel like I enjoyed it back then much more. The strawberries were good and so where the almonds. One last thing, was the restrooms. They were sort of messy and could have used a clean up. There was no soap on the mens and I feel like that's a must on an hourly checkup. Now for the good, I got the "build your own omelette" and it was delicious! I got it loaded with pretty much everything you can get and got the white cheese on top with avocado slices. That thing was GOOD! I highly recommend it. My wife got the eggs Benedict and that was really good too, I would have gotten that as my second choice. All in all it was a good time with family in a homestyle breakfast restaurant.

Still a classic breakfast location. Surprisingly not a lot of people but food came faster and that's a positive. Used to be a time where there was a long wait. Miss Linda is a sparkling server who is very attentive and reminds you you're in the south. Always love seeing the old Cowboys players and their autographs on the wall Starting to show signs of aging but still a good breakfast. You will never leave hungry for sure from this place. Lol

The food is delicious! My fiancé and I came to Jackie's Ham and Eggs to celebrate his birthday on a Wednesday. I got the ham scrambled eggs ginormous biscuit. My fiancé got the gigantic pancakes. You can also request birthday pancakes. Everything we ate was so good! Unfortunately, I was only disappointed with the orange juice. I was really hoping that the orange juice was freshly squeezed. However, it tasted like the cheapest orange juice. Instead, I got a can of Sprite. Service provided by Summer was superb. Summer is super friendly, and she told us a little bit about the history of the restaurant. I highly recommend for you to check this place out.

i love this place with my whole heart. big portions, tastes like someone who loves me made it. the staff is so real and kind and cool.

Tremendous service. Our waitress was welcoming and generous. French Toast and the flap jack were delicious. Definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a breakfast spot.

Heather was amazing! Even with the restaurant busy she made us feel welcomed. Food was great and restaurant was clean. Good size portions! Hope to come back soon on my next visit.

Exceptional service! Our first time eating breakfast here and let me tell you it was delicious!!! The atmosphere is wonderful and Heather has the best personality ever you will love her!! If you are ever I. Lewisville you gotta a stop at Jackie's Ham N Eggs!! Heck even if you aren't this place is surely worth the drive!!!

Excellent service. The restaurant could use an upgrade, but other than that, it was very clean and welcoming. Tom did a wonderful job. I got a sausage tomato and cheese omlette which came with a very large Pancake and hashbrowns. Pancake was GREAT! Hashbrowns were cooked just right. Nice crunch but still soft inside. I did have an issue with my omlette. It just tasted off, like something was spoiled or maybe the cheese was generic. I'm not sure but after a couple bites, I decided not to eat it. I enjoyed everything else and will definitely be back for another try. I will pick a different egg type and cheese next time.

They were not busy so the service was good. The food was not as good as I remembered, we had been there before years ago. Its a nice diner with decent food. Nothing fancy just big biscuits and pancakes.

It would have been 5 stars but the hashbrowns were burnt and scrambled eggs had broken egg shells inside Biscuits and pancakes were hugh Ham was very favorable

My husband and I use to live in Lewisville and always came over here for breakfast. When we were in town for a wedding we had to come back. We love how friendly everyone is and the pancakes!

The food is delicious and fresh! All the employees are great, they have a great attitude and consistently check up on you. If and when im in the area, I will make it habit to stop by.

Good food, good service. The type of place that serves traditional American breakfasts. Heavy on the portions yet easy on the wallet. Go hungry, leave happy.

A Survivor's Story In 1985, Josephine "Jackie" Shields and her Husband Bob Shields opened Ham- N - Eggs in Lewisville, Texas. Jackie's desire to open a restaurant came out of adversity she faced early in her life. In 1942, Japanese forces invaded Manilla, Philippines. Jackie at the time lived in Manilla as her father served as a high-ranking military officer. For three years, two months, and fourteen days of World War Il Jackie, her sister, and mother were held captive by Japanese forces. There Jackie and her family were starved and tortured among many other prisoners of war. "Putrid water, rice, and fish heads were all that we were fed. ", Jackie Said The internment camps in the Philippines produced some of the harshest conditions. Of those held captive in the Philippines, one-third of the 13,966 civilians and 39,700 soldiers whom were interned by the Japanese died before the war ended according, to Australian historian Gavan Daws. Of those many casualties was Jackie's father a survivor of the Batan death march who later died upon returning stateside of complications from malaria and other disease. "He stood 6 - foot - 4 but weighed only 86 pounds. You can imagine what a sight he was." Shields told. From those experiences Jackie vowed to never let anyone go hungry again! Deep in the heart of North Texas Ham-N- Eggs quickly became a popular spot to dine and developed a following among professional athletes. Ham-N-tggs has attracted the likes of Dallas Cowboy and Dallas Star greats like Troy Aikman, Mike Modano, Daryl Johnston, Mark Stepnowski, Chad Hennings, Emmitt Smith, Tony Romo, and Mark Tunei. Known for our ginormous pancakes, friendly service, and former owner Jackie Shield's larger than life personality. Ham-N-Eggs has been serving up the community for over 34 years. Jackie Shields ruled the roost for over 22 years until here passing in late 2007. To keep her legacy alive Jackie's son Jody Rice and her loyal staff continued to spread Jackie's mission. To honor Jackie Ham - N - Eggs was renamed to Jackie's Ham - N- Eggs. In 2016, Jackie's son Jody Rice passed away and his sons located in California took ownership. Around the same time Ms. Margaret, Jackie's longest tenured employee was rehabbing a torn rotator cuff. "It was a tough period for Jackie's.", Ms. Margaret said. "All I wanted to do was be there and when I was there, I had to take step back from my normal duties." In 2019, the Rice family approached Ms. Margaret about taking over Jackie's Ham - N- Eggs. Over the years Jackie and Ms. Margaret had developed a special bond. The Rice family viewed Ms. Margaret as the most suitable person to continue their grandmothers' mission. Apprehensive to take on such a large business venture by herself, Ms. Margaret enlisted the help of her son Tom Gauna, and brought back their loyal kitchen staff, led by Domingo Ramirez. Together with our loyal staff and passion to serve our guest Jackie's Ham-N-Eggs continues to strive to give our guests an eggscellent you won't soon forget. In the words of Jackie, "Happiness is something we like to share. It takes work. It takes going the extra mile." We look forward to serving you and thank you for being our guest. -Tom Gauna- Co-Owner and General Manager

Great southern home style breakfast with HUGE portions at a fair price. The staff are always so kind and welcoming - even on busy days. Ask to sit in Heather's section when you stop in - she is always quick with refills and has a smile. She is one of the highlights of breakfast any time our family pops in on the weekend.

Service was great nice and cozy type cafe, eggs were horrible ask for soft scrambled with American cheese, eggs were fried hard and with cheese on top

First time I've heard of this place. It was very clean and well lit. Waitress was very welcoming and attentive even though she was the only one there to serve. My breakfast was delicious, the fact that they offer corned beef hash was a winner for me. Home fries were delicious and my eggs were cooked as I like them. Definitely making this in my go to list.

Great portions , lovely service very friendly and make you feel welcome look forward to trying the pancakes enough to share for sure

Amazing Food & Service. HUGE portions. Biscuits the size of a small loaf of Bread. Pancakes the size of a Hubcap. Omelettes take up most of a large plate....and then there is that pile of Home Fries that come with them? It's a bit of an out of the way place,but trust me: You won't regret ever stopping in & eating there!!!! It's become a 'Friday after Thanksgiving' tradition for me, even being a 30+ mile drive one way. Come Hungry!!!!

Very pleasant morning breakfast at Jackie's! Staff was very kind and attentive! Cinnamon roll French toast was tasty and nicely cooked bacon with it. Was very calm atmosphere with some nice music going in the background. Good start to the day

Great portions, wide selection! Biscuits are huge & yummy...and the pancakes are enormous.

Food was delicious, portions huge, service delightful. 10/10 recommend the biscuit and gravy

Jackie's Ham & Eggs is a classic diner experience with a friendly staff, check this local spot out! Ms. Linda is our favorite there, right along with the BIG fluffy pancakes . They have some Texas sized omelettes to go with the pancakes also..went with the breakfast tacos though this morning. And if you enjoy biscuits & gravy, thats a must-order as well! Happy Eating!

my husband and I went to ham and eggs today for breakfast and the waitress. Heather was absolutely wonderful her and her daughter Summer with two of the best waitresses we've had in a very long time the coffee needs to be changed out for something much stronger, although the portions are still enormous. Of course you can eat off it for the next three days but we enjoyedspending time visiting with the wait staff

Slow service, unprofessional wait staff. Bacon was not fully cooked, raw! Received a beautiful hair strand wrapped perfectly around my pancake!

If you haven't tried Jack's Ham and Eggs, you're missing out. Food is outstanding and huge. Make sure you ask for Heather. She will make you feel like family! Definitely worth the 45 minute drive from our house. Can't wait to visit again.
