Jackson's Eatery serves up comforting Southern American favorites like chicken and waffles in a laid-back, industrial-chic spot, making it a prime brunch destination in Long Island City.
"You’ll smell fried chicken as soon as you come up the steps at the Vernon-Jackson 7 station. That’s coming from Jackson’s, a Southern restaurant right next to the train, with a moustache for a logo. In addition to fried chicken and waffles, you can get hush puppies, fried green tomatoes, and other comfort food that can be weirdly hard to find elsewhere in the city. Happy hour drinks and snacks are popular here, especially when they have live music. Jackson's is also a good weekend brunch option." - Neha Talreja, Bryan Kim, Hannah Albertine, Sonal Shah
"From chicken and waffles to eggs benedict pancakes, you can get brunch and cocktails from this LIC spot from 10am to 4pm Friday through Sunday." - nikko duren
"Starting at 10am every day, you can order American dishes like chicken and pumpkin waffles, smoked salmon, or a pulled pork sandwich online." - Hannah Albertine, Nikko Duren, Bryan Kim, Arden Shore, Matt Tervooren
"Jackson’s Eatery and Bar is a seasonal American restaurant located about half a mile from One Court Square, where Amazon will temporarily operate. The owner expects an increase in daytime customers with Amazon's arrival." - Carla Vianna
"Jackson’s serves mostly southern American food in a casual corner space on a main drag in Long Island City. You can get fried chicken and waffles, and some other comfort foods, like bacon mac n cheese. Happy hour drinks and snacks are popular here, especially when they have live music. It’s also a good weekend brunch option for people looking to chase their morning Advil and blue Gatorade with bloody marys and bacon-cheeseburgers topped with fried eggs." - Matt Tervooren
