Jackie’s Restaurant

Great homemade desserts! Meatloaf was good and plenty of it. Soup was delicious! Nice local spot with friendly service

Pros:
— Clean
— Decent Service
Cons:
— Bad Coffee
— Food is so so
— 50¢ charge for Breakfast after 11:30 (are you kidding me!)
— Horrible décor
My wife and I decided to stop here for breakfast, since Café 202, our new coffee spot is right upstairs. The interior is a bit dated along with random pictures and signs scotch taped to a post behind the register.
Our waitress was nice, but you could hear the wait staff talking near the front about tips and work related stuff, which we found very unprofessional. The food wasn’t bad, but is wasn’t good either. Oh and if you go there past 11:30 and want some breakfast, they will charge you ¢50. I found this utterly ridiculous! We won’t be going back to Jackie’s unless there are major changes.

If your looking for good food and good service, then stay away. Coffee was awful and so was the service. Waitresses were unprofessional talking about their tips. The Litchfield Hills has plenty of hidden gems. This is not one of them. Go upstairs to Café 202 to get great coffees and snacks instead!

I’ve been here quite a few times. If you want a decent omelet and don’t mind a casual place that could use a little sprucing up, this place is fine. Service is good and the breakfast specials change often. So if Patty’s is crowded, Jackie’s will always accommodate your needs.

Came here the morning after a pineapple martini bender at Ditto. It was a Sunday morning and we were one of 3 tables. Awesome. Needless to say service was superfast. it better be. right? haha I had a chili omelette with rye toast and homefries. It was all good but the homefries. I could have forgone the rest and had a plate full of those. I don’t know what they season them with but they were some of the best homefries I have ever had!!! I will be back!

This is a breakfast joint and you should not expect more. It is local cooked food at a good price. The owner is proud and works hard.
yes, the place could be cleaner and the food could show some trends. I find it to be a dependable place to have an inexpensive breakfast. The prices are right because it serves the locals.

Sure, the food is all right and the location is convenient, but every time I have been there I have gotten AWFUL customer service. The waitresses are all gossipy and into each other, chit chatting instead of tending to their tables, or else flirting with the regulars (mostly workmen, I gather) who sit at the counter.
Plus, the muffins they serve for breakfast are not fresh, just taken out of a giant freezer and defrosted before they toast and serve them.
I’ve seen the owner a few times, and he has been very unapproachable and unfriendly. Once I was here eating and he came in with his huge, obnoxious family and breezed through the entrance, sat everyone at a table and began barking orders at the waitress who flocked to him. Didn’t do any work, didn’t socialize with the patrons, didn’t manage his staff well (looks like they are all terrified of him, the vibe changed instantly when he walked in), and in my opinion, not a great atmosphere to create as a manager or a small business owner in a small town, for that matter.
I’ll go elsewhere for breakfast and lunch, where I get treated right, and so do the people who work there.

Well-​done pancakes — just the way I like them. Great egg dishes, really good home fries, strong coffee, super friendly waitress. TV on, old school diner type bar and booths, etc. Cash only, I don’t mind. You won’t spend more than $ 30 for two and you will not be able to move. Thanks for saving us during Hurricane Sandy — we used all their outlets to charge our mobile devices all week long!
