Jackson's Cafeteria Reviews
Turkey and Dressing with Cranberry Sauce is soooo good
Fried Chicken , Roast Beef Chicken and Dumplings plus wonderful vegetables and salads
My favorite place to eat and we drive here from Lincolnton
Wish we had a cafeteria in Lincolnton like H
Jackson’s
They don’t tell you that the sweet potato casserole has a bunch of lemon juice in it. Who does that?
Roast beef cooked well done, not good. Broccoli casserole smelled like a bunch of onions and the pinto beans were mostly just liquid. Not many beans. Guess I got the bottom of the barrel.
We will never return there again nor will we recommend this restaurant to anyone
I love this place....I never go away hungry ...the food is amazing

Jackson's Cafeteria in Gastonia has been a staple in the community for over 40 years. It offers real, affordable food with a friendly atmosphere, much like how it used to be. Customers appreciate the nostalgic charm and the friendly service, with many mentioning that the food tastes like what their grandmother used to make. Recent visits have shown some decline in food quality and a slight increase in prices, which has disappointed some loyal customers. However, the restaurant still serves popular dishes like Liver with no Onions, Green Beans, Mac and Cheese, Mashed Potatoes with Gravy, and rolls.
The staff is known to be wonderful, providing assistance to those who may have trouble walking. Guests often comment on the great prices and the feeling of southern warmth from the food. Many have praised the homestyle cooking, claiming it to be some of the best in the metro area. The wait staff consistently display positive attitudes, and the interior is well-kept for a pleasant dining experience. Customers have noted that they can request vegetarian options and have dietary restrictions accommodated, with a large parking lot and ramps for wheelchair accessibility. Despite recent issues, many visitors still enjoy the hearty food and friendly service, and some plan to return if they are in the area.
