Awesome place to grab dinner and a beer. I was on a motorcycle adventure in the area staying at Stroud's Run Campground 10 minutes away. Decided to head into town for dinner instead of cooking at camp and I'm glad I did. Great atmosphere, good food and beer and friendly staff. The place is really cool inside with a bunch of Edison lights hanging from the ceiling. Recommended.

service was alright but none of the four people in our party enjoyed their dinner. drink selection was alright but only if you drink beer. risotto needed seasoning. caesar dressing is non-traditional and non-tasty. brisket sandwich needed sauces. picture shows very small portion of steak on the salad. though they took some off my bill for this.Vegetarian options: lots of salad. some mushroom sandwiches.

Jackie O’s is a classic, but the current menu is nonsensical and terrible

Grabbed a few beers here while visiting Athens on a Hocking Hills trip! I'm from Columbus and love their new location there. This one is a lot smaller, but beautiful inside and their beers are incredible. The host we had on Thursday was SO kind in explaining our questions. We sat on the patio and had a wonderful time. Excited to come back and try the food.

My favorite place in Athens. Everything I've had here has been delicious: beer, sandwiches, pizza, salad, burgers -- all so good. The staff is really friendly too.

Jackie O's fantastic brews and service. Megan L. was our server and was pleasant, friendly and so very kind. Lunch time in a college town can be crazy but it was delightful at Jackie O's. The ambiance was relaxing and enjoyable. Our Fish and Chips were more than enough to eat. The spicy tartar sauce was excellent and Megan also provided Malt Vinegar. We will be back!

Not sure what is going on with Jackie O's. The last 2 trips have made the decision to not return. All orders were wrong (both visits) and not just minor things either. Yes, the manager comped meals and gave a discount but 2 times is a pattern. Just doesn't seem to be run right these days. Hate giving this review because this used to be a solid staple! Just not sure what's happened over the last 2 months. Beer is still great.

Neat spot for food and beer. Our server was very friendly and apologetic for the amount of time it took to prepare the food. Certainly a wide variety on the beer menu. Flights of 4, 6 (an Ohio flight board) and 8 available. All were very tasty. A good food menu and the fried chicken sandwich I had was very good. It is a good thing we weren't in a hurry. We stopped on a Sunday afternoon and while business was steady, there were still seats available. It did take over an hour to get our food, which were just pub sandwiches. Again very good, just seemed a long time to wait for 2 people. Maybe caught them on a tight staffing day.

Had a pleasant experience here, good food and good wait staff, but what happened afterwards is why I give it one star…..I believe I got undercooked chicken in my Mac and cheese bowl and therefore got horrific food poisoning, not only that, it was on a first date!So instead of doing all the fun things two people going out normally do I spent the entire night lurched and crouched over her toilet evacuating every ounce of matter from my insidesI’m surprised my date didn’t just drop me off at the clinic and wish me the best of luckI know that cooks don’t get paid enough and probably could care less, I don’t blame them, but pleeeasseee do a once over on the meats guys I don’t wanna go through that again

Tried the ribeye today for lunch. Was below expectations - probably my own fault for having the ribeye at Texas Roadhouse earlier this week and expecting similar. Will go back for the hot honey pizza which was great on previous visit.

I can't give Jackie O's Public House in Athens, Ohio, anything less than five stars! The service here is fantastic, and the quality of the food is consistently outstanding. The Appalachian chicken sandwich is a must-try – flavorful and satisfying. And let's talk about the pizza – it's truly top-notch, with a perfect blend of flavors. The ambiance is welcoming, and the staff goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Jackie O's is a culinary gem worth visiting. And I recently ordered 20 meals to go with no issues or missing items. Now that’s SERVICE!
