About Jackie's Dream

Jackie's Dream is a soul food restaurant that truly lives up to its name. The fried green tomatoes are delicious, and the turkey and dressing remind diners of Thanksgiving. The fried chicken is amazing, and the pork chop is moist with a flavorful coating. The fried okra is also delicious, and the green beans and okra come highly recommended. This place is known for not being afraid to season their food well. With a welcoming atmosphere and great food, Jackie's Dream is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic soul food.

The restaurant is run by great people, including Jackie, who treats everyone like family. The food is made with love, and the menu offers a variety of classic soul food dishes, including oxtails, fried fish, and delicious desserts like banana pudding and peach cobbler. The fried chicken and hot chicken are both packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The okra stands out with its salty and thick breading that complements the fresh vegetable. The mac and cheese is creamy and cheesy, and the cornbread provides a warm and comforting addition to the meal.

The dining experience at Jackie's Dream is exceptional, featuring attentive service and a welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant is reasonably priced, and the portion sizes are generous, leaving customers satisfied and eager to return. With daily specials like ribs, this place is always busy and worth a visit for those who enjoy good soul food.

On my way to work I would pass by here it's always busy so me & a couple of other's decided to check it out.. It is definitely worth checking out the food is amazing, decent portions sizes, great customer service, and not too pricey. If you like good soul food then come check it out for yourself. They have daily specials today is ribs.

I had the best experience at this place today. And was served by the owner herself, such a sweet lady. And yall that catfish was GOOD!

Before I left she said “after the third visit you’re family” she makes you feel so welcome.

This is simply the best restaurant in Knoxville. Not only is the food absolutely delicious, the servings are large and the food is hot or cold, depending on what it is. The wonderful slaw is always chilled. In addition, the servers are friendly and efficient, although possibly overworked.

What a great experience!
