"I couldn't even take a picture of the food because the way I demolished it was insane lol . Got the Whiting Combo Sm and Whitting Sandwich along with 2 drinks. The portions? Well worth the money. The fish? Nice and flavorful and freshly crisp . The Mac and cheeseee? It was actually Mac and Cheese thank GOD. The food was 1000/10 and I will be back"
"The Oxtail. Dinner is mid. The yams are from a can and canned yams will always be a negative. The Mac and cheese is ok nothing to write home about. You do receive a healthy portion of oxtail and it's not just bones. Taste wise, they lack flavor and spice. We need an option of extra oxtail gravy. The cornbread is a tad dry but buttery and sweet, however, the dryness could because it's overcooked. "

"So so so good! I love meatloaf when it's done well and this is juicy and super flavorful. I get this meal all the time because it's just that good. All their food is great but I keep coming back to this. I always pair it with the rice and gravy, yams and string beans . Mouthwatering and a large portion of food too. "
"wow! I normally get the smothered pork chops or the turkey wings but I decided to try something different today. First of all, there's adequate portions of the steak, but even if there wasn't the gravy and the fresh vegetables over rice alone would've been a great meal. The collard greens and the macaroni and cheese we're at it quickly portion and we're not running out of the box. To have that moist pill without the consequences of juice is flowing out of the box was definitely evaluate, but it may have been due to the durable food container that was used. Overall, I was very impressed. The food was delicious and now I want to go to sleep instead of finish working lol"

Please tape the beverage container shut to ensure it isn't tampered with. other than that everything is great!"
"Very surprised being a longtime customer!!!! The fish sandwich was dry with no tartar or hot sauce which I requested condiments/utensils. The wheat bread was stale and the fish was soggy with no seasoning/flavor. The cost for a slice of cake was astronomical. I could have purchased the ingredients and baked the cake myself. Your establishment is well known to the community and the food/service should be nothing short of exemplary. Repeat customers are key to any business. Please do better. "

"Third order this month, and Jackson and Goodwin Soul Food never miss!!! Same consistency, same quality, same soul every time.
My girlfriend and I got the Whiting Dinner and the Fried Chicken Dinner, both seasoned and fried to perfection. The mac & cheese was incredible. The collard greens brought me right back home.
And the banana pudding? Worth the order by itself. I'd drive across town just for that.
This is food made with real heart and soul. Customers for life. ❤️"
"On Friday, January 2, while searching for a local soul food fix, DoorDash introduced me to Jackson and Goodwin Soul Food. I read the glowing reviews, placed my order—and immediately wished I had gone in person. That feeling deepened the moment Simone offered me a sample of the duck. One bite in and I knew without question: next time, I’m ordering the duck.
From the warm, genuine welcome by owners Simone and Robert to the spontaneous dessert tastings, this was hospitality at its finest. They should be selling customer service lessons too. I promptly expanded my order to include coconut cake, a large Uptown, and turkey soup. Everything was made with fresh ingredients and love and the order was ready before DoorDash’s quoted time.
And then there were the little details the kind that tell you a place truly cares. The packaging was thoughtful and warm, right down to the Dum Dum lollipop tucked inside. That small, playful touch felt like a wink from the kitchen and perfectly captured the spirit of Jackson and Goodwin: generous
The Food:
Fried Chicken (dark meat): Expertly seasoned, crisp, and not greasy, comfort done right.
Mac & Cheese: Lusciously cheesy and deeply satisfying.
Potato Salad: Perfectly moist with just the right balance of seasoning and mayo.
Sweet Potatoes & Collard Greens (with turkey): Fresh and soulful
Turkey Soup: Even better the next day pure comfort in a bowl.
Jackson and Goodwin isn’t just serving plates they’re preserving food tradition, generosity, and joy.

"This place is as beautiful and the food is amazing! The chicken was so juicy and tasty. Plantains were fresh, perfectly salted, and crisp. I wish the rasta pasta was a little less dry. Overall, amazing and pretty plating, I didn't even wanted to ruin the presentation. "
"The Jerk Chicken had great flavor and a nice smoky char, but it was on the dry side, and chopping it up left a lot of small, tough, bony pieces. If it weren't for how many bony pieces I received, I'd say this was a good portion for the price.
The rice and peas was a real letdown. It tasted completely unseasoned, and I unfortunately got stuck with clumps from the bottom of the pot that were dry, mushy, and devoid of any coconut or herbal flavor. The house jerk sauce had a decent tang and helped rescue the dry chicken, but overall, it missed the mark.
Would I order again? Maybe, but there are better places for jerk chicken so not anytime soon"

"They hooked it up fr I expected a small platter but was able to split between two people its like thanksgiving again I did add extra seasonings but it didnt need any the mac ain't your typical put together Mac this that good black Mac as for the jerk chicken they add onions to garnish the dish but honestly id opt out for those, also the blue berry muffin slaps definitely will order again lookin foward to trying the other deserts and definitely that brisket maybe in person next time for the full experience!"
"Hands down love this place for their Jerk Chicken Platter. The sides are nothing too exciting. Like the Mac and cheese are okay, and potato fries/lemon pepper fries are soggy whenever it gets to me. Probably because of their container. But the Jerk chicken. Hands down top tier. Ordered twice wasn't a fluke. I will order in the future."

"So I good I stopped to write the review! This dish is incredible!! I would absolutely order this again! Everything is fresh and delicious and the portions are out of this world! The salmon and Grilled Salmon & 6 Jumbo Grilled Shrimp combo was the move! I only wish I lived local so I can eat this at my convenience! I absolutely will order this again when I'm in the area!!!"
"This place is solid with good quality food and decent prices. A couple important things to know. For the King Egg Muffin I ordered with butter only but they added Jelly which changes the entire taste profile from savory to sweet, the egg was ordered over medium (which shuld have some or all the yolk runny) but it was completely fried. Also ordered the sausage links but they only put 2 on that decent sized sandwich, really should have 3 IMO. Potatos were great just Def needed some salt and pepper, and I dont normally add salt but they had no flavor without. They French Toast With Breakfast Meat was really good didn't even need syrup IMO."

"Taste great but pasta over cooked"
"I used to order food from here before they changed their photos to AI and the wings used to be dripping in sauce. The shrimp used to be full of sauce and flavorful. now it's lost its touch; however, it is neat in presentation. The the wings don't have much sauce. is dry, and the shrimp I had to add Old bay to give a touch of flavor is dry as well with tax and fees, this is not worth $40"

"Everything was well put together. The chicken breast was on point, plentiful, and drenched in sauce. The yummy yams, buttery red potatoes, and Mac and cheese completed my meal, and it was fantastic."
"OK, so the food looked very delicious online. I was a little bit disappointed because the yams were definitely sitting out dried out and got reheated. They were so chewy and stretchy in a bad way now. The greens were good. They were flavored well with plenty of garlic and onions I'll be too salty, but it'll be nice if the ends were cut off the fish was good as well. I just wish it was three whole pieces of fish instead of one fish cut up into three pieces for $30 like the flavor to everything was good but could use improvement for sure."

"giving 5 stars basically cuz the Whiting (4 pcs) was truly on point.. used to live in the BX and the fish spot was amazing and coming out here to Jersey we've been searching for a spot with great fried Whiting and we've found it 💯
the Wings and Fries was really good but I thought the wings were gonna be fried like from the Chinese spot but these were with flour/dredge.. they were tasty but also there were only 3 when this special says there's supposed to be 4. [real rating would be like 4.5 but can't do halves here"
