Jackies Ham & Eggs

The food quantity was shocking! Unbelievable portions! And food was decent also. I wouldn’t say it was amazing but for the price I thought it was pretty good. I do recommend to try this place. It makes you laugh when you see the dishes come out :)

First time here. I’ve heard a lot about the portions so I had to check it out. The pancakes and the biscuits are by far the largest I’ve seen. Decent presentation. I had the bacon platter with breakfast potatoes and biscuit and gravy. The biscuits are over cooked till dry. The gravy had no flavor whatsoe ever. And the breakfast potatoes were completely overcooked, almost burnt. In a huge fan of breakfast resturants so I was excited to eat here. In not one to talk down a resturant. But the quality to quantity ratio was off.

I heard about this place because my son had been wanting to try it. I bought a $ 25 gift certificate at
knowing I had to spent $ 50 to use it. I loaded up the family on Sunday morning and went to give it a try. I was told at this point that the gift certificates are not redeemable on the weekends. For me that means it is worthless. I will never be able to spend $ 50 on breakfast on a weekday morning. The food was pretty good, but not great. The portion sizes were absurdly large. A huge waste of food unless the family plans on sharing one meal. The service was poor. The food didn’t come out all at the same time, we had to hunt down utensils, we asked for water three times and still never got it. The owners story is inspiring; however, the restaurant was not somewhere I will frequent.

Me and my fiancée went to this place and we where treated as though we were ghosts. There were two other people in the restaurant at the time and the staff just looked at us like we were a gust of wind, first flaw. Second we ordered our food and as we waited more people came in. after sitting for about ten minutes, the people that came in ten minutes after us received their food before Me and my fiancée and me and my fiancée were like wooowwwww! Second flaw! Then when our order came out I ordered a veggie omelet and she ordered a chicken sandwich, my omelet was burnt along the outside and the taste wasn’t that appealing, it tasted like they just threw cold vegetables in the inside of the omelet and the my fiancée ordered her sandwich with mayo and instead they put mustard, so she tells the server that she wanted mayo and asked if he could bring her some coffee and when he returned he brought the same sandwich with mustard again, by this time my food has gotten cold and my fiancée’s food has gotten cold and after the third time of bringing the sandwich back still no coffee, so as far as coming back I don’t think we will be coming back here. I noticed that a few other customers came in and weren’t greeted as they walked in, just looked at like they came from outer space so, it’s my view of how things went.

Amazing food! The biscuits were as big as a loaf of bread. Everything we had was delicious. Go in with a big appetite and stretchy pants. Portions are huge but still very tasty!

Love this place, refer people here all the time.

Huge biscuits and pancakes, but the pancakes are a little too bready.
The biscuits and gravy (choices) are very tasty as are the other breakfast items.

I saw the previous reviews and was extremely skeptical about trying this place out but I know from experience that you have to go yourself to see what a place is really all about. So it’s about 10:30 am and I just arrived right behind a large group of bikers. I can tell from the outside looking in that the place is extremely packed today. As soon as I entered the restaurant the wait staff promptly greeted me at the door, I was promptly seated, given a menu, and water was brought right to my table followed by my drink order. I waited maybe about 10 minutes for my food to be brought to table which was rather fast for as packed as this place was.
Ok so the food… I have to admit I was super excited when it arrived at the table, huge portions, looked like it was cooked to perfection, and then, the first bite… Disappointed… My toast was stale, my hash browns were super greasy with cheese attached to the underside of them (of which I didn’t order), my eggs were perfect egg whites just how I like them, but my bacon was super greasy. Kind of made my stomach hurt to be honest. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of this place and the staff is über friendly and awesome but I feel like they should pay more attention to the food. So sad to say that is the only downfall to this restaurant. It saddens me to say but it is very unlikely that I will be returning.

Unfortunately, I was not impressed with this place. The service and the portions were excellent!!! The food however was so bland! No taste, no seasoning, just sad. We ordered an omelette with home fries and the pork chops and eggs. NO TASTE! *Sighs* First and last visit.

We went here yesterday & it definitely lived up to my expectations. My best tip would be to go on an empty stomach & resist tempt in trying to order everything! It’s hard! LOL Anything you get will be great! I had the Cakes-​n-​Eggs & hubby had the Denver omelet. We split a biscuit & gravy. Those of you who have know that’s a lot of food & it was! I had ¾ of my 2 pancakes left. We were stuffed silly. As soon as our stomachs can handle it, we’ll be back!

Excelente lugar para tomar un desayuno rico y fuerte, muy buena comida y buen trato al cliente

My husband and I went to this place since it was recommended by a friend. First impression: the place was outdated, crowded, and not very appealing. After seating ourselves and getting our own menus, we decided to go for Chorizo con Papas and the Belgian Waffle Special. I also ordered a coffe which had stuff in it and on the cup; it seems like either they needed a new filter or they needed to wash their cups better. By this point, I was already a little worried about how our food was going to be.
The Chorizo con Papas was good, but it’s wayyyy too much food, so much that it started grossing us out. The Belgian waffle was burnt and dry. They completely forgot to bring the scrambled eggs and bacon that came with the waffle so we had to remind them again.
They are obviously short staffed which just makes the service worst. It doesn’t look like they have any type of structure or organization at all.
When my husband went to the counter to pay (since they were taking so long to bring the check) he mentioned that he noticed a kid who had his food in front of him but wasn’t eating it. Why? He didn’t have any silverware… so my husband had to get him silverware so he could finally start eating. Who knows how long he had already been waiting…
I don’t think we’ll be going back…

Generally a good spot for breakfast. The service is hit or miss, depending on if you get a seasoned waitress or not. My husband and I come here every once in a while and normally it’s pretty good. Last time we sat down on the only open table, right in front of the door, and waited for probably 5 minutes before anyone came and brought us waters and menus. Another 5 minutes before our waitress asked to take our drink order… she had walked by our table at least 4 times before coming to say anything to us. The food is normally pretty good and quick to come out with pretty good service so that’s why it gets 4 stars. I wasn’t too impressed this last time though… we will be back!

We got to this place at 11:30 AM to avoid any lunch rush. Only four other customers, all together at the same table. We both ordered an omelet an a pancake. When the waitress sat the food on the table my first thought was Damn, the pancakes are nearly burned. And the underside were burned nearly black. I couldn’t believe that she actually served them. We did peel the crust away and tried to eat some of them. Not good at all. The omelets were okay on the top side but the undersides were burned black. How do people expect to stay in business serving burned up food!
As we got up to leave we couldn’t help to notice two things. The place was nasty. Food scattered around on the floor around uncleaned tables from previous customers, and only two lunch customers had come in.

Love this place! It’s a local secret and it’s worth the wait. Portions are huge and can feed 2 – 3 people, food is amazing, and the staff is so friendly!

A friend recommended this place so I decided to give it a shot. When I walked in, I felt like I walked into a time warp to a diner from the 90’s. They were tallying up bills using a calculator, for God’s sake.
I noticed that they were microwaving a lot of the items before sending them out to the tables. My coffee wasn’t anything special. It was clearly some store bought ground coffee.
I ordered the short stack with chocolate chips, which was HUGE! Way more than even my wife and I could finish, which seems a bit wasteful. The pancakes weren’t really that great either. They were a bit dry and didn’t really have much in the way of flavor. Also, the chocolate chips were just thrown on top. I guess I was expecting them to be cooked in the batter.
For my wife, I ordered the Bacon and Eggs with hash browns and biscuits and gravy. They messed up our order and gave us ham instead of bacon, which my wife doesn’t like. Their interpretation of a biscuit is a giant sourdough chunk of bread that could feed an entire family of 4.
Personally, I would rather have smaller portions of really good, fresh food instead of huge portions of *eh food.

first time visit. portion sizes are gigantic. prices are great given you have enough food for three meals. we asked for heated syrup which made the pancake perfect. the grits were delicious. the omelet was good. my bacon was very crisp which is how i like my bacon. my hashbrowns were excellent. my eggs were scrambled well but i forgot to special order them. atmosphere was family oriented.

Great breakfast place! Huge biscuit — looks like a loaf of bread really. The portions are super sized and would satisfy a hungry teenager.
A delightful place with super friendly servers. With the amount of people eating there, I did not see one single frown, just lots of satisfied faces and tummies! If we will pass by Lewisville again, I’ll definitely return to this place.

10 years ago I would have rated it higher, but in the time since my last visit, the food quality has taken a turn for the worse. I would rather pay for well prepared food than for a huge amount of poorly cooked food.
My favorite breakfast is a ham and cheese omelet with hash browns. Both arrived burnt. The hash browns should be called hash blacks. The omelette was sufferable. I got the enormous pancake on the side… note, the tables are too small to accommodate all the food. Because they insist on giving such large pancakes, they are never tasty. Mine was so cold, yet burnt, it could not melt butter.
I have no idea where Jackie went, but someone needs cooking classes. I used brag about this place… not so much now.

This is a dive. Being so, is neither bad, nor good. Generally, my review style will keep the 5’s for holy $%## moments when everything comes together from restaurant design, to service, to excellent food.
Ham & Eggs is nestled into an unassuming strip mall and the only way you would notice it driving by is large number of cars in the parking lot. I arrived around 9AM on a Sunday. It was busy but there were still tables available.
The Coffee
The coffee was hot but not exceptional. There was a bit of an acrid after taste indicating that Ham & Eggs either buy coffee pre-​ground or need to learn how to properly calibrate a coffee grinder. This of course assumes the owners are buying acceptable beans in the first place.
Breakfast
I ordered the egg white omelet, hash browns, and wheat toast. The order arrived quickly. The omelet itself was burnt dark brown. The outer omelet was crispy. Not only was this unsightly but, when eggs are over cooked they become rubbery and unpleasant. The potatoes were cold. The wheat toast was lightly toasted and arrived at the table without butter. I was there with two other people who both had equally mediocre food quality.
Ok…so YES the portions are gigantic — too much so for this UnilocalER. The pancakes hang over the plates and I did not see one person who was able to finish. So, what is the point really? Who takes a half-​eaten soggy syrup soaked pancake home for later? Nobody. It is just wasteful.
Nothing on this menu is remarkable, nothing. Their gimmick is portion sizes. BIG. Bring your appetite, even then, share.
The Service
Friendly and prompt. Ham & Eggs is not making money if you sit for 3 hours talking with friends. Those prices and portion sizes demand they turn tables like mad. This is exactly what they do.
Conclusion
This place is a garden variety greasy spoon. No surprises, no culinary masterpieces, just massive amounts of food at a reasonable price. I am on the fence for 2 or 3 stars. I can respect that this is an «it is what it is» kind of place. No pretense. Just heaping plates full of meh-​comfort-​food.

You should go here if you like a lot of food. Like a lot of it!
The pancakes and GINORMOUS (spelling?).
The egg dishes are small so don’t share, the biscuit is huge too.
Parking in the lot is easy.
