Jackie's - Silver Spring

Too bad our last night at Jackie's was a disappointment. We knew it was fried chicken night (which has great food! , but we didn't realize that you can't even order extra sides. This meant that we had to order a chicken dinner for our vegetarian friend, and she couldn't even eat the kale because it had bacon! Then, to make it worse, they wouldn't even give us an extra biscuit or more potato salad. Very disappointing. It felt like they were being very stingy. We've been going to Jackie's for more than 10 years to celebrate birthdays, etc in the neighborhood. We were sad it was leaving, but now we feel like we're ready to move on. Hopefully Jackie's new restaurant will be more customer friendly, especially for vegetarians on ANY night.

We hope to see you back in downtown Silver Spring soon. We will miss you dearly!

Our server was friendly and helpful. We hope another great restaurant will occupy this space in the near future.

The food, service, and atmosphere were all excellent. We savored every bite! The staff was friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. The overall dining experience was so fantastic that we decided to come back on Sunday for brunch, and it was another magical experience.

We have been regulars at Jackie's since we moved to Silver Spring a year and a half ago. In a neighborhood lacking good, unique restaurants, Jackie's stands out. Make sure to not only enjoy their food, but also explore their cocktail menu. However, hurry up and visit in the next few weeks. Unfortunately, due to challenges with Montgomery County, the owner has decided to close this beloved restaurant after eleven years and focus on a new project in DC. It's important to note that Jackie's is always packed and successful, but the county's lack of support for restaurants has led to this decision. Such a shame.
