At Jackson's Neighborhood Eatery & Bar our mission is to bring farm fresh, seasonally-inspired regional American food to Long Island City. With a conscious effort to revitalize much of America’s fare we have playfully recrafted many beloved childhood dishes with a light twist.

We have done so without compromising our strong beliefs in quality service, food, and value. Our promise to our guests – curate only the best local food and beverages to offer LIC residents, friends and family a wonderful neighborhood dining experience.

Please note that we seat complete parties only and cannot hold a table beyond 15 minutes of the appointed time.

If we hadn't been there many times before, we'd think that Jackson's was closing the next day. It was New Year's Eve, we were the only table and food took 45 minutes, order was wrong... So disappointed.

The food was delicious and we didn't have to wait long for it. Christmas music played throughout the restaurant and made the evening out perfect.

Food subpar mediocre at best, especially for the price. Fried chicken was dry. Burger nothing to write home about. Service was decent although we ordered a hot Irish coffee and was brought a cold one with ice cubes and waitress seemed confused as to what we meant when we said we ordered it hot.
