jackie's ham & eggs

portions are ridiculous. ordered thepancakesand couldn't even make a dent. wife ordered the corned beef hash. it was a little over cooked but not dry. the biscuit we shared, it was airy with good flavor.

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, thepancakesare nearly burned. and the underside were burned 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.

it really is bigger in tx at ham & eggs!. we should have taken a picture of the plates. thepancakeswere huge - most folks left 3/4 of their stack on the plate when they left. my son's mission was to finish his two 12" (at least) buckwheat cakes and he came close. the biscuits are about the size of large grapefruits and are pretty tasty to be so big - you get 2 with your biscuit and gravy order. i had eggs with bacon, home fries, and a biscuit and gravy. all of it was good. there are 'normal' sized offerings, as well, for those of us who choose not to leave in misery. the owner & staff were very friendly - we enjoyed this place and will return next time we're in town.

best breakfast around. hugepancakestoo.

did not need to eat again til late. i'm a big fan of pancakes/flapjacks and when my order arrived i was amazed.
lucky for my digestive system i decided on not ordering as much as i might do since what i had did me in for most of the rest of the day. if i'd not given any thought to it i may have had the cakes and biscuits with gravy, a combination that may have left me immobile for some time.
the staff were scary in how well they handled the customers and they treated me very well despite the fact i'm 340lbs and was dressed in black leather.
thepancakeswere quite good and the potatoes were tasty.
glad for the recommendation

not for light eaters.. atmosphere - the usual "hole in the wall" setup, which works very well for ham & eggs. coming in and taking a seat *or finding one on weekends*, brings about comforting thoughts. even though the dining room is well-traveled, everything is kept up and clean. 9 out of 10

service - waitstaff is hardworking, accurate with orders, and very kind. i get the feeling that they don't ask twice about orders too often. incredible given their volume. 10 out of 10.

food - portion control is a foreign concept here, be prepared to bring food home. quality couldn't be higher.pancakesare fluffy and flavorful, omelettes are an abundance of things besides eggs and cheese *a rarity in most breakfast spots*. don't ever expect to go hungry here. 10 out of 10.

value - not inexpensive compared to chains, but given the amount of food you receive and the quality of said food, you won't feel ripped off. they take cash or the standard mastercard/visa. please tip your waitstaff for quality service. 8.5 out of 10

overall - if you are sick of ihop and denny's, haven't eaten in a week, or simply want very good breakfast food in large portions, then i highly recommend ham & eggs to you.

awesome breakfast, but not the same without jackie!. i'm so glad this place is still open after jackie passed away in 2007. it's not the same without her, though. by the way, to all you sobs who did not attend her funeral - shame on you. i was out of town when it all happened, but i ran into my friend dale wamstad at dfw airport, and we talked about her, and he told me he saw only a small handful of people at the service. she was legendary, and again, shame on the dfw restaurant community and those who did not show up at her memorial service, and thank you dale wamstad, a great friend of jackie's and mine, who did attend the service. god bless you, dale!

there was just something about eating those delicious, enormouspancakesor colossal biscuits and gravy, and then going over to say hello to her. she was a pistol!
i highly recommend the breakfast potatoes with the biscuits and gravy. thepancakesare amazing as well, and so are the ham 'n eggs! you will not leave on an empty stomach - guaranteed! the portions could feed 2-3 people.

huge portions. i was visiting my father in dallas one weekend and he brought me here. i got the waffle which was pretty good, he ordered the pancakes. thepancakeswere huge bigger than the plate they were served on. i don't think my father ate more than 1/8 of what they served him and he was stuffed.
