Jackie O's Public House Restaurant

"I can't give Jackie O's Public House in Athens, Ohio, anything less than five stars! The service here is fantastic, and the quality of the food is consistently outstanding. The Appalachian chicken sandwich is a must-try – flavorful and satisfying. And let's talk about the pizza – it's truly top-notch, with a perfect blend of flavors. The ambiance is welcoming, and the staff goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Jackie O's is a culinary gem worth visiting. And I recently ordered 20 meals to go with no issues or missing items. Now that’s SERVICE!"

"I don’t know what happened. This used to be my favorite place in Athens, the menu changed and has just went down-hill. Tonight was the capper. I ordered $50 worth of food + tip. Prior to ordering the website told me 20-25 minutes, after ordering it told me 1 hour & 15 minutes. No problem, I can’t wait that long so I’ll cancel. I call to that and was told it was mistake and our food should be done within the original time frame. Awesome. Upon arrival to pick up my to-go items, the hostess is clueless about my order but then goes to the back, eventually finds it and off I go. I complete my 20 minute drive home to find a salad with no dressing and ramen with no broth. I’m truly just sad this is what’s happened here. Attached is the ramen that was brothless"

"I recently had the pleasure of dining at Jackie O's, and I must say, it was a fantastic experience. The highlight of my meal was the ramen soup, which was absolutely delicious. I opted for the ramen with kimchi, mushrooms, corn, carrots, and chili, and it was a flavor explosion in every bite. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the combination of ingredients created a perfect balance of textures and tastes. In addition to the ramen, I also had the pleasure of trying their ribeye, and it did not disappoint. Cooked to perfection, the ribeye was tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. It was a true delight for the taste buds and a testament to the culinary expertise of the chefs at Jackie O's. The ambiance of the restaurant was another aspect that stood out to me. The decor was a perfect blend of old-school charm and industrial aesthetics, creating a unique and inviting atmosphere. It was a place where you could relax and enjoy your meal while immersing yourself in the surroundings. The staff at Jackie O's were incredibly friendly and attentive. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and well taken care of. They were knowledgeable about the menu, offering recommendations and ensuring that every aspect of my dining experience was enjoyable. Overall, my experience at Jackie O's was exceptional. From the delicious ramen soup to the perfectly cooked ribeye, every dish was a testament to the culinary expertise of the chefs. The old-school and industrial decor added to the overall charm of the restaurant, and the attentive staff made me feel like a valued guest. I highly recommend Jackie O's to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience."

"I’ve been wanting to come here for a long time and finally made it out this way. As expected, the beers were great but I was surprised by the number of options on tap. Particularly the number of Hazy IPAs, I think they had like 8 of them so if that’s your thing definitely check them out. The real surprise for me was the quality of the food – it was delicious! As other reviewers have mentioned, you have to try the cheese curds, these things on a different level."

"Very satisfying experience. The atmosphere was very much like a local pub with nice wood finished seating. The lighting was perfect. The service was top-notch. Our server was helpful with our questions and made suggestions that improved our meal. The pork rind app was unique and tasty. I ordered the blackened salmon and what a great dish this was. The others enjoyed fish and chicken sandwiches and the desserts were over the top. Thanks Addy. You made our visit memorable."
