Jackson Soul Food

Jackson Soul Food, the Overtown institution that has been drawing audiences since long before Marcus Samuelsson arrived in town, must be mentioned in any discussion about Black-owned eateries in Miami. Jackson is still a straightforward neighborhood restaurant where you can stroll in and eat some of the best fried catfish, fried conch, and ribs in the city, despite moving into more modern digs. A unique cross-section of lifelong residents of Overtown and lunching downtown businesspeople makes up the population, especially during lunch. And Jackson has remained consistent despite how quickly the area surrounding it is changing.

With a second location on South Beach, where you can also enjoy hearty breakfast plates of eggs and grits and griddled potatoes for days, this Overtown institution is still serving up the large platters of soul food that have made it a favorite since 1946. Jackson Soul Food has a restaurant in Opa-locka in addition to Overtown, and both serve up classic dishes including fried catfish, smothered wings, oxtail, meatloaf, and ribs. With sides like candied yams, fried okra, collard greens, and macaroni and cheese, Jacksons lives up to the reputation of being a true soul-food establishment.
