    Food was visually appealing. But batter on meat choices was very salty. Not Good for all who visit their establishment!

    I moved to Waco 3 years ago and I was told that Jess is the best place for soul food. Well they told the truth. I've ordered here many times and definitely No disappointments. Great food with great service and wonderful customer service and an excellent environment.

    Decent food, yet refreshing that they don't serve pretense. It's soul food, meat and potatoes, hearty and delicious. You leave full and happy and they don't pretend they do anything else. This is local dining.
