Jackson Soul Food

The original Jackson Soul Food was established 64 years ago in St. John’s Missionary Baptist Church on NW Second Avenue. Owner Johnny Mae Johnson passed the restaurant to his brother, Demas, and wife, Jesse E. Jackson, who in recent years handed it to their daughters. They have operated the current (and fourth) incarnation on a neat stretch of NW Third Avenue that’s been revived with help from the Overtown Community Redevelopment Agency.
