I've been here once now and I've got some mixed emotions about the place. I love dive bars, and this is a pretty good example. If you do not like smoking, DO NOT come here. There is a bar and restaurant side, however they are only divided by an imaginary line. The food is good and some dirt cheap prices. I got a good size NY strip with 5 large fried shrimp and 2 sides for $8.95. I can't think of anywhere else in York that has that kind of deal on good food. The drink prices are also very reasonable. For me, the downside of this bar is location. It is not in the worst part of the city, but it is the city nonetheless. This by nature, seems to bring in some somewhat sketchy clientele. They do close at midnight though, to cut down on any late night nuisances. If you are looking for a good meal and few drinks for cheap, check this place out. Just remember you will be surrounded in cigarette smoke as you eat. Make sure you also bring cash, as I am almost certain they only take cash.

Jackie B's is amazing. (when the good cook is on. Name Unknown.) How can you really beat the Jackie B's Special? A mysterious, yet delicious steak with two sides for $4.95? York urban legend declares the price has not changed since the 70's. I would have to agree. A draft beer is 90 cents. Mixed drinks are $1.70. Yes, its a little ghetto and grubby, and yes you might get mugged by the 'white tee shirt' gang on your way out, but I certainly think its worth a $5 steak! Oh yeah, and there are...TWO...count-em...TWO ladies rooms. yes. On a side note, I would recommend NOT getting any drink that has fruit in it. The bartender is nicknamed "Fruit Tits" and I cant even begin to describe why.

The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because they don't have free refills on fountain drinks. Visiting from out of state there is no where else you're gonna get a menu like this for the prices. Both times I enjoyed my food! Cheap alcohol is a plus!

Local spot serving locals with cheap prices and ****NO**** yappy kids....*I'M a FAN* Note....this is not a smoke free environment so if it bothers you go early before they pack 'em in to enjoy the cheap prices and a smoke free {kinda} area.

This place is only worth stars for several reasons: 1) Service is terrible.2) No one served if they have out-of-state license. This is not just for alcohol/beer; it means to eat-in as well. 3) Unclean bathrooms! To be honest, I've always adored Jackie B's for its good tasting, cheap, and prompt service. I was born and raised in York. This was the place to come even with children-its a restaurant first. Then, slowly, this place has phased out family atmosphere to only adults over 21 to just locals only. Since I've moved away,I could count on coming back to my hometown restaurant... Not any longer. Last visit, the waitress-someone who I've graduated with-told me that not only could I not place an order that I must leave since I had an OOS license...

I used to go here a lot. It was one of my favorites places to dine but I stopped going cause the service is sooooo terrible! Last time I was there the waitress didn't refill any of our drinks for our table of five so we asked for water and she says she'll be right there! Minutes pass and no water. After maybe 12 to 15 min pass we ask another waitress for water and he gives a a glass of warm water with no ice. I stopped dining in and started ordering take out but I'll soon stop doing that because the people taking your order on the phone are still rude. The food is very very cheap and taste really good but even that doesn't help when the staff is so rude!

Just had dinner here tonight. Was worried about service being a sat night, but had no issues. Food was excellent! Price was cheap. There were 4 of us, all had dinner, & several drinks, no dessert, $56.00!!!!!!! Smokey atmosphere, but was aware of it going in. Can't wait to eat here again.

Jackie B's is the best dive around and it's sad all the yuppie morons are dissing it. It's old, it's smoky, it's transitioned into more of a bar than a family restaurant (duh), it's small, they require ID... because it's a BAR! Oh, and they don't take bank cards. c'mon man. Big deal. That's Jackie B's. You don't go there for the fine dining, convenient location, and ambiance. So, yes the one star reviews are accurate. But, they were just pissed off and are trying to hurt their business. Good luck with that, the place is always full! I give it 5 stars because, it is as good as it gets in the Dive Bar category. The staff is really nice, the crowd is friendly. The food & drinks are CHEAP, which btw is why you go to Jackie Bs. NO loud annoying music that inhibits conversation. Nice TVs. I don't go often, maybe 4 times a year and the bar scene isn't my thing. But, hanging out with friends eating awesome food and drinkin some beer for mega-cheap. I'm down with that. You go, Jackie!

this place is simultaneously one of the shadiest places i've ever been and also one of the best. let me explain...this is a 'hood bar/restaurant. lots of people from the surrounding neighborhoods and work places come in here. there is a pretty good mix of blue collar/redneck/white trash/ghetto/pimps/all colors that come in here and i wouldn't really recommend for the ladies to go here unaccompanied. that said it is a throwback to another era. the absolute cheapest drinks (even cheaper than the social clubs like legion or elks). think $1 beers and $5 surf and turfs. and it is good -- not the best you've ever had-- but the price is what really makes it outstanding. service is usually good but it can get really busy and the servers can only do so much. the owner tries to keep things civil in here and that is the reason for the sometimes old fashioned and slightly arbitrary rules...gotta draw a line somewhere and jerry rules with an iron fist. notes: cash only and the whole place is smoking. plan accordingly.

Fond memories are sometimes very hard to erase from the human mind. Many years ago, being young and having no regard to the ill effects of overwhelming 2nd hand smoke and artery-clogging grease, I used to frequent Jackie B's. I remember the food as being tasty and the clientele interesting. Time passes and now I have a family. We were coming through York and everyone was hungry so I headed for this place - knowing that nobody besides myself had ever eaten here. The faded sign out front still proclaims "FAMILY RESTAURANT" in big letters. As we unloaded, an old WWII vet in a wheelchair says, "They don't allow kids in there". I point to the 'family' part of the sign and he just shrugs and zips away on his motorized device. Being quite hungry and able to smell the aroma of frying food, I walk inside to confirm this statement. A nice waitress says that because they chose to stay a smoking establishment no kids are allowed. I comment that this is 2011 and question the business sense of this. Her reply was that the staff is eager for the law to eventually truly eliminate smoking inside (it is now riddled with loopholes and exemptions ) and that when it does - kids will again be allowed. I wondered how many bridges this current policy has caused to be burnt and went back to my car. I took my family a few short miles away to Kelly's where I deposited the $60 that could have been spent at Jackie B's. A lung cancer doctor should setup a mobile clinic outside as the smoke was so thick you needed a machete to chop through it. Reading some other reviews and adding my latest first hand experience I wonder who is at the helm of this seemingly misguided ship. Thanks for nothing.

This place is great! You CANNOT beat the prices, anywhere!! And the food is actually pretty good. I always get the crabcakes, with 2 sides and a dinner roll, all for only $9.95. Drinks are cheap too, cheaper than anywhere I've ever been to be honest. Like previous reviews said, the place does get crowded, and is smoky, especially if you're in there at a real busy time. My advice, go early, beat the crowd, and beat the smoke. If you're there late, to drink, it also gets crowded, but overall a pretty friendly and diverse crowd. Some would say it's a little ghetto, but those people probably shouldn't be there anyway. I suggest at least checking the place out, give it a chance. It won't cost you much at all, and you may just find a diamond in the rough!

Cheap eats at this neighborhood bar make it a reasonable choice for a quick cheap lunch. Classical American food are the staples, as are cheap ($1 draft) beers and a smoky ambiance. There is some grime. Not for the shy, the terribly discriminating, or for those that demand clean cutlery all the time.

too bad the owner is a cheap piece of garbage... i used to like this place! i didnt even mind getting shot at in the parking lot. great location!

This place gets 5 stars because of its cheap food :). The quality of food is not the best but when you are looking for cheap food and cheap drinks this place is #1 in York. Place gets very loud in the bar but the employees have always been friendly and it is a fun atmosphere. Lots of tv's :)
