Jim Foley had a dream – to create a staple restaurant in Naples, Florida backed by a scratch kitchen. He wanted everyone to feel at home as soon as they walked through the door.
A true community hub where regulars would encourage newcomers to “try the gator” and then buy them a drink. Jim longed for a place that would break down class barriers while offering delicious home cooked meals that any one could afford.
And that is exactly what Jim did!
In 1996, Jim Foley, along with his wife Shirley and daughter Cindy, turned a dream into reality. Cracklin’ Jacks officially opened to the public on Collier Blvd. and quickly became a town favorite.
Dishes like the catfish, fried chicken, and ribs brought people in the door. Things like the vittles, homemade pies, and other unique meals kept them coming back. A real fuse of locals and snow birds was starting to take place right before Jim’s eyes.
