CRACKLIN' JACKS – American
Out on 39th Street SW, in the eastern reaches of Collier County near Alligator Alley, Cracklin' Jacks serves what it calls a taste of the Everglades. Gator bites are the long-standing house staple; so are frog legs in clarified butter, fried green tomatoes, chicken gizzards and livers under country white gravy, and catfish nuggets battered in Weisenberger Mills cornmeal. Entrees come with vittles: collard greens, white beans, dirty rice, stewed okra and tomatoes. There is a hand-stuffed gator dog and a lump blue crab cake. Diners keep returning for the portions and the outdoor tiki. Live entertainment runs most weeks.
