Reviews
"Met my expectations, food was delicious, and service was beyond excellent (shout out to the lovely bartender who created a delicious mocktail for me!). Lively, albeit a little loud. Loved the neighborhood feel to it."
"Having been to two other locations, they’re all pretty much the same. The appetizers are good but everything else is pretty mediocre. The apps are same for all meals so would just stick to that and drinks. We got zucchini chips, cauliflower and eggplant for apps. I tried to green shakashuka which wasn’t very flavorful and came out cold. We also tried the steak sandwich and the meat was a bit too tough and dry for my liking."
"Similar to other recent reviews, I thought this location was pretty good. The food is just as it always is at their other locations, same menu and generally the same level of quality and quantity. The ambience is different from their main location as it is less lively/busy. That’s a plus since it was not hard to grab a table at all. Service is quick and the staff were super kind and friendly. Biggest qualm for me was that there were a ton of flies indoors. Overall, not bad."
"One of the newer locations.. you can easily get a table here vs the OG locations of Jack’s wife Freda. The seating is alright..!! The ambience is nice and the service is great. The zucchini chips are my fav.. they have great cocktails, i always love the portions sizes (just right for humans)..overall if you are a tourist or a local this location is v convenient.. it has the jack’s vibe overall probably needs a bit more work to make it similar to other ones."
