Jack Allen's Kitchen

"We dropped in for Valentines early in the day. We always get the Queso, so good although it's seems the portions are getting smaller. She had the cheeseburger and I had the hatch burger. Both were good with their amazing fries. Burgers these days for 15 bucks seem a little high but the buns seem to make worth it. Overall a good experience. The bartender was spot on!"

"Got the catfish fingers appetizer and it was very good. Also ordered two cocktails. The cocktails are small. The margarita tasted good but had little alcohol. The other cocktail was better. I don't remember the name."

"An interesting blend of Tex-Mex & Southwestern style food. Our group ordered different items from around the menu, everyone enjoyed their selections. The quesadilla w barbacoa appetizer had a sweet hint to it, meat was tender and moist w caramelized onions. Not a huge sized one, more like medium. House made pimento cheese spread tasted exactly like pimento cheese LOL. 13 spiced chicken pasta looked pretty good, and judging by a clean plate, I bet my son really enjoyed it! I had the, pan seared mole verde shrimp tacos. Wasn't quite expecting the mole verde sauce as plentiful as it with pumpkin seeds, but it was pretty tasty. The black beans and rice seemed a little bland compared to all the other dishes, but I really prefer heavily seasoned food myself. Mom also had a wedge salad that was huge, a half a head of lettuce.! She couldn't eat but half, so she eagerly fit it in a to-go box. We were able to watch the, hostess prepare the "chalk board" for the daily specials and oh man is she one skilled craftsman with the paint pen.!!!! Definitely more upscale than a place where you order a #2 with sprite. Wait staff recommended some of their other favorites to try next time, looking forward to trying those items next visit.!"

"First visit today. Hopefully not my last, even though I am rarely in this part of the state. Party of 5 for lunch. I had the special of salmon cakes with fried green tomatoes, topped with red pepper and arugula and remoulade that was the best I've ever had. We shared the chunky layered guacamole queso, and OH my goodness!!! We devoured it. Prompt, friendly service. Other meals at the table were pork tenderloin medallions, fried pork chop (biggest I have ever seen), spicy chicken sandwich, and crab stuffed chicken. Portions were large and everyone loved their choices. I think you can't go wrong here!"

"We always love the food here. Everything we have tried has been amazing. All our servers have always been incredible. There is a wait depending on what day/time you plan on going. But the food is well worth it. I would recommend always trying whatever specials they have going on. Last time they had a skillet fried shrimp and coleslaw appetizer and it was delicious."
