Very busy but plenty of tables and seating. I was seated within a minute after walking through the door. Shortly after that, I had the menu, my coffee and orange juice. My server was friendly, showed lots hospitality. And was Johnny on the spot. As usual, I forgot to take the picture of my breakfast before it was half eaten. But I think with that you get the idea that it’s a pretty full surveying. The hash browns weren’t anything fancy they were probably previously frozen, flatten down on the grill and browned. The bar was well-stocked with a myriad of types of alcohols. Even at 10:30 on a Saturday morning the bartender was pretty busy mixing up the early morning cocktails. It’s definitely w...

There's a reason why Jack's is busy during brunch hours on the weekends. Some of their bunch dishes are phenomenal. Our favorites are the corned beef hash $16 and might moose (country fried steak) $22. We also got calamari $15.50, garlic fries $8, Jack's omelette $16 and Mama Ellen's meatloaf $20. Those were all pretty good. The only bad dish was the garlic fries and were served to us cold. All of our entrees came out and they forgot it. It was probably sitting there at the kitchen and we had to ask about it. Fries are not good when it is cold.
This family-owned restaurant is a beloved choice for families, serving an impressive selection of pasta, salads, sandwiches, hummus, Mediterranean dishes, and dinner options. The bread is delectable, and the coffee is superb. There’s a lovely side area that looks like a covered patio, as well as a variety of seating arrangements, including tables and booths. It can be somewhat loud at times, which may pose difficulties for individuals with hearing impairments or those using hearing aids. Overall, the service is excellent.
LOVED this place so much that I was too distracted to take food photos! I appreciate that there is a separation between bar area (with multiple large flatscreens for sports) and the normal restaurant space, so the restaurant section was not overly loud. The ambiance is great and modern and all the staff were very friendly and attentive. I appreciate the size of the menu and that they offer brunch until 2pm. The food was fantastic and honestly amazing for the price considering the area. I would definitely return. Book a table now
The food was outstanding, the prices were reasonable, and the service was decent, with quick food preparation. However, this building has been home to numerous businesses over the years, and I can understand why. Its large pyramid-shaped roof and extensive overhangs contribute to a dark and dreary atmosphere inside. A renovation is needed, and I suggest considering an open roof design to allow more light in.
The food was exceptional and the service was impeccable. I truly loved the atmosphere of the restaurant. Although we only sampled breakfast dishes, they were delightful. The country fried steak had just the right amount of seasoning and wasn't overly battered, allowing the flavors to shine through. The pancakes were delicious, as was the corned beef hash.
Jack's consistently serves delicious food, ensuring a satisfying American meal every time. Their vegetarian dishes are also well-crafted and served in generous portions. The service is top-notch, and there's plenty of free parking available. Even though it can get busy, I've never found it necessary to make a reservation.
Charging $8.50 for just a single biscuit and some gravy feels a bit steep. However, the outstanding service certainly balanced things out. The atmosphere is quite inviting, and the food is fairly decent. I would suggest trying Jack's instead. Book a table now
Very upset and angry with my order! Everything are cold after i pick up my order!!!! lamb chop and steak are over cooked! Not delicious at all. Not going to order it next time!
The food and service are both quite good, but the noise level is quite high, making it difficult to have a conversation without needing to raise your voice.
