What Richard Morris dislikes about Jack's:

I recently stopped by for a beer, and honestly, it was nothing to write home about. I don’t mind that, but I was quite taken aback when I noticed that they help themselves to their own tips. It's important to be aware of the bartenders and keep an eye on your money. It's disappointing when they feel entitled to take advantage. Just a heads-up to others: be cautious. View all feedback.

I highly recommend avoiding this establishment. Although it's listed on DoorDash, it's best to stay away. They tend to cancel orders 30-40 minutes after accepting them, yet still charge your payment. The food quality matches their poor management. Overall, this place is subpar and not worth your money.

A friend brought dinner from this restaurant, but it had an odd chemical flavor that was noticeable in every dish. The sauce also tasted burnt. It seems we may have picked a bad day to try this place, but I'm not inclined to pay for a meal here again. In today's market, restaurants must offer a solid takeout experience; otherwise, they might as well consider closing their doors.

As a direct descendant of the restaurant's original owner, I can only speak highly of Jack's. The food is outstanding, and the bartenders are both skilled and welcoming. I strongly encourage you to visit!

I really enjoy the atmosphere at Jack's! The food tastes amazing, and the staff is incredibly welcoming. We visit nearly every week for the open mic night.

Friend brought dinner over and it had a chemical taste to it. It was in each container. Sauce tasted scorched. I am sure we got them on a bad day but I wouldn't pay to eat there. These days they have to be able to do a good togo or might as well hang it up.
