Superb! The chicken roulade was outstanding with a creamy gentle sauce over two fork tender chicken breasts. I asked for roasted vegetables instead of potatoes- sooo good and seasoned perfectly. My husband ordered the stuffed flounder with the roasted potatoes, all of which he recommends. We topped off the meal with the baclava with ice cream- Yummy! Nice atmosphere, clean, pleasant service. Worth the price. We’ll be back! Parking: Handy location near strip mall

I had the lamb sausage flatbread; my wife had the special salad, curry soup, and hummus to go. We were with a group of friends (8 total), and it was nearly an hour from the time we got there to the time the food started arriving.

For the main course, we enjoyed an eight-skewer tower featuring lamb, steak, shrimp, chicken, and salmon. To finish off the meal, we shared baklava with ice cream and a Nutella crêpe crème brûlée for dessert. Everything was exceptional, and it truly ranked among the best meals we've had in quite a while. The service was excellent as well. I remember our server being very attentive…

We all got different things (I had lamb rolls and Shepherd’s pie , and it was beautiful to see all of my friends enjoying their food so much. Mine was excellent, and if I happen to get back to Normal (ha ha! I’ll be going here again. The only complaint anyone had was that the food took a while, but it was SO worth the wait.

Aesthetics: The first thing you'll notice when you walk in is that the inside's decor is very appealing! Nice atmosphere with TV paintings and wall outlets by edge tables. The food is all extremely appealing in design, and is well plated. It feels much more formal inside than you would expect outside. Drinks: They do not serve alcohol here, but do allow you to bring in your own and they provide glasses free of charge. They have tea, coffee and other standard sodas. (I can't remember if it was Pepsi or Coke, sorry Appetizers: We've been here several times and have had most of their appetizers and they're all delicious. One thing that sets Jack's apart is that all their condiments are home made (including the ranch)! The Truffle Black Garlic Deviled Eggs are my favorite. Food: I highly recommend the Bison Burger if you're a fan of burgers, it's one of my favorites in town; the aioli sauce on top is perfect. My wife typically gets the Charcuterie Board, which is an assortment of meats, vegetables and cheeses served with bite sized pieces of naan bread. If you're on a date, the skewer tower is a good option if you both want to share something. They serve you a flaming tower of 5 skewers with sides around the base similar to the Characuterie Board, with some additional options. Dessert: We got the House-Made Baklava and it was fantastic. Conclusion: My wife and I have been coming since this place opened, Jack's Restaurant is one of the best restaurants in Normal and the chef owners really put a lot of effort into their food, and it shows. If you're a fan of Mediterranean, you would be doing yourself a disservice not to come here.

I had thought about what I wanted to order, but they assured me that I loved it as it was, and I absolutely did. sad I can't remember the name of the teller, but it was a chicken dish with spinach and asparagus. I totally recommend it. that is a must go to the restaurant for dinner.

Their menu interested us.Food was good. Not great, but definitely good. No complaints there.Service is really lacking. Our server seemed very....confused is the only word I can think of. It took quite awhile for him to come to our table for the first time and when he did he seemed confused. He warned us kitchen got slammed. We were in no hurry so didn't mind. We put in an appetizer dinner order. It took over 45 minutes to get our dinner. I'd rule it out to being his warning except that the 4some on one side of us 2some on the other who came in after us got their food before us. In fact, the 4some finished their dinner were paying the check before we got our dinner. After dinner, we ordered desserts. One came out (after another long wait) correctly. The other was a totally wrong order. We had to wait again for the second one to be corrected. Luckily, my wife and I planned to share the desserts it worked out.If you plan to eat here, bring a bottle of wine and patience.

Had seafood cioppino and was awesome good portion size and prepared great!! Really nice to have such array of different dishes than get elsewhere. Didn't serve alcohol but let you bring own in. Service pleasant but bit slow, but think that's because I arrived ahead of dinner crowd

I had the stuffed flounder and my wife had the 6 ounce filet mignon. We shared a dessert of chocolate mousse. The hummus was delicious. My stuffed flounder was one of the best restaurant meals I have ever eaten. I've dined at more expensive restaurants. I've dined at fancier restaurants. I've dined at more exclusive restaurants. Not a one of them can match Jack's stuffed flounder. My wife's filet mignon was excellent, according to her. The chocolate mousse was excellent. The service was very good. The atmosphere was warm and pleasant. I highly recommend Jack's restaurant in Normal, Illinois. If you do go there, order the stuffed flounder. It is amazing. I will be back.

The soup had the perfect balance of curry spice, and I’m a big fan of salads with goat cheese. If you haven’t been yet, definitely give this place a shot!

The lighting is soft, the music enjoyable, and the staff professional. The Mediterranean menu offers a mix of sophisticated dishes alongside familiar favorites like flatbreads, sandwiches, and gyros. You can't go wrong with the meat skewers and grilled vegetables. I adore this little hidden gem and appreciate that it's easy to walk in and get a table. That said, I want everyone to know how wonderful this family-owned restaurant is so it stays around for good! I love this place!

It featured a combination of greens, walnuts, raisins, pomegranate seeds, mandarin oranges, and goat cheese, all drizzled with a honey balsamic dressing. The service was outstanding, and the decor of the restaurant was stunning, creating an upscale ambiance. I truly enjoyed my visit and would highly recommend it for both lunch and dinner. Although I dined alone, I could easily see it being an ideal location for a romantic date as well. The women’s restroom was clean. I went on a Tuesday around 11:15 AM and was pleasantly surprised to find the restaurant nearly empty, although a large group did arrive just before I left. For a quieter dining experience, I suggest visiting on a Tuesday during the opening hours.

Recently, I visited with a special friend, and we had a delightful experience with the flavorful lamb rolls and the wood grill skewer platter, which featured lamb, chicken, and shrimp—all expertly seasoned. The seating area is cozy but somewhat small, so I recommend making reservations for special occasions. The service was a bit slow, likely due to having only two staff members working, but it’s best to arrive before peak dining hours (we got there before 6). Overall, it’s a lovely place with friendly staff and delicious kabobs, although it is a bit on the pricey side.
