Jacks - Southwark

We ate there last night! It was all delicious. Its owner, a man from Albania, was super nice. Of all the restaurants we have eaten in the 5 days we have been in London, this was where I enjoyed the most. The servings are huge. Thanks for the good food!!!

As a party of six we loved our first visit to Jack’s. Booking was easy and the holding deposit process was both fair and easy too. Food here is great but go hungry because portions are big. And.. spicy if you want them to be! The range of drinks whether beers, wines or spirits is plentiful. A quietly quirky and hidden away gem is this place, a great find. Good music, great atmosphere and fun and friendly service meant I can’t wait to return.

I have been to Jack's about three times as a eat-in lunchtime customer and have always had a pleasant experience. The food is good and the atmosphere is generally good. Service had been a bit slow but the last time was pretty bad. Waited over an hour for our order but nothing came despite asking staff several times. I told one of the usual waitresses (Emilina or Emerilina) who was extremely rude and said we were told it would be a long wait (not true) and after I pointed out a number of tables who had arrived after us and had been served, she refused to acknowledge this and said that everyone had been there before us (i.e. more than 1 and 1/4 hours, yeah right) but we should just leave or whatever we wanted to do. One of her colleagues was very apologetic but admitted that we should have been served or told that there was an issue. Last experience was not pleasant and I refuse to come back!

Great food and lovely, professional staff who can't do enough. Highly recommend. They also double up as a fab venue. Can't praise them enough, super place!

I was looking for someplace within walking distance to the Globe theater where I could have a good vegan dinner beforehand and Jack's absolutely hit the spot! The taco deal was divine! (the seitan tacos are the best ones, just an FYI). Sitting there with a bookcase as my backdrop, and the evening air drifting inside was just perfect. I was also pleasantly surprised by the GREAT service I got. My waitress offered me a free cup of peppermint tea when I finished and I can't thank her enough. Absolutely loved it!
