    OMG, I never had deep fried pizza before, it was soooo good! So tasty, so perfectly done. It is one of a kind delicious taste. I am day dreaming about coming back and tasting all the one flavors. There is also a wide variety of beers, flavors that I didn't even know existed. Service was excellent and very attentive, this is a must do eating experience.

    Welcome to 3 JACKS

    A great stop for a yummy burger. The burger was so delicious. My husband had a chicken sandwich and said it was very very good. He don't take any home it was the good. The cheese for the French fries was so good we could drink it!!! Price was ok $65 for two large sandwiches, fries with cheese, 3 beer, and tip. Really friendly service, family friendly bar and grill. The space is very bar feeling but there is booth seating and it is natural light which was a cool plus adding to the positive vibes. Only down side parking can be tricky.

    Vintage something something burger, fried, side salad.

    Great burgers, great attitude, great environment. I had the Vintage 3 Jacks and my wife had the Crystal Blue Persuasion. We split the side salad. There was no more talking once the food arrived. Everything was great and we ate like we were starving!!

    Excellent, excellent, excellent fries!  Definitely the highlight of the meal.

    Kind of a small place that is really more of a bar than a restaurant, although it has a relatively extensive menu. Many have complained about getting served by the bartender and getting lousy service but we had no problem. Granted, we went very early in the evening and it wasn't crowded but he was very nice and efficient. For starters, we had a deep fried Margherita pizza, which I just had to try. Apparently this is a Scranton/Wilkes Barre thing because I saw them everywhere. The dough was nice and fluffy and just a tad greasy but what do you want with fry-bread. The problem was the mozzarella slice on the top was not melted at all. Like you had to hang onto it with your finger to bite it off. Next we got the Rum Runner 2 burger. I was vacillating between medium rare and medium as that is what my wife prefers. The bartender assured me the "chef" would cook the medium perfectly and it would have a hint of pink. I also wanted to try both the fries and onion rings and this burger had the advantage of having a couple of onion rings on it. So, first the good news. The fries were exceptional. Hand-cut and cooked to perfection. Maybe a tad heavy on the salt but you can always brush that off. These fries are good enough to make a trip here worth it. Just get a beer and fries. Now, the downer. The burger didn't have a lick of pink in it. Gray as a battleship. The onion rings were way undercooked and I am very particular about my onion rings (went on a huge rant in my last review about them). When I pointed out the burger being overcooked once the bartender brought my bill he said - and I quote - "well, the meat keeps cooking after it comes to the table". Well, it was gray as gray can be when I got it (see photo). To his credit, he did take my wife's cocktail off the bill, which is nice, but it doesn't buy you a star. So, three stars based almost solely on the fries. The rest - meh.

    Beef and pork two meat burger was delicious

    While I was in Scranton recently I wanted to try something different. Read the reviews about 3 Jacks and based on the high ratings I decided to give it a try. Great decision. Walked right in on a beautiful day weather wise. Got to pick where we wanted to sit and was greeted with great service. The gentleman the was bartending also was our server and he did a great job guiding on what to try and what they were known for. Heard about the burgers from him and I decided to go with the beef and pork meat combo. Two words, JUICY and DELICIOUS! And couldn't leave without trying the deep fried pizza... where else would you get this? I'd never even heard of it. It was great, something different and tasty l. Try this place! Old world charm with great food.

    We were traveling through and chose this place at random using our GPS. Boy, are we glad we did! Kind of a small hometown bar feel. I suspect the folks at the bar are regulars. Staff is friendly, place is clean, and the burger options are impressive!! This is definitely going to be a regular stop when we make this trip. I'm dying to try the deep fried pizza! I highly recommend this place. You won't be sorry!

    Chicken bites and fries.
    Mike C.

    Stopped in on our way to Rochester. Ordered onion rings, two burgers and the chicken bites. Sat at the bar and bartender was immediately hospitable. Got us our drinks, gave an overview of the menu, gave us some time to review and took our orders. Onion rings came out quickly and were really good-the house made dip was good. Burgers came out not too far behind-cooked as ordered and really good. Chicken bites left a little to be desired, we ordered them with buffalo sauce. Note to readers-though all of the food was really good, everything had a lot of salt. I'm finding that at a lot of places we've eaten lately, so maybe it's just our taste buds, as we don't use a lot of salt at home. If ever in Scranton again, we would definitely return!

    Servers have a great personality. Don't worry about the outside, come for the food! Burger of the month is always interesting, and the fried pizza is always a good choice.

On a layover in Scranton I was walking around hungry, but was unsure of where to go to fix that. So I do what I always do, walk aimlessly. Just a few steps away from the University of Scranton, Chef Von & Mom sits. I entered and was immediately greeted with warm smiles, and beautiful faces. Mom was present, and gave me a brief history lesson. She informed me her family actually established the first black owned restaurant in Scranton. At that point I had heard enough, the smells coming from the kitchen had already decided for me. I asked Mom whats a popular dish I would enjoy, she suggested the BBQ sandwich with the fries. The order came out very quickly and piping hot. The BBQ was juicy, and the fries were seasoned to perfection. I loved the toasted bun, it held the moisture of the coleslaw well without getting soggy. The BBQ sauce was a nice compliment to the overall sandwich, nothing else was needed, this was indeed a hit. I appreciate the incredible customer service, but I love that this family has continued an incredible tradition of bringing Scranton quality food with no exceptions. Pro tip: After I left I looked this place up, the owners Chef Von & Mom were on "Next Level Chef" with Gordon Ramsey. Check out their episode, it originally aired on FOX.

The format was unusual in that it appeared to be a carry out place- but with a dining room attached. You order & pay- then go sit and wait for your meal to be served. The dining room is more comfortable than a typical pizza place with a family warmth. Our crew ordered chicken soup, burgers, pizza and a sub to go for out basketball player. We selected their "Old Forge" style pizza- iconic to the region. It didn't disappoint. The crust was light & crispy, the sauce in the sweet side and the blend of cheeses (including American cheese which is the hallmark, I'm told, of the style). It was delicious. I am a pizza 'freak'. I've enjoyed pizza from iconic restaurants in Naples, Rome, Chicago, New York, California, Detroit and now...Scranton! The burger people praised their 8oz. Burgers. The diner that enjoyed chicken soup (an accomplished cook) had high praise for the home made flavor and textures. When you add that we were treated like family members of this family owned establishment, our experience was exceptional. My only "complaints" are that: the check was far less than expected and (more of an opportunity than a complaint) I would have spent $$ for a nice red wine to complement my meal.

The meal experience there was genuinely impressive, especially with a menu that felt both comforting and creative. My table ordered a good variety of items to try, including a chicken salad, mushroom pizza, the blooming fries, a chicken ala vodka sandwich, and the chicken caprese sandwich. The chicken salad was fresh and well-balanced, not overly heavy and flavorful. The mushroom pizza was delicious! Earthy, rich, and had a nice crisp crust that held up well. The blooming fries were absolutely amazing, crispy on the outside and soft inside, I would describe it as yummy French onion soup tasting and with their boom boom sauce on top, it made them a favorite to be shared. The sandwiches were also strong across the board. The chicken ala vodka sandwich had a bold, savory profile, while the chicken caprese sandwich brought a lighter, fresher contrast with its combination of tomato, mozzarella, and chicken done right. Overall, everything was very satisfying, and without a doubt worth a visit. The quality across all these different dishes stayed consistently high. 100% recommended for anyone looking for a solid meal.

Service was fantastic, servers were super friendly and very forward. We were seated quickly and served very quickly... like it was so fast. The breakfast tacos were life! They had these delightfully season little potatoes in them with a creamy Sriracha sauce that was just tingling my taste buds. I would most definitely re-order that. However, there were so many other things I wanted to try on the menu, but unfortunately they don't do smaller portions, which is foolish in my opinion. You're bumping up your sales price on single diners, even a half order would be doable honestly! But I asked the waitress who said I had to order the whole item. That was sad, as I wasn't gonna eat four pieces of fruity pebbles French toast, all by myself. But the food and service was top quality for the area. It is however, in the weirdest location, but once you know where it is, you'll most definitely be coming back. This will be a must stop on my return in a few months. Thanks for the great meal!
