Poor service & very small portions for the price. Bun on sandwich just an ordinary hamburger bun, not grilled. read more

Staff was nice. A little slow though. We had a good size group. And we had to wait a bit for some of them to show up. The waitress didn't notice when they came and we had to wait around just for them to order their drinks. After we ordered the food came out fairly quickly. But then again we had to wait around for drink refills. I ordered the stir fry forgetting that I don't typically like traditional stir fry's because of the veggies. Thankfully my husband just took over my meal and I took over his Mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was amazing. I would definitely come back just for that! read more

Great service and incredibly tasty food. The baked beef sandwich was a winner and according to my son the wings were "fire". Server was attentive and the food came out hot and fast. Would definitely recommend this place. read more

We went in when they had the wings special. The wings are awesome juicy and well sauced. The fries were great as well. We also got a small pizza to share, the all meat one and it was Awesome!!! read more

I got the tenderloin steak Philly to go....there is nothing tender about it. It was shaved top loin....tougher than shit..I also ordered the French onion soup....that was good as shit...but the meat on the sandwich, they might want give that to the pigs. Or staff lunch... super gross..... read more

When my wife and I were looking at moving into a house, we stumbled upon this restaurant. A year and half later, my credit card shows 20+ trips here. The food is excellent, the staff is friendly and the beer is cold. Normally, I'm partial to the chicken bacon ranch wraps but on Friday's, living in Wisconsin you know what must be done. Of course I'm talking about the fish fry. BB Jacks has some of the best perch around. Plus, if you can manage to come during lunch hours, it's $7.99! Quality food at super discounted prices...you can't lose! BB Jacks is one of my go tos if I'm not sure what I want for dinner as it has a menu anyone could find something at. Great hometown restaurant and I'm never disappointed. You won't regret ever coming here! read more

Food is good. Love the beer menu. Fast and friendly service. A little expensive and portions could be bigger.

Smaller portions and higher prices, on par for a lot of places and willing to pay them for good service. Service here has gotten terrible. Walk in and nobody makes eye contact for fear of haven to wait on you. Officially done with this place. read more

Absolutely love BB Jack's!! They have amazing food and drinks. My personal favorite is the bacon chicken ranch wrap and tater tots. They have good drink specials as well. The Old Fashioned's are a great deal on Fridays! The DeForest location has a small patio for when the weather is nice. It's a great spot for locals with great parking as well. Love BB Jack's! read more

We want to love this local place, but it has been hit or miss. Appetizer menu lacks some much needed variety. We have tried the nachos and found them sub par. Pizzas and wraps are good. They have a Monday night pizza special which is a great deal. Their Friday night fish fry is delicious, especially the walleye. They have a nice little outdoor patio which is open seasonally. Service has always been good, mostly young adults working and are very friendly. The bartenders are good and provide fast service at the bar. Might be worth the gamble if you chose your order wisely. read more

Really enjoyed their specialty pizza. Asked for it cooked well done and it was perfect. Good Bloody Mary as well

This place is really just ok. Food is ok. Prices are ok. People who work there are nice enough, especially the bartenders...very nice people, but man...service! It absutely infuriates me when waitstaff clearly need to be trained. Train them!!! read more

We were in town for a sports tournament and wanted something that wasn't a chain. The staff was amazing and the food was delicious.

I always go here and honestly the food is great and comes out fast even when the place is really busy. The workers are also pretty nice. You may see some bad reviews on this place but most of them are old. This place has evolved and I'm happy it's there. read more

We were staying at a hotel nearby BB Jack's, and saw it was close by and had options to chose from to please the whole family, (we all know how that can be) and it was an excellent decision! The food was absolutely amazing, the hardest part was deciding what to have! The menu has a little bit of everything, so it will please even those picky eaters. The staff is also very friendly and the vibe of the place is inviting, it also gives off one of those 'hometown feels' where everybody knows everybody. My husband already said next time we make a visit to the Dells, we will be sure to plan a stop at BB Jack's in Deforest. read more

Nice decor. Great service. They got very busy over lunchtime and Jessica, our server, did a great job! Great variety of tap beers and labeled well on their signage. Food was all good- tasty fresh salads, great Reuben sandwich, fish,bacon cheese burger. Generous portions and great variety of sides to choose from. Will definitely go back when we are in the area. You will NOT leave hungry! read more

After reading the glowing reviews on Facebook, I decided to make the short drive to DeForest and check out BB Jacks. After suffering through some service issues and some lackluster food, I learned two things: 1. Never trust Facebook for restaurant reviews (Didn't mean to cheat on you Yelp, it's just you were slow on the draw on getting this new restaurant listed.) 2. I will not be returning to BB Jack's anytime soon. My daughter had a late soccer game in Waunakee, so I decided to call in a carryout order for a pizza and a Reuben sandwich. I was told that my order would be ready in 15 to 20 minutes, just the amount of time I needed to drive from Waunakee to DeForest. Things were looking good... I arrive 15 minutes after I called, checked in at the bar and lo and behold, my pizza was ready to go. I paid for my order; the bartender brought my pizza to the bar and thanked me for my order. One small problem, no Reuben sandwich. When I asked the bartender about its status, I got a confused look and he scampered into the kitchen. He came out, told me it was not ready yet, and then tended to the other customers at the bar, which was packed on a Thursday evening. So I waited...and waited...and waited. And I watched my pizza get colder...and colder...and colder. One of the servers sitting at the bar told me the kitchen prepared the pizzas in a separate area from the rest of the food. Uh, OK, a useful fact if I ever get a question about BB Jack's kitchen operations during trivia night, but what I really want to know if when my sandwich will be ready. After ten minutes, another server saw me impatiently waiting by the bar and asked if I have been helped. I explained my situation and he checked with the kitchen to check on the status of the sandwich. He indicated it will be a couple of minutes and offers me a drink while I wait. The sandwich shows us thirteen minutes after my pizza and I hit the road. The good news first: the tater tots that accompanied my sandwich were well prepared - hot, crispy on the outside and not too greasy. The folks at BB Jacks have mad deep frying skills. I could have done without the powdered parmesan cheese sprinkled on top, but if that's their signature touch, so be it. To say my Reuben sandwich was dismal would be an understatement. The main ingredient of the BB Jacks Reuben is a thick layer of bland sauerkraut, which turned my sandwich into a soggy mess by the time I got it home. The bread was supermarket quality marble rye and needed to be cut thicker to hold up to the all the wet kraut. The sad layer of corned beef was excessively salty. The 1000 island dressing had the consistency of warm jello. It was a paint-by-the-numbers sandwich using institutional grade ingredients. The half pepperoni / half cheese pizza also was a bust. The crust was on the thin side and had no chew and little flavor. The sauce was applied unevenly, with some spots swimming in sauce and other with just a trace. The cheese had a strange filmy quality. I had a couple of pieces and it was so bad that it had me questioning my belief that there is no such thing as a bad slice of pizza. The capper was that my daughter found a hair on one of her slices. It was so bad that we didn't even keep the leftovers; the uneaten slices were dumped in the garbage with nary a complaint from my family. After my dismal experience, I wrote messaged the owner of the restaurant to express my disappointment with the quality of my experience. To their credit, I received a prompt response from the restaurant manager apologizing for the mix-up on my carryout order. I really hate to dole out one star ratings, but given the problems with my carryout order and the weak-ass food, the dreaded "Eek! Methinks not" description is apropos given my lackluster experience. read more

A co-worker and I came for lunch today and we were blown away by our burgers. Simple, solid ingredients and the meat was cooked exactly to our liking (rare for my friend, medium for me). This earned a spot in my Top 3 favorite burgers in the Madison area. I also love that they offered tater tots as a side - perfectly crisped with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top! YUM! read more

I try Rubens everywhere I go. This one is in the middle. Skimpy on the meat but it tasted good with bits of corned beef so it wasn't the sliced lunch meat some places try to pass off in their Rubens. The dressing was served in the side which I liked. For $9 you get a choice of tater tots, French fries, chips and salsa or pub chips. I was told to get the tots and they were very good. Crisp with a sprinkling of shredded Parmesan cheese. We started with the loaded tots as an appetizer but found it to be too much to eat with a sandwich so we took most of our lunch home, including 1/2 of the loaded tots. The lemonade was tasty and service was adequate. I would go back to try other items on the menu, including the vegetable roll-up when I get back on the wagon with a whole food plant based diet. read more

Been here three times. It's ok.....the servers and bartenders are all really young and like to converse in groups. It slows service down. I'm not a fan of the building. Last time we were there, it was cold and windy. We chose a seat as far from the front 2 doors (dumb design) as possible, next to a side door that had a sign that said "do not use". EVERYONE USED THIS DOOR!!! The manager even held it open for customers to come in and out. We complained, and our very young server apologized and offered to move us, be we had food and drinks and coats and appetizer plates everywhere. I probably won't be back because of this. I can't imagine a small restaurant needs 4 entrances and exits. Food is meh. read more

The pizza is great here along with all of the food. Reasonably priced lots of local beers on tap. However the service has gone from very good to below average which is disappointing because we like the food so much. read more

Just had their gyro burger and it really hit the spot. I'm also happy that they have tater tots as a side choice. We usually eat there for the half price pizza on Monday which is awesome too. They have 17 beers on tap along with mixed drinks. We'll be back. read more

Have dined here several times & always had good n hot meals. From pizza to broasted Chicken. Always felt welcomed. All employees had their masks in place & we enjoyed ourselves. read more

Moved to Deforest a year ago and was only able to eat at this place once. Last three times my wife and I have come nobody is greeting at the door so we grab a spot. Nobody acknowledges or brings menus over we give it 10-20 minutes then leave. Just attempted again on 5/19, grabbed a booth sat 20 minutes while staff walked around and chatted with each other. I'm done - save yourself the headache and go to North South up the street. read more

This was my first non-Madison outing since moving west. If every place after follows suite, it'll be a good thing. The staff here was the selling point, as the servers and bartenders all had great personality. They do a great job with showing Badger love on all the televisions around the bar, and just about every seat has a view. Beer selection is pretty great among the taps, and typical townie options are available in the cooler. Cocktail pricing is pretty decent. I don't think $6 is too much for an old fashioned, but that's just me I suppose. We've done pizzas, burgers, sandwiches and the fish fry here. Everything has been good. Nothing screams out to rush back, but we didn't have any complaints about anything we've eaten or drank. I'm perfectly happy to have a consistent middle ground near home, so we'll keep at it and see if things get better as we go. read more

Not impressed, had fish and not great, you get way too many tator tots as a side, husband got his clam chowder, I thought the waiter forgot and was coming back with mine, nope, finally returned with meal and had too ask for it read more

I've spoken to many people about their experiences at BB Jack's since their opening. Opinions fell equally on each side of the fence for months, however the good recently began to pull ahead of the bad. I thought that I would venture over yesterday to pick up an order to-go for a late lunch. I visited their website to peruse the menu and was happy to see its straightforward approach. I had a good idea of what to order given the recommendations from coworkers. An order consisting of a Reuben and fries with two additional large orders of tater tots (one for myself and the other for a coworker that seems to be craving them constantly) was going to take 15 to 20 minutes to prepare. Not a problem. I made a point to be picking up at the 20 minute mark to prevent the food from sitting too long. Walking in I had the feeling that I was walking into a dentist office rather than a restaurant. Something about the atmosphere just seemed...sterile. After asking for my order, I waited a couple of minutes for what I assumed to be fresh tots and fries. Not a problem. Less than five minutes after pickup I was ready to destroy my meal. When I opened the box I was immediately surprised at the size of my reuben. Each half was slightly larger than my wallet and the bread appeared to be pretty greasy. The nice size portion of fries looked good, but half of them were fairly soggy. Same went for the tater tots. On the plus side, the reuben wasn't terrible, and the fries/tots that were not soggy were VERY good. I just wish that there had been more of them. All in all...meh. read more

First off I'll say that I have gotten food to go from here many times and have never had a bad experience. The food is good and I like supporting local business. So after work today my fiancé and I decided to dine in. We get there and sat down inside and we're greeted initially within a few minutes and took our drink orders. After getting drinks, we did not see our waitress again for 15 minutes. When we did see her- we were ignored. So finally she takes our order and the food comes very fast. Wewere a little annoyed but the quick food service started to make up for it, until, we needed drinks, we were literally passed on by our waitress 4 times. read more

We went to BB Jack's last night (Tuesday) and ordered their cheeseburger pizza. It is always so tasty. It is so good to see hometown businesses doing well. read more

This is probably the worst service I have ever had anywhere! When we came in there were several high tops open. We took one. A waitress asked us how many in our party, to which we said five. She said she couldn't serve us at that table because it would be tight. My husband assured them we would make it work. But she insisted on putting us on a waiting list. A second waitress came and asked us same. She said she couldn't serve us because we were five. I asked if at least we could order a beer. She took our order. After bringing our drinks she asked us to vacate the table for a party of two. So we stood to the side. Then another waitress asked us to move from where we were standing because they were busy! If I could give a negative star I would. read more

Came to BB Jack's to celebrate my husband' birthday. It was a Friday night and we were lucky to get a table right away. We had prompt service right away to order our drinks and food. Ordered their cheese curds/fried cheese which is our go-to appetizer every time. So delicious! Our server made a point to ask which dipping sauce we wanted...we requested the ranch and marinara. It arrived with only the marinara...but that was quickly fixed. Our pizza came but our waitress never did to refill drinks. We finally were able to flag down a gentleman who I assumed was a manager and he took our next drink order. I wish young servers would get that the more you sell me (drinks, appetizers) the bigger our bill and the bigger your tip will be. Pizza was good but possibly with too much cheese?? Nice crust and a flavorful sauce. Next time we will be back for their fish fry as our neighbors had delicious looking fish fries. read more

My sons took my husband and I there to eat for Mothers Day...we all had a different kind of pizza and they all were really good! The waitress was really sweet and the atmosphere was nice...have tv's on to watch if you want and the bar was full of people but nobody was loud or distracting. The place is nice and clean too. They also gave me half off my pizza for Mothers Day which was really nice! Would recommend this place highly and we will be going back! Thanks everyone for such a great experience! SC read more

What a great place! The bar area was beautiful and seemed very inviting, however, since we were having lunch we sat at a table. Our waitress, April, was very attentive and kept our drink glasses topped off...always a plus. We started with fried pickles which were lightly battered with a cornmeal batter. Served with a spicy Ranch dressing- great appetizer! We all ordered something different and all decided we would try each other's meal when we returned. If you're not sure what to order, go with the incredible steak salad with house bleu cheese!!!! It was a HUGE salad but I couldn't stop eating until I finished off every piece of steak! Always love fresh ingredients! I will definitely be back when I return to the area! read more

5 Stars may seem a half-star over the top, but we've visited BB Jack's so many times over the past year since discovering it, and have yet to be disappointed. Many great beers on tap to choose from (thanks for bringing back the One Barrel Commuter!). Best pizza in the area, and well-worth the drive from Waunakee for us. I've also discovered their baked cod on Friday nights. Large, tender and delicious with drawn butter. Cheesy hash-brown casserole on the side is outstanding. Fried fish is also very good. This is now our favorite Friday fish anywhere. Oh, and extremely large glass of house Cabernet @ $4.50 is also a bargain and very tasty (says my wife!). read more

I'm giving it 3 stars cause it's pretty average Sometimes the service is not that great, we've had our orders messed up a couple times The price seems reasonable It would be so nice if they could get many more booths the tables leave with no space practical on top of other dinners read more

We just had a couple of Door County Clawhammer pilsners and the wonderful pot roast and mashed potatoes ... one of the Wednesday specials. So good. Came in a bowl with a scoop of potatoes surrounded by 4 scoops of so tender beef and covered with a perfect gravy. A slice of garlic bread to sop up the juices. I added the vegetable du jour pea pods. A very generous bowl for $2.50. Big enough for 2. Dinner was about $10. Also available for lunch for lunch price. A nice reasonable quantity. Loved it read more
