    Bourbon Bacon Jam Burger bison
    Greg S.

    202507011330 Seating with no waiting at this time of day. Doesn't look like much from the outside, but upon entering it really opens up. Large dining area. Parking might be tricky depending on when you come. You can park along busy Broadstreet or drive around back. It's straight across the street from the Historic Courthouse. Friendly service, good, tasty food. The Bourbon, bacon, bbq bison burger is good (but a little dry)with the crunchy fries. Full bar & seating, outside seating right along busy street also available. Sports bar atmosphere, colorful ductwork decorations, same for ceiling tile in bathroom, bumper sticker decals cover tables.

    We arrived to this bar at 10pm. Most locations in the area are closed around this time, so it was great that we had a food option. The wings were really good. A bit too crispy and I would have loved more sauce, but still really good. The service was quick and the bartenders were very kind.

    Hubby and I were driving through and decided to stop in for dinner. Without reservations we were…read moreseated quickly. All the staff were so friendly, especially Bri our server, she was great! We sat down to a "Cajun night" menu to which I inquired if that's like a weekly thing or what and was explained that they will occasionally do various themes and recently had done Italian. They had Cajun music playing and a full Cajun menu, it felt like we were in Louisiana which I am very familiar with, I have roots there. I think having themed nights is a very clever way to bring a variety of fine dining options to a small town that doesn't have a lot of restaurant options. Fully support! Love the concept! Having had frog legs before I didn't feel the need to explore again so didn't choose those. I instead opted for some more cozy comforts such as the Crawfish étouffée and Duck Andouille Gumbo. Both were delicious, my only gripe would be the presentation was quite lacking. Traditionally, for either of those dishes, the rice is served from a cup as a topper, not the gumbo or étouffée spooned atop the rice. But the flavor hit it out of the park. Hubby ordered the Blackened Redfish and this is where the chef's talents shine. This was the winning dish of the evening. Hubby hates okra, I love it, and I'd never had it grilled before though and I'll be using that cooking technique in the future, especially since hubby actually likes okra finally. But I don't want to focus on okra for a fish dish. The blackened redfish was so well seasoned and perfectly flaky, the pinto beans had great flavor as well. We finished our meal out with the beignets and coffees (hubby espresso and me a latte) which paired perfectly with the beignets. We ate them politely with the fork and knife provided though if you ain't covered in powdered sugar or accidentally proofing powdered sugar across the table when you take a bite are you even doing it right? ;) but they were delicious, everything was. Again the only suggestion I have is to consider presentation. The dishes looked a bit bland for the amount of flavor they packed. A slice of that grilled okra on top of my Gumbo or just anything simple would've gone a long way. Overall I'll give 5 stars. I have no complaints. The restaurant's vibe and decor are great, service was great, food was delicious. We had a great night!

Then when she finally comes and you ask for the menu she will disappear for 20 minutes. I saw her sitting at the table with other patrons while I'm waiting on the menu. I had to call her out because what's going on in her mind to just stop working while I'm waiting to order food/drink. As I said each visit got worse with her just disappearing before an order was placed. 8/14, was by far the worst night ever with her. We waited 20 mins in the outside sitting area before I went inside to find our waitress. And guess who it is? Yep, the same one. I gave her my food order at 10:20 It didn't get put in. She came to our table at 10:30 with a spiel on a new drink menu. We waiting 20 mins for that but still I assumed she had place the food order. Next comes out drink order finally. I ordered a peach tea. My friend orders a rum/ coke. After 20-30 mins we get our drinks. She actually fucked that up too. I received a crab crown drink while my friend got a cherry cola with rum. Like how did you f that up? The manager came out outside and we told her. She shook her head and said , "I don't know what's wrong with her tonight. It's worse than ever'. Finally got our drinks from the manager. The waitress comes back and say what did y'all order? I said boneless lemon pepper wings. My friend said fries. She ASKS do you want crinkle or straight? He orders straight. I wonder why wasn't the order for the wings not placed a long time ago at 10:20. I kid you not, I got my wings(20 piece) at 11:43. Now I'm asking where are the fries. Oh they're coming. 10 freaking mins later she brings us crinkle fries. I said, we asked for straight. She responded, oh I won't charge you for them. My friend was so disgusted by the whole night that he got up and went to the car. I got the bill and guess what, she indeed charged us for the fries. I paid the exact total and left. How does Legends have such a terrible waitress? Oh, at one point she came to our table while taking the drink order and was vaping. Not professional at all! I will never go to Legends again!

Upon entering, I was immediately struck by the genuinely warm greeting from the staff and the inviting, vibrant atmosphere within. The interior design skillfully balanced comfort with a dynamic energy, enhanced by multiple strategically placed screens that contributed to the lively ambiance without being intrusive. My server, in particular, delivered exceptional service, demonstrating remarkable attentiveness and professionalism throughout my entire meal. For my main course, I selected the pork chop special, which was expertly presented alongside a finely prepared potato salad and a crisp, refreshing side salad. The pork chop itself was cooked to an exquisite perfection, achieving an ideal tenderness and succulent flavor. A true highlight was the innovative accompaniment served with the dish. This unique sauce or relish offered a harmonious blend of tangy and fresh profiles, coupled with a delightful crisp texture, further elevated by perfectly rendered bacon bits that provided an ideal crunchy counterpoint and enhanced the overall culinary experience. Based on this superb dining experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Jack's Public House to anyone seeking a high-quality meal in the Braselton area. I anticipate making return visits during my remaining time here and eagerly look forward to future opportunities to dine at this exceptional establishment. Richard Biancardi

The waiter was clearly in a poor mood and seemed frustrated to be there. After taking our order, our waiter did not come back to check on us again unless we specifically called his attention to us, which I finally did after almost thirty minutes. I asked how much longer our FIRST plate of the all you can eat deal would be out. The waiter disappeared again and left the empty cups without offering a refill. Five minutes later the food comes out, I had started with fried shrimp and my friend with garlic Parmesan boneless wings. The waiter asked "can I get you some extra napkins or extra silverware?" despite having not given us napkins or silverware to start with. We asked for silverware and he left, once again leaving empty cups. My first bite was met with a lukewarm breading and a patch of ice cold shrimp in the center. My friends garlic Parmesan wings had miraculously been replaced by buffalo. I tried another shrimp and found it to be just above room temperature. We both decided to eat what was in front of us due to having an hour drive home each and not wanting to wait another 30 minutes. The manager saw that we didn't appear satisfied and came by to tell us that she had discounted the meal to account for the issue. The manager and waiter both walked away, AGAIN leaving empty drink cups. Abandoning any hope of my waiter or the manager making the bare minimum effort to simply refill our drinks, I walked the empty cups to the bar to get my own refills. I asked for the check and the waiter brought it to me along with the correct wings for my friends order in a to-go box, which is the closest thing to customer service we got that night. I opened the check to find a $5 discount on our $41 ticket. I already had my card out but the waiter immediately walked away. Ten minutes later he returned with the receipts. I had to flag him down AGAIN to get a pen to sign the receipts. Ultimately, the staff at this location all appear frustrated and angry just being there, and it shows in their actions and their words. During our visit I overheard staff members half-heartedly apologize to every table around us, whether it be the wait time, cold food, or an order being wrong (I guess we just hit the trifecta). The service at this restaurant is non-existent, the quality is standards are lower than a RaceTrac pizza. If you are looking for a decent meal, go across the street to the QuikTrip gas station and see what you can find in the trash can. You'll get a better meal, and infinitely better service.
