We waited there for a minute or so and being stared at in. The bartender said they're not serving because the cook is gone now. It was very uncomfortable being there.

It's very uncomfortable.

Their schedule is different. Jack's bar is everyday & Jack's grill is Tuesday to Saturday. I didnt know until I found it out at bar. Im fine with that. Pretty cool bar that have darts & pool. Bunch of TVs on the walls. Coolest part is: all tvs have captions which it is good because Deaf/HH or folks cant hear enough. Captions is on. Sweet!! Of course, they have bar looks w/ tables, stools & bar table. Thats what bar should look like. Love it. Food? Its bar food. Yo, theyre good. Ordered mozzarella sticks & large pizza. Very cheesy! Pizza is not bad but very cheesy! Price is pretty good affordable. Nice! Service is awesome. He (bartender) is totally friendly & easy going. Champ. Very good by giving attention to customers to make sure theyre good. Thats excellent service. Definitely will come back again for bar BUT will visit their grill restaurant soon.

The place was packed "good sign"! We walked in and it was very clean with tables and booths and an eat in bar. Our waitress was very nice and we explained that we weren't from around here and asked for a recommendation. She explained that most of their meat was from the owners farm and gave some very good recommendations but we had to try the daily special that was chicken and biscuits with gravy. So glad we did, it was delicious. That was after our appetizer of mozzarella sticks that were delicious and the bucket of marinara sauce. The portions were huge and we have enough food left over to eat atleast one or two more times. Everything was very reasonably priced. Appetizer, two specials and two drinks for $45 plus tip. Cannot beat that for food that good. Also, bathrooms were very clean.

Pleasantly surprised by the friendly greeting. Sat down and was visited by our server in less than a minute. Decent menu selections for lunch and dinner. Ordered appetizers and sandwich. Bacon wrapped shrimp skewer appetizer was delicious. Lunch was definitely worth the price. Large servings and tastes great. Service was relatively normal speed but very attentive and polite. Was happy we actually came in and had a great meal. Was only going to give 4 stars because initially thought the place needed to be updated a bit, but while sitting and looking around, everything was perfect for a quick and great meal.

Came in for a quick lunch and this place delivers! Located in what appeared to be an historic home,…read morethe menu has something for everyone. We ordered the smoked mac n cheese with brisket, a brisket taco, and the brisket sandwich with chips. The brisket was tender and delicious, the smoked mac was perfectly cooked -- the cavatappi pasta was al dente and the sauce was creamy without being too thick. The brisket sandwich was super tasty and filling. They sure did not skimp on the brisket! Loved the chopped apples in the coleslaw. A different take on it that made it refreshing. The brisket taco was OK -- good, but not amazing. I think it would have been better had it been in a corn tortilla rather than flour, and have the shredded cheese that was on it, melt. A condiments area would also be nice -- put out some of your housemade BBQ sauce, hot sauce, etc for those that like things hot and/or saucy. Service was friendly and efficient. Atmosphere: casual. Place order at the counter and they bring your food to you. Ample free street parking.

They did give us fries with gravy, but she was so quick to change it out. I was just a misunderstanding. It is clean in their small, but they have seating when you walk in in the back on the counter and then into a little room. The only thing I didn't like is when you walked out of the bathroom immediately to your left is a shelf so you can really hit your head on that so be careful. And you can only use cash. If you forget and have a card you have to go to the barbershop and it's $3.25 fee for the ATM there.

This review is long overdue. To start, having to walk past…read morebroken lighting and electrical the parking lot near the handicapped parking spot right up front should have tipped us off as to how the owner runs this place. The building itself is in disrepair, starting with the peeling paint and rotted wood on the deck. The floors inside are very soft and uneven so watch how you walk. The owner / hostess is living in some type of delusional world where she thinks she is running some type of high end 5 star restaurant !! She makes people wait at the door while she walks people to their table and explains how this is her place and tries her hand at being entertaining the whole while others are waiting to be seated. ( I know this because I am disabled and after standing there for 6 or 7 minutes with empty tables everywhere, I decided to sit down and had her tell me " it doesn't work like that around here and I would have to get up and get back in line and have her seat me " (TOLD HER THAT WAS NOT GOING TO EVER HAPPEN ) No one else is allowed to seat or cash anyone out so there is a nice little bottleneck of people standing around in the middle of the dining room right next to people at their tables and others trying to get to the soup /salad bar . Total chaos and bad decisions on both the customers part that decide to stay for this and the crazy owner who feels so good about herself that she needs to have her 8x10 glossy photo right next to the cash register !! I mean once I started paying attention to what was going on, it was quite comical. You think so highly of yourself that you feel your customers time is of no matter ? Not to mention, that they should be blessed to stand in line for no reason to have ONLY YOU seat them !!??? Those poor waitresses... you could tell they were embarrassed they were by how many times they apologized for not being able to cash them out and for having to wait for her when they could see her smiling and chatting away while they foolishly stood there. Now , about the food. No matter what the criticism, you will be told that it is award winning! Like we are too stupid to know when your ranch dressing is watered down or when you try the soup and there is nothing in the pot but a lot of broth and barely any meat or vegetables. And I swear that when I got a piece of the berry cake from the desserts cart home and opened the to go container it was 1/2 the size of the slices I saw there. I think that the only reason she is still in business is because THERE REALLY ISN'T ANYWHERE ELSE TO GO !! If even a few people read this and decide to drive a little further for dinner somewhere else.... I saved them their hard earned $ money $ Stephanie, get your shit together. And stop with all the excuses Ps..... we tipped our waitress well that night for having to deal with this woman's overinflated ego
