    Y'all, I love a good happy hour! I definitely love a good happy hour that has great service, yummy drinks and delicious food! Jack Allen's never disappoints! Jack Allen's has half off all appetizers and a dollar off all cocktails and wine. And Monday night has great happy hour deals. Anywho, I had the house red wine and we ordered several of the happy hour appetizers. My favorites were the chips and salsa and the barbacoa quesadilla. It was so delicious and I will be ordering that again. You'll have to try that quesadilla! Most of all, Our servers were the best. We had two, One was in training and you could not even tell. She did great! They were friendly, attentive and prompt. I'm looking forward to many more happy hours at Jack Allen's kitchen

    Dude what???? Who know a random chain restaurant would have one of the best enchiladas I have ever tasted? Was it because it was Barbacoa? Was it the mojito I had? Or the fact I was starving?? Who knows? What I do know is that it was delicious. Now, the rice and beans were chain restaurant vibes, but I was so pleasantly surprised by the enchiladas. Kaylee took great care of us and excited to go back next time I'm in Austin. We also combined the blueberry lemonade w a vodka shot, was yummy and then they made me a black cherry mojito, also yummy.

    Came here for the first time, and wasn't impressed. The place was nice and clean. The staff did a good job serving. I am not a fan of the dish I ordered. While I'd give it a 9 for appearance, the taste was more around 6.7. It just didn't do it for me. Not sure I'll return. Maybe if someone invites me.

    Came here to celebrate a kid's birthday and had a great experience. One child in our group has severe food allergies, and the staff handled it with incredible care and patience. The manager even came over to help us walk through the menu and recommend safe options, which we really appreciated. The food was excellent--from the crispy flatbread to the salmon and baked pasta with chicken. To top it off, the birthday boy got a surprise on-the-house cake and ice cream. Thoughtful service, great food, and a place we'd happily return to.

    Christmas dinner with friends. Server Courtney was superb. Guacamole and salsa appetizer was excellent. Entrees of Horseradish crusted salmon and redfish daily special were superb. Friends enjoyed the pimento cheese appetizer as well as the chicken fried pork chop and the crab cake daily special. Turning down the lights 2 levels was too much.

    Soup of the day - bowl portion

    This place is consistent good. And we frequent here on Fridays for our standard end of week fare. Best food happy hour in town. And service is always . We went here during their happy hour (3:30-6:30pm M-F) and stuck with their happy hour items and we got super full. Appetizer is 1/2 off and drinks are $1 off and I believe $4 off wine bottle. We always enjoy their barbacoa quesadilla and guac on the appetizers menu. Kids menu options are great too. Our son always loves their kids Mac & cheese but today he got cheese quesadilla. Portion is small but would be perfect if yours doesn't eat much. It comes with a side of fries or fruits and includes a drink.

    Ruby red trout

    Excellent brunch menu! I made a reservation and got a great booth on the side with a great view but still quiet enough to hear my dining partner. We started with the guacamole and chips and it was fantastic. They don't skimp on the amount or put annoying strips of lettuce underneath to add volume. It was the perfect start to the day. We all settled on the same dish: the ruby red trout. I would say it's the best thing on the menu; flavorful, plenty, and affordable. For dessert, we tried the apple crumble with ice cream. Though I normally don't crave apple desserts, the apple crumble was salty sweet and the ice cream was my favorite because it tasted homemade. Jack Allen's is a favorite of mine but this was my first brunch there and my out of town guest loved it.

    Bang Bang Shrimp special
    Kerry S.

    Stopped in for a late lunch and was not disappointed. I ordered the special of bang bang shrimp bowl with Asian slaw and fried rice= deliciousness. Bartender, Lisa, was on point with great friendly service, energy and made the Tito's sage and grapefruit cocktail with a splash of soda, very good! I will be back.

    We've been coming to Jack Allen's for about a year now, and Amanda has consistently been our favorite waitress. Her service is always friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which is why we specifically request her whenever we visit. She always makes sure everything is perfect and makes the whole dining experience feel special. Amanda is a big reason we keep coming back!

    Pancakes!!
    Ryan F.

    You can't go wrong by visiting Jack Allens. All items are curated to burst flavors of goodness in every bite. Today I had the tacos and pancakes. Though two extremes, both very delicious. Service was perfect and your food comes out in a timely manner and as always a memorable meal.

    This place is not worth the hype. Everything we ordered from the appetizers to the entrees was either bad or "meh." I think they're trying to do too much, and they're not "good" at anything. The ingredients seem good, but the flavors are off. For my entree, I had the Stewed Chicken Tinga Tacos, and they were just okay. I don't think I'll be back.

    Poblano chicken soup
    Rebecca G.

    I really enjoyed my time here! Food was excellent! Especially the pimento cheese! This is a MUST try! I'm pretty picky when it comes to my pimento cheese, I loved my mother's and I rarely come across someone else's recipe that I like! Service was great! Our waitress was kind, friendly and full of suggestions. The restaurant was full, but quiet and also clean! I had the soup of the day, Poblano chicken was tasted amazing! Homemade and fresh! We tried the biscuits and while we did like them, they were a little too heavy. The kids cheeseburger was very tasty and the fries were nice and crispy on the outside! Also had the Barbados enchiladas and enjoyed every bite! The Migas were also enjoyed! I had the mango habanero margarita, the bartender was a heavy pourer and made this drink EXACTLY the way I like it! Jack Allen's Kitchen did not disappoint and we can wait to go back!

    Taco Apetizer
    Lauren D.

    This place was quite tasty! We were seated right when we walked in and were served by a girl who was filling in for our very busy server. We started off with water and then our real server greeted us. The ambiance was great, perfect music volume and songs. Our server made suggestions I was not so crazy about aka Fish and I decided not to get that. Instead, we ordered the steak queso fajitas and some appetizers and they were great!

    Is their pet friendly patio open this week?

    They have a narrow outdoor area but unsure if they allow pets.

    Do they still have happy hour specials?

    Yes, their apps are half off and I believe the drinks are $1 less.

    Any gluten free dishes?

    They do. My friend that is GF usually orders salmon. Not sure if they have more than one salmon dish but the one she gets is delicious so if you like salmon you should be good to go!

When you have two drinkers in the house, you frequent a local liquor store. This Twin Liquor is my usual go to store. They have a large varied selection of all of our favorites. They have BF's Patron at a reasonable price. My pick is the sake and vodka which there are many brands to choose from. For cooking purpose, they have brandy, rum, wines, and sherry. I believe they still give a discount if you buy 6 or more bottles of wine. This is helpful when I stock up on wines. The nice man behind the counter sees me and goes in the back to bring empty boxes to load my goodies. If it's not busy, he even helps carry them to my car. If I said I wouldn't be back, I'd be lying big time.

It's varietal includes Pinotage, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and it's smoky flavor pairs well with Gouda and/or salmon. Oh yeah back to Twin Liquors. Twin Liquors is the only place I have been able to find this wine since Grapevine closed and only a few Twin Liquors carry it at any given time. After a long day at work and quick stop for dinner yesterday, I stopped at this Twin Liquors. Knowing that last week I bought the last bottle on the shelf I eagerly made my way to where the South African wines are. The employee laughed and said "well you didn't think we wouldn't restock it for you." I love this location because it is never too busy, the employees always greet each customer and are helpful. And they keep my therapy in a bottle always stocked :)

Aric kept checking on us to make sure we were okay and was quite accomodating and didn't mind us ladies being moved into an inside table. Plus, I didn't want to deal with the typical muggy weather anymore. I ordered a frozen Benny Bellini - Peach Bellini to help support a worker who has cancer. The food was surprisingly served fast despite the restaurant focusing mainly on their wedding party guests from their patio. For dinner, I shared bruschetta. Ordered bruschetta for my dinner. Italian Sausage, Roasted Red Pepper, and Goat Cheese Bruschetta; For my 2nd bruschetta: Apple, Fig, Chutney & Brie Bruschetta. My third Bruschetta was House Smoked Salmon and Herbed Cream Cheese Bruschetta. Thankfully, they DON'T skimp out on their ingredients on top of their bruschetta!! Besides the bruschetta, my friend Tina offered me a slice of her Mediterranean Pizza. Thanks so much for the top notch quality food and service!!! Also, thanks so much for checking me into my reservation at Open Table so I can ensure I get more points to maintain my status.

My friends had bruschetta, tuna salad, and grilled cheese with soup. We were able to walk in and easily get a table for 4 as it wasn't too busy. However, it started to fill up and it seemed like our server had many other tables because we wouldn't see her for a while and had to wait a bit for some follow up items. Overall a consistent, good time, and they can do separate checks which is great for a party of friends ordering different things!
