Food is either very good or just okay. Food service is always good. I've eaten there at least 6 times now. Lunch special portions are painfully small and not worth the price. The issue here is with seating. On multiple occasions upon arrival, we perused the room for empty booths and requested seating at any of them. Each time, 4 to 5 booths were empty; however, the host seated us near the restrooms or in the center of the room - noisiest place possible. After requesting a booth, was told, "no, those are reserved". Huh? That was clearly untrue as nobody arrived to sit there during our stay. Why the falsehood and why is this repeated over and over? The last young lady/host acted indignant that I dared request at all. After seating us, she turned on her heel with a sigh and stuck-up nose. Don't appreciate the attitude. Don't appreciate the lie. What's the deal with the booths? Would rather have contacted Jack Allen's directly rather than leave a review; however, no customer service contacts available on their website. Odd. read more

Checked out this new location in Hutto for happy hour at the bar. Ryan took great care of us. We enjoyed a couple of half priced appetizers and $1 off drinks. Service was excellent & very friendly and the food and drinks were spot on. This new location is gorgeous & worth a little extra drive. Check it out! read more

Amazing customer service. Food is very favorable. I love the scenery around the area. Such a beautiful area in general.

Everything and everyone, including the other patrons, was perfect. The food was delicious, including the homemade chips, served when we were seated. We will be back! read more

Worst service ever. Way overpriced for really crappy food. Waitress was rude and unhelpful.

Last Friday, my other half, Selma and I had a 7pm reservation for two at the Jack Allen's in Hutto. We've been loyal customers of Jack Allen's for over 10 years and have always enjoyed great food and service across their locations, until this visit. We were seated at a tiny 2-person table right next to the patio door. The constant foot traffic, opening and closing of the door, and fear of getting bumped in the back made the table very uncomfortable. We politely asked if we could move to the next table over (two 2-person tables pushed together for a future party of four). The staff said they couldn't separate or rearranged those tables and offered us only two options: squeeze together on one side of our current table to avoid the swinging door or be added to the end of the waitlist with a 35-minute estimated wait. There was not an option to give this table to the next party of 2, and wait for the following 2 party table to become available. We felt dismissed, so we left without eating. We ended up at another restaurant nearby and had a wonderful meal. Selma followed up with an email to the Hutto location that same night explaining what happened and asking if this is standard practice. We never received a response. If you're a party of two visiting during peak times, I'd recommend skipping the Hutto location and heading to the Round Rock one instead. We've had hundreds of excellent experiences at the Round Rock location over the years. read more

Met with a friend for HH. We sat at the bar. We only had one drink because the bartender never asked if we wanted another round. We had to ask for silverware and small plates for the appetizer we shared. We were never given water or the pimento cheese and flat bread. The service was not good at all. read more

Stopped by here after church for brunch and we were impressed. New, clean and very nice inside. Garage parking within walking distance. Cute pond outside with view from outside dining area. Service was stellar. Our Migas and teas were delicious! We will definitely keep visiting this location and happy to have one closer to home. Lots of menu options with farm to table recipes. read more

Last time we went to Jack Allen's was Mothers Day, (as I said back in my June review, I don't get out much)! This time, I took my son out to thank him for being so helpful to me. Ray was our wait person and he was amazing. He was serving several large groups but he still managed to stop by many times to see if we needed anything, and he never forgot...whatever we wanted he brought it right away! Our steaks were AMAZING. I don't remember the last time I had a steak and wow...our steaks were just perfect. What I appreciated so much was that the staff asked us to cut open the steak to make sure it was prepared as ordered. It was, and what a novel idea. Never has anyone ask me to check my steak BEFORE I dug into it or more often, asked when dinner was over. Thank you. From reservation to serve to the food...and LOOK OUT for that flourless tarte...OH MY GOD. It was beyond delish! read more

The food was incredible! We got the Chicken Fried Steak and Chicken - both were fantastic and jalapeño gravy was amazing. Our wives got the steak and cheese burger and sweet potato fries and loved them as well. We tried three desserts - the Blonde Brownie Pie ala mode was the absolute best. Service was fantastic and management came around to check on everything. HIGHLY recommend! read more

The food is always amazing! The staff is very knowledgeable of their menu and the atmosphere is very homey yet romantic. This location is new and I love the decorations. You can never go wrong with Jack Allen's! read more

Brought an out of town friend for dinner tonight and was totally embarrassed by the experience. We are Jack Allen fans but hadn't been to this new Hutto location before. I was misled about parking which was in a parking garage nearby not in front of the restaurant as I had been told. Waiter was clueless. Appetizers, salad and entrees all arrived at the same time. We refused the entrees and a few minutes later the waiter came and told us we needed to take delivery of the entrees. Obviously they had been put in or under a warmup device since sauce was coagulated on all entrees. Left most of my entree uneaten as did my guests. No refill offered on non alcoholic beverages. Won't be back. read more

Service was great as always. I have been wanting to try the brunch enchiladas for the longest time and they did not disappoint. read more

Terrific location for Jack Allen's Kitchen. We had spinach ravioli with gorgonzola, the chicken nachos. I had the chicken fried steak, and my wife had the chicken fried pork chop. It was all excellent, including the service. The server said he was new there, but you'd never know it. We've been to another location, but the Hutto spot is now our favorite. read more

Great food, great service. They do nice things for teachers in the community. We'll be back! Glad they came to Hutto!

Fantastic to have one in Hutto now, food and waitstaff are Fantastic so are the bar tenders. The steak is AMAZING, perfectly cooked. The horseradish Salomon is excellent as well and though is the pork filet with chirozo filling. read more

My Son's Birthday! The Food was Great! The portion for what we paid was not so Great, for dinner! We did get our Happy Hour prices, and he did get his FREE desert, but I was Very Disappointed in the Military Discount. Usually 10% but once again, this is nothing compared to 22 1/2 yrs in the Military. We accept the 10% and be Grateful. Tonight, They gave us $4 off of his plate. nothing else. I have Never seen this. What does that say for the Spouse waiting his return or his family. I have NEVER been so disrespected. Our Server was Great, but this needs to be addressed. Not Acceptable!! read more

Love the new location, beautiful space with lots of natural light. Large, open room with patio seating and separate bar. Great service, friendly staff. Half priced apps 3-6p :-) Crunchy Catfish and Ravioli were both delicious! read more

Decided to try takeout after a long day (Weds, 03/05 @ 8pm). Drove to the restaurant (parked in the garage which I wasn't expecting, but OK, that's fine). The interior was well decorated and looked inviting. The restaurant was mostly empty. Approached the hostess, who surely hasn't smiled in years, if ever. Told her we'd never been to JAK but had heard great things and wanted to order some takeout for now since we were exhausted. While she blankly stared at us, I mentioned the cute hippo candy dish on the hostess stand (I have the same one). Her reply was " we don't do that." I think she was a robot. Not sure what they don't do, but we left. We will try again when they have a live hostess perhaps. Excited to try all the great things I've been told they offer. They must have placed a robot at the front during their first week in business. read more

I was so looking forward to visiting this location of Jack A's because of the wonderful experience I have had at the Round Rock location. I decided to go on my birthday this year and try it out. The restaurant was lively and busy but we were still seated promptly per our reservation. The server took our drink orders in good time and we were set. The drinks came and my order, a martini, was just as I expected. My daughter-in-law's, however, was not to hers. We asked the server to please have the bartender correct the drink and she said she'd tried but the bar was super busy and she couldn't get their attention. So, she reached out to the manager. He came prepared with a shaker but the overall attitude with my daughter in law appeared condescending and unapologetic. Not the response anticipated. A somewhat cringe moment for our family. Didn't seem like there was genuine concern for us leaving as satisfied customers on his part. Too bad. Next time, back to Round Rock. read more

Delightful & de'lish=*Twisted*Cobb Salad is a must try. Second time I ordered it to go b/c of the exquisite combination of flavors, ingredients & amazing sweet chili dressing. read more

The Hutto location was a long awaited one, and they certainly haven't disappointed!! The vibes are on point and the decor is so cute! They even paid homage to the Hutto Hippos! I've been here a handful of times with both family and dental team! Each time from start to finish, we were so well taken care of and the food has been on point. Brunch, lunch and dinner all have yummy offerings. The food comes out really quickly, so you never have to wait long. I particularly love the smashed guac, fat jack burger and grilled strip. It's been a really wonderful experience thus far each time and we're so happy that we have a solid go to in town now!! Highly recommend! read more

Overall the food is consistently good. The last time we came here the wait staff was quite rude and didn't refill half of our parties drinks for the entire meal. The manager offered $10 worth of coupons as an apology for the lack of service which didn't seem quite commensurate. The location is great for walking around outside. read more

We've been to several other Jack Allen's locations, and this new one in Hutto is on par with the expected service and quality associated with JAKs. Happy hour service at the bar was warm, helpful, and chatty, and lunch service was the same. Both times we've been, the food came out fairly quickly and everything is fresh and tasty. Thank you for bringing a quality sit-down place to Hutto! We will be regular visitors. read more

Service was great no rush to get you out, able to enjoy the meal. Had the Baja fish tacos, excellent! Definitely going to make this one of my goto restaurants. read more

Went there last night for a birthday celebration and the food was the best part. We made a reservation and after waiting past our time they finally told us that our table was still occupied. We ended up sitting on the porch area which was nice enough, there were heaters which blasted way to much heat so you were either hot or cold. The worst part that wasn't taken into consideration by those who seated us was there was some sort of construction worker/frat party going on in the same area, loud cussing included! Now, I'm not opposed to a good time but it totally ruined the family celebration we went there for. I'm sure we will eat there again but I will be more picky about where they seat us. read more

Blood orange ritas are over the top. Food offerings were great and we look forward to the next visit.

We went to the new Jack Allen's in Hutto as we love the other locations. It did not disappoint. We enjoyed a drink outside while waiting with a very tranquil view of the pond. There is a fantastic patio. Once we were at the table, someone almost immediately took our drink order. Throughout the dinner service, multiple people checked on us and service was very prompt. Our drinks were always full. The food was absolutely delicious. The burger was cooked to perfection and the ruby trout salad is so light and refreshing. We will definitely be back. read more

First off I would like to say I enjoy Jack Allen's food and have eaten a several locations and have always had a good experience. That was until I visited the Hutto location on 3-30-25 for Brunch. First thing that stood out to me is when entering I noticed a 1/4 full restaurant so I figured I would be seated quickly. Nope, I was told it was a 30 minute wait. Not sure how that is possible when the restaurant is practically empty. After waiting for 40 minutes I finally went up to the host stand and asked how much longer it would be and she said my name was not even on the list. I showed her the text I received confirming my wait time and I was finally seated. Food was not as good as we have had at other locations. We all got the breakfast sandwiches and they came out very quickly. As far a quality they were good but something was off in the tasted vs the Round Rock location. The best thing I can say about our experience was our server Homero. He was awesome! read more

Excellent! We loved it. Enjoy the courtesy, respect and chat. Look forward to returning.

The service here was horrible. They said 5-10 minute wait and it was around 30. I saw multiple seats open while this happened as well.

Happy how cocktails and 1/2 price appetizers hit the spot! We were promptly seated by friendly staff, and our server Kailey was exceptional, paying careful attention to our every need. JA's in Hutto is a great place to meet friends, it's a beautiful restaurant in a perfect natural setting by a cute lake. Our second visit was as enjoyable as the first. read more
