Tater tots
Jessica A.

Gave this a try on a Saturday evening. No wait for a table on the patio. The service was a little slow but not too bad. We ordered the cheese curds and fried mushrooms for an appetizer as well as the smoked maple and gin old fashioneds. Both of the drinks were really good as were the appetizers. I had the BLT and the fancy fries (everything is ala carte so this ran about $17) and greatly enjoyed both of them. The others in my party had the smash burgers and labeled those as mid. Skip the tater tots--no seasoning and not crispy.

Cheese curds

We were getting married at the courthouse and wanted to celebrate downtown Janesville. We went in and talked with Erin. She said they had a party of 6 in the back room but they didn't have any information on them so our party of 14 could have the room. We were also offered the upstairs room but couldn't take it because my 94 year old dad couldn't go up the stairs. Because Erin told us about the other party I called her to confirm a week before our event. She didn't call me back so I went down in person. I waited in front of the bar for at least 15 minutes with staff walking by me and the bartender not even looking at me. I finally interrupted one of the waiters and asked if Erin was there. He said he wasn't sure and that she could be next door. I went over to the restaurant next door and found her. She assured me our reservation was in her calendar and I had nothing to worry about. After our wedding we went to Jack & Jenny's and I let them know our party was there. They said our party could head upstairs. I was mad. How could they mess this up?!! We waited another 15 - 20 minutes and the bartender wouldn't wait on our party. Then when they got the back room ready for us and asked us to come back, the bartender asked if she could get us anything?!! We were seated. Everything else went smoothly. I think most of our party liked the food. I've had a burger there before and it was good. I had the Shrimp special and I wouldn't get it again. It was deep fried butterflied shrimp that tasted like they bought it from the freezer section.

Simple fries

I've been patiently waiting for Jack & Jenny's to open and now it has!! The decore on the inside just gives you all homey family feels, warm and inviting. The staff were super friendly and highly attentive. Now to the food. Seriously, growing up in Wisconsin, I've had LOTS of cheese curds but dang both my husband and I said these are hands down the best we've ever had. The batter was light and airy almost melts in your mouth just as the cheese hits your tongue! Phenomenal! The simple fries, perfect crispiness on the outside and soft in the center. The smash WOW! I really don't eat just smash burgers even though it might seem like that from my reviews lately, but these were freakin awesome! I had the Oklahoma onion, hubby had the Big Smash Mac (added tomato). Oooey gooey goodness all wrapped up in a delicious bun! Definitely go try Jack and Jenny's - I promise you won't be disappointed!

We had the fish fry and there was a lot of bones in my perch. The coleslaw wasn't good either :(

Visiting with out of town guests who were told to meet at corner Gastro pub and chose this instead…read more Would I return? Unlikely. Our wait staff was on her feet and covering the entire patio and indoors. She did a good job checking on us. #6, #7 and #13 were all ordered again so clearly enjoyed. the fried food looked dark (likely oil overuse!) but no rancidity detected thus would definitely recommend the beer dip combo, onion rings or sweet potato fries. Crowd got a bit rowdy after 10. Cars revving engines in lot next door etc. (no fights). Someone had their wallet and phone stolen so keep your wits! Rustic design of bathroom makes it feel like a peep show for same gender. Weird.

Food was good. Sat at a table for 5 outside. It's in the city, yet the outside was wonderful and…read morethe evening was warm, a bit windy but that keeps the flies away so it was comfortable. Chairs and tables were nice, plenty of room yet cozy. Bar outside for quick drinks. Had ok NA options. Nice place inside too. Tables are big for a tavern, real big and even the booths were huge, seat six with room to grow as you eat. All natural wood. Seating was open, pick your own, no hostess. Shrimp salad excellent. Burgers and onions rings perfect. Quesadillas great, cheese curds were crunchy and melted runny inside, as they should be. Pulled pork was good (that's really hard to screw up) Nothing was too salty, we were all raised low sodium so we can taste the actual food. So then, why only three stars? If you don't serve the food at the same time, you lose a star. Nothing irritates me more. Get it together. If you serve the appetizer late, you lost another. Shrimp salad and burger arrived first. TEN minutes passed until we saw the other three orders. Five minutes later the cheese curds appetizer arrived. Really should be 2 stars now because I had the Cubano. These sandwiches have strict rules. It was fine, but the ham is supposed to be real ham, not thinly sliced cheap Carl Budding sandwich ham. Since the atmosphere was so nice and people were friendly and very attentive, three stars seemed appropriate. The chef served the first two dishes and a few others, maybe that's why he's not cooking. There were plenty of servers, we had three. Get your ass back in the kitchen.

The staff attended to us like we were long time regulars, never hesitating to offer recommendations or samples of things. We loved everything we ate, ESPECIALLY the Fried Green Tomatoes. Every drink that we ordered was also excellent. Based on my personal experience I ABSOLUTELY recommend you visit Whiskey Ranch Bar. I cannot imagine a circumstance that would lead to disappoint.

An ominous start....before arriving we wondered if it was even worth it ...It was!! After finally arriving we were quickly greeted and seated. Our server Angelica brought menus and took our drink orders promptly. The menu was quite impressive, many different choices and priced quite reasonably. My lovely bride ordered the Whiskey Ranch Chicken Sandwich w/waffle fries and for myself the Slow Smoked BBQ Beef Brisket that came with two sides and a salad. I chose waffle fries and mac and cheese. My bride called dibs on my salad with thousand island dressing. The side salad was a more than generous size with fresh greens and a very tasty salad dressing. After an appropriate amount of time the entrees arrived hot, fresh and more than generous proportions. Seeing that, we asked Angelica for carry out containers ahead of time in attempt to portion control. It was a good thing we did. My wife loved her Whisky Ranch Sandwich that came with Jack Daniel's glaze, bacon, lettuce, tomato onion, onion straws along with waffle fries as a side. The smoked beef brisket had the right amount of being smoked, not overpowering, a drizzle of bbq sauce, garlic bread and amazing waffle fries. I have to mention the brisket was so tender and was able to be cut with a fork. Angelica was an amazing server, excellent food at a more than reasonable price. I normally post a receipt, but the serving size and food quality and value was simply amazing. It was a good thing we had to park several blocks away, we definitely need the walk back to the car to burn off some calories. Kudos to Whiskey Ranch Bar and Grill for such an unexpected great meal.....also to Angelica for amazing service too.

Unbelievable Friday Night Dinner at The Draft House!…read more While visiting family in Janesville, my uncle took us out to the drafthouse... the entire experience was a 10/10. The vibe was relaxed, the atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and the food was top-tier. We ordered the Friday Dinner Features, and every single component was executed flawlessly: * 28-Day Aged Filet Mignon: A tender 6 oz hand-cut USDA choice filet served over a rich mozzarella-infused sweet potato mash, smothered in a savory bourbon brown sugar-espresso demi-glace, accompanied by two perfectly crisp bacon-wrapped shrimp and citrus buttered broccolini. * Tuscan Faroe Island Salmon: Beautifully seared salmon served over a bed of linguine tossed with heirloom cherry tomatoes and sun-dried tomatoes in a decadent Tuscan Parmesan cream sauce, paired with citrus buttered broccolini. Between the exceptional dishes, great wine, and warm hospitality, perfect service, it was by far one of my favorite dining experiences in Wisconsin. I highly recommend checking out their weekend features! #DraftHouse #JanesvilleWI #WisconsinEats #FamilyDinner #FiletMignon #TuscanSalmon #FoodieGram #WisconsinDining #GoodVibes #FiveStarReview #fyp #viral #reels #viralreels #fypシ #fyp #viralreelschallenge #foodie

There are stairs to get in the front, but it is level in the back where there is a parking lot as well! Our server was super nice and treated us well. They have pretty good beer list, but have a huge wine list surprisingly. They have many cocktails to choose from too! Our food was all delicious. They have a variety of options that span from fairly priced elevated "bar food" to gourmet dishes. The cheese curds came as cubes and were delicious! Super fun take on the traditional, and a must have for a bar in Wisconsin. For meals we got the hot honey chicken sandwich, tai chicken flatbread on cauliflower crust, lobster ravioli and DH burger! Everyone loved their meals. We'll be back for sure!
