I used to go there quite often. That was about 5 years ago. It was almost perfect. Food was always fantastic. Service excellent. It was our go to spot. But their hours of service can be difficult to navigate read more

This place is why I reserve 5 stars. The chef is a celebrity making dishes for movies. I had the best quiche I've ever had. Service is excellent. What a find! read more

Decided at the last minute to give this place a try, glad we did. The restaurant is bigger than it looks from the street, but it's nice and cozy inside. There's about 8 or 9 tables and a few chairs along the bar to eat at. My wife ordered a glass of Chardonnay, which she said was very good. I ordered a Makers Mark Old Fashioned and it was spot on! My wife got the spaghetti and meatballs, she said the meatballs were terrific! I ordered the panko crusted pork cutlet sandwich with house made chips, everything was fantastic. The cutlet was as big as my head. Everything is made fresh to order. The service was fast and accurate. Found our new favorite spot in Florence, we will be returning. read more

Food was ok. Mac and cheese was good but never did the server mention it was $1.50 extra. The server did not remember our drinks and took forever to do anything. The Mac and cheese was good but a little cold. The brisket sandwich was kind of soggy. The bread was delicious. The chicken sandwich was good. There was a dead cockroach in the bathroom tho. The posters are cool and the art on the wall is enjoyable. Jack the owner seemed nice too. read more

We finally got to try Jack's Place while visiting our sons at UNA! They were super busy, which was the only downfall, service was slow with little time for refills or extra condiments. Other than that, it was a pretty good experience! Will definitely return! read more

I cannot say enough about this quaint cafe just off the main drag of UNA. We (four of us) went on a Sunday after shopping and seated ourselves. The server was prompt and polite. The menu had so many amazing options, and we tried many things, from the nachos (amazing!) to bacon waffles (light, delicious with large slices of bacon.) There's a whole wall of movie posters which was fun to review, although I couldn't determine how they were connected. There's an outside area that I can only imagine is amazing on a warm night or a nice day. They had a good list of alcoholic beverages, but we didn't try any...this time! read more

#fatjared say...I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. It was not enough to earn 5 stars, as I had a couple of small complaints, but I would definitely go back. One reason I would go back, is the service. We had a new waittress, literally first day, and she treated us so well and with such kindness it really set the tone for a great night. I will explain briefly my grading. I will never give 5 stars if I have any complaints. Period. 5 stars is perfect, and if I have a complaint it's not perfect! For my 2 small complaints, first comes the brussel sprouts. Just overall not good. Not cooked enough, no color on them, not good seasoning, just overall not a good side choice. Being in Alabama, getting veggies is usually not the best bet anyway! HAHA The burger I also think may have been frozen at some point. The edges were a little too perfect, and did not have a fresh taste to me. I may be wrong, but that is just my opinion. Other than those very small things, which let's be real frozen meat is not a big deal. I freeze all my meat when I buy in bulk! Everything else was stupendous. The cheesy wontons rocked, the mini meatballs were great, with not too big of a size, and good flavor on the meat, and MAN that salmon flatbread was UNREAL!!! So good! Well done there seriously!! Great flavor, cool presentation, and a perfect size. They also have great beer options, and cocktails. I had a free dessert when checking in to their place on yelp, and even though they weren't aware of that, they made us a Christmas tree cookie! So cute! Overall, I would go back. I say 4.5 out of 5 stars. Really good, great service, and a fun experience. Couple of misses for me, but nothing to complain too much about. I really enjoyed it! read more

Jack’s Place - Burger - Desserts Near Me - Florence, Alabama

One of the best burgers in the area. The owner has been a chef for many different movies which can be seen in the restaurant.

This was a great hidden gem. We were in town to visit family and found this place online. Apparently the chef used to do food that was used in movies. The atmosphere was fun, and the food was very good. I ordered the cheesy won tons, which weren't bad, but I wasn't crazy about. But I ordered the fried pork tenderloin sandwich and my husband had the buffalo chicken flat bread, and both were excellent. They do not have a kids menu, but they were very accommodating with existing menu items - modifying them for our littles. Our server was very polite and attentive, which was no small feat, as we were with a group of 11. We called ahead to make sure they could accommodate us, and they had a large table ready for us when we arrived. I very much enjoyed, and highly recommend Jack's Place. read more

This is a hidden gem! Is the menu unusually diverse? Yes. But everything is delicious. I recommend the brisket for newcomers, followed by quinoa Masala for the more exquisite taste. Shanna and Bryan hold it down. The bar design is beautiful, and the art on the wall could (should) be in a museum. Every other place in town is a chiche...Italian, Pizza, Sushi and this place is, well, Jack's Place. Order a bottle of wine, stay awhile. read more

Seemed like a good place. Just a bit overpriced which will probably cost them some business. It's a place I would go to several times a week instead of once a month or so if I could get a lunch under 10 dollars with a drink. Service was fantastic and food was good, plus my yelp got me free snickerdoodle cookies that were awesome. Inside was super comfortable with great decor. I definitely felt the zen. Overall very good! read more

Jack’s Place - Half sandwich, half spinach salad. Tasted great, but the sandwich was super tiny. - Desserts Near Me - Florence, Alabama

Great atmosphere and the food is great. The staff and management are always willing to assist you.

This place is great! I highly recommend starting your meal with the bread basket. It comes with 3 different kinds of bread and normal and cinnamon butter and they are all great! Food wise you can't go wrong here. The brisket sandwich is fantastic, they load you down with meat and the brisket is incredibly juicy and flavorful. The house chips are also great. The brunch food here is also great. The French toast is very thick and has a great flavor. If you are in the Florence area this is a must visit restaurant. read more

My wife and I stopped in here this morning b/c of Yelp's favorable ratings. We are so glad that we did, the food, the service and atmosphere were all excellent. I had the eggs Benedict over ham & bacon and my wife had Salmon Benedict - they were delicious. We also had the basket of fresh baked bread & it was delicious as well, especially the zucchini bread. I highly recommend and will definitely go back. A++++ read more

This is a favorite bistro in downtown Florence! They have delicious food and the servers are always nice and attentive. Their salads are great, it's a fun brunch place on the weekends. I love their daily specials. Can't recommend this one enough. read more

If you are ever in Florence, do yourself a favor and eat at Jack's place. Jack is the owner and chef and he worked as a food stylist on several movies including Iron man and the hunger games. To say that the food was delicious is an understatement. We started with the cheese wontons. I had the Cuban panini with homemade chips with a delicious jalapeño ranch dip. My husband had the burger and chips. For dessert we had carrot cake and lavender tea cake with the most unusually delicious ice cream I have ever eaten. I assure you any entree you order will be delicious. This place is a must try. read more

Jack's Place is always a winner for dinner or brunch. The menu has a large selection of entrees, salads, and sandwiches, and several daily specials. My favorites are the brisket, panko-encrusted pork sandwich, and the chicken parm. Their wine list is better than most in the Shoals. The star is always the dessert like the chocolate meringue pie. Get there early or they will sell out! read more

I've eaten here twice, once with a large group about a year ago and just this past week with a group of four. The previous time the food and service were excellent. This past week, though, was different. The food was still outstanding but the service was very good and excellent. I have absolutely nothing even remotely bad to say about this place and would recommend it highly. It does Florence proud! read more

I'm not sure why this place hasn't blown up, but between the drink specials and amazing food it's a hidden gem. I like to sit at the bar because it's a beautiful piece of hard wood. The bartenders workstation is a granite slab that was displayed in the hunger games movie. The menu is approachable and comfortable, but still full of fun surprises. The biscuit nachos are a great place to start, especially while sipping a happy hour beer or mimosa. I just dropped in for a snack and a drink, otherwise I'd be able to tell you about dinner. The pork shank sounds AMAZING!!! read more

First customer in 11:00 brunch recieved order 50min later. To watch other people being served. Party of 4. My order of steak and eggs came out with steak and potatoes. Told server I ordered steak and eggs. Quickly said my eggs were coming didn't have enough room to cook them. having a bit of knowledge about serving they done smaller orders first to turn the tables. Food was ok but some of items were done cold. read more

Amazing salad- the spinach with fried chicken and the goat cheese was all melty, AND the bacon and tomatoes? Seriously SO good! Also had the jalepeno margarita which was salty but yummy. Great service, highly recommend the chocolate bread pudding and this little gem! read more

Server was very unattentive and seemed annoyed that we were even there and never introduced herself. Food wasnt that great and portions were small. My slice of dry cake was the same price as my meal. Not planning to go back. read more

Stopped in for dinner while in town for business. Excellent dinner and location. Definitely would recommend if you're in town.

I've walked past this place at least a hundred times since it's opened and never gave it a fair chance, safe to say I've been missing out! The southern BLT is a gift from god himself! I'll be back again very soon. read more

Ok fellow Yelpers, this place is great. I had the Brisket sandwich with the Mac n cheese... this is no ordinary Mac n cheese, this stuff has bow tie pasta with a mixture of cheese and just the right amount of other yummy goodies in it. As far as the Brisket sandwich, it was served on a toasted bun and had the right amount of juicy, tender beef and slaw mixture. My wife had the spinach salad with smoked salmon & a warm bacon vinegarette dressing. She says it was fantastic! read more

Ate at Jack's Place for the first time tonight. My wife and I each got the boneless pork chop. She or the Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes as a side and I got the tomato bisque and mashed potatoes. The pork was perfectly cooked with a maple mustard sauce that was so good I could rink it out of a cup. It was so good. We finished with the homemade hazelnut vanilla ice cream over a chocolate brownie. It too easy great. I highly recommend Jack's Place as it was an enjoyable meal that left us very satisfied! read more

As soon as I stepped in I was greeted, not only by the server but also the great atmosphere. The vibe is Western Modest yet humble and welcoming. To continue, Jack's food is know for its roles in movies like, Iron Man, Charlie's Angels, etc. So it was a MUST TRY. The flavoring of the dish was unique and delicious. The amount of spice is to die for. Service was fantastic I felt like I was talking to a good friend. 10/10 would try again. read more

Food ,cocktails, service, and atmosphere 5 star. Best in Florence. No doubt!

This place was perfect. My husband and toddlers are picky eaters and they ate everything. We started with the Trio but were told the meatballs were a good choice for an app as well. The chicken in all the dishes was super tender and had a nice flavor. We were there on a Saturday and they had live music. Our server was new, but the service was still great. The food also came quickly which is always good with kids. I would definitely go back if we are ever in this area again. read more

Jack's Place is such a delightful bistro in the heart of downtown Florence. They have so many great dishes to choose from, most with ingredients sourced locally. Sunday Brunch is exactly what I've wanted in downtown Florence for so long. $1.00 mimosas after 12:00p on Sundays to go along with delicious Waffles or French Toast! I'm hooked! read more

Almost everything we got here was just average. The hamburger was nothing special. The pork sandwich had a soggy bun. The chicken Tikka masala was not very good. I should not have chosen to have it over quinoa. Perhaps the wild rice would have been a better choice. However I will say the chicken was tender and had a good flavor. On a more positive note my caprese salad was absolutely wonderful! Made with fresh tomatoes from their garden. I'd get that again. Plus the guy was really friendly and nice. We did take out but the restaurant looked like it had a nice ambiance. read more
