    This is the most I've been to Jack's in my lifetime! My mom and I came here out of convenience and to satisfy our milkshake craving. Yes, another milkshake craving!! It was around lunchtime , so the drive thru was very crowded. We spent a long time in line before we reached the window to pay. When we finally made it to the window , the young lady who helped us was really courteous and friendly. The strawberry shakes are delicious!! This was my first time having a milkshake from Jack's and I have a feeling it won't be the last!

    I needed to do some shopping in the area then had a bit of a drive on my hands and decided a snack/drink were in order. If you are heading towards 459 from Highway 11, then this place is a piece of cake to access. If you are heading away from 459 you may need to rething, especially if you are here around going to work, lunch, or going home traffic. Highway 11 gets really congested/backed up during those times making it virtually impossible to get in here. I was here for only the drive through, so can't speak to what the dine in experience is like. The drive through is well managed. Polite staff do a good job of taking your order/repeating in back/give you a price - really all you need from a good drive through. Service was quick and the wait was short (only a couple cars in front of me). The tea was sweet, just how I like it and the fries were fresh out of the fryer and seasoned perfect! Aside from the possible traffic issues, not too much they could do better from the drive through perspective.

    Temperature

    Typical food, good breakfast, and had a heart shaped biscuit. Only problem was the temperature. 58 and setting was on cool. It was 47 outside. If the heat is broken, you could have turned on the fireplace.

    Jack's is definitely All about the South as far as offering reasonable food special that you'll see advertising on tv. Waffle House don't have anything on Jack's when it comes to breakfast since I be seeing customers (mostly elderly) dining inside every time I passed by there on my way to work. As for the food, I ended up getting there special for $3.99 which includes a double cheeseburger, fries and pie. It was enough to filled me up and they have some good strawberry cream cheese pie which I would highly recommend if you never had one before. Let me also point out that there kid's size burger is large comparing to what other fast food restaurants offer on the kid's menu.

    I wanted to love this place SO BAD!! There's an attached arcade!!…read moreAnd the staff was SO NICE and friendly and helpful and I loved the industrial, creative decor. But we'd spent the day at McWane Center and we were starving so we were there to EAT! The food looked gorgeous but it tasted very meh. The onion rings had too much breading on them, which I didn't think was possible, but here we are. The part of the breading next to the onion was mushy so that threw off the texture of the whole thing too. The burger was very much like a Whataburger. Even the lettuce smelled the same. I got The Standard and the bun of the burger was a little mushy (similar to Whataburger) and there was not much meat. For an $11 burger, I'm expecting more than a Whataburger. My middle kid likes everything on her burger and isn't picky at all and the loaded kid burger looked impressive but it was about the same as mine. Not awful, but not very good either. Very close to the same amount of meat. She's the queen of the Clean Plate Club and she only ate half. The fries were good but a somewhat too salty, the dip that came with the onion rings was excellent and we ended up using it for the fries. We had 2 adults and 3 kids and our meal was $63 before tip for 5 waters, 2 adult burgers, 2 kid burgers, a kid grilled cheese, and a basket of fries and onion rings (I thought I was ordering a "side" of fries, not realizing I actually ordered a basket and it was a lot of fries and onion rings). We don't mind spending money on good food, but the prices here don't align with what you get. No one was more disappointed than me, I've been wanting to eat here for FOREVER!!!

Parking is primarily street parking in the area, but there is also a public parking deck nearby. I'm unsure what the current cost is for the deck, but it's worth knowing if you're visiting during a busier time. I ordered the fish tacos with black beans and chose the cheese grits as my second side. Everything tasted fresh and had lots of flavor. The real star of the meal, though, was the sweet potato cake. It was incredibly moist and delicious. Honestly, I could've eaten four of them without shame or hesitation. My colleagues ordered burgers and fries. They both really enjoyed their burgers, but neither cared much for the fries. They had also requested a couple additional items after the food arrived, but those items never made it to the table. The decor is bright and fun, though it didn't quite seem to match the style of food being served. Just my personal observation. They also have a robot that helps deliver the food alongside the servers, which felt a little unexpected for the casual atmosphere and southern comfort food vibe. They were fairly busy since it was lunchtime on a Friday, but the wait really wasn't bad at all. Would I go back? Yes. Was it my absolute favorite? No. But there were definitely things I enjoyed, especially that sweet potato cake that nearly made me consider ordering dessert first next time.

We ordered the hot chicken sandwich with a side of coleslaw, and both were packed with flavor. The slaw was light, crisp, and not overloaded with mayo, with just a slight peppery kick that made it incredibly tasty. The hot chicken sandwich itself wasn't overwhelmingly spicy, but it was finger-licking good -- juicy, well-seasoned, and satisfying down to the last crumb. We truly enjoyed every bite. The ambience with its bright green, purple and white colors added to the experience. The restaurant was lively and full of people, which is always a good sign. I also caught glimpses of other patrons' dishes, and everything coming out of the kitchen looked just as delicious as what we ordered. Service was friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better. Staff members seemed genuinely happy to be there and kept things moving smoothly. The location is right in the heart of downtown Bhama, so parking is metered street parking, but the prices were reasonable and worth it for the quality and uniqueness of the food. Overall, this spot delivered on food, atmosphere, and service. Big thumbs up from me -- I'll definitely be back!
