Lunchtime landed me at #JacksCornerTap Ribs, fries, collard greens and drinks. I ordered the ribs. The barbecue sauce on the ribs was very good, But if you removed the barbecue sauce from the ribs, they weren't very appetizing. The meat itself just didn't taste that good. They passed the pull a part test ---- fall off the bone test, just work on flavoring the meat. The french fries were hot and crispy. I love a crispy fry. I did not like the collard greens at all. They taste like they were cooked in a pot full of unsalted butter and that's it. I added vinegar to the dish and tried to perk them up and that made them worse. Now if you are looking for a good libation to wash down this food, the lemon drop martini hit the spot. I had two of them. Jack's Corner Tap has a lot more menu options and I am willing to give them another try. I just won't be ordering ribs or collard greens. On the plus side, this will be a dope spot to watch the #Panthers for the coming up season. #GratuityAdded #PubEats #LocalEats #Cornelius #NorthMeck MecklenburgEats #OfflineClt #Ribs #Collards #CLTSouthernEats #KeepPounding #Olympics2024 #ParisOlympics #charlottefood #cltfood #cltfoodie #charlottenc #charlottefoodie #clteats #charlotteeats #charlottesgotalot #exploreclt #cltfoodies #eatdrinkclt #eatdrinkcornelius #cltfoodbloggers #charlottefoodies #supportlocal read more

We used to go to Jack's every Wednesday -- for the trivia, and for the service. Now that you've let Mikko go, we won't be going anymore -- in part because the food isn't worth the prices, and in part because this represents a really poor business decision. Instead, we'll keep the $10 gift certificate we won on Mikko's last night as a souvenir of the great times we had there on Wednesday nights, and will follow Mikko wherever he goes. read more

This is my go to for Sunday funday! It's a Panthers bar so win or lose they have multiple TVs and a great food and drink selection! Bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable!! read more

Loved it but permanently closed My favorite local spot. Food was great. Friendly service.

Usually come here on my lunch break, always chill and not super crowded so I can relax, eat and head back to work! :)

Great food and service, we ate outside and it was nice. I had the Cod tacos and my wife had the shrimp and chips lunch special. The old fashion was very good as well. read more

I love coming here! The atmosphere is always nice, and welcoming. Food has always been spot on and delicious

We walked in at 10 minutes after 9PM tonight, were seated and given menus. 5 minutes later the server walked up and said it was so dead the kitchen just decided to close really quickly. Really people? Awful guest service!! Service is really going downhill. Communicate to the front of house *first* and don't close the kitchen until the hostess mentions this and refrains from handing out food menus upon seating guests!! read more

Fantastic place with great variety of delicious apps, burgers and sandwiches. Servers are all very pleasant! Fun atmosphere.

The food is so good. The service was awesome. We've been here twice now and haven't ordered anything bad.

First time checking this place out yesterday and it was a pretty decent spot. The space is very open, sports bar vibe--I could see it being a great place to meet up for happy hour. The drinks were really good and our server was on it! The food was good but nothing to ride home about. Can't really complain about anything... just kind of typical bar food. I'd def go back....matter fact I left my card there so I will 100% be back. Lol read more

Great food and lots of tvs to watch every sport playing. Food was tasty. I have the Sonoma chicken and hubs had wings. Both great Service was okay a little slow but tolerable. Ambiance of the tvs is a true sports bar. Nice place read more

Which of this place last night for the first time with my family, and found it to be your typical local hire and sports bar that she would normally see in Cornelius at that location. Even though it looked pretty crowded out on the patio the inside was full but not so much where it was uncomfortable. We were seated immediately and given the builder burger menu which little did we know was the special of the night. That would probably be the only negative to the experience, is that being that it was our first time there, that was not explained to us. So be it we ordered from the full menu. I have to say that the food came out extremely hot and actually very well done I had the Cuban was very hot, the chips, were hot however they were a little bit more sloppy than crunchy. We also tried the buffalo chicken dip, which was actually very tasty, as it came with large chunks of chicken and arrived piping hot with tortilla chips. This is obviously a local neighborhood spot, but if you're in the mood to people watch, and I was, this is a good place to go to. read more

The plan was to go to Fresh Chef Kitchen with my son, but the line was out the door and the people in that line smelled like Ben Gay. They gave me dirty looks, possibly because they knew I thought they smelled like Ben Gay. We were out. Next Stop: Little Big Burger, but there were construction workers (they were a little bit big) still working on it. Jack's was right next door. I had only been there for beer and pretzels with a friend, but since those were good, we went in and ate outside on the patio. My burger and fries were perfectly cooked. Even the pickles were great (I always put pickles on my burger). The fries were crispy and tasty. My son's burger was also excellent, but the chips--which looked crispy--were soft and tasteless. Since the service was very friendly and efficient, I give it a 4.5, which rounds up to a 5. read more

Phone keeps checking me in here when I'm at the grocery, figured I ought to at least stop in for a look. For better or worse it's a neighborhood bar and eatery. Daytime barkeeps are friendly enough and seem to know just about everyone coming and going. TVs are everywhere as distractions but not competing with the piped-in music. Not sure what Jack intended but it has comfortably settled into this :-) $2 tacos on Monday: choice of steak, chicken, fish, other fish... Went with the grilled fish and am pleased; real chunks of fish, tomato, and fresh crunchy cabbages on cool soft fresh tortillas. Doesn't really need it but 'Yea Tabasco!' Guessing the bar and the restaurant use the same kitchen. So based on today's effort I would consider dining in. read more

Definitely not a place I can recommend any longer. I've tried and tried, but today was the last straw. I started by ordering a House Bloody Mary and specifying that I did not want to go to the Bloody Mary bar (they're not my thing, please just make me your finest) AND a water. The waitress came back with what looked like a water and I proceeded to chug because it was a hot day. WOW...nope. That was straight vodka. The vodka I was supposed to use for my trip to the Bloody Mary bar that I specifically didn't want... Ok, no worries. Strike 1 on me. Then it came to food. I ordered a veggie burger in a wrap with sweet potato fries. Please refer to my pictures. I know that this isn't a traditional sports bar order, but I'm trying to eat more plant based foods and currently scouting for the best veggie burger in town. Folks, this ain't it. The patty only made it into half of the wrap. It was flavorful but overall just a mush. The serving of sweet potato fries was skimpy. All of my friends made comments that it looked like they left half the order in the kitchen. I asked the waitress if this was a full serving and she said all of the food is weighed and that's a full serving of fries. Boy, now I felt like a loser.... So on I ate. It's playoff football. I would've been inclined to stay and keep drinking, but our waitress wanted us to move along. Other food around us looked good, but honestly I've lost my enthusiasm for Jack's. read more

My wife and I are new to the area. We picked Jack's on a whim, got the lemon pepper and mustard jalapeño wings. The lemon pepper wings were good. Had the Cuban sandwich and I've had better. It tasted like a frozen sandwich heated up. Thanks Marie Calendar!! Good atmosphere though read more

Put dressing on my to go order ceasar salad. by the time i got back to work the salad was warm and soggy. I said something about it to the hostess and she didn't seem to care or offer to remake the salad. Also, I order a side cearar and I was charged over $8 when the menu list $5.00. i did say Side ceasar on the phone placing my order. The side of shrimp was over $7.00 when the appetizer was $10.00 and i only received 5 pieces of shrimp. Mainly I'm not happy with being over charged and the salad being terrible. Not happy with my meal. read more

10/10 recommend this place for lunch, ESPECIALLY if Lori is on staff! She treated us like we were family, and she was so sweet to my 18 month old! We came in about 10 minutes after they opened & the service was FAST, food was FRESH, and the place was CLEAN and friendly! The tunes playing were perfect, my son had a little dance party the whole time. Other guests were super sweet to our son & overall the vibes were just great! It's smaller on the inside so I could see it getting full easily in the winter months, around lunch or rush hours...but the patio is still nice whenever the weather is nice. I ordered the Bonzai Chicken sandwich & sweet potato fries. 12/10 on all of it! The fries were crispy, yet soft on the inside. The sauce they have with it (honey & cinnamon i think) was TOO good! The sandwich was juicy, FLAVORFUL, and had the best bun ever. I'd order this again in a heartbeat. The bacon was crispy, the tomato was ripe, the lettuce was fresh, the pineapple was JUICY, the chicken was flavorful and juicy as well! Next time we're in, we'll be sure to ask for Lori & probably order the exact same thing! We never needed anything because we were so well taken care of! Thanks again! read more

Such a nice and fun place! The food was really really good and the service was great! It was crowded but we hardly had to wait. There are also tvs everywhere which makes it a great place to hang and watch a game. Highly recommend! read more

Stopped in for a quick bite on a Monday night. It was low key and quiet. Hadn't been here for several years. We ordered a house salad and the grilled fish sandwich with pub fries. Sounds like nothing special, right? Well, it was amazingly top notch! The salad greens were extremely fresh, absolutely no 'stored in the refrigerator' taste that so many eateries suffer from. I love the way they chopped up the tomatoes, onions and cuc! The fish was fresh, and the portion was very generous! It was cooked perfectly and served on a great bun that didn't fall apart. The pub fries were crisp and delish as well. Service was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is warm, even though it's probably thought of as a sports bar. Plenty of TVs to keep up with any games being played. Not sure why we haven't visited more, but will be inclined to in the future! read more

A local friend of mine recommended Jacks so we met there on a Monday afternoon. The place was fantastic. Nice atmosphere, sports on multiple TV's, great staff. There were drink and food specials on Mondays and Thursdays. A couple of $2 Tacos were a meal in themselves. I'll be going back often. read more

We wanted to like this place but quickly realized why we just visit Al's across the parking lot instead. Food was obviously frozen despite descriptions like "house made pork" on their menu. My husband ordered it without mustard and pickles and the server came back out and said they were premade so she couldn't do that. My Philly was obviously frozen meat, and my husband ordered a burger that was clearly a frozen patty as well. Do yourselves a favor and just don't come here unless you're not eating. read more

Outdoor seating with TVs is clutch. Can't beat $2 mimosas. Pretzels were bomb... ate too quickly for a photo. Good day drinking spot read more

Food was good but super small portions- so small that we actually left there to go get something to eat after we ate!! Not kidding

Here this week with friends. This is a great place to watch sports games, food is pretty decent pub food, nothing that is memorable. Good for gathering with friends. read more

Fantastic Upscale Bar Food 4th of July and we decided to grab a quick dinner before the fireworks. My wife and I have been coming here since they opened a couple of years ago and this is one of her favorite places. I like it too and with the exception of the Oyster Po Boy, the food is generally good. They have never mastered that one. I had the Prime Rib which was one of their daily specials. It was excellent and great cut of meat. Only downside was the salad that came with it. Lettuce was limp and the balsamic dressing left much to be desired. My wife had Philly Cheese Steak Wraps which she enjoyed and even brought the leftovers home for a midnight snack. Service was excellent. They just took over the space next door and expanded the restaurant and the remodel came across well. Good casual place to go. Plenty of wide screen TV's so it's a nice place to catch a game or in todays, case, NASCAR at Daytona. Would recommend to anyone. read more

First time here & last time here. The absolute most bland food I've ever eaten. Appetizer came out looking like a complete mess and was lukewarm. It looked and tasted like something you could make at home. The chicken tacos had no flavor whatsoever and the chicken tasted boiled with no seasoning. The prices were also very high to be a tap room type of establishment. I will not be returning. read more

Great service! Got the Wednesday meatloaf special and it was delicious and large portions. It was Trivia night which was fun. Will be going back! read more

We love going to Jacks. $5 burgers on Thursdays, the chicken wing dip is amazing and mostly all of the staff is amazing. The one waitress even remembers our orders from the previous times and it goes so fast because of how great she is at her job. I wish I knew her name but she's great! read more

Stopping in at Jacks on a SAT night. They have this band named "the unknown Band" that is amazing. Not sure where they found them but the guitarist played an Eddie Vanhalen solo that was spot on! Two songs later the drummer hit a solo that Phil Collins would be proud of. Jack's is killing it with live entertainment! We will be back definitely. read more

Always fun and lively crowd. Live music on Friday nights @ 9:00pm. Lots of drink specials. Portions are generous. Waitstaff is well trained, friendly and attentive. We enjoyed a free appetizer courtesy of checking in with Yelp and ordering 2 meals. Woo-hoo! Had the tuna appetizer-yummy! Burger perfectly medium-rare. Veggies fresh a d cooked right without losing crispness. A definite "Yes!" read more

Great spot to grab a bite to eat while you watch sports on the numerous TVs inside. Still, better than your average sports bar, the food is really delicious!

I was pleasantly surprised by Jack's Corner Tap. My friend and I were just looking for a spot to grab some lunch and watch the UNC football game. We landed on Jack's and were expecting just some run of the mill Sports Bar food. Jack's ended up impressing us. I got the Bonsai Burger which had bacon, swiss cheese, pineapple, and was marinated in teriyaki sauce. The burger ended up being juicy and delicious. As my side, I got the homemade chips which were cooked just right and came with some delicious ranch. Also, Yelp has a check-in offer that gets you a free appetizer with the purchase of two meals. We went for it and got the Loaded Tater Tots. This wasn't just a little sampler that they brought out. They brought out a huge pile of tots topped with sour cream, guac, jalapeños, diced tomatoes, and more. Definitely take advantage of this. They have a good amount of options on the menu, considering it's a sports bar. This is the type of place that you could find something on the menu for just about anyone. This is also a great place to watch the game. They have TV's everywhere that the eye can see, and a number of large projectors. The service was great. Our waitress was attentive and very helpful when we wanted to turn on the UNC game on a TV that was closer to our table. I saw them accommodate several patrons who had a specific game that they wanted to watch. The beer selection isn't great, but they have a good number of local options, including some choices from NODA. If you are in the Lake Norman area and are looking for a place to watch the game and grab a bite to eat, Jack's Corner Tap is definitely the place. read more

This has been a place I've visited on a couple of Sundays and I just have to say they have $2 mimosas which in the greater area is one of...if not the best...deal around. Fish tacos are ok and the dish comes with 2 and a nice big bowl of beans, so plenty of food. Menu has very reasonably priced dishes. Add in a nice patio for warmer months and plenty of TVs inside, it is a nice go to place for eating, drinking, and viewing games. FYI: Huntersville Police do run road blocks on the back road between this place and Macs Speed Shop at night sometimes...........beware!!!! read more

We've been interested in trying Jack's for a while now. The Yelp reviews were mixed and our experience reflected that same mix with some good and some just average to below. The atmosphere is like a darker version of most sports bars with lots of TVs all around. The food ranged from not bad - Wedge salad with what appeared to be housemade blue cheese dressing - my wife's blackened fish tacos to below average - my cuban sandwich and the clearly frozen, out of a bag onion rings on the side. Seems to be a hangout for an older crowd (I can say that as I'm part of that crowd). All in all, I might come back sometime to watch a football game or something but Jack's won't be on our regular rotation of LKN stops. read more

This is a go-to spot for anyone in the Cornelius area. Thursday night is burger night, where you can order a burger and a side for only $5! Great value and incredible taste for that price. Staff is always friendly. I wish they would give you a slightly larger portion of fries, but for $5, I can't complain! read more
