    A little bit of the bar area
    Glenn F.

    Visited the other night and was pleasantly surprised. I had the fried chicken wrap which was a nice size and tasty. Also had the dumpling beforehand and they were really good and crispy. The bartender, even though we sat at a table was really attentive and friendly. (No waitress, so the bartender took care of us). They seem like they had just finished a Halloween party for adults and kids, which was really cool and have off a really community/neighborhood feel. Really cool. They have a nice amount of TV's for sports viewing. I didn't realize they had a nice big backyard area and side area, definitely want to come back when it's warm to enjoy that. The decor is really cool with the front of a fire truck behind the bar and other fire themed items around. I did know the theme as I did see the Bar Rescue episode on this place several years ago. Overall a nice spot that is family owned. Go hit it up and enjoy.

    Fried pickles...they gave me 11 pieces for $9

    Finally got to try this spot after living in the neighborhood for over 10 years. It's a little out of the way from other bars and restaurants in the neighborhood. I wanted to love it but it was overall OK. I may try it again if I'm in that area but I wouldn't go out of my way. Fried pickles - Paid $9 for a sad 11 pieces! It was also too salty. Big Jack's Burger - Def a solid burger in the neighborhood and very flavorful. I didn't really taste the spicy kick from the ghost pepper cheese though. Fries were pretty good too though could've used more salt. Buffalo char grilled wings - my husband and I have tried wings all over the neighborhood and this was pretty average. It didn't taste char grilled to me but I'm happy they give you blue cheese instead of ranch Overall OK and may try it again though I would

    I stop by here on a Tuesday, they had a tacos and a beer special for $10 today. But I was just here for the atmosphere, I sat at the bar and got the $4 colors lite draft . The bar is made very shinny , and parts are from fire trucks all around the place ! As you say by the Taps . You can see there's a fire truck windshield in front . I saw this place on a show called Bar Rescue! I didn't see anyone from the show when I was there . I wanted to see Bruce .. but maybe next time I'm here . I wanted to shoot a game of darts ! It has a spacious Backyard. And a patio on the side . Holds enough for groups here . Not far from the subway to get here there are 4 TVs in front . I like to come back here when they Buzy to get to know more people.

    I saw this place on an episode of Bar Rescue and was really excited to visit a Makeover spot that was in the area and still open! We dropped by on a Friday afternoon so the place was not busy at all. The food was great, although they didn't have my first choice of dish. The high point of the experience was definitely the server who was friendly and made great substitutions. Unfortunately, although the cool decor (firehouse theme) was still there, the place seemed a little rundown. I might visit again but only if I happen to be in the neighborhood.

    Great spot. Place is decked out with fire memorabilia and decorations. Awesome staff. They've got a nice patio and some darts. Grab a quick beer or hang out all night at Jacks!

    I used to come here a lot in my 20s as an after spot. Fun place, good times. I didn't have food this time and can't remember getting food here before. It's a great casual spot for beer and a get together with friends. The service is friendly and attentive.

    Favorite bar in the neighborhood! Great prices, great beer selection, so many indoor and outdoor seating options, darts, and occasional live music. They've definitely spruced up the ambiance in the last year.

    I totally recommend Jack's Fire Dept if you're looking for a big patio to hang out in the afternoon, plus they do offer $9 for $20 Groupon deal which is a steal. We stopped by for some lunch and drinks on a hot afternoon. Beer selection wasn't the best out there, but good enough to quench your thirst. We were going to do the challenge, but since we had Thai food the day before, I guess our both ends are ready for anything spicy yet. We proceeded with two appetizers which were Burnt Brussels Sprout Chips (yum!) and Fried Calamari. As for entrées, we shared Ghost Pepper Grilled Cheese and Big Jack's Burger. Both items got some good kick of ghost pepper in them. Anyway, smoking is not allowed in the backyard, but you can smoke in the small patio on the side of the restaurant. Our waitress/bartender, Carolann was super friendly and attentive. I will definitely stop by again in the future.

    Wings!

    We still come here pretty often for dinner or a drink, especially when it's nice out. Just recently brought some friends from out-of-town in and they loved it so much, they can't wait to come back. Beer/shot special is now $7 instead of $5, but it's still a great value. The Big Jack's Burger is still one of the best burgers i've ever had, no doubt that it's the best one in Sunnyside. If you want a great atmosphere, with a friendly staff, awesome food, and reasonably priced drinks, stop in Jack's.

    I been craving for the best burgers near sunnyside so I went through Google type in as "best burger restaurants" in sunnyside. I clicked on the best 10 restaurants that had burgers. Some of the restaurant got me interested and Jack's fire Dept restaurant got me more interested in their burgers. I was greeted by a nice lady that worked behind the bar. She gave us the menu and gave us few minutes to choose what we wanted on the menu. I ordered the Jack's burger because on yelp I have seen great reviews on that burger. Also ordered nachos, and fries. The burger dish you could either get a salad or fries but I chose the salad. The burger was phenomenal! It had a little kick to it which I really loved about the burger. The fries were crispy and hot! Freshly made? It didnt felt like it was one of those frozen bags of fries. The nachos were okay nothing to complain about. The lady was very attentive asking how the foods were. I would definitely recommend to my friends and family. I would definitely come by more often and try other things on their menu.

    They have a TV screen on top of the urinal :)

    I been meaning to try this bar since its in my neighborhood and after seeing it in the show Bar Rescue. The bar it's nice and has a nice outdoor patio. I didn't get to eat just came for drinks and I just wished they had more than one bartender since it took forever to get a drink. It wasn't the bartenders fault she was working hard there were just way too many patrons for her.

    Not so good:( Not a good selection for vegetarians or gluten-free eaters. Bar food only. Probably a good place for drinks only.

    Cuisine: 8 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 8 Overall: 8 Four of us came here because I heard their fish and chips are very good. I am a sucker for this famous British/Irish deep fried goodness. Well, I can say without a doubt that this version is excellent (8.5/10) as described. The dish comes with three pieces that are crispy and tender. However, they gotta make a better tartar sauce than the ones they served in packets. Also, we switched out chips for onion rings. They were fantastic! I also really enjoyed their French Onion Soup (8/10) and the Shepherds Pie (7.5/10). The soup was flavorful without being too salty like most restaurants, while the pie had relatively fluffy mash potato with tasty ground beef mixture. The only item that was a slight letdown was the Chicken Pot Pie (6/10). The puff pastry was decent and so was the cream sauce. The problem was the overcooked and dry chicken breast meat. Our server was very friendly and always had a smile on her face. Btw, even though the space was basically a dive bar, the energetic 60's and 70's music was definitely a plus. Therefore, I gave it a slightly higher score for decor. All in all, this was a great experience.

And that is why I boycotted them. Everything was very lax at that time, with little enforcement from the SLA. In October, my partner and I headed back to try their Irish breakfast and to see how things had improved. At the time, a large party was being held in their backroom, and we were not prepared to wait forever. We asked to speak with the owner, Mike Peacock, and told him we had to be at church to ring the church bells. We appreciated his dedication to getting us our food on time, but to be really honest, the Irish breakfast was not the best that could have been made.

After debating about staying or going, we were told about table may actually be leaving soon so it'd be more like 5-10 minutes. The wing Special is a dozen wings for $11 and $7 for half dozen. It comes with one sauce and dip and $.75 extra for any more. We put an order of 2 dozen wings in with medium, mild, and Honey bbq Sauces plus blue cheese. There is also a $6 draft beer special. The wings came out piping hot and we're so delicious. I couldn't tell which sauce was mild or medium and when asking a busser, he said he didnt know which was odd. Staff should know what their condiments look like to tell the difference. Luckily the medium wasn't bad so I was able to try it also. The wings are a pretty decent size so I got full after about 5 and took the rest home. Our waiter Leah was very friendly and helpful. She checked on us just enough and was very attentive. It seemed like she was the only server that night so and it was quite busy. She handled it all very well.
