    Wasn't great but wasn't terrible either. Regular breakfast spot that didn't "wow" my partner and I. I visited around 9am on a Sunday and there was no wait for a party of 3. Plenty of parking as well. The gravy for our chicken fried steak and eggs were extremely salty. The muffin was dry and hard. The lady that greeted us and sat us must've woke up on the wrong side of bed. But again, not a terrible spot. Overall, good try.

    Tri-tip sandwich
    Adanari Z.

    Charming little mom & pop restaurant. Their smoked meats caught my husband's attention and we decided to grab a quick bite. Staff was very nice, quick service, and clean restaurant. Their food is good. Your run of the mill kind of diner food. Big portions for a decent price which was nice. Loved their thick cut steak fries.

    Tri-Tip Salad

    I just figured out about prime rib Friday nights. What a deal and a delicious meal for $30!

    "Senior Menu" Meatloaf .  Also included choice of soup or salad.

    Food: 4.25. Came back for their Chicken Fried Biscuit-Wich. Such a great breakfast item. Homemade biscuit with sandwich sized chicken fried steak, crisp bacon, cheese, country gravy, and optional egg. Food came out timely and at right temperature. Next time I will ask for a little more gravy. If not enough gravy, sandwich can be dry because of the biscuit. A side of gravy is $3. Potatoes were good but oily.

    Delightful French toast!

    There's an answer as to why there always seems to be a wait at Jack's in Old Orcutt. And the answer is that the food is really good, the service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is welcoming. Kate, Richard, and I made our way to Jack's in Old Orcutt for breakfast (late) just last Sunday. I thoroughly enjoyed my BLT with no B as I'm a vegetarian (I wish they had more vegetarian options other than eggs dishes as I don't eat eggs), but with A as in avocado. Richard seemed to enjoy his American breakfast, while all three of us delighted in the order of French toast he put in at the last moment. Kate was impressed with her egg whites and fruit. The free candy in the little bucket at the exit is very special. One more note: the potato salad was muy bueno. Tell me Jack's in Old Orcutt...is it made on the premises?

    Breakfast sandwich 1/2.

    This place is an old school diner that has been here for a very, very long time. It has changed owners, but it is still just as good as always. Wonderful place for comfort food. They serve biscuits and gravy, breakfast sandwiches, omelettes, waffles, blah blah blah. I have never been here for lunch or dinner, but I am A breakfast regular. It's at the corner of Union and South Broadway. Plenty of free parking on both sides of the street.

    Chicken melt with onion rings
    Neville S.

    Have come here off and on for past year with my wife, it is one of our favorite spots when we want a quiet evening. The place has changed a bit since my first visit in 2003 when Jack's was known for their humongous-sized burgers, but the food continues to be delicious. I've had various breakfast menu options the last three times, but this time I wanted to try the chicken melt. It was very very good. Probably my favorite thing there so far. Onion rings were good, and for a side there was an abundance of them! Didn't get the waitress's name, but she was helpful and provided good service.

    This place is still going strong. You cannot beat the portion size for their prices anywhere. We go almost daily there.

    Tri-Tip Dinner (senior)

    We had the tritip senior meal and it was absolutely amazing! We had fast, friendly service. In a very hometown feel restaurant.

    A decade later and this spot is still excellent!…read more I customized Kay's Orcutt Original into a scramble instead of an omelet. It wasn't a pretty plate, but it tasted great. Definitely get the hash browns with whatever you order. Sitting at the counter gave me a front-row seat to the kitchen prep.

We normally sit in the open patio/sunroom area, which has a really nice country-style atmosphere, and the food has always been good. Our waiter was also very nice, courteous, and attentive, so I have no complaints about the service he provided. Unfortunately, this visit was very different because we were seated directly in front of the area where the kitchen staff was cooking, prepping, and washing dishes. Throughout our meal, I could hear several members of the kitchen staff joking around and talking loudly. Horseplay among coworkers normally wouldn't bother me, but the language being used was extremely vulgar. Most of it was being said in Spanish, and I got the impression they assumed the customers nearby didn't understand Spanish. One phrase in particular, "a la verga," was being repeated constantly -- "vete a la verga," "a la verga esto," "a la verga lo otro," over and over again. Without getting into a literal translation, it is an extremely vulgar phrase, roughly equivalent to repeatedly saying things like "fuck that, fuck him" and roughly translated to they can eat a dick, he can eat a dick, they can eat a dick. I was sitting there with three young children who understand Spanish, trying to enjoy eggs and hash browns with my family while listening to this language coming from the kitchen over and over again. That's simply not appropriate in a family restaurant. Eventually, I got up and approached the kitchen staff myself. I politely asked them, in both Spanish and English, if they could please keep the vulgar language down because I had young children with me. The employee who had been using the phrase the most acted as though he didn't understand what I was saying and then pointed me toward another employee wearing a blue polo. I explained the same thing to him -- that we were trying to enjoy a family brunch and could clearly hear the constant vulgar language. Unfortunately, he seemed uninterested, appeared to be in a hurry, and essentially brushed off my concern. I didn't believe he was the manager because I would hope a manager wouldn't handle a legitimate customer concern that way. I later spoke with the actual manager, who told me she would address the issue with the kitchen staff, which I appreciated. The food was still good and our waiter did a great job, so my complaint isn't about them. It's specifically about the professionalism of the kitchen staff and the way my initial concern was handled. My recommendation to families with young children would be to ask to sit as far away from the kitchen area as possible. And if you hear this type of language, say something. Employees should be able to joke and enjoy working together, but repeatedly using extremely vulgar language loud enough for customers and children to hear is unacceptable in a family restaurant.

We ordered a BBQ chicken pizza which was surprisingly delicious and the wife ordered a beer. We sat in the bar area and I decided to go with the self pour option where they give you a card to tap a sensor and select any beer on tap to pour yourself. Me and a buddy of mine had some issues with a few of the self pour taps where we just believed they were out of beer and it also over charged us. I told a server about my single issue where it over charged me and he said he would take care of it but my friend had the worst of luck. 2/3 beers he attempted to pour were simply out. This was when Jess, our savior came to the rescue. When it was time to pay the tab, she comped both of our orders. Mind you, I had 4 beers. Guess what the total was? Yeah, $28. Paid for my wife's beer and our pizza and because I had a single complication with the beer self pour station, she comped the 4 beers I had as well as my friend's order. This is Grade A customer service and a reason why I'd return to Blast 825 Brewery, so shoutout to Jess! We all appreciate you.

Almost didn't come here as thought we'd end up with the same... Upon walking in we were greeted by hostess right away asking if we wanted to dine in bar, dinning room or patio. It was a nice night and contemplated patio but the bar lounge area looked inviting and chose the space with hair on hide backed booth and comfy chair. I settled in the corner booth, it was so comfy. Such a nice treat from the night before on hard wooden chairs at that other place... Our waitress was so nice and friendly. She was slammed but very attentive. Sitting back and watching the very busy bar, you saw locals coming and going and staff knowing them all. So encouraging. We settled in on the Bullseye, the largest version aka Ribeye and shared it. I went ahead and added an extra salad for me and just shared the rest of sides. Comes with a shrimp cocktail with the babiest shrimp, I've never seen them that tiny. I don't rate sea food so I just watched. The hubs likes sea food but prefers fried shrimp. He ate a few bites but again it's not really his thing. I got the side salad with ranch and he got clam chowder. He loved his clam chowder. I was pleasantly surprised at the mixed green salad. Everything was great! Steak cooked perfectly with great taste and tender. Baked potato was so good. The beans had a great taste, I'm not a huge bean person but something was up and I enjoyed a few bites and two slices of bread drenched in the bean gravy juice, so good! I asked for a side of chimichurri sauce (saw it on the menu), I used that for my steak and it was a great flavor adder; it didn't need it I'm just a sauce condiment person. We were stuffed but I decided to get dessert to go. Settled on the flourless chocolate mousse cake. Before leaving notice a couple tables over had what looked like a chocolate cake square with ice cream on top. I was hoping that wasn't what I ordered... because I was expecting more torte/mousse. Upon arrival at our RV I checked and yes I got what I was expecting! Even stuffed I just had to have a bite, OMG! So amazing. The slice of mousse cake/kinda like a soft torte came with fresh raspberries, strawberries and mint. A bite of that chocolate with a berry was heaven! The restaurant has such a great feel, think decor you'd find at ranches in Texas, plush seating, cattle pictures. We felt at home and can't wait to come back. Planning on the hubs getting his chowder us sharing beef skewers and a twice baked potato. He might just get two bowls of chowder! Then more dessert as they have a pastry chef on staff who likes to change up offerings.
