This is Jack's restaurant, not Jack in the Box. Whatever you order, it will be great. Hamburgers are amazing, but a regular meal like Turkey with mashers and gravy is one of the many that they have. read more

Came here for dinner. Service was perfect. Food was really fresh. I had the prime rib dip and loved it. Food was really fresh. They have a great menu. I'm so happy to have this place so close to where I live. It will be a go to breakfast spot for us. In the mornings this place seems to be busy. I've seen folks waiting outside. They don't have a ton of seating which probably leads to the waits. Check this place out. Its a great spot. read more

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. read more

I love Jacks, but their service has gotten worse. I love coming here because it's so close to home, but lately they haven't been doing great. They have 12 workers 4 just walking down the aisles up and down, being no help not offering napkins or refills (which they do offer) it's pointless to have that many people. The same waitresses are rude, the only nice people are the busses greeting you. Please do better, and actually check on people!!! read more

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. read more

My husband and I stopped in for breakfast this morning. We love Jacks! The food is very good and the service is terrific. Husband recommends the omelet while I recommend their lemon cream (dream) pie read more

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. read more

Found this place on yelp and really enjoyed their food. Nothing fancy, but the flavors reminded me of something I'd eat at grandmas house.

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? read more

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. read more

Good menu choices, good food, good service. Line can be long to get in. No complaints.

service is consistently great food is good, menu has some variety been an Old Orcutt staple for many years! good spot for classic American cuisine, the beef and barley soup is a favorite of my husband's, their chicken wrap is really good and breakfast dishes never disappoint read more

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. read more

This place needs a lesson on customer service. Thank goodness they have buss people to do most of the work. Waitress was not friendly at all!

The waitress never came back to our table the buss girl brought us our check and took our money. Very disappointed!! read more

Jack's in Old Orcutt is extremely popular with locals, which is usually a good sign of quality food and reasonable pricing. The atmosphere is simple with a down-home, comfortable, and inviting style. Arriving just after the main lunch rush, there was still a bit of a wait for a table. However, once seated, our drink order was readily taken. Our efficient server, Kelsey, did an excellent job covering our area. Shortly after placing our order, it was promptly delivered. That's teamwork. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner is available all-day with solid selections. Jack's in Old Orcutt is open until 2 PM every day except Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday when they stay open until 8 PM. All in all, if you're looking for a good place to eat, whether breakfast, lunch, or dinner, Jack's in Old Ocutt is the place to go. read more

This place used to be great, but now, not so much. I've been a loyal customer for decades, and they always do me dirty. They never cook my food right, and overcharge me every time!?!?! Easy false advertising suit here. Look at the menu, and look at your bill? read more

Great diner for breakfast. Nothing to do in Borecutt so this place is packed on weekend mornings. Pooh bear approved.

Visited today for breakfast my favorite British Bangers & eggs! It's been 10 years and not disappointed yet! Great waitress service and refill support! Inside clean and welcoming. Great for 4-8 family or friends. read more

Food and service very good and nice being able to order 1/2 portions. However, expensive. read more

Service was very friendly and welcoming. Ambience was homey and welcoming. Food was subpar, especially the trip tip sandwich. My omelet was large but nothing special. The tri-tip sandwich was dry, and tough to chew, and the sandwich roll itself was small. We asked for some BBQ sauce to help with the dryness of the sandwich but it tasted like ketchup. Sweet Potato fries were soft and mushy. This place seems popular but we won't be coming back. read more

I wanted Tri Tip and all the other places in Orcutt were closed (a Tuesday of course). But Jack's said they had Tri Tip so we went there. I opted for the Tri Tip Dinner and the DW went with the Cod. I have cooked and eaten a lot of Tri Tip but was interested on how the Santa Maria style differed from they way I grill it. It came as "strips" of meat approx 3/4" to 1" in width and depth (?). I was expecting slices. I have no idea where on a Tri Tip the meat is only 1" deep but there it was. I asked for the meat to be medium rare but, after it was apparently grilled on the flat top, it was anything but. I did find a hint of pink in the middle of the biggest piece. The DW's Cod was promoted as being cooked over the same Santa Maria style grill as the Tri Tip. That may well be but it was also way over-cooked. It literally took a knife to cut the Cod. The salads were nice and fresh with a tasty Blue Cheese dressing. The french fries and mashed potatoes were also excellent. But the proteins left a lot to be desired. read more

As a local from the area for over 3 decades, it had been a while since I dined here. All I can say is expectations were surpassed and the food was delicious! Their breakfast items always deliver - if you ask for crispy hash browns and they give you crispy! I think this is the best breakfast spot in town! read more

I never made Jacks my breakfast place while I lived in Santa Maria and man do I wish I had. One of the best breakfasts I've ever had, I will be back everyone I go back to my hometown. Pancake on the side was huge and perfect. Coffee hit the spot and plenty of refilling. Great service all the way. Vaquero Omelette is a must have, honor the community and feast. read more

Jack's is always our go to breakfast spot in Old Orcutt. The portions of food are great to share or to be enjoyed by yourself. The service there is usually quick and the staff is friendly and attentive. The place has a great old school diner kind of vibe and that makes it feel like a cozy and great place to have breakfast. I particularly enjoy the waffles and French toast along with their old fashioned milkshakes. The club sandwich and BLT are great options for a larger breakfast meal. read more

Jack's has been a go to since I was a kid growing up here in Orcutt. I was afraid it would not be the same after being gone for over 20 years but it is just as good if not better than before. The interior has been renovated and looks great. The service is ALWAYS on point. This is the BEST breakfast spot in O-Town. read more

The food was delicious! We had the cinnamon raisin French toast and it did not disappoint! We smelled the BBQ so next time want to go for dinner read more

I did a carry out the breakfast burrito was amazing the hash browns were the best I've tried

Tried something new to me: chicken fried steak biscuit-wich -- meat on biscuit plus bacon and bacon with country gravy. Bacon & cheddar cheese overwhelmed steak & gravy flavors; biscuit too heavy. Loved the crisp flavorful coating on steak; unfortunately, cheese peeled off a little of it. Oh well, if I ordered again I'd omit the cheese and ask for bacon & biscuit on the side. Staff was warmly welcoming and helpful. read more

Best salmon salad ever! The only thing I ever order for lunch so can not comment on other offerings.

Omg how cute is this place in the cutest small town. We made a pit stop here for breakfast and ordered breakfast sandwiches which were simple and had that homemade taste to them. Not over the top just really comforting. We picked the food up to go since we had our dog with us but my bf said the guy behind the cashier was so kind. Thank you for a wonderful experience. read more
