I eat breakfast here with my wife and nephew every two weeks. The cooking and service has consistently been excellent. Regina is our waitress and always anticipates our needs. She is super friendly and puts us at ease. We all like different items on the menu and have never had a bad experience. The restaurant is spacious and well-lit, so we always feel comfortable. Highly recommended! read more

Regina! :) is the best waitress at Jack's, and anywhere in the Bay Area, for a wonderful and friendly breakfast experience! My parents have been going to Jack's for breakfast every week for years and Regina is always there to welcome them with a huge smile and outstanding service. Regina IS Jack's for them; they adore her AND the excellent food! They really are of the best restaurants in the Tri-City area. Keep up the good work, guys!!! read more

Food was great- there was a mixup with our reservations- I had accidentally booked in Newark California versus the Pleasant Hill location. They were still able to see our table of three immediately. The mac & cheese items on the menu are fire! Nice they had Pliny the elder on the drink menu! read more

All of the above!!! Food Service with a smile the staff are always very helpful and friendly!!! Ambiance Kind regards, Martha read more

Jack's Restaurant - Love this place! It is a dependable go-to--despite being a chain, the food is consistently great. The drinks are strong, and the service is friendly and efficient. We visit often with family, and it never disappoints. There can be a wait, so calling ahead is recommended, but it's well worth it. Favorite dishes include the wedge salad and bacon mac & cheese, and our go-to starters--calamari and coconut shrimp--are always reliable. Location & Ambiance: Conveniently located at Newpark Mall near the freeway, with the added bonus of being able to walk around after your meal. The atmosphere is lively but not overly loud, even when busy (especially near the bar). They also offer a semi-private room for larger groups and outdoor seating on nice days. read more

Met a girlfriend for dinner one evening! We were seated as soon as she arrived. The restaurant environment was beginning to pick up. We were promptly greeted by our server . We placed orders for drinks and an appetizer and our entrees. We received our drinks and appetizers in a timely fashion. Not long after we began digging in, our entrees showed up, which meant our server did not pace them well. As my 4th time at Jacks restaurant, the food has not disappointed. I had the Chicken Marsala with polenta and spinach. The portions are substantial. I could not finish the meal and took it to go. As we left the restaurant was pretty full. It was a good time! read more

What comes to mind when you hear the name JACKS? Most people probably think of JACK N JILL. However, I'd like to share a nice dining experience I had in the Newark Mall area, complete with excellent staff, attentive servers, and delicious food. Recently, I visited this location with some friends, and I was thoroughly impressed. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by. I had a wonderful breakfast brunch there today, and it was truly enjoyable. So, the next time you're in the Newark/Fremont area, make sure to visit JACKS--you won't be disappointed! read more

Jack's Restaurant & Bar - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Newark, California

Tried their new smash burger and Mac n cheese Smash burger was good but not really a smash burger im used to. Patties more on the thicker side but still flavorful and a thick filling burger. Mac and cheese was good too. I'm not much of a Mac and cheese person but this was good. Hints of sun-dried tomatoes and the chili flakes in their had a nice kick to balance out the richness overall good comfort style foods here read more

I came to Jacks with my wife family, the last night we were staying in Fremont. This place is near my wife aunt place and she wanted to come here before we leave to go home. We came close to closing time so the parking was easily to find and we got seated quickly. The restaurant was not busy at all, with some guest inside. I got the New York steak 10oz at medium rare and asked just for fries as my sides. My wife got the grilled salmon for her dish and her mom and aunt got the California burger. It took some time for our food to come outm My wife like her salmon and also her aunt with the burger since that's what she always get. My New York steak color didn't look appealing to me but they cooked it to medium rare like I requested. The steak was okay, I was more hungry than anything else. I finished it quick and was still hungry so I ordered some Hot Wings since it was happy hour price. I like the Hot wings more than my steak and I asked for no blue cheese. The issue I had while dining here was it took three attempts and 3 different people at the restaurant to finally get a refill on my soda. Our waitress disappeared, the waiter who brought our food never came back and it wasn't until the manager came to ask us how we were doing to finally give all of us a refill on our drinks. read more

We came into town for a family reunion and decided to try out this place for dinner. They have nice people working here. He got here a little before happy hour ended so they got our drinks and appetizers in before it ended. That was so nice. There was a lot to choose from the menu but I went with some Greek appetizers and my mom and uncle got the pasta dish. My aunt got the grilled salmon salad and she said it was really good. All of the food was absolutely delicious. We shared the appetizers and had a great time. All of the staff are very attentive, we didn't feel neglected at all. The ambiance is casual dining, the restaurant is very clean and attractive. read more

From the moment we arrived, the service was excellent. The hostess stand was so kind and patient with our 80-year-old mom, allowing her time to decide what temperature and seating area would be most comfortable for her, inside or outside. That level of care really stood out. Our server, Alysa M, was fantastic. She immediately offered thoughtful suggestions for both drinks and meals, was knowledgeable about the menu, friendly, attentive, and incredibly efficient throughout the entire experience. The food was absolutely delicious. My brother and I both ordered the steak, and our mom had the Sautéed Petrale Sole. She is usually a very light eater, but she completely devoured her meal, which says everything! We left very impressed with both the food and the hospitality. We will definitely be back. read more

I'm surprised I haven't reviewed them yet. Their service has been pretty friendly each time we've gone. Our sick kid wanted comfort food and when he thought of mac & cheese, he immediately thought of Jack's. He really likes their bacon mac & cheese. Plenty of parking because the mall is basically empty aside from the few restaurants and 24 hr. fitness. Pretty clean environment and restrooms. Decent number of tvs to watch at the bar. Covered outdoor area is nice too. Kitchen has open windows so you can watch them cook. read more

My first experience here was excellent! We ordered the sausage breakfast, tuna melt w/ garlic fried , meatloaf sandwich w/onion rings , beef barley soup and cheesecake. everything was good but my favorite was the barely soup and the tuna melt . Tuna melt bread had a soft butter crispy crust and the flavor of the tuna was perfect . I enjoyed the onion rings especially with the dipping sauce . For starters we had the Beef and barely soup and that's when I knew I was going to like this place . I could have just ate the soup and would have been satisfied.. the soup was very tasty . My only complaint would be that the meatloaf sandwich could have used some cheese and a little mayo but other than that it was good . So I thought I was finished eating but my server Alysa somehow convinced us to order dessert lol . I had a really good experience, I have no complaints other than I had to unbutton my pants when I got in the car . I would like to shout out my server for being very attentive and making food suggestions considering it being our first time here .. I definitely will be back , especially for happy hour . read more

I finally went back to Jack's after several years (pre-covid time) and was inspired to give the lunch menu a try after ordering breakfast take out at the Saratoga location a month ago. This location is fairly large and the vibe is great! Excellent ambiance with lots of Christmas trees all around. The bar area is very inviting as well. We were seated promptly on a Sunday afternoon and greeted genuinely by Fee (spelling?) and also served by Amani. Fee was all smiles and we loved her positive attitude. She recommend the calamari and I knew we'd have to order that. Huge portion! Eats: *Calamari *Catfish Po' Boy + mixed green salad & ranch *Tuna Melt + fries *Patty Melt + fries I was debating between the first two and chose the po' boy-- best decision ever! Huge filet of panko crusted catfish, chilled cole slaw, and ciabatta bun toasted to perfection. Salad was a refreshing addition after the indulgent crispy calamari! They serve breakfast until 2pm and I've had the bananas foster French toast from Saratoga. It's amazing! Gonna get that next time when dining in. Happy Hour looks good too! Monday to Friday, 3pm-6pm, 8pm-close at the bar area. Parking has never been an issue. Lots of people enjoy Jack's and now I'm one of them! read more

I come to Jack's Restaurant & Bar very often, and the whole staff is always amazing, friendly, and welcoming. But today Felicia truly went above and beyond with her service. She was attentive, professional, kind, and made sure everything was perfect the entire time. You can really tell she cares about her customers and takes pride in what she does. Thank you, Felicia, for such a great experience -- definitely one of the best servers I've had here! read more

Jack's Restaurant & Bar - My receipt from the restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Newark, California

Located on the outside of the mall with plenty of parking . Went on a Friday night with no wait time . Had heated outside area but choose to sit inside due to it was way to loud outside . Our server Chris was very attentive and very friendly . Everyone kept checking on the guest and all seemed very professional and alert . Portions were large and pricing is average for today's food. Food was delicious and filling. Had the Moscow mule which was very refreshing unfortunately didn't have any flavors but no problems. 100% recommend and will go again. Bonus is movie theater next door so makes it perfect location for a dinner and movie night. read more

Food: Lamb burger (with french fries) Was the flavor of a gyro but in burger form. Would order this again. Service: Had some bigger tables (or areas to push together) as we had a big-ish party which also included babies. The wait staff had good "handles" in lifting plates and stuff, going between kids, nicely done. read more

Finally after seeing Jack's everywhere, I tried it out - and it was not bad all!! Happy hour after 8p! Let's goo. Jack's is a well-known, long-established spot for classic American comfort food. They offer a great selection of small bites -- meatballs, mac and cheese, pot roast (made fresh), calamari, pasta, other entrees and fresh bread -- all of which were surprisingly good and big for happy-hour portions. Any of their sauces are really good. They've also got a nice lineup of drinks, including beer, wine, and cocktails, so it's easy to find something that fits your mood. The decor is warm and inviting, they also play sport games at the bar. They even have a private room in the back if you're planning a group gathering or celebration. read more

I can't believe we've been coming here for three years now! It's become a staple on our Sunday afternoon restaurant list. We had never been for breakfast before, but this past Saturday my son had an early basketball game and didn't have time to eat beforehand. We got there around 11 a.m. and were seated right away. Our server greeted us quickly, took our drink orders, and got the kids' entrées started. She was very friendly, but unfortunately, I didn't catch her name. She had to go on break, and another server took over. We'd actually had him the Sunday before for lunch -- his service is a bit standoffish, and he seems like he doesn't really enjoy helping guests. It wasn't terrible service, but definitely not friendly either. Anyway, the food was great and everyone enjoyed their meal. The absolute star of breakfast for me was the hash browns -- perfectly crunchy on the outside, fluffy and creamy on the inside, and really well seasoned. We'll definitely keep coming back whenever we're in the mood for their delicious food. read more

We've been going to Jack's for years and have never been disappointed. Today, Regina and her team took excellent care of us. Substitutions were easily managed as well as splitting a dish between my wife and me. We were there with friends and we forgot to mention we wanted separate checks but that was easily handled. Keep up the good work! read more

I came back to jacks after 4 years of intermission, expecting a great meal as I had. Ordered: 1. Original martini with blue cheese olive. 2. Bacon lentils soup. 3. Code blue berger with bacon. The drink came first, after a few sips, I found that it is very salty, especially the blue cheese filled olives. And I ask for the soup first, after 6 spoons, I feel that it is very salty so I put it aside. Then the Berger comes in and after a few bits, I realize that all these are heavily on salt. I did however tried my best to finish most of the Berger and the onion rings and the drink, but the soup is just too much. I find it odd that the waiter didn't even bother to ask me why I didn't finish the soup, and just politely cleaned up without asking me if my meal was satisfactory. I did regardless tip him 18% due to the respect to living costs and such, however I still do not agreed with his attitude towards the quality of the meal. As to the owner, I will tell you that I will never go back and you can hit the road with your salty meals and under managed restaurants. FYI, I spent about $60. Which translates to what you will loose in many more times I will not patronize your restaurant. read more

This is for the staff who decided to not tell me the truth about how your HH is set up. I called to make a reservation for an important event this past weekend on the outdoor patio. I was told by the young man who answered the phone and the manager on duty (Nick) that there is HH everyday from 3-6. My father even came by to check out the space. So imagine my dismay when I called them to confirm my reservation and the woman (Mariana?) told me 1. that there is no HH daily and 2. she would check in and call me back with a solution. Mariana NEVER called me back. Didn't even try to rectify the situation. I guess customer friendliness and service is not on your list of things to do for people. I will never step into your restaurant. Train your staff better. read more

Always a pleasant experience here at Jack's! Staff is always lovely & quick to serve. The menu is pretty extensive & the food is delicious.

This used to be our favorite spot for breakfast and brunch, honestly one of the main reasons we'd even come to this mall. My usual is Elena's omelette, but lately it feels like the chef might have changed. The last one was a bit burnt, lacked cheese, and felt like it was missing something. Service is still fast, and our kids love the pancakes from the kids' menu, so that's a plus. read more

Been eating here at Jack's since the middle of the pandemic (2021) and so glad they've been in business since then at this location (i.e. especially in a declining mall). Great service and yummy foods! I still visit frequently for meals (breakfast & lunch) and occasionally for their happy hour menus. The restaurant is spacious (high ceiling) and lively for sporting events at the bar with the large TVs with atmosphere. I'm biased but I know there are several Jack's restaurants in the SF Bay Area but this one in Newark is my hometown favorite. I expect the same level of experience if I visit other Jack's I believe. Hope to meet fellow fans of Jack's here in Newark in the future. Cheers! read more

I stopped by Jack's and tried a few things. The Mediterranean sampler was really solid and flavorful, definitely the standout. The hollandaise on eggs Benedict was on point. The blueberry pancakes though, not great! They tasted a bit raw and just weren't doing it for me. The corn chowder soup was fine. Service was decent, no complaints there. read more

Came here for the first time because we kept hearing about it. Came here around 830pm. It's a quiet and cozy place . We ordered Mac and cheese because we heard that it's amazing. We did a half and half since I wanted to try different Mac's. Service was great! She was very attentive! The only part I find that was not okay was there was a worker that was setting the utensil on a table for the very next day I suppose? And he happened to drop the spoon on the floor... then he proceeded to pick it up and put it back on the table instead of swapping it out.. moments later he came back with more spoons and fork and instead of swapping it out, he proceeds to just set more utensil out on the tables.. read more

Everything about Jacks has always been great, however, today while I was trying to enjoy breakfast with friends in come 3 separate families or groups with massive dogs. Lazy Dog is right down the road. Barking and anybody walking through had to go around them because the owner couldn't bother to put one of them under the table. Seriously upsetting that the rude owners didn't even seem to care. Policy needs to change asap! read more

My husband and I came here to enjoy breakfast. We have not gone out in a while and our server was Fee. Fee has such a warm spirit about her. I wanted to just keep talking to her.

I was impressed by her service and grateful for the experience she gave us. The restaurant has an upscale vibe and very clean. We will definitely be back to see Fee. read more
