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

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

The food selection is fantastic, ranging from breakfast to dinner. The drinks from the bar are equally good. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. Overall, I highly recommend this place and would give it a perfect 5/5 stars! 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

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

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

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

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

Perfect spot for brunch and lunch! They serve a variety of food like pastas, pancakes, french toast, omelettes, and much more! I enjoyed the omelette and it was a perfect serving! Restaurant was really clean and the servers were so friendly and checking up on us! We felt welcomed and we were not rushed at all. Great 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

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 recently visited this restaurant on Mother's Day, and unfortunately witnessed what I considered to be very unprofessional behavior from a manager, who I believe was named Mirianna. A server was in the middle of taking a customer's order when the manager spoke to her in an aggressive and disrespectful manner in front of a restaurant full of customers. It was uncomfortable and embarrassing to witness, especially on a holiday meant to be warm and celebratory. I felt terrible for the employee, and honestly, if we had not already ordered our food, we would have left. The incident made it difficult to fully enjoy my meal afterward. No employee should be spoken to that way publicly, especially in a customer-facing environment. Professionalism and respect toward staff are extremely important, and this interaction reflected poorly on the overall dining experience. 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. There's plenty of seating & our party has never had to wait to be seated even during busy brunch hour. Def need to stop by for Happy Hour in the near future. 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

Stopped in today to have a quick lunch before heading to Costco. Lela greeted me and handed me a menu. I let her know I needed a few minutes so she let me peruse the menu. I ended going with the Asian chicken salad, sub salmon and no wonton strips. I also got the cucumber cocktail. It had Hendricks gin, elderflower liquor, cucumber, and soda. Very refreshing and tasty. My salad came out and I was very surprised at how big the piece of salmon was! Perfectly cooked and the salad was amazing. The menu stated that they make all of their dressings in house. Absolutely delicious! I will definitely be coming back with my partner for another lunch. read more

I remember going to Jack's at its prior location, and this new space is clearly a major upgrade--much more modern. I've also been to their other location in the San Jose/Saratoga area. I'm a big fan of the food, service, and overall ambience. It was a lot of fun watching the Warriors game here with a lively, loud crowd--just wish we'd pulled off the win. read more

We came in on a Saturday for brunch with a reservation for a party of 14. Our table was set and ready to go for us as we walked in. Our server, Angel, greeted us after we had settled in and took our drink orders, as well as the orders for the kids so they could get their food before the rest of us. Shortly after, a disgruntled patron a couple tables away from us in the sunroom was having a heated discussion with Angel. Angel walked away, visibly upset. He returned to our table to take the rest of our food orders, with continued professionalism. As our food started coming out, someone went to the disgruntled customer's table to, I assume, diffuse the earlier situation. Cool, all is well, and everyone can enjoy their meals. Or so we thought. As the disgruntled patron was walking out of the door, he continued his verbal tirade of Angel with harsh language and threats of physical action. Then suddenly the disgruntled customer throws his to go box at the hostesses hitting several people with his leftover food. Several employees began quickly cleaning up the mess. Obviously shaken up, Angel impressively returns to our table to check up on us, offering drink refills and apologizing for the disgruntled customers behavior. We assure him that it wasn't his fault. The manager, Augusta, also comes to our table to check up on us with civility and kindness. Food was good, atmosphere was great, service was impeccable. Thank you Angel and Augusta for keeping our celebration brunch a favorable experience. read more

We checked out Jack's on a whim as we had some relatives in town who wanted pasta/American food. Decided to check out this Greek American restaurant. We liked the avgolemono soup as well as the polenta and baked fish and pastas which all tastes fresh and were well seasoned. It's not everyday that you can find a place serving avgolemono soup so highly recommend to try. We also tried the Spanakopita, I agree with some of the other reviews here that the Spanakopita can probably be skipped, the bottom dough was soggy and doughy, which was rather disappointing. Great attentive service from our servers. Overall great value for the amount of food you get in a relaxed atmosphere. read more

Searching for a new happy hour spot and came across Jack's. There were plenty of options on the happy hour menu and we tried the gyro pizza, chili nachos, lamb sliders and the calamari. The gyro pizza and chili nachos tasted like I could have made them at home. Nothing special and very small portions. The lamb sliders only came with 2 sliders. The calamari was super good and crispy. Unfortunately, I did not feel satisfied after my happy hour experience here and will continue the search for the best happy hour spot! I would like to add that our server was amazing! So friendly and attentive, and gave us a last call for happy hour without us even asking. read more

A great place for good American fare. They serve a hearty breakfast and equally hearty lunches. I had their American Burger with Cheddar Cheese with Fries. A 1/2 lb. Of beef, cooked to perfection. It came with lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles. I ordered medium well, while I normally order medium rare. But the meat was flavorful. The French fries were crispy and delicious. All in all it was a pleasant experience. read more

5 star review for Fee. In terms of the rest of the experience forget about it The customer is always almost right. Ordered two whiskey sours which was great. We ordered another round but this time of old fashions and that shit was fugazi(terrible). Reported to multiple servers showing our inconvenience but that didnt help. The pictures attached ( the glass with about less or half poured was not it at all but was our served drinks) Our server was Fee, she deserved a 5 star rating. The other server who helped, checked up but no convenience when we escalated the dissatisfaction. read more

We had the friendliest waiter. I think his name was Joe. He was also attentive. My friend and I got the early bird specials. The Avgolemono soup was very flavorful. My friend really liked her salad. I had blackened salmon and my friend had grilled salmon and both were cooked perfectly. The vegetables did not have any seasoning, but I wasn't surprised. Most restaurants do not season steamed vegetables. I wasn't surprised happy with my meal and I will be back. read more
