Great service and good food. Sit inside or in the covered patio. Restaurant is very accommodating to parties of 6 or more.

Food is very good and pleasant are the servers and management. Convenient near home. The prices are reasonable.

Came here for a quick networking breakfast. The corned beef hash stands out compared to others I've tried -- well-seasoned with a nice crisp to it. Hashbrowns were good but I forgot to ask for extra crispy, which is on me. Great service and a welcoming space. Would come back. read more

Jack's Restaurant & Bar - Corn Beef Hash - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

Elevated diner (well made comfort food in a nice setting) with an unexpected Greek vibe. Jack's is an excellent spot for dinner with the family or a date. I've been a fan for about 10 years and absolutely love their French dip sandwich. Salads, mains and breakfast are all great too. Their empire also includes an attached Taproom and a nearby Mexican spot. They seem to be doing something right. Service is always friendly and efficient. Parking is a little tight at peak meal times but a short walk easily solves that issue. Very conveniently located if you're seeing a film at the nearby movie theater. read more

Always a great dinner at Jacks! Dinner after a movie was fast and service was on it! We enjoyed large martinis and great food. I had my usual- the bay shrimp salad (olives feta shrimp hearts of palm). The smash burger is really exceptional here! And don't forget the best garlic fries around. read more

Oh my! Does this restaurant get busy on a Saturday night! I've been here for lunch but never during dinner. The wait was about 30 minutes but we only waited for 10 minutes for a party of 3. Not bad! I always thought this restaurant looked pretty inside, especially the staircase in the main dining room. They sat us outside in a heated patio area; but I prefer sitting indoors instead. The dinner menu was more than I expected. So many options and I was so happy to see my favorite soup on the menu, Avgolemono -- Greek soup. Our waitress was very attentive and always checking on us. During this visit, we ordered the lamb meatballs, Asian chicken salad, chili mac n cheese, and shrimp louie salad. Of course I ordered my cup of favorite soup! My Asian chicken salad was ok. There wasn't that much chicken in my salad, it was mostly lettuce and fried won tons. Loved my soup as always, but in all honesty, I wasn't fond of the meatballs. It had a spicy kick to it and it just had an overwhelming taste of cinnamon. It just wasn't for me. Overall dining experience was top tier but the food was ok. The bread was a bit hard and definitely not ordering the meatballs again. The portions were perfect and the service was great. I do plan on trying the other dishes on the menu when I come back. read more

We came to celebrate a birthday with our family. We were greeted and seated fairly quick. Hubby and I shared the double smash burger with sweet potato fries and a Caesar salad. I also ordered their Jack's G and T drink which hit the spot to mellow out after a long day at work. Our server was good she checked on us frequently through the time we were there. Our food came out pretty quickly after the calamari appetizer which was good since we had a toddler with us. The place is big lots of seating inside and outside and it gets pretty loud too. Back to our food, it was good and glad hubby and I shared too. The portions are huge. There is something on the menu for everyone. read more

Visited on a Saturday around 11:45 and the place was packed which was a good sign. The restaurant is spacious and there was plenty of room to walk between tables. My sister and I were able to snag two seats at the bar right away but there was a wait for tables. The bartender was friendly and attentive so our beverages stayed full and our order was placed very quickly. The Ruben was very good, I order them a lot from various places and was impressed with the quality. We ordered it with a side of onion rings and they were great too. The chicken sandwich was a bit overdone and not quite what we were hoping for because it was so tough to chew but the sweet potato fries were great. Overall a good experience and will visit again. read more

My husband and I enjoy dining at Jack's. It's truly a gem in Pleasant Hill. The atmosphere is always upbeat and offer great service. We dined in the bar area which has half-done bench seats. It was very comfortable. Our server/bartender name was Jack. He was very nice and friendly. My husband ordered their smashed burger with fries. It was good, but had soggy buns. LOL. I had their Tutto Mare, which is my favorite seafood pasta. The serving is BIG and I always take some home. Jack, our server, asked if I wanted him to pour the leftovers in the box. I accepted his offer. This was a nice touch. If you're looking for an American, comfort food restaurant, Jack's Restaurant is worth the experience. read more

Jack's is such a great spot for a comforting breakfast! The blueberry pancakes were absolutely delicious--fluffy, flavorful, and a must-try. We also ordered the standard breakfast, which comes with eggs any style, crispy hash browns, toast, and your choice of meat. The chicken apple sausages were a standout: thick, delicious, and you get three of them--a really generous portion of protein with the eggs. The corned beef hash was also tasty and well-seasoned. I tried the hot chocolate too; it was a bit sweeter than I prefer, but still a nice treat on a chilly day. We also had a kid in our group with gluten and dairy allergies, and the staff offered options and were very accommodating, which was great to see. Service overall was friendly and attentive. Another big plus: lots of seating. Even at 12 PM on a Sunday, we didn't have to wait for a table. It's a large, busy place, but it runs smoothly. Definitely recommend Jack's for a hearty, satisfying breakfast and great service! Lunch and dinner options also available so we'll be trying those next. read more

Great spot in downtown pleasant hill. My grandma loves the French dip and they have a good selection of entrees and appetizers. I usually get one of their burgers or their Mac and cheese. Servers are all very nice and the seating is very comfortable. It's a little pricy but a good spot to go for dinner if you want to go out. read more

Was craving some soup, Jacks is close to my house so I called to ask what soup they had and was told Potato Leek. I placed an ordered for the bowl size to-go as that was a medium based on the available sizes they had and I was hungry. Upon arriving for pick up, I was told my soup was being made because they ran out and it would be a bit before it was ready. I asked if maybe I should order something else because I was unsure if the soup would be good if they were just making it. The host who was helping me said it would be even better because its fresh and that it is a tasty soup with lemon and chicken. I asked, Potato Leek soup has lemon and chicken? He said, oh no, I put in the wrong item for you, let me go back and check. He then came out with the potato leek soup to go. I paid and left. Upon arriving home, I sat down to eat the soup. This is the most disappointing, flavorless, odd consistency soup I've ever had in my 51 years of life. I had about 4 spoonfulls hoping it would grow on me but no, it didn't. The consistency was like a more finly pureed malt-o-meal, no chunks of potatos or leeks, just a bland pureed no flavor mal-o-meal. Or even if you watered down instant mashed potatoes to a soup consistency is the best way to explain it. It didn't taste like leeks or potatoes, just a complete lack of flavor. Needless to say, I had to toss the soup in the garbage with only 4 teaspoons eaten from it. What a waste of my money on the smallest "bowl" of soup anyone could ask for. DO NOT ORDER the Potato Leek Soup unless you like to spend $11.28 after tax and tip on instant mashed potatoes that have been watered down to the point of being able to drink it thru a straw and has zero flavor. read more

I drove out to the East Bay to meet up with family for dinner in Pleasant Hill at this wonderful restaurant named Jack's restaurant & Bar. My sister and uncle arrived before me so they ordered appetizers of chicken wings both buffalo and Korean wings as well a the Mediterranean platter not pictured since we tore it up expeditiously. My sister got full on the appetizers lol. My mom ordered the chicken Alfredo... my youngest nephew the chile nachos, my eldest nephew the spaghetti and meatballs, my uncle the Shrimp Louie salad and I ordered the Bay shrimp said with a glass of Pinot Noir. We all sampled each other's dishes and let me tell you the chefs did not disappoint. I loved my bay salad it was so refreshing and I love the amount to shrimp to heart of palm ratio. The chicken Alfredo had the perfect amount of sauce and broccoli and chicken and the pasta was cooked to a perfect al dente. My nephew's nachos looked good but he ate them up so fast I didn't get to try them, but the presentation was nice. My other nephew's spaghetti and meatball were superb and delicious you can tell they make their own marinara and my uncle's shrimp Louie was huge and delicious the amount of shrimp was crazy and well worth it. Our waitress Janell was amazing and made sure we had everything we needed. She even made sure my little Maverick had water. By the way the patio is dog friendly! I will definitely be back and I highly recommend Jack's restaurant if you have or haven't checked them out. They do not disappoint. read more

Jack's is great for no matter what you need. From breakfast to dinner, they have a wide variety that can make any family or group happy with options. All of the bartenders are great and quick with service. Recently, I went with family and was a bigger group of 8 and Jamie gave us great service and was so helpful and pleasant. We started with a couple of mac and cheeses for the table which were demolished. There were good options for the kids and the youngest was amazed by how big the chicken tenders were. She kept holding them up and showing us. I've never ordered dessert here but we ordered a tuxedo cake and a scoop of chocolate ice cream for our chocoholic in the family and Jamie went above and beyond with the cake. Overall a great experience and has now become a part of the rotation for the family - especially for the service and variety of options to make everyone happy! read more

I've visited this Jacks a couple of times and every time we had the best service. The food was amazing with good portions and the desserts are so delicious.

TLDR: Easily one of the best burgers I've had in the area and the best garlic fries I've ever had. Jack's is really great! Love the location and just love the vibes of the place. It's nice looking while being cozy. We sat outdoors and the patio space is very nice. Though the seats did hurt my bum a bit! My wife and I each got a burger and they were both real damn good. Very well cooked, with crispy bacon and very crispy bacon. My wife got the standard burger and the bun was great. I got the sunset boulevard burger and I loved the avocado and sauce, though the sourdough bread just wasn't my favorite. Either way, though, this burger ruled and was so tasty. OH and the garlic oregano fries? To die for. So addicting and crispy. For drinks I got one of their rotating hazy ipa's--great. My wife got their Strawberry Smash and it was also great. Sweet with some tartness, and you could still taste the alcohol which was nice. A great place to bring your friends and/or family with good food. We'll be back for sure. read more

I've been meaning to try this place. I was hoping it would be a mini Cheesecake Factory (tasty and seasoned American food). The customer service was average. The waiter was not knowledgeable and he did not recommend any items on the menu. I wanted Calamari but unfortunately there was no more calamari I got a Cobb salad with grilled chicken (chicken taste freezer bought) salad very average. The fries were soooooo good! I only ate a few and it was worth my "sneak a carb bite" lol My drink was stiff, tasty and strong enough for me . If I go back it will be for fries and a drink. read more

Ummm YUM! Came for a quick lunch. Tried the grilled chicken pesto sandwich with oregano and garlic fries. Hearty meal, could easily feed two people or have leftovers for another day. Service is amazing. Literally have three servers rotating and checking the table/ guests. Ambiance is modern. They have a separate bar area wheee you can grab a beer or two and watch whatever is playing on the television. Parking can be challenging to find as this area is pretty busy with all the other establishments around. read more

"I had a really great experience at Jack's! I ordered the French dip sandwich and it was so flavorful and perfectly done. We also had the calamari as an appetizer, and it was delicious. Everything was very good, and the wine was excellent. They even had Pliny the Elder, which is a great limited/seasonal beer you don't always find--such a nice bonus. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was friendly and attentive. Definitely a place I'd come back to!" read more

We've had many great meals at Jacks in Pleasant Hill. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Service is always good. I recommend always making a reservation, to avoid potential waits. It's a big restaurant, with indoor and outdoor seating. Lunch outside, on a beautiful afternoon is quite nice. There is a pretty sizable menu to choose from, providing something for everyone, even my vegan friend who we had dinner with last week. It can get pretty loud when they are busy, making conversation a challenge and while parking can be a pain, it's not as bad as at The Veranda. read more

You would think for the cost and the fact it's JACKS you would get roasted turkey instead of deli fake turkey loaf. Ugh.

Yummy classic American cuisine with generous portions. Came here for a working lunch with my colleagues and we were able to sit outside and work on our report. We all enjoyed our meals very much. My fried chicken salad was fresh and filling and the ranch dressing was delicious. Their menu is extensive with lots of options to choose from. Reminds me of the Cheesecake Factory menu. Our server was kind and patient as we took awhile to order our food due to all the options. The restaurant has two large dining areas and above the bar are large flatscreen TVs everywhere. Great place for happy hour and large parties. I will definitely be back to watch some sports and enjoy happy hour. There is plenty of parking near the restaurant. read more

They provide a great menu with many tasty and well prepared items. And for those with a smaller appetite, there's a kids menu ( I admit to ordering the kids breakfast on certain Sunday mornings - an egg, French toast and two pieces of bacon is just right). The servers have always gotten our orders correct and it is service with a smile. Love the fact that Al fresco dining is an option especially if the inside is quite busy and the volume a bit too high for me. read more
