Rebekah was our server & I noticed her amazing smile before she even approached our table! She was so helpful & on point without over servicing. I will ask for her each time we come back! The food was delicious & prepared as we ordered it. read more

Food was amazing. Rebekah and Fernanda were awesome and had wonderful service. Rebekah has great energy and positive attitude!!!

I went in for breakfast around 10 AM on a Friday. The restaurant was moderately busy, but I was seated and my order was taken promptly. I was surprised at how quickly the food came out, and how quickly a request for additional butter was fulfilled. I had the Greek Scramble, which was made with Gyro meat instead of the ground beef I see at many other places. It came out quickly and was served very hot - not more than a minute or two since it came off the grill. The toast and hash browns were also hot. The staff was pleasant and attentive without being overbearing. The decor is tables, booths and dark wood accents throughout. It is not a quiet place, in part because of the semi-open kitchen. Overall, a delicious experience which I will repeat in the future. read more

Good traditional American brunch and diner vibe with a bar. Could use some updating of decor and menu, however, to be more on par with the Original Joe's restaurants. The server was good and attentive. The food, however, was just okay. I ordered a straightforward breakfast...the 2×2×2 (2 pancakes, 2 eggs any style, and 2 sausages or other choices being bacon, liquica or ham) for $17.95. The over easy eggs were made well but the pancakes, although nice and thick, were too dry. So for a simple breakfast, my experience wasn't anything exciting or more than okay or average. Perhaps if I tried another dish, might have been better. read more

This is one of my family's go to spots for breakfast. We went on a Saturday morning and as usual it was busy. This time they had us sit in the back room. Service wasn't too good today. Our server was all over the place and even messed up our orders even after we repeated it 3 times. The food was at least fresh and piping hot. Coffee and orange juice was on point. We ordered: 1. What the cluck: My aunt's favorite chicken and waffle. Chicken is nice and crispy. Portion itself is huge. 2. Corn beef hash: A standard staple but always hits the spot. 3. Chicken Fried Steak: Instead of getting toast, get a biscuit. Definitely, have to ask for extra gravy if you like it smothered like I do. Or you can also have the gravy on the side so the chicken fried steak doesn't get soggy. It wasn't as crunchy as I hoped but it's still good. Parking is definitely tough depending on the time you come. read more

"Make Great Food. Be Nice" Jack's Restaurant& Bar is a Bay Area institution. They have 4 locations throughout the Bay Area. We popped into the San Bruno location and enjoyed good food, fast, friendly service and great drinks. I went with the California Burger, that comes with sauteed mushrooms, avocado, jack cheese. I would definitely be back to try more of their menu. read more

Jack's is our go-to for a reason -- it's always solid, the prices are fair, and the service is consistently great. It's a big restaurant, so they can easily seat a large party, which makes it perfect for celebrations. We've done family gatherings here and it's never a hassle. My favorite is the salmon risotto -- creamy, with a hint of lemon and bits of wilted spinach mixed in. It hits every time. My family has tried a bunch of other dishes too: the cod with capers, sirloin steak, mac and cheese, and burgers, and everything has been delicious. The menu has something for everyone, which is part of why we keep coming back. Parking is usually not an issue either, which is a nice bonus. Reliable food, friendly service, and room for the whole crew -- Jack's checks all the boxes. read more

We came here for breakfast and had a really good meal overall. I ordered the Eggs Benedict, and my husband had the Fish Po' Boy. The Fish Po' Boy was absolutely amazing. We would definitely order it again! I liked Eggs Benedict as well. The only downside for us was the atmosphere. We really enjoy places with lots of natural light, especially in the morning, so we didn't understand why all the lights were turned on when there was already plenty of daylight. It made the space feel less cozy than we expected. I think, we would consider ordering delivery in the future. There are still several dishes on the menu that I'd love to try. read more

I've always passed by and heard of Jack's, but honestly, it never really caught my attention, even with their bright lit-up "Jack's" sign. After dining here for a double date, though, I was genuinely surprised. The food and service were both on point! FOOD: 9/10 ALCOHOLIC BEVS: 9/10 SERVICE: 9/10 AMBIANCE: 9/10 FOOD: 9/10 I loved that there was a wide variety of options without it feeling overwhelming. That said, a lot of the dishes sounded really good, so you might find yourself feeling a bit indecisive. I'm always a pasta person, so I ordered their Italian pasta, and it was BOMB. The portion size was perfect: filling without being too heavy. Everything was flavorful, well-seasoned, and most importantly, served piping hot. ALCOHOLIC BEVS: 9/10 They had a solid selection of drinks, whether you're into beer, cocktails, or hard liquor. I also thought their seasonal Christmas drinks were a fun and cute touch. SERVICE: 9/10 Our server, Cesar, was kind, funny, and very attentive. I really appreciated his service, especially how he never made us feel rushed, even though it was close to closing time. AMBIANCE: 9/10 Jack's was very comfortable to dine in and gave off a lounge-like vibe with multiple TV screens showing sports. They have a good mix of booth and table seating, which makes it great for both casual hangouts and group dinners. read more

We originally had reservations at another restaurant in the city, but they were canceled due to a power outage in the area. We quickly had to find an alternative and decided on Jack's. Despite the restaurant being pretty packed when we arrived, we were seated right away. Our food came out in a timely manner, and everything we ordered was delicious -- the shrimp scampi pasta, truffle fries, and rigatoni were all great. Our server was very friendly, and we were in and out within 30-45 minutes. We would definitely come back to try other menu items or even visit another location. There's a wide variety of options to choose from. read more

We have been customers of Jack's Restaurant & Bar in San Bruno for many years. In all honesty, at one of our first visits, I found the breakfast to be unexciting and dinner to be mediocre. So, we took a hiatus of a few years. Fast forward to post-Covid times when we rediscovered the restaurant just down the street from our house. From then to present day, Jack's has been one of our regular eateries from where we order take-out. Nothing wrong with dining in-house here, but since the pandemic, we have just gotten very comfortable with bringing food to eat at our own home. The venue always appears clean and tidy with a family friendly environment. My only complaint about their place is that the private parking lot is a bit tight, so parking large SUVs or bigger can be challenging. Good food at really great prices is what reels is in again and again. My #1 go-to is the GRILLED SALMON. At $25.95, it's a fabulous choice for a perfectly cooked fish with a side of broccoli and rice pilaf. I also love their CHOPPED CHICKEN SALAD ($21.95), but with crispy chicken instead of grilled. DJ is loyal to the BLACK SHEEP BURGER (VEGETARIAN) for $18.95 and the boys like their REUBEN ($19.95), RIGATONI DI POLLO ($21.95), CAESAR SALAD ($13.95) + Chicken ($5.95), and more. What is really worth mentioning is their awesome service, even when calling to place take-out orders. No mistakes EVER, something you can't say about many other places. In short, Jack's in San Bruno is a solid destination for yummy eats and perfect service. I can't comment on their other locations, but this locale gives a magnificent first impression of their chain. read more

My family and I went to Jack's for dinner and found an amazing deal! They offer an incredible Value Meal if you order before 6:00 PM. The early-bird special includes your entree plus a soda or tea, and your choice of a soup or salad--it is an absolutely fantastic value. ​Just a heads-up for anyone planning a visit: it gets very busy in the evening. By the time we finished our dinner, a crowd was already gathering and waiting for tables. ​Pro-Tip: Definitely try to arrive before 6:00 PM to beat the dinner rush and catch the best deals! read more

Reservations are a must if wanting to go during Early Bird Special. Not a lot of items to choose from if seeking the special but so worth it. Most items $25 which includes entree, soup or salad, veggies, choice of mashed potatoes or rice pilaf, and choice of coffee, tea, or soda. The NY steak is a little extra. Sourdough also brought to the table. Good sized portions and everyone was happy with their food. Service was great as well. No complaints. read more

Solid food - a must for me when I'm trying to catch the game with friends and family. A crowd favorite. This location is great for before I fly out or when I'm landing hungry. I love breakfast here but brunch/ lunch / dinner are good too. Their fish plates, burger and meatloaf is bomb. I don't ever order meatloaf out but it's one of my college buddy's favorite's so I've enjoyed. The salmon is a solid choice along with the Reuben and wraps. Oh and the fries are good - bet you can't eat just one! read more

This is my 2nd time to this Jack's location as the closer one to me is the one in San Mateo. I actually like this one a bit better for the seating arrangement in the side room as well as it seems a little more cozy. I did not know this but they have a Happy hour special from 4-6 where in addition to your entree you get soup or salad and a drink. We happened to go at 5:45 because we wanted to beat the dinner rush. I didn't know we would run into the happy hour rush, almost all of the tables were full there on a Saturday early evening at that time. Luckily there was a few open table so were seated immediately but the place was pretty packed. I got the Half fried chicken which was fried well and had good seasoning. Also was able to get an Arnold palmer for my drink. Half Lemonade, half Ice tea. Service was very good, drinks came out fast and the server and the manger stopped by a couple of times while dining to check to make sure everything was good. Overall it was a nice meal out with the family and would come back again. read more

Friendly welcoming restaurant with good food and nice decor. Parking lot always full. Got the lamb burger which was thick and juicy, and a side of fries. Meatloaf was huge and enough for 2 meals. Tried the churro waffle which was just ok, too sweet for my taste. Spanakopita was excellent read more

Great service, meh food. Food came out super quick though! Clam chowder: This was unlike any clam chowder we had before and we did not like it. It tasted like chunky potato soup and was gritty. Spaghetti Carbonara: This was ok! Needed more flavor and the chicken was rubbery. California Mac: Also very bland, we've had this at the San Mateo location and this tasted way different. To be honest, the San Mateo location was good, this location was not. The food was bland, and the ambiance wasn't great. It was so loud, it felt like you could hear everyone's conversations! I wouldn't come back to this location! On the plus, Jack's has good HH deals! read more

Came here on a Friday night, it was busy and poppin ' ! The hostess sat us right away and the waiters were attentive and fast. Our drinks and appetizers came out so fast. I had a frozen mojito mango flavored. My husband had a jacks sweet tea. We ordered the zucchini cakes and coconut shrimp. Loved both of it. I thought the shrimp needed a different sauce to dip in. I ordered a cup of the AVGOLEMONO soup. Still can't pronounce it but this soup is delicious and creamy. The chicken Marsala had a great amount of polenta. My husband couldn't finish the whole entree! My Asian chicken salad was good but needed more dressing. For dessert we ordered the caramelized banana split. The banana gave the crispy sweetness and great portion of ice cream ( vanilla, chocolate and strawberry) so good! Shout out to our server Cesar! He was above and beyond with waiter standards. I thought he was friendly and kept us hydrated and taken care of. I felt ease with this staff and restaurant! They all work fast and sufficient as a whole team. The place is casual but easily can be formal! Will come again but for the tuxedo cake and the raspberry lemon drop ;) read more

Jack never disappoints me. I came at 5 p.m. on a Friday night and was lucky that there was a table available at the bar. We started with a lemon drop and a margarita. For appetizers, we ordered the Asian wings, calamari, and chili nachos. We also ordered a New York steak meal, which comes with soup. The service was quick, as always. The place was about 80% full when I arrived. Parking can be difficult if the lots are full, but if you come after 5 or 6 p.m., you can park in the neighboring lot next door--just be sure to check the posted times. read more

Great service but the food we ordered was not so great. Bananas foster French toast $15 3.5/10: bf said "I feel like I just got diabetes from eating that." Their French toast and bananas is soggy and SWIMMING in syrup. The excessive amount of syrup makes this dish sickeningly sweet. I was forcing myself to eat more of it just because we paid for it and I was starving. We were unable to finish it and it wasn't because we were full. Homemade French toast is better than this, unfortunately. Classic breakfast burrito w pork sausage $16 4.5/10. Below average. I liked the crispy bits but overall, it was not worth the price. Not enough cheese or flavor in general. I was excited to try this place but I'm really disappointed with the quality of the food. read more

Jacks in San Bruno was jam-packed, which told me right away this is clearly a local favorite. The perfect place for a night with family, friends or love. The hospitality was on point from start to finish, even with how busy it was. I ordered my current go-to drink, a Jameson and lemonade, and then dove into the blackened catfish with veggies and mashed potatoes. I'm really glad I asked for lemon butter and melted butter on the side because the fish was a little on the drier side, but still very flavorful. Overall, the food, energy, and service made it a great experience. I'll definitely be back! read more

The classic burger with Swiss cheese & garlic fries $19.75 wasn't as good as last time. It was dry. They do give you a side of white truffle aioli sauce. It didn't help. Chef(s) were derelict tonight. When the burger first arrived, it didn't have garlic fries. I had to send it back. They fixed it within minutes. I didn't say anything but this burger usually comes with a slice of pickle. On the beer taps were Coors Light, Stella and Modelo. I picked Modelo $8. It came with a wedge of lime. It was my believe that lime wedges were only included with Corona, Dos XX, Pacifico or Tecate. This was refreshing as the tangy lime made it less sweet. The restaurant was full at 7pm and luckily I was able to get a seat at the bar. It died down a lot by the time I left. Good job bartender and wait staff at Jack's. read more

Came here for dinner with a couple friends and ended up having a great time! We got waited on by the lovely Kimberly, who checked on us frequently and also brought our food out in a timely manner. I wasn't too hungry so just got some tzatziki and warm pita bread as my main meal. My friends both got larger entrees but ended up taking the leftovers home. Everything was just delightful. I've been to various places that make different types of tzatziki and Jack's really knows how to make one on the yummier side. It was creamy, flavorful, and filling. Inside, the ambiance was pretty busy but everyone looked content with the overall service and wait time. Outside, parking can be a little challenging in their small lot, but if you have the patience to wait for someone to leave, it's doable. read more

Stopped by Jack's Restaurant & Bar in San Bruno for the first time for lunch with a friend and business partner, and it turned out to be the perfect mid-day win. Relaxed vibe, welcoming staff, and food that definitely punches above its weight. We kicked things off with the Mediterranean Sampler, and wow, every bite felt fresh and thoughtfully done. The tzatziki was cool and creamy, the cilantro-jalapeño hummus had a bright kick without overpowering, and the tabouli was light, herby, and refreshing. Add in the perfectly marinated olives and warm, pillowy pita bread, and it was the kind of starter that sets the tone for a great meal (and great conversation). For the main, I went with the Fish-N-Chips, and it did not disappoint. The Alaskan cod was flaky and tender inside a crisp, golden beer batter that clearly lives up to the "homemade" claim. Fries were hot and crunchy, the coleslaw added a nice balance, and the tartar sauce tied everything together beautifully. Comfort food done right. Overall, Jack's delivered on flavor, quality, and atmosphere, ideal for a business lunch that still feels enjoyable and unrushed. I'll definitely be back, and next time I'm bringing a bigger appetite. read more

Well ... I wrote a rave review about the French dip. So, let's see what's next? Right? Order a Ruben dinner, over cooked meat, minimal sauerkraut and very little dressing. Then there was tonight. 1/2 fried chicken, mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables. The outside of the chicken batter was dark brown (over cooked) the inside still had uncooked batter. Grease too hot. The vegetables must have been plated first because they were room temperature at best. Do I give them another shot? Someone intise me with something besides the Kentucky Mule. read more

Made last minute plans to watch the Niners game on a Saturday evening and surprisingly got seated right away! This is definitely a great spot to watch the game with great food. There are two rooms, one with two larger tv's, then the room with the open kitchen and smaller tv's at the bar. I found the tv's in the room with the kitchen to be a bit small, but it sufficed. The service here was excellent! We came at the second quarter and stayed until the end of the game, and we did not feel rushed at all, which I really appreciated. We were always being checked on, and when we placed food orders, they'd come out really fast. We ended up sharing a bunch of apps, main courses and desserts and everything was great' The calamari was a standout for the table, and we preferred the sweet potato fries over their garlic fries. Their mac and cheese portions are generous and perfect for sharing. The menu has something to please everyone in your party! This is a great spot to watch the game, but make sure to tip your servers a little extra since you're taking up their space for a long time! Will definitely be b read more
