    California Burger
    Pete S.

    "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.

    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.

    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.

    This is your family Sunday breakfast spot. I sat at the bar. The bartender was cute and friendly. I tried their chicken omelette, which I never had chicken in an omelette before and it's become my go to. Too family oriented for me. I'm looking for a girls that brunch spot.

    Cute spot with a full bar and large screens playing sports . Luckily FIFA right now. Got seated quickly and love that you can see the kitchen and food being made. Food was excellent. Only downfall was drinks came after the meal arrived and sprite was flat . Other than that great experience. Will return again .

    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.

    Fries and rigatoni pasta
    Jenny L.

    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.

    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.

    Food is good depending on what you order, service is ok depending on how your server's mood is, ambiance is different depending on the time of day.

    Chicken tortilla soup
    Michele T.

    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.

    MONTEREY OMELETTE
    Ben C.

    Local and reliable restaurant filled with various great dishes. The family can always find something they want and have been going here for years. The service makes you feel comfortable and the place is cozy. Sometimes it is hard to get into on weekends, but definitely worth it.

I've been exploring all the breakfast burritos in SanFran but this place is now also at the top of my list! I ordered a breakfast burrito with sausage and was happy with all the fillings - chunky potatoes, good amount of egg, onions, tomato, and chunky pieces of sausage in a spinach tortilla. (Instead of protein, my friend added avocado instead. And you can choose different types of tortillas - flour, whole wheat, spinach, and others) Just overall good and very filling. Not huge but not small either. The only thing I missed was salsa to put on it. Tapatio packets were given instead. (To be fair, these are Latin American-inspired breakfast burritos not "Mexican" burritos with salsa on the side.) Great breakfast burrito! Looks like there are other dishes to try. Lots of people were also there on Sat morning and enjoying their breakfast. Plenty of tables. We'll be back!

There were three hungry people at our table, and we all enjoyed our breakfast. We shared the pancakes, bacon, and sausage, so we got a little bit of everything. The pancakes were definitely a must -- after all, you can't go to the Millbrae Pancake House and not have pancakes! Our waiter, Bladamir, was very nice, helpful, and attentive. He really made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Now, parking was another story! If you live in the area... you probably already know! We especially loved the ambiance and decor.

At my seat (depicted) you get live behind the scenes of a kitchen. Me personally, I enjoy watching my food being cooked in front of me, so I enjoyed it. I originally went because of looking at the prices on an image on yelp. It was $16 for sausage, eggs, hash browns, and pancakes. That's a great deal! But, once I got there inflation kicked it up to $18. Not the biggest difference to deter, but just letting everyone know the real price. I got pancakes, eggs, hash browns, and bacon (depicted). The eggs were good, pancakes were very good, hash browns were okay, and the reason for 4 star instead of a 5.... the bacon. The bacon wasn't crispy and cooked to order. It was chewy and I guess they cook it before and then heat it up on the griddle after. It is super noticeable from the taste, but especially from the texture. I would recommend this place to anyone, but just be aware with the vital advice I wrote.

My pork chop dinner included soup or salad, slice of toasted and buttered sourdough, potatoes or rice, vegetables and choice of dessert. All for just under $30 before tip. The meal was as expected for a '60s coffee shop. Salt is the dominant seasoning. The turkey and rice soup was a smart way to use leftover ingredients. The boiled red potatoes were good. The two thin pork chops were supposedly marinated, but I couldn't tell from tasting them. They were over cooked--dry, tough and needed some herbs. DH had the cheeseburger with potato salad and praised the meal. He also devoured my dessert--ice cream with chocolate sauce. Service was friendly and efficient, making me want to return. Next time I'll have something like a sandwich or burger.

There were plenty of empty tables, but no one was really taking orders, so we ended up waiting around 30 minutes when it should not have taken that long.

The service once you're seated isn't the best either. The workers don't really come around to check on you, so if you need water or anything else, you pretty much have to flag someone down. Even for to-go boxes, napkins, etc., you have to get up and grab them yourself from the counters. It's not a huge deal, but it definitely makes the service feel a little lacking. The food was also just okay this time. I got the chicken and waffles, and the waffle was pretty bland while the chicken was way too salty. Overall, the prices are a little on the expensive side too , it was $7 just to add one pancake.
