My wife, oldest son and I have eaten at Jack's twice in the past few weeks with some of my family members. Since Jack's at Westgate is close to their homes, it made sense to go there. Their menu is diverse and offers many options for lunch or breakfast. They don't skimp on their portions and their service is quick and their staff are friendly. Our first visit, my wife and oldest son ordered breakfast. My wife ordered the chili cheese omelette, hash browns and toast. Our son had the Carnivore (all meat) omelette, hash browns and toast. I ordered the Spaghetti and Clams. This most recent visit, my wife and son both ordered a Classic burger, cheddar cheese and fries. I enjoyed the fish-n-chips that came with tartar sauce, Cole slaw and fries. All the food was really good and filling. Everyone enjoyed the burgers and they are good-sized too. My fish-n-chips were delish. The fish was cooked just right, the Cole slaw was tasty and the fries were nice and crispy. The service was very good and the staff were friendly. They came around often to check on us and refilled our beverages, as well. The noise level was low, so we could enjoy our conversations. A solid place to enjoy a meal. Parking is also easy. read more

Stop by Jacks after finishing up the Nation Night Run at PayPal on a Saturday night and surprisingly wasn't busy at all. We were seated immediately, but there was a bit of wait for a server. After we order our food the starters came out pretty quick. For the starters we ordered hot wings and Asian wings. Hot wings were flavorful and had just the right amount of sauce. Asian wings sauce was on point and not over powering. Our entrees did take a bit of time to come out. Our server Ronnie was great, nice and friendly. He checked up on us consistently and kept refilling our water without asking. The main entrée Shrimp scampi: My daughter ordered this and it was ok. Surprised it didn't come with any side like bread. Dish could used a bit more flavor and the shrimp weren't peeled Double Smah Burger: My son orders this and he loved it. The Mac or smash sauce that came with it was really good Sunset BLVD Burger: Flavorful and stacked. Comes on a toasted sourdough bread with avocado and bacon.The garlic oregano fries were good, but just had too much lol. There's a spacious out door seating and they have a full bar with tvs to watch a game. read more

I had lunch here, with my friend after shopping at the Westgate Shopping Center. The restaurant is in front of the mall and shares a parking lot with it as well. When we walked in, the place was busy. The outdoor seating area was all full on one side and empty on the other. We let them know we wanted to sit inside at a booth. They accommodated us and seated us right away. It's very large very spacious inside with a large amount of seating. There is even a private area for large groups. There is a full bar area with plenty of seating too. We were brought ice water and menus. They offer a variety of American comfort foods and some Greek dishes. The menu we were looking at offered breakfast and lunch. There is a separate menu for dinner as well as a happy hour menu. I ordered the Sunset Boulevard Burger. This burger came with avocado, bacon, Jack & cheddar cheese on sourdough bread. I chose a salad for my side. My friend ordered the Code Bleu Burger. This burger came with bleu cheese, bacon, BBQ sauce and onion rings in it. She chose sweet potato fries for her side. There was an upcharge of $1.95 for the sweet potato fries. For our drinks, my friend got a Diet Pepsi and I ordered an iced tea. Our food came out quickly. The burgers were both delicious. They prepared mine a perfect medium rare and made my friend's burger medium well, as was requested. My burger was so flavorful and juicy. They had all the fixings on the side. My side salad was very good but I didn't care for the dressing. Our kind server brought me a few other dressings for me to try and I ended up using the herbed vinaigrette. My friend loved her burger, especially the bleu cheese. Her sweet potato fries were crispy and delicious. The portion sizes were huge. We could only eat half of our meal, because it was so big. Service was excellent. Our sever checked on us several times and refilled our drinks without us having to ask. We really enjoyed our meal and will be back to try their breakfast, next time. read more

I live 5 minutes away from here but never knew how AMAZING Jack's is. That is, until tonight! Wifey and I randomly came here this Friday night at 7:30PM and were HIGHLY impressed. You see, Yardhouse in Santana Row used to be our go-to spot until we realized that the wait can be overwhelming (especially during Happy Hour). When we went to Jack's, there was no wait and wifey and I were seated immediately. And speaking of Yardhouse, Jack's reminded us of our former favorite go-to spot, which is a great thing! Service was quick and friendly, food was delicious, and ambience was amazing (TV, bar, comfy booths). We opted for the calamari w/ jalapeños, tutto mare, and smash burger with garlic fries. ALL dishes were absolutely SUBLIME. We are excited to explore the rest of the menu in the very near future, including the breakfast and lunch dishes. In addition, sourdough bread was complimentary and super tasty. An easy 5/5 restaurant. Highly recommend. Kudos to Jack's for providing me and my wife an enjoyable Friday dinner experience. Cheers to many more date nights here! read more

TL;DR: Relaxed eatery with accommodating staff and quick service. Food was good - nothing particularly special. Ordered: - Blackened catfish: One of the better dishes our group ordered. A bit underseasoned but the cook was perfect - Sweet potato fries: pro tip - if you ask nicely, they might be willing to add garlic to the fries :) All-in-all, a relaxed vibe where we got to enjoy each other's company. The food was alright - good, not great. Cheers, Jack's! read more

Came here for happy hour and we were satisfied. We were seated at a spacious booth despite only being a party of 2. We got the lamb sliders and It was perfectly cooked and juicy. We added the tzatziki from the Mediterranean sampler and it just elevated the slider. My bf enjoyed the Asian wings, I didn't care for it as much as it was too sweet. I did enjoy the hot wings but it is your typical hot wings. The rest of Mediterranean sampler was great. Service was just ok. Originally asked if the sangria was white wine our server said yes and then brought us the drink. Had I known it was red I would not have gotten it as I'm not a fan of red. Happy hour is anywhere in the restaurant which was nice. read more

Very nice spot. I've been to the one in Newark, but don't remember it being this good. This place hits the spot in terms of comfort food. Drinks are actually really good and staff is really attentive. I had the tuna melt and it was great. Everyone in the party enjoyed the experience. Overall, if you want a good meal, for a fair price then this is a perfect spot for all of that. read more

Jack of All Trades This locally-owned chain of restaurants now boasts five locations throughout the Bay Area, with this Westgate location being its newest. Jack's is a classic American diner, but with a substantial bar program, and its menu features a big nod to the family's Greek heritage. The Good: * Reservations via the Yelp app or their website * Dog-friendly outdoor dining * Happy Hour Mon - Fri 3 p.m. - 6 p.m. * Full bar with sixteen beers on tap * Great service * Prices are very reasonable * My Lamb Burger was cooked perfectly medium-rare and the flavor was terrific and not gamey at all. Also, their garlic fry upgrade ($1.75) is 100% worth it if you're a vampire hunter, like myself. Just don't expect any kisses from the misses afterwards. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The Meh: * Zucchini Cakes were just OK. They needed a little more zing to them to make the flavor pop, but I mean, I get it. It's zucchini. How much can you really do with it in the first place? The Ugly: * I'd prefer to see fewer macro and more locally-made microbrews. We have so many great breweries in the Bay that it's a shame for a great local spot like this not to highlight them. Conclusion: We don't always have a hankering for diners, but when we do, this will be our go-to. read more

This review is for their breakfast. Had the Eggs Benedict and the Corned Beef Hash Breakfast plate. The Benedict has good hollandaise sauce; it's the lemony kind. Perfectly poached eggs with the jelly yolk. Asked for sourdough toast instead of hashbrown. The corned beef hash was a bit dry; it's the corned beef meat that's chopped into bits smaller than ground beef. The hashbrown was good, crispy outside. Food came out pretty quickly. read more

Came in on a Saturday and the wait wasn't too bad. The service could use some improvement but the food here was solid though! The Mediterranean sampler (4/5) was really great! The pita was warm and soft and the tzatziki and hummus were especially good. Personally am not a fan of lamb but I got the lamb burger (3.5/5) to try and it was fine. It's definitely not hitting the burger craving but it was cooked well. The sweet potatoes fries (5/5) were soooo good and I'd definitely get those again! The Italian Mac (4/5) was delicious too! Cheesy and the Italian sausage was flavorful. I would want to try out their other Macs in the future. I tried my bf's chicken gyro and I thought it was good. Chicken was seasoned pretty well and the sauce was tasty. Only feedback is the service could be better. They didn't provide enough utensils and napkins so we had to keep waiting for the server to get to us. The starter also took a while to arrive, and our meals did not arrive at the same time so one person had to wait way longer than the rest of the people. Everything just felt disorganized. I'd come back on a slower day and hopefully service is better then. read more

To anyone else it might look like I'm promoting for this place, but I promise I'm not. This morning I went on a hike with my sister in law and niece and we decided to treat ourself with breakfast. Today I've finally tried their breakfast and I was very happy with that decision. I had county fried steak and eggs with hash browns and their side French toast. My sister in law had some egg and hamburger dish with hash browns and instead of toast she had Swedish pancakes. My niece had their waffles with whipped cream. I was very torn between the French toast and country fried steak so when the server told us that we can sub our toast for the French toast and Swedish pancakes we were very pleased. My listen in law said the hamburger was very flavorful and done just right. My country fried steak was wonderful and savory and omg the banana French toast was to die for. My niece was happy with her waffle and juice as well. I still have yet to be disappointed by this place. It's big and well decorated, they have a beautiful outdoor seating area that is pet friendly. It's also cool that they sell their own coffee. If you're looking for a good lunch or breakfast spot to go to and you're near westgate mall, I'd say this place is a definite go to. read more

I wanted to update my review so I could include some photos of the food. Jacks still remains one of my favorite restaurants in San Jose because the service and food are always amazing. I am here every few weeks and the food NEVER disappoints. Choosing my meal is the worst part of my experience here because everything is so good. I also wanted to shout out Ezekiel again. He makes dining here so memorable because he is so kind and friendly. I truly cannot recommend this place enough! Not included in this review are drinks. We didn't order any tonight, but they are also great. My favorite is the pomegranate in a pear tree! read more

I have had breakfast and lunch here previously, and it was so good. I decided to hold my dad's family birthday dinner here. I was so disappointed in the way our steaks cane out. My son and I ordered ours "medium" and they cane out with one end cooked rare and the other skinnier end waaaaay beyond well done. The server did offer to have our steaks recooked, but everyone else was finishing up their fish(which I heard was great), so we declined. There other large parties in the restaurant tonight so it was VERY loud and difficult to hold a conversation, but that was ok. I have to say our server was amazing! Very attentive, polite and friendly. Should we try to go back and try ordering a steak a second time? read more

Jack's Restaurant & Bar - ITALIAN PASTA - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Jose, California

Did not have a great experience here. We ordered a medium well steak, and it was all red and bloody, definitely on the rarer side. My least favorite part was the service. Our server did not care at all. She was very uninterested, barely checked in on us. She was a reason why we felt discouraged to send out food back. The worst part was that we couldn't tip accordingly. They only gave us the option of 18, 20, and 22%. I guess you could also leave no tip, but to me, that's messed up. The experience was not good enough to be that expensive too. The environment is really nice though. It's a very pretty restaurant, but what does that matter if the experience doesn't match. read more

I've been to Jack's a few times with some friends. As always, the food is lovely and the customer service is great. It was busy when we came around this time, which is good to see. When I got there, my friends were already seated and were just about to order some appetizers, so it was great timing. We ended up trying the garlic fries and housemade chips. Both were wonderful. I got the sole with veggies and mashed potatoes - it was great, but did need a little more seasoning. It was enough for dinner and lunch the next day! My friends got various dishes. We also tried a couple of desserts - the berry cheesecake and tuxedo cake with a scoop of ice cream. Delicious. Jack's is a great place to catch up with some friends, family or go on a date. Everything is lively, but you can still talk to your group without yelling. While the food was great - the drinks could be improved upon. Two of our drinks (we got the same thing) tasted mostly like carbonated water (which I don't like, but my friend does) while another drink had a salt rim instead of the sugar rim advertised. Overall, I'd come back, but will probably avoid getting any of the drinks. read more

Overall Experience: 6.4/10 The restaurant is in the back separated from the Westgate mall. The restaurant has a modern interior and has many TV's for what ever sport or event is happening. The tables are spaced out very nicely and is very comfy to be seated. The service was amazing, as they constantly check in and makes sure you're doing alright. The Food: I have been here a couple of times, and have taken out once but the food has always been somewhat of a let down each of the times. I've had the lamb burger, but the burger itself was cooked a too much compared to what was ordered, and it was missing a lot of seasoning. It lacked the salt, and was not super juicy. The toppings on the burger complements it nicely but wasn't anything special. The lamb burger just tasted too gamey. With it, I got a side of potato salad which I thought had great flavor and good texture. I have also taken out their breakfast burrito, but the burrito was not flavorful again. The burrito was also a lot smaller than expected, and the eggs did not have the necessary salt or seasonings, as well as the potatoes. I have also came here for breakfast and tried their omelet, which was decent, but nothing special. It had the fixings and decent in size, so I would recommend those breakfast items the most. Overall: I really like the space and where it is located, but the food has been a miss most the times I have been there which is disappointing. But if you're looking for somewhere that is comfy to sit and watch the games I would tell you this is an option to go to. read more

After seeing this in the neighborhood for so long, we finally had the chance to try and we're so glad we did. The French dip is amazing. It's such a rare menu item for most restaurants nowadays that we were so glad it was delicious. The shrimp scampi pasta was okay, and it was probably more of a personal preference than the restaurant's fault (I'm a little sensitive to oily food and this dish seemed to have a bit more than I'm used to with shrimp scampi pasta). This definitely doesn't change that we want to come back for the French Dip and to try some other things on the menu. We were also wanting to try some of the happy hour appetizers with some more people in our party. Service was decent! All staff members were quite attentive, and even a manager had willingly checked in with us which we appreciated. Inside was very modern and cozy, though definitely appreciated the casual vibes still. We'll be back :) read more

I can't stop thinking about the wedge salad I had at Jack's! While most places stick to the classic combo of blue cheese dressing and bacon crumbles, Jack's takes it up a notch with a drizzle of balsamic that brings the whole dish to life--absolute perfection. We went for brunch to celebrate my son's birthday, and I made the reservation through the Yelp app (which might have helped with the great service ). Our table was ready when we arrived, complete with two booster seats for my grandkids, plus crayons and coloring sheets--such a thoughtful touch. Service was spot-on, and I loved that they brought the kids' meals out first. Everyone enjoyed their food, and the atmosphere struck that perfect balance--comfortable enough for a family brunch but still cozy enough for a more intimate meal. I'll definitely be back! read more

An American restaurant with a modern design and ample seating where you can come for a casual meal or for an occasion. They have booths, tables, and high top tables for seating. Breakfast is served until 2pm and lunch until 4pm, so note the times if you were coming for a particular dish or brunch food! Items Ordered: - Spanakopita ($10): A flaky appetizer with cheese and spinach that was filling and delicious! - Crispy buffalo chicken salad ($21.95): The crispy buffalo was a bit spicier than I expected. I personally would prefer another protein with the salad as the buffalo had a bit of a sour flavor to it, but the meat itself was tender and there was a generous amount of buffalo in the salad. The salad comes with a ranch dressing, corn, black beans, and avocado. - Italian Mac ($17.50): Really cheesy and had a great flavor overall. Comes with Italian sausage and sun dried tomatoes. read more

We have been to Jack's several times, and each time it is wonderful. The food is always delicious, the drinks are always well made, and the staff is always affable and attentive. This time we were served by Ezequiel and he was fantastic. An almost telepathic sense of when he was needed before we really knew, and a friendly demeanor without being overbearing. We had the Code Bleu Burger and the lamb burger, both of which were delicious and cooked to perfection. Always the first place we take people for celebrating or to reward a hard day, and the first place we tell people to go looking for good food. Don't be surprised if this becomes your favorite go-to restaurant. read more

I originally wanted to come here for their beers. I ended up ordering a lot more. Firstly, we ordered a round of cocktails. The Mango Fuego was okay. It was tasty but overall very sweet. The Fresa Picante was pretty good. The other cocktail we tried was the Cucumber Cocktail, that was delicious and our favorite. Their cocktails although tasty aren't very strong and are made very lightly. Cocktails aside. Their Clam spaghetti was VERY tasty and delicious. We replaced it with Alfredo sauce and it came out very creamy and overall, delicious. Shoutout to the cook, they did a wonderful job with it. Their clam chowder was also delicious and a great appetizer. The service was great. Our waiter, Esteban was very efficient, kind and welcoming. He's an excellent waiter and we hope to have him in the future on our next visit. The atmosphere is also very beautiful, calm and relaxing. I loved the outdoor area especially with the fairy lights and the nice cool air. I'll definitely be coming back again and strongly recommend this place. Fantastic service and fantastic food. read more

9/24/25 around 2pm Espresso martini : 100/10 If you love coffee & alcohol then this is the one for you. You cant taste the alcohol at all but it hits you when you less expect. Garlic fries: Big size, crispy, good taste. Caesar Salad: fresh, simple. For a side its a good size. Mama Meat loaf: Picture worthy, comes with 2 big onion rings, mashed potatoes on the bottom and a flavorful meat in the middle.The gravy does add another amazing flavor to the meat as well.This will fill you up & dinner worthy. Jack's routine alfredo: Creamy, good size & tender chicken, broccoli was with flavor. Simple but yet yummy. Italian mac and cheese: cheesy, lots of meat & veggies in it, well balanced overall. You can get half order as well. Even the half was a good size enough for 2 people. Some like it hot: If you love spicy & alcohol than this is the drink! Looks amazing with a spicy side. Customer service was amazing, our server was amazing, she dis have good recommendations. Clean restaurant inside and outside as well. They do have a bar with many options in drinks & with a good amount of tvs to watch games on. read more

I have been a returning customer ever since Jack's opened. Their menu is filled with comfort food, at affordable prices and I love the story and photos they weave throughout the menu. The staff are excellent and very friendly, and bonus points for the 80s music that plays throughout the restaurant since I'm a Gen Xer like them. They even have a bar that hosts parties and events. Highly recommend a visit! read more

This is my 5th or 6th time dining at this restaurant and I have to say that both the food and the service have been excellent from day one. Since this is such a rarity in the industry as of late, It's always a welcomed surprise. Tonight was no exception. I came here with my mom and it looked like they were a little bit short-staffed. Christian who I believe was the restaurant manager, ended up helping us and he was awesome. My mom loved the Patrole Soul and Christian's suggestion of the pumpkin bread pudding was spot on. It was a five-star experience and we will definitely be returning...thanks Jack's! read more
