Had a really nice experience in the Tap room. We were helped by the bartender, Griffin and he was great! Great personality, attentive to all his patrons... overall just a joy. Ordered mango & strawberry margaritas both were delicious. Then had cobb salad, lamb meatballs and California Mac& cheese. The Mac&cheese was not noteworthy. The salad and the lamb in marinara sauce was fantastic. What a great "cheers" feel bar space. Watched a Warriors game... all was perfect. Thank you, Shame read more

First time at Jack's Taps and I'll definitely be back. Service was great, friendly and fast. We had the French Dip and the Reuben sandwich and both were amazing. The sweet potato fries were hands down the best I've ever had. Food came out quick, and everything was hot and delicious. It wasn't too busy, which made for a chill vibe. Good music, sports on the TVs, and 20 local beers on tap. Street and lot parking available. Solid spot all around. read more

Service was great. Came in right before 6pm. There was a wait. But it sure didn't feel like it. And it was busy on a Tuesday. Sat down, ordered waiter was nice and helpful. We got our food so quick. We were in and out in about an hour. We ordered calamari, coconut shrimp and the lamb meatballs. All were good. Also received some bread and butter. Our son got the kids tenders and fries, I ordered the meatloaf, but I was torn between the salmon orzo and fish and chips. My hubs got the lamb. This was our anniversary dinner and it was great. Thanks read more

Great place for a bite and some brew. Many tvs at the bar to catch your sports team too. The vibe is casual and service is prompt. I ordered a burger that came with sourdough bread as the bun, which sounded good at first, but about halfway through I wish I went with a brioche bun instead. My friend ordered the fried chicken sandwich and the chicken filet was HUGE! I do prefer a fried chicken sandwich with a lot more sauce or slaw inside the sandwich. It looked more like fried chicken than a sandwich. It was a quick bite, but satisfying. I'd come here again for sure! read more

This is the best place to stop by and grab one of their rotating beer selections. They always have a stout on tap which is rare to find these days. I love grabbing buffalo wings and a nice cold beer. Their service is great too. Brett is always friendly and remembers everyone. The place feels like family and the ambiance is always warm and welcoming. read more

Love this place. I can't speak to their taps, because I generally order a Manhattan here. But - the food is scrumdillyicious. I'd say we do brunch most often then dinner. Plenty to choose from on their diverse menu. The staff are very attentive and a manager frequently checks in with guests. The outdoor seating area in front is doggo friendly. The side patio is not for our four legged friends. read more

The service is top notch and the food is tasteful and abundant. My friend and I stumbled upon this gem when we were trying to decide where to have lunch in an area we were unfamiliar with. We were very happy that we stumbled upon this delicious and amazing restaurant. Everyone who we encountered from the hostess to the servers were all very friendly and welcoming. We plan to bring our friends here as soon as we decide on a date. This definitely is a place to come if you're in the area and looking for amazing food and even more amazing staff. read more

Jacks Taps is like the neighborhood Cheers bar, easy fun atmosphere with great music, nice bartenders, and a fantastic array of craft & domestic beer. Always a fun place to stop, but whew! Prices have gone up, $10 bucks for my beer today. read more

The Calamari was excellent. Seasoned well, tarter sauce was yummy. Garlic oregano fries were not too over powering. Love them. The margarita was okay. read more

I have been in search of a really good French dip sandwich. So I thought I'd give Jack's a try. It wasn't that the sandwich was bad but rather just average. The portion was good but I was hoping for house roasted beef vs deli a precooked deli style roast beef. The jus was average as well most likely made from a dry concentrate. The bread was good. My fries had to have been sitting under a warmer for a while(definitely not fresh). The service was good and very prompt and the atmosphere was nice as far as a corporate chain can be. All in all everything was just ok. Would I go back maybe because it's close but my search for a great French dip goes on. read more

What can I say? Good food, good beer. Came in to watch the game with a little bite to eat for the night. Ordered the garlic fries, calamari and half chicken. Everything was perfect and complemented our drinks very nicely. Ambiance is chill and located in the downtown area. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a change from all the other corporate breweries in the area. Our server was great and was consistent. Thanks for a good dine in experience. read more

This is a smaller restaurant located on the other side. Excellent choice of beers, plus the regular menu. If there's a long wait at jacks, this might be an option for couples. They only have high top tables so if you prefer a lower table, go to jacks. read more

The food is so tasty! There's so much to choose from. Anything you want they have. I'm obsessed with their pomodoro pasta. Everything is wonderfully made! Their pot roast is amazing! read more

Definitely a happenin' spot! This taproom is an extension of Jack's Restaurant & Bar right next door. The taproom is way more laid back compared to the actual restaurant itself. It's a great spot to catch a game or to have dinner when the restaurant is busy and overcrowded. You can enjoy the same happy hour bites menu from the restaurant here as well as the rest of their menu. They have three large big screen TV's at the bar and over 20 different beers on tap! The best part about their tap beers is that they actually offer variety! Yes, they have their standard IPA's, but they also usually keep several ales, sours, ciders, and guest beers too. They rotate their tap list pretty often, but it's easy to find something that you like. If you're with someone who isn't really a fan of beer, they have wine options too (they get it from next door). The bartenders are awesome! They will check in on you and chat you up if you're up for it. All in all, Jack's taps is a solid option for great beer and a fun time. read more

Service was slow tonight but they are very knowledgeable about their beer selection and super friendly. I'd normally give them a free pass if it was busy and they were the only server but the bar top had 2 people and 2 tables of 2. I ordered the gyro pizza which came out quickly and was delicious. read more

I love going to Jack's, especially the taps room. The food is amazing. And the service is always superb. Caitlin in the Taps room is the best bartender I've ever had. She always remembers the types of drinks I like and recommends great things if I want to try something different. read more

Came to watch the Niners game on a rainy day. Had a great time at Jack's with my fiance and two friends. Emily was amazing, she was attentive to our table and had a good report with all of us. Half way through the game, Emily had to leave so we closed out with her. GRIFFIN came in, and he ignored us while he attended to all of the other tables. It took some time before he came to talk to us and when he did we noticed that Griffin was wearing a mask at his chin, but only when he came to our table did he put his mask up plus he was rude to us. Absolutely felt disrespected by him and I feel bad having invited my friends to this place and they were treated that way by him. Service by Emily and the general environment was excellent. read more

Great place to come for a beer, today I selected The Patsy which was simply amazing. The pour looks chocolatey from the deep froth head with notes of coffee, coconut, spice chocolate and tastes fabulous!!! The Orchid Cider tastes like a sweet wine. The Mediterranean sampler is perfect treat to snack on while we have pleasant conversation. No happy hour on weekends. read more

We arrived today and they have ALL outdoor seating. It is nice to be back out with people again, enjoying a nice meal. The waitstaff were so nice and everyone really seemed to be back to work. There were a lot of people but the service was still quick. Half of our table got breakfast and I can say it looked well cooked and are some of the best dishes I've seen. I personally got a Caesar salad with steak and holy goodness! The steak was PERFECT and their Caesar dressing seemed handmade. We ordered Bloody Mary's and Moscow Mules all of which were amazing drinks. We are now trying to make this our regular weekend spot! Thank you Jack's!! read more

I love Jack's in Pleasant Hill!! All the crew are so nice and considerate and always have a smile for you!! The food here is the BOMB!! Doesn't matter if you're getting breakfast, which by the way, is off the hook, or lunch or dinner - just consistently outstanding!! That Pot Roast though...better than my mom's!!

This place is amazing! It is a bit noisy but to be expected in such a large place. The food, the service were both spectacular. We ordered two burgers and the polenta.

Popped in for a quick drink on a Sunday early afternoon. Place was packed! Service was so so given the crowd and I was solo so they must not have seen a "big ticket customer." But thats ok, the beer was cold, the selections were abundant and its worth another visit! read more

OMG!!!! Outstanding food, and beverages. Hands down this was the best dining experience we have had since the reopening of restaurants from the pandemic. To start we had the Mediterranean platter, which was complete heaven. And we also had the lamb meatballs, which were well flavored as well. To drink I had the mango fro mo. This drink, is sooo refreshing and delicious. My hubby had the citrus wheat beer. This was after asking for tastings of about 4 beers on tap to make a decision. The waitress offered, and my husband was happy to try the selections to make a decision. Awesome service. My main meal, I had the hot dog Mac and cheese, a nostalgia of my childhood. However this mac and cheese is far better then anything I ever had in my childhood. We didn't have a single bad thing while here. Now, if they could just open a location in Roseville/Rocklin, where we live that would be fantastic read more

Jacks Restaurant is also a taproom. Good beers and really interesting bar menu. Had the Lamb Sliders and a pint of their house IPA, both were just fine. The price for both was under $15, not bad for a tourist zone. Highly recommended if you're in Concord for the night and want a brew. read more

This is our go-to place prior to going to a movie or meeting friends just because. The serving staff is always friendly, but Caitlin goes above and beyond every time.

She knows most of us by name and always makes us feel welcome and knowing that this is OUR place. read more

This place is always busy. Did a walk up and was seated right away with a Warm welcome greeting. Now for the food, order pasta with sausage and a French dip sandwich.

I recommend Jacks to anyone looking for excellent service and outstanding food! read more

Needed me a breakfast burrito fix. My bff Mikey advised the breakfast burritos at this joint were on point, so I tested. I must say, Mikey knows his breakfast burritos and wowzers - it was flamas. Pulled up in the lot in my clean ass whip on some freshly polished 22's and walked up to the front to obtain my bounty. I went for the southwest breakfast burrito which contains two eggs scrambled, hash browns, grilled chicken, new mexico hatch chiles, pepper jack cheese, pico de gallo and I added pickled jalapeños. The jalapeños added a delicious crunch to the bohemoth and I was highly satisfied. Sure they aren't cheap, but these beauty's have been crafted by a burrito artisan and love. I'll be back to sample all of the burritos, Mikey likes it - I like it. Bonjour! read more

We loved it so much! Fantastic beer on tap and excellent appetizers for happy hour. Loved the lamb meatballs, lamb sliders, and the Mezze platter. We can't wait to come again! read more

Jack's Taps has a really good rotating beer selection and the power of a full Jack's menu to supplement with a good meal. The downside is that the space is small and it can fill up quickly. At that point, your choice is to find a space at the bar, walk inside over to the Jack's space, or leave. I've done all 3 but I won't hold it against them. read more
