Haven't had lunch here in awhile... the place is always so nice and clean. Plenty of booths and seating area both outside and in. Service is always so nice and quick. You order and find a seat and they'll bring your order to your table. We had shared the family urban fries .. that was ok.. I felt like the fries could be better.. it wasn't as freshly fried so it felt cold ... My Chinese chicken salad though was great! I don't know if they've changed something about it but it was so refreshing and the dressing was delicious! My hubby had the bbq steak salad .. that one is always really good. A refreshing side to lunch for sure. read more

DO NOT ASK FOR UPGRADES/EXTRAS. *in the picture I Asked for extra everything (chili peppers, blue cheese, chili oil, and cilantro) y'all be the judge. ***UPDATED*** Deleted some of my comment found my self to be too harsh. Gave extra stars because they are friendly, food is made fresh and flavorful. Pretty busy place so I should be more mindful of my comments about service. Food is usually fresh. Just Minus 1 star for not adding the extras as asked. read more

I love Jacks! Always fresh and tasty. Burgers don't come with any fries so you have to order them on the side. A regular is big enough for 2-3 people. Got the chicken pesto sandwich and it was juicy and tender. Plenty of tables to sit at. Busy location in this plaza. read more

Consistent food, good service, loud during rush hours. I wouldn't sit indoor if you're trying to have a conversation over lunch, it is too loud. Outdoor is nice, but can be hot. The chimichurri steak sandwich is delicious, but I had to ask for extra pickled onions because they only put like 3 inside. Literally. The urban fries are my favorite. It's such a delicious combo. The tri tip sandwich you can't go wrong with. The kids meals are delicious, not pictured. My son loved the chicken strips and the turkey and mashed potatoes. I love coming here for their sandwiches, but the star of my cravings are these fries. Would recommend you give it a shot if you've never tried it & like a little kick. read more

Not sure why this restaurant has an overall rating of 3 stars. The restaurant is clean, service was fast, and food was delicious so I gave it 5 stars. I made my own salad and added avocados. It was very tasty and had just the right amount of dressing. Portion size was perfect too! My group also got the spicy buffalo chicken sandwich, turkey plate, tomato bisque, garlic fries and urban fries. All very tasty and portion size was great! Will definitely come again to try the other items! read more

I haven't been to Jack's Urban Eats in years, probably 7-8 years. This place always appears to be busy with a full parking lot. Inside you order and pay at the counter, staff members prepare your food orders and bring it to your table. I think the order took 10 minutes. I ordered a turkey, cranberry sauce, green apple, Brie cheese, mixed greens and onion sandwich on thick, toasted wheat bread. Sandwich was huge, tasted fresh and all the ingredients were flavorful. I ate half. I also ordered Garlic FrIes which were superb, again very generous serving size for the small order. I brought half of the sandwich and half of the fries home; my eyes were too big. The restaurant is organized with drinks, silverware, napkins and condiments along the east wall. Friendly, professional staff members, kitchen staff and table bussers. What a good experience with great food. read more

Haven't been here in awhile but I enjoyed my salad. I created my own with no protein. I added up to 6 toppings - mushrooms, beets x2, corn, jicama, caramelized seeds with arugula and dill dressing. Loved the caramelized seeds were really good. Staff were friendly. Parking is ok but it gets busy around lunch. Love their outdoor seating. read more

Came here on a wednesday evening around 6pm. When we arrived, it wasn't too busy. We were able to get served quickly and plenty of seating was available. It was a warm spring evening.So the outdoor seating was enjoyable. We had a tri tip plate with mashed potatoes, cheesy bread and mac and cheese. I don't know if it's me or the food at jack's.Just doesn't seem to be flavored.As well as it used to be. I found the tri tip without too much flavor the mac and cheese was not cheesy and it also came out cold.And the mashed potatoes were good, except the gravy didn't have a lot of flavor to it. The cheesy bread was excellent. We also had a salmon cobb and a chicken teriyaki salad. Heard the same thing about the salmon and the chicken. More flavor/spices please. read more

Jack's Urban Eats never fails! Whether it's salad, a meat dish, the variety of sides or their well known Urban fries, I had never had a bad meal. Never liked anything blue cheese flavored, yet I am obsessed with their Urban fries. I would have craving for their fries from time to time. Their tri-tip platter with two sides is always my go-to as well. The tri-tip is seasoned well, and tender. Dip it in their bbq sauce and it's PERFECTION! read more

This is our go to place on our weeknight dinners post work out. We love the many salad options, especially the create your own which you can mix it up with whatever 6 ingredients you desire, so you can literally have a variety of different salads every day if you desire. They also allow you to purchase their dressings so you can continue to enjoy a healthy delicious salad at home!

We met a friend for lunch here at Jack's Urban Eats. We came in and it was busy. We grabbed a menu and looked it over while in line to order. You get to watch the young chefs make other people's salads and sandwiches while waiting. As you make it to the cashier, that's when we made our order. We paid and received the order number sign so they can find you! The inside were completely full of people. We ended up eating outside!! We enjoyed our build our own salad options. You get to pick your greens options and then six other add ons. Then you may pay for the protein of your choice option. Our friend had the blackened salmon salad. We were told it was excellent!! We built our own and it was delicious as well. We were done eating and just catching up on life when a young man came and asked us if he could take our dishes. He was very friendly and said he also enjoyed the salads here as well. Overall, a refreshing healthier options for eating out for us. Friendly staff. Shared parking with other businesses. Clean bathroom was a BONUS for us. Prices are competitive with other eateries. We will be back.... read more

Let's call this visit our "Do Over"! Food was much better this time. Hubby had his usual favorite Turkey Plate with mashed potatoes, & Mac n cheese. He had to tell the cashier Chris 5 several times that he wanted dark thigh meat. Another cashier explained it & showed carver what to give us. He said it was the best he's had here. I had a chicken club and it was perfect! I added your bomb cranberry sauce to it & devoured it. The ambiance was the usual, good but a little loud. Thank you! read more

I've had the urban eats in Davis but never anywhere else... I ordered the western bbq salad.. it was filled with fresh veggies and the steak was cooked nicely not over done. I think the only thing that could have made this better was to have smaller lettuce pieces. Beyond that it was great. We ordered this for pick up, it traveled well and was a great way to enjoy lunch. read more

Randomly decided to have dinner at Jack's with my wife. Honestly, Jack's is the place to go to if you want a balanced lunch or dinner, quick, and mot fast food. I got the tri tip plate with mashed potatoes and veggies. My wife got a salad. It was filling and I felt good after. It was closer to closing time so we were helped immediately. The staff were friendly. This place will probably end up in our dinner rotation read more

We came on a rainy Friday afternoon. They were busy but not crazy. Plenty of parking with lots of room for eat in or to go. You order and then they give you a number and take to your table. They have soda machine, teas and wine as well as beer. We ordered the mac and cheese as well as garlic fried. Buffalo chicken sandwich and the Asian chicken salad. The small fries plate was big with lots of garlic and crispy. The Mac was and cheese was creamy but did need more salt and pepper in our opinion. My Asian chicken salad was light and juicy yet very filling. We had some Chardonnay with our food and the chicken sandwich was great. Nice staff and efficient service. read more

Very spacious restaurant with a bunch of seating. You go in and order at the front and you pick your own table. I thought the place was very clean and maintained. We ordered the Urban fries to share and I got my own Chimichurri Steak sandwich. The fries were too salty for my taste, but they were crispy and blue cheese was good. I really liked the sandwich, it came with a fair amount of meat. Everything paired nicely together with the acidity of the onion and bitterness of the arugula with the steak, cheese, and aioli. I also like this spot because it's next to Handels, and you could get ice cream after. read more

Friends from Sac just loved to Vegas have always talked about Jacks urban eats. It one of their favorite local spots to each. So just happen they back visiting and able to have lunch with them post race day. Guess only local chain. They have few locations throughout Sac. I went to the Elk Grove location. I like set up open area find spot. U go up counter order then they bring food. Great about kitchen open area. Some things thinking soup of the day made it easier open kitchen see the soup. It exciting able see all food coming out. I settled for soup of the day. Turkey pozole. Bbq tri-tip sandwich. Must cause friends favorite dish Urban fries. The soup was hearty, hot, and amazing. Tri tip sandwich moist, perfect, and the bun best part grill it before get it hot. Urban lives up to the hype. The blue cheese type dressing combine with spicy oil. Works!!! Like is it not drowning on top always have hot crispy frie eating. Overall great food, nice portions, and all reasonable priced. If had one in Vegas be regular for sure!!! read more

Not having the best of luck in Elk Grove. We've traveled and stayed there 3 times in past 14 months. Sometimes I try a Place that has average to lower ratings to see if folks are being petty or not fair to establishment. Unfortunately, these lower Reviews are accurate. The service not the best. Wait time to be served much longer than we had hoped. Food was not very good in my opinion. I can't promote this place as a go to bbq joint Update: owner reached out and offered me Another opportunity to eat there again. Polite, prompt and professional on follow up. So, look forward to another meal and review in the future with a better meal experience! read more

OMG! I ordered a pesto chicken sandwich and a tri tip sandwich it was horrible I mean horrible the chicken I could not chew it felt not like chicken and tri tip was so dry what is going on. i would not even give the 1 star since I had to pick and that's why I gave them a 1. I give them a big fat 0 ! read more

Haven't been here for a while, but nothing's changed since except for increased pricing. Cashier was pleasant and efficient, and the facility was clean and open. Love seeing a fresh whole turkey on the cutting board vs. processed meats. Carved turkey and tri -tip sandos were moist and the Chinese chicken salad was good, especially the dressing; love the jicama! Lettuce pieces were a bit large and quite a few white stems were present though. Garlic fries were ok; could've had more minced garlic. Overall a good, simple lunch. read more

Ive been coming here for years and realized i never reviewed it.

Service is usually fast and ambiance is ok and employees are always friendly. The issues is that I don't go to a restaurant for fast service for sub par food. The blacked salmon was so bad I am surprised they even allowed it out of the kitchen. As for the chicken tenders, they use to be the best in the area and now they are just bland with very little sauce given with them. Chimichurri steak is still the same as always and pretty good at least, but unless you want a ok to good steak sandwich, I would wait until they get their quality control back. read more

Level of service definitely goes down in the evening. I ordered a build your own salad. Asked for peas, they entered in edamame. When I said I do not want the edamame, they rolled their eyes and deleted it. I'm ok if you need to substitute but let the customer know. And no people, edamame and peas are not the same thing! I've had many, many salads from Jack's over the years. The only reason why I'm eating this one is because I paid for it- 3/4 of the salad swimming in dressing and the other side completely dry. I know service is bad in the evening so I try to avoid coming here, but my first choice was closed. Evening crew, get it together. read more

Anytime I'm in town, I round up the troops (nieces and nephew) and take them to Jacks Urban Eats. Those darn urban fries and garlic fries are the best in town! I haven't had their mashed potatoes so I ordered them too. After my camera ate, the kids devoured the fries and even tossed the leftover garlic into the mashed potatoes! It gets pretty busy here even on a regular Tuesday night. Service was a bit slow, but understandable. The fries are worth it! read more

I didn't feel like having fries today. I know the fries are good, though. Place is clean and staff are nice. read more

Ordered a turkey sandwich. First few bites were great..... then I ended up with a mouthful of fat. Looked at remaining half and it was all skin and one tiny peace of meat! I almost barfed. They remade the sandwich which was better but I was already nauseous. Can't believe they would serve this. Wonder if the employee who made it would eat it. Gross. Undercooked fries, overcooked chicken strips. First time trying Jack's and I'll never return. read more

We haven't been here in forever. I ordered a make your own salad with turkey. Dark meat. It was good. I was feeling salad and it was good for that craving. My wife got the turkey club sandwich which was ok but they forgot the pepper jack cheese. I had to ask for it and they brought out a side for her. We tried the two lemonades. Wow too much sugar and tart. I thought I would like it but had to get the Dr Pepper hahah. The staff were nice and I think the menu changed since I was last here. I didn't take a photo. We went early like 4 and it wasn't crowded at all. I think just 2 other tables . No wait and the food came out pretty fast. The place is the same I think. The tables looked clean. There was a table not cleared yet when we sat down. When we were ready to leave there was a girl with a cleaning cart attending to all the tables. read more

Jack's urban eats has normally been one of my favorite places to eat over the years and I've been to several locations. Laguna being one of my favorites, however, I have to say in recent times at least the last two times including this one so let's say the last three times I've been disappointed. I feel like for what they charge for the food. The portions could be better. The quality could be better as well. The staff is great don't get me wrong. They always have been very friendly and normally I order to go. However, for the almost $27 that I spent including the drink that I did not take a picture of, I feel like I should've had way better quality food. The side of roasted veggies for the portion given, and what was charged as a joke. The quality of this chimichurri steak sandwich, I probably can't even give this portion away to a homeless person. For me to give such a bad review, it really hurts, because I really like Jack's. I normally get to go, the create your own salad with tri-tip added. But when I looked how the portions of the tri-tip have even been more of a sample side. It's led me to not wanna order that because for $18 I'm mainly getting lettuce and even the veggies portions have been minimal. Reading the other reviews it seems that the overall theme is the quality has gone down however the service has been great. I understand prices have to increase, but can the quality at least be there? Can the portions be somewhat reasonable for the prices charged? read more

Jack's is one of those places where you can have a great meal, or walk out feeling like you just flushed your money down the toilet. The inside is pretty basic with a "California surf side" atmosphere, and usually fairly crowded during rushes. The staff is always pleasant, considering how wildly busy it can be. We prefer to take our food to go or get it delivered because of this. The menu itself is solid. Any main you get (if made well) has a good flavor profile. The sides are a little bland, but you can't go wrong with skipping them and just going for Urban Fries. However, there is a 70% chance what you get will have unwashed produce, burnt chicken strips, or literally the saddest excuse for carved turkey you will ever see. I've held my tongue because Jack's has been a staple in my life for decades, but I with this quality, I can't let it slide anymore. I ordered today, and what I got is clearly the turkey that has fallen off of other slices used for sandwiches and tossed somewhere under a heat lamp and left to die. It is basically jerky at this point, and I don't see how this is acceptable, especially when the photo on the website shows full slices of carved turkey. This is clearly a cost saving measure that I would consider blatant false advertising. What happened, Jack's? I'm honestly heartbroken. read more

I haven't been here in years but I'm glad I came again. Jack's has plenty of indoor and some outdoor seating. It's very open on in the inside and spacious - good for groups, couple of friends reuniting, or even solo dining. The staff here remind me of the staff at Trader Joe's, they got the chill unbothered vibes, but are also friendly. This time I got the Santa Fe Chicken Salad which I have never tried here but it was perfect! I love all the veggies incorporated in there as well as the dressing. It's not a typical Santa Fe salad like at other restaurants but it was really good. The chicken was so tender. Most places that have chicken in their salads are usually dry but not here (': Also got the jack's urban fries which are a classic, still tastes the same and good. Tried the butternut squash as it's a seasonal item and that was flavored and herb'd really well, would recommend. And now I'm craving the salad as I'm writing this review :P read more

Went in tonight to order dinner. Waited 40ish minutes and they were not busy. As I'm about to ask about my food I see them grab my bag off the shelf where they place pick up orders and yell out my name. My food was ready and had been sitting there for easily 15+ minutes. I open all my food and it was now cold. Not one apology, hey this accidentally happened can we replace it ... nothing!! I ordered urban fries with extra toppings and pull those out, take them back and say "since my food sat on the shelf and wasn't called out could I please at least get fresh fries" still no apology or acknowledgment of what happen. She takes my fries and brings back a new order. I'm more bothered they were completely fine letting me walk out with cold food and soggy fries with 0 acknowledgment, apology or offer to give me even fresh hot food since that's what I paid for. Also below are my "remade" fries with extra toppings. read more

Went here today for the first time and we will be back soon for sure! The BBQ Brisket sandwich was delicious! My daughter had the turkey plate w/asparagus and mashed potatoes- she loved it!
