Throughly impressed this time, brought a friend from SoCal here, and he really enjoyed it. He ordered a pulled pork sandwich and we got the urban fries to share. I ordered a Chinese chicken salad with the dressing on the side. I really liked it, it was fresh and crunchy and the dressing was delicious. Sunday dinner evening wasn't too busy here and there was no line and plenty of open tables. Good place for lunch or dinner and tons of open space. read more

This sounds horrible, but one of my favorite things at Jack's are the cookies! Each time I have gone, I have gotten a salad bowl, and they're decent, but the cookies have had me in a chokehold! The service is always ok, but they are often busy so things seem to be rushed. The restaurant is pretty large so we've never had issues finding seating. I would recommend Jack's if you were looking for a healthier fast food/restaurant option read more

Service 2.7- straightforward ordering and friendly service Food 3.0 Sunday night dinner before putting my daughter back on a plane. So she chooses Jack's. We arrive and it was perfect weather to eat outside so we quickly order: x2 BMLT sandwiches, BBQ Tri-tip sandwich, and Urban fries, then waited til food arrives. The urban fries show up first (like an appetizer), then a 10-15 wait until the sandwiches are served. IMO our food should have arrived together or at least a few minutes apart not 10-15 minutes. The BMLT were nicely toasted and my girls enjoyed their food, while my Tri-tip sandwich was overall cold except for the Tri-tip (warm but not hot) which was a disappointment. The bun was cool and not toasted or warmed up on the grill top and the slice of cheese used was cold like it was just pulled from the refrigerator while the lettuce and tomato was more at room temp; so when eating the sandwich that warm, then cold in one bite confused my taste buds or was the kitchen just ready to go home? The best part of my meal was spending time with my family while eating the fries because it was warm and crispy, even though served earlier than expected. read more

I enjoy coming here for the salads, especially the Chinese chicken and the Western BBQ steak. The portions are generous, and each salad is loaded with a great mix of ingredients. The Jack's Urban Fries are also excellent--definitely worth trying. Service is quick, and you can conveniently order online for pickup. There's also plenty of seating available, both indoors and outside. read more

I'm so so on this one. The salad was fine. It wasn't bad. Just didn't think it was something I'd likely crave. The chicken texture threw me off, it was crumbly and mushy at the same time. The salad mixture was fine as well wasn't terrible and the salad was fresh enough. The dressing was pretty good. Honestly I'd most likely stick with the urban fries, I've had them before and they're not bad at all. Service was like any fast food place I guess, just took the order and went on about our day. I will say the place was pretty clean. read more

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

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

Stopped in for late lunch. Found parking easily on this visit. Ordered at counter. Grabbed drinks and utensils. Food arrived shortly after. Tried the steak salad and tri tip plate. Love their salads. The tri tip was seasoned well. Mashed potatoes were yummy. Their garlic fries are better. Will be back! 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

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

This is my first time coming here and the food was pretty good for its price. I got the Chimichurri Steak Sandwich which had decent flavor and everything tasted fresh. However, the sandwich could've had more flavor and the meat was slightly too tough to chew. The server and cashier both had good hospitality. I would've gave this place a higher review if I came here more often to try the other options they offer. This place has a clean and nice ambiance since they offer both indoor and outdoor seating and the restrooms weren't dirty at all. 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

$20 Salmon Cobb salads should have fresh lettuce. I keep coming back hoping it will be better. Shame on me.

First time here and it was a great menu and selections. The service was very quick and professional. They were quick putting together our lunch! The ambiance is very modern and clean. All staff members were very helpful! Give this restaurant a chance, you won't be disappointed! We enjoyed our lunch! read more

Love the food, love being about to sit outside an enjoy the weather. The service is always great no complaints there. The only problem is the constant Uber Eats and Door dash pick ups and they park in the red zone right next to the outdoor seating so as we eat we get to enjoy their exhaust and their loud rap music with swear words while they go inside and get their pick up. It would be nice if Jacks management would make them park properly before giving them the food. read more

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

Service was awesome! First dinner here while visiting family here in Elk Grove. My chimichurri steak bowl was amazing! The garlic fries had fresh garlic & the portion size was huge!! Only reason I'm giving it 4 stars was because my brother's medium rare tri tip (not pictured) wasn't super pink. My steak didn't have an option on how to cook it and it was more pink than his. Still great place to eat. 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

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

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! Their sandwiches and plate dishes are also delicious but I personally love their huge salad options! 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

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

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

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

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.

I had a really rough day today, but the worker named Sadie made my day so much better! The food is amazing.

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

This place is nice for a salad or a sandwich. They serve some protein plates with some side dishes. They have a little of everything. I think it like going to a diner, but the food is a little healthier and taste better. I usual order a salad. I like to make my own, but today I got a turkey club. It was pretty good. I didn't feel like having fries today. I know the fries are good, though. Place is clean and staff are nice. 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

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

Cust service is great wait time is fine and the place is clean i am just so disappointed in the food the salads are terrible poor quality of everything in the salad the oranges sour the lettuces not fresh the sandwich's turkey so dry omg awful. the only thing that has stayed the same is the urban fry's and the garlic fry's my work buys us lunch from this place at least once a month and in the last 6 times i have ordered salad and sandwich it has been awful my husband and i use to go eat here every other Sunday but not anymore the high prices does not justify eating poor quality food 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
