    Sour cream and chives mash potatoes
    Jenny Y.

    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.

    Chinese chicken salad
    Brandon N.

    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.

    Chinese Chicken salad

    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.

    Garlic Fries

    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!

    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.

    Steak Salad
    Amy T.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Chimichurri Steak
    Emily N.

    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.

    Tri tip with mashed, mac, and cozy bread
    Alan J.

    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.

    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!

    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....

    Chimichurri Steak Bowl - New!
    Breanna Belcher

    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.

    Is the Elk Grove location dog friendly?

    Yes, for patio seating they are.

    Been trying to call this place to see if they are OPEN Easter Sunday 04/21/19. I try 5 times no luck. Please let me know?

    They are not opened on Easter

    Is there a different number? Ive been trying to call for an hour now--- no answer.

    They do not answer the phones ever, at least in my experience. They get really busy and there is no one appointed to answer calls...

    Ok, my co-worker kept telling me how good the deep fried strawberry French toast is, so of course,…read morethat's what I ordered. Served with eggs and choice of meat; I got the sausage links. Oh my, the French toast is a huge portion and beautifully presented with a side of whipped cream and strawberry compote on top. It's not as sweet as it looks (perfect for my taste) and the toast had crispy edges. Sausage was good but needed to be cooked just a bit longer, so you get that snap when you bite it. Scrambled eggs were good too. My husband got the chorizo burrito with tater tots on the side. He liked the burrito but said it did have little kick to it. The tots were fried to perfection and not oily. My brother ordered the "Dad's Mash Up," all kinds of stuff (breakfast meats and cheese) served on top of tots and covered in gravy. It was a pile of food, no complaints from my bro. Service was great and welcoming as soon as we walked in. No wait on a Wednesday morning, but I imagine there is on the weekends. I let our server know it was my brother's birthday, and after we were finishing up our meals, they brought him a complimentary small plate of the strawberry French toast! That was a fantastic way to end his celebratory breakfast. My only complaint, which is more of a suggestion, is to have flavored cream available besides half and half. The coffee is strong and delicious and our cups were never empty. Thank you, Jamie and staff, for a wonderful and yummy first visit. We'll be back!

My husband joked that we should've gotten a drink so they would come back and take our order haha Jokes aside, the food was so freaking good. We ordered: 1. breakfast burrito with tater tots: 5/5 bro so much protein... def not veggie heavy haha 2. Deep fried French toast with strawberries: 5/5 I love that you also get a side of eggs and some kind of protein so it's not just sweets! We got it with sausage and over easy eggs. Honestly the burrito was so much that I could barely eat this one... still delicious tho 3. Biscuit: 4/5 I prefer a more crispy outside but my husband loved it and he is a biscuit connoisseur loool love that you can ask for a single order of biscuits! Another note, I didn't take a picture of the menu, but they are very transparent about how some of their foods are cooked for dietary restrictions. As someone who has specific food sensitivities, I am super appreciative of these kinds of things even tho it did not apply to me this time. It's loud inside but there are flies outside so pick your poison! They have the fly repellant device but only two and one went missing but they tried looking for us!

That place" I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it was good. Really good. Better than I remembered and definitely on the "we need to put this on our restaurant rotation". Double cheese burger and a rice beer for me, fried chicken sandwich and nitro stout for the wife, and a cheese flatbread pizza for the kiddo. Shout to our sever Gabriel who was super chill and there when we needed him.

    Nice Place for Drinks and Friends Gathering!…read more Dust Bowl Brewing Co. has a popular taproom just south of Sacramento, in Elk Grove's historic district. The Old Town Tap House is inside a beautiful historic brick building in the Old Town area. It has two huge 30-tap bars, very high ceilings, beautiful lighting, some private rooms, and a big outdoor area with fire pits and games. I really like the indoor space and the atmosphere here. PARKING: Plenty of parking in the complex. RESTROOM: Decent, clean, and bright. SERVICE: friendly, efficient The outdoor seating is beautiful, but the train tracks are basically right next to the restaurant. The train horn and noise can be very loud and last for a while, so it can be hard to have a conversation when a train comes by. Recommended DRINKS: *Strawberry Margarita Seltzer: Sweet and fruity with nice strawberry flavor, refreshing and easy to drink. *Marionberry Kettle Sour: Tart and fruity with a nice berry flavor. Refreshing without being too heavy. *Dust Bowl IPA: Crisp and hoppy with a nice bitterness and classic IPA taste. Recommended FOODS: *House Salad: Fresh romaine and iceberg lettuce with jack and cheddar cheese, cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes, and chunky house-made croutons. Fresh and crunchy with good texture. *Meat Lovers Flatbread: Crispy artisan crust with mozzarella, provolone, ham, bacon, pepperoni, Italian sausage, and marinara. Cheesy, meaty, and filling. *Fried Chicken Bacon Ranch Flatbread: Crispy chicken with bacon, cheese, and creamy ranch. Rich and tasty. *Pulled Pork Sandwich: Tender pulled pork with a savory and smoky flavor. *Cobb Salad: Fresh and filling with the classic Cobb salad toppings. Overall, I think this is a good place for family or casual gathering with friends. There is plenty of space, good drinks, food, and a fun atmosphere.

First off let me say I haven't had anything here "okay". Every dish has been good or amazing! I'll start with the BBQ platter. Some of the best brisket Ive had. You can tell they really put time and effort into smoking the brisket. It's tender and flavorful. You honestly don't even need BBQ sauce! Ribs are just as good. Soft to the bite, seasoned well! I've had a few BBQ places up here and Streetzlan tops them all! Fish(Cod) I believe is a nice flaky piece of fish. Good soft tortilla! Shrimp is blackened but the Pork Taco takes the cake. Crunch with a layer of fat !!!! Smash Burger although I think isn't on the menu anymore is a simple burger but bursting with flavor. Patty to bun ratio is a . Some burger patties are too much imo or the bun is. Grilled onions and Pickles! Fries have a nice pink aioli and the cheese is a good blend of aged but not too much! Also I've had them catered twice, one for baby shower and one for birthday! Not a soul at each event complained! I got the street taco bar and separate 5Lb of brisket+pulled pork+salad.
