    It was ok. I wouldn't order it again.
    Melissa S.

    Today was a day to celebrate!! My girlfriend had the car for a few hours and she choose to pick me up and take me to lunch. What a treat. She has tons of friends so she could have easily chose another one, but today was my day. I chose Jack's Urban Eats as it's close to Capital Park and I could have walked there if I wanted to, but she offered a ride and it being 80 degrees out already I couldn't say no. Parking is a pain in downtown and especially near the restaurants. Luckily someone was pulling out in front and we snagged a spot. Unfortunately, it was still a paid spot and the downside was you have to use a app. That was a challenge. My husband has the app already on his phone and makes it look like a breeze. It's not. I miss when the side streets used to be free parking. I like eating at Jack's Urban Eats. They serve fresh, made to order salads. I almost ordered the blackened salmon cobb salad, but at last minute read the sign that said Chimichurri Steak Bowl next to their checkout counter. I went with the new offering as it hasn't been put on the menu yet. The Chimichurri Steak Bowl has the following in it: Chargrilled tri tip, arugula, cilantro lime rice, pickled onions, tomatoes, and sweet potato with fried shallots and chimichurri for $15.95. Two dollars cheaper then the Salmon salad I was looking at. The salad was ok, but I wouldn't order it again. First, I'm not a fan of arugula. It gets caught in my throat and makes me cough. It's also hard to eat as it's so long and pieces stick out of your mouth when you're trying to get a mouthful. It's just not a pretty sight. The cilantro lime rice was a really good touch. I enjoyed it so much more then the arugula. A bite of anything and the rice was tasty. The tomatoes were only a few, but they were really good. I don't recall any fried shallots on my dish or maybe those were the grilled onion looking things. I expected them to be fried like when you top the green bean casserole. The tri tip was ok. A bit on the tough side, it was hard to chew and got swallowed in one bite. Overall I'll order a different salad next time, probably the blackened salmon salad as that was my first choice. She also ordered some garlic fries that we shared. they were tasty, but limp. I'm not a fan of limp fries, I like mine crispy. I usually order crispy fries and they fry them twice or leave them in longer, I'm not sure what they do, but they come out crispy. Timing is everything. We arrived at 11am when they opened and got the last parking space available so we picked the right time to arrive. We were second in line when we arrived and ordered quickly and got our meals brough out to us on the patio. When we left at Noon there was a long line to order and lots of the tables were taken with people eating. They have a really nice patio to eat at, but by noon it's all in the sun. When we arrived we were partially shaded and it was pleasant, but by the time we left the sun had moved into my eyes. There were several other people enjoying the spring time weather we are having. I'll be back because I really like Jack's Urban Eats, but I will be ordering something different.

    Kids Plate - Turkey with Mac and Cheese
    Courtney O.

    My husband was craving Jack's Urban Eats for dinner last night so we stopped in for take-out. It was pretty empty inside minus a couple of families, but the inside was nice, spacious and clean. We ordered a large Jack's Urban Fries with added Chicken Strips, the Kids Turkey and Mac and Cheese plate and the new seasonal Turkey Brie Sandwich. Jack's Urban Fries are honestly the reason why my husband craves going there and I agree with him - they are so simple, yet pack such flavor. I actually really enjoyed the Turkey Brie Sandwich, but there was a bit too much lettuce for my taste. My daughter liked her Kids Plate and the Mac and Cheese was nice and cheesy. Overall, Jack's Urban Eats can be pricy like most places nowadays, but it is a great choice for a healthy fast food option.

    My friends were hyping up the steak salad at Jack Urban Eats so much that my friend and I haaaad to try it out ourselves and see what was up! We arrived around 6:20pm on a Wednesday night, sat down, and got our food within 10 minutes! I did the build your own salad and I got: mixed greens, roasted corn, cucumber, croutons, bleu cheese, oranges, and red onion with tri-tip and balsamic vinaigrette. I was craving a salad for a while and this definitely hit the spotttt! I was a bit iffy the first bite since i rarely get balsamic (i'm usually a ranch or caesar girlie) but it just got better and better and my friend and I both thoroughly enjoyed our salad!! Yay for trying something new and liking it :D

    This location is all right. Parking can be a little tricky being that it's downtown. You should be able to find street parking, of course you have to pay for it at all times now. Maybe it's because of this location that it's tends to get busier. The service is decent enough and there's an available seating inside and outside. I do find this location a little bit smaller compared to the Loehmann's plaza one. Every time I've been here the food tasted good. You should definitely check out Jack's urban eats if you haven't already.

    Great tasting food. Fast service. Staff are very nice. Comfortable atmosphere. Parking can be a bit of a challenge but worth the walk down the block. $$

    For the umpteenth time my delivery order from Midtown was wrong! Tonight: not a single piece of orange on my Asian chicken salad. It is a main ingredient. Last time: salad double dressed at restraunt. Dressing has always been on side. Salad ruined and leaked in my car. Before that: ordered 2 sides. One came in normal container, which was sitting in the midst of my vegetables which were not in a container at all. Filthy! Time before that the wrong dinner was delivered and there is no one to contact! Tonight they did not answer the phone even tho they were open!!! They used to be good. I am trying to eat healthy but they are incompetent and don't care!!! And they are expensive, delivery especially so. BEWARE. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

    Watered down Buffalo chicken saladsalad
    Kim F.

    Terrible customer service! The chick at the register looked us up and down when we asked a question about a sandwich. She never greeted us and acted like it was a bother. I ordered a Buffalo chicken salad, it tasted like wet lettuce and the dressing was watered down. I asked for a different salad dressing and the same chick at the register acted like it was a problem again. Never going back to this restaurant! Elk Grove Jacks Urban Eats has far better customer service and better tasting food

    When I want something made and not prepared. Freshness is key and Jack's Urban Eats hit the spot, and my craving for properly made food. Service always follows with a smile and a thank you.

    This location is in the heart of midtown and the perfect location for lunch in any given day. The food here is always fresh. Great variety salads and sandwiches. Food is made to order. My son loves the chicken tenders, my fiancée loves their salads and u love ordering their specialty sandwiches. Always a good time with awesome food here.

    Banh Mi Sandwich - Better than expected. Not truly authentic but they tried and it was pretty tasty.
    Corinna T.

    Jack's is definitely a go to spot for me whether that be with family, friends, or coworkers. They have such a huge variety of options to please any palate. The location is just 5 minutes, walking distance, away from where I work downtown. It's convenient, they're always providing quick and efficient customer service, and their food seems to never disappoint - most of the time. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Half of that outdoor seating is under the shade too which is always a plus! Last week I came with a coworker when the summer weather was tolerable for a change. We sat where the sun beamed on us giving us that much needed warmth after being in a freezing office all morning. I ate the buffalo chicken sandwich with a side of urban fries (these are a must!). I will say the buffalo chicken sandwich was meh, I missed that crunchy exterior. If I have to wait 10 or so minutes for this sandwich my expectations better be met. I won't be getting this from here anytime soon. However, this week we went again and I tried their Banh Mi sandwich. This was much better than expected! Not truly an authentic Banh Mi but Jack's is trying and did their thing so I was pleased and would happily order again. This is coming from a gal who isn't a huge steak fan. I truly enjoyed how tender the steak was piled underneath crunchy carrots and daikon. These were a great contrast to each other smothered in the sriracha lime mayo. Yum!

I visited sweetgreen - Healthy Salads, Wraps, and Bowls in Sacramento, CA [1629 S St] on Sunday, 05/09/26, around 12:15 PM. For May 2026, the deal was still going on for the $12 Chicken Tostada Bowl. I had this bowl at the other location; it was so delicious that I had to order it again here while taking advantage of the offer. It was a literal win-win situation. I customized the Chicken Tostada Bowl with baby spinach, white rice, raw carrots, tomatoes, cilantro, tortilla chips, feta crumble, and antibiotic-free blackened chicken. I included an extra addition of the lime cilantro jalapeño sauce and sweetgreen hot sauce. I was pleased with the execution of the bowl. The ingredients were beyond fresh and locally sourced. The flavor completely satisfied my taste buds. The bowl was portioned greatly, and thus was fulfilling. I enjoyed consuming the bowl in front of the establishment outdoors. This location presented a nice, peaceful environment in the heart of Midtown Sacramento. The parking situation was a bit of a challenge, since the Ice Blocks development is known to be busy in general. I'd prefer visiting the location on Fair Oaks + Howe, for the reason that parking is much easier. However, the Midtown location is just as great and meets expectations. It's nice to know that I can visit, in case I happen to be in the area.

I didn't want to order from the app and order in person to see how the service was, but upon arrival there was no one there to take my order, just an ordering kiosk. So it is best to order off the app for convenience. I've ordered off the app a couple of times and my food is always ready to go. Overall the juice came out a couple of minutes after ordering. I was very impressed with what I've ordered, which was Apples and Ginger. I can taste the quality of the juice, and the fact that it was under $4 was unbeatable. I would highly recommend this place for not only their food items but their beverages as well!

There was ample bacon, lettuce, cheese and sauce to make it a balanced bite. The bun was high end brioche style, they really went all out on quality of ingredients. A standard burger build but done perfectly! Beer was cold, food was great and the ambiance is a perfect local bar. Great spot to go if you don't mind hunting for a parking space.

I live by Obo, I've been to the other location, and I've been to the Kitchen twice, so I'm familiar with the Selland family. In the end, you are getting a quality meal in a contemporary and clean setting - what more can you ask for? I always opt for the tuna melt. It's a healthy dose of tuna with cheese on buttery sourdough. I've been trying to be more carb conscious, so I opted for the side salad. It was a great lunch. The bread wasn't too greasy and there was a great portion of tuna on it. Each bite was full and buttery. The side salad was beautiful and it was topped off with fresh strawberries which are in season now. It was paired with not overwhelming vinaigrette. There are a plethora of hot items, sandos, salads, and other items to choose from. It's somewhat of elevated, classic lunch joint. My only grip is that it is $$$, but inflation...am I right? Without a drink, i left with a $25 bill. Could have put it in the 3 star realm for me, but it was a solid meal and cool atmosphere. Seems like a great spot for a drink, to eat outside, or for a casual, healthy lunch that is on the expensive side. 12pm-1am is a hot time to go.
