MY sister and I were walking through the midtown farmers market when she got hungry. She had her service dog with her, so we picked a dog friendly place to eat... that lead us to Jack's Urban Eats. I was surprised it was not busier. As we walked up, we liked that there was outdoor seating available... bc we like to people watch, and the midtown farmers market was definitely buzzing. When we walked in, it was very clean. There were tables and booths available next to the big bright windows. We checked out the menu on the wall and while she used the restroom, I ordered our food. She got the bbq chicken sandwich, and I got the turkey club. I paid at the register then grabbed our number, which you put on the end of the table so they can deliver your food to you. We first decided to sit inside at a booth next to the window, but the tables were pretty close to the benches, and they couldn't be adjusted. Our food just happen to be brought to our table, so I picked up our plates and we easily found a spot to sit outside. I'm not sure if you buy something from the farmers market and then allowed to sit here and eat, but there were others bringing their food from the over to eat. My sister enjoyed her bbq chicken sandwich. The bbq sauce was good and they put crispy onions on it. I am not a fan of the turkey club. I felt like the bread is too thick. The turkey was pretty thin and bland. Not enough mayo or avocado. Zero seasonings. I boxed it up and gave it to my sister, who also boxed the rest of hers up. I may not be a fan, but if there's something on the menu that you recommend, let me know. read more

We decided on Jacks for dinner as my pregnant sis was craving a salad. Jacks is a fast casual restaurant offering farm fresh carved meat plates, sandwiches and salads. As we were ordering, I noticed a special item of the season, the Heirloom BLTA. Within 10mins of ordering, I heard my name being called and my sandwich was being placed on the counter. Each employee seemed pleasant and helpful. On the very first bite, the garlicky aioli and spicy arugula stood out, while the toasted sourdough had a great chew along with thick slices of maple glazed bacon, heirloom tomatoes, and avocado. This sandwich was made fresh to order for $12.95 This location is very spacious with plenty of indoor seating and a large patio. It was a windy evening so we decided to sit inside. Parking may be an issue since the area is so busy, but you can find parking usually within a block a two. read more

If I could rate this higher than 5 I would! Customer service was incredible, most workers were in their teens or young twenties that I encountered with and they were all phenomenal. There is a small lot behind the building with parking revered for their patrons. The menu has so many options it was hard to choose! The restaurant was clean and bright with seating offered inside and outside. We got the halloumi sandwich- fantastic, no notes! And the chicken bbq sandwich also so so yummy with a perfect tomato slice on it. Garlic fries were a huge portion and delicious read more

Came here for lunch on a Saturday. You can either order a pre-crated salad or sandwich or create your own salad. I got the summer salad with chicken and it was ok. I had to ask for additional dressing as I couldn't taste anything on it initially. I also thought there should be more toppings on it. My husband did a create your own salad and it was good for him. Our son got the kid's grilled chicken with mac and cheese and he loved it! It was a nice quick and casual spot for a healthy lunch downtown. read more

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. read more

I was shocked to see the star rating wasn't higher. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Very urban decor with a nod to skateboarding and surfing. Booth or tables. We always split our choices in order to experience two items when we go somewhere new. We enjoyed the Flowerchild salad which will keep me coming back. Perfectly dressed with unique ingredients. The Reuben sandwich was also spectacular with lean tasty and moist meat topped with all the right goods. Friendly staff and a great value. The bonus is that they have a plethora of vegetarian choices so you won't have to settle if you're not a meat eater. read more

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. read more

Three of us came for lunch on a Saturday after wandering around midtown market. Restaurant not busy and service pleasant and prompt. Order at counter and food delivered to table. Orders were tri tip plate (small amount of steak) sides of charred corn (large portion very tasty) and Mac and cheese (we all had a bite everyone agreed very good but better if hot). Also had 3 salads (1 build your own, 1 side Caesar and 1 steak) steak was disproportionate to amount of lettuce and everyone disappointed that dressing drizzled on top and not mixed in. read more

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 read more

Jack's Urban Eats - Create Your Own - American Near Me - Sacramento, California

I'm probably about to confuse the algorithm a little bit because I'm actually a repeat customer of Jack's Urban Eats despite the mixed reviews. I've always had a good experience. My past orders have been correct, the food has been flavorful, and Usually on point every time. But today... oh no, Jack I've been under the weather and finally had enough of an appetite to treat myself, so I was really looking forward to this meal. The chicken strips were cooked perfectly (thank you for that)... but the sweet potato fries? Baby... they were BURNT burnt. Like, "how did these make it out the kitchen?" burnt. I sat there looking at the fries like... "Jack, why would you do me like this today of all days?" I hate to say it because you've been consistent for me before, but this one hurt a little. Enough to make me side-eye coming back. Jack... we were doing so good. You probably lost me over some fries! read more

Service was great, I liked the sandwich but the Mac and cheese was pretty bland. Fries were awesome but I love basically any type of fry

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. read more

Service is great. Atmosphere is wonderful. Food, I got an eyelash in my salad or a nose hair. Couldn't tell. Ewww gross. They made another salad but I won't be returning because people should be mindful of fake eyelashes when you work in the food hospitality industry. Look at your nose hairs and have them trimmed before work. read more

Disappointed!! Well first let me explain I drove to this location as I had tried the Roseville Fountains location and was unimpressed. I wanted to come here because I ate here several years ago and loved its great tasting food and generous portions. They did not have the turkey sandwich I was seeking, it was fresh turkey, stuffing touch of gravy and cranberry sauce, it seems it's a Thanksgiving thing now. So I asked for Turkey sandwich with cranberry sauce. It was a small portion and cost $15.00 no sides. The bun was about the size of a hamburger bun it was tasty as was the turkey, however as I said a small amount of turkey since it was uneven. It is counter service and staff were friendly enough but not helpful in customizing my order were a bit rushed though it was not busy. It is bright with lots of windows, decors nothing special,they do have tables outdoors on the street. As I live in the suburbs the parking meters were difficult to use unlike others I've encountered. read more

I ate at urban eats for the first time. I came in for the hamburger99 special basic burger plus fries. Which is came out to about eleven plus dollars. I was kind of disappointed.The burger tastes like gas from the grill. I prefer hamburgers cooked on a griddle and not gas flame. Very nice upscale place but I probably would never eat there again. read more

I used to love jacks as a kid but they have gone downhill. They are money hungry and skimp out on everything basically.

While in Sacramento, I stumbled upon this place. I ordered their garlic fries which were so delicious! They were fresh out of the oil and the garlic parmesan seasoning on top with their ranch dressing is pure perfection! I also got the harvest salad with chicken it was really a delicious salad with sweet potatoes cranberries apples so good! Then I got there turkey sandwich which was a special that had sliced apples and Brie. They're turkey is real roasted turkey my favorite type of sandwich! I will definitely be back. read more

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.

Came here for lunch with my girlfriend. Customer service was good and the spot is nice. I enjoy the outside seating area. My gf loved her Asia bbq steak salad. It's one of her favorite salads in the Sacramento area. Only issue she has was the salad came out without the meat. So she had to go back in to get the meal added. I ordered a turkey and cheese sandwich with French fries. The fries were average. The sandwich was good but nothing spectacular. The bread was the best part. read more

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! read more

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. read more

We went to the Jack's Urban Eats on East Bidwell in Folsom for lunch and the sandwich I had was not as good as I remembered from a prior experience. Not much meat and lots of bread with a very sweet honey mustard and that's about it. My granddaughter had a mango salad which she said was "delicious". She was served her salad fairly quickly, but my sandwich took another 10 minutes before being brought to the table. No one in there had a smile on their face and really did not act like they wanted to be working. Regret giving a tip! read more

Worst experience i have had in a long time i place an order on line when i got there they gave me my order and i went back to work When i got to work the order was wrong they had given the wrong order and the name was wrong i called them and told them the problem and advise i could not come back she said she that the next time i place an order advise them what had happen and the next salad would be free ok no problem people make mistakes when i went in to get the free salad the lady made it seem like i was make up the story the salad is 20 i need my salad she had me jump through all types of hopes for a mistake they made terrible no compassion no nothing why would i make up the story she told me this is not how we do it here but someone did do it there .. they wasted my time and gas for giving me the wrong salad all their fault just know i will not spend another dollar with them read more

My husband and I were visiting family and had the opportunity to have Jack's Urban Eats salads. He ordered the Steak Salad containing chargrilled tri-tip, mixed greens, crumbled blue cheese, sun-dried cranberries, rosemary croutons, red onion, and balsamic vinaigrette salad.

The salads were very hearty and delicious. The service was very fast and efficient. The restaurant was packed even though we ordered for pick-up. They have outside seating.

Visible on the receipt is the "No pickled red onion" which was my sole request on the order and apparently was viewed by the kitchen as a quaint notion that could be ignored.

I love Jacks urban fries and their impossible taco salad. Unfortunately the taco salad isn't available anymore and their newest salad, the Flower Child, I absolutely hate. The flavors I do not like and components of the salad I am not a huge fan of. I would give Jacks 5/5 if they still had the salad. The only other vegetarian option is the halloumi sandwich which is ok and the fries. read more

Not just salads! Man I love this casual dining spot. It's consistently high quality and dependable. They are famous for their salad options. I do love their salmon cobb (so much Avo and salmon) and you can also build your own salad from a variety of options. And they have so much more to offer than just salads- their sides are always good (mashed potatoes and the Mac n cheese are popular) and their plates are generous (try the tri tip!) Don't miss the urban fries (drizzled chili oil and blue cheese dressing). read more

Jack's Urban Eats has lasted throughout the years despite the fact that it is located in Lohman's Plaza - where the parking lot is one of the worst-designed parking lots in Sacramento. My friends and I have dined here numerous times. I can always count on Jack's for a solid meal and used to go fairly regularly for lunch with co-workers. My goto was generally the create-your-own salad where you pick your base of greens, 6 toppings, a dressing, and add a protein such as chicken or beef tri-tip. While not inexpensive or generously portioned, the ingredients were always fresh and tasty. During my most recent visit, they seem to have changed things where you place your order and pay at the counter - instead of getting your meal, then paying at the end of the line. I had the Sonoma steak plate ($16.75): chargrilled steak topped with mushrooms, shallots, blue cheese and balsamic reduction with a side of Mac and cheese and roasted Brussel sprouts. And my husband ordered the chicken club sandwich with side of French fries ($14.95). Both were fine dishes - fresh and tasty still! read more
