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

Chicken Strips and Fries

When your order is PERFECT and they don't miss a single thing Extra sauce, fresh food, and everything I asked for! :)

Had an amazing meal here the other day with a friend! I'd never eaten here before, but really enjoyed it! Great service and ambience! I'll definitely come back!

Large urban fries to share
Kristina M.

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.

Some drivers feel like they don't have to follow the rules against parking in the fire lane
Angela J.

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

A quick taste of freshness and flavors. My Chinese Chicken Salad with a side cheese bread
Eugene R.

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.

Steven C.

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!

Stopped here on our way to the Sacramento airport and I'm really glad we found this place…read more Ordering was really easy. We were able to make an order online, and pick it up in exactly 30 mins, which was perfect! When we arrived, I immediately knew the sandwiches were going to be great.

For the price, I don't think you can get a better sandwich anywhere else. We ordered a corti special and chicken parm and we'll be stopping by here again to get the same thing on our way back. Highly recommend!

This place had been here for decades, there was a customer that was telling one of the staff that he used to come here as a little kid and nothing had changed..... This place is AWESOME!!! Like taking a Time Machine to how supermarkets used to be. Great service, extensive and fresh food. The Italian roots and flavor are everywhere in the walls in decorations and antiques and the service. The deli was super busy and we had to wait a bit even though we ordered online but that is worth the wait. We came like at 3pm so can't imagine this place during lunch. Packed with people and the variety, freshness and quality is impressive. I had an egg sandwich....i know a little weird but it was delicious in a Dutch crunch. Bread was crunchy but soft just perfect. Wife had an Italian sandwich which was so full of meat and peoperocinis and other stuff she could only eat half. My daughter and husband shared a chicken parm sandwich and the Corti special which you pick bread and veggies and they put whatever meat they want. Kids loved their sandwiches and next time I am in Sac area I will definitely get the parm sandwich which was delicious. Very cool place and excellent service and the cost of the sandwiches???? "Forget about it"!!!! Wow so inexpensive would happily pay double and usually do at most other Deli's we have been to with half the flavor or size than this place. What a neighborhood gem, so jealous!

I found out later, you can also either call your order in, or you can order pick up or delivery through DoorDash. I came back on the following Monday, and the place was still busy, but not as busy. They have a decent number of cash register stations taking orders. They have an extremely large menu. I counted 18 different Banh mi variations, and lots of other things For my starter, I wanted to try the. Pate chaud, which is pate in a puff pastry, but unfortunately, they were out. Instead, I got a mini steamed bao bun, with fried chicken in the middle. For my banh mi, I ordered the egg, sausage, and pork loaf, but instead, I got the grilled pork and egg. I'm not going to take off any stars or anything, because hey, misunderstandings happen, and it was still an amazing sandwich. They gave me a number, and it was a short wait for my sandwich. Between the registers and the people making the sandwiches in back, it's like an assembly line operation. They are quick, and the prices are extremely reasonable. The sandwich was very large, The bread was still warm. I took the sandwich home, but I ate the bao bun on the way home. It was very good. The bun had a good consistency, and the chicken was excellent. Seasoned well, just the right amount of breading, and tender on the inside. When I got the banh mi home, that's when I discovered the mixup. But I enjoyed it just as much. The egg was fluffy, and the pork was excellent. . It was a little bit sweet, like a Char siu. The pork was also very tender. The veggies were fresh. There was generous Portions. I was only going to eat half, but it was so good, I ended up eating the whole thing. I will definitely be back when I'm in South sac. Heck, that sandwich was so good, I would drive down from Rancho, just to get one. Thanks!

Were these chips hand-carved by artisans somewhere? Blessed by monks in the moonlight? I'm genuinely curious. I ordered the club, and I swear there was maybe one slice of turkey and a single, lonely piece of lettuce in the entire thing. The bun, however, was enormous, so the overall experience was like eating a fluffy bread pillow with a whisper of sandwich somewhere in the middle. Honestly, the sandwich felt a bit like a mime, the idea of a sandwich was there, but the substance was invisible. I even wondered if maybe the fillings weren't hungry themselves. By the end I felt less like I had eaten lunch and more like I had participated in a sandwich-themed illusion. Sadly, it looks like I'm Togo's-bound from here on out. I always root for unique local spots, but this felt more like a "Shamwich" than a sandwich. Tough times when the hungry leave hungry. Poor sand-wich-ship indeed.

They open at noon instead of being open when I was ready after church My husband and I walked up a couple blocks, looked at all the different restaurants, and I've seen this sandwich spot many times, but I've never tried it My husband said it was catered at his work one time, but it was the cold cuts and he said he liked it However, I walked in like the inside it was clean. I needed to use the restroom. The only thing I would say is the music in there is extremely loud in the bathroom that is. They only have one restroom, so hopefully you don't go with the group of people and everybody needs to use the restroom at once For both of us to eat it was about $30. I did get chips and a soda with mine. My husband just got the sandwich I got the. "The Damon Bruce" holy moly. This was so delicious. I only eat 1/2 brought the other half home. My brother was here and he ate it and he said it was so good too so it comes with onion ring steak and they ask you if you want to put any vegetable vegetables in there so I added the tomato the lettuce and I also wanted red onion in it. Let me tell you this is my new favorite sandwich place. I'm a little bummed that there's not one in Natomas! However, I'm really glad to know this place exist.. My husband got a steak sandwich. I don't know the name of it. He said he has never had a hot sandwich before and it was so good. He doesn't give vegetables and stuff, but he did get jalapeños in his and I seen him scarf it down so he must've loved it. They got barbecue chips ate a few of them. Their bags are a little bit different, but it was good. They didn't have root beer for soda that's my only downfall. It's one of my favorite drinks however I shouldn't be drinking soda anyways, but I did have Pepsi. This made for a great afternoon after church and I will make this one of my regular stops every month The only thing that was negative was the music being too loud in the bathroom and the girl that handed me the bag of the food, but I've learned that teenagers young people these days they are not like we used to be when we were young so it's kind of like just a handoff and I don't wanna say it was rude because I think this is just how teenagers are these days. 10/10 say you must try!

I'm likely in the minority in my opinion, but bear with me. I'm torn between a 3 and a 4, and…read moresticking with a 3 because this shop just didn't measure up ... to me. For starters, Ike's has its own way of doing things: plain mayo is not their thing. Only way to get plain mayo on a sandwich is to get lucky that there's a smidgen still left in a jar in the fridge after they prepare their house spread. They mix GARLIC and gawd knows what else for spices to make their Ike's sauce, so allergies beware. They offer plain mustard, but not plain mayo? For seconds, the sandwich bread is not up to the challenge of holding together the mountain of fillings inside. Pics prove my point. I want to eat a sandwich with my hands, not a plastic fork (or a shovel). And I don't want to wear it, not in public. Proportions, people! One size does not fit all. Now, in fairness, the meat, cheese, lettuce and tomato were fresh, chilled, and flavorful. However, IMHO $2.00+ to add equivalent of half an avocado is robbery when a whole avocado is $1 in the market. Fortunately I arrived when there wasn't another person in the store so I was able order up a plain ham and cheese sub with L, T, and A. The counter person was patient as I attempted to navigate the menu board. I communicated my wish for a simple sandwich and it arrived, albeit ridiculously overstuffed and above my budget expectations. Props for kindness and understanding. My first visit to any shop is always testing how well they do basics. So far, I'm not an Ike's fan. I'm no newcomer to sub sandwiches. At 82, and being a Massachusetts native, I've been a sub girl for at least 75 years, ever since I could wrap my fingers around the perfect sub roll. For more adventurous sandwich people, go for broke! This is your place!
