Always a fan of Jacks Urban Eats! This place offers an assortment of items to choose from - mostly sandwiches, soups, salads, and mac and cheese. We always get the Urban Fries - 100% a must. Fries with blue cheese and some spices. The cheese is melted and blends sooo well with the flavors. The smaller portion is more than enough for two people BBQ Tri-Tip sandwich - really good and a good amount of meat in there. It comes with a pickle. I do wish for the sandwiches they would offer a side considering the price. Overall very happy. read more

Never again. They only service take out orders while in house orders take 15-20 minutes. No proper prioritization. Never coming back. Easy. May 4 - No, leave me alone. It was a kids chicken tenders and fries with a grilled cheese and I watched 15 to go orders prepped and bagged while we waited. Leave me alone. read more

My first time eating at Jack's Urban Eats. Located in a strip mall and parking was a bit challenging even around 4:00 pm. There was 12 of of us and some ordered salads and the others ordered sandwiches. Everything looked fresh and delicious. I am only reviewing my order of Reuben NY Sandwich and fries. The Reuben sandwich was really good. Good portion and tender. After I got home and looked at my receipt I noticed I was charged a full order of fries instead of the $3.95 fries that you get when ordering a sandwich. Wish I had looked at my receipt before I left! I contacted Jacks Urban Eats and asked about being charged for the fries as full order and Jacks took care of it and refunded me and apologized for the mistake. Great service and communication from Jacks! read more

Our 19th hole was here after a round of golf at nearby Boundary Oaks golf course. The 12 of us arrived around a little before 4pm today Wednesday. Ample seating. The ordering process was up at the counter. Pay and you're given a tent card with a #. Your food is brought to you. What hubby & I ordered- * he went with the carnitas bowl * me with the steak salad. We switched halfway. Both dishes were great. Fresh ingredients and the meat was very flavorful. We each also got draft craft beers. Went well with what we had to eat. Located in a strip mall where parking was a little challenging. read more

I regret that I forgot to take a photograph. I ate the "Asian inspired" chicken salad. It was fantastic. I was tempted to lick the bowl. The caramelized seed mix was a great addition. Staff is welcoming and helpful. Service was speedy. (The iced tea is meh, but the salad's crunch and freshness and dressing outweighed the iced tea.) read more

Love Jacks! My trip this time was underwhelming... I'd say don't order togo and just eat it there. I tried the Tri-tip for the first time and it was chewy and didn't have much flavor... wouldn't recommend. Also, fries were soggy and not enough chili or blue cheese sadly. Man, I really love this place! But it didn't hit the mark this time. Cashier was super sweet! read more

Jacks Urban Eats - Walnut Creek - BBQ Tri-Tip Sandwich & Urban Fries - Salad Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Food does not really have a good presentation vibe. Food is also a little too pricy. I ordered a burger with tri-tip and it was like all tendon red/pink meat. It was hard to eat and it was over $12 without fries or anything. That's a little depressing. This is mainly self serve besides for them to bring you the food, so it is best to not tip them because the price is on the higher end. Food is also not super tasty so wonder what we are paying so expensive for. read more

This was my first time trying Jack's Urban Eats, and it was pretty good! For food, I got a classic tri tip sandwich. I thought the tri tip itself was pretty great. The meat had a nice chew, without being dry or overcooked. The mustard sauce was super tangy but also sweet and delicious. The bun was also perfectly soft. My wife got the chicken Caesar salad. Everything about the salad seemed very fresh. The chicken was moist and flavorful, the croutons were crunchy, buttery, and garlicky. The veggies were very crisp and fresh. My wife didn't love the dressing--it was a bit on the bland side for her. But it's possibly her favorite Caesar salad in the area so far. I also loved the entire vibe of the place. Pretty cozy, but it will get loud once it gets packed. There's a great variety in the beverages, including fresh lemonades and teas. Being able to grab your own utensils is great too. Overall, we'll definitely be coming back to try more things on the menu. It looks like there's a lot of tasty--and pretty healthy--stuff! read more

We had the BBQ Chicken Bowl and the grilled salmon salad. Both were good. The bowl had a nice rice base with a great mix of veggies with the fresh grilled chicken and a great BBQ sauce. The salad was good, with lots of radishes. Overall, everything was fresh tasting. read more

Solid place for custom salads, sandwiches and hearty dinner plates. Reminds me of a place named Plutos that's no longer around. You order at the counter and staff are super nice. The meats, vegetables and breads are good quality. I had their holiday sandwich special with carved turkey, cranberry sauce and Brie cheese on whole wheat. Really good sandwich. The seating area has booths and standard tables. There's also outdoor seating. read more

Came here for a quick lunch and enjoyed it. The parking lot is a bit crazy and very busy. They have lots of indoor seating and some tables outside with umbrellas. You order first, then sit down with your number. Food came out quick. We had sweet potato fries, chicken Caesar, and the Chinese chicken salads. Everything was good - lots of chicken. read more

A great variety of salads are available here, as well as the option to make your own. The ingredients were mainly fresh (not the strawberries) and the proteins we chose were well prepared. Orders are taken at the counter and then you can find your seat. They have about equal amounts of seating inside as outside. The people working there were super nice and the service was fairly quick even though they were in the middle of their lunch rush. Quick note: we parked upstairs and the first elevator let us out right next to the restaurant. read more

I was looking for a "healthy" spot to eat lunch and found it here on yelp since I was in the area. The inside has an industrial feel, was clean and had a decent amount of seating. The staff were friendly also. I usually get chicken over steak dishes wherever I go but I love a good chimichurri. This bowl was so fresh, delicious and filling! Definitely hit the spot!! read more

Jack's Urban Eats in Walnut Creek never disappoints. I was obsessed with Jack's in Davis when I was a student, so having a friend who lives in Walnut Creek is the perfect excuse to keep the tradition alive--plus it was her first time, which made it even more fun. I always order the spicy buffalo salad and urban fries, and they are consistently so good. read more

My favorite sandwich/salad place in the area that offers delicious soft gluten free bread. This spot has ample parking space. The inside is very clean and the servers have always been very friendly. The tri tip is very tender and works well in salads or sandwiches. I usually get two different sandwiches each time I visit with my family and I haven't had a miss so far. read more

Food was ok, nothing special got the chimmichuri steak bowl, if you can call it that. It was half full and half of is white rice, about 4oz of steak and maybe 3-4 pieces of sweet potato. Had a piece of order receipt in my food too, ugh disappointed for the first visit. read more

Food was incredible, service was great. Will be back. Salad was fresh and crisp. The soup was seasoned perfectly and felt like home. Some of the best butternut squash I've had in a long time. My lunch including dessert was incredible. I'll def be back read more

Had dinner here after my husband's chiropractor visit nearby. Very friendly and we were able to sample some of the meats before ordering. I enjoyed my buffalo chicken salad and have ordered the same salad through DoorDash several times. Consistent quality and service! read more

Jacks food is SUPER tasty and the workers are always amazing and efficient. Favorites are the Achiote chicken bowl, urban fries, tri tip plate, Mac n cheese, Cajun chicken sandwhich! However I wish they had organic spring mix/ kale/ salad base options :( especially since kale is on the dirty dozen in terms of pesticide use. We used to do a big family order atleast once every week but my family and I definitely have it less now ever since we found out that their spring mix / salad options aren't organic. If you don't care about that you'll enjoy their food, drinks, deserts and overall vibe. read more

I like Jack's Urban Eats - cooked fresh and good tasting food. Easy for fast meal and pick up orders. Service is good

I love Jack's Urban Eats, I always have. Back in the day it was a place we came to after school. One thing I always get to share with the table is an order of the urban fries. I'm not usually a blue cheese fan, but this hits the spot! Order some of these! My go to order is the steak salad, sub the blue cheese for Feta, it's filling and is the perfect meal on a hot day. Once in a while I'll order the bbq tri tip sandwich, the bbq sauce is also really good with it. The service is quick and it's always busy here. One thing about this location is the parking is always full, there is a parking garage but sometimes one side will be closed and when I went a few weeks ago the side I wanted to park on the entrance was closed so I had to go all the way around. read more

Absolutely love Jacks! Discovered this spot on one of the hottest days (tho it's always hotter in Walnut Creek) and was pleasantly surprised. Cool chill ambiance and friendly service. Lots of options on the menu and we split a salad and I got a chicken sandwich. Plus their handcrafted lemonade. Everything was so fresh, great portion sizes, and most importantly, tasty! Plenty of comfy booths inside and outside there's room for seating too. Highly recommend this Jacks! read more

Okay so I first discovered this place in Sacramento and was so happy when I saw they have a Bay Area location. The food is really good, I haven't had a bad item here. One thing I absolutely love and crave is the urban fries. I'm not a fan of blue cheese but this is game changer. The staff is really nice and quick, store was clean and overall good vibes. Great fresh food especially for fast food! read more

I've had Jacks twice now and honestly have been disappointed both times. Once was several years ago and o don't remember why, but I didn't feel like I needed to go back. Then recently, we had a door dash order delivered to work so I figured I would try again. I did a create your own salad and man was it sad. My container was not full as if they forgot some lettuce. For each topping I swear I got three pieces. Three pieces of broccoli, three red onions, three pieces of tofu, a few pear tomato halves, and maybe 1/8 of a sweet potato. And it was nearly $20 after paying for extra toppings. I was looking forward to loving my salad and ended up still being hungry. :( read more

Wow! Today I went to Jack's for the third time, and I enjoyed it immensely. The food here is simply fantastic, especially considering it is a counter service restaurant. The service is friendly and knowledgeable; they deliver your food to your table after you order. I have had the Blackened Salmon Cobb Salad twice. I enjoyed it so much the first time that I had to have it again. The portions of ingredients are expertly balanced, and farm fresh. On my third visit, I decided to try the turkey plate. I mixed white and dark meat and for my sides I had mashed potatoes with gravy, Beary sauce, and mac & cheese. It lived up to my expectations. The turkey tasted like it was homemade. They also have a gluten-free menu and if I you order something off of it, they are very careful to prepare it for you in a safe manner. The ambience is nothing special. But it is fine. read more

On Wednesday I went with my parents around 1pm for lunch. There was no line, but lots of customers eating or waiting for their food. All of the outside tables for 4 were taken outside so we sat inside. They advertised at the cash register a summer salad. Peaches, sweet onions, and strawberries. We got two salads and split them between the 3 of us. It was a smaller salad than expected. It looked like a half salad versus a full salad. My dad got the salmon on his. I tried it, it was only ok. A bit on the dry side and tasted a little fishy. Nothing like the salmon we BBQ ate home and buy from the Chinese fish market. He was happy with it. There was just enough salad for the 3 of us. You get a bigger bang for your buck if you order one of the menu salads. I would order the summer salad again. It was very tasty. The decor is really nice. I like the California Dreaming sign. It makes me think of The Beach Boys. My mom loved the painting of the bird with the abstract background and heart. The temperature was a little cool inside, but not bad. The bathrooms were clean. If you are looking for a salad for lunch try Jack's, you won't be disappointed. read more

I love this place even more than I did before. Walked in for a halloumi sandwich and had the pleasure of meeting Austin, one of the business owners. I asked about what could be made for my gluten free son. Being a chef himself, he was so incredibly knowledgeable about celiac restrictions and advised that most anything on the menu could be prepared gf by their staff. They have implemented extra precautions to their preparation that enable them to do so, including removing gluten from their sauces and marinades, without sacrificing flavor, adding a separate prep station, shipping in special gf buns for sandwiches (after lots of taste testing to find the perfect bun) and dedicating a fryer for fries only to prevent cross contamination. Talk about nirvana! This is the next best thing to a dedicated gf restaurant. They even pack gf meals separately to go from those containing gluten. I'm beyond impressed. My son chose the chicken club sandwich with fries. He dove in when I arrived home and the way he was wolfing it down said it all. He said the bun was delicious, and good gf bread is tough to find, so his approval says a lot! He loved the entire meal and said he wants to go back again to try more options. The real test came in the hours following the meal when he didn't have a gluten reaction. We now know this is truly a safe place for him to dine. My halloumi sandwich was phenomenal per usual. So many flavors converging. I especially love the fried zucchini touch. This is a must try for anyone who likes vegetarian meals. The staff members are always so nice and more than willing to accommodate, making the service exceptional. Highly recommend this place to anyone, but thrilled to add it as a great place for those with dietary restrictions as well. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. It's a casual place. Parking can be a bit of a drag during peak dining times, but not impossible. The food and service are worth a couple parking laps. read more

I used to love this place. I went there every week just for their achiote chicken salad. They recently changed the recipe--swapped wild rice for white rice and reduced the amount of kale. Rice is more than half the dish now, with a thin layer of veggies. The rice is mushy and doesn't hold the same texture of the previous recipe. Other than that, the service is always good and people are friendly. It does get a little loud during rush hour. I just wish they didn't ruin my favorite dish. ): I included a couple pictures for comparison. Guess which one is the newer version. read more

My mouth is watering just typing this review. My office used Jacks Urban Eats for catering not too long ago and let me tell you, it was amazing. They got to my office on time which is always appreciated. Not only that but their black beans, veggies and turkey were cooked to perfection. Everyone said the mashed potatoes were delicious as well and buttery just the way I like it. I had to go on a walk the last 30 minutes of my break because it was incredibly filling. I would absolutely order from them again, I want to check this restaurant in person to try something else on the menu. Definitely give this place a try if you are looking for flavorful and filling food, you will NOT be disappointed. read more

I always order the steak salad and it's always been consistently good! Plenty of seating inside and out. Place your order at the counter, you'll get a stand with a number, and they will bring your food to you. I think it's too hot to sit outside in Walnut Creek during the summer. Amount of food is a lot and you can help yourself to water. Just be aware parking can be difficult during the lunch hour. There are always plenty of cars looking for a space, so lots of competition. read more

Excellent spot for salads especially on a hot day! Tons of choices for salads and sandwiches too! I ordered the Santa Fe chicken, minus the chicken and add tri tip. Keep the cilantro dressing- you won't regret it! It was absolutely delicious. Generous portions and add a side of cheese bread if you desire. Parking is hit or miss. Plenty of it, but can get packed due to all the surrounding restaurants around. Will absolutely come back! read more

Yikes. So awful I have nothing to say about the food. Lovely space. Tragic and unfortunate

I should start by saying I frequent Jacks at least once a week in the Sacramento area, so I'm obviously a fan of the food. We were driving through this area and had never been to this location so we decided to stop for lunch. The staff here were full of life and very friendly, engaging with every customer in the restaurant. The food was great, as expected. read more

Long time customer. Usually eat there in the dining area. When we do, the staff are attentive and friendly. When we order "to go" there's almost always a problem with the order. Took a break from patronizing for a few months. Today we ordered online. Parking sucked so I grabbed the food and headed home. Should have checked the food. It's a simple thing, but my salad included olives & requested extra. Salad came with no olives. Update - Jacks reached out and apologized. Sent a coupon for a discounted meal. We've been back a few times for entree and salads. Everything was fresh, delicious and prepared properly. read more
