I need to talk about my favorite lunch location in Blount County: Kickback Jacks! This place keeps impressing me more and more every time I visit for lunch. I officially love this place! Address: 1139 Franck St. Alcoa, TN 37701 Food: 5/5 I got the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich, and it's the best chicken sandwich in Blount County! Perfectly crispy and sauced. The flavors are great, and it's cooked excellently every single time. The fries were also very good and seasoned well. My mom got the Bacon Jam Burger, and she absolutely loved it! Great flavors, but the one thing she would change is having the bacon cooked more so it's crispy instead of floppy. We also got the Nachos for an appetizer, and they were honestly the best nachos I've ever had! The chili and jalapeño cheese sauce were the stars of the dish, and the chips were perfect and didn't break at all. What impressed me the most was that the last time my mom got the nachos, they were not very appealing, but this time around the presentation was spot on. This tells me that this restaurant listens to criticism and fixes its mistakes/issues. ‍ Service: 5/5 Matthew was our server today, and he did a great job! Service was fast, and the staff did an excellent job informing us about additions to the menu. Atmosphere: 5/5 This restaurant is always clean, and the vibes are amazing. This is the place you want to eat at while watching sports. You'll feel right at home if you're a sports fan looking for a great place to eat. Value: 5/5 Our lunch was absolutely worth the price we paid. The portions were great, and we left full without feeling like we wasted anything we ordered. Final Thoughts Kickback Jacks is the place to be for a great lunch or a fun hangout spot to watch any sporting event. I highly recommend ordering the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich and the Nachos. So kick it back with Jacks and experience a great meal! FEAST Overall Rating: 5/5 Would I Go Back?: Absolutely read more

Very reasonably priced and good flavors. Fish and chips!! Fish was different meat to breading ratio but good. Service was quick and efficient. Very friendly. First time there. Ambiance was pleasant and welcoming. TVs aplenty! I'd go again without hesitation. Only down side to me was they didn't serve Coke products. Oh well! read more

Nice place, big and comfy. The Philadelphia steak egg rolls were delicious and my salad was huge that I was only able to eat some of it.

It seems other folks have had bad experiences, I've had a great time every time I come. It's bar food but it's tasty and reasonably priced. I'm not a drinker, but they give you huge glasses of iced tea. Portions are gigantic and service is good. They have large tables and if you go at around two o'clock you can spend lots of time with family chatting away. Really fun place. read more

First time here but wasn't too impressed. The service was very slow and rather unattentive. We had to remind them to bring a beer that we ordered after waiting quite awhile to order. The Philly cheesesteak was extremely salty and the fries were overcooked. The cheeseburger was pretty tasty from our group was what I was told. Looks like maybe a better spot to sit by the bar, grab a beer and watch a game as there's lots of TVs read more

Our waitress was very attentive. She did not wear a name tag or tell us her name but she took our drink order right away. We decided on an appetizer - firecracker shrimp. It was good and temperature hot. The kids chicken tenders & fries was very good - enough for us to sample and for the 2 year old to enjoy. The buffalo chicken wrap & hamburger was good. The French fries are very good. Only negative is it is a Pepsi only - no Coke so I had the Kolsch beer. read more

The dry rub grilled wings were EXCELLENT! And the little fries were great too! WOW! We'll be back! read more

We had a wonderful experience at Kickback Jacks on sunday afternoon. The food was AMAZIN!! Had spinach dip, fried pickles, wings and steaks. The spinach dip was definitely the best i have ever had. The steak was cooked to perfection, Wings had a great char. Our waitress, (Sophia) did a great job!!! She was fast and always knew what we needed before we asked. She was also super friendly and attentive. The only thing I have to make a note for improvement was, need more bartenders. There was only one bartender for the whole restaurant. . She was working g sooo hard. Drinks were great, and she was doing her best. I think they just need at least 2 bartenders. Definitely recommend. We will be bag again FOR SURE!! read more

Sending burned food out is NOT acceptable... my fries were not only burned... but it looked like the bits and pieces of burned relics were deliberately added as well... then toppings added to cover it! SHAME!!!!! read more

The atmosphere reminds me much of a typical "sports bar/restaurant". They do have an outdoor area as well. We were quickly greeted, sat, and served. I feel as if we were there less than an hour, so very quick service. I ordered Turkey flatbread and my partner ordered the fish. The flatbread was mediocre, but he enjoyed the fish. read more

Ate at KJ's last Monday. Server was great. The food was a huge disappointment. Started with fried pickles that were so overcooked that it was so hard to eat..cold and very hard. The smash burgers were not true smashburgers. They were double patty burgers with raw onion. Not very tasty. Sorry to say that there are much better food options very close that we may visit before deciding to return. Again, the server was wonderful, not her fault the food was subpar. We didn't return anything but quality of food was not what it used to be. I hope it was just an off night as we have enjoyed dinner there in the past. read more

Not only was the food good, and the atmosphere was fun. We had great service from Ethan our waiter. He was friendly, and kept checking to make sure everything was good. Thanks Nathan for making our first time at your restaurant a great one. read more

Came here while visiting on vacation and had Caitlyn on the patio as our server. Worst service ever, drinks took 15 minutes to hit the table. She forgot our appetizer and when our entrees hit the table she never checked on us once until we were almost finished. She then asked if we got our app... If it's not on the table then no we didn't get our appetizer. Good food and nice lunch specials but not the best service. I also asked for extra ranch not aware there was an upcharge for ranch. She never once let me know it was an upcharge. I found out once I got my check. I'm a server and that's a must! She barely even table touched. read more

The service here is excellent. We had a party of 8 and I did not get my food. The manager came apologize offered a salad your a side while I waited. When it did arrive, after a pretty good house salad, it was cooked correctly but it did lack some seasoning. A little would have made it perfect. The baked beans, in my opinion were really nice. The ribs, again for me are really nice, not overly wet the way I like them. If you like more you can ask for it. Burgers are good, again a little seasoning would go a long way to perfect. read more

Pleasantly surprised. We don't usually go to this type of places-- they all have basically the same menu, same vibes, etc. But we ended up here at lunch. It's been insanely crowded since opening but I guess finally the crowds are not that bad, and we got seated right away. Wide menu, lots of good beers on tap, some good specials, too (and note, most places do not run specials on Saturday but they had them in both food and drink). The three of us had-- the turkey flatbread, hot honey chicken sandwich, and rib-eye. All of us had fries as the side (I will say, even though they had lots of sides offered, none were especially appealing to any of us, thus all fries. They had small side salads, some other greens but nothing that was too appealing. Onion rings? A soup?) Portions were plentiful. My wife and I, more often than not, eat about half of what we are given and take the rest home, but both of us ate mostly everything, except a few of the fries. The chicken on the sandwich was huge, tender and tasty. Nice amount of the hot honey sauce, also. Son liked the steak; I had a bite of it and it was quite tasty-- a good steak for that price point. Service was fine; nothing exceptional but she checked regularly, for the most part, and made no mistakes. Again, it's not the type of place we often go out to, but I can see going back without hesitation. read more

We love going to Kickback Jack's for a nice meal. They have a wide variety of options. The service is always excellent and friendly. They have multiple TV's to catch a game while enjoying a meal. The Ambience is excellent, when my wife asks where do you want eat I often say Kickback's read more

I was visiting Tennessee and decided to try this place with my family, who lives there. It had just opened so we knew it would be busy. We got there and yes, there was a wait. But the line went pretty fast. They had many employees working well together to get everyone taken care of, seated and fed. We ordered appetizers: pretzel sticks and fried pickles. They were awesome!! The pickles were perfect, just enough breading and a great tasting pickle. The pretzel sticks were amazing!!! They were cooked to perfection. Light salty crunch on the outside with a good breading in the inside. The cheese was perfect consistency with great flavor and was a perfect match for the pretzel. We also ordered the strawberry salad. It was delicious! We ordered the grilled wings. Great flavor! We also ordered the Chicken Tenders platter. Delicious!! Since we loved the place so much, we went back!! Two more times during my stay. During those visits we ordered the pickles again and the amazing pretzels. One of the three times we went, they were out of the pretzels. They said they are very popular. But the next day when we went again they had restocked. We also ordered the Firecracker shrimp. This was good but not fabulous. We had the chili, which was very tasty. Not spicy, but very good. We also had one of the burgers which was awesome. We also had The carnivore flatbread. That was really good too. We also tried the fried wings. These were good too. Everything we tried was great! The servers were very friendly and helpful with menu decision making. Everyone has a smile on their face and we're quick with service. The place has TV's all over the place. You can watch almost any sport. Many TVs to vote different things. It's not a quiet restaurant. It's a fun place to enjoy good food, great service and watch the game with friends and family. I'll be back when I am back in town. read more

First time visiting this brand. The atmosphere leans towards sports bar vibe - with lots of screens showing many different events around the room. Very clean, all electronics were on and working but not distracting. The welcome was pleasant, the waiter friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. Menu has something for everyone. The food was hot, well seasoned and plentiful. Prices are reasonable and quality is better than many. read more

The food is great and plenty of it! The restaurant is well kept and for the most part the service is friendly. The only complaint I have is that I'm not sure how the servers and cook work. The waiter takes the order and someone else brings all the items to your table from the kitchen. The waiters need to be more involved with the customer. There are plenty of televisions for watching the game at this location. The ambience is great. read more

As usual, I forgot to take a picture of our food. :( We sat at the bar, and our bartender (Morgan) was very attentive. We did not wait long for anything, and when the food came out, it was good. Additionally, she was friendly and happy. I had the buffalo chicken wrap with fries, while my husband had the fish & chips. The wrap was good and the fish was breaded to perfection. For bar food, this place has the menu right where it needs to be. The Christmas music made our visit just right. We will continue to eat here, especially since the staff is welcoming and warm. Thanks, Kickback Jacks! read more

They declined our order and it wasn't late i usually love them but they didn't want to make our order and it only had 5 main meals and maybe some sides and drinks and desert but it wasn't too big to not order and they have amazing meals just not good delivery but if you do get them i reckon the mac and cheese if you love cheesey its amazing and their shrimp Alfredo is awsome. read more

absolute the fire. I could not get enough of how the waiters and waitresses are so kind and the food is on point. Got to watch a baseball game, which was pretty fun. But Tennessee plays Georgia tomorrow night so hopefully we win. read more

Prices are very fair. Quick service and our waiter (6pm 3/7/26 best I can narrow it to) was very polite. Food was fantastic with good portions. Will go back. Easy parking and plenty of sports TVs inside if that's your thing read more

The spinach art dip is good but chips are greasy and taste like old grease. steaks we're cooking correctly. Music is a little over powering

Came to Kickback Jack's for the first time after hearing positive reviews about the food. We were seated promptly, but had to wait almost 10 minutes before our server came over. This should have been an omen was what to come. We ordered 10 dry rub wings, an order of boneless wings, and an order of fries. Our wings were brought out by a different server promptly with no fries. Our server didn't come check on us until we were 3/4 way through our meal so told her to forget about the fries and to just give us the check. This took another 20 minutes even though she wasn't waiting on any other tables at the moment. In regards to the food, both sets of wings were very good. The boneless wings are large chunks of tender white meat fried very well. The dry rub wings were very good as well. They were flash fried to the point of not needing sauce. Will we come back? Probably not just based on how bad the service was. Would I recommend coming here? Only if you are fine with subpar service. read more

The food was ok, not cooked to my likings and plate looked messy. The firecracker shrimps were amazing though. The waitress made my experience worse. Honesty, she did not look pleasant or like she wanted to be there. Never told us her name, but she had like copper orangy hair and had 444 tattoo on her chest. She came by around the first time and asked if we are ready to order, and we said no. She never came back again, 30 minutes later my friend went to get her. The place and the vibe was nice. read more

Absolutely Delicious!! Our server Taylor was wonderful. She went out of her way to make us comfortable. You can't trust reviews anymore we almost missed a great meal because of entitled people leaving bad reviews. Makes me even wonder if it's competing restaurants From the time we walked in the hostess was kind and sat us immediately, our server was awesome and the bartender grabbed us a ketchup. We even had a manager come take our plates. In a time where customer service is dead this place was refreshing. We will be back! read more

Hubby and I decided to stop in for lunch. We were greeted by two lovely young hostess at the entrance. We requested to sit out on the patio that overlooks the parking lot with peek-a-boo views of the mountain range in the distance. With their floor to ceiling doors being wide open, the breezy air on the patio felt amazing! We were quickly welcomed by our server/bartender "Janae" who was outstanding with her service. We ordered draft beers, flatbread, and firecracker shrimp tacos all very tasty. FLAW - the establishment is a sports bar that allows smoking on the patio, which is a turn off. read more

This was the second time in two weeks I came to kickback Jack's. This time I ordered the chili and a side salad. Since I didn't like the ranch dressing before, too thick and goopy. I ordered the blue cheese this time and it was much better. The side salad was actually Perfect and the chili was very good. I personally would've served it with chili crackers or some sort of crackers. For the second time in a row I ordered unsweet tea with no ice. I realize I am the weird one here but that's how I like it. And for the second time they brought it with ice. Other than that it was a good visit and I'll come back. read more

Superb service by a well trained, customer focused staff. Seated and served in under 10 minutes during lunch hour. We ordered fish n chips, wings, fried pickles and a cold beer. The food was served hot n fresh, the beer cold and refreshing. A nice unexpected touch was the fact the manager took the time to stop by our table and ask how everything was, cleared a dish or two, and thanked us for our business! Now that's hospitality at its best. This Alcoa location is clean, friendly and offers both indoor and outdoor seating. A fun, family friendly sports bar with good food, good service, and is a welcome addition to our local community! Highly recommend! read more

I've always had consistently good food and service here. Even when they are really busy I've never had to wait long to get a table. They have a bar area as well as indoor and outdoor seating. The burgers and sandwiches are probably my favorite thing so far. It's disappointing the parking lot is not bigger because people often have to park in the road. read more

Just an average chain like ruby tuesday or chili's Ordered lemon pepper grilled wings Can I tell you SMALL wings, understandable 10 wings and not good at all Sorry however the waitress was great read more

Tried to give kickback a couple shots but it's disgusting. Usually I end up getting sick after eating there, and during my most recent visit I had blue plastic in my food. Management never acts interested in resolving issues either. Service is slow, and expect everyone's food to come out at different times. Really just a lackluster sports bar. Best thing they've got to offer is a bunch of TVs to watch games on. read more

We asked to watch a college soccer game, Shawn went above and beyond to make this happen for us. Service and food were Great. Would highly recommend this place, lots of TV"s to watch your favorite sports teams. read more

Food is decent and service is grate. The perfect place to watch sports but also you can bring your kids

This is a great sports bar. It has a ton of of TVs playing all different types of sports. Every option you could possibly have, they were playing it on all the TVs. From what I saw, there were 2 bars, an indoor and outdoor. They have 2-3 patio options which is nice for the cooler weather and inside has a lot of seating. Food is your typical American fare sports bar options. I ordered a burger that had bacon jam on it. The burgers are hand made. It didn't hold up to the bun though. The bacon jam is sweet. Overall, the food was good. Emily was our waitress and she was super nice. The hostess at the front was managing the busy hour fairly well. My only complaint was that our food didn't arrive to the table at the same time. In fact, they forgot my husband's buffalo chicken wrap which was unfortunate because we waiting to eat until all of us had our food. My meal ended up being cold because of the wait. They never comped our meal or did anything for the inconvenience. read more

Have eaten at this establishment many times never with any issues. Went to enjoy the trivia on November 16, after a bit of having a good time we were approached by the "manager " i'm assuming that told us we needed to keep it down. Now keep in mind there were around 10-15 Packer fans that were there for their game and were extremely loud, at no point were they told to " keep it down".. none of our party were drunk or being inappropriate just cheering when we got a trivia question right.. needless to say we will not back which is very unfortunate, have always had good experiences there, in my opinion if you can't handle people cheering on winning a game then maybe you shouldn't have those types of things at your establishment! read more

We were surprised when we were told they were out of Pepsi. Who runs out of their primary soda? We were also told they had no flatbread pizza. Again, one of the main items on their menu. I ordered a cheeseburger and fries, when they brought the burger I was told they were making the fries fresh and would bring them out shortly. Needless to say the fries never did arrive. All in all it was a very disappointing experience. read more

Drove 30 minutes to find out that the pretzels and cheese have been removed from the menu. Very disappointing for a large sports bar not have pretzels. Especially considering they had the best pretzels I have ever had anywhere. Had the grilled wings, which are good, but can get comparable about anywhere. read more
