I have been meaning to update this review for some time. Since my initial visit 10 years ago many things have changed. First, the service is excellent, the atmosphere is fun and inviting and the last few times I have had nothing but excellent food. The prices are extremely reasonable and their fish and chips is probably my favorite in town. My only complaint is that my usually picky kids finish their food too quickly and want some of mine! Not the worst problem to have when dining with a family lol! read more

This place does not accept pets unless it is a certified service animal The staff was nice but the fact that they list dogs or they are pet friendly was quite upsetting that we had to pull out paperwork read more

Place was good. Good wings, good pizza, great group of folks. Service was promoted and the ambiance was perfect for the evening. read more

Tons of tvs with a variety of sports (still wish closed captioning was on news channels) Food was good. Onion rings were crispy (sauce that accompanies is too sweet - I'd order ranch next time. Berry salad with salmon was great. Fries were soggy - don't order at all. Volume in building is perfect - you can have a conversation with others at your table. Kamya was friendly & super-attentive. She was spot on! read more

Stopped in with a party of 7 for lunch on a Monday. There is a pretty decent amount of people there and we were able to get a table right away. Our waitresses were very attentive. I ordered the lunch wings with fries and a side of slaw. The wings at Kickbacks are just good. They never disappoint. The fries were cooked well and I love them with a side of ranch. I enjoyed the slaw. The bathrooms were clean and the TVs had enough variety that everyone found some place to dart their eyes. Everyone was pleased with their meals and the prices were right. I would definitely stop by again. read more

The atmosphere is great. Ordered wings extra crispy. Wings were not crispy at all. Soggy and greasy when told waitress her response was "okay" Nothing else came of it. Paid the bill and left read more

Gotta love a fun and chill sports bar. If you're in the Pinehurst area and looking for a sports bar, I'd recommend Kickback Jacks. See my photo, they have an AWESOME deal on Tuesdays for a real tasty burger at a VERY nice price. Everyone is nice and I've never had a complaint. Highly recommend! read more

First time here and so glad we found this place. We both ordered the full rack of ribs with chicken strips, fries, and beans. Everything was excellent. We also had sweet tea, which was the best I have ever tasted, not sure why but so, so good. We will definitely add this to our list of best restaurants in North Carolina. read more

Went in and decided to sit outside, We got the limited time "fall" pretzels with spicy cheese sauce. The pretzels tasted frozen and greasy, Then the cheese dip tasted fake and out of a can. It honestly wasn't even spicy. Then I got some pasta with steamed broccoli and chicken, The chicken tasted frozen and they were extremely bland with no flavor. Then the pasta itself was gross but tasted too salty and the broccoli didn't even taste like broccoli at all. I ordered a side of fry's but they ended up being burnt to a crisp. My drink never got a refill and all I got was a sweet tea. The service was great at first but then the waitress/bartender seemed pissy and mad towards the end. The total came out to be around $50 which honestly wasn't worth it. In my own opinion I feel like a toddler could have cooked better. The vibe of the place didn't feel great either, felt too heavy and tense, I was worried to send my food back because I thought they would spit in it. Overall I wouldn't recommend eating here save yourself the trip and eat at home. read more

So far all the meals as I have eaten there often have been excellent. Service is friendly and efficient. The restaurant is clean overall even the bathrooms. The parking is good and since the addition of the rear lot exit safe also. The speed of preparation from the kitchen can vary but the food always comes out hot and together. I will say one thing they realy need to fix and I have had this on numerous times and it is the Ranch Dressing. If you like Texas catsup this is not your go to place as it is flavorless and unseasoned. Other sauces are fine though. read more

we sat there for 30 minutes and we had a group and no one came to take are order this is ridiculous

While visiting family in the area was craving a salad. This is a big location with plenty of seating. Ton's of TV's for your sports viewing. Loud atmosphere and felt very unclean. Service was average. Next time we visit I can't say that we would be back. This is very much a cookie cutter sports bar restaurant with really nothing unique. read more

I have eaten at this restaurant multiple times. Today I had the best waiter I have encountered in a long time. John greeted us with a smile, very attentive to our needs, and supersede my expectations. Hats off to JOHN keep up the outstanding work!! read more

We are here on a Sunday evening. The parking lot was packed when we arrived. Despite the full lot we were seated right away and Devin, our waitress, took excellent care of us. I had one of their mixed drinks, a peach drink with their house made sour-it was delicious. I ordered the fresh berry salad with grilled chicken and the raspberry vinaigrette. Everyone in our party was pleased with their food. The sound in the restaurant wasn't overwhelming even though it was busy. We were able to carry on a conversation and didn't struggle to hear each other. We will definitely have to come back! read more

This is by far the worst kickback hacks i've ever been too. they ALWAYS mess your order up. literally the last two times i've been there i've ordered hot wings and they always end up giving me a flavor other than what i've ordered. Then when you come and bring it to managers attention they downplay it and don't make it right. i've been eating at KBJ for years but i will never return back to this one. read more

This is a great place to go with the family. The food is, mediocre. If you order a medium rare burger, you're getting it well done. Every. Single. Time. Our server Tania was phenomenal, pretty sure she's new but still she did an amazing job! The cooks though...get new ones. I'm tired of waiting for my food just for it to be messed up, then I have to wait again...but anyways, tip Tania good! read more

Great place for apps and drinks. Server was super attentive. Enjoyed the cheese curds and soft pretzels. Also got the hot honey chicken sandwich- darn good! Fresh cut fries also recommended. read more

Food and beverages are on point. Service is great and has a friendly welcoming vibe. Our first time here but will definitely be dropping a pin so we can find it again. I highly recommend you stop in to Kickback Jack's when in the area. read more

Kickback Jack's for the Win! Today I brought my three-year-old grandson in for lunch. I explained his egg allergy to the young server. He brought back the manager who assured me they would check the salad dressing for eggs. I've never had someone care so much about his allergies as the manager and the young server did. I will definitely be bringing this little guy back for lunch. read more

Got this to go so didn't get to test out the service in the dining room. I wanted to try the Philly egg rolls but knew I wouldn't be able to this round so happy to go back. Got the cranberry turkey flat bread and that thing had no business being so good. read more

We have been to Kickback Jacks several times and I can say the cole slaw is DELICIOUS, from there the food is mediocre, it does the trick and you dont leave hungry but nothing stands out. ( besides the cole slaw ) the wait staff are great and friendly read more

Went for dinner and drinks and I did enjoy my time. The beer selection is very good so I do recommend this restaurant for drinks and watching a game. The food is adequate and the wait time was not long. Overall I enjoyed my time and the atmosphere but the food was average. read more

Tuesday's hamburger deal is great. The hamburger is delicious, very flavorful. Skip the French fries. They're always cold and limp. Wait staff has always been good. Not too fussy but there when needed. read more

Delivery order. Fries were cold and soggy. Firecracker Shrimp was cold, but I was able to warm it up in microwave. 2 drinks were ordered, but not delivered. Went by the restaurant the next day for a refund on the drinks, but we were told Door Dash would have to credit us the refund because it is Door Dash's responsibility to confirm all items are picked up to go out for delivery. Like everything else in the world, no one wants to take responsibility. read more

Steak was tough and full of gristle. Burger ATW? No onion No pickle. Asked to sub sweet potatoes for fries. No those are an appetizer. Onion rings for fries..... No appetizer. Wings ughhh. Disappointing to say the least read more

I always get the ribs Large quantity and good grilled flavor Not a large meaty rib, but I don't mind Service is consistent and friendly. Lots of screens to view to catch your favorite team. Overall fun place to eat and not overly expensive read more

After waiting close to an hour on a Tuesday evening Look at this little piece of salmon!! And they want me to pay $16 I complained to the manger and he said "do you want me to bring you some pasta to fill you up" !!! Ridiculous read more

You ask why 4 stars and not 5? The answer is customer service. During these crazy times I totally get a lot of places are short staffed and they're doing their best, which is why this review is not bashing anyone, just pointing out a couple of things. We decided to come in for a quick meal while visiting family. We were seated quickly and the waitress didn't take long to come over and assist us. We did ask a few questions prior to ordering but not too many to aggravate anyone. We ordered a couple of appetizers to start us out which were spinach and artichoke dip and firecracker shrimp. They both were good and held us over until our entrees came. My husband ordered the all American burger with the fried pickles on the side, I had the Combo Cajun Alfredo Pasta (added mushrooms) with a salad, and my son had the kids cheese pizza. OmG the pasta dish was delicious and very very plentiful! I was still eating the spinach dip and my salad so I didn't eat a lot of the entree but the few bites I did eat were good. Very flavorful and just enough spice to give it a "kick" lol. It was so much left over we decided to take it out. My husband continued to talk about how good the pasta was that I ended up cooking some for dinner later that week. As stated I only wanted to point out that at times it did seem our waitress wasn't as attentive but I also stated that I understand that restaurants are under staffed and this is to be expected, so if you encounter this just be patient and know they're doing their best! read more

Due to people waiting for tables I sat at the bar to eat. I was completely ignored (the bartender looked right at me). She cleaned up other stations and took care of customers that seated after me. I left and went to a restaurant up the street who welcomed my business, read more

Drinks are so sugary and thick. Not quality at all. Food is mid. Service is less than stellar.

Great big dining room large tables lots of TVs for sports food was excellent. Great service.

So this evening my wife and I wanted to go to Kickback Jacks which has been about our 8th or 9th time going since March of 2023. Well this evening the Cajun Pasta I ordered was disgusting. The pasta was over cooked, there was a sauce poured smothering it that tasted like canned cheese sauce and the shrimp in the dish was over cooked and tasted like rubber. I took one bite and put the dish off to the side. I asked for the manager Tim to discuss the dish and while explaining the issues with the dish Tim stopped me and said I'm sorry that you didn't like the flavor but there's nothing I can do about that. Not Sir is there anything else I can have made for you? So I asked him just to remove it from the table. He did that and went into the kitchen where we could plainly see him laughing with one of the cooks as they looked at and discussed the dish. So I tried the fried chicken wings I ordered to take home for lunch tomorrow instead. As I bit into one of the wings it was extremely dry even after dipping it into the Korean BBQ sauce. Our waitress was delightful and a joy to both my wife and I. When we met the General Manger some time back and the cooks were on top of the food with command. This became our go to spot when out shopping in the area. Over our last few times we have noticed that things have been declining and today and the last time we were there Tim was the Manager on duty. My wife also noticed one of the cooks playing with his hair in the kitchen and going right back to cooking without washing his hands. We decided that if we do go back there we will call ahead and find out who the manager on duty is and if it's Tim we won't be going. Even our waitress said she doesn't agree with the way things run when Tim is there. We're willing to give this another try.y read more

Enjoyed a meal with my fiancé there as we couldn't decide on where to eat. Ended up there and glad we did. It was great service and quick. Steak was great and our server Morgan was polite and an attentive server! Enjoyed our dinner and will go back again as we don't live far. read more

Service is always incredibly slow. I asked for bacon cheese fries, and they told me that they could not make them. I was brought fries, with a side of cheese and bacon...? What's the difference of just throwing it on in the kitchen. The servers are not attentive, and a lot of them do not look presentable. The floors are usually dirty as well as the nearby tables. read more

The fresh berry salad with grilled chicken is so good and the service was spot on. The firecracker shrimp is one of my favorites!

Everytime I order from this restaurant either from a delivery service or on their website, they always manage to mess up my order. I order from here at least once a month and give them time to see if it's just me not checking my order or if it's the front of the house not checking their orders correctly. Every time, I'm always missing an order and don't want to drive out of my way to go pick it up a second time. read more

Decided to go out to one of what was one of our places to eat on Saturday night. Was kind of busy when we arrived and was the first time ever that we had to wait to be seated. But that's not the problem. We ordered jam burger medium well and Louisiana pasta with a side of Texas toast because pasta doesn't come with any bread for some reason . Once food arrived we noticed all the meat on the pasta was literally burnt. The meat on the burger was cold and charred black, and very dry with no taste. Had to ask two different waitresses about my bread that never arrived. Once our waitress showed back up with the bread ( which was literally a toasted sub roll, not Texas toast) I showed her the burnt food. Which she should have known when she brought it out that it was burnt .So she says well if you would have told me before I could've sent it back. Never offered to speak to a manager or anything Also never received any refills. So after a long drive home of complaining about the food I Decided to call to speak to the manager. Says she's sorry that she'll talk to the cooks but nothing she could do being that we already left already. That we should have said something while we were there. But I did say something. That's why I'm calling . So it was the biggest waste of money ever and will be taken off our list of favorites!! read more

The manager is racism very , why my family get the slave treatment tonight because people not like us said they was too loud it's actually a sports bar you can be loud this is not the Olive Garden..... so the manager kept watching them until they decided to just leave because these days everything is our fault please, the food is sometimes good anyway I stopped going.....oh this was Fayetteville location!!!! read more

This review is based on about 30 minutes at the bar waiting on my to go order. I was in town because my mom was in the hospital and wanted some food. I saw that this place was crazy busy so I thought "maybe they are good?" and they were pretty good and fast to have nearly every table packed with people. My food was good. I got the fish and chips. My mom liked hers as well. We were a little sad that they wouldn't let us add cheese and bacon to her fries without ordering a full appetizer. The bartender was very very friendly and refilled my drinks promptly. She also had to deal with this guy at the bar who kept trying to set she and I up. Kudos on her keeping it together. I'd come back here next time I'm in town for sure. Only thing...If you are concerned about COVID, no one was wearing their mask. read more
