Dropped in for an appetizer to share before shopping. These dirty fries did not disappoint! The homemade Nicky sauce along with a smash burger patty, grilled onions, and pickles are the perfect combination making these fries a hit!

Triple BLT, Dirty Fries
Tony C.

The food was out quick, very fresh and everything was in generous proportion (plenty of bacon on the burger)! I had the triple BLT and their rendition of 'animal' fries... (WARNING: the fries are large enough to be shared, I couldn't finish them!) this is def my go to spot when I come out here moving forward...hopefully they stick around!

BLT burger without the LT
Wendy M.

Burgers were super yummy! They are a "smashed" burger, not a typical patty. Crinkle cut fries were extra hot and crispy and portion size was great. I got the BLT without the LT. Sauce on it was delicious and made the burger. Menu is very simple. See photos.

Dirty fries

Soooo gross! I got a Wild West burger and a dirty fries. I expected the fries to have a chopped up burger on top but it was a solid burger patty. Ok weird but whatever. Then the patty wasn't done like a normal smashed burger. One side gets the grill the other looks unseasoned and almost boiled meat look. Really weird. I rolled the patty to the side and ate the fries. Regular fries with pickles, sauce and grilled chopped onions. The plate was super salty. At this point I was disappointed but didn't want to waste food so I just picked at it and it seemed to get saltier and saltier. Everything was super salty- the pickles, the fries even the sauce. Then when I could see the bottom of the container I saw a pile of salt like someone poured salt over the whole thing. Super gross. Stopped eating the fries to try the burger. I took pics to post on their google page and they don't even have one which is super weird. Ok now the burger....The burger bun wasn't toasted or anything so the top one did that thing where it smashes into the grease and the bottom one got soggy from condensation in the container. Gross but whatever. The bacon wasn't crispy it was very fatty and again the half grilled smash burger patty with a boiled top again. The onion rings in the burger were decent so I'll give them that. I didn't finish the burger and I'm a person who can literally live off burgers. I think I've had in n out 3-4 times with week already and it's only Wednesday. It's hard to screw up a burger... The cashier was nice so I guess that justifies the one star I'm obligated to give but I'd really give it zero stars and hate that we wasted money on this. I wouldn't normally go this in depth but since I'm already reviewing the restaurant itself was also super dirty. It was kinda gross standing inside and looking around. The door itself and entryway is literally covered in grime. We really wanted to try it so I tried to ignore how gross and trick myself that the kitchen was clean. We waited outside and ate outside to not have to see anything. All in all really bad experience and we definitely won't be going there again. Right before eating there we were saying what a shame it is that malls are closing early and going out of business and how many empty stores there were at the mall but then we were instantly reminded why we and everyone else don't bother wasting money anymore.

Burgers and fries.  That's an order of fries!!  Looks like leftovers.

Not that good but if you're hungry it will do. The burgers have nothing but cheese onions and little else. Would not go again.

First time at Jays Southern Café and wow... what an experience! Vi was a whole vibe--super sweet,…read morefriendly, and really helped my hubby and me decide on what to order since it was our first visit. She made us feel right at home. Now let's talk food... the brisket was out of this world! Tender, flavorful, and just the right amount of smokiness. Paired with the coleslaw (so fresh and delicious) and their BBQ sauce that was sweet but not overpowering, the whole combo was dynamite. I even had to snap a "before" pic of the plate--and let's just say the "after" pic didn't survive because it was THAT good! They were out of dessert during our visit, but I'll definitely be back to try that cinnamon and lemon pound cake that customers around us were raving about. Big shoutout to Vi and to Penelope (I believe she was the cook that day) for serving up not just a meal, but an experience. The layout was super cool and very clean. I never knew this place was in Alpine but I found my new barbecue spot. Definitely come and support as they are a hidden gem We'll 100% be back soon--thanks again for the warm hospitality and amazing food!

I didn't have to wait. Thank you!! Whenever you're in the area, you have to stop by to eat some delicious authentic Southern food and support a local family-owned business. It's Alpine BEST kept foodie secret.

Once the music got set up on the patio, it was so loud, you couldn't talk with anyone at the table. not a nice way to spend a relaxing afternoon with friends. but ok, we moved inside. The music, by the way, was excellent. So it's not that. Inside we had a server who seemed new or not very well trained. For a place that serves breakfast and lunch, it was odd that at 10 minutes before noon, we still could not order "lunch" items. but ok - pivot to breakfast. we placed drink orders and food. What came out was disappointing. we asked if the bottomless mimosas could have a little cranberry juice added. Server said not problem. What came out were cranberry mimosas, no orange juice in sight. when food came out, it left a lot to be desired. The avocado toast order was awful. plain white, grocery bread barely toasted with an avocado smash (container spread from the store or costco?) and dried grated parmesan cheese (like from the plastic container in the grocer) not as advertised and definitely not what one expects for this dish. The side of bacon was forgotten. The eggs benedict looked ok however the hollandaise sauce was barely existent and what was there was split. Making it barely edible. The other breakfast dishes were just ok. Biscuits and gravy looked good. lots of it and chunky. scrambled eggs and hashbrowns are hard to mess up. But for one person, the hashbrowns were pretty much cooked to a crisp and a lot of grease on the plate. that person left those to the bin. And had a hair on the plate. We had to ask for the bottomless mimosa to be refilled. The server took the glasses, and when they came back, one was orange, one was cranberry and THE GLASSES WERE REUSED! Unacceptable!! if the server didn't know, the bartender should know NOT to reuse glasses. Even if it is our own glasses, you don't reuse them. So, this was a trial to bring some out of town guests this summer for a "home town experience." We won't be coming here. If you want music, mediocre food, and drinks (that you don't have to interact with people) - this will be ok. The band was really good. The food experience was dreadful.

When this Jack in the Box first opened, it was honestly a five star experience. Unfortunately, over time I've seen a noticeable decline, mainly in cleanliness and a bit in customer service. The last 4/5 times I've chosen to eat inside, every single table has been dirty. I've had to grab napkins and water from the bathroom just to clean my own table before sitting down. The windows are covered in greasy fingerprints, clearly from little kids, and the floors under the booths are visibly filthy. This is not a one time issue, it has been consistent over multiple visits. To be fair, I have not experienced the order issues that other reviewers mention. My food has always been correct, and the food still tastes good for fast food, especially for takeout. I will continue to come back because I do like the food and want to support this location. That said, cleanliness really matters to me, and customers should not have to clean their own tables. I truly hope management sees the feedback and makes improvements, because this place has the potential to get back to the great experience it had when it first opened.

Had such a great dinner tonight at Mediterraneo in Alpine!…read more We started with a few appetizers and honestly...they were the highlight. The MELENZANE RIPIENE (eggplant stuffed with ricotta, parmesan, and cherry tomatoes) was incredible: rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The calamari fritti was crispy and delicious, and the TONNO ASIATICO (seared ahi tuna with sweet chili glaze, ginger, teriyaki, and wasabi) was a huge hit at the table. We also had to try their house-made mozzarella sticks, don't skip these...the cheese pull alone is worth it For the mains, we had the CAPELLINI ALLA CHECCA and the RIGATONI ALLA NORMA, and both were fantastic. You can really taste the difference, the pasta is imported from Italy, and it shows in the texture and flavor. My husband also ordered the margherita pizza and said it's the best he's ever had, which says a lot! The space itself is big, welcoming, and super versatile. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, plus a large bar with a full menu. We tried a couple drinks from their spring menu: the pistachio espresso martini and the berry margarita both were so fun and tasty. The staff was also incredibly friendly and attentive, which really made the whole experience even better. Bonus: they have a great family-friendly area with arcade games and a pool table, which makes it perfect whether you're going out as a couple or with a group. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to!
