All the key ingredients for a terrific find. Located next to a fire department, from which it gets its name. You walk in and feel right at home. A cozy casual setting, very inviting. The service is top notch, down home southern hospitality. Very friendly, prompt, and glad to have you. This is more than just a good place to eat, it is a good place to be, especially with friends. Give it a try, you won't regret it.

I have to believe that they make their own ranch dressing from scratch. It's amazing!! The best ranch I have ever eaten. If your in the area, stop by and get one. You won't regret it.

The guy working the front counter was great help he was really good at talking up everything on the menu.

You order at the counter and they will bring it to you and come clean your table. Good stuff

The not good: the service. We had 2 servers on a Sunday afternoon. The first was very good. The second was non existent. The manager had to come take our orders and refill water. The menu has limited vegetarian options - extremely limited. I got the quesadilla and asked them to hold the meat. But it was insanely filled with cheese like to the point I thought I was going to choke on a blob of cheese. Just not a place to come if you're hungry and don't eat meat. I'd come back for a beer and to watch a game. But I wouldn't plan to eat here. A veggie burger option would go a long way here.

The staff were all very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is very nice with indoor and outdoor seating. We all were very impressed with our meals. We got the chicken tenders, blackened fish sandwich, the club sandwich and wings as a main. Also got an order of mozzarella sticks. All were amazing with the only one negative is the wings were not very crispy but still very tasty. Would definitely go back.

I have never tried to eat there without a reservation. It is always packed. I did not take a single pic but we had the gulf crab claws in lemon butter sauce. These were the most amazing crab claws i have ever had. It came with 2 pieces of bread thank goodness bc i needed it to get all the lemon sauce. Pricey- yes. Worth every penny-yes! We shared an entree short rib entree and added a side of mac and cheese and scalloped potatoes. There was not even a crumb left. I didn't even need a knife for the short ribs. My tip is to go early. I'm sure the other food is good too, but the best stuff sells out.

Let me set this up. My wife and I are on the diet shot. We share meals and still can't finish them. Both my wife and I at the beginning of our life together 47 years ago, both worked for restaurants. We know how hard folks in the business work. Even though it would affect his income negatively, our server was a real professional. I notice things like that. I tipped 35%+. WHY, he deserved it and we enjoyed his service. The Ambiance of the restaurant was calm, friendly and inviting. We will absolutely go again. Bravo.

My son got the sloppy Joe and he didn't like it and just didn't eat it. I tasted it and I didn't like it either. It was very sweet. I got the Cajun burger (i think that was the name). It has horseradish and fried onions on it. I should have got the onions on the side because it's a lot of onions. They are good - just better on the side and then add as much on the burger as you want. I would have got some extra horseradish also. It was ok. The restaurant is very clean and tidy. The service is fine. You order at the counter and if you want a refill on your drink you go back to the counter. Plenty of parking. Nicely lit. Lots and lots of locals. Definitely use Google Maps or something to get there because the restaurant building looks like an office building and you can't really see the sign. They have a meat and three menu so I was excited about that but on a Saturday afternoon they were out of a lot of sides. I didn't choose the meat and 3 because they were out of many things.

It's a plus that the food and vibes are good. Dad got the thai wings, which looked delicious (he did not share). I tried the burrata, which was ok. The star of the show was the fish and chips. Really good fry on those, I'll certainly come back. The patio was lovely for a springtime lunch.

I ordered a big Jack minus the ketchup and cheese. They got that part right. It was supposed to…read morehave mayo on it, but there was none. I also got the mashed potatoes and gravy. If you look at the picture of the Big Jack hamburger on the display menu you need to lower your expectations about 50%. They need to change the name, from Big Jack to Just Jack. Nothing big about it other than a bunch of bread. When I walked in and went to the register to order my food, there was no one in front of me in the line. It took slightly over eight minutes for someone to take my order. Person really never spoke to me, but just stared at me and waited for me to tell her my order. She did tell me how much I owed. As for ambience, I ended up taking my food to go because ordering my food and getting my food took a long time. I'm in that area every Sunday but have never been to that Jack's location. Thought I would try it. For me that visit was disappointing. I did like the mashed potatoes and gravy though.

The dining area is nicer than your typical fast-food place. It's nice that they deocrate it for the holidays, too. They were pretty busy, so not all of the tables had been wiped down, but we found one that worked. We did have to ask for napkins as the dispenser was empty. (We've since been back around the same time of day, and all the tables were clean and the napkins stocked.) Pretty good burger for the deal if you use their app. I also like that you can get a less-fastfoodish option of chicken and veggies if you want.

We were greeted promptly and took a few minutes to look at the menu. I LOVE roast beef, so it peaked my interest. My wife chose the Smiley burger. We placed our order and grabbed a seat. Place was quiet even though it was probably 75% full for lunch. Roast beef was served hot in toasted sour dough. Cheddar, tomato, lettuce and horseradish topped the generous portion of roast beef. Bread was crisp and the beef was hot and juicy. Horseradish gave a nice tangy flavor. My wife's Smiley burger was hand patted. Juicy and perfectly cooked. Bun was soft inside and nicely toasted in the outside. Bread and butter pickles, onion, tomato and lettuce topped it off. But the star of the show were the fries cooked in beef tallow!! Hot and salty, crispy and a deep flavor. I would come back just for the fries. Although a little bit pricey for lunch, it was excellent! Staff were friendly and attentive! Would highly recommend and will definitely be back! Thanks for an awesome lunch and excellent experience!
