They're just THAT good. The loaded fry options are also amazing and honestly one of the biggest reasons I keep coming back. The bar is perfect if you want to catch a game, grab some drinks, or just have a casual day or night out with friends. The atmosphere is always fun, but if I'm being honest, I'm coming for the burger and fries every single time. My only wish is that they would extend their hours to better match some of the surrounding bars in Soulard. I feel like they'd get even more business from people looking for a late night burger and fries. Overall, Jack Nolen's is a must for me when I'm craving a really good burger!

When you arrive at Jack Nolen's the storefront is very unassuming. One does immediately notice the…read morenice patio/beer garden out back though, which looked nice. When you enter Jack Nolen's it prides itself on the dive bar vibe in all the good ways. The bar, dining area, and restrooms are clean and well-kept. Menu is mostly burgers, sandwiches, and their unique take on French fries and a few other unique sides. It all sounded good. Ultimately I had to try a burger and fries and they both met the high expectations I had going into this place (they're described as having the best smash burgers in STL). The beer was good - cold, crisp - you can tell the draft lines are clean. However the most impressive thing about this establishment was the staff (Jen & Kristen, maybe?). Efficient. Courteous. Very friendly. Treated the guests like an actual guest. Very well done. If I had to offer a criticism about this place, it seems if you don't sit at the bar, you have to place your food and drink orders at the bar (rather than having a server). I do believe they run your food though.

Their service is always so fast and their employees are incredibly kind. As soon as we got there, the bartender brought Kylie a bowl of ice water. We ordered our food and it was out in probably 10 minutes. Inside, there are several toys and books to keep kids entertained and you are welcome to bring them onto the patio. The patio also has a large Connect 4 that people can play while waiting for their food and drinks. It's such a family friendly space (dogs too!) and we feel Incredibly welcome every time we visit. They also have a kids menu which includes the yummiest homemade mac and cheese! They also have a small boutique section inside that sells all local items! So cool!

The burgers are super thin with really crispy edges, so if you like that style of smashburger, you'll probably love them. I liked the Split Open and Melt more than the Lumberjack, and the onion rings were probably my favorite side. We also had the watermelon lemonade, which was sour, punchy, and really refreshing. It was very kid friendly too. They had books for kids to read at the table, which was a nice touch, and the whole place had a relaxed, casual feel. It is a little pricey for burgers and fries, but overall we had a good experience.

I'm really not a bone-in wing person, but these are so excellent they make that detail irrelevant for me. Great place!

I immediately had buyers remorse and wanted to leave to find another patio. Luckily my husband was able to sway the hostess to suit us outside, on account of it being my birthday. We settled up with our initial server and moved to the patio. Both of our servers were very gracious. Outside we could see the river and the train roll by. We had fried cheese balls to start- 10/10. The cheddar cheese was piquant, the breading was herbed, and the ranch dressing served alongside was not the kind from the grocery store! My better half and myself split the large order of chicken wings with sauce on the side. The garlic Parmesan sauce reminded me of the stuff Papa John's gives you, with more viscosity. It was not my favorite. The sweet and spicy sauce was my husband's favorite, and I thought it was okay. The wings were fried crispy and still juicy in the middle. We also shared the Italian salad which was awesome: artichokes, red onions, provel, Parmesan, salami, and a red wine vinegar dressing. We devoured both. My daughter had the toasted ravioli and they were some of the best I've had in a while. Really great experience and I'll be back for sure!
