I just had a wonderful evening with friends at this very comfortable restaurant. A special shoutout to our server, Ezequiel. He was so kind, friendly, conscientious, and personable. He did a fantastic job serving 6 silly ladies. And the food is good also.

About a 5-10 min wait on a busy Saturday lunch for party of 2.
We weren't ready to order when the waitress first came up, and she didn't come back for a while. Became a bit hard to flag down since it was so busy.
I got the Monterey omelette and we shared the short stack (2) of Swedish pancakes. I chose hash browns and sourdough toast with my omelette. Omelette was delicious. I was a bit worried that the grilled chicken would be dry/stringy but it wasn't! It was pretty juicy and tender. Loved the cheese, pico de gallo, and avocado. Swedish pancakes were delicious. They weren't overly sweet! Had good texture. Food didn't take long to come out.
Restaurant looks pretty modern inside and felt clean and spacious. Would return to Jack's to try other dishes! Their menu has a large variety of dishes, from breakfast to lunch to dinner to happy hour bar snacks to alcohol. Glad I got to try!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 4Oh no 0 - May 2, 2024
It was my first time coming to Jack's in Westgate last night for dinner and I had a fantastic experience!
For drinks, we ordered the pomegranate in a pear tree cocktails and they were great! Very refreshing and just the right amount of sweetness. For our entrees, I ordered the rigatoni di pollo and my friend ordered the sunset boulevard burger with garlic fries. Large portions! My pasta dish was delicious and I could only finish about half of it - I would definitely order this again. I love how the menu has a wide variety of options!
The service was top notch here! Our server, Ezequiel, was the sweetest ever and was so helpful. He was the highlight of our night! Another staff member also came by and asked us if we needed anything and even asked if I wanted bread to go with my pasta which was very generous.
Love the ambiance here too - very clean and modern! The staff really makes you feel welcomed.
I highly recommend Jack's and I'm already excited to come back!! I'm looking forward to trying their breakfast out too!Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

The service was really good here. The ambiance and decor is cute/boujie. The food wasn't as great as stated in other reviews. The zucchini cakes were very dry and one was overload with mint while the other was overloaded with feta and lemon. The buffalo chicken salad was good but I wouldn't say the best I've ever had.
Could be we came in on an off night food wise. This establishment is quite a distance from where I live so probably won't be back.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - May 19, 2024Updated review
So, I went back to Jack's again for brunch today with my son. The food and service were great as usual. We were unfortunately surprised by extra charges for jalapeños ($1.50+), which our server suggested without letting us know that there was an extra charge with the calamari or that egg whites were extra ($1.00+) in the Santa Fe omelet.
Now, not a big deal, but the lack of transparency was disappointing, and while it's important to me to support local businesses, I'm reconsidering my brunch choices for other local options...Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

So happy you came back, Monica! Thank you for the fantastic review — and photos!
Jan 21, 2024Previous reviewThe last visit was great so we came back for more with my boys.
Same great service, delicious food and generous servings.
Chicken and Waffles - so, so good!
Huge serving with 4 pieces of crispy fried chicken (breast, leg, thigh and wing) that was well-seasoned and super tender and juicy. Actually, the best fried chicken I've had outside of Nashville!
Corned beef hash with crispy hashbrowns, over easy eggs and and a toasted english muffin was also a big hit with my son. Again, it is a very generous serving and very well prepared and seasoned.
Swedish pancakes were so good last time we got a full stack this time, and there weren't any leftovers.Jan 13, 2024Previous reviewWe went to Jack's intending to get brunch, but we got a bit sidetracked when we looked at the menu and some of the meals of diners we were seated next to.
Parking is busy, but manageable, as Jack's is in the Westgate Mall parking lot.
Service was very good with friendly and attentive staff. Our food was served promptly after we ordered (which was great because the place was packed), and the staff checked several times to make sure we were good and refill drinks.
Ambiance was clean and modern, but with a relaxed family-friendly vibe. Nicely decorated and fun hightop tables in the large bar area that are available on a 1st come 1st serve basis.
As I mentioned earlier, we came for brunch but ended up getting the following:
Hatch Mac and Cheese, which is pretty self-desriptive. Generous portion with lots of tender noodle, gooey, delicious cheese, and the required crispy browned top. The hatch chiles were pretty mild, but very tasty too.
French dip was, again, a generous size with lots of thinly sliced, tender and juicy roast beef, with a rich au jus for dipping. The fries were good, but not great. Again, a generous portion, but some of the fries were a little soggy and others were nice and crisp.
Swedish pancake was our nod to brunch, and it was very yummy. It had an airy lightness and crisp top with lingonberry berry butter, and we will be back to try other breakfast/brunch options soon. - Apr 21, 2024
We had a pretty good meal, weren't wowed by it though, unfortunately. I got the grilled chicken sandwich and while the quality was good, it was missing something. More sauce? It was a bit bland. My companion's burger was the same.
The French fries however, were outstanding. They were super hot (such a rarity these days). Probably one of the best places for fries that we've had lately.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Yay for the fries, but so sad to hear that you weren’t wowed with your sandwich and burger. (You should have been wowed!) Hope you give us another try, Lisa.

Recently discovered this restaurant close to our house and it is definitely our new regular spot! Great atmosphere, consistent and delicious food, and amazing service.
This past visit our server, Ezequiel took great care of us. He was attentive and checked in on us frequently, excited to come again soon!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Apr 2, 2024Seated via Yelp Reservations
I don't know, yall. I expected more because of the Yelp reviews. But service was sooo slow despite a reservation, portions were all over the place, and nothing was really outstanding. Not bad, but not great.
It took 20 minutes to flag someone down for water and longer to get the high chair I requested with our reservation.
Crepes were the highlight here.
Toast was $5 per slice. But it was regular store bought bread. What?!
Hash browns were pretty good but not crispy
Veggie omelette was yummy but the ratio of omelette to hash browns was pretty bad.
Coffee is much better than at most other brunch places.
The server was really nice, but she could have told us our food already came with the sides we ordered on top.
All in all, it was $110 for 3 people with no alcohol. A bit much for average breakfast food.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 2 - Jun 2, 2024Updated review12 check-ins
This review is solely for the management, not the food or other staff. We came to celebrate my dad's 76th birthday this afternoon. We placed our orders. Shortly after the floor manager Rafael came to the table to say they were out of steak!? Um how? What are you going to do during the dinner hour? He didn't bring another menu. How are we supposed to know what else we may want. We normally enjoy this place but confused at how you run out of a regular menu item? Flash forward and our meals came. They delivered a steak? Wait, we thought you were out. Needless to say this steak was overcooked. The original order was for med. rare and this was welllll done. So it was left uneaten. A waitress came to check on us and saw the uneaten steak at the end of the table and asked was something wrong. We let her know what happened and that the steak was over cooked. She apologized and said she would take care of it. A few minutes later Rafael came to the table with the steak and asked "was there something wrong with this" ? Yes, as we explained it was over cooked. He proceeded to say well we upgraded you to the dinner steak that's 40 dollars...I told him well your cooked ruined that piece of meat and you told us you were out. He said we were out of the lunch steak so we upgraded you. Well Rafael that's not what you said. We would have paid for the 40 dollar steak no problem but the way you brought it back and treated us like it was our problem was unacceptable. He was rude and sadly not the 1st time we've seen him this way. We've actually seen him make staff cry and be rude to other patrons. I dont know if this is the person Jacks wants as one of the faces of their restaurant. We are loyal customers who come several times a month. I know for sure they lost one of us today and the rest of us will leave if he is working when we arrive.

I ordered the buffalo chicken salad and fries. Delish and came out super fast. Everyone from the front of house to my server was friendly. Cant wait to come back in for breakfast. Happy they've come to town.
