An amazing restaurant amazing food amazing service I had the calamari to start and the lamb chops and cheesecake to finish. All of it was top tier !
The restaurant was spacious. The hospitality of the staff was welcoming and friendly. We were seated quickly to our table and our server was considerate. First, he offered to take orders of what we wanted for drinks first while we skimmed the menu. Then, after giving enough time to look through the extensive menu, he came back to take our orders. After hearing we would share our food, he said he would be back with extra plates for us. The food was as good. We ordered one basic 2x2x2, one Egg Benedict and one Lamb Burger. The portion was huge for us but they were all delicious. Our iced latte was also on point. Will come again!
I made reservations for this restaurant, 1st time coming to this location. Had lunch with my Beloved Grandkids. We ordered Catfish Po'Boy, Chicken sandwich,SmashBurger. Everything was Delicious 🤤😋 Have to come back and try other things on the menu. Didn't get her name, but our server was Wonderful and very Attentive. KUDO'S Jack's Restaurant 👏🏾 👏🏾
Our first time dining in. Before we used to get taken outs. And we loved the friendly service. Shout out to our server Barry! We ordered the Happy hour nachos, Early Bird dinner: steak, blackened catfish and salmon and kid's burger, and creme brulee. Everything was delicious although I would recommend the vegetable medley to have more flavors with herbs. For the price, it's a great place to have dinner with the family.
Update 3/2026 — went in for their lunch and ordered the mighty moose. It’s hash browns, biscuits, bacon, gravy with a country fried steak. It is so so so goood and huge. Beautiful diner/ restaurant with a wide variety on their menu. They have a happy hour at the bar M-F as well. The portions are huge!!! Arrived for dinner on a weekday and We had the calamari to start and added fried jalapeño, it was crispy and delicious and so good. We ordered the burger with onion rings and the gyro with fries. The food was all good, but very oily so we can’t have it often. We had plenty of leftovers to bring home. Our server was extremely nice and helpful!! The interior of the restraunt is so beautiful and spacious. Plenty of parking.
I love this place! Their lemon/chicken soup is my favorite. I also got the fried chicken, so crispy!!! Our server was the friendliest and made sure all of us were well taken care Off!
This place is easily one of the best restaurants in San Mateo. Service is always spectacular and food is consistently delicious. I usually go to the bar for Happy Hour so my go to favorites are the lamb sliders with their take on a G&T. It’s hard to find genuine hospitality these days, but Jack’s never fails to provide service with a smile :)
It will be my go-to place now to meet a friend. With real estate at premium in the Bay Area, finding a place that you can talk with a friend without being rushed is quite difficult. I can’t praise enough about their service. We didn’t order that much food but they treated us very kindly. Parking is easy. Food is great with lots of choices. Price is very reasonable. They even offered my favorite sweet potato fries without much added salt. Thank goodness this restaurant exists!
My coworkers and I visit Jacks once a month for lunch. We enjoy the food and the atmosphere. Everything is delicious and presented well. I also have to give praise to Liz our server. We sit in the exact same location every time we come and she has always helped us. She has an amazing attitude and is always making sure we have everything we need. And as long as she is around we will keep coming back!
Love this place. Been here dozens of times and I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed it before. I like to sit at the bar or in the bar area. The corn beef hash is outstanding homemade every day. Had the eggs Benedict today with a side of pancake, which is a must because their pancakes are fantastic. Our server and bartender Saul has been there a long time and is a super nice guy with excellent attention to detail and he always gets our order right.
