My husband and I had dinner here. We tried the chicken nachitos, the crispy fried catfish and slaw, and the chicken fried New York strip. For dessert had the blondie brownie pie. The food was all delicious. The chicken for the nachos was seasoned well. My husband said his catfish was crunchy, and the sauce gave it a good taste. The country fried steak was juicy and crunchy. It had the right amount of batter and was fried to perfection. The green chili gravy has the right amount of spice for me because I am not a fan of spicy foods. The brownie was a bit too sweet for me, but my husband ate it. Overall, it was great.
Great restaurant we like. The deep fried New York strip was so crispy and tender.
Love Jack Allen’s was great! The only reason for 4 stars is the trout had no flavor BUT that chicken sandwich was the BEST we’ve ever had. Drinks are well prices and so good! Stacey at the bar was nice and it’s a great vibe. Highly recommended for lunch or brunch and definitely will be back!
Delicious food choices fill the menu. Bring an appetite and your friend to enjoy a dinner that we leave you satisfied. I enjoyed the pesto marinated crab-stuffed chicken followed by a rich flourless chocolate torte. Yum!
Always a great place to eat and drink. I usually get the Ruby Red Trout Salad every time because it’s awesome! But they had a special this night as a Shrimp Ceviche Tostado entree so I tried it…also awesome! I had the Jack Margarita with it that was spicy but not too much and the German Chocolate Brownie for dessert. It was good but nothing wowing. The strawberry crumble that my husband had was better. Great service!

I’ve always enjoyed Jack Allen’s Kitchen, especially the original one. The one in Westlake was really off last night. Three couples met for dinner. The server was excellent. Drinks were good and came quickly. Luckily we sat in a corner because it is loud in the restaurant when it is full. Everyone seemed to enjoy the food but the kitchen failed to dress the wedge salad and failed to serve the entree to one of our party. By the time it came our food was cold. I ordered a green chili cheeseburger without the bun. It wasn’t cooked as ordered and very mediocre. No sides. We will give it another try because we know everyone is short handed.
Whenever we have visitors from out of town, Jack Allen's Kitchen is a safe bet. We stopped by for a brunch and decided to order items from their brunch menu instead of regular menu. 🤭
We started with Layered Chunky Queso and Chicken Nachitos as starter (Both we're delicious); for the main course, I ordered the Roasted Ribeye & Sage Hash. Both presentation and flavor of the dish were good. I like how well the eggs on top were cooked in the way that, upon breaking the surface, the egg yolks would be fixing and running down with the the smoky chipotle hollandaise. The only thing I believe would help is adding a little more description of the dish since people visiting JAK for the first time might expect a piece of Ribeye steak rather than diced one. Anyway, the experience was great as usual. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Excellent dinner at Jack Allen's with my friend. Amazing Barbacoa Tostada appetizer. ( Could have ordered two of these and called it dinner!). But we ordered the spicy chicken sandwich and salad with pear, goat cheese and walnuts. Both were incredibly delicious. Would order both again. Can't wait to return and try more of the menu! The quality of everything was fresh and the wait staff was top notch.
Food is to die for and service was divine.
Definitely recommend this place over and over again
Both the pork medallions and the braised beef barbacoa enchiladas were delicious as well as their version of guacamole with pumpkin seeds in it. Not much for their special pimento cheese but everyone else loved it. The gluten free chips were really good.
Amazing place, food and drink.
Martini margarita is delicious!!! Sangria is really good.
Nachos are very tasty.
Crab dip also very good.
I ordered the barbacoa enchiladas (delicious), my sister had the special, salmon enchilada (the best one), my husband the pork chop (very good) and a burger, also very tasty.
We enjoy the environment, staff are friendly, everything was very pleasant.
