Jack's have had many remodeling over the months, yes you read that right, but this is the best one yet. A space where people can have a conversation while eating in a well lit environment. The kitchen is not hidden behind walls anymore, thus you can actually see the cleanliness of where your food is being made.
As for price, it's expensive. They have a shorter menu now compared to before, which is good but I should be even more smaller. On a scale of 1 to 5, the food is a 3.5. They do have shakes and smoothie options available also.
Jack's changes staff like clockwork, it's to the point where you're not sure if the staff you're seeing serving you today, will be present next week.

Solid chicken tenders and fries. Pricing could be better but everything in collegetown is $15 so it's on par

*Jack's Grill is a restaurant that I rank high for their delicious food and friendly service.* They have a diverse menu that caters to every need and will satisfy any kind of customer. The only downside is the price as it is quite high for the average consumer and the wait time. Nevertheless, the food is tasty and well worth the price and wait.
In addition to the food, I have to give credit to their staff as well! They have always been so friendly towards their patrons and are dedicated to improving their business and their practices which I highly commend.
I can understand some of the negative reviews; not every interaction and meal will be right all the time. But I believe that Jack's Grill deserves 5 stars and I hope people continue to support this business for years to come!

I got the bacon cheeseburger with bbq and pulled pork on it and it was amazing. Super flavorful and juicy. The fries were really tasty, fresh and salted. The shakes were to die for. They have lots to choose from on the menu, as well as all day breakfast. The reason why I gave service a 2 star is because nobody is really present up front. As I was ordering, another gentleman was lightly yelling “hello” to grab somebodies attention. The atmosphere was decent, in a nice college town surrounded by lots of food, shops, and people walking around about. If I could I would do a 3.5, but overall, I’m okay with giving it a 4.

Food was really good. Spicy cauliflower was amazing. The only negative is that the service was extremely slow and they never completed the door dash to let me know that it was done.

The place looks great, typical Diner experience. Did not try much to give an honest review, but everything on the menu looked delicious. I had crab fries and egg and cheese sandwich. Both of them were fresh and delicious enough to make me go back to the place. Also, it is a local business so has that touch to it, which I absolutely love! If you're looking for a change then I recommend coming here and help promoting local businesses!

Really hits the spot if you're craving excessively greasy American food. The pulled pork mac n cheese is really good, I highly suggest it. There are also a few good shareables--fried pickles are pretty good, and it's a HUGE portion. You can easily split those with 4, 5 people. Fries are decent, too. It's a bit overpriced, but not excessively so. Customer service is also pretty good.
