The salmon was excellent. Also had the pimento dip was surprisingly good. House pinot grigio was crisp and cold. It Rained on the patio the servers were quick to close the windows and I loved hearing the rain on the tin roof. I'll definitely return.
Jack Allen's Kitchen has superb food and great service. It's a little loud, but almost all the better Austin area restaurants are loud. The fact that it was crowded on a Monday night says a lot about their popularity. They are a bit pricey, but they are worth it for the occasional outing.
We only came for dessert and cocktails, but both were absolutely lovely. My husband and I don't get a date night often, and we were quite pleased with our choice. Will have to go back for a full meal next go.
Been here twice. Loved the place. Food's great. Had the 13 Spiced Chicken pasta, Cruzan Black Cherry Mojito & a Burger from their Specials menu. Went there with my colleagues & everyone was really satisfied with the dish they ordered.
During an recent visit to the Austin area, two different friends recommend Jack Allen's. I tried it for lunch today and enjoyed a fantastic meal. One of the specials today was the stacked enchiladas. Chicken tinga layered between corn tortillas, sauce and more cheese than you would think humanly possible. Then all of that is topped with a egg, over easy. Simply delicious. I was also given a sample of the house made pimento cheese. I would definitely order that as an appetizer on my next visit. Service was fantastic and efficient. A great meal overall.
This place really does do delicious food and great service. Farm to table the waiter explained.
Ordered the chicken fried beef ribs. Oh em gee. The beef ribs were succulent and just fell right off the bone. (It did have one big bone piece but that didn't make it difficult to eat at all) The batter was crisp and well flavoured. Came with some veges and gravy and mash. Would totally order again.
Also tried the cast iron chicken enchiladas. I don't eat enchiladas often but my friend who does said it was one of the best enchiladas she's ever had. I thought it was pretty good. Sauce was like a tomato cream base sauce? Chicken was soft and came with a sunny side egg.
Look forward to coming here again!

WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!! My Wife and I moved to Waco from Kentucky in October and yesterday we took a trip to Round Rock and discovered this amazing restaurant. Everything about this place was incredible and they have the best food we've had in Texas yet. The staff was super friendly, hospitable, and took great pride in their job, product, and farm to table concept. The place was so busy that we ate at the bar and Bernie was our bartender. He was genuinely friendly and made us delicious cocktails. I had the martini with vodka, grapefruit, and muddled fresh sage. It was balanced, refreshing, and they weren't cheap with the vodka but it also didn't over power the other flavors. I told Bernie we'd never been here and asked him for recommendations. And Bernie did a great job helping us figure out what we wanted to try. He knew the menu extremely well and articulated why he liked specific dishes. It was clear Bernie loved their food. Our appetizer was slow cooked quail legs with jalapeño and peach jams and micro greens. WOW!!! Absolutely fantastic and original. My Wife's entree was the chorizo stuffed pork medallions and I had the chicken fried chicken. Again, WOW!!! I'm not big into pork minus bacon, sausage, and ribs but I tried a bite of my Wife's dish and it was amazing. My chicken fried chicken was tender, juicy, and flavorful and the gravy was insanely light and seasoned well. Usually this dish is heavy but not at this restaurant. Both of us had the mixed veggies and mashed potatoes as sides. The veggies were fresh, bright, and cooked perfectly and the potatoes......best potatoes I've ever had at any restaurant in my 35 years of existence. Clearly they are mashed fresh and were wonderful. I got to meet the Head Chef, John. This guy is awesome. He is very proud of his food and craft and is driven by passion and excellence. I know what that's like because I was a full time music producer in Kentucky for years and I strive for the same excellence and am extremely passionate about my product. A 3.9 rating is ridiculous and the long wait, unique and balanced cocktails, friendly, knowledgable, and passionate staff, and excellently executed creative menu with top notch ingredients prove it. This isn't only the best restaurant I've been to in Texas. It's in the top 3 I've ever been to in my life and I've lived in 3 states, travelled to at least 30 of our states and 4 other countries. Jack Allen's Kitchen is one of those rare gems where I'm like, "Shut up and take my money!!!". I wish this place was in Waco but maybe it's good they aren't because I'd be broke. Eat here, support this business and the people who work here. Appreciate what you have in Round Rock because I WISH we had a place like this where I live. There is no such thing as perfection but this place is damn near close. We will be back!!!
Great place. Great service. Great food. Clean. Servers super fast and very polite. Easy access off 35. The New York strip chicken fried is the way to go.
My wife and I have been here countless times and it never disappoints. I love to try there specials but the menu staples are always good. They also have an awesome brunch on Sunday. This is one of the places we take out of town guests all the time.
Selected Jack Allen's for dinner based on recommendations and it was very close to my hotel. The homemade pimento cheese that is served as a complimentary taste was very good. Got to enjoy the half-price appetizers and enjoyed the pork belly sliders. For dessert the chocolate bombe was out of this world. Wish I could have another one right now...
Super Fantastic! The pork medallions, macaroni and cheese with chicken, and spinach ravioli are super tasty- but the BEST DISH is the chicken-fried chicken with smashed potatoes!! The desserts are super-rich (we had the chocolate bomb and blondie). Next time, I'll skip the dessert. Really, there is no need with all of the great entrees. Service was perfect. Definitely going back!!

And here's the final of the latest submissions from Mr. Music. And this one comes highly recommended!Started with complimentary homemade pimento cheese and flat bread crackers. I’ve never been much of a pimento cheese fan, but since it is homemade, I figured “what the heck”. I’m glad I did because it was very nice! The menu was very interesting and I knew I’d have trouble making a decision! Luckily the waiter came by to tell us about the local craft beers they had on tap. Mrs. Music mentioned they had Live Oak Hefe and I knew my search was over! Mrs. Music decided to check out the Thirsty Goat Amber from Austin’s Thirsty Planet. Neither of us had tried anything from them before; it was nice, but not really my thing. They have about 5 or 6 local craft beers at Jack Allen’s. They source all their food and drink from local sources in Texas. We thought that was pretty cool and decided we’d try a few things. We decided on an appetizer called “Smashed Guacamole” after belaboring the interesting appetizers like “Blue Crab Gratin” baked with artichokes, spinach and parmesan or the “Red Chile Fries”, “Spinach Gorgonzola Ravioli” or “Carl Miller’s Layered Chunky Queso” with green chili pork, queso and guacamole! Our dish was a very chunky, hardly mixed guacamole, covered in pumpkin seeds and cojito cheese. A little onion, tomato and cilantro were sparsely mixed in; just the way I like it! For an extra buck they throw in a bowl of their homemade salsa; yes please! Oh, the guacamole was delicious! I’ll be making some at home! The salsa was good and had a chipotle theme; but what made it awesome was when the waiter brought in a BIG bottle of their homemade habanero sauce which they make gallons of daily! It was yummy and mixed in with the salsa and guac, excellent! It did need a little salt for my taste, but just a dash. The chips were light and crunchy; yummy! On to the main courses. Music junior went for the 5 cheese mac n cheese and baby music opted for the hand battered chicken strips. The mac and cheese was served with amori pasta. I had to look it up, but was basically long spiraling tubes and were filled with the yummy cheese blend! Everyone loved it! Baby music didn’t love the chicken strips as much as the rest of us; she preferred the mac n cheese. But we thought the chicken strips were some of the best we’d ever had! Mrs. Music decided to check out one of the specials; a giant crab cake made with Texas Gulf lump crab in a mole verde topped with fresh relish made from local greens and corn. She loved it and from the taste I got, I did too! I ended up going with the same Mexican/Seafood/light theme and checked out the “Baja Grilled Fish Tacos”; they were stuffed with red snapper and served with avocado, a yummy fresh slaw and “veggie studded” rice smothered in black beans! Lots of their habanero sauce was used on this plate; by me! The entire thing was fantastic! Our waiter, Aryan was amazing; we talked with him all night. The prices were very reasonable too. We had a great experience and cannot wait to return!Notes: There are 3 Jack Allen locations, the other two in Austin: Oak Hill and 360WebsiteMenuFacebookHours: Monday-Thursday: 11am – 10pm; Friday-Saturday: 11am – 10:30pm; Sunday: 10am – 10pm (Brunch 10am – 2pm)
First let me start with I HARDLY ever give 5 stars to anyone . But this Restaurant truly is amazing. Beautiful entrance. Very welcoming staff. Our waiter “Dylan” was simply amazing! He greeted us with such great vibes. Explained the whole background of the Restaurant and the foods used from Texas Farms!
He recommended different dishes from salads to fish tacos!
Freshly squeezed lemonade was amazing ! The dessert was a strawberry and blueberry cobbler with Mexican brown sugar and cinnamon ice cream!!!
That is definitely a good choice ! Exceptional customer service! Amazing food !! Can’t get no better then this !!!! MUST GO!
Hello everybody!
Dinner went really well.
Our reservation was for 5:00PM but we had to wait about 15 minutes passed that time.
So when we got seated they put 2 $5.00 coupons because of the wait.
They also didn't charge for two of the appetizers and 3 of the 7 desserts were also taken off the bill because we were celebrating my granddaughter's birthday and my son and his wife's wedding anniversary. Everyone ordered drinks more than once so we were really surprised that the bill was only $300.
There were seven of us so that breaks down to not even $45 per person.
The food is very tasty, made to order for sure and locally provided.
They even tell you where they get there meat and produce.
Very Texas.
Not fancy but very good and well done.
Service was excellent.
That in itself is priceless.
This place lived up to the hype. I was very impressed. The reviews were all right. The margarita was small but it packed a punch. I ordered the Jack Burger. It comes with Jalapeño Mayo, bacon, cheddar cheese, pickle, and onion. You get the choice or regular fries, sweet potato fries, or get them mixed. Genius! My wife got the crispy salmon. We enjoyed the meal very much. Our waitress was good. The manager even stopped by multiple times to check on us and clean up our table. They have colors for the kids to stay occupied. The bar area is well lit and multiple TVs to watch the games.
This place is soooo good!! Everything we have tried has been awesome! We usually sit at the bar and I don’t remember the bartender’s name but she is always super friendly and makes great drinks! The food and atmosphere make this place a gem!
Our go to spot for after work dinner/drinks, can't go wrong with Mexican martinis and just about anything on the menu. Jalapeno crab dip is so good, trout or pork medallions are a favorite, any dessert is incredible. Excellent service each time, well worth the money in ambiance and service.
Had such a great experience here. The food was amazing, the drinks were fabulous and the service was exceptional! We will be back! Just a quick reminder....you are going to want a reservation :)
Went there for my birthday lunch. The food extremely delicious! We ate so much for lunch that we skipped dinner! Definitely get the Blondie Pie dessert. Daylan was an amazing host!
Delicious food, as expected. I sampled the crab cheese dip, the chorizo-park medallions and the pasta. All were super delicious!! The server was very nice and brought out some extra complimentary pimento cheese for my dad before our food came out because my dad hat taken some medicine that needed food within a certain time.
