    I am honestly shocked at how terrible our meal was. We have eaten at Costa Rica before, and while it was never amazing, it was at least decent enough to try again. But this time was beyond disappointing -- it was downright upsetting. I ordered the taco salad, and I can't express how horrible it was. The portion was unbelievably tiny, and even though I asked for extra pico de gallo, there was literally ONE tiny piece of tomato in the entire thing. The salad was mushy, soggy, and soaked in something that made it look and taste like it had been sitting out for hours. I couldn't even tell what was supposed to be in it -- no visible beans, barely any lettuce, and nothing fresh about it at all. I was so disgusted I couldn't eat more than a couple bites. I have never had a Mexican meal this bad in my life. My husband's meal wasn't much better -- also small, bland, and nothing like what we expected. For what we paid, this was beyond unacceptable. We were left hungry, irritated, and honestly angry that we wasted our time and money. We will never go back again. This experience didn't just disappoint us it completely ruined any trust we had in this restaurant.

    We had a larger party, and they did a relatively good job overall. Chips and salsa arrived quickly and were really fresh. Salsa was delicious, with the right level of spice. I ordered steak ranchero. It was done properly and the flavor was wonderful. The place is kinda cool inside, with lots of appropriate decor for the venue. Service was good, especially considering the group we had. I do recommend this one.

    Disappointing. This is "fajita chicken nachos". Boiled chicken and cheese dip. One tomato, on piece of bell pepper.

    Had a nice time at a birthday party for a friend. Place is ok it did look very different than what was there before which was red thread. I heard some not so great things but the birthday girl wanted to go there. Chips and Salsa was bland. The salsa was very bland. No kick. Ordered the Diablo shrimp, was actually really good. Good size shrimp in a spicy chipotle sauce. Rice and beans also pretty good. Hubby order fajitas which he said was good. Was able to bring in my own cake which was nice. Only wine and beer there.

    I judge a Mexican place mostly by the chips and salsa and it was "meh" at best. The chips were cold and basically just tortilla chips from the bag. The salsa was pretty good, nothing special. I got the Texas rice with cheese and I added onions and peppers. It was good and did the trick. Overall the food was okay. There are better Mexican places nearby in opinion. The atmosphere was cute though. The place was definitely clean with lots of bright, fun colors.

    Guacamole

    Very family friendly atmosphere. You don't have to worry about the kids being too loud. Beautiful cocktails. Chips and salsa brought to the table right away. We ordered guacamole for the table. It was very different from what I was expecting. Big chunks of avocado topped with fresh Pico de gallo. It was delicious. I ordered chicken fajitas for two to share with my husband. The serving was plentiful, but the pieces of chicken were very small, and I don't think they were grilled despite the sizzling plate they came on. The big disappointment were the store-bought tortillas. They could really up their game with some fresh house made tortillas. The restaurant was very busy, so they probably don't feel the need to do more.

    Located in downtown Hoschton in a large shopping center next to a church. There is plenty of space, parking, and staff. Since opening the parking lot has been packed out. The atmosphere and decor is pretty standard for a neighborhood Mexican restaurant. Bathrooms were very clean. We ordered the Taquitos Mexicanos (fantastic) which come with two shredded beef and two shredded chicken, cheese dip with jalapeños (best around) I really liked how they blended the jalapeños into a purée, Chiles Toreados (very good) roasted Serranos, Burritos Deluxe (very good) two burritos: one shredded chicken, one ground beef with beans inside topped with lettuce, tomato, guac, sour cream, and a red sauce, and the Mexican Michelada (perfect) Service was great! We never wanted for anything and the manager came by twice to check on our dinner. You can tell that they really care about your experience. In conclusion I think we found our new neighborhood Mexican spot.

Ordered pretzel bites with beer cheese as an app. They were fine. "Tried" to order entrees, but they no longer serve black bean burgers, but it's still on the menu. I'm vegetarian and I didn't want a basic salad for a meal. We ordered an additional app instead. The fried pickles were really good and not greasy nor too dilly. We added hot sauce to the ranch- I recommend. There were a few that were under-fried (don't eat the orange ones). Our server was fantastic and really on the ball. The other staff we encountered were all very friendly. The owners really need to investigate and solve the fly problem. They were everywhere (and this is inside). It was a first for me to have fly fans included in my table setting. They did the trick, but not a good look. No We will definitely be back for the beer. I really hope they can work on improving the food and resolving the fly issue. This has the makings to be a great place!

What a great idea! I had forgotten how original and traditional the meals are, we were able to walk in with no reservation and get seated within 10 minutes where we all proceeded to order drinks and for me, Guinness! We started with a few pretzels with the beer cheese, which were fantastic. Then I was craving the Reuben, which was better than I even remembered. Not massively big but some of the best flavored meat I've had in a Reuben in a while. You can tell they cook it themselves and it was really super! Rest of the family bangers and mash and a lot of fish and chips, which is something they are known for. Great service, excellent cocktails, and the food was spot on. A great venue to spend the evening got home early to have a great weekend but so glad we came here Friday night. We live nearby and hardly ever come, and this was a real treat. Highly recommend.

    We've hosted our company Christmas parties and meetings at this neighborhood bar for years and…read morealways booked them as private events. In the past, the bar closed to the public, posted signage, and staff consistently enforced that it was a private function. Under the new ownership, that standard completely collapsed during our event yesterday. When our scheduled private event began, there were still patrons inside. We assumed they would finish up and leave, but they did not. More people continued to come in, and the owners refused to clear the space or enforce the private booking. This was especially concerning because our staff group included minors (we informed the bar in advance, and made it clear they were not to be served alcohol). During the event, one patron was filming the group, including the underage attendees. Inappropriate comments were also made toward the women in our party. When we confronted the situation and asked that the video be deleted, the patron refused. When we brought this to the employees/owners, we were shocked to see them defend the patron and then demand that our group leave. It became clear that several of the patrons were friends/relatives of the owners. One of them even claimed to be an ex-cop and threatened that we would be arrested if we didn't leave. We ultimately paid our bill, left, and had to move our meeting elsewhere. If you're booking a "private event" here, be aware that the owners may not honor it or protect your group, even when minors are present. Based on how this was handled, women in particular should strongly consider avoiding this business, especially for private events or group gatherings. We will not be returning.

Upon entering, I was immediately struck by the genuinely warm greeting from the staff and the inviting, vibrant atmosphere within. The interior design skillfully balanced comfort with a dynamic energy, enhanced by multiple strategically placed screens that contributed to the lively ambiance without being intrusive. My server, in particular, delivered exceptional service, demonstrating remarkable attentiveness and professionalism throughout my entire meal. For my main course, I selected the pork chop special, which was expertly presented alongside a finely prepared potato salad and a crisp, refreshing side salad. The pork chop itself was cooked to an exquisite perfection, achieving an ideal tenderness and succulent flavor. A true highlight was the innovative accompaniment served with the dish. This unique sauce or relish offered a harmonious blend of tangy and fresh profiles, coupled with a delightful crisp texture, further elevated by perfectly rendered bacon bits that provided an ideal crunchy counterpoint and enhanced the overall culinary experience. Based on this superb dining experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Jack's Public House to anyone seeking a high-quality meal in the Braselton area. I anticipate making return visits during my remaining time here and eagerly look forward to future opportunities to dine at this exceptional establishment. Richard Biancardi

We enjoyed the Pearberry which was light and delicious, as well as the Japanese Old Fashioned which my partner thoroughly enjoyed. Although the price for bacon seemed hefty, it's almost a slab instead of slice of bacon. It's a solid portion and very thick and deliciously coated in a sticky sweet sauce that we enjoyed. We were having a great time and were in great spirits but it took a turn once we were seated for the dining portion of the experience.. I think our experience came from the person manning the meats, who in our opinion doesn't know proper temp checks. We ordered multiple filets, ribeyes, and a tomahawk at our table of 5 and every single one was under. We asked for medium and medium rare throughout our table, but they all arrived severely underdone. The tomahawk was the biggest disappointment, when you pay a hefty price, you expect better results.. but it was raw, because rare doesn't even really describe it. We are not the type to make a fuss, so we just ate our steaks and asked for sauce to make them palatable. The flavor was there but it was very subtle, it could used a bit more seasoning. We relied heavily on the sides and our prior experience at the bar to keep spirits up. The reason this review isn't worse is because regardless of our dining experience, our bar experience was superior and I'd go back strictly for that. I would try it again to see if the cook has gotten better but not for a while.
