I've got a little secret, not only have I been going here for at least 6 years, I have been running around town telling everyone it's called 'Jack's'. I honestly did not know what it was called until last year, my friend and I were discussing the same place at Market Square and decided it was in the same spot. But she called it Coffee Square, and I kept saying 'Jack's'. I learnt the right name then. The reason I'd been calling it Jack's for so long is because my friend who knew the owner called it Jack's because his name was, yep, you guessed it, Jack.
Correction made, let's get down to business. They are open late, until 12:30am, which for anyone looking for a feed besides McDonalds after dinner time, is just plain super. They do close the actual kitchen around 10-11pm but still serve tidbits and drinks until late.
I was first a little bit suspect of the menu because it was all over the place, the entree's were on page 6, the mains were split up into subgroups and those groups were split up some more, so it was a bit of a labyrinth to navigate yourself around. They serve steaks, they specialise in baked dishes, baked spaghetti, baked chicken... baked whatever, it comes out looking the same, encased in melted cheese straight from the oven. I had the baked chicken the first time I was there, and I didn't like it. The second time I went there I had the salt and pepper tofu (great), the sweet and sour pork ribs (awesome) and the chicken and pineapple fried rice (delicious). While the dishes are yummy and served really quick, the drink to get here is the green tea iced frappe. The first time I had this drink I almost pee'd myself. It was huge. It was so good and I keep going back there for it.
Definetely a great place to get food late at night if you're in the area, the prices are around $10, quite cheap as well. But bring cash because like all the other places in Market Square, they don't take card. read more
