Mixed feelings about Jacks. For a place that has fajita in the name, you'd think fajitas would be awesome.... NOT here. Good drinks, goods apps, good brisket tacos. Skip thr fajitas. Best way to cover the fajitas average is to get the nachos that have all kinds of stuff masking thr just OK fajitas. Jacks will continue to be a main go to until more restaurants open with dock access. read more

Trying to offer service during this pandemic can be crazy. Our server, Mason, and the rest of the staff were great. Very accommodating and did an amazing job with our group. We had fajitas, nachos, burritos, quesadillas and they were all awesome. There is something for everyone's taste buds. Highly recommend this place. Thanks again Fajita Jacks! read more

Been here maybe a dozen times and it's quite average texmex. The service is good and the setting is great, but the menu and drinks are just ok. The prices are a bit higher (lake tax) so if your not going to be on the lake, I don't recommend going for the food. For my money the food at 7 legas or Bosque is better, but you can only boat to Fajita Jacks. read more

Fajita Jack's was a lovely restaurant. We chose to sit outside on the patio for a lakeside view and a cool summer night. For an appetizer, we had the Blanco queso which was excellent. It was creamy and delicious. We had the combo fajitas. It was average, nothing significantly special. I think what really made it was the waiter, Karen O. We had excellent, friendly service. She always made sure our cups were full, we had fresh warm chips, and greeted us with warm smiles. She was just that type of person that made smile every time she spoke to you. To wrap up, the customer service was excellent and that is what really made the experience positive. read more

Fajita Jacks - Patio and great view - Tex-Mex Near Me - Conroe, Texas

Fist time at Lake Conroe. Driving in at night you can't miss the lighted restaurant. We ordered an appetizer that filled us up. No surprise we took most of our Fajita combo to go. Food was delicious. Atmosphere was a 10. It was Saturday night and the restaurant next door had a band playing so it was great to sit outside, enjoy the lake view and hear some great music. Our waitress was sweet. Good service. read more

Fajita Jacks - Tex-Mex Near Me - Conroe, Texas

This is probably a place I would NEVER visit again simply on service. Food was great, drinks are decent but I can't with the server. Our server Jacob was very short and not warming being my first time being here. Didn't really care to ask if we were okay or could he do anything additional for us. When the food the arrived the food runner dropped his DIRTY rag in my FOOD !!!!!! And the waiter acted as if were my problem. I'm just in awwwweee. Ughhh. ! read more

This place is our favorite. I haven't had a dish I didn't like. My husband and I go and we love their fajitas. They have a spicy sauce you can get that is really great and extra hot. We have tried most of their appetizers and are never disappointed. The staff Is always friendly and the view of the lake is gorgeous. read more

So sad that there is nowhere decent to eat on the lake in Conroe. Flies are everywhere in the restaurant. Salsa & chips are ok but nothing to rave about. Food is so salty. We will inevitably give this place another try when the weather is beautiful & we want to sit outside but the food & service are always just mediocre. We have decided if we want to take the boat somewhere we will just come here for a beer (margaritas are a no) & chips & salsa, maybe queso. read more

Best TexMex on Lake Conroe with a lakeside view and fun atmosphere! Outdoor seating in winter is fun with fire-pit and heated lanterns! Summertime is best later in day for outdoor seating. read more

Very interesting place . The wIt was not long even though the place was packed out . We were waited on super quick the food got to us just as ordered and everyone was very happy with what they ordered . I would definitely recommend this place to all . read more

Fajita Jacks - Tex-Mex Near Me - Conroe, Texas

Pretty darn good fajitas and sopapillas. I'd eat here again if I was back in the area.

Except for their prime location on Lake Conroe and good atmosphere, this is one of the worst Mexican restaurants I have EVER experienced. Everything, including the chips is bland and lifeless. House margaritas taste like a bitter, powdered lemonade mix. Fish tacos tasted like metal. Salsa is a mixture of tomato sauce and Green chilies. And to top it all off, the menu is really hard to read. I am a graphic designer and specialize in menu design, so this really stands out to me as some of the worst design ever. Nearly impossible to read even with magnifying glasses. Whoever put this together has never taken a course in graphic design and has no sense of special layout or the rules of quality graphics. Amateur at best. Lots better choices in the area. read more

What can i say??? great service, food was great, atmosphere is awesome!!! I'd have no problem recommending to friends.. plus, you can park the boat instead of drive in!! read more

First time here. Had ask for our server several times. Fried shrimp was tasty but served over cold French fries! The best part of the combo fajitas was the grilled onions. Chicken was good... beef was missing that grilled sear and were a little blah. Condiments were sparse and we had to request more cheese. Flour tortillas were fresh & delicious but only three served. Had to find a server to ask where are our rice & beans. Great air conditioned patio! read more

Holy hell! This place was the best. The drinks were perfectly mixed (not watered down and not over the top with alcohol). We enjoyed our 30 minute wait with our drinks and overlooking Lake Conroe. Trust me, the wait was worth it. Our waiter was as nice as can be and very attentive. The food...the food was uh-mazing! Our table of 3 shared the El Ganadero platter and it was cooked to perfection. The corn tortillas tasted great and if you're into EXTRA spicy hot sauce then order the house made habanero salsa. You will not be disappointed. I am not exaggerating in the slightest. In fact everything was sooo good that I couldn't wait to leave my review. I'm still here eating! read more

Here's an update on Fajita Jacks, I have emailed the manager of Fajita Jacks (the feedback on my experience) in regards to the incident, and received no response. But because I went on yelp to publicly talk about my experience all of a sudden I get a response. Ladies and gentleman, don't waste you time or money on this establishment. read more

I've been here several x's about twice a month this summer & each time it's been exceptional. It's definitely a nice improvement! Love the butter sauce that is served with the fajita's! read more

We had party of 10 and two plates came out with dead bugs on top of the food! Don't eat here!! People should at least check the plates before bringing them out. read more

Wonderful view, awful service. Isabella, our waitress, brought a regular margarita instead of strawberry. Fine, but when I mentioned it to her she got upset and told me she correctly put in the order. Then tried to convince me that there was strawberry in it. I let her walk off, because you do not argue with or lie to customers. She came back and I can't told her the drink is incorrect. "What do you want me to do?! Take it back to the bar and have them put strawberry in it?". She snatched the drink up, marched it to the bar and brought the same drink back with strawberry plopped it it. I think this violated some codes and was petty, bit I thanked her for the strawberry. Everything was answered her questions with about orders and food was met with disgust and disdain. I've never been treated that way, I'm always patient with servers as customer service can really be awful and extremely challenging. We tipped her ten dollars and left. We won't be going back for a while. read more

The fajita meat tasted spoiled afterwards from eating it I threw up and the drinks was nasty tasted like dishwashing liquid and watered down I will never go back to this place $80 spent wasn't even worth it and our server Mason wasn't good either bad customer service please don't waste your time and money read more

Good food good location not super expensive. On the water good views. Had free ice cream before covid hopefully be back soon.

Went here with family from out of town. This is not about the mediocre food or the under quoted long wait in a very tight/ not handicap friendly wait area. This is about the staff and manager. I fell walking to our table. I was holding my 2 year old son. When it happened, I literally tried to catch myself by reaching for the back of the hostess that was seating us. Not to pull her down but bc the back of her legs were there. She didn't offer to help us up. She didn't ask if we were ok literally just worried about how many menus we needed and walked away while all the people around looked on. Our server was literally the only one to show compassion and offered a bag of ice to my son who ended up with a bump on his head. The manger came over only at the request of our server. All he could say was he'd talk to the hostess and again didn't seem the least bit concerned and struggled to give us more than a few seconds of empathy or come back by to check on us. I get it's a busy restaurant but it could have been a lot worse situation - thankfully it wasn't. Additionally, I asked a different worker for plasticware and he had no idea what that was. I explained it was a plastic spoon or fork. He told me I could go get it at the ice cream station and carried on with wiping the menus down. They seriously need some training when accidents happen and how to treat a human being/ customer service. Again, our server was very sweet and she was tipped generously. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

The shrimp fajitas were great, good service and a beautiful view of the lake. We had a great time and will be back. read more

Fajita Jacks - Jason and at Fajita Jack's on Lake Conroe. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Conroe, Texas

What a place!! Really cool!!. Found it just driving around looking for a place to eat, when we found this place last Saturday for lunch with family while in town. It was a bit of a wait to get a table but hey we had a large party and they did accommodate us very well. The wait staff was cool and fun, they were light hearted when they saw us, unlike most places due to the size you can see the grumble in their eyes. They really had some great recommendations on meals and drinks. Food was awesome had some bacon wrapped shrimp. I can say when we go back we will stop in here for some more drinks. read more

So I consider myself very objective when it comes to food and my dining experience. I can be understanding of mishaps, etc, but this place is just garbage. They are getting two stars only because of the politeness of staff and ambiance. The food would get no stars. Let's start with apps. Queso, gross! Are you kidding? It was like off brand Velveeta without seasoning, already had a film on it before it made it to the table because it wasn't hot enough and it's $6 for a small. Ceviche was awful. Absolutely flavorless. All you taste is mango. Girlfriend ordered tortilla soup and it came out luke warm and was also flavorless. Basically chicken broth with non seasoned shredded chicken. So bad we sent it back. This place is called Fajita Jacks so I ordered fajitas. HUGE mistake. They were dry, no flavor, not hot, chewy and very underwhelming. Flank or skirt steak is not hard to cook but easily done wrong, and they definitely did it wrong. The tortillas are dreadful! They are too thick and doughy. I would never recommend eating here to anyone. This has to be the worst Mexican food in Conroe. The only way I imagine they stay open is the location, alcohol sales and the green sauce. It's surely not the food. This place needs serious help. read more

The food was really good. Margaritas also very good. The service was really good as well. We sat outside which was nice. Enjoyed watching boats. read more

Staff great and met a lot of nice people. Food and drinks were super and all at a decent price, my new favorite place!

Food is great! Nice atmosphere right on the lake. This is our go to Mexican restaurant. We love it.

Came here with friends and service was great. But, margaritas were not good. Asked them to take them back and bring new ones and they were sour with no alcohol. Rip off read more

amazing food ! We had Juan as a server ! HES WAS INCREDIBLE ! were from west Texas but he made us feel right at home ! Definitely coming back ! he was truly one of the best servers I've ever had ! 10/10 #welovejuan read more

To reply to the manager you were not busy at this time. There were a total of 2 other families outside when I was seated the rest of the tables had no one. As for the inside it wasnt even 50 perfect full. There is no excuse. For future outside customers make sure you dedicate a server for the outside balcony. The server I approached stated well that's not my section. He should have alerted the other server when we were seated or the hostess should have. There seems to me several missed opportunities of communication on your part. As the manager maybe you should brush up on these with your staff. Also if you would have reached out and maybe asked what happened before posting a lame excuse that is totally false I may have been more likely to give you another chance. I am big on admitting when your wrong and not making excuses. read more

Great Mexican restaurant where you can pull your boat right up to the restaurant. The queso fundido is absolutely amazing and the margaritas rock as well. I'll definitely be coming back here! This was my second time and I love it! read more

Great atmosphere. Good service. Huge drink menu, great margaritas (my main reason to go there) food is good too!

Update: I had the cheese enchilada. I'm 100% sure they have Wolfe brand chili on the cheese enchilada. Awful this kitchen needs help and restaurant. Not the only thing I tried. Just thought it was funny it was canned chili. Taste it review and like if I'm right . read more

Fajita Jacks has the best TexMex and the view of the lake is gorgeous! It's definitely a must-try if you haven't already.

Not the greatest. Wait staff always seems bothered by having to wait on another table. The food is terrible. We have given this place several chances and ordered new things every time. Every time we leave scratching our heads saying "why did we come back." The scenery is nice so maybe not a bad choice for drinks on the lake. read more

Fiancé and I always split the combo fajita's always soooo good! However the salsa and queso throw us for a loop every time. Cold queso and hot salsa maybe they do it differently in Texas. read more

Ordered the Baja shrimp tacos. There were literally three mini shrimp in each one. Whole plate was cold. NOT worth $17! Stale chips.

I've been here twice, once for lunch and once for dinner on my search for a rehearsal dinner location. I think we've found a winner! Things I like: 1. The fajita meat is awesome 2. The salsas they bring with the chips are really good. 3. There is a vanilla soft serve machine for a free dessert after (or before? Ha ha!) your meal! 4. Nice view of the marina. 5. Happy hour is 11-6 and large margaritas are $3!!!! I'll update my review after my rehearsal dinner, but for now, I think this restaurant is pretty good! read more

KENNETH was AWESOME! He recommended the Shrimp & Spinach Enchiladas with Poblano Cream Sauce. They were GREAT...except that some of the shell was left on my shrimp tails. Kids split the Ultimate Fajitas and the hubby got the Mariachi Tacos. All were very happy. Great view of Lake Conroe. Easily accessible. Free ice cream cones after lunch made it even better!! read more
