    Veggie tacos
    Dawn S.

    The service here is always great. We popped over for lunch as it is close to our work. We got there early enough to grab a booth. We shared chips and salsa and ordered food. I ordered the veggies tacos. They were presented beautifully. The only bummer was that the sweet potatoes were not cooked all the way. They were so hard they weren't even edible. The rest of the veggies were good. I would have loved a few more pickled onions. They did give me extra tortillas to go with my leftovers. Overall, great service and good food. :)

    Jack Allen's is one of the most consistently reliable establishments in the Austin area. We dine more frequently at the Oak Hill location but tonight we went to the 360 location. We've never had a bad meal at any of their establishments. Our server Amber was so great tonight. It's difficult to face the public and she was just holding it down: super charming, communicative, and fun to interact with. Service makes such a huge difference when dining and she was remarkable. The food was delicious as always. The fancy country club salad was just perfect and the shrimp platter is hard to beat. Their sourcing of ingredients is always on point and makes all the difference. There are some items on the menu that are just excellent values as well. We even ordered some extras to take home. We will be back very soon.

    Catfish entree
    Bryan T.

    Large restaurant with a fun open bar area and a variety of things to eat Apps orderd were fried jalapeños, guacamole and fried catfish . Alls apps were done well, fresh and tasty Entree was the trout. I wanted the bacon wrapped quail I had read about in a different YELP review but they no longer offer it. For accuracy I wish they could update that info Trout was good , overall dining experience was 3.5 stars

    Red Fish
    Valerie L.

    Dinner tonight was great we had the red fish and shrimp, both great. Our server Bella made it that much better. Jack's is always 100%.

    First time here and it was so good! Made a reservation for a Sunday night but it was pretty open anyway so probably didn't need it. Seated in a booth and ordered right away. Food was hot, good quality, tasted great. The spinach ravioli starter was 10/10!! Our server was super chill and had lots of knowledge on the menu, they gave us a birthday treat since we were celebrating a birthday. Great experience and would recommend!

    Amazing banana cream pie
    Mark E.

    The most blessed food in Austin, Texas just amazing flavors. home cooked everything and great value and a beautiful setting and excellent service. Highly recommend recommended all the time anytime.

    Smashed Guacamole
    Elizabeth K.

    absolute favorite brunch place in austin. avocado toast is my usual order. the staff is always very nice & overall great service.

    Barbacoa quesadilla.
    Jana N.

    Great happy hour selections for food. All starts are half priced. We tried the catfish and the quesadilla. Loved the slaw so much. I could just eat that alone. I think jicama is in it. The pork is sweet but add some hot sauce and it's perfect. Great bartender that knows wine.

    Barbacoa eggs benedict
    Alan H.

    A decent place for weekend brunch without a wait and plentiful parking! This restaurant is huge and if you're looking for a simple no wait brunch this might be a good place for you. We ordered the Barbocoa eggs benedict it has so much flavor and uniqueness with it being served a fried green tomato. The Barbocoa was savory with a perfect amount of fat combined with hollandaise chipotle sauce was very tasty. The issue was one egg was not running but the other eggs was somewhat running. Also, the potatoes were uncooked and a bit hard bite to them. We also ordered the Dee Dee's Short stack which is essentially a glorified French toast with mascarpone. This is good and not too overly sweet. I would recommend this dish.

    Crispy Salmon croquettes special
    Aruni G.

    I had lunch yesterday with a long time dear friend and mentor at one of our favorite places to meet. I tried one of their daily specials (salmon croquettes) and it was delicious. Our server, Josie, was wonderful and made sure we had everything we needed even down to the timely refills of our unsweetened tea!

    Are any of the JA locations offering Sunday brunch buffet?

    Hi Jorge! All of our JAK locations offer brunch starting at 11am on Saturday and Sunday. Due to COVID, we are not offering our buffet at this time. We have a brunch menu… 

    Did y'all stick with the new Caesar dressing recipe or go back to the old one? (Old 4 lyf!) We moved away and miss you dearly...dying to know which recipe won out.

Had not been to this restaurant in a good while, and was a last minute decision. Good choice. The whipped feta is always a treat -- light and creamy with a solid feta taste, but not overpowering, served with a few orange slices and thinly sliced almonds, and pita. Special dish! Beet salad excellent, but the Fresno peppers had way too much heat, so pushed them to side. My wife had the Moroccan curry, which had a very spot on Moroccan flavor (been there 3x), and was a large, filling portion so brought home leftovers. I had the grilled pork chop which was large, perfectly grill with a tasty bourbon-based glaze, served with a large roasted garlic clove. Wonderful dish. My wife had a white wine that she enjoyed and my martini, slightly dirty with olives (to start) was a large pour and very smooth. Enjoyable meal in a nice setting once again ...

This place is so intoxicating from the aqua blue color palate and funky green art work to the alluring lighting and huge metal plate (looks like something from a ship...also their logo). My brother said the green artwork looked like broccoli. My brother ordered the Idaho trout with coconut rice and Brussel sprouts. I sampled his food and it was all good. The standout was the Brussel sprouts...crispy with this absolutely delicious drizzle. I ordered the Mezze plate with a flavor explosion and many desirable texture. It had lamb kabobs, fresh salad (emphasis on fresh) with thinly sliced cucumbers, finely sliced onions and creamy feta (never had creamy feta), red round sweet peppers, hummus with the most delightful pesto like sauce, and olives. Oh my...what a delicious lunch! Morgan, our server, was attentive and accomodating. She moved us to another table when we notice our table was rocking a little. Great catching up with my brother and excellent meal!

When we walked in, we were greeted by beautiful decor, though it seemed quite busy, so there weren't many staff members at the front to welcome us. The restaurant had a couple of other guests, but it did take a little while for someone to come over and help us find a seat. Stuart enjoyed his chicken fajitas--they loved them! I chose the fresh burrito to avoid simple carbs. The food was a bit mild in flavor, so I asked for salsa. They have a delicious homemade habanero salsa that's bursting with flavor, and I especially appreciated that it wasn't smoky. That salsa alone earns five stars from me! Aside from that, it was a little challenging to get someone's attention for the check and water, but overall, it was a pleasant experience.

You check in with your credit card, then enjoy self‑serve access to an endless tap wall of wine, craft beer, and pre-made cocktails. Food is ordered at the same counter. We arrived Friday at 6 PM to crazy busy back‑to‑school event, so things were beyond chaotic. We heeded the sign by the entrance that said "Wait to be seated," but after a few minutes we learned you just head to the counter to order food and secure a table. Even with the rush, the young staff and owners were incredibly helpful throughout our visit. You swipe your smart card by your selection and are charged by the ounce. There are small tasting glasses and big boy mugs. I was tempted to pour myself a 16 ounce Old Fashioned but those days are long gone, LOL! Our burgers and protein salads came out quickly and were solid 4‑star meals. They did forget my granddaughter's order, but fries kept her happy until her nuggets arrived. The tap wall has some great local options from Meanwhile, Pinthouse, and Infamous breweries. I struck out twice with all‑foam pours, but a friendly server fixed both without hesitation. There are also some cocktail options including a Paloma, and the Old Fashion. Outside, the playscape and open field are perfect for kids to burn off energy. My granddaughter had me running up and down the slide more times than I can count. Overall, OZ is solid with good food, great service, and a kid friendly venue.
