Currently researching my move to the outer banks so that I can eat these burgers and fries every night of my life. SO GOOD. Crispy crinkle fries, delicious beer cheese, and OMG that JB sauce. I'll be dreaming about it until someone gives me the recipe. read more

Staff, 11/10. Friendliest most attentive people I've ever met. Shout out Brady, Jordan and Larry. Thank you for being so lovely. PATRONS (9-10pm) 2/10. The absolute rudest, entitled, oblivious and demanding people I've ever seen. (Aka the just turned 21 crowd). For people looking for a more "already know bar rules" definitely go around 11:30. Still 5/5 stars. Can't beat how amazing the staff was. Updated menu w/prices in pictures. read more

Nice spot! We were seated immediately and service was pretty quick. Although the burger could've used some seasoning, it was juicy and the tots were tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. Would definitely go back. read more

This place was right next to our Air BnB so we decided to try it. It was a lively dive bar. We felt super welcomed. We ordered a burger I got the one we mushrooms on it, the mushrooms are were flavorful, burger good. Fries were standard but the cheese sauce was definitely something to write home about so good!!! Pricing is very fair you definitely get your bang for your buck here. read more

As solid of a beachy vibe as you're gonna get. Laid back. Front of the house run by lifeguard types. Chef is in the back slammin orders with finesse. The bar is bumpin. Live music in the back lawn. Outdoor, order your own from the bar or menu seating in the front. The food is everything you would want. I would put their burgers up against any that I've had. The dank nugs are so good! Saucy! In a world of food surrounding me on the outer banks, I chose this spot more than once. Mangiamo! read more

We wanted to grab some lunch by the beach and drove by this unassuming place. As soon as you open the door, that's where the adventure begins. You're greeted quickly by incredibly friendly staff and whisked to your seat. They explained the menu and if you ask him, they'll give you really good ideas on what to get. The food was incredibly tasty. The options were just perfect. I will definitely be back! PS try the fried Oreos! Totally worth it!! read more

Came here for the night life! Brought the younger generation with us. Jacks has an outdoor area with live bands and outdoor tables. The bouncer gave instructions on how to order food if we weee hungry. You have to come inside to get your cocktails. Staff were friendly and accommodated with our variety of cocktails. The drinks are pricey and not too strong. Once the 10p hour hits, new bands play inside and a cover charge happens. read more

Love jack browns!!! Fried Oreos are a must and you really can't go wrong with any burger. All the servers were so friendly and attentive even with it being super busy. Nice casual spot for a quick lunch! Dog friendly too in the front porch or back yard areas! read more

The staff is awesome. The burgers a great. Been there twice since we moved here. My husband has been there more than me now. First time I had the shocker. If you're not for spice don't eat it. By far my favorite burger. The second time I had the when in Rome burger and it was great. I want to try the two combined the place reminds me of those old biker bars in California makes me feel home. They have a great selection of beers. I'm a cider, seltzer girl if it's not a mixed drink so I found my place here read more

This place is a classic pub with great music playing in the back. It's definitely a burger-and-beer kind of spot, so don't expect a huge variety on the menu. If that's what you're looking for, though, it's a fun, laid-back place to grab a bite and enjoy some music. read more

This place always seems to disappoint me. Hamburgers are ok, but much better at other local places. Service was slow and the place was noisy. read more

Service rocks and sat at the bar with soccer. Burgers and beers were top notch. Thank You

Keep in mind, it's primarily burgers. BUT, the burgers are phenomenal. Daily specials are pretty cool too. Service was good in terms of refills/table touching but their attitudes are pretty poor, both host and server. The environment was super cool, a lot to look at. read more

We happened to pop in with a group of 6 (we all mostly agreed!), and I'm glad we did!! I had the jacked up fries (DELICIOUS!) and parts of the Frank n Brady sandwich, and I highly recommend both. The service was beyond excellent. This place actually has customer service, which is rare these days and rare during tourist season down here. Good food, good service, good ambiance. We may be back for karaoke tonight. read more

We came here so that someone could have the Franky Baby again. They enjoyed it so much last year they considered it a necessary part of the beach this year. I had the Ron Swanson & it was even better than I expected. The fries were great too. The atmosphere is unbeatable, especially with the decor inside. The staff were all friendly and helpful. This might become a regular stop when we are here. We did not try the fried Oreos so that's just another reason to return. Not sure when they have live music but the duo they had last night was both talented and amusing. It was a great time all around. read more

Cowboy 7/10 only because there was not a lot of BBQ on it Cobra Kai 10/10 that was a bomb azz burger Elvis 8/10 good but not as good as the Cobra Kai Greg Brady 7/10 just not the best flavor They have a huge beer selection but don't have very many wines. No CHARDONNAY NO LETUCE NO TOMATO We definitely would be back * service was excellent but who ever brought our food just kind of sat it all down and walked away. Everything was mixed up and we didn't have what we ordered in front of us.* That's the only thing I would change. Greeted amazing! Our waiter was amazing! read more

This is a no frills diner that serves one specialty, burgers! So if burgers are not your thing, you may want to look for other options. You can get your burger in about 7 to 8 different ways. All of these varieties are prepared flavorfully. Sides are ordered separately as ala carte item, which is a drawback. Servers are attentive and helpful. Portions were good, and came out in a timely manner. Interior dining area is almost nostalgic to a past bygone era. Overall, a good place for burgers, and only burgers. read more

90% bar, 10% restaurant- at least after hours. We visited this spot at 10pm out of desperation when almost everything else had stopped serving food. College students were the bulk of the crowd here, and the frat formal weekend probably made this even more so the case than usual. I got grilled cheese and a pickle. It was super basic and super cheap- totally worked. Late night orders happened at the bar and they were quick to bring out food. My wife was able to get a burger that she enjoyed. We weren't able to stay for very long because there was some of the worst karaoke performances I've ever heard in my life happening. Really pushing the boundaries of "karaoke is for everyone." I mean- so confidently bad and SO loud, song after song. I ate as fast as I could and got out of there. I appreciate that they had food available and it might be better during the day. read more

Back cuz we HAVE TO COME HERE every time we are in OBX! The tater tots jacked up are a fantastic way to start the meal! Cheeseburgers are fabulous! Yes!! No tomato or lettuce. Condiments at the table. Fries are good! Check the specials and the burger of the day. Megan was wonderful. Love an attentive, cheerful, enthusiastic person!!! We felt well taken care of. Had 2 newbies. Both are now "WE MUST COME HERE EVERY TIME IN OBX!!!" The inside is almost overwhelming with visual overload! Love the license plates, dollar bills, etc!! Jack Brown never fails!!! read more

Jack Brown's never disappoints! I'm pulling up there was people everywhere the place was packed people standing outside look like it'd be like a two hour wait we gave her a name. They said probably 45 minutes so we ran around the corner for a minute and we got a text that our table is ready in 10 minutes . We were pleasantly surprised! Got back and got seated right away. Our waitress was right there seeing if we wanted water and drinks we were pleasantly surprised to see that they have added canned drinks such as high noons and seltzer since the last time we were there. We put an order in of the fried pickles, which were absolutely delicious. We all got our burgers cooked to perfection and we left happy people. The only struggle of the whole night is parking. There are not a lot of places to park and if you drive a big truck like I do, you have even less options, but we made it work. Go see Jack and have a burger ! read more

Tried this place because the parking lot was full. It was delicious!!! Great burgers and delicious loaded fries. Definitely worth a stop.

Got dinner here. They had live music and options for seating in the back, inside, and the front patio (which allows dogs). We sat in the back with the music. Self seating and kind of self serve. We looked at the menu on their website and then went up to the outdoor bars to order food and drinks. We all ordered the Greg Brady burger and everyone but me ordered fries. Everything that was fried here is cooked in peanut oil which is stated on their paper menus by the outdoor bar. The burgers took a while to come out but they were worth the wait. read more

It's a dive. There were bras hanging from a round rack at the end of the bar. There was an old washer sitting out front. Kinda a mix of memorabilia and junk. (Still clean, though.) But the burgers are amazing. Ended up eating here twice. Loved the Cowboy burger. Thought I would love the Ron Swanson burger, and it was good... but I liked the cowboy one better. Thd first time we came to eat, the hostess was a little rude. It was a holiday and they were busy. She didn't want to put us on the wait list. We were ok waiting and i insisted when I spoke to the other guy working the front. Ended up only having to wait 15 minutes. The next night, it wasn't busy at all and we were seated immediately. (Parking is limited and I did have to circle a couple of times to find a spot when they were busy.) read more

Representing 2020 in alphabet series, J is for Jack Brown's. Cranking out one more Yelp review today as I didn't want to end on a sour, bad note with a bad memory. In July 2020, my girlfriend & I took a trip to Outer Banks. We had broken up for 2 weeks in late June 2020, but we were back together for 3 weeks in July. She had asked to go to Outer Banks, and I decided why not as it would be nice to take a trip out here. I hadn't been to OBX as an adult only when I was 9 in 1993. So, I thought it sounded like a good idea. We stumbled upon Jack Brown's for a late dinner on our way to an AirBnB not far from here. Burger was solid, and staff was nice. This is a cool outdoor restaurant/bar with lawn games, etc. and plenty of outside seating. If in OBX, I'd be happy to come back here. read more

Hot inside and we waited a long time just to order food. Service was good, overall friendly staff. Burger was banging though, Cobra Kai burger was dang good. read more

We came back again and this place still as good as the last time we came here. Cobra Kai burger is delicious! Friendly staff. Will be back again. read more

Absolutely amazing burger!! Menu changes so don't get too locked in from Yelp pictures. The fries are crispy and very well seasoned. Our wait person was awesome and super cool. Entire staff is visually appealing. The interior is as pictured by others. It's simply a bar. Nothing fancy but not in a bad way. I'll be back in a few weeks to see what the new year menu looks like. read more

Great staff, great beers, nice exterior seating, and great food. Ask for their secret sauce. Kobra Kai burger was great, buns were fresh and the fries weren't too oily. read more

I recently stopped in while visiting the OBX it was late and we were hungry. We stopped in probably around 930 on a Fri night. The place was popping to say the least. They were having karaoke and the volume was insane. You order at the bar and I thought I was gonna have to crawl across the bar to hear the bartender. That being said the bartender was super friendly and got our order correct. We s@at back where there were actual tables. The food came out very quick for it being later at night. I ordered the cowboy burger. The patty was more of a smash burger but the flavor was definitely there. I'm not sure what the BBQ sauce was on the burger but it complimented the bacon very well. The food was great, however the sheer volume on the speakers made it impossible to hear the person across from me. read more

Jack Browns is a staple restaurant for me and my husband to visit if there is one in the towns we are visiting. This one spot wasn't our favorite Jack browns but was still delicious of course! Star was deducted for rushed service, food was delicious as always. I always get the cobra Kai and my husband likes to try different things but this time settled on their special. The sweet potato fries were amazing and the special Jack Browns sauce is *chefs kiss.* We got good drinks and this jack browns had liquor, which just appreciated as a non beer drinker! We thought our waitress a little rushed and it was hard to place additional drink orders and felt rushed while she was at the table. She was friendly though I think just had a lot of tables! It was a hot day here and the area we were sitting in was pretty hot. No fans or anything circulating air but to be expected for a hot beach day. read more

We were looking for a good place for a late lunch with good reviews and good burgers. This place had a 4.6 average on Google with over 2,400 reviews. We know why now. They have the best burgers in OBX. They use Wagyu beef. Their fries are crinkle cut in such a way they come out extra crispy. We ordered the Elvis, the Cowboy, and the Cool Hand Luke burgers. All were excellent. We will be looking for these places when we travel in the areas they cover. But...when is JB's coming to Florida???? Soon, we hope. read more

Amazing burgers! This place is a tried and true favorite with a no frills menu of burgers. Everything comes out quick and there's a decent amount of space to sit and enjoy. read more

The Dr. Gonzo burger with sweet potato fries was AMAZING. The margarita was also a banger. The service was efficient despite it being busy during the evening. It was a fun and inviting atmosphere since it was also trivia night. Good vibes with good food! read more

Rating: (3.5 out of 5 stars) We wrap up our last day here in OBX after spending a couple of wonderful weeks. This place has always held a special spot in our hearts, and we come here all the time. Today was particularly surprising as we visited Jack Browns our usual restaurant. It was noticeably cleaner than usual, which was a pleasant surprise. The staff were very nice. Although the burgers were just okay - nothing to rave about - the overall experience was still delightful. As we prepare to leave, I find myself already missing OBX and the good fortune we've had here. This place offers such a unique and great experience, and we plan on always coming back. Take care, and looking forward to our next visit! read more
