Highly recommend this hidden gem right off I-90! Stopped at Jack's Barcelona Drive In for lunch and it was a fantastic find. It's just a quick exit off I-90 and practically on the lake -- super convenient whether you're heading to Niagara Falls or traveling back toward Pennsylvania or Ohio. The food was excellent and you can really taste the care they put into it. They source as locally as possible, with their perch and other fresh fish coming straight from the fish market across the street. I had a hand-patted juicy beef burger topped with their homemade chili -- delicious. The curly fries are made in-house: they take a whole potato, spiralize it on the spot, and fry it fresh. They were outstanding! The owner also makes all the pies in-house, and everything we tried was super fresh. Prices were fair for the area, the service was genuinely friendly, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the welcoming atmosphere. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop here -- you won't be disappointed! read more

Delicious fresh perch sandwiches! Is very rustic, don't expect much in the way of ambiance, but this place is a great little lakeside restaurant with good fish! read more

It's so awesome to experience a drive in. I haven't been to one in decades!!! The food is good. Music is always playing! I had a great time and so did all of my friends read more

Great food. Great service. Chill vibe. Pie? Yes please. Burgers? Yum! Staff is welcoming even to an out of towner.

Traveling back from our Canadian trip, we stumbled upon this little gem tucked away off the main road. It's a true one-person operation--the owner is the hostess, cook, and waitress--and she does it all exceptionally well. The food is excellent, cooked to order, and very reasonably priced. Add in the eclectic, crafty surroundings, and it makes for a warm, memorable stop that's well worth seeking out. read more

Food is consistintly very good, service is exceptional. Fish very fresh and well prepared. Great homemade soups and pies/deserts. Outside dinning weather permitting. read more

Fresh perch can't be beat. Fishery right across the road. If a restaurant says they have fresh perch ask them where the boat is. You can see the boat from Jacks. read more

Great hidden gem for good eats, friendly hospitality and laidback (family) comfort for all‼

We decided to stop for lunch in this little lakeside town on our way to Buffalo recently. Jack's Drive-In was cozy inside with very friendly service and a nice selection of lunch items. The cheeseburger was delicious and the coconut cream pie was a nice treat, both very reasonably priced. My partner enjoyed the meatball sub which was a little more expensive. The location was great, across the street from a beach, with lots of old boats to admire, and close to a historic lighthouse. Great place to stop. read more

Omgosh this place is yummy. Had the taco salad and made from scratch coconut cream pie. It was the best coconut cream pie I've ever had and I don't particularly like coconut cream pie read more

Omelets were ok, could of been better. Toast was close to the burnt side. Daughter's steak and eggs were good. No great drink options..... very basic to be as pricey as they are. However, it is right on the lake..... read more

Jack's Barcelona Drive-In - Italian Near Me - Westfield, New York

I live in florida, but craving their pie right about now. A staple to Westfield, best little breakfast joint around

The service was excellent - they make you feel like family. Right now space is the biggest issue, until good weather comes where you can eat outside - there is extremely limited space. The food and price were both great and there is plenty of free parking and it's right by the lake - so it's automatically a nice scene. I'd return to try more of their food - I had the chicken and biscuit special and it was what I expected, celery was a bit undercooked, but crunchy veggies are always good for you! read more

Food was standard per cafe, wife and I both got omelettes they were good but standard fair, toast was a bit over done. Daughter got the steak and eggs steak was think but very good she says. Service was quick and very friendly, ambiance is very locale and alot of lake goods and xmas decorations read more

Outstanding service food and staff. When you come here to dine you will be 100% satisfied. Food always fresh and hot. Excellent specials. During the warmer months the patio here is a must! One of our most favorite spots in Western New York for breakfast. Worth the drive to Jack's for sure! read more

This place was a great discovery for 2 weary travelers. A short detour off of the highway and you find a slice of relaxation with quaint ambiance and a welcoming staff. The food is truly homemade and very fresh. Portions were appropriate. Be sure to save room for dessert. The homemade pies are beyond delicious. Be sure to take a stroll along the beach a hundred yards away. If your hungry for a meal or just want dessert this is the place for you. I guarantee you'll be met with a smile and leave well fed. read more

Better check their hours. Drove half hr to get there yesterday and at 2 minutes after 2 he wouldn't serve us. Bummer.

Nice friendly place food was very good. Definitely worth returning to especially when the weather is warm and you can enjoy the cute patio

Nice little diner in Barcelona...burgers, sandwiches, soups, desserts, etc..good food, clean environment..

Located just yards away from the Lake Erie shore, Jack's Barcelona Drive-In is a very casual family restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, dine-in or takeout. The dining room is cozy and comfortable with counter seating and table seating and plenty of pictures on the walls. There's also outside patio seating, perfect on nice weather days with a good view of Lake Erie. After enjoying the nice breeze blowing off the Lake, I walked over to "Jack's" for a quick "snack" (this rhymes!) I strolled inside and was warmly greeted by the staff. I looked over the menu offerings, which sounded pretty good and included appetizers, salads, soups, sandwiches, burgers, seafood, steaks, chicken, Italian dinners, and desserts at reasonable prices. They also offer free Concord grape juice with your meal. Now I wished I hadn't eaten lunch just an hour earlier. I needed something sweet and refreshing and decided on a cup of Vanilla Ice Cream topped with fresh Concord Grape Sauce (just under $2 with tax). The vanilla ice cream was a bit frozen and hard (alright!), but the Concord Grape Sauce was a fantastic topping with a nice zingy (slightly tart) taste, a very refreshing treat on a nice summer day. That hit the spot! Next time I'm in the area, I'll have to order a full meal with a glass of Concord grape juice. WEBSITE: http://www.jacksbarcelonadrivein.com read more

Jack's is just a little smallish restaurant and certainly nothing fancy. It serves a breakfast, lunch and dinner. My favorites are their fresh Lake Erie perch (yes, it really is fresh) and their home made chili. They also serve up a really good sirloin patty with grilled mushrooms on the menu as "Big Beth." The winters in this area can be brutal and the hill leading down to Jack's can get really slippery. However, in the summer they have a nice patio and you can feel the cool breezes coming in off of the lake. It's also just plain nice to spend some quality time down near the lake front practically across from the smoke house where you can smell the smoke when they are smoking the white fish. read more

Jack's Barcelona Drive-In - Italian Near Me - Westfield, New York

Basic service 101 = silverware, napkins, drinks, straws, and a server with basic knowledge of what is served at the restaurant. Jack's gets a zero out of 10. We asked if the salmon burger contained bread crumbs, as a member of our party has a bad allergy. The waitress replied, "I don't know." We kindly asked, "could you please find out?" She then sighed and said, "I guess." When she finally returned to take our order, 15 mins later, We asked if she had an answer and she replied, "I didn't ask." Needless to say, our Jaws hit the floor and we simply ordered something else in order to avoid having to rely on her for any basic menu knowledge. The waitress brought our food out, 45 mins later, and each order was missing either a sauce, a side, or was under cooked. She served one of us chicken salad (They had ordered egg salad) and, when we asked if it was egg salad, she said "yes". We asked if she was sure and she replied, "we don't serve egg salad". They do. 15 mins later, a 1/2 serving of egg salad appeared with undercooked fries and a warm glass of tap water with no ice. To say that we were disappointed, would be a massive understatement. Please don't waste your time or money here. We won't make that mistake again. Jack's, please train your staff with basic knowledge of what your menu contains, basic serving skills, and basic food knowledge. read more

Service was fine. Place was dumpy. Food at best average. Won't be revisiting. My shrimp was greasy and batter not good tasted like same batter onion rings were cooked. My roasted vegetables turned out to be onion, peppers, and mushrooms- probably left over from breakfast. read more

Sat outside on the patio with my dog. I had the grilled 3-cheese sandwich with tomato basil soup YUM! Enjoyed a Five & 20 Stout with my lunch, and finished off with a delicious piece of English toffee pie. David (our server) was friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. I will definitely be back!! read more

Nice location with great outdoor seating area and are dog friendly. Staff were good. Had the bacon cheeseburger and found it to be average but skimpy on the bacon with two very small pieces. I did enjoy the fries. Found it to be on the pricey side for what you get. I would go back and try something else on the menu. read more

Jack's Barcelona Drive-In - Bacon Cheeseburger with fries - Italian Near Me - Westfield, New York

My sister and I were there for breakfast this morning. I had three buttermilk pancakes and a patty sausage. The pancakes were delicious! So was the sausage. read more

We went there on a sleepy Saturday afternoon. It was a little confusing on whether they were open or not and how to even order. Due to covid they had zero inside seating. They also would not let us use the restrooms 'due to covid'. The outside space was ok however there were a plethora of bees that they tried to appease by keeping opened jelly pats along the fence. Better that than flying on me I suppose. They did not offer menus, rather you stood and looked at the tiny menu they had posted in the window. Their choices were not the best. Food was ok and a bit pricey for what you got. The chicken parm sandwich was nothing special. Just a chicken finger with some sub par canned sauce and half melted cheese on a bun. Fries were good. The staff was friendly but not very attentive. The view of Lake Erie that others speak of is nothing special. You have to look down the street and through the boat launch to see about 10 feet of lake. This is not a lake side with a nice view establishment. They do have some really nice art inside I recommend looking at (purchasing). read more

Has it all!! Nice folks good food great service and prices. Try the perch. Jack fries solid read more

This place was awesome!!! Great service, location, food and food portions! We were driving west on I-90 and needed a lunch stop. We will definitely come back the next time we pass through! We had the Philly Steak Burger, Taco Salad, Patio Salad, BBQ burger, chili and curly fries! Sooooo good! read more

My partner's family has spent summers in Westfield for decades, and they tell me Jack's has been open as long as they remember. That's certainly the feel you get when you walk into the place -- the walls are covered with old school photos and decor, and the menu offers inexpensive, no frills diner-type meals. Pay close attention and you'll notice many of the people who visit are regulars, on a first-name basis with the servers. I've only ever visited for lunch, and almost always get the fresh perch sandwich (if it's available). In my humble opinion, it is the best thing on the menu. Friends tell me the egg sandwich (Jackwich, I believe they call it) is also good. I've ordered a few of the salads, which were all solid. If you go this route, you absolutely must try the grape vinaigrette. Outside the regular menu, they also offer daily fish and other specials on the board behind the counter. Jack's also has an excellent selection of local bottled beers, which they serve in frosted mugs. I notice some complaints about service, and they are not entirely off the mark. In my experience, the tables inside are more quickly served than the tables outside. Perhaps something to consider if you're looking for a quick meal rather than a relaxing meal looking out at Lake Erie. The outdoor patio is rather nice. For tourists stopping through, there's a small gift shop at the register with postcards, mugs, hats, etc. Jack's usually also has a copy of the Westfield Republican on hand if you want to get a sense of local happenings. read more

I travel a lot between the east coast and Michigan and always plan my trips so I can have a meal at Jack's Barcelona Drive-in. I like quality food and Julie and her staff know how to make it and serve it up right! I dragged my husband there and I think he thought it was just another small town restaurant...he's a hard-sell and I kept saying just wait...when the food came out...Bingo! He was impressed! But then I insisted we get peach pie to go. The next morning, coffee and pie...Julie's Pie was maybe a tiny bit better than mine (I hate bad pie!) Wonderful place! read more

We almost didn't stop because to be honest it doesn't look like much from the street. But- the food was excellent! We had burgers- yummy! Fast friendly service- and the outdoor seating ended up being cute as well. Nice proximity to the beach. So glad we ended up stopping there and giving it a try! read more

This cute little spot by the water is fantastic. We sat outside with our dog for breakfast, and it was tasty. I had the biscuits and gravy with some of the best sausage gravy I've ever had. My boyfriend got a bacon and cheese omelet. The staff was so friendly and helpful, and were wearing masks. If you're in town, I recommend you stop in! read more

Great service Great Atmosphere Great food Deck Seating. View of Lake Erie This is a Gem of a place in this town. Well Worth the .95 cent Ezpass toll on exit 60 west I-90 read more

We were passing through on way to Vermont and spent a couple days in Westfield, this is a great little restaurant and the fresh perch was delicious. My wife ordered the homemade lasagna and it is the best we have ever had in a restaurant, all from scratch. read more

Jack's is a great little spot right off the highway that's perfect for hanging out at outside in the summertime. They are dog friendly folks. In the winter time the inside atmosphere is cozy and their breakfast will warm you right up. read more

The service is disgusting. I have tried to like this place for the food but I just CANNOT deal with the ambiance and the service of this diner. My first time there I had a waitress who is blond with short short hair almost like a buzzcut serve me. At first she was very nice but throughout the night neglected me as long as other clientele to goof off with other "customers" and talking about indecent sexual things out loud indoors. The second time I went hoping it would be a better experience, but left the same way. Again the same server was waiting on my table. I went inside telling me that I could go outdoors, but was not given service until I went back inside to ask for assistance. Though the restaurant was not at all busy, my drinks (two pepsis) took about thirty minutes to arrive at my table. Once again for liking the food I went at a different time hoping to get someone new. I went a bit later when I called ahead to ask what time they closed they said at 8. I went in at 7:20 and was told that they could no longer service me as the kitchen was already all turned off. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE read more

Amazing food for a great price. Only found this place because we were hungry and the only food place around. It's tucked away at the waters edge. I had an amazing salmon burger. It was so good I still think about it! The fiance had steak and eggs. I didn't know steak could taste that good. Stop on by. Slow down and enjoy the scenery and the great food. Talk to a few people inside. Just a great way to relax. Food was amazing. read more

Love Jacks!! Breakfast all day is a big plus. The food is great and the staff is even better. If your traveling West on I90 it is worth getting off at the Westfield exit. Also you can view Lake Erie which is across the street. read more

My wife and I saw this place and looked on Yelp and it had decent reviews so we tried it. She got their burger, the Big Beth, and it was good. Basic bun but mushrooms and onions were good. Their French fries were a curly fry that were small but good. I ordered the fresh perch sandwhich. It tasted great but bun was just a basic bun that got soggy as I are it because of the freshness of the fish. Great food...cheap diner...tight seating...just us and another table of 2. Staff was kind and explained specials an highlights on menu. We'll be back again. read more
