It's a good place to grab a burger to support local business. The food isn't over the top, and neither is the atmosphere. I got a little peeved when I went in the middle of the afternoon to find they close for a couple hours between meal services. read more

We've eaten at Jack's several times now and their burgers do not disappoint! My faves are the BBQ Crunch & the On the Cobb, both are delicious flavour combinations. I would give them 5 stars if it weren't for my attempt at their Jack'd Up fries... I guess I should have read the menu more closely because I was totally grossed out by the plastic cheese slice melted on top of my fries. The Jack sauce is awesome but skip the fake cheese! It's always been busy when we've visited and seating is limited so don't be surprised if you have to order to-go and take your food elsewhere. read more

Our little Jack's fan loved his Grill'd Cheese and fries. My wife and I had the BBQ Crunch burgers which were delicious. Nothing beats putting potato chips on a burger. The fries were great. The price was reasonable. We would come here again when in St. Albert. read more

Jack's Burger Shack - Max enjoying a Grill'd Cheese at Jack's Burger Shack! - Burgers Near Me - St Albert, Alberta

The best burgers in St. Albert or possibly Edmonton, and the milkshakes are amazing - the Nutella shake is my favorite!

Would I eat here again? Probably not. Am I glad I tried it? Absolutely. The first time I came here was with my girlfriend at her recommendation as she had heard positive reviews, in particular concerning the milkshakes. So we had gone to explore St. Albert and have some milkshakes. Yesterday was our first time eating there - our fridge was empty and work ran late so we were looking to eat out. I was underwhelmed by the food. I ordered the veggie option, the Brontosaurus, described as a chickpea and blue cheese patty served with lettuce and jack sauce. That's definitely what I got and although it wasn't as expensive as your typically burger, at $9, I don't think this burger was worth more than $6. The patty itself was nothing special and the bun was so cheap; I get better quality buying the cheap stuff at the supermarket. I was surprised at the lettuce and how it exactly tastes like that of McDonald's. The jack sauce didn't make any difference other than to spill off my burger and onto my hands as I ate. To compliment our burgers we shared a side of jack'd up fries. At the first few bites we were pleasantly surprised but after awhile we became displeased. The amount of jack sauce was nice considering how many places these days are stingy with their toppings but the taste began to be bothersome after awhile. The fries themselves were just a tad below average and the menu stated there is cheese on the fries but I could only find two small curds amongst the swamp of jack sauce and onions. I'm happy I tried the food after seeing all the good reviews, but I should have just stuck to the milkshake. read more

What's not to love about jacks. The meat is pressed and excellent. But the buns they use are supiorer. Can be a bit of a wait during the rush but it's worth it and they are always getting better. On the vegan side it's a pleaser. Their meatless burger is easily one of the best in Edmonton and surrounding area. The fries are excellent but jacked up fries was better to share than go it alone. read more

It's about time St Albert gets a decent place to eat. Jack's is a really casual little place, great for the family or great for a first date.... its very clean, neat and tidy and the staff are really friendly. The menu is fantastic, not massive but very creative with ingredients. Milkshakes are to die for .... Price is great and really affordable for everyone. The line up can sometimes mean a little wait, but honestly its worth it. read more

this place I can go on and on about. I always have the one with peanut butter. and the pontine is also fantastic. I'm not a burger person at all but these ones are to die for! so good. best burger I've ever had! read more

Pros: Unique burger combinations "Jack Sauce" is great on fries Great home style taste All-around delicious food Great outdoor seating area; fantastic in the summer but ok for winter too (if you can tolerate the snow & cold weather) Cons: Popular place = busy place Pricey for burgers Patties can be on the thin side, but there's a "double the meat" option read more

The food is okay, the fries have never been fresh every time I've been there though. It's always a super long wait, it's nice that they cook everything (except the fries) fresh but even when it's not busy it takes forever. Most of the staff I've encountered are not friendly at all. read more

I love the shroom burger. Lots of delicious mushrooms. It's always a treat eating here.

Food is great but why do they always run out by 7:00 on Friday or Saturday?? This is way too disappointing.. we don't even try anymore to get in. Burgers melt in your mouth, shakes are tasty .. fries are just fries in my opinion... but those burgers .. read more

Got the regular basic burger with cheese. The burger patties were extremely thin and so the edges were burnt. The bun was also very thin. Maybe it's just the style of burger but I prefer the patty thicker and moist. It was quick service though read more

See all

Some very interesting and flavor packed burger options, although I find them a little soggy most times I've had one. Keep the napkins close by!! Great fries, and AMAZING milkshakes! read more

Awesome Burgers, fast service, get there before they close at 8pm or they run out of buns first

Love how fresh your burgers are , milkshakes are to die for I also love the aioli you can't find this any where else in at Albert read more

The chickpea patty was incredible! I never typically enjoy anything with chickpeas but it was outstanding and they let me sub the patty on whichever burger I wanted. The fries are also fantastic. It was busy on Canada Day but the service was fast and friendly. read more

Drove out to Jack's today to try their famous crunch burger. I live in Sherwood Park, so it's a bit of a hike out to St. Albert for lunch, but today we loaded up the family for a pilgrimage for what some say is the best burger in the city. When we got there, there was lots of free street parking and the patio was perfectly half in the sun (for us) and half in the shade (for the kids) even while sitting at 1 table together. After staring at the menu for 5 minutes, my suspicions were correct, the crunch burger was what I wanted. My wife ordered the same thing, while we got my son a $4 kids meal with grilled cheese and fries with milk. The crunch burger was surprisingly small.... truth be told I have a pet peeve against burgers that are stacked taller than a persons mouth (even when squished). This burger was the perfect height. My favourite part of the burger was that every bite was the same. The distribution of ingredients was perfect. I have put chips on burgers at home, but have never ordered it at a restaurant. The surprising thing for me was how few chips you actually need to add in order to get the desired crunch. For our fries I asked the girl behind the counter if the "jacked up fries" were any good.... she said she had never tried them. How can you work at a place with 3 types of fries on the menu and now even had 1 bite of all 3? I opted to skip em because it was weird that not even she wanted to try them. We opted for 1 side of fries and 1 side of poutine. The poutine was great, but to be honest, the fries were what made it good... you didn't need the gravy and cheese. They are cooked perfectly, so there is no need to pay extra for the poutine, just stick to the fries if you go. The grilled cheese we ordered for my son was cooked on a panini press, not a flat top, so it had deep grill marks in it. My son took 1 bite and wasn't interested because the grill makes make the bread feel more like crust than fried bread (what kid likes crust)... luckily for us he liked the fries, so he filled up on those. Overall a fantastic experience, I can't wait to go back. read more

Just alright for me. I know people rave about jack's but I am middle of the road for a recommendation... I wouldn't not, not recommend but it isn't where I head to first. Very cool choices/creative burger menu, but limited seating and that is a turn off for me. Service is just ok for me too. read more

SO good. best burgers! such a fun environment with fresh ingredients and incredible milkshakes. i love all the gluten free options. it's a must try! read more

This is a hidden gem and we have been a few times. First the good points...fresh ground beef, fresh baked soft buns and a great choice of burgers...the burgers are listed with the topping so if you like to build your own you may not like this place...if you like different toppings and unique combos you should be very happy! Choices range from the $7 regular type burger, to ones with flair like the $8 Inferno - w/ jalapeños, cheese + banana pepper marmalade...$9 Quebecer - w/ fries, cheese curds, gravy + buttermilk ranch, (yes this is fries on the burger not on the side)...$9 BBQ Crunch - w/ bacon, cheese, potato chips + orange soda BBQ sauce...$8 All Shook Up - Beef, bacon + peanut butter, Elvis would be happy with this one! They even have gluten free, food for the young ones, floats, and $5 16oz shakes.The shake flavors are not common, l had the Cap'n Crunch with Nutella, this tasted like a Ferrero Rocher, it even had some Cap'n Crunch sprinkled on the top, brings back childhood memories. The down side is this place is small and busy, every time we go we have a bit of a wait...we went last night and got there just before the rush, when we got our food the wait was about 30 min out the door. Because of the small size of the place and the fresh meat they sometimes run out of burgers! Once we got the last 2 burgers they had. They have outdoor seats now too so it gives a place to sit, kick back, relax and wait for your food. If you are not in a hurry and want to order and then go for a walk its downtown so you can take a stroll in the heart of St. Albert. The staff are great and bring the food to your table after you order. Well worth the wait and a nice place to chill at. Will we go back, you bet, l have other shake flavors to try. Enjoy!

Jack's rocks like no other burger place. Working just up the street makes it my main go to when I'm hungry and pressed for time. I would give it 6 stars if I could. read more

No doubt one of the better burger places to eat at in St. Albert. The burgers have a homemade feel to them and the fries are crispy, golden brown, and delightful. The restaurant also boasts an impressive selection of milkshakes. read more

Best burger I have ever had. This place never disappoints and the service is great. Lots of choice for the adventurous but the BBQ crunch is my favourite read more

I am still have taste flashbacks (in a bad way) to the brontosaurus burger. The chickpea burger tasted raw, and it was absolutely smothered in white sauce. The first bite toward the edge where it was likely more cooked had some promise, but it went downhill from there. On the plus side, they gave me my money back, and my two meat eating dining companions thought their burgers were good. read more

It was a bad experience with Jack's burger as they were very rude. I went with my kids to eat there and ordered food to stay and sat outside waiting for the food. My 10 years old son was very hungry and start to eat a little bit of his sandwich that was from another place till we get ours. A guy came from inside and stand in the middle of every body said rudely that my son can not eat here. My daughter told him that we ordered food from you and we are waiting for it , he said it doesn't matter he can not eat his sandwich at the table. We said okay politely and asked them to pack the food to go and we told them we were unpleased but the owner was not concerned, a guy nearby also commented on how rude the owner was and said that they should change the name to jerk's burger shack. read more

Went to Jacks today in st albert.Got the shroom burger and the peanut butter one.The shroom burger was really good but wheres the beef.The meat was so little its hard to call it a burger.The peanut burger wasnt that good.really dry.Over all I would try this place again with double patty next time and a different burger read more

Great burgers here. Really like the small diner feel. But now that the secret is out, time to expand and get a second flat top for quicker turnaround. Because 30 minutes to wait for a burger might be pushing it. The meat tastes fresh and has great ( as Guy Fieri would put it ) "crustification"...that is why I usually do 2 patties in my burgers. When I do, definitely do not need fries. All good so far : cobb ( blue cheese sauce ), bbq crunch ( chips & orange soda bbq sauce ), shroom ( boursin sauce ). Buns are fresh & soft. Good meat & good buns, sounds like food porn. read more

So delicious! I love their Boursin cheeseburger! Very friendly staff and we enjoy the outdoor patio space in the summer.

Yum yum yum! Always so good and everything on the menu is on my try list! Most imaginative menu I have seen ever, and delicious too! :) Thanks Jacks Burger Shack! read more

Fantastic burgers!! The Inferno burger with an order of "Jacked Up Fries" is a great treat on a summer afternoon. Outdoor seating when the weather is nice is a huge plus. Interior seating is a bit cramped, and you may have to share a table or wait for a spot to open up. The atmosphere is pretty simple, but it works. Jack's Burger Shack is well worth visiting. read more

Oh my god, these are the BEST burgers ever!!!!!!! I cannot wait to go back here and eat again. I had the chick pea burger and it was amazing and my husband had one of the meat burgers in between the grilled cheese sandwiches which is said was delicious. Seriously just thinking about it I want to go and order it now! read more

Awesome homemade burgers! Great frys made with fresh potatoes from Washington State. Definitely coming back!!

I love myself a tasty burger, and that's exactly what you'll find here! My only regret is that I live on the south side of Edmonton, meaning I'll miss out on many of the "daily burger" specials. Oh - fries were also superb! read more

Legitimately the best hamburger I've ever had! The bun did get a little soggy and messy but over all the quality of the meat was perfect. I got the standard burger with LTO and Jack Sauce and the guests I came with got the Barbecue Crunch burger. All of us were very satisfied. The poutine was similarly excellent. I'd recommend this place to anybody visiting St Albert! Reasonable prices as well! read more

Friendly place with good burgers. Try the chickpea patty! It's casual here and in th summer they've got a tiny bit of outdoor seating as well read more

Best burgers around! They have some awesomely unique daily specials, along with my faves: All Shook Up, The Hangover, and BBQ Crunch. My husband loves The Quebecer....it's got poutine right on the burger! Don't forget to order the Cap'n Crunch shake! read more

Bun was stale. Asked for on my fries. Put on a slice of cheese on top and put it in the microwave . Will never go back

These are probably the best burgers i have ever tried in my life no joke i keep bringing people here and no one believes me till they take that first bite and you can see the look of complete SATISFACTION in there eyes! So far ive tried the Shroom, BBQ Crunch, Inferno, and Hangover honestly each burger is amazing in its own way i have yet to eat a burger there that i regretted and im a very critical person when it comes to food. The only negative i got on this place is the fries.. pretty gross i would do a complete overhaul on those, they were thin, stringy and kind of soggy also tried a creamsicle shake once and it was really runny i prefer my shakes a little thicker!! But this review is for the BURGERS and for that i give a solid 10/10!! read more

Jack's Burger Shack - Hangover - Burgers Near Me - St Albert, Alberta

Been here a couple times now. Odd how I missed this originally being it is down town St.Albert...but I did. My wife had it recommended and the disruption dounded great. Loved the many choices, and the local sourcing. My only complaint, and it is minor... It is smallish, and not exactly comfortable seating. I can deal though, just to wrap my pie hole around those burgers! read more
