After visiting the CA Poppy Reserve, we navigated to this quiet, unassuming roadside restaurant for a late lunch. Plenty of parking in their dirt lot and the charm of the place is both exterior and interior. BOY! When I walked in I immediately pinned this place as one that juuuust might have a good dessert. I'm always happy to be right. We were seated immediately and friendly service took drink orders and got us settled in. While the pizza looked good, the hand formed 5150 house-ground chuck burger is what I was interested in. Added some curly fries as an upgrade to my side and waited in eager anti-anti-antici-pa-pa-pation for our food. The burger was ok, lacked a bit of seasoning within the patty, but I'm starting to notice places not seasoning their patties. Maybe people are more sensitive to sodium in their diets, but I like a bit of garlic and herb in my burgers. The pretzel bun it was served on was much softer than I imagined it would be and was very good. The curly fries ween't worth the upsell, and even Hubs fries, like mine, had way too many tiny, crispy pieces to be thoroughly enjoyed. BUT...I was right about the dessert! COBBLER! I chose mixed berry and was treated to an amazing, hot-out-of-the-oven delight I had to wait to enjoy because it was SO FRESH and piping hot. The taste was a perfect tart, not too sweet, and the crumble top was perfect! It was served in an adorable cast iron skillet - the same it cooked in - on a plate and TWO spoons! lol Hubs was not having ANY of it. This bad boy was all mine! I would highly recommend their cobbler dessert! Next time, we might get there early enough for breakfast, or maybe try their pizza that looked so good. Whichever, I know the cobbler is sure to be a part of our next taste of Jack's. read more

Great place for brunch! We came here after a hike and were seated promptly. Very friendly service. Ample portions, frequent coffee refills, and tasty food. My omelette was really good and the coffee was fresh. This seems to be a very popular place with the locals and has a typical coffee shop/diner vibe. Huge parking lot with free parking. Wonderful place to catch up with friends and refuel. read more

Came here to grab a little late breakfast on vacation. Unlike other American diners I loved that Jack's Place serves breakfast until 2PM, so you can sleep in and still get your French toast fix! Outdoor seating was lovely. I brought my dog and in addition to being nice and shaded, they had fly fans on each table that were a nice touch. They have a little cornhole area right outside. The menu offers a lot of variety but I had a bit of a time finding something I could eat. It seemed like every other item included bacon or ham. The lunch menu had some more flexibility, but I really just wanted breakfast. I tried the French toast which was great, not too heavy or oily. It was stuffed with custard that was really good. The prices were fair IMO and I left happy. My only issue was the slow service. The place wasn't packed but I had a lot of trouble flagging my server down, which was a little annoying because I had places I needed to get to. I wasn't able to get a water refill either. read more

Found this place on Yelp. Wanted to take my Dad somewhere new. Staff were very friendly, food came out fast and was actually surprised by quantities. They had inside and outside seating and a fun area for corn hole. My husband liked the country fried steak and my son loved the breakfast sandwich! Excited to come back and try the lunch menu! read more

We unfortunately just missed breakfast. Too bad because the food looked good for breakfast. Service was great. I'm sorry I didn't catch our waitress's name. She had short blond hair and was really knowledgeable of the menu. It seems they change up their menu a bit here and there since I noticed the current menu looked different from the ones already posted on Yelp. I got the southwest turkey melt. It had a little kick and it was good, but for me had too much turkey. I think they could thin it down a little. It would even out the flavor overall. I was going to go with 4 stars since I thought my melt was good but not great. But I thought about it more and I have to say the excellent service had to bump the rating up. The fries were great. Made to perfection! One of the best I've had at restaurants. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and salted just right. Atmosphere was good. Restroom was really cute and felt extremely clean. read more

A great butt rest while motorcycling in this lovely valley. Great breakfasts. Nothing fancy but good food and good service.

The BEST burgers! And great fries to boot! We've had them many times so don't hesitate to try Jack's Place. Great service as well! read more

Jack's is a staple in our family. We've been dining at this place for years--even before it was Jack's. We've watched it change restaurants and ownership over time. I've been away for a few years, but now I'm back home visiting, and our family still dines here often. My dad loves the spicy fried chicken sandwich! Walking back into this place was a gem. The staff are incredibly kind, and their hospitality is a gift. For Easter, we picked up their famous peanut butter pie and flourless chocolate cake--both were excellent and exactly what our Easter brunch needed! This morning, we stopped in for breakfast, and everything was delicious and perfect. Thank you, Jack's! read more

Have been there for breakfast and service was good, fast and attentive server, food was good. This time we went there for diner and the food was great, service tho Katy R was not attentive and she had a little bit of an attitude. Unfortunate, maybe she was having a bad day. I am hoping that was it. Will see if we go back, maybe we will get a nicer server. read more

I had dinner here last night. I've been several times before and Jack's Place has become a favorite for me and my friends. Tonight I finally tried the pizza. It was great! I ordered the bbq chicken pizza and the crust was perfect! I really enjoyed it! I highly recommend the fish and chips, their soups of the day, and any of their daily specials. The desserts are superb as well, especially the peanut butter pie! To die for! Service is always good and consistent. The atmosphere is small town, cozy, and friendly. Jack's Place is well worth the drive if it's a little far for you. Trust me you won't be disappointed! read more

We had such a lovely breakfast here! We ordered eggs with sausage, and everything was cooked just right. My baby had the chocolate chip pancakes, and they made them extra special by adding a smiley face with whipped cream--such a sweet touch that made our morning. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was perfect whether you choose to sit inside or enjoy the nice outdoor seating. Definitely a spot we'd come back to! read more

The best pizza in the AV. The crust is chewy and delicious. I enjoy eating outside and the relaxing vibe. The breakfast is delicious as well. A little pricey but I always leave feeling like I had a good meal. read more

Excellent the staff is warm and friendly, and the food is even better! The atmosphere is great too!

Overpriced, horrible food. Chicken was like cardboard and the prices on the menu for food equivalent to teenage amateur cooks in the kitchen are ridiculous. Clearly the only reason this business stays afloat is because of the locals who frequent this establishment who inherently have very limited food options nearby and must overpay to enjoy a bit of small town social dining and drink the overpriced alcohol there, then subsequently drive home.....stay away. read more

Great spot, we will certainly be back soon. Not far from the Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve, the place has charm, style, and tasty food. We had the Chorizo Tostada Skillet and a Pretzel Burger, both beautifully prepared. Try the local Blonde Ale, super smooth. The wait staff were friendly. What's not to love? read more

Every year we go cherry picking in Leona Valley and finally after passing by this place for many times we decided to stop by for lunch. Indoor seating was ideal for us because it was a hot day but they also have tables outside. As a foodie from Lo Angeles that has over 1500 Yelp reviews I wasn't too sure if the food would be good here but I agreed to give it a try. To my surprise the burgers were amazing and the Reuben was one of the best I ever had. The only thing we didn't like was the fries. Very dry and overcooked no taste. Maybe it was a bad batch. The service stated slow and unfriendly but it got better once our waiter acknowledged us and took our order. He was friendly and attentive. This kind of service is expected from small town restaurants so I won't take any stars away from my review. The food was good, the ambiance was good and they serve great local beer from Lucky Luke Brewing... Overall a great experience and we will definitely come back next summer after our annual cherry picking. read more

Jack's is probably my favorite place in the AV. But not for breakfast last week. The sausage and eggs were fine, but the pancakes - which are a rare treat for me - were a huge disappointment. I could barely cut them with a fork, they were so tough and flat. Really? Where were the "fluffy pancakes" described on the menu? I regret not sending them back. read more

If you like a good wedge salad, then you should definitely order it here. Combination of the crisp iceberg lettuce with their homemade blue cheese dressing and the addition of a nice balsamic results in a fantastic tasty treat. Try it, you'll like it. One of my favorite things here. Mr. Picky ordered pizza and I have to make note of the fact that the crust had a wonderful taste to it, smelled good, too. My 5150 burger was really nice. Dessert, well, we couldn't make up our mind. So we ordered and shared the mixed berry cobbler, which came out piping hot and was a generous-sized serving. They had apple and peach options as well, and would have blended if we had wished it. I like the fat that they don't make the cobbler too sweet because then we shared it and I spring called a little bit of table sugar on it to get it to the perfect sweetness into my personal taste. Mr. Picky liked it quite a bit. Overall, this was a really good meal and we will definitely head back soon for some more. I would want to order another wedge salad... read more

I get a Corned Beef Reuben whenever or wherever I go for lunch. I consider myself a pro. Jack's was recommended and a friend and I went there for lunch. It was the best I have ever had. Jewish Deli's don't even compare. I live in Burbank and we are gathering a group to go back. (and may never leave) Oh...and the Peanut Butter Pie....lets just say it isn't on the WW menu. The service was top notch and everyone was friendly. Now I'm drooling. Looks like an adventure for this weekend. Thanks David!!!! Diane read more

Jack's is a always a great place to have a nice meal. This is a quiet Labor Day for us, so we decided on breakfast outside. Today I had the BLT with a side salad - the BLT is always delicious on sourdough with their garlic aioli. The side salad came home with me. Husband enjoyed his Tamara omelette - with feta, sun-dried tomato, avocado, and he added jalapeños. It's a beautiful setting and the service is always good. read more

I hate to update my review but the last couple of times I have been here the food has not been good. Had a recent breakfast with tasteless eggs, stale sourdough toast and over cooked hash browns. The price 23 dollars. It is so hard to find a decent breakfast place in the AV anymore. I either have to drive to Tehachapi or further up 138. read more

Been going to this location for 19 years before it was Jacks it was like a Yorgas HUGE portions RIP But this place is better country roots menu. And go here every year for over 10 years when Cherry season1 hits. To me is the Too Go place to visit. Never had a Bad meal here. This place makes a day trip more complete to relax an eat some really good food. Located on a side road on a dirt lot in downtown Leona. sic. Enjoy read more

We came here for the first time today and experienced a very nice lunch. There weren't that many people in the restaurant, so we had plenty of time to look over all of the delicious options on the menu. I went with a simple chicken Cobb salad and it was made with fresh ingredients. Very tasty! Everyone else at our table practically licked their plates clean. It's difficult to find good restaurants in isolated or rural areas such as Leona Valley, but this place is definitely a hit. We'll be back for dinner one of these days! read more

I was really looking forward to breakfast with my blushing bride at Jack's Place. The ride was long and scenic. A great start! I can honestly say that this was a great experience from beginning to end. The greeting and all service was very kind. The menu offers many yummy options. My blushing bride had an omelette with Jack's potato's and toast. She raved about it all, declaring it the best breakfast I've ever bought her. All these years of trying... I finally succeeded! I had the country-fried steak, hash browns, eggs over easy, and they come with biscuit and gravy. A lot of food! Let me air a gripe first: my steak was cut up for me. It was either like being fed as a child or eating leftovers. Now let me sing praises: the steak was great, as were all of the other tasty delights. This is the real deal, not anything like what other places serve. This was real steak, pounded thin, breaded in a tasty breading and not overly salty. It tasted like steak that was country fried. The gravy was rich and tasty. I enjoyed it all and can't wait to try other menu items. read more

My wife and I were in the area for the Leona Divide trail run - and ate at Jack's Place twice for dinner. Badge burger and fries/onion rings with IPAs on one night (after the race) and Pesto pasta and Greek salad with Zinfandel wine on the 2nd night. Both meals were excellent - service was perfect - fun to sit and chat with some locals. Highly recommend if you are in the area! read more
