Stopped in on a Saturday night to catch Silent Trees, and wow -- the place was buzzing. Packed wall to wall with a lively 40-50+ crowd that clearly knows how to have a good time. You could feel the energy as soon as you walked in. The bartenders were definitely in the weeds most of the night, but you'd never know it from their attitude -- still friendly, still smiling, and somehow making me feel like I'd been coming there for years (first visit, by the way). Grabbed a veggie pizza (solid choice), a cold beer, and settled in for a couple of hours of great local music and that perfect "this is exactly where I'm supposed to be tonight" vibe. If this is what a random Saturday looks like here, I'll be back. read more

True Score: 3.5 Stars Interesting spot, nice owner. True Score: 3.75 Stars My wife and I stopped by for dinner and catch the start of the live band The Restaurant opens at 4pm and we got there at 7:15. The staff were friendly and the service was decent. The food was okay but not outstanding. The lobster risotto contained very little lobster and was extremely salty. The pizza was pretty good, roni with burnt edges. However the lobster risotto ($25) and clam chowder ($8) were too pricey for the just okay quality of the food. The staff were very nice and I wish I could give it a higher rating, but the food quality just wasn't where it should be for the prices. Nice touch with the live band, pretty good and we think we met Jack himself. He was a great guy. We would definitely go back. Thanks read more

Jack's Restaurant & Bar - Delicious pizza with tomato and basil. - Bars Near Me - Falmouth, Massachusetts

We ended up at Jack's recently for dinner with our in-laws, since they are vacationing "down the cape" this week. It was a Saturday night so they were busy, but we were able to get a table pretty fast. The menu is fine - standard fare. Some burgers, pasta, some seafood... nothing too out of the ordinary, but something for everyone. The food came out fast and the portion sizes were generous, but the food itself was nothing special overall. I got the fish and chips because it's one of my all time favorite dishes, and it wasn't that great. The batter was bland, not very crispy, and the fries were also kind of meh. I tried some of my mother in law's chicken broccoli alfredo, and it was fine, but was swimming in sauce. It almost looked like soup. The one thing we got that blew my mind was the spinach artichoke dip... ORDER THIS. It will look like it has too much cheese on it, but it doesn't. It's awesome. I wish I had just ordered and eaten that on its own, rather than ordering it "for the table." It was delectable. read more

Delicious Pizza, salad, cocktails and bar service! Love this place! Go there at least every other week. Highly recommend

We enjoyed Jack's pepperoni pizza. The place has a local, friendly vibe. Easy pick-up for ordering to go.

Review: Jack's Restaurant and Bar - A Tale of Two Temperatures ​If you're looking for a spot in Falmouth where the vibes are high but the Celsius is... conservative, Jack's Restaurant and Bar is your destination. ​I went in with high hopes and a healthy appetite. Here's the breakdown of our culinary "Goldilocks" experience--except nothing was actually hot. ​The Order ​The Boneless Ribeye: This steak was seasoned to perfection and tender enough to make a grown man cry. It had the soul of a five-star meal, but the temperature of a brisk October morning on Old Silver Beach. I'm convinced the chef cooked it beautifully and then gave it a pep talk in a room-temperature hallway for ten minutes before sending it out. ​The Scallops: My companion's scallops were seared wonderfully. They looked like little pillows of heaven. Unfortunately, they were also roughly the same temperature as actual pillows. Delicious? Yes. Did they require a scarf? Possibly. ​The "Lukewarm" Mystery ​It's honestly an impressive feat of physics. To have a crust that crisp on a ribeye and a sear that golden on a scallop, yet have both arrive with the thermal energy of a glass of tap water, defies the laws of thermodynamics. ​Pro Tip: If you're the type of person who always burns their tongue on the first bite, Jack's is your safe haven. You can dive in with the reckless abandon of a seagull hitting a discarded fry. ​The Verdict ​The food at Jack's is legitimately tasty. The flavors are 10/10, the bar scene is lively, and the service is friendly. We didn't even send it back because, frankly, we were too busy enjoying the flavor to care about the lack of steam. It's the only place I've been where the "warm" welcome applies to the steak, too. ​Final Score: (Four stars--would have been five, but I had to check my ribeye for a pulse to see if it was hibernating.) read more

This is my second time going to Jack's. The pizza is very good - South Shore bar style. The crust is flaky and crispy. The sauce and cheese ratio is good, but I personally prefer a teeny bit more sauce. I had a green pepper and the other diner had a linguica. Apparently, the linguica used to be ground, but now is sliced, so that was a bit disappointing. The young lady who served us was attentive and very pleasant. The ONLY thing I could say is that the ambiance, though acceptable, needs to be updated. The rugs give off a slightly musty smell, the windows were downright dirty, and the furniture is very outdated. This place has been around for a very long time and they have a solid older clientele, but they have real potential to reach and keep a new level of customers that could see them through the next generation. Their food and location are huge plusses, but the actual space needs a good cleaning and refresh. read more

Everything was delicious! Boneless Delmonico, burger special, chicken rice bowl... all really good. And the waitstaff was wonderful.

Was so disappointed when we ate at Jack's a few weeks ago. Dying to try the pizza based on Dave Portnoy's review and we were less than impressed. Will try again during peak season to see if it was just the night we tried read more

The chicken parm and pizza are our favorites. The cocktails are plentiful and served by a wonderful staff. Jack is a great guy! You may even be luck enough to catch him sing a tune or two when there is entertainment. Always a great time! read more

First time at Jacks and I don't know why I didn't come here sooner. It was date night and my partner knows I like options, so Jacks was the spot. There are plenty items on the menu. We started with the Mediterranean sampler then had the Hatch Mac and ended with the Katarina salad with salmon. OMG it was ALL so good. The best part was our waiter Mac who was friendly, attentive, and gave personal recommendations. Can't wait to come back. read more

I came to Jack's with family and loved the food and the vibes. We had stuffed quahogs as appetizers and I had the chicken piccata as my main. The quahog was tasty but the pasta was the star IMO. The chicken was tender and flavorful, while the sauce was savory with just the right amount of tartness. My family got the pizzas and loved what they got. The drinks here are also strong and delicious. Overall a great spot for get-togethers! read more

Maybe in the offseason Walk in on a Friday night in-season. We're local, we know it's a holiday weekend, we expected to wait. Hostess surprisingly said she had a table available for our party right away. Great! She walks us back and asks us to wait near the table while they clear from a party that just finished. While we are waiting happily and patiently a server storms back to us and starts demanding to know if we put our names down and why we were waiting for this table. We answer that we did see the hostess and were offered the table and were waiting where she told us. Server goes back to hostess stand has a discussion, then comes back and just short of yelling, tells us that there was another party our size ahead of us. I watch the party walk in (after us) and she gives them the table despite us having been brought back to be seated. That's embarrassing for us aside from the server being rude about it. My wife and I are both former bartenders and servers. We are friendly with Staff and do not expect subservience or perfection, but this server was dismissive and borderline hostile. I suspect she was also hostile with the hostess, because when the hostess returned she was no longer friendly, was uncomfortable and didn't communicate well. Between the two of them we felt like the place was just too busy to handle our business so we left feeling completely unwelcome. Again, I've been sweating in the service well with the bar 4 deep in a tourist town. I get it. The job is hard and when things break down it's frustrating, but something went wrong here that didn't sit well. Someone should have been concerned with making us continue to feel welcome, even if there was a miscommunication between the staff. Instead, we left feeling like it was taken out on us. read more

This place used to be decent but has been going downhill consistently. Uncooked pizza that looks like a 3 year old made.. never again. Paul's pizza will always be better. read more

The food was good but the service was even better. Our server, Kingsley, was super friendly and attentive. It was refreshing to see someone so young take pride in their work. Don't let the outside deceive you - it feels very spacious inside. Guests can eat at the bar or at tables. I would highly recommend the crabcake appetizer. They were delicious. I ordered the steak tips and my husband ordered the fish and chips - both were pretty good. Folks next to us ordered pizzas and they looked tasty. Definitely worth a try if you're visiting the Cape! read more

Jack's looks like a house on the outside, but feels like home inside. It's very clean, well decorated (simple, yet elegant), and has a romantic feel on one side, while the bar is fun and inviting. The food was amazing. I'm not sure what they marinate the steak tips with, but my eyes rolled back into my head when I tasted them. The bruschetta appetizer was delicious.. I would go back just for this! My teens loved their meals (fish and chips, quesadillas), and my husband nearly licked his plate. The prices were perfect for the portion sizes and quality of food. We will most definitely be back soon. read more

excellent food - our second night on the trot. wonderful seafood last night and superb steak tonight. They might like to consider their air conditioning though, despite bringing to their attention the very chilly temperature in our area of the restaurant, no consideration given to it at all. It was a relief to get outside to warm up even though it's mid September and it's rained all day! On vacation and moving on tomorrow so it won't matter to us but had we been staying longer we wouldn't have returned to be chilled to the bone. read more

Best bar pizza I've ever had, unfortunately I live close to Boston but you better believe every time we are on Cape, we stop at Jacks!

Oh Falmouth, where did we do wrong? After an awesome Martha's Vineyard day trip, dinner finds me at Jacks restaurant and bar. Jacks is full of life. The live music is great, and the staff pleasant. The menu features, well, a little bit of everything. From seafood and pasta, burgers and sandwiches, to even pizza. And judging by the amount of pies coming out of the kitchen, the pizza is a big deal. As great as the atmosphere was, Unfortunately the food was a ginormous letdown. The stuffed flounder was unusually tough, with the consistency of a tuna steak almost. The flavor profile also fell short. The chicken Marsala carries the same tune, unconvincing. As disappointing as those were, nothing could have prepared me for the sad state of the rice. Is rice supposed to be crunchy? And when the kitchen attempts to send you another to replace the undercooked version, should that one also be crunchy? Driving home and still picking rice out from between my teeth. Conclusion: fun? Sure. Appetizing...not so much. read more

pasta sauce is terrible. it's like tomato paste. please make a better effort with your pasta sauce it doesn't take much to doctor up can sauce. read more

I have nothing bad to say about Jack's. Our sever was kind, attentive, and have some great recommendations. The food was amazing!!! My spouse and I split a mushroom pizza & beef tenderloin. The pizza was thin crust, crispy, and perfectly done. I live in the South Shore, so we have a lot of bar pizza locations but this pizza blew it out of the park! The beef tenderloin was so soft, I could cut it with a butter knife. The mashed potatoes were so creamy and fluffy. I definitely will be making the hour plus drive back here in the future. read more

We stopped by Jack's after a day of basketball games. At 8:00 on a Saturday night and St Patrick's day, we weren't super hopeful that we'd get in, but we were pleased by the warm welcome and quick seating. Service was quick and friendly, and the live music made the room energetic and loud, which is definitely the atmosphere. It's a fun local joint that makes you feel like your from the neighborhood. But not a place for quiet or intimate conversations for sure. We ordered chicken parm and chicken and broccoli alfredo. Both were delicious. Big portions of pasta underneath a generous sized and perfectly prepared chicken breast. Oftentimes chicken is prepared poorly and either undercooked and not crisp or overcooked and inedible or without taste. This was great. Service remained happy, attentive and friendly. When the check came, I was pleasantly surprised by the reasonable total. Try it out for a nice dinner with friends. You'll be happy with the choice. read more

Favorite dinner spot in the Cape. Has a great menu and food selection and the staff is super friendly and accommodating. Great date night or family dinner spot with non-seafood and seafood dishes. read more

Bottom line: Food execution issues. Staff fabulous. Server was friendly and attentive Atmosphere great. Love the bar area. The food...not so much. Special coconut shrimp and standard stuffed quahog wayyyyy overcooked. Oh boy. Salmon entree looked and tasted out of a cafeteria. Trinity pasta lacked any salt in the cooking process and it was flat. I wish the food was better, as we would make this place a regular stop but as it is now, maybe would stop in for a drink but not going back for dinner. read more

Very nice restaurant. I had the haddock Reuben and loved it. We all enjoyed our food and drinks. The service was fast and friendly and I would definitely visit again the next time I'm in Falmouth. read more

Jack's, a local icon! I have heard a lot about this establishment, and have gotten pizza to go when I return from the Vineyard. Tonight, I needed to dine in, and take my bride. We arrived at opening, were greeted by a smiling and genuinely happy hostess. We were seated promptly we met Jack himself ( a super kind man!) , and Kelsey our server was there with a genuine smile on her face. Two of the most perfect bone dry gin martinis were served. LUSCIOUS! Nothing fake here! We ordered a Caesar salad, which was one of the most outstanding we have ever had. Then, 4 (yes 4!) pizzas! Total bar pizza, with crackers crust, sauce to the edges, and properly cooked. We had a pepperoni and onion, pepper and onion, banana pepper and Hamburg and a meatball. (One can never have enough of Jack's pizza!) We had plenty to take home! Jack's i a true family establishment, that is one of the cleanest I have ever experienced. We cannot wait to return. Thank you Jack and Kelsey for a super meal and a reasonable price! read more

I had dinner at Jack's today on Friday, August 19, 2022. It was my first time at the restaurant. The service, the food, the ambiance were outstanding. I greeted by Jack at the door and welcomed in and seated at a table by the window. I ordered the pan seared scallops, mashed red potatoes, and sautéed spinach.The "best" I have ever had. It was fresh, excellently prepared, tasted great! I am very selective and not easy to please when it comes to food. I highly recommend Jack's and plan to return upon my next trip from White Plains, New York to Falmouth. Dalphine read more

Closes at 9pm - (at this point, this seems to be just a theory) - got here at 8:35pm to have a quick drink at the bar while making our plan for tonight. Lady bartender locked the doors and would not let us enter. Saw diners through windows still eating. Lady bartender sent gentlemen outside to tell us no. Open til 9 means I can have a glass of wine at the bar at 8:38pm lady bartender. Won't be frequenting your establishment any longer. read more

Amazing food and service! Went on a Friday night and there was great live music playing as we enjoyed our delicious meal.
