I love Jack's. I've been going here for ten years now and the experience is always excellent. The service is superb and the food is always fantastic. I especially love that all the employees are always so sweet with our little kids (4 and almost 2). Special shoutout to Jaiden who was our server and made us laugh and was so great with the kiddos. Eddie was also so kind and personable and made our evening extra special. Can't wait to come back already. :) read more

I had a noticeably so great day and it was 105° in livermore so I was not about to cook when I got home. Decided to give jacks a try. And SOOO happy I did! From being greeted at the door by a kind gentlemen to be seated by a cutie patootie and then our waiter JONAS was sooo attentive sooo kind and honestly I needed this kind of service to believe in humanity again. Food was good but service was amazing! Ambience was esthetically pleasing i can't complain at all! Definitely will be returning!!! read more

The fifth star is for the staff's attitude! Located in a mall, it is a spacious restaurant with a large bar and an enclosed patio. Five of us met there for lunch. Good food, great staff attitude = even when there was a mix up with an order. The onion rings were delicious! Would have been nice to get refills for our ice tea and Arnold Palmers but no big deal. I have been to Jack's Cantina plenty of times and felt very comfortable at this visit. Definitely recommend. read more

Service was ok, it was 4pm on a Saturday and not busy, but we didn't get that much attention. The food: - The lamb meatballs were a bit dry even in the marinara sauce - The gravy on the meatloaf made it taste more like beef stew - my son's grilled cheese was semi cold - steak was ordered med-rare but came well done - salads were good! Overall vibe was good. I enjoyed the space between patrons and large table area read more

Came here for lunch for the first time in a while. The restaurant is always clean and welcoming. We're greeted by the way by a friendly hostess. You seated right away and given my news. I ordered the meatloaf because I haven't had meatloaf in a long time and quite honestly didn't have much flavor either did the gravy or the mashed potatoes. My friend got a turkey sandwich. Looks pretty big and came with garlic fries. Also a nice size order there. So portion wise you get plenty. I would not order the meatloaf again. It wasn't bad. It just didn't have much flavor. The server wasn't bad, but she was pretty nonexistent. read more

Jack's Restaurant & Bar - MAMA ELENI'S MEATLOAF - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Newark, California

I decided to dine in here early weekday morning to get 20% off on their breakfast, excluding alcohol. There was no host when I arrived, so I had to wait five minutes for a server to arrive to be seated. Nick the server was friendly and kind to take my orders and offered water. I got the Farmers Market Frittata with a side of hash browns and an English muffin. The frittata was made out of egg whites and filled with lots of feta cheese, yet smaller than the hash browns since the frittata was thin. I ended up with one spinach leaf and the rest are flavorful with mushrooms and onions. I expected the main dish to be bigger, but it's giving inflation plate. I also got a short stack of Swedish pancakes as a morning dessert. It's just flat pancakes made like crepe style with a dollop of butter mixed with lingonberries. I expected to have lingonberries mixed in the pancake batter, but ended up flat. I didn't need much warm syrup since it came with powdered sugar. Still good to finish the whole meal. Overall, I saved nearly $6 with that 20% breakfast coupon from the mail. Tips start at 18%. Not crowded to dine in on a weekday morning and more quiet than weekend brunch. Service was good despite short staffed. read more

What comes to mind when you hear the name JACKS? Most people probably think of JACK N JILL. However, I'd like to share a nice dining experience I had in the Newark Mall area, complete with excellent staff, attentive servers, and delicious food. Recently, I visited this location with some friends, and I was thoroughly impressed. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by. I had a wonderful breakfast brunch there today, and it was truly enjoyable. So, the next time you're in the Newark/Fremont area, make sure to visit JACKS--you won't be disappointed! read more

Jack's Restaurant & Bar - Yummy! Couldn't make up our minds, so just do it! Dessert First! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Newark, California

Jacks Restaurant and Bar is a decent spot in Newark, conveniently attached to NewPark Mall. The restaurant has a casual, comfortable atmosphere that makes it a good place to grab a meal or drinks and hang out with friends, coworkers, or family. It has a traditional restaurant-and-bar feel that makes it a pretty easygoing place to spend some time. I ordered the Classic Burger, and while there wasn't anything particularly wrong with it, it was pretty much what you'd expect from a classic burger. The flavors were fairly straightforward and, unfortunately, it didn't really stand out compared to some of the better burgers you can find around the area. The fries were also a little bland and weren't as crispy as I would have liked. That said, Jacks is still a decent place to hang out and have a casual meal or drinks. Our server was friendly and attentive, routinely coming by to check on us and make sure everything was going well. I probably wouldn't come specifically for the burger, but if you're looking for a relaxed spot to catch up with friends, coworkers, or family, Jacks is still worth considering. read more

I came to Jacks with my wife family, the last night we were staying in Fremont. This place is near my wife aunt place and she wanted to come here before we leave to go home. We came close to closing time so the parking was easily to find and we got seated quickly. The restaurant was not busy at all, with some guest inside. I got the New York steak 10oz at medium rare and asked just for fries as my sides. My wife got the grilled salmon for her dish and her mom and aunt got the California burger. It took some time for our food to come outm My wife like her salmon and also her aunt with the burger since that's what she always get. My New York steak color didn't look appealing to me but they cooked it to medium rare like I requested. The steak was okay, I was more hungry than anything else. I finished it quick and was still hungry so I ordered some Hot Wings since it was happy hour price. I like the Hot wings more than my steak and I asked for no blue cheese. The issue I had while dining here was it took three attempts and 3 different people at the restaurant to finally get a refill on my soda. Our waitress disappeared, the waiter who brought our food never came back and it wasn't until the manager came to ask us how we were doing to finally give all of us a refill on our drinks. read more

Tried their new smash burger and Mac n cheese Smash burger was good but not really a smash burger im used to. Patties more on the thicker side but still flavorful and a thick filling burger. Mac and cheese was good too. I'm not much of a Mac and cheese person but this was good. Hints of sun-dried tomatoes and the chili flakes in their had a nice kick to balance out the richness overall good comfort style foods here read more

Pretty large establishment. Noisy but you can spread out so it's not too bad. Very air conditioned, thank goodness. Excellent employees. We really loved our waitress. She was super sweet and attentive. I enjoyed my cheeseburger. It was huge so I took half of it and the fries home. Pumpkin bread pudding a la mode was pretty great! Tons of parking. Fairly priced. read more

This is our family go-to and you will never go wrong with their Tuna melt and their kids meal: Fish and Chips! Also love their plant based burger! The customer service is great and the cook must love his job because at this location the passion for their cheffing is evident! read more

Jack's Restaurant - Love this place! It is a dependable go-to--despite being a chain, the food is consistently great. The drinks are strong, and the service is friendly and efficient. We visit often with family, and it never disappoints. There can be a wait, so calling ahead is recommended, but it's well worth it. Favorite dishes include the wedge salad and bacon mac & cheese, and our go-to starters--calamari and coconut shrimp--are always reliable. Location & Ambiance: Conveniently located at Newpark Mall near the freeway, with the added bonus of being able to walk around after your meal. The atmosphere is lively but not overly loud, even when busy (especially near the bar). They also offer a semi-private room for larger groups and outdoor seating on nice days. read more

I finally went back to Jack's after several years (pre-covid time) and was inspired to give the lunch menu a try after ordering breakfast take out at the Saratoga location a month ago. This location is fairly large and the vibe is great! Excellent ambiance with lots of Christmas trees all around. The bar area is very inviting as well. We were seated promptly on a Sunday afternoon and greeted genuinely by Fee (spelling?) and also served by Amani. Fee was all smiles and we loved her positive attitude. She recommend the calamari and I knew we'd have to order that. Huge portion! Eats: *Calamari *Catfish Po' Boy + mixed green salad & ranch *Tuna Melt + fries *Patty Melt + fries I was debating between the first two and chose the po' boy-- best decision ever! Huge filet of panko crusted catfish, chilled cole slaw, and ciabatta bun toasted to perfection. Salad was a refreshing addition after the indulgent crispy calamari! They serve breakfast until 2pm and I've had the bananas foster French toast from Saratoga. It's amazing! Gonna get that next time when dining in. Happy Hour looks good too! Monday to Friday, 3pm-6pm, 8pm-close at the bar area. Parking has never been an issue. Lots of people enjoy Jack's and now I'm one of them! read more

I'm surprised I haven't reviewed them yet. Their service has been pretty friendly each time we've gone. Our sick kid wanted comfort food and when he thought of mac & cheese, he immediately thought of Jack's. He really likes their bacon mac & cheese. Plenty of parking because the mall is basically empty aside from the few restaurants and 24 hr. fitness. Pretty clean environment and restrooms. Decent number of tvs to watch at the bar. Covered outdoor area is nice too. Kitchen has open windows so you can watch them cook. read more

We came into town for a family reunion and decided to try out this place for dinner. They have nice people working here. He got here a little before happy hour ended so they got our drinks and appetizers in before it ended. That was so nice. There was a lot to choose from the menu but I went with some Greek appetizers and my mom and uncle got the pasta dish. My aunt got the grilled salmon salad and she said it was really good. All of the food was absolutely delicious. We shared the appetizers and had a great time. All of the staff are very attentive, we didn't feel neglected at all. The ambiance is casual dining, the restaurant is very clean and attractive. read more

Located on the outside of the mall with plenty of parking . Went on a Friday night with no wait time . Had heated outside area but choose to sit inside due to it was way to loud outside . Our server Chris was very attentive and very friendly . Everyone kept checking on the guest and all seemed very professional and alert . Portions were large and pricing is average for today's food. Food was delicious and filling. Had the Moscow mule which was very refreshing unfortunately didn't have any flavors but no problems. 100% recommend and will go again. Bonus is movie theater next door so makes it perfect location for a dinner and movie night. read more

Felicia and so sorry I don't know your name, the bar tender Wednesday night, 9/9/26. Felicia- I have been here 3x, 2x I was lucky enough to have you serve our table, or tonight just me. You are a gift to Jack's. You are bringing people together just to spend an hour or two with you in your presence. I saw you tonight tell a man "happy birthday", you did so before he said anything so I realize he is a regular. What you did, I PROMISE, meant the world to him. He literally showed up tonight to hope you would say hi and tell him happy birthday, then he met a random person at the bar and it became a birthday to remember. People hope for those moments, you provide them nightly I am sure. Felicia don't stop what you do, it changes people but you may not realize it. We search for love and attention in the world, we typically don't get it. Just don't forget why we are here. People like you bring it 24/7 and if it isn't noticed by your organization please reach out, you will see me again and I know I will have the best service I have ever received in my 57 years on this planet. Don't think it goes unnoticed, we live for our families first, then I feel we live for people we impact along the way. You have impacted people, keep pushing, keep being the Absolute BEST at what you do and teach the ones behind you. You are a star!!!! read more

From the moment we arrived, the service was excellent. The hostess stand was so kind and patient with our 80-year-old mom, allowing her time to decide what temperature and seating area would be most comfortable for her, inside or outside. That level of care really stood out. Our server, Alysa M, was fantastic. She immediately offered thoughtful suggestions for both drinks and meals, was knowledgeable about the menu, friendly, attentive, and incredibly efficient throughout the entire experience. The food was absolutely delicious. My brother and I both ordered the steak, and our mom had the Sautéed Petrale Sole. She is usually a very light eater, but she completely devoured her meal, which says everything! We left very impressed with both the food and the hospitality. We will definitely be back. read more

Finally after seeing Jack's everywhere, I tried it out - and it was not bad all!! Happy hour after 8p! Let's goo. Jack's is a well-known, long-established spot for classic American comfort food. They offer a great selection of small bites -- meatballs, mac and cheese, pot roast (made fresh), calamari, pasta, other entrees and fresh bread -- all of which were surprisingly good and big for happy-hour portions. Any of their sauces are really good. They've also got a nice lineup of drinks, including beer, wine, and cocktails, so it's easy to find something that fits your mood. The decor is warm and inviting, they also play sport games at the bar. They even have a private room in the back if you're planning a group gathering or celebration. read more

I can't believe we've been coming here for three years now! It's become a staple on our Sunday afternoon restaurant list. We had never been for breakfast before, but this past Saturday my son had an early basketball game and didn't have time to eat beforehand. We got there around 11 a.m. and were seated right away. Our server greeted us quickly, took our drink orders, and got the kids' entrées started. She was very friendly, but unfortunately, I didn't catch her name. She had to go on break, and another server took over. We'd actually had him the Sunday before for lunch -- his service is a bit standoffish, and he seems like he doesn't really enjoy helping guests. It wasn't terrible service, but definitely not friendly either. Anyway, the food was great and everyone enjoyed their meal. The absolute star of breakfast for me was the hash browns -- perfectly crunchy on the outside, fluffy and creamy on the inside, and really well seasoned. We'll definitely keep coming back whenever we're in the mood for their delicious food. read more

On July 25, 2026, Me and my lady I dined at Jack's Restaurant, and unfortunately our experience with our server, who I believe was named Mariah, was disappointing. From the beginning of our meal, we noticed that we were not provided water like the other tables around us. Throughout our visit, the server's tone toward us felt dismissive and unfriendly. Whenever she spoke to us, she seemed to have an attitude, while we observed her interacting with other customers in a much friendlier and more respectful manner. At the end of our meal, when we were ready to pay, we waited approximately 15 minutes before she returned to process our payment. But by then I had to ask someone else to pay We understand that restaurants can get busy, but we expect to be treated with the same level of courtesy and service as every other guest. We hope this feedback is taken seriously so future customers receive consistent and respectful service. read more
