Ezequiel gave us 5 start service as always! We love Jack's because the food is delicious & the environment is fun!

I have been to Jack's many times and each visit the food was fantastic and the desert even better!

I live 5 minutes away from here but never knew how AMAZING Jack's is. That is, until tonight! Wifey and I randomly came here this Friday night at 7:30PM and were HIGHLY impressed. You see, Yardhouse in Santana Row used to be our go-to spot until we realized that the wait can be overwhelming (especially during Happy Hour). When we went to Jack's, there was no wait and wifey and I were seated immediately. And speaking of Yardhouse, Jack's reminded us of our former favorite go-to spot, which is a great thing! Service was quick and friendly, food was delicious, and ambience was amazing (TV, bar, comfy booths). We opted for the calamari w/ jalapeños, tutto mare, and smash burger with garlic fries. ALL dishes were absolutely SUBLIME. We are excited to explore the rest of the menu in the very near future, including the breakfast and lunch dishes. In addition, sourdough bread was complimentary and super tasty. An easy 5/5 restaurant. Highly recommend. Kudos to Jack's for providing me and my wife an enjoyable Friday dinner experience. Cheers to many more date nights here! read more

This is one of our two "go-to" places in our neighborhood. Extensive menu so you can find most anything you're in the mood for. Staff is always friendly and attentive. I usually opt for one of the burgers. My wife loves the Asian salad. Nice for indoor or outdoor dining. Fair prices. read more

TL;DR: Relaxed eatery with accommodating staff and quick service. Food was good - nothing particularly special. Ordered: - Blackened catfish: One of the better dishes our group ordered. A bit underseasoned but the cook was perfect - Sweet potato fries: pro tip - if you ask nicely, they might be willing to add garlic to the fries :) All-in-all, a relaxed vibe where we got to enjoy each other's company. The food was alright - good, not great. Cheers, Jack's! read more

I absolutely loved this place! It was the second time I've been here but the first time we just sat at the bar. When we went in we were greeted right away and offered indoor and outdoor seating, we opted for indoor.they have a very open floor seating concept, so if you're looking g for things to be on the more privet side maybe ask for a booth along the window or seating near the bar. I think the decor and amenities were great, and although they had an open floor concept the dining area and bar area were split nicely. I had the fried chicken sandwich and my roommate had the French drip. Both of us were very satisfied with the food! No complaints at all. The only disappointment I had was that there were no utensils or napkins at our table when seated. I assumed by the time we got our drinks they would be given to us. I ordered an ice coffee that I couldn't drink until I asked for a straw and it wasn't u til we got our food and mentioned we didn't have any Dino g wear and I needed a knife that some was given to us. The server did apologize and she was pretty on top of things considering how busy they were, so I'll give her that but it was kind of annoying. It was kind of weird considering they had a staff member checking the floor, helping the servers with drinks and checking in with customer, which is great if they have silverware on the table lol. All in all I'd definitely give this place a thumbs up and plan on coming back. I hear the breakfast is really good. read more

Very nice spot. I've been to the one in Newark, but don't remember it being this good. This place hits the spot in terms of comfort food. Drinks are actually really good and staff is really attentive. I had the tuna melt and it was great. Everyone in the party enjoyed the experience. Overall, if you want a good meal, for a fair price then this is a perfect spot for all of that. read more

Jack of All Trades This locally-owned chain of restaurants now boasts five locations throughout the Bay Area, with this Westgate location being its newest. Jack's is a classic American diner, but with a substantial bar program, and its menu features a big nod to the family's Greek heritage. The Good: * Reservations via the Yelp app or their website * Dog-friendly outdoor dining * Happy Hour Mon - Fri 3 p.m. - 6 p.m. * Full bar with sixteen beers on tap * Great service * Prices are very reasonable * My Lamb Burger was cooked perfectly medium-rare and the flavor was terrific and not gamey at all. Also, their garlic fry upgrade ($1.75) is 100% worth it if you're a vampire hunter, like myself. Just don't expect any kisses from the misses afterwards. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The Meh: * Zucchini Cakes were just OK. They needed a little more zing to them to make the flavor pop, but I mean, I get it. It's zucchini. How much can you really do with it in the first place? The Ugly: * I'd prefer to see fewer macro and more locally-made microbrews. We have so many great breweries in the Bay that it's a shame for a great local spot like this not to highlight them. Conclusion: We don't always have a hankering for diners, but when we do, this will be our go-to. read more

This review is for their breakfast. Had the Eggs Benedict and the Corned Beef Hash Breakfast plate. The Benedict has good hollandaise sauce; it's the lemony kind. Perfectly poached eggs with the jelly yolk. Asked for sourdough toast instead of hashbrown. The corned beef hash was a bit dry; it's the corned beef meat that's chopped into bits smaller than ground beef. The hashbrown was good, crispy outside. Food came out pretty quickly. read more

I have had breakfast and lunch here previously, and it was so good. I decided to hold my dad's family birthday dinner here. I was so disappointed in the way our steaks cane out. My son and I ordered ours "medium" and they cane out with one end cooked rare and the other skinnier end waaaaay beyond well done. The server did offer to have our steaks recooked, but everyone else was finishing up their fish(which I heard was great), so we declined. There other large parties in the restaurant tonight so it was VERY loud and difficult to hold a conversation, but that was ok. I have to say our server was amazing! Very attentive, polite and friendly. Should we try to go back and try ordering a steak a second time? read more

Did not have a great experience here. We ordered a medium well steak, and it was all red and bloody, definitely on the rarer side. My least favorite part was the service. Our server did not care at all. She was very uninterested, barely checked in on us. She was a reason why we felt discouraged to send out food back. The worst part was that we couldn't tip accordingly. They only gave us the option of 18, 20, and 22%. I guess you could also leave no tip, but to me, that's messed up. The experience was not good enough to be that expensive too. The environment is really nice though. It's a very pretty restaurant, but what does that matter if the experience doesn't match. read more

Came in on a Saturday and the wait wasn't too bad. The service could use some improvement but the food here was solid though! The Mediterranean sampler (4/5) was really great! The pita was warm and soft and the tzatziki and hummus were especially good. Personally am not a fan of lamb but I got the lamb burger (3.5/5) to try and it was fine. It's definitely not hitting the burger craving but it was cooked well. The sweet potatoes fries (5/5) were soooo good and I'd definitely get those again! The Italian Mac (4/5) was delicious too! Cheesy and the Italian sausage was flavorful. I would want to try out their other Macs in the future. I tried my bf's chicken gyro and I thought it was good. Chicken was seasoned pretty well and the sauce was tasty. Only feedback is the service could be better. They didn't provide enough utensils and napkins so we had to keep waiting for the server to get to us. The starter also took a while to arrive, and our meals did not arrive at the same time so one person had to wait way longer than the rest of the people. Everything just felt disorganized. I'd come back on a slower day and hopefully service is better then. read more

Have been here a lot - had a bad mix up with a to-go order and the manager (Red? Sorry if I messed that up), was amazing. There was a new employee, which is understandable, that took the order and so the manager stayed calm, had someone else assist me, and took the new employee to the back to help fix things. The manager made sure I was good to go, personally checked and re checked everything to make sure it was right. It's rare to get service like this these days. She could have handled the situation in so many negative ways but was calm, prioritized in the right way, and made sure everything was fixed. Made a tough situation a good one. Thank you! read more

This is my 5th or 6th time dining at this restaurant and I have to say that both the food and the service have been excellent from day one. Since this is such a rarity in the industry as of late, It's always a welcomed surprise. Tonight was no exception. I came here with my mom and it looked like they were a little bit short-staffed. Christian who I believe was the restaurant manager, ended up helping us and he was awesome. My mom loved the Patrole Soul and Christian's suggestion of the pumpkin bread pudding was spot on. It was a five-star experience and we will definitely be returning...thanks Jack's! read more

Overall Experience: 6.4/10 The restaurant is in the back separated from the Westgate mall. The restaurant has a modern interior and has many TV's for what ever sport or event is happening. The tables are spaced out very nicely and is very comfy to be seated. The service was amazing, as they constantly check in and makes sure you're doing alright. The Food: I have been here a couple of times, and have taken out once but the food has always been somewhat of a let down each of the times. I've had the lamb burger, but the burger itself was cooked a too much compared to what was ordered, and it was missing a lot of seasoning. It lacked the salt, and was not super juicy. The toppings on the burger complements it nicely but wasn't anything special. The lamb burger just tasted too gamey. With it, I got a side of potato salad which I thought had great flavor and good texture. I have also taken out their breakfast burrito, but the burrito was not flavorful again. The burrito was also a lot smaller than expected, and the eggs did not have the necessary salt or seasonings, as well as the potatoes. I have also came here for breakfast and tried their omelet, which was decent, but nothing special. It had the fixings and decent in size, so I would recommend those breakfast items the most. Overall: I really like the space and where it is located, but the food has been a miss most the times I have been there which is disappointing. But if you're looking for somewhere that is comfy to sit and watch the games I would tell you this is an option to go to. read more

Jack's Restaurant & Bar - LAMB BURGER - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Jose, California

Pot roast was basic, but good. My husband enjoyed the Italian pasta dish. Arnold Palmer was great. Zucchini cakes were good. Caesar Salad was terrible. Flavorless and cheap grated Parmesan cheese that was also on the "Italian" pasta dish. They ran out of bread so that was not served. Not a bad dinner, but DEFINITELY not worth $80. Service was just okay. Ambiance was nice. read more

I wanted to update my review so I could include some photos of the food. Jacks still remains one of my favorite restaurants in San Jose because the service and food are always amazing. I am here every few weeks and the food NEVER disappoints. Choosing my meal is the worst part of my experience here because everything is so good. I also wanted to shout out Ezekiel again. He makes dining here so memorable because he is so kind and friendly. I truly cannot recommend this place enough! Not included in this review are drinks. We didn't order any tonight, but they are also great. My favorite is the pomegranate in a pear tree! read more

I've been to Jack's a few times with some friends. As always, the food is lovely and the customer service is great. It was busy when we came around this time, which is good to see. When I got there, my friends were already seated and were just about to order some appetizers, so it was great timing. We ended up trying the garlic fries and housemade chips. Both were wonderful. I got the sole with veggies and mashed potatoes - it was great, but did need a little more seasoning. It was enough for dinner and lunch the next day! My friends got various dishes. We also tried a couple of desserts - the berry cheesecake and tuxedo cake with a scoop of ice cream. Delicious. Jack's is a great place to catch up with some friends, family or go on a date. Everything is lively, but you can still talk to your group without yelling. While the food was great - the drinks could be improved upon. Two of our drinks (we got the same thing) tasted mostly like carbonated water (which I don't like, but my friend does) while another drink had a salt rim instead of the sugar rim advertised. Overall, I'd come back, but will probably avoid getting any of the drinks. read more

This is my second time at Jack's and, again, delicious food and great service. The Manager checked on us to ensure we were happy and we assured him we were.

After seeing this in the neighborhood for so long, we finally had the chance to try and we're so glad we did. The French dip is amazing. It's such a rare menu item for most restaurants nowadays that we were so glad it was delicious. The shrimp scampi pasta was okay, and it was probably more of a personal preference than the restaurant's fault (I'm a little sensitive to oily food and this dish seemed to have a bit more than I'm used to with shrimp scampi pasta). This definitely doesn't change that we want to come back for the French Dip and to try some other things on the menu. We were also wanting to try some of the happy hour appetizers with some more people in our party. Service was decent! All staff members were quite attentive, and even a manager had willingly checked in with us which we appreciated. Inside was very modern and cozy, though definitely appreciated the casual vibes still. We'll be back :) read more

I can't stop thinking about the wedge salad I had at Jack's! While most places stick to the classic combo of blue cheese dressing and bacon crumbles, Jack's takes it up a notch with a drizzle of balsamic that brings the whole dish to life--absolute perfection. We went for brunch to celebrate my son's birthday, and I made the reservation through the Yelp app (which might have helped with the great service ). Our table was ready when we arrived, complete with two booster seats for my grandkids, plus crayons and coloring sheets--such a thoughtful touch. Service was spot-on, and I loved that they brought the kids' meals out first. Everyone enjoyed their food, and the atmosphere struck that perfect balance--comfortable enough for a family brunch but still cozy enough for a more intimate meal. I'll definitely be back! read more

An American restaurant with a modern design and ample seating where you can come for a casual meal or for an occasion. They have booths, tables, and high top tables for seating. Breakfast is served until 2pm and lunch until 4pm, so note the times if you were coming for a particular dish or brunch food! Items Ordered: - Spanakopita ($10): A flaky appetizer with cheese and spinach that was filling and delicious! - Crispy buffalo chicken salad ($21.95): The crispy buffalo was a bit spicier than I expected. I personally would prefer another protein with the salad as the buffalo had a bit of a sour flavor to it, but the meat itself was tender and there was a generous amount of buffalo in the salad. The salad comes with a ranch dressing, corn, black beans, and avocado. - Italian Mac ($17.50): Really cheesy and had a great flavor overall. Comes with Italian sausage and sun dried tomatoes. read more

I'm about to glaze this place so bare with me. I was looking for a random bar/restaraunt and had never been here before. I genuinely thought it was going to be a small bar with maybe 1-2 guys working, but it was a beautiful establishment and had the best mac and cheese ever. To my surprise a place where I thought I was going to fulfill a random craving turned out to be fantasticcc and everyone working was so nice and attentive. It also just so happened to be happy hour, sooo it was pretty epic for just a random place i chose that was nearest to me. read more

I originally wanted to come here for their beers. I ended up ordering a lot more. Firstly, we ordered a round of cocktails. The Mango Fuego was okay. It was tasty but overall very sweet. The Fresa Picante was pretty good. The other cocktail we tried was the Cucumber Cocktail, that was delicious and our favorite. Their cocktails although tasty aren't very strong and are made very lightly. Cocktails aside. Their Clam spaghetti was VERY tasty and delicious. We replaced it with Alfredo sauce and it came out very creamy and overall, delicious. Shoutout to the cook, they did a wonderful job with it. Their clam chowder was also delicious and a great appetizer. The service was great. Our waiter, Esteban was very efficient, kind and welcoming. He's an excellent waiter and we hope to have him in the future on our next visit. The atmosphere is also very beautiful, calm and relaxing. I loved the outdoor area especially with the fairy lights and the nice cool air. I'll definitely be coming back again and strongly recommend this place. Fantastic service and fantastic food. read more

9/24/25 around 2pm Espresso martini : 100/10 If you love coffee & alcohol then this is the one for you. You cant taste the alcohol at all but it hits you when you less expect. Garlic fries: Big size, crispy, good taste. Caesar Salad: fresh, simple. For a side its a good size. Mama Meat loaf: Picture worthy, comes with 2 big onion rings, mashed potatoes on the bottom and a flavorful meat in the middle.The gravy does add another amazing flavor to the meat as well.This will fill you up & dinner worthy. Jack's routine alfredo: Creamy, good size & tender chicken, broccoli was with flavor. Simple but yet yummy. Italian mac and cheese: cheesy, lots of meat & veggies in it, well balanced overall. You can get half order as well. Even the half was a good size enough for 2 people. Some like it hot: If you love spicy & alcohol than this is the drink! Looks amazing with a spicy side. Customer service was amazing, our server was amazing, she dis have good recommendations. Clean restaurant inside and outside as well. They do have a bar with many options in drinks & with a good amount of tvs to watch games on. read more

We had an excellent meal, (check out the spread.) My friend and I got the Jack salad and added avocado and grilled chicken. It's a substantial amount. We also got the pita bread with hummus and also a side of sweet potato fries. The fries and the pita bread weren't very hot (pita bread didn't taste like it was fresh out the oven like all the other times I've been here), but everything came out together at the same time, so that was good. They were slammed so we were lucky to get in and I recommend to get a reservation. They have a lot of nice comfy booths, which I love. It's nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of overly crowded downtown Campbell or Willow Glen. I need to start venturing out into this direction. Esquivel (sp.?) was our waiter and he was very attentive and very nice. It's refreshing to have a good old-fashioned service. He apologized when he came to refill our waters, which was appreciated. Although we did understand again, they were super busy on a Friday evening. read more

Two years later and this new review now gets FIVE STARS for sure! I've visited Jack's a few times since my original review and I can honestly say this place truly understands customer service. On Saturday I hosted my daughter's Bridal Shower for 20 of our family and friends. I started the process with Nouha and after a few weeks she handed me off to Christina who had been out. Both were fantastic to work with. We held the shower on the larger of the two patios and the space was perfect! I opted for one long table, a dessert table, a gift and photo display table and the Buffett. The ceiling fans were key as this particular day was miserably hot and muggy. The service team was beyond incredible. I brought a ton of my own decor for the tables as well S desserts and they helped me unload my car, place the table decor exactly as I showed them and together we transformed the raw space into a beautiful event celebrating my daughter. The food was great and we had lots left over which we served for dinner later that night. Here's what I ordered: Mediterranean platter - yummy! Spanakopita - my moms favorite Grilled Chicken skewers - a little dry but flavorful! Rice - fluffy and light Steamed Veggies - perfectly cooked Water glasses to always full and the wine never ran out. Guests all complimented the food and the space which was so nice to hear. The ONLY thing I might say is the floor could use a really good scrubbing. You could tell this space gets used a lot and food gets spilled often so there were obvious buildup and sticky patches. But certainly not a huge deal, Hosting the Shower her was such a great choice. Zero regrets and thankful for the Jack's team who worked hard to make this event so special! read more

I dined at Jack's this past weekend while I was in town visiting family. I have eaten at the other locations in San Mateo and Newark, but this newer location is just as special. I ordered the caesar salad with the addition of bay shrimp and the avgolemono soup. I always make sure to get this delicious, chickeny, lemony fresh and creamy soup because it is truly outstanding. It's comforting but light at the same time. The salad was perfectly crisp with lots of delicious, sweet bay shrimp. Even the croutons were the right amount of crisp without being break-your-teeth level of crunch. The service was pretty quick around noon, which was much better than the other Jack's locations we've been to. In terms of cleanliness, of course the restaurant was spotless and cozy. I would definitely go back next time I'm in the area. read more
