Went for an afternoon bite with my mom and we shared the Chinese chicken salad which was really large. The vinaigrette was pretty tasty. It was pretty healthy- I kinda wished for fried chicken instead of grilled chicken. Their buffalo chicken salad comes with crispy chicken and that looked yummy. We got a California cheese steak to share that was even better at home because I put in the toaster oven and it crisped the bread perfectly. The garlic fries were good and not oily- will have to try their spicy fries next time. I would definitely come back and and try some of their plated dishes or other sandwiches. I do have to say the service was nice- staff were very friendly and acomodating. read more

I'm leaving this review with tears in my eyes as they've taking my favorite sandwich off the menu, I crave it all the time, Brie Turkey Cranberry. It was perfect. Now it's gone, Hang on to things you love while they last. Could be the last time, read more

I come here fairly frequently- mostly for lunch- because it is close to my work and we love the food. The food always tastes fresh and portions sizes are great. My favorite items are the Western BBQ Steak Salad and Cajun Chicken Sandwich with a side of french fries, of course. The Western BBQ Steak Salad has a good amount of tender BBQ steak strips. I love the textures with this salad- jicama, corn, shredded carrots, garbanzo and kidney beans, tomatoes, crispy fried onions. It had a little bit of everything plus a delicious creamy (but not heavy) dill dressing. It's pretty perfect. My go-to salad here for sure. They are really accommodating to your preferences. You can always easily eliminate and substitute for other add-in salad toppings if you like. But I love everything in the Western BBQ Steak salad and don't change a thing. The Cajun Chicken Sandwich is delicious. I have tried a few other sandwiches on the menu as well- the Spicy Buffalo and Pesto Chicken. The Spicy Buffalo sandwich is SO good but when we used to be able to dine-in, it would take a little longer to make because the chicken piece is fried. So when I would be dining with friends, my sandwich always came a little later. When I tried the Cajun Chicken sandwich I was sold and it easily became my new favorite. The mango salsa is awesome paired with the grilled chicken. Not spicy but flavorful and juicy. I'm never disappointed with the quality of food here. The service here has always been top notch, too- friendly faces (even under masks these days). read more

Food is really good but what we really appreciated was the service we received from Austin. We had a long day and his bright and fun energy was a pleasant surprise and uplifted us. Being as busy as it was the food came out really quick. We will definitely be back and hopefully more locations like this coming soon. read more

Food was incredible! Got the fried chicken and it was some of the best i've ever had. Will definitely come again!

You can not go wrong with this place. Best salads, best sandwiches, best plates. I am addicted to their western bbq steak salad. I order extra steak and oh my. It is the perfect taste combo. Fried onions, steak, lettuce, born, delicious dressing... I am hungry for it just by writing this review. I used to love the kale quinoa salad but it is not on the menu anymore. But here is what makes this place extra awesome, if you ask for it, they will make it for you anyway. Their mashed potato is absolutely delicious. The soup is usually tasty and fresh. You can not go wrong with all of the options they offer. Absolutely recommend this place! read more

Love Jack's Urban...always consistent! Best mac and cheese and custom salads! We typically do take out but dining in is just as great!

Phenomenal food. You can order different meats as a plate or sandwich. Literally it's Thanksgiving everyday at Jacks...Turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, amongst other delicious salad choices or side dishes. I especially love the sauce they use in their sandwiches. Very tasty! Beer is available-rotating cans and bottles + limited draft choices but nonetheless, we'll chosen to go with your meal. If you prefer wine, it's available, too. The service is friendly and always on point! I would highly recommend you try this place out. It won't disappoint! Outside seating is available, too. By the way, MIKE HESS BREWERY tap room is right across the parking lot from Jacks. Cheers, amigos! read more

My good friend Patti treated me to lunch here. The food was delicious and service even better. Austin and Marybeth treated me like family. I can't wait to come back. read more

Austin is a damn good manager! Just standing in line watching him work with his crew was impressive. He kept everything calm when things where getting extremely busy! Great communication and even better quality of food! read more

Jacks has delicious well made food served with care. I am especially thankful for their amazing gluten free options, especially the sandwich buns which are tasty and very bread like - almost imperceptible that they are gluten free. Their made to order and menu salads are fresh and balanced, with a variety of dressing options (all the traditional and my favorites- cilantro lime and honey mustard). My favorite is their gluten free bahn mi - especially when I can't get a gluten free version anywhere else. Their spicy urban fries and chicken tenders are a big hit with my kids, and their plated meals are delicious and taste like home. I am so thankful that Jacks is taking safety precautions so seriously and make them my top choice for take out during the pandemic. They care about their staff and customers and definitely deserve your business in this uncertain times. read more

I'm glad that I finally tried. I plan to begin ordering here regularly. As a vegetarian, I was pleasantly surprised there is an option to create your own salad; not just the standard tomato, cucumber, etc. but you choose your lettuce choice and a handful of toppings from a ton of options such as dried cranberries, eggs, walnuts, blue cheese crumbles, etc. to make it perfectly filling. There is also an option to double the dressing every place should do that. The Mac & Cheese was very tasty. The portions of each were large enough to divide into lunch and dinner. The salad also had fresh large croutons. The veggies were fresh, the blue cheese dressing was great. The packaging was clear, which for some reason I liked a lot more than typical white styrofoam. Also, I liked there was a doordash sticker sealing the top of the bag for delivery. read more

Hit or miss with this place. I've had their tri tip sandwich (yum), the chicken plate (ok) and the turkey plate (yum) and I like it enough to come back. Service is nice and friendly, and they let you sample items before selecting if you're unsure what to get. However, especially if ordering to go, make sure you get what you asked for. I asked if my turkey plate came with cranberry sauce on the side and they responded, "Of course!" I ended up driving home to find I have gravy on the side, but absolutely no cranberry sauce. So sad! As for sides, I like the standard stuff like mashed potatoes. Mac and cheese is ok too but I've had better. read more

Jacks Urban Eats - Walnut Creek - Turkey plate to go, with mashed potatoes and broccoli with cheese. Missing cranberry sauce though.. :( - Salad Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

We enjoyed our Asian chicken salads. It was a large serving for the price. It appeared that they might have substituted cut up sections of an orange instead of a mandarin orange. Otherwise, I will not only eat here again, I would order the same salad. read more

I catered sandwiches and salads for my event from Jacks. The customer service was great and the food delicious. It was so easy to order! Thank you Austin! read more

It blows my mind to see so many good reviews. Maybe they just dislike me and when they see my name on Doordash their like ohhh no. I've tried this place so many times hoping it was a simple error, but every time without fail my order is wrong, I'm missing ingredients, the containers are barely filled. I'm charged $14 sometimes more. I tried again tonight and my orders were crap. I won't be ordering again. read more

Jacks Urban Eats - Walnut Creek - Like seriously ? - Salad Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

i was so disappointed in lunch today 3/18/24. I ordered turkey sandwich on light rye. when server brought it was on roll. I told her I'd ordered rye. she tried to say I didn't. I asked my friend she also said I'd asked for Rye. server took back. The sandwich she brought back was toasted burnt over. Ruined my lunch basically. Terrible. My friends chicken salad was fine. i wondered if this was done on purpose. I will never go back. read more

I've never eaten at a jacks urban eats before this visit. They have a variety of sandwiches and salads. I built my own salad this visit. I was able to choose my greens, up to 6 toppings included in the price, dressing and for an up charge I ordered steak. There were so many options of toppings to choose from. They ranged from fruits, vegetable, protein. There were also so many dressings to choose from as well but I stuck with ranch for this salad. The ranch tasted house made. This was the perfect lunch. Big portions had me full all day. read more

Absolutely love their salads. Very friendly and helpful staff. I will definitely go back there again. read more

I LOVE JACKS!!! This is honestly such a go-to restaurant for us and has been for ages. I love that there's salad, sandwich, and side options. All are delicious, just depends what you're feeling. My all time favorite is the classic chicken sandwich. I'm embarrassed to admit how often. It's simple yet so delicious. Great side options but I love getting either the garlic fries or mashed potatoes. Also the TOFFEE COOKIES! Oh my goodness they're delicious. I almost don't want to say it here because I want to keep them all to myself. These are easily my top 3 favorite cookies in the world. My only complaint is when you order on DoorDash you can't pick which cookie flavor you want (they have other flavors outside of the toffee). So while the other cookies are good, I want to be able to pick the toffee ones! So sometimes you just hope you get the toffee but you end up getting something else, very sad. I hope they update/make this possible on the delivery apps. read more

Great food with fresh ingredients. Nice, casual ambiance. Looks like an airplane hangar inside. Pleasant staff. A good place for take out.

I'm a fan. Seems like this is the new wave of eateries. Freshly prepared sides, hand-carved tri-tip and turkey, freshly prepared roasted veggies, mash potatoes, complex salads. Casual dining, order at the pass, pickup and pay at the cashier and then sit down at your table with your number. We came here for lunch on a weekday, and I really like the space. It was open, and was a comfortable place to enjoy my lunch. There's an outdoor patio as well - but a bit chilly when we arrived so indoors it was. I ordered the tri-tip plate, mac n cheese for the kids, and a tri tip salad. I thought the mac n cheese side was a really good size, my two girls loved it. I managed to sneak a noodle, and the cheese was adult style quality cheese. Really good, I almost wanted to get another order for myself. The tri-tip was flavorful as expected, but a bit on the chewier side for my own liking, which is not entirely a bad thing, just preference. I guess I'm more a fan of pot roast than roast beef generally I'd say, since it was quite lean. My other side was a roast pumpkin w/ kale - which I would probably just order on its own. It worked really well together with my entree. The drinks area had an assortment of house created drinks like lemonade and teas, and they were quite refreshing. If I was in the area looking for a good open space and quality cooked food, I'd definitely head to Jack's Urban again. read more

Jack's is inside a plaza with Starbucks, AT&T, The Orchards, Stein Mart, etc. Shared parking lot. Not in Walnut Creek often but needed to get something at Dick's Sporting goods near by so went on Yelp and found this place. Indoor & outdoor seating. So you order at the front, they give you a number for your table and bring your food out. They offer salads, sandwiches, mac n' cheese, other sides, beer & wine. My fiance and I ordered a Pesto Chicken Sandwich, Urban Fries (small size) and a Cucumber Mint Lemonade. Total was about $20. The fries were crispy & delicious (blue cheese, spicy chili oil & chili flakes). Not a huge fan of blue cheese but it was a really good sauce mixed together with the fries. The Pesto Chicken sandwich tasted okay. It filled me up but I wouldn't say it was anything amazing or a must-try. The cucumber mint lemonade was a bit too tangy/sweet for me but I diluted it with some water. Overall, an A-OK place. read more

Man when I tell yall I had the best bbq tritip today I'm not lying . My guy Elvis did his thing. I will be coming back for 10 more so he better be ready! Keep up the good work! read more

I'm so happy to see Jack's Urban Eats migrate to the East Bay from the Sacramento area. YAY!!! Welcome to Walnut Creek. =) I have had sandwiches & salads at Jack's, and everything I've tried is delicious. But I always migrate back to my favorite, which is not even an official menu item - a small order of urban fries topped with a 6 oz side of tri-tip. YUMMY! The fries are topped with spicy chili oil, blue cheese and chili flakes, add a side of tri-tip and BAM! It's like a different version of carne asada fries. It's so delicious - a must try! At this location, there is plenty of seating inside and out. You order your food at the counter, cafeteria style, then your food is delivered to your table. Their side dishes are good too - I love their mashed potatoes and their mac & cheese. The staff is friendly & helpful. I definitely recommend this restaurant for casual dining and good eats. read more

I eat here often even though it is a little overpriced it's good food. However, tonight I ordered the blackened salmon salad which I've ordered several times and to my suprise the salmon was the smallest piece of salmon I've ever been served. It was like it was carved off a regular piece of salmon like you would do with a roast, so thin... like you would really serve this to somebody??? I don't mind spending money for good food but this was absolutely unacceptable for the price. Like I said, I've ordered this salad several times and the portion was two times bigger than this. I'm still giving them a 4 because their food is really good read more

This place is what I think of as a perfect lunch spot. Plenty of options from salads to sandwiches to even plated entrees with incredible sides. My go to is typically the buffalo sandwich, or lemon thyme chicken plate. CANT FORGET THE URBAN FRIES! The urban fries are unique and I've never seen them elsewhere, crispy fries with blue cheese chili flake and some kind of chili oil. They're to die for. Location has plenty of seating inside and out, great drink options, and even a few beers on tap. Service is order your food, pay, and then food is brought to you. Very quick efficient, and open kitchen style where you can watch your plate made in front of your eyes. I drive 30 min each way to visit this location! read more

Jack's Urban Eats has the best customer service I have ever experienced. They really make you feel like they value your business, so kind! Carlos in particular! I order food for work meetings on a regular basis and I have never had someone be so helpful as Carlos. He was able to make some changes to my order and take the stress of "meeting lunches" off my plate! The website is super easy to order from, and everyone at work is very excited when we order from Jack's Urban Eats, especially the Create Your Own Salad. Once again, a special shout-out to Carlos for his excellent customer service! read more

I'm a terrible yelper, and I got zero pictures of our food last night, I was too hungry! This is one of my most favorite "quick-sitdown" places, and it never disappoints. Our food is always the perfect temp, and the flavor is delicious. I rarely get anything but the Western BBQ Steak Salad, and it's just the best. Last night my niece got the chicken strips, which come with a very generous portion, and my little kids each got a side of Mac and cheese. Their Mac and cheese is delicious and super creamy, my kids love it. We topped it off with their sweet potato fries, which....just amazing. Also, their ranch dressing is delicious! But let's go back to talking about this salad. It comes on a bed of mixed baby greens that make the perfect spot for all the delicious toppings. It has garbanzo beans, kidney beans, jicama (yummmmm), fresh corn, and a fresh dill dressing (such an amazing dressing). They then put freshly grilled and hot tri-tip on top and then finish it off with crispy onion strings. It's my favorite salad, and I can never get enough of it!!! Like I said, I had my kids with me last night, and Austin was super kind to my son. My son was doing a "magic show," as a 5 year old does, and Austin played along and made my son feel special and listened to. Thanks, Austin! read more

Sadly have to go from 3 stars to 1. If you DoorDash, don't bother with any of the modifications or add ons (which you will be charged for). After driving there to get my order corrected when I wrote the previous review, I decided to give this place another try. It seemed to be effective if I called in to make sure they saw my order specs and included my sides. Well this time, EVEN CALLING TO CONFIRM was no use. It's a shame because I'll have a hard time giving this place another chance and all they need to do is establish some quality assurance and CHECK THE ORDERS!! I'm very irritated that my call didn't make a difference. Do not DoorDash unless you order the food exactly as it comes, and don't expect to receive your sides. Get it together Jack!!! read more

Amazing service; welcomed in the door even before the door shuts behind you. Greeted with an enthusiastic smile by the Owner, and he's adorably infectious- makes your dining experience just the BEST! The staff are professional, restaurant is micro clean, and the food SPECTACULAR... the price; even better - and YES they feed you!!! Highly recommend. Jack's Urban Eats is consistently YUMMY! read more

It's pretty dang good if I do say so. I had the bahn mi sandwich and shared 2 of us had the Banh Mi sandwich and hubby had the pesto chicken sandwich. The banh mi was pretty close to the traditional sandwich. We shared the urban fries and garlic fries. The urban fries were so good, make sure you try them at least once. read more

As far as "fast" food goes, this place is the best. I only call it fast food because of how quickly you will dine, not because of the menu. The menu is great although the choices are a bit limited due to the nature of the place, but I like their menu. You can review the menu online. The staff is also great and the place is kept quite clean. There's also a nice taproom (Mike Hess) across the parking lot plus a playground for little kids. read more

I have been wanting to try eating here for a while since I'm in the area frequently with my gym next door. My mom and I came in for lunch on a Friday and when we saw a sign advertising the blackened salmon salad we were both sold. We both agreed this is the best salmon salad we've ever had! We both finished the large salad and my mom said she wished she could eat that every day for lunch. Love the outside seating option with shade or sun seats. Staff was friendly! I'll definitely be back! read more
