Not great. My husband ordered the Korean BBQ salad and it had so much dressing it was like soup. Everything we had was just meh. read more

I like this place! Clean, many healthy choices! The salmon salad is big enough for 2 if you share an appetizer too! I love that you can customize your salads too! Food comes quickly and service is friendly. What is there not to like? read more

After much debate we decided to give this place a try since it was close to home and a lot of places were closed on a Monday in addition to it being Labor Day. I had a feeling It may fail to impress since the set up is similar to Tender Greens and I didn't care of that place either. When we walked in we grabbed a menu to decide what we wanted to order. The registers are at the front but you have to actually walk passed them to the end to place your order. It was a bit confusing. We ended up ordering: 1. Build your own salad (pick 6 items) with Caesar dressing and add tri tip. 2. Tri tip sandwich (by itself sides are extra) 3. Kids grilled cheese with fries 4. Kids tri tip with mashed potatoes We also got 2 fountain drinks with our meals and it came out the about $41 & change. Ouch that was an expensive meal and it was mediocre at that. I don't mind paying for good food but it was under whelming. I couldn't taste the dressing on my salad so it was bland and the tri tip was not seasoned at all. My hub's tri tip sandwich was "alright" meaning edible but not great. I'm guessing it's not seasoned either. My son liked his grilled cheese but hey, it's grilled cheese how can you mess that up? Overall it was disappointing and we definitely won't be back again. We gave it a try and now we know. read more

Enjoyed the food we had at Jacks. I had a wonderful build-it-yourself-salad with all my favorite veggies plus a delicious Mac and cheese and Sis had what she thought was called Korean beef bowl. Unfortunately we didn't really appreciate our meals because someone had left a small dog locked in a car and we were highly distracted as the dog kept jumping at the window and whining. The windows were open about an inch and the moon roof was open enough that Sis thought about pouring water on the little guy to help cool him. After waiting 20 minutes to see if anyone came, we finally called authorities to report the situation and an officer arrived shortly thereafter. It was already 90 degrees outside and much hotter inside the car even with windows open as most people know happens by now. There were quite a few businesses around the area so we didn't know where the owners were, but they finally came outside from Jacks when they saw the officer. They removed the dog, gave it some water and finished their meal sitting outside as we were. So all was well. Sis gave them hard looks so we're pretty sure they knew we had called the officer, but nothing was said and they left. We were so glad there was a happy ending to this situation. We ended up taking leftovers home for dinner and they were still tasty. Someday we'll give Jacks another go when there's no distractions. read more

It is VERY hard to please my tribe as one person is a carnivore that likes greasy American classics, one avoids acidic foods/is lactose intolerant, another doesn't eat seafood, and the list goes on. My complicated group not only found something they liked, but the pickiest of eaters said they would eat there again = win! First impressions: Wow, this is place is tucked alllll the way in the back of a busy shopping center! There was a decent amount of parking but it was hard to find a spot around 1pm on a Monday. This is a very popular place for families and day workers, thus be prepared to circle a bit and it might be better to order ahead online! When I entered, there was a tiny laminated menu that was hard to read for the aging adults in my group. It also didn't help that the afternoon soon glaring through the windows obscured our view. Maybe the menu could be placed some where else that doesn't block the entrance and could be better viewed in flat table than a wall...? There was also another larger main menu at the ordering counter, but it felt awkward to order due to the fact the employee was pushing to get our order because of the lunch crowd ebbing and flowing behind us. Once we placed our orders, we sat down to a clean booth where we put our number on the table. The utensil and soda fountain area was stocked and very clean. After a 7-10min wait, 3 of 4 dishes came out, and we only had to wait another 2-3 minutes more for our last dish. The overall quality of the food was just okay. The food did not come out very hot, just warmed enough after sitting on the line in containers, waiting to be scooped out on a plate. The presentation for most of our plate specials was nothing spectacular - just meat, potatoes, and seasonal veggies (I ordered the Thyme Lemon Chicken Plate). Overall, this an okay place to eat at. Nothing wow, but good to please a crowd with different food preferences. read more

This review is long over-due. Jack's is located at the Corner of Ygnacio Valley and Oak grove road at "The Orchards" Shopping Plaza in Walnut Creek. This place is amazing in many ways. Fresh ingredients, affordable prices for a meal and friendly customer service. I have dined in here a few times and have ordered takeout several times. They have the BEST fresh carved meats. A whole fresh turkey, Chicken and Prime Rib. They carve the meat in front of you (made to order) and its piping hot. Aint nothing up in here microwaved! You can either get a plate, salad or sandwich. They have soup selections too. You don't have to wait for Thanksgiving to have your home cooked turkey and mash on the side! Comfort food at its best! My favorite is the build your own salad which you can choose 6 fresh toppings and the dressing of your choice *without any protein added*. The salad is a enough to have for leftovers the next day. The ingredients taste fresh and everything is seasoned well.The salad comes to less than $10 dollars which is always a winner in my book. And dare not the order the mouth watering cartwheel flipping socks almost falling off your freshly pedicured feet Urban Fries which come drizzled with the BEST spicy chili oil topped with blue cheese and chili flakes. I mean who wants plain boring fries? These fries are so so good! I have to control myself and only order the half size. The garlic fries are bomb too but the Urban Fries took it home for the win baby. Parking is plentiful, they have a clean facility with a nice restroom. The staff is young so make sure you state what you would like to order clearly and double check your order for accuracy. I had a little hiccup with a missing item, but it was settled amicably. I would recommend this place to everyone! Oh and they have the best strawberry lemonade! read more

BBQ chicken sandwich was so delicious! Super fresh, moist not dry, and their bbq sauce added is the magic touch. Update: So I went today, 4/02/19! Their turkey berry is wonderful, but please go back to the sliced grain bread! It is not AS GOOD and the bread made the sandwich very heavy! Def will not order that again! read more

Unbeknownst to us, my husband and I arrived at Jacks Urban Eats 5 minutes after closing time and yet we received professional service by the friendly staff. The food was just delicious and very fresh tasting. Hats off to the crew and particularly Carlos who was especially friendly and welcoming! We will definitely return ( but next time before closing!) read more

I loooove Jacks Urban Eats! Since COVID-19, I've been ordering online which makes the process super easy and safe! For dinner last night, we decided to have a hearty salad! We customized our salads and ordered family size garlic sweet potato fries. My salad included 2 chicken strips and onion rings which made the salad so indulgent! I added the cilantro and lime dressing to my salad. The sweet potato fries were delicious, but even more yummy with the added garlic! Overall, I recommend Jacks and I grave their salads all the time. I can't wait for my next visit! read more

Food, ambiance, and service were all amazing! We have had Jack as our most fabulous server the last two times... awesome!

I used to love Jack's Urban Eats, it was my go to. I have a gluten allergy so I have limited options to quality gluten free sandwiches. As of the past 6 or so months, there has been a great decline in the quality of the food. 1- most times I have called to place an order they're out of the GF rolls. 2- the times I have had a salad they have been pretty unfulfilling, lacking meat. 3- the garlic fries used to be loaded with garlic and flavor and now are just grease and sadness I write this review in the hopes that Jack's can go back to the qualify they once had so I can continue to be a customer and hopefully edit this review to something positive. read more

Came in with a few friends on a Friday night about an hour before they closed (sorry!) - the place was pretty packed! Nice and bright inside and great lighting for food pictures haha. The ordering process is much like Chipotle, except the staff here staff seems friendlier and the food has more variety! Small menus are provided at the front of where the line starts, order your food over the counter, get given a ticket to bring up to the register, pay, then find a seat and your orders get brought over to you. Altogether my friends and I ordered two plates of Urban fries, sweet potato fries, an oven roasted turkey plate, a turkey sandwich, and a Chinese chicken mandarin salad. The urban fries were AMAZING. Perfectly cooked, a little on the spicy side but not overwhelming. Sweet potato fries you can't mess up. Turkey is easy to mess up, but my friends said the turkey sandwich and oven roasted turkey plate were surprisingly moist and not dry like most turkey turns out. The oven roasted turkey plate also came with Mac and cheese, which is my friend's favorite. Yum!!! I have to say my Chinese chicken mandarin salad wasn't anything special, but it was just a salad so what'd I expect haha. Wish there were more mandarin pieces! Still good though, and they gave me a large portion :) Overall the place is clean, bright, and fairly popular! I'd love to come back and try out more of their menu. Wish they stayed open at least until 10! Cool spot for sure. Thanks! read more

I used to love this place but this is getting ridiculous. Every time I get a salad now, they forget main ingredients. Every Single Time! Today my $16 Salmon Cobb salad was missing the blue cheese, had barely 1/3rd of an egg and maybe a teaspoon of corn. It was just a bunch of overly sized lettuce, avocado and radish with a small piece of salmon. Why overpay for a salad when they CONSTANTLY can't seem to get an order right??????? read more

The food is pretty good. I've been getting salads here for over a year now, and I've always enjoyed the oversized, stuffed to-go containers full of delicious greens. Sometime within the last couple of months, however, the salads (and containers) have shrank. I used to get a salad and have very little room in the container, and have enough for a meal and a snack - now, though, the (smaller) container is just under half full, leaving me wanting. The prices have not changed, so you're paying more for less. I also got a turkey plate tonight that has less turkey than usual, which is disappointing. I still love their "build your own" salads, and will be back, but probably not as often since the value has changed. read more

I'd give Jacks 10/10 if I could -- this is one of my absolute favorite restaurants! Their salads are fire, and I'm not even a salad girl. I love their build your own salads ($10.50 for greens, 6 toppings, 2 dressings) because everything is so fresh and their portions are super generous. My boyfriend loves their impossible taco bowl (which just went up to $14.25, phew) and we always have to share sweet potato fries, mac and cheese, and/or a chocolate chip cookie. The service is quick and consistently efficient + friendly. They have a spacious indoor dining area and plenty of outdoor seating. read more

I warily agreed to eat lunch here today when my wife suggested it. I haven't particularly enjoyed eating here the last few times so I must admit that, despited being close to home, Jack's Urban Eats hasn't been top on my list of lunch spots. I'm going to have to reassess and may frequent the establishment more often, though, as the Spicy Buffalo Chicken Sandwich I had today was absolutely delicious. Whereas the chicken was in my opinion too dry last time I was here, the chicken this time was juicy, tender, and delectable. I'm eager to come back and try their Banh Mi again and will probably venture back to try their Ruben and California Cheesesteak. Perhaps Jack's Urban Eats merely needed to get through the growing pains, or perhaps I was just unlucky the last few trips here... It's worth mentioning that whatever they did, it works... The eatery was packed this lunch, something that most definitely was not the case the last few times I came. Thanks, Jack's Urban Eats! I'll definitely be back. read more

AWESOME!!! The food here is amazing!!! My favorite is the Steak Salad and my husband loves the Thyme Chicken. The food is fresh with huge quantities and the employees are always happy and helpful. One time I heard a employee asking the delivery person to do two separate deliveries instead of one as one order had sauces and the food would get soggy. This is what I call amazing service. The place is clean and the service is always prompt and friendly. You have to try this place out you won't be disappointed. read more

I'm not a big fan of all these cafeteria style restaurants for some reason this shopping center likes the casual dining. Jack's Urban eats is another cafeteria style order Get your own beverage Pick silverware from containers on a counter Pick up your own napkins Bring a wipe with you to clean the sticky off the table Some on brings the food they literally look at the people and set a plate in front of them lol profiling vat it's best Food was very good I had the kale salad outstanding My wife had the portobello sandwich also outstanding Did have someone pick up the plates when finished Check was around $25 for two at dinner Overall I'm not sure they can do much more Other then give you utensils when you order and wife the tables down better outside Inside was much cleaner Would like to see calories on the menu Cafeteria style eating with good product Will most likely return in the future read more

This place could be so good but they never get an online order right. My last order had extra apples and artichokes its right on the receipt but not on my salad. Seems like I received an entire red onion though.. yuck. Just can't go anymore. Maybe instead of trying to be fast they try and get the order right.

A great fast casual restaurant that has a broad variety of offerings to satisfy everyone in the family. They have salads, sandwiches, and plates. Each time I've been in I've had a sandwich (pesto chicken & cajun chicken) that is made to order with quality ingredients. The portions are a decent size, but I do think a side should be included with their price range. To add fries or a salad is a few extra dollars. The food comes out fairly quickly and has a comfortable dining area to eat there or take it to go. They also have some nice local beers on tap or you can take it to the new brewery across the street. read more

Great food and service! My kids love the food too. A great Friday night treat when I don't wanna cook ;)

This place never disappoints. I usually get the tritip sandwich or the Buffalo sandwich. Either one is on point, gottah have the fries on the side and don't forget that vitamin water acai blueberry pomegranate flavored. By the time you're done, you'll be in a food coma and would need a 3 hour nap to bring you back to life read more

I said that I'd never been here; it's my first time since I was passing through the area. The two gentleman running the register and appear to be running the place gave me a warm welcome as a first time customer and great recommendations on food and drinks. Even gave me a recommendation to try a brewery down the street. Great place that I found while passing through the area! Highly recommend! If I lived in the area, I definitely would be a regular. read more

Just recently got the opportunity to try their Salmon Salad and I have to say, the salmon was incredible! Perfectly grilled and so fresh that my dog, who loves salmon, did not even know I was eating salmon and did not bother me. The dressing that was served with the salmon needs to be bottled, seriously. All ingredients in the salad, including the amazing fresh and hearty avocado, made this an incredible Urban eat from Jacks. Thank you so much for filling my belly with health, wealth, and happiness! This is a definite repeat order! read more

The food is great. Amazing options. I'm gluten sensitive and have had terrible reactions on every single occasion I've been there (6 or 7 times).

Build your own salad is always a win!!! Kids tri tip was cooked perfectly, and an amazing deal and huge portion.

Nice cheap restaurant with good food choices. I really wish you could do half sandwich/half salad combo because I wanted to try a sandwich and salad. You wait in line and order your food then choose your seats whether you want to sit indoors or outdoors. Seating is first come first served. There is an area with soft drinks/tea & lemonades available. You are given a number and they serve the food to your table. The service was quick and the food was really good. I got the chicken pesto sandwich with a small side of garlic fries. My friend got the Banhmi sandwich with a side of fries. We both got the mango unsweetened tea and mixed it with the strawberry lemonade. We were both more than full and still have half of our sandwich and fries left to take home. I can wait to come back here again and try out more food from the menu. read more

I've been going to Jack's since it opened. Jacks used to have decent food. I just had the trip tip, mashed potatoes, gravy and Brussel sprouts. Second time ordering these same items in three weeks. Terrible tonight and terrible three weeks ago. The mashed potatoes and gravy were like water. No flavor. Runny. Mostly fatty trip tip. I won't be going to Jack's anymore. I understand Covid and food shortages may be a factor, but how about cutting corners without affecting the quality of the product you provide? No more Jack's for me. read more

Wow! Tonight is the night before Thanksgiving and we cheated . We order 2 white meat turkey plates with extra cranberry sauce , mashed potatoes and stuffing. I told my partner I would place them in the fridge for tomorrow. Omg! It smelled so good . Not gonna happen lol .We are so glad we did . Exceptionally tender and juicy turkey . Perfect fluffy potatoes with the skins tenderized inside . The stuffing nicely seasoned . Looks like that Buttercup Blueberry pie is gonna be for breakfast. Bless you Jack's .
