The food here is first rate! I'm especially partial to the turkey plate, as well as the Chinese Chicken salad and the Reuben sandwich as well! The service as well as the employees are very cordial and professional . The ambiance appears to be very inviting. I always order my food to go. read more

I just paid $11 for a mayonnaise sandwich with some dry, overcooked steak and a slice of yellow tomato on it. Seriously, there was more mayonnaise than all other ingredients combined.so gross. Your employees need to care more about the food they're serving to people. read more

I ordered the pesto chicken sandwich and the bun was incredibly fresh. Atmosphere was cool, order up front. They have the salad bar where you order to choose ingredients for salads they mix. Salad portions are big, basically covering a huge plate. Most dishes are 10$ and under. The menu has a couple vegetarian options to choose from. read more

"I really love Jacks Urban Eats. Their Achiote Salad is my go-to, and I always come back for their amazing Jacks Urban Fries. The staff, especially Lucas, is super friendly and always makes sure I'm enjoying my meal." read more

LOVE their healthy plates and salad options but the prices are pretty high. Blackened salmon Cobb salad = $18-19 But it was delicious. The salmon was seasoned well, a bit on the salty side but it balances the fresh avocado, corn, tomatoes, spinach and lettuce. Lemon vinaigrette to go with it. Steak salad = $16 Tri tip over mixed greens, cranberries, red onion, and herb croutons with balsamic vinaigrette. Jack's is located at the orchards so I find parking in the 2nd level and going downstairs is fastest. We've also ordered delivery via door dash and it was fast. Really great option for a quick but healthy lunch. read more

Good flavors, but a bit expensive for what you're getting and not always executed great (the steak in my sandwich was chewy, a bit lacking in flavor, and way too thick). Plenty of better options around. read more

Fantastic service and excellent, consistent food quality. My husband and I struggle finding restaurants that we like where the kids can find food they like too. Jack's is a winner and always a favorite of everyone in our family. Nice, relaxed ambiance. We typically eat here at least twice a week. read more

Cool spot in Walnut Creek. Jacks Urban Eats is located in The Orchards at Walnut Creek. Jacks Urban Eats is a offspring from their popular restaurants in Sacramento. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very nice. Has a very comfortable feel to it. Im a big fan of sandwiches, and they knock it out of the park here. Their sides are not to miss too. They also serve local beers on tap. Definitely a great place to come with the family and have lunch or dinner read more

My wife was here before and said the salad was ok. So, we went again but both ordered sandwiches this time. Big mistake! I had the California trip-tip and it was likely the worst sandwich I had since I am living in the US. Hard, cold meat, nothing in it just meat and sauce, could bot eat it properly because you had to cut the meat, impossible to bite. Hardly any taste.... Very similar for my wife. My fries were ok though. Anyway, maybe a bad day or a bad order, but this one was bad! read more

I was done with my workout & once I walked out of crunch fitness I saw the sign JUE! I thought they have to have salads, it sounds like the UE, but individually owned. The moment I saw the eatery half full I thought hey it must be a great place so immediately I yelped the spot & saw it was something to try. I looked at the food photos and the menu, and knew I wanted the Western bbq steak salad after seeing pix and rave reviews about it. I looked at the price, $11.50 for all this?! Omgeee freshly made & great pricing. I didn't want carrots nor corn so they let me swap the item (WOW, nice other places don't let u do that) so I swapped for mushrooms & cucumber. It was a good portion & yep, I ate every bit of it!!! The dressing was a creamy dill flavor and oh so good! This place is open seating, so first come first serve. It's pretty clean and service was great. Customer service was fantastic. Tip: when you order a salad here and you're counting calories, request the dressing on the side. You can see from my salad and others salad pic that they drench a lot! I don't know how much dressing they add & I looked online for nutritional facts, I'm assuming even though it's a salad - this particular one could easily rack up 1300 calories. If the steak alone is maybe 500, the onion rings maybe 400 and depending on the amount of that dill dressing another 300, 100 towards the greens?! I'm just guessing though. It was yummy though. I wish they had a loyal Customer card but I'd eat here again bcuz I wanna try the Chinese chicken salad, the pesto chicken sandwich And those fries everyone talks about. read more

i love it here! mb, austin and the whole crew are always friendly. the urban fries are amazing! also, thank you so much for bringing the toffee cookie back! read more

Good food. Definately coming back to try the rest of the menu. You can customize your own salad or pick from the menu. Their salad portions are very generous. They offer a variety of salad and sandwiches. I like that they have a kids menu. I need to try all the sides they look delcious. I am a fan of their mac n cheese and the kids will love it too. I am surprised they don't have a kids meal for mac and cheese. Urban fries are tasty. I enjoyed the variety of lemonades. Cucumber lemonade was refreshing. They sell beer and wine. There is outside seating in addition to inside. Gets pretty busy but worth the wait in line. I went on a Friday night around 7 and the team serving worked so well together that the line went by fast. There is a parking lot but can get a little challenging. There wasn't clear signage for the bathroom sign for the men's bathroom. read more

I love this place! I got the buffalo chicken salad for lunch and it did not disappoint. I love the combination of flavors, i never wouldve thought that buffalo chicken tastes so good as a salad! I enjoyed the apples and walnuts in it as well. Since it was my first time here, one of the chefs let me taste the dressing (I have never had blue cheese dressing before, this is what this salad comes with) and that was nice. Not to mention, their mango iced tea is amazing. I'll be back! read more

I went here per the recommendation of a friend's gf. It was so so so so soooo good; I love their balsamic dressing they had for the salad and their sides are SOOOO good. I would go just for the sides tbh. The garlic fries were out of the world so good. My boyfriend and I had been nibbling on snacks around the area all day so we were pretty full already, but there was always enough room for their garlic fries read more

My sister and I purchase take out from here quite often. We favor the Chinese Chicken salad. The staff here is very friendly and professional. Since we've not dined in the restaurant, it would not be right to comment on the ambiance. However, the guests that I've seen dining in-house seem to be having a nice time. read more

Their Salads are AMAZING!! Ever since I first ordered their Create your own Salad with Steak, I've been back at least 5 times in two + weeks. I can't get enough of it. The portion size is good and the Steak is perfectly cooked. Very tender. And the blue cheese dressing is the best I've ever had at a restaurant! Homemade for sure. I will be back here again and again! read more

We used to eat here semi often as I like the Turkey and my BF liked the Asian chicken salad. We really went for the mango ice tea and the Royale cookies. They no longer serve the tea and cookies!! why? Why drop a winner? Sadly we don't eat there now. They do have good parking which in Walnut Creek is saying a lot. Bring back the tea and cookies!! If anyone knows the name of mango tea bags id like to try to find on Amazon read more

Always excellent food... and the service is also good. Several years after opening, this remains one of our favorite places to eat. On the rare occasion something is less than perfect, which is very rare... they fix it immediately. read more

I was in a hurry to grab lunch and needed it to be quick. The service was fast and efficient. I succeeded in ordering, and eating in less than 30 minutes. They have a nice selection of salads and sandwiches. So 4 stars for that. I had their version of the Banh mi sandwich - $9+. You pay when you order and take your number and sit down. The sandwich was 2 1/2 stars. The portion size is decent. But there was a lot of gristle in the beef..... I mean a lot. The flavor was okay. But having to pull the gristle out of my mouth repeatedly nearly every bite made it a mediocre experience. I may give it another chance but won't be ordering the banh mi ever again. I did see the salads at other tables. And the portion size was definitely generous. read more

I LOVE the buffalo chicken salad. IT IS AMAZING. Everything else is I've had is just ok. The ordering process slows down the line. People customize salads and take foreverrrr. Come here on off hours to avoid he lines. If you ever get a salad to go from here make sure to get the dressing on the side because they drench the salad in dressing. When you eat in, it's not too bad but if you let it sit it's a soggy mushy mess. Lots of parking in this new shopping center, secret extra parking in the back lol read more

Always a great place for lunch. Went after my son's big basketball win- wanted his tri tip and Mac and cheese! Brought grandma for the first time and she said her chicken sandwich was " the best one" she had eaten in a long time. Everyone loved it and will be back- we loved sharing it with the fam! read more

Friendly folks and great food. I was just passing through, but would probably make regular visits if I lived closer.

We ordered to go from Jacks Urban Eats the other night after a long day of painting and not wanting to make a meal. I had never been here before but my family has and loves it! I went with the BBQ tri-tip sandwich and added on some fries to share. Altogether this is 13 bucks before taxes. Which for the amount of steak and great quality of the meat, it is a steal! The sandwich was piled high with tender cuts of tri tip, chipotle mango bbq sauce, onion strings, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato and mayo on a chibatta roll. I loved the chipotle mango bbq sauce! It adds a little bit of sweet but with some smokeyness. Basically everything you ever wanted from a bbq sauce. Plus when you have a chibatta roll you know its going to be a great sandwich. Deliciousness requires a sturdy bread that only chibatta can provide. read more

My mom and I came in last night to order dinner coming home from Moraga. It was 8 by this time so some places were already getting ready to close. We came here after looking at the reviews and photos on yelp and thought we would give it a try. Items sounded good and looked good so we went for it. We came in and the establishment was clean no wait time at all. Very few people inside probably because of the late time. We knew we were going to order Togo so we could just get home after the long day. We walked right in and grabbed a menu, looked it over and had a hard time deciding what we were going to get. There were tons of great options for all different tastes. We ended up deciding to get the turkey Brie sandwich and an order of fries. The meat is carved in front of you. I think the turkey was a little dry for me so more sauce on the sandwich would have been great. With that I loved the sandwich. It was so tasty and had different flavors and textures to make it oh so yummy. The fries were pretty good as well. They were season just right. What I hate more is over seasoned fries. So these were so great. My mom and I shared the one sandwich and the fries and that was plenty enough food for the both of use. So yummy will definitely be back again to try something read more

With a new office location came a new set of restaurants to try and obsess over. Though a lot of my co-workers love this place beyond belief, I find it pretty average, but a good average. I've been here twice; once during lunch, and once during dinner. The dinner crowd was pretty tame, with only my best friend and I, plus a few other people, eating. During the lunch hour, the restaurant gets PACKED with a capital P. However, we were still able to get our food in a very reasonable amount of time. On both occasions, I ordered the Reuben sandwich, minus the Russian dressing. The sandwich tastes great, and I love that I now have a place where I can get a Reuben every day of the week if I wanted to. From the front, the sandwich looks packed, with both corned beef and sauerkraut. It's a little bit of a ruse, because the back of the sandwich has very little to nothing. The beef was good, and the sauerkraut was good. Hell, even the bread was good, so having so much of it in the back isn't a bad thing. Overall, it's a decent place. A little pricey, but decent nonetheless. read more

Jack's Urban Eats has proven to be a great addition to The Orchards shopping center. Time after time, I come here to enjoy a nice American style dish. This restaurant definitely comes into contention as being one of the better places to eat in the area. Jack's is trending and becoming a popular option due the healthier food menu options. The disclaimer is that Jack's is by no means a standout for American food. What you can rely on is the freshness of quality carved meat. They have a great selection of sandwiches and salads, including varying types of meats. More importantly, everything is made fresh to order! To balance out the proteins, there's a good menu for vegetables and sides. To add, they also have "kid food" like chicken tenders and mac & cheese which looks quite pleasing to the kids. Jack's is what you'd expect; decent portioned sized plates and what you'd expect when it comes to American food. They also have a large selection of wine which really differentiates this place from some of other American notable diners at this caliber and quality. Pricing is fair. This is definitely a "you get what you paid for" type of restaurant. read more

I think a lot of people don't realize this place is here bc it's not in the downtown area but I wish they did bc it's great! The people were there are all so incredibly friendly, it's nice to walk into a place where people put a smile on your face. I wanted all the ingredients from one of their sandwiches but in salad form and they made it no problem, even having me sample a couple different salad dressings that could taste similar to the sauce in the sandwich. It was tasty and a great price. I don't go to Jacks without getting their fries! This was the small and I could've eaten this as a meal in itself! They're some of the best fries I've had. A+ for food, beer, and staff. read more

I'm always seeking out new spots in Walnut Creek to try, that aren't necessarily in the midst of the madness that is downtown. Jack's Urban Eats is located in the The Orchards shopping center with plenty of free parking, a low key family crowd and fresh ingredients for healthy meals. It's a "cafeteria" style set up where you walk up to the station of your choosing-build your own salads or the sandwich/hot plate options. On a Friday night it was pretty buzzing but we were able to order quickly and find a table. They give you a number after ordering and you seat yourself. I tried the portabello mushroom sandwich and a side salad. It was a simple yet tasty dinner option. The quality ingredients made the difference from it just being "okay" to "excellent." My boyfriend got a chicken sandwich and plain fries-he's got simple tastes and was very happy. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying a build your own salad option. There were a few dishes being served around me that looked quite good. Finally-cleanliness and staff-these were A+! The owners/managers have done an outstanding job of hiring great people and training them to be personable, customer focused and to keep the dining area impeccably clean. We were also checked on a few times by staff who were busing nearby tables. A great new WC spot that I am looking forward to visiting again. read more

I am excited to have another place to go eat that accommodates strict food diets and allergy restrictions. I will start by saying that there are many options for all types of eaters. They have excellent sandwiches, build your own salads with fresh ingredients, and local beers from 21st Amendment and Calicraft (which is just around the corner from them). I tend to build my own salad and add a meat like chicken or steak. The prices are not too bad (around $11 per salad with a protein added included into that price). The location is nice for us since we live so close and there really aren't many comparable places in the Clayton, Concord, WC area. The service is totally adequate, although nothing particularly special. I enjoy the fact that they have plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy our fine California weather! Whether you want fresh salad, filling sandwiches or yummy and comforting Mac n' Cheese, give this place a shot. read more

Jack's is new to me. Sac-based. genre-traditional comfort food. offers salads, sammies, sides, fries and chicken strips, ,plates,sides. ordering Chipotle style. would be helpful if menu was visible. saw one. grabbed it, glanced, decided on a sammie. lots of seating inside and out. no signs where to line up. so i went to cashier who sent me to other end. got a slip ordering sammie to go. went back to cashier, paid, waited for food. eats: reubeb-n.y. style(9.95) -"lean corn beef, swiss cheese, sauerkraut, russian dressing, whole grain mustard on grilled rye bread". -lots of meat, corn beef very salty, sauerkraut very sour. nice grilled bread. piece of jalepeno and pickle spear. interesting. -so so value. food mix needs tweaking. fabulous service. sign on net: "Let Justice be done thru Science" (sfgate). read more

Can't forget the fries and ranch! I'm picky with ranch and love theirs. We will continue to come because the food and service is awesome!!! read more

The one in Sacramento was a bit better imho. Would come back every now and then to try new stuff.

Yikes! It was beautiful day in Walnut Creek, perfect for outdoor patio eating so stopped by this spot. Decor looked amazing. Outdoor patio looked friendly and inviting. Thinking if this place has cool decor, the food must be good. I went and chose the Banh Mi sandwich, with sweet potato fries and a side of Mac n cheese. I'll cut to the nitty gritty, the Banh Mi sandwich was definitely not your typical Vietnamese type on a French roll. I was expecting a French roll with your basic cilantro, cucumber, carrot sticks and peppers. The meat they used was carne asada. And they gave me a pickle on the side? Who eats a pickle with a Banh Mi sandwich? interesting. A pickle is served on the side for a burger or club sandwich, not a Banh Mi. The sandwich tasted like a Big Mac on a regular burger bun, If anything it tasted like a Mexican Torta sandwich. The portion size of the sandwich was good for a kid, not an adult. If I get your typical Banh mi Sandwich that you get at any Vietnamese establishment, I normally get full. The sweet potato fries were very salty to my needs. I should of said "light seasoning or salt", so be careful when you get these fries. And OMG the side of Mac n cheese. I can make that at home. Tasted like Kraft Mac N Cheese. No flavor at all. They actually forgot about the Mac n Cheese side at first and only brought out the sandwich and fries, so I had to go in there and tell them. They apologized but still. Don't waste your time on the Mac n Cheese. Straight trash and the sauce was watery. If I ever think about coming here again, I will def. try the salads that everyone's raving about in the comments. read more
