My first time eating at Jack's Urban Eats. Located in a strip mall and parking was a bit challenging even around 4:00 pm. There was 12 of of us and some ordered salads and the others ordered sandwiches. Everything looked fresh and delicious. I am only reviewing my order of Reuben NY Sandwich and fries. The Reuben sandwich was really good. Good portion and tender. After I got home and looked at my receipt I noticed I was charged a full order of fries instead of the $3.95 fries that you get when ordering a sandwich. Wish I had looked at my receipt before I left! I contacted Jacks Urban Eats and asked about being charged for the fries as full order and Jacks took care of it and refunded me and apologized for the mistake. Great service and communication from Jacks!

Our 19th hole was here after a round of golf at nearby Boundary Oaks golf course. The 12 of us arrived around a little before 4pm today Wednesday. Ample seating. The ordering process was up at the counter. Pay and you're given a tent card with a #. Your food is brought to you. What hubby & I ordered- * he went with the carnitas bowl * me with the steak salad. We switched halfway. Both dishes were great. Fresh ingredients and the meat was very flavorful. We each also got draft craft beers. Went well with what we had to eat. Located in a strip mall where parking was a little challenging.

Always a fan of Jacks Urban Eats! This place offers an assortment of items to choose from - mostly sandwiches, soups, salads, and mac and cheese. We always get the Urban Fries - 100% a must. Fries with blue cheese and some spices. The cheese is melted and blends sooo well with the flavors. The smaller portion is more than enough for two people BBQ Tri-Tip sandwich - really good and a good amount of meat in there. It comes with a pickle. I do wish for the sandwiches they would offer a side considering the price. Overall very happy.

This was my first time trying Jack's Urban Eats, and it was pretty good! For food, I got a classic tri tip sandwich. I thought the tri tip itself was pretty great. The meat had a nice chew, without being dry or overcooked. The mustard sauce was super tangy but also sweet and delicious. The bun was also perfectly soft. My wife got the chicken Caesar salad. Everything about the salad seemed very fresh. The chicken was moist and flavorful, the croutons were crunchy, buttery, and garlicky. The veggies were very crisp and fresh. My wife didn't love the dressing--it was a bit on the bland side for her. But it's possibly her favorite Caesar salad in the area so far. I also loved the entire vibe of the place. Pretty cozy, but it will get loud once it gets packed. There's a great variety in the beverages, including fresh lemonades and teas. Being able to grab your own utensils is great too. Overall, we'll definitely be coming back to try more things on the menu. It looks like there's a lot of tasty--and pretty healthy--stuff!

Solid place for custom salads, sandwiches and hearty dinner plates. Reminds me of a place named Plutos that's no longer around. You order at the counter and staff are super nice. The meats, vegetables and breads are good quality. I had their holiday sandwich special with carved turkey, cranberry sauce and Brie cheese on whole wheat. Really good sandwich. The seating area has booths and standard tables. There's also outdoor seating.

Came here for a quick lunch and enjoyed it. The parking lot is a bit crazy and very busy. They have lots of indoor seating and some tables outside with umbrellas. You order first, then sit down with your number. Food came out quick. We had sweet potato fries, chicken Caesar, and the Chinese chicken salads. Everything was good - lots of chicken.

Stormy M.

A great variety of salads are available here, as well as the option to make your own. The ingredients were mainly fresh (not the strawberries) and the proteins we chose were well prepared. Orders are taken at the counter and then you can find your seat. They have about equal amounts of seating inside as outside. The people working there were super nice and the service was fairly quick even though they were in the middle of their lunch rush. Quick note: we parked upstairs and the first elevator let us out right next to the restaurant.

Glenn L.

We had the BBQ Chicken Bowl and the grilled salmon salad. Both were good. The bowl had a nice rice base with a great mix of veggies with the fresh grilled chicken and a great BBQ sauce. The salad was good, with lots of radishes. Overall, everything was fresh tasting.

Love Jacks! My trip this time was underwhelming... I'd say don't order togo and just eat it there. I tried the Tri-tip for the first time and it was chewy and didn't have much flavor... wouldn't recommend. Also, fries were soggy and not enough chili or blue cheese sadly. Man, I really love this place! But it didn't hit the mark this time. Cashier was super sweet!

Casual atmosphere, order at the counter. Friendly, efficient staff. My Achiote Chicken Salad was fabulous. Chicken was juicy. The salad portion was great, with lots of kale, and crunchies. Great salad dressing as well. The French fries were also good.

Kim P.

I was looking for a "healthy" spot to eat lunch and found it here on yelp since I was in the area. The inside has an industrial feel, was clean and had a decent amount of seating. The staff were friendly also. I usually get chicken over steak dishes wherever I go but I love a good chimichurri. This bowl was so fresh, delicious and filling! Definitely hit the spot!!

The food tastes so clean, fresh and healthy, I am so glad I found this place!!!! Is one of those places where you stand in line to order your own food and they hand you a number and bring it to your table. Is very casual. I ordered the Achiote Chicken with red quinoa on a bed of kale and cabbage, with fresh corn, tomatoes, queso fresco, crispy garbanzo beans and pickled radish. I had them throw in some freshly made jalapeno peppers that are too die for!!! The time after that I had them add fresh avocado, yum!!! And the salad dressing that comes with the salad I cannot get enough of. Anyhow is my new go to place. On a nice evening I think I will get a friend, order at Jacks and carry the food over to the the patio dining area of the Hess Brewery where they have a nice patio area (ambiance ) and selection of beers on tap. Jacks said if I get my table at the brewery they will walk the food over to the brewery for me!!! I found the place after getting a wonderful pedicure at Gaia ( another new GEM!!! ) just a few parking spaces away. read more

I recently discovered Jacks Urban eats through DoorDash and I love it. We have order it in the office multiple times since then. Every time I order I get something new because everything on their menu looks delicious. My fav is the Bah mi sandwich. ( I did order the steak salad, which the meat was too rare for me so I had to microwave it. Now I know to order it well done, but the salad was still good.) I've also ordered the Ruben sandwich, Buffalo salad and pesto sandwich, looking forward to the next order. read more

Jack's!!! I was beyond excited when I discovered the Jack's I know and love from Sactown was opening up a spot in the WC! I go out of my way to visit this location to get my salad fix. There are so many options and if you want to be bad their fries and Mac n cheese are quite tasty as well. The service is quick and the food is delicious. It's a little pricy for lunch if you order more than one item, but totally fair for dinner. If you're in the mood, they serve beer and wine as well. When I'm in the mood for a hearty salad with fresh ingredients and delicious protein, this is where I'm headed! read more

Well I came in here for lunch on Friday, prior to this I bought a side of Mac N cheese and I really enjoyed it so I decided to enjoy a plate the next day. Both times that I came in I was always greeted really well! There is no shortage of kindness nor smiles. One of the things I did not find well was the tri-tip. I found to be really raw and it was hard to enjoy it while eating. I am not sure if I am able to ask for it to be cooked more yet if that is an option then I will go for it the next time. read more

I've eaten twice in the last 1.5 weeks since they've opened, and LOVE this restaurant. You must check out their Urban fries - drizzled with blue cheese sauce and hot oil, and the fries are crispy-salty-hot goodness! Even without the toppings, their fries are top notch. Sandwiches; tried the Banh Mi; WOW sooo good! The second visit: although I was tempted to order the Banh Mi again, I ordered the Pesto Chicken. I've never had better chicken. Moist, flavorful, topped with pesto, smoked cheese, and grilled onions - such an excellent sandwich! Family had steak salad, and the Thai salmon salad - they raved about both. Because you order "cafeteria style", food comes up as you order it. Not everybody gets food delivered at exactly the same time; salads are done immediately, and sandwiches take just a few a few extra minutes. Prices are very reasonable for the outstanding fresh and delicious quality of food, will make this place a regular weekly outing! read more

The inside is super cute and they had delicious lemonades - strawberry and cucumber mint lemonade! Yummy. My salad took a little while to come out which I found odd since it was just a salad.

Yard House

This is my second visit to a Yardhouse, and the first to this location, although everyone else in…read morethe family has been here before me. Oh well... The location is very easy to get to, but parking is a challenge, and it was busy when we arrived; by the time we left, the line was gone! Still, we waited about 10 minutes for a party of 5, and we were seated at a nice large table. Our server, Cecelia A., quickly greeted us and took drink orders while we perused the extensive menu. There were some new items I came across, so I had my work cut out to limit my newfound desires. Ultimately, we ordered a few appetizers and some entrees, although some served cross purposes! We started with some boneless Ancho BBQ wings, truffle fries, onion ring tower, cheese curds, and then moved on to chicken nachos, a couple of kids' pepperoni pizzas, a shiitake garlic noodles, a Gardein adult mac 'n' cheese, and a BBQ bacon burger. The apps are quite large here, more so than I expected, and the cheese curds were a favorite along with the wings. The onion rings disappeared as well, but the consensus was they weren't up to Red Robin quality; they were good, just different with the parmesan. The truffle fries were garlicky, which I loved, and shiitake garlic noodles, although listed as an app, were my entree, and they were amazing! Very tasty, with lots of mushrooms and a garlic presence that was not overpowering. Would definitely get it again! The Gardein mac 'n' cheese was large as well, with lots of Gardein chicken in almost every bite. But the nachos - they were enormous! So big that the guy who ordered them didn't even try his BBQ bacon burger; that went home for a later meal! And the kids' pepperoni pizzas were also large, and with fries, were easily an adult meal as well. And we took home almost a whole pizza! Too many good apps filled most of us up before the entrees arrived. The service was great, the food great, the ambiance great, and I look forward to trying more Gardein options. If you are looking for tasty and hearty vegetarian options, look online first, for the website shows the Gardein options in their own section. On the printed menu, these same items are listed below the "regular offerings" as an option, and so it is difficult to find them and know what Gardein options are available for different items. A great meal, looking forward to next time. But not so much food!

The ahí salad didn't come out until the very end when we had finished the other 3 dishes. It also took a while to flag down a server for napkins and utensils. The food itself was pretty good! There were lots of friend groups and families sitting around us. There is lots of parking available in the shopping center.

Today we went for lunch with my family because one of my friends recommended it !! I'm so glad we did. It felt homemade ( good quality ingredients) and generous portions! I tried Kale salad my husband tried their steak salad and our son ordered the tri tip steak sandwich with garlic fries. As soon as we entered we were nicely surprised by clean happy environment! Menu was easy to figure things out quickly ( I hate when they give you a dictionary size rather than a simple menu ) and by the time we got to our table our orders started coming. So to sum it up : clean healthy yummy happy fast generous and affordable!! I could not ask for more We will be there again soon !!! read more

Jack's Urban Eats is my go to place, and I come here almost every week for their delicious chimichurri steak. It never disappoints, and the quality is always consistent. The staff is always friendly, and the service is fast, which makes it an easy and reliable choice. You really can't go wrong with anything you order here. Another plus is that there's a parking lot, making it convenient to stop by. The inside of the restaurant is decorated with a lot of aviation themed items, which makes it look really cool and adds to the overall experience. Overall, a solid spot that I keep coming back to. read more

Maybe I ordered the wrong thing. I got a spicy buffalo chicken salad and was thoroughly disappointed. It was a good size salad with very little substance. Two fairly small chuncks of chicken with no kick at all. The dressing was extremely watery and not sure how it was called a blue cheese dressing as there was no flavor to it at all. My wife tried some and had to ask what kind of dressing was on it and she didn't believe it was blue cheese. The staff was friendly and it was quick to grab and take out but for the price, I would have expected a lot more. read more

It was a fascinating and enjoyable experience. The hospitality was excellent, and some of their full-bodied wines were served. Although you can bring food from the café, the tasting room does not serve food. I definitely recommend spending some quiet time outside with your favorite glass of breathing wine, observing the hummingbirds. The winery features a lovely, new, air-conditioned hall that can accommodate large events such as weddings and festivals. I would definitely suggest this restaurant and will return for more. Thank you very much. read more

I always make it a point to eat at Jacks every time I'm in Sacramento, and am so stoked to see them in the East Bay! The food is ALWAYS fresh & absolutely delicious, and plenty of it. Huge variety of choices, too - literally something for every palette (or diet, or craving). Even the SIDES are spectacular, seriously. Fun, friendly atmosphere, and they get you fed quick even when it's busy - no sitting around with a dang beeper for "about a 45 minute wait". Jacks is the bomb. Go get some now. read more

What not to love. Super fresh food just the way you want it. No disappearing act in the back to assemble my meal. Love that sandwiches don't come with fries. That way if I am feeling like a side, I can add something. I hate when a restaurant has a sandwich with fries but if you want a salad instead it is an upcharge - or they don't give you a break if you take the fries off. Favorites right now!

We love this place! Easy and quick, but all fresh. My favorite thing about it is that I can build my own salad. You get 5 (or 6?) options and often it's exactly what suits my palate to be able to be so flexible. The French fries are great too and it's nice you can get a glass of wine with your meal. Sitting outside is a bonus, just too bad it's right on top of the parking lot but that's the way the whole shopping center is designed. read more
