The service was pleasant. The establishment was clean. It actually was not loud that day, for the ones that are not fond of loud noises. We usually get wings and loaded fries. So glad we decided to try seafood platters it was amazing. Plenty left over. read more

We came in on a weekend while apartment hunting to grab something quick and maybe watch some football. Perfect location because they have plenty of tvs and football was on all of them. We ordered the hot honey chicken sandwich and 20 grilled wings, half with lemon pepper on them and I believe the other half was tossed in buffalo sauce. This was probably the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. It was perfectly cooked. It wasn't tough to bite and it was tasty. The fries were great as well. The wings were cooked well, but we had to ask for additional lemon pepper seasoning because they went very very light on it. Overall good experience. read more

5/3/23: It is my first time here. There's plenty of parking & the hostess was friendly. She sat us in a booth & there are tv's everywhere to keep you entertained. The waitress was quick and very friendly. She brought my food out exactly as requested. I eat everything plain & many restaurants mess that up. She didn't. My burger was perfect and seasoned well. I enjoyed my first visit here & I am sure it won't be my last. I recommend this location. read more

Cool place. Sat at the bar. The Firecracker shrimp appetizer was a lot larger than I thought it would be! They were spicy and crispy with the right amount of sauce. The fried pickles came in a good sized portion as well. read more

Food was really good. Neil was an awesome server. Not sure why the reviews are not so good. Don't hesitate to eat here.

Visited with my family of 6. Parking lot could be repaved, but ample space. Immediately greeted and seated. Dining room dim and fun atmosphere. What you would expect from a sports bar. Waitress was present and pleasant. Menu has lots of options. We got 4 apps and a few drinks. Food was solid. Everything was good, but nothing was great. I loved the large glasses. After tax and tip the tab came to $190. We're looking to move into the area and we'd return again. read more

Review on September 29, 2024 I decided to take my parents to this restaurant after church today for lunch. Upon arriving we were seated right away; there were hardly any customers in the restaurant at the time as they had only just opened 30 minutes before we arrived. We were seated for about 5 mins before our server came to the table. Our server arrived and took our drink orders. After a few mins, the server brought in our drinks but passed our table to go to another table to "check in" with our drinks sitting on his tray before returning to set them on our table. Our drinks should've been placed on our table before checking in with another table. One of the drinks ordered was coke. He never mentioned that they do not serve coke. Instead, he brought us a Pepsi without even asking if that would be okay. My mom doesn't like Pepsi but opted to just drink it anyway. We ordered Wings and Fries, Ribeye & Ribs, Sirloin & Ribs, and Fried Pickles. The fried pickles were good but a tad salty. The other dishes were nicely seasoned, and we enjoyed them. My parents especially enjoyed their ribs, sirloin, and ribeye. They were moist, tender, and flavorful. My wings were fried the way that I like them and also flavorful. My dad wasn't feeling well, so we ended up taking the rest of our food to go. The server brought us to-go containers and our bill but the bill he brought was incorrect, so he had to go back to correct it. Other than the mishaps that I described above, our lunch visit was good. read more

Pretty much an average sports bar with a good size menu for everyone to find something to eat on without a problem. The restaurant was busy but they kept the people moving without long wait times. Overall clean environment from what I could see with a friendly staff. With the understanding this is a sports bar - the expectations shouldn't be of a five star restaurant at all. The food was good for what it was. Our table ordered around $100 worth of food: -Philly Cheese Egg rolls -Bacon Cheese Fries -Fish and Chips -Bacon Jam Burger -Plain Fried Wings -Steak and Rib Plate -Cajun Pasta with Chicken My personal order was the Bacon Jam Burger with Fries. The fries are fries, the burger was where it was at! Cooked well with good flavor. I have never had bacon jam and it was a pretty nice addition to the burger. If in the mood, I can see us coming back to try something else. read more

Kickback jacks was great. Went to southern pines for a doctor appt and afterwards I rewarded myself with kickback jacks. The wings were fantastic with great flavor. Service at the bar was excellent. Then had one of their salads and it was so delicious. I highly reccomend them. read more

You know I can't remember what this chain location was called before it was Kickback Jack's, but I will not say that it is all that impressive here, just like the previous one was not impressive either. The food could be better, and the menu is nothing special. It is just generic Applebee's/Chili's style food, with nothing to make it special, or stand out. The servers are just doing their job, and sometimes just barely. #2024-6 #535 read more

We were visiting the area and stopped for lunch today. It was very good. Great service and the prices were reasonable. We tried two of the burgers, and Italian bistro sandwich. The buffalo chicken dip app and the chilli. Also a beer and cocktail. Can't wait to go back! read more

Another meal on my work trip. This was a good one. Your typical bar and grill with some tasty food. I had the Philly cheese steak egg rolls and wings. Both were good. I will say I thought the egg rolls needed more cheese. Wings were grilled and delicious. Every place says they have the best wings but this place definitely had a real argument for it. Also doesn't hurt that the wait staff is very good and very attractive. read more

Very lack luster experience overall. Reservation for 6pm and was not seated until 6:15pm, it was not busy at all. Servers are very friendly and helpful, just a little forgetful and slow. Food was not anything special. My Caesar salad tasted very weird, I am just not a fan of the dressing (I love Caesar salads but not this one). The cheese pizza reminded me of the pizza from school lunches. Not bad just not great. The firecracker shrimp tastes amazing, it is an exact replica of the bang bang shrimp from bonefish. The wings were grilled nicely and the lemon pepper had a nice flavor to it. The fish and chips were a crowd favorite at my table, very good, even the coleslaw. The shrimp is nicely fried and flavored. I think personally I may have chosen the wrong meal, but the menu is not very expansive, you may find something you like. The baby back ribs were really small and average. The restaurant is very close to a sports bar, with a tv at every angle. read more

EXCELLENT food. Too bad it's in North Carolina and I'm just visiting from Texas. Their Pepperoni Pizza and Chicken Alfredo we top notch!

My husband had a taste for pizza and decided to order it from Kickback Jacks. He went to pick it up after calling it in. He ordered a large thin crust. I've never eaten pizza there and wasn't planning to eat any of it anyway. But when he got home and opened that box with a large pizza I was shocked. It looked like a small as it was the smallest large pizza that I had ever seen. He said he paid more than 16$ for it. I didn't taste it...but he ate it and said it was pretty good. Checkout the pictures. read more

Fast service, excellent wings and a pleasant atmosphere with plenty of televisions. There is an upstairs outdoor dining area. The bar area is clean and cool with plenty of high top tables and booths. Every time I travel to Garner I make it a point to stop here to eat. If you like jalapeño poppers, theses are out of this world good... they are not traditional , but I recommend you give them a try! read more

Kick back Jack's in Garner, NC We recently visited this establishment. We had not been in awhile so I was looking forward to a nice meal. However, the salad was really the only dish I liked. My fries were greasy, lukewarm and very, very salty. My daughter ordered a hamburger which was also very salty. The boneless chicken wings were so salty I could only eat two. The salmon my husband ordered was the only thing not salty but it lacked favor. The green beans served with the salmon was also salty, salty, salty!!! What is it with all the salt? The tea was much too sweet. I left the place still hungry. I did not want to complain because our waitress was so nice. But I give the food a thumbs down. I will not eat at that location anymore if I can help it! Perhaps another location will be better. read more

The staff was attentive when we entered. We were seated almost immediately. Server came over in a timely fashion. The bathrooms were clean. Service was great. Food came out in a timely manner.

Honestly I had not eaten at Kickback Jacks in a few years! Sometimes you just wanted to go watch a game and satisfy the pallets of a vegetarian, a meat eater and a pescatarian. Not always easy to do, yet we all had a great meal, great service and a good time. It's just bar food, but at the end of the day, we got firecracker shrimp, a big bang for our buck, pasta no chicken, Spinach dip, Berry salad with salmon and a burger. Everyone was happy and as far as service got a nice warm and friendly greeting fromn the hostess and had a very attentive and happy server. Food was good, like it is what it is and it is NOT fine dining! BUT it's better in my opinion than Applebees and Chilis with the same price points. there are more options on the menu for sure so whether you are eating healthy, vegetarian (I cannot speak for vegans) then this can work and I was happy about that, read more

Didn't txt me whenever my food was ready. It's sat in the window the entire time I was waiting.

Amazing wings me and my wife love this place and the Philly cheesesteak eggrolls. She love the chips and the dip as well

Order wings online. Arrive at the restaurant. Had to wait 15 minutes before I received my order. It was not ready when I arrived. When I did get my food it was cold. The fries and the wings were extremely cold. I particularly hate cold food that is supposed to be fresh and hot. My was neither. Very disappointed in the food and service. This was my first time eating at the restaurant. Already disappointed at the place. May give them a second chance, but not certain. read more

10/21/25 This is to let everyone know that the people are great, but the food and place need a lot of work. I went there for my 10th anniversary in recovery to treat myself to a good meal. the service was great!! my food came out hot and looking beautiful. but looks can be deceiving. My order was loaded with potatoes and a rack of ribs, along with a salad and Philly steak eggrolls. As I was about to drive into my loaded potatoes, I found a label in my food that was supposed to be fresh. The manager came and fixed the issue with no problem. When he brought out the redone order, he set it on the table, and I was about to try and eat my meal that I had been longing for. Then out of nowhere, a big roach was crawling towards my food. I immediately killed it with the only napkin I had and called staff over again and showed them the dead roach I just killed, going towards my food. Both managers came over and saw it, and were apologizing to me and wanted to move me to another table. I was sick to my stomach by now and just wanted to leave. No one walked me out, just bagged my food, and I left there very disappointed and hurt because that was my night to celebrate my 10-year Clean and Sober Sobriety. I'm so hurt read more

Met a colleague for drinks and dinner this evening and had a pleasant time. Glossy menus and lots of families with kids plus televisions tuned to sports channels. It's a great spot but definitely loud. Service was decent though a few reminders here and there were required . I had the boneless chicken bites to start. Tasty and served hot, just a little spicy as they should be. My friend chose the nachos and this is a huge portion. Very well loaded with toppings and not many chips without something on them. I had a burger with no bun (yay, keto diet) that was cooked to order and served with cole slaw instead of fries. They have a good selection of beers and there are lots of choice for bar grub. Overall, a great spot and definitely the place where you can bring your mates and your family. [Review 12857 overall, 172 of 2020.] read more

Good bar food and drinks for good prices. Similar to a TGIFridays, but much better. I've been quite a few times and I've always had a pretty good experience. I've always enjoyed the food options as well as the drink options. The prices are also good as well. Their buckets are great drink options as well. My job has had a few events here and they always are accommodating and give us great options. I would definitely check it out if you're looking for some good bar food and drinks. read more

Stopped in on a slow night with lots of workers but no one wanted to work. Had to get the hostess, twice, to find our server. The bathrooms, a hot mess.

Great place to get good cheap food it was close to Buffalo Wild Wings which is where I worked while home from ECU one summer.

Came to dinner with my boyfriend's family to Kickback Jacks. I wasn't that impressed with the restaurant or food, but it's a sports bar. Our server wasn't very friendly, and I'm not sure if she had a long not, but it indeed showed in her lack of communication with our table. Everyone ordered their meals, and from what everyone shared, this was their thoughts. Out of the five meals, the wings we ordered as the appetizer was the best, everything else was not good. The chicken and shrimp pasta was bland and missing a lot of seasoning (2 people ordered). The Philly cheese was good but also could have used more flavor (1 person requested). The ribs were plain and could have been seasoned a lot better and cooked a little longer (1 person ordered), and I ordered the terrible burger choice. I noticed the multiple people on Yelp sharing images of how rare their burgers were, and it was no different when I ordered mine. I was not impressed at all; if I ever return, it'll be for the wings only. read more

Place is clean and service is great. They just need to step up their game. I got the 10 wings grilled in mild buffalo. Taste great but if the wings get any smaller I wouldn't be surprised if I ordered them in the future and they brought out BBQed eggs. Eye roll goes here. Guinness was good...but I would like it in a Guinness glass. I'll probably be back seeing how their close and have a fee events like bike night and such. But I'll go with the burger or anything else than the wings. read more

Not a terribly frequent customer at the Garner NC Kickback Jacks (less than 5 times) but have enjoyed our previous visits..... Ordered two orders of their baby-back ribs and sides for pick-up this past weekend (Saturday) to celebrate an Anniversary (I was sick so take-out was better than nothing). Have enjoyed the ribs on previous visits but must admit that the ribs we ordered this time were clearly over-cooked or had been sitting in a warmer for too long. The ribs were impossible to enjoy.....and even more impossible to warm today. If we had been "in" the restaurant.....I would have asked for replacement ribs.....or at least would have brought the dry ribs to the attention of the restaurant manager. Our sides (Mac-n-cheese....mashed potatoes.....and beans were all great. We will certainly visit this restaurant again....but this last visit was a "swing and miss". read more
