    Whenever we have visitors from out of town, Jack Allen's Kitchen is a safe bet. We stopped by for a brunch and decided to order items from their brunch menu instead of regular menu. 🤭 We started with Layered Chunky Queso and Chicken Nachitos as starter (Both we're delicious); for the main course, I ordered the Roasted Ribeye & Sage Hash. Both presentation and flavor of the dish were good. I like how well the eggs on top were cooked in the way that, upon breaking the surface, the egg yolks would be fixing and running down with the the smoky chipotle hollandaise. The only thing I believe would help is adding a little more description of the dish since people visiting JAK for the first time might expect a piece of Ribeye steak rather than diced one. Anyway, the experience was great as usual. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

    Food is to die for and service was divine. Definitely recommend this place over and over again Both the pork medallions and the braised beef barbacoa enchiladas were delicious as well as their version of guacamole with pumpkin seeds in it. Not much for their special pimento cheese but everyone else loved it. The gluten free chips were really good.

    This was our first time at this location and just as good as the Oak Hill kitchen. Great staff and brunch.

    Love Jack Allen’s was great! The only reason for 4 stars is the trout had no flavor BUT that chicken sandwich was the BEST we’ve ever had. Drinks are well prices and so good! Stacey at the bar was nice and it’s a great vibe. Highly recommended for lunch or brunch and definitely will be back!

    I’ve always enjoyed Jack Allen’s Kitchen, especially the original one. The one in Westlake was really off last night. Three couples met for dinner. The server was excellent. Drinks were good and came quickly. Luckily we sat in a corner because it is loud in the restaurant when it is full. Everyone seemed to enjoy the food but the kitchen failed to dress the wedge salad and failed to serve the entree to one of our party. By the time it came our food was cold. I ordered a green chili cheeseburger without the bun. It wasn’t cooked as ordered and very mediocre. No sides. We will give it another try because we know everyone is short handed.

    Great restaurant we like. The deep fried New York strip was so crispy and tender.

  • 5/5 Dave 10 months ago on Google
    One of the most consistently great experiences around: friendly, on-point staff serving delicious, unfussy chow.

  • 4/5 AC G. 8 months ago on Google
    My husband and I had dinner here. We tried the chicken nachitos, the crispy fried catfish and slaw, and the chicken fried New York strip. For dessert had the blondie brownie pie. The food was all delicious. The chicken for the nachos was seasoned well. My husband said his catfish was crunchy, and the sauce gave it a good taste. The country fried steak was juicy and crunchy. It had the right amount of batter and was fried to perfection. The green chili gravy has the right amount of spice for me because I am not a fan of spicy foods. The brownie was a bit too sweet for me, but my husband ate it. Overall, it was great.

    Met some friends here for the brunch and was not disappointed, excellent food and service was proficient even though the restaurant was quite crowded. Their brunch dishes were all very creative and well done. I dined with four other people and everyone enjoyed their different meals. There is a good quality to the food and reasonableness for pricing. All in all a great place to go have a reasonable meal with high quality fare. I have always had a consistent experience at Jack Allen's kitchen's also. I think this shows that the restaurant is well run and managed across all of its locations. All in all, I highly recommend. I don't give it five stars just because it's not really. But it's consistently four stars all the way through in all aspects and in my experience, all of the time. You get exactly what you expect in a reasonable time in a great atmosphere with friendly service...

    Parking can be a little tight if you come during peak hour. Plenty in the back of the building, just need to walk a little. Friendly staff and pretty fast service. We did enjoy the food. But not sure why, we got super thirsty after. Food didn't taste that salty all. Will give it another try since it's near by.

    Always a great place to eat and drink. I usually get the Ruby Red Trout Salad every time because it’s awesome! But they had a special this night as a Shrimp Ceviche Tostado entree so I tried it…also awesome! I had the Jack Margarita with it that was spicy but not too much and the German Chocolate Brownie for dessert. It was good but nothing wowing. The strawberry crumble that my husband had was better. Great service!

    Laid back atmosphere with flavorful food. I'm always looking for a place where I can eat delicious food that is not convenient to recreate at home. All the meals were very well composed. My kids could be very picky and they also found their favorites and enjoyed them very much.

    We had a wonderful bit at happy hour. The Margareta as always were out standing! We also had a catfish appetizer, it was light an fluffy an scrumptious!

  • 5/5 Larry M. 1 year ago on Google
    This restaurant is the best. I've never had a bad experience or bad meal at any of their locations. The waitstaff have always been friendly and efficient without hovering and the food has always been delicious. Apparently, I'm not the only one who feels this way because every time we go back the place is busy. Even so, we've always been seated quickly. If you've never been you should really try them out. You won't be disappointed.

    Amazing place, food and drink. Martini margarita is delicious!!! Sangria is really good. Nachos are very tasty. Crab dip also very good. I ordered the barbacoa enchiladas (delicious), my sister had the special, salmon enchilada (the best one), my husband the pork chop (very good) and a burger, also very tasty. We enjoy the environment, staff are friendly, everything was very pleasant.

    Jack Allen’s is the best place to recommend for your local and out of town friends to try. I’ve always had great service and the best food! They always have seasonal dishes and desserts too. During my most recent visit, I had their salmon cakes- delicious!! Highly recommend!
