👍👍 This diner in located in the same building as the Omniplex cinema in Omagh. I had time on my hands before the film I was going to see, so I popped in here for a cake and a coffee. The hot orange cake and cappuccino were excellent and I'd definitely pop in again to try something else. There's plenty...

    The food was good, lots of it (only get a starter if you are up for a Man (or Woman) vs. Food moment) with so much choice it really is one of those times where you may need extra time to choose! Our waitress was excellent and friendly. The wait for the food was slightly longer than you would hope, but by no means over the top, however the strength of the cocktails meant a starter would probably have been a good idea! If you are really hungry and want something US themed with portions to match this is for you.

    Such a disappointment. This is frozen food including the chips reheated. Paid £17 for overcooked, processed, bone dry crispy chicken that was chewy. Took me ages to eat this... The BBQ sauce was just a cold dip and not enough to combat the dryness. The coleslaw was also just about a teaspoon in a plastic container. I don't think it's ever acceptable for a restaurant not to serve freshly cut chips. We had planned on dessert but didn't take the risk. The staff were polite but no one at any point asked how the meal was including when paying. This is a large restaurant that only had a few tables on a Saturday night taken. It's really annoying to spend good money on a such an unpleasant experience. We won't be returning and we wouldn't be interested in visiting the other restaurants in this chain. Such a shame.

    Meat lover's haven serving great ribs, wings and burgers. Go for the mixed grill if you are really starved and you won't be disappointed. Friendly staff and very reasonably priced.

    Lovely restaurant, nice decor based on dinosaurs. Burgers and chips very tasty, friendly, helpful staff. Toilets were a bit unpleasant would need cleaned throughout the day. Reasonable prices. Would definitely go again.

    Well this place didnt was a welcome surprise!! Was driving by and popped in, glad I did I can safely say. That monster burger was the nicest burger I ate in a long time!! 3 big Aberdeen Angus beef burgers, 2 korean chicken strips and pulled pork with a delicious sauce on it. Some eating I can tell u, side dish was great 2. Short of having the waitresses (who were a delight by the way) on roller skates I dont think u will get a better American diner style experience anywhere in this country than this wee place. Very reasonable prices 2, that feast in my picture was only £14.99!! Would recommend u hit this place up if ur hungry (and I mean hungry btw cause big feed lol) and in omagh direction

  • 4/5 Samuel C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great variety throughout the menu! Literally a book! So much choice which was amazing! Only reason I didn't give 5 stars was that I felt that the food wasn't the most fresh! Tasted great none the less and the staff were very friendly and helpful!

    Called in for food on the way back from Belfast and ordered a burger it was ok until I tried the tobacco onions. Soggy disgusting mess of mush .soaked in cooking oil .Even when I squeezed them you could see the oil drip out. Wife and kids won't be back.

  • 5/5 Patrick S. 4 years ago on Google

    Steak wasn't even freshly cooked, yesterday's food microwaved and cold in middle, was cooked a fresh steak then but didn't want it as i had gone off it by then

  • 5/5 MR 7. 1 year ago on Google
    The ribs were amazing! Pizza wasn’t that good, but who goes to a rib place to eat pizza right? The burgers were also average at best. Ribs and service gets the five stars from me though!

  • 5/5 Andrew C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for a big feed. Well spaced out seating, friendly staff and the food never disappoints. Highly recommended and right beside the cinema for a movie night. Plenty of parking spaces available.

    Terrible! My boyfriend and I were there last Saturday (after already having one bad experience a while back we wanted to give the place a second chance) We ordered chips with peppered sauce mushrooms peppers etc can’t remember what it was actually called… and a side of veg. We both ordered the exact same thing. They forgot one whole meal only brought one dish to the table with the two sides. We were told to wait a few minutes… next thing the food comes, it looked very rushed and just thrown together AND they forgot the sauce that the whole thing was meant to be mixed with. By the time the sauce came the food was cold. I would understand if the place was super busy but it was empty and 4 men standing in the kitchen doing nothing. Ice machine was broken so no cocktails. The girl dealing with all was super nice very professional so the service was fab! Unfortunately everything else was a disaster. The side veg was literally carrots and pees from a frozen bag… defo won’t be back!!

    One of the best burgers I have had. Traveled over an hour to get there and was not disappointed. Great BBQ food. Looking forward to trying the other items on their menu Decor in the restaurant is very fun and well made Would definitely recommend

  • 5/5 D D. 1 year ago on Google
    American styled diner, with dinosaur decor, (hence the Rexy, ie. Tyrannosaurus Rex) Definitely the place to go if you have a big appetite. The meals are large, good quality and great value. Service was friendly and efficient.

    I was very disappointed in the service and quality of food produced, I'm not going to rate this place at all. I just won't be back! plus when you have kids in playing their own music that loud you can't hear the ordinary music and. The staff do nothing! .i ordered food expecting it to be good quality,,, when I couldn't have been more wrong.. Baked jacked Potato skins with cheese and chicken mixed and grilled on top. Not even inside the potato. It was disgusting and chefing levels were not even there. The fries came out in a bowl, not even the garlic butter or chilli powder, mixed through the fries. It was thrown on top. Burger was dry as an old leather slipper in a soggy brioche bun, not fit to be lifted in hands. It was awful experience, bland tasteless, and soggy salad. Nothing was remotely correct. It needs to improve everything. This was worse than Mcds. Hit or Miss. Your choice id say, but this was my self experience. Over rated for sure.

  • 5/5 Emma C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great menu with lots of choice. Big portions and very reasonably priced! The loaded fries which as considered a side are easily a full meal if you are not a huge eater. The Dirt Bird fries are delicious. The children's chicken goujons are proper chicken in a lovely light batter. The restaurant is Jurassic Park themed, so kids will love it. A lot of the staff were young but very professional, polite and efficient and a credit to the restaurant. The coffee was Lavazza, which is always a win.

    Large varied menu, friendly staff, quick service sanitising station upon entry. Food lacks flavours though but is good value for money large portions

  • 5/5 Gisa Mariam S. 8 months ago on Google
    This is definitely a go for American BBQ dinner. The quantity and quality is at its excellence. Was on our trip to Donegal and discovered this place. Would be definitely going again to order something new. The menu is itself so delicious to chose for one.

    Very tasty! I got the lasagne and my boyfriend got the wagyu hickory burger and they were both absolutely delicious! Staff are lovely and food service was fast!

  • 5/5 Marty O. 9 months ago on Google
    drove past this place on a day out, looked great from the road, so we checked it out online, looked good, set a date and in we went, it didn't disappoint, absolutely amazing food and service to match, cant wait to go back, get the small starters as portions are huge, thanks again.

  • 1/5 shauna G. 7 months ago on Google
    Service was a joke. Staff closing up around us from 7:30pm - made us feel really unwelcome even though it states it’s open until 9pm. Staff never checked back to see if our food was okay (pasta was very bland, chips very salty but starter was nice), had to get up to look for a staff member to get us more drinks. Staff never came to clear our plates or ask if we wanted dessert ( waited over 30 mins after finishing main). Explained this to staff member when we were paying our bill - she stated that they closed at 9, explained to her that we had been sat there for 30 mins after finishing our main which was long before 9pm. Staff member couldn’t care less. Would not recommend at all and we won’t be returning.

  • 1/5 Rayanne D. 4 months ago on Google
    That was the worst food I’ve ever had in my life.. I wish I was over exaggerating! Nothing was right, half of it was cold and I’m writing this in the car home sweating ready to throw up. I got the Canadian burger and curly fries and I thought the chicken (which was old and not cooked) was fish! The thick oily batter on it was rotten and the “maple’ bacon was just some raw strips thrown in. I went with 3 others and it was all quite bad and for the price is insanity. They’ve gone so downhill and you’re basically paying for some food poisoning.

    Very disappointing googled restaurant to check for dog friendly. Text Jack's came up so I call to check and book. Was told no need to book we are not busy. So I also asked are you dog friendly and I was told yes. We arrived and got table or friends came in with dog then we were told to leave!!!!

    Delicious menu and food. Sanitizer stations in several areas. Staff wearing masks. Seating very uncomfortable to sit at. Benches are at 90° and the seat part too short. Very uncomfortable to sit at for any length of time.

    Great food and fast service, however it is quite expensive. You should only go to this place if you are willing to spend a lot. Dessert was amazing. I got the brownie stack and it was to die for.

  • 5/5 Francis M. 4 years ago on Google
    I visited by accident. My car broke down and I went to est whilst waiting for the recovery truck. Large car free car park beside Omni Plex cinema and ice cream shop. Even a rainbow came out! All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was hot and tasty. Great selection. The koperberg cider cocktail looked fantastic at the table next door! They kindly allowed me to photograph their drinks. I had sizzling chicken with onions and mushrooms. Delicious. My friend had a chicken breast burger with sweet potato fries. I had fresh strawberries and he had strawberry pavlova. They didnt have herbal teas but made me a lovely pot from a herbal tea bag I brought myself! Very well presented in red metal pot. No charge. Funky decor with dinosaur skeletons and metal street signs. Toilet doors are polished checker plate. Everything clean and well looked after. I would highly recommend trying it. Fun, tasty and easy going. You wont be disappointed.

    Today I travelled with my family from Donegal to attend the Hurling Final which was played in Carrickmore, On our way home we call into Rexy Jack's to try it out as we had heard so many good reports about it. Oh my god we weren't disappointed as the Service and food was 1st Class could not fault it. My husband went up to pay our bill only to be told "We DON'T ACCEPT EURO" . There was no signage up to indicate that you did not accept Euro currency. My husband turned to me... neither of us had our bank cards with us, luckily I had sterling in my pocket. Can you please tell me why you do not accept our Currency its not a great for your business. What would have happened if I had No Sterling , No bank card Food ate any only Euro notes?????

    We've been coming here regularly since last year (family of 7) and we love it! The menu is extensive with a lot of choice, and the portion sizes are decent too. There is always seating available, it's never been full when we've been. I just wish they kept making the Homer burger, that was my favourite and they updated the menu and stopped making it :(

  • 4/5 Susan D. 4 years ago on Google
    Food was great as always, as was the service but as usual the place was cold, too cold to take my coat off while eating which also means the food goes cold quickly. *Thankfully the place is now much warmer.
