Went tonight with the family for the first time. They have a Wednesday night wing special -- $5 for eight. They have various flavors, but when I am in a new place, I always just default to the hottest style. Now I usually get the hottest because wings at most places are not as screaming hot as advertised -- but these were plenty hot. Seriously. Good and hot (a guy at the next table ordered a pint of milk). The sauce flavor was solid in addition to the heat and the wings were crispy. They were also big and meaty -- eight wings was a meal.
Kids (6 and 10) both got chicken fingers with fries.Portions were generous, chicken and fries were crispy, kids were happy. I'm happy with that.
The disappointing part of the meal was my wife's order of fish and chips. Small portion of fish (though it was quite good) and mediocre fries and slaw. Tartar sauce was tremendous. Some of the best I've had.
Great experience overall -- excellent service, friendly folks, good vibe, cold beer, reasonably priced. We'll be back.
My husband and I have been here many times and I think he has tried everything on the menu.
We love the happy hour menu and we would recommend it to people. Â We like to go in and play pool and watch games. Â
I do get a little sick of the Reggae music, so I'm always excited when they have the country station playing.
Upon a visit to Oregon my boyfriend's sister booked Jack Okele's for her big 4-0 Birthday Bash.
The venue itself is fairly standard, sports bar feel.
The food was all pretty mediocre. The whole "Hawaiin" category confuses me considering their menu mainly consisted of bar type food. Though I did order the Musabi...
Musabi - 2.5 stars
A lot of rice, spam was cooked well but sauce tasted out of a can and full of sugar.
Burger - 3 stars
Mediocre. Nothing too special. I ordered the one with japenos (forgot the name) and the boyfriend ordered a standard cheeseburger. Patties were nothing special and buns were a-ok.
Tater Tots - 4 stars
A yummy snack to start.
The place itself was very lively this night because of our private party (the back bar seemed pretty quiet). Bf's sister is a drummer so on this night she invited all her amigos and by the end of the night everyone was in a drum circle in the main room! The owners were very accomodating and servers were friendly.
I'd come for a drink but not so much for food.
I have had eaten there a couple times. When they first opened he waitress recommended the philly cheese steak sandwich and it was horible the meat tasted like left overs. The second time I ate there was several months later and I had a burger and it tasted ok but nothing speacial and the frys were soggy.
Review Source:Great drink specials, and the bartender Homer does his best to remember names and make sure you're taken care of. Their late night food menu is good, and reasonably priced. Check out the $4.50 wings on Wednesdays!
I think this place is still trying to define itself. It's not quite a hawaiian joint, its not a club, its not a restaurant. I'm just not sure. They need to do something with the huge open space in the front, I never see anyone in there and it could be used a lot more efficiently.
Overall, a good place that's trying to find a niche in Corvallis. I hope they make it, because it's becoming a regular spot to hang out with friends.
More of a 2.5 star.
Stopped by this place while in Corvallis. I'm not sure what to say about this place. I think the atmosphere is nice, and wide open so in a way it is a club/bar. But the food which is Hawaiian is not the best I've had. When I think Hawaiian food I'm thinking Loco Moco but I didn't see that on the menu.
The menu has a variety of other items that isn't related to the Hawaii, which is nice because we all know that Hawaiian food isn't always the best food around. The GF and I had the Spam Musbi, which was alright, a little cold but it wasn't bad.
The GF had the Ripper dog which we were told that it was a hot dog that is cooked in the fryer which splits open. But the dog while it was shiney due to the oil it didn't show the texture of broken skin and little bubbles that a hot oil would do to a hot dog. I'm thinking the oil wasn't hot enough at all for it to make the skin shrivel enough. Or I might have mis understood how it was prepared.
The bartender was nice and he did a good job serving and checking up on us. He recommended a drink for the GF and she really liked it. The kitchen was a bit slow. But that's what happens when you have one cook. The price is fair.
I hope this place will do fine. I think since it's new it still looking for it's niche in a college town. Â Once school starts it should start picking up.
The name is odd. Okole means butt in Hawaiian, so really the name sounds like Jack Ass B&G, Jack Butt or Jack Gluteus Maximus,.
TV showed Super Market Challange! YEAH!
