This place is pretty awesome.. I'm new to the Seattle area, and I live on the Eastside.. My bestfriend flew up to watch the Seahawks take on the Pats and we decided to try out Jack's.. Now from the outside, you're kinda taken a back.. but a bar's a bar, lol!! Wow, was I surprised!! I loooooved the atmosphere right off the bat! We were of course in our Pat gear (my bff's team).. and everyone was pretty cool about it.. The bartender was amazing!!!!! Cheryl.. AWESOME CHICK!!.. The prices were extremely great too.. Between the both of us, we had about 12 drinks, and 4 different meals.. and everything was under $40!!!! I'm from LA, and there's no way for the amount of stuff we had, we'd be able to pull off a check under $40.. Awesome place.. While we were there, met some awesome people, Hawk fans, Pat fans, football fans.. Great crowd, great food, great drinks.. We heard a rumor that Cheryl might be leaving Jack's.. If it's true, that would be such a bad impact, because she is what brings everyone together.. My experience was a total of 5 STARS because of Cheryl.. Hopefully the owner's of the bar will reconsider and keep Cheryl.. other than the Pat lost, everything was impeccable.. I will go again (only if Cheryl is still there..)..
Review Source:This once hotspot appears to have been transformed into a shadow of its former self. I have had several people tell me what a great place this was and I have to say when I ate here a couple years ago, the joint was jumpin and the food flavorful.
It was because of that experience that we returned this day. I noticed right away that the layout had changed. I also noticed that despite several new large TV's the place was mostly empty. The menu had been reduced to a simple single page and the selection was worse than I have ever seen in a food establishment. I ordered the BLT. The BLT had 3 strips of bacon on it. REALLY, I need more than 3 pieces of bacon on a half of BLT. The fries were also below average. My girlfriend had a French dip. She didn't like it and pretty much left it untouched.
Here's the deal, the service was a little slow, but the girl was polite. The food was poor, not to mention overpriced for what it was. And based on the lack of people inside, there is no incentive for anyone to come here unless they are friends with the new ownership or staff.
Pubs are known for great food at a reasonable price. This place made me wish we went to Applebee's and you can't pay me to eat at Applebee's. Clocks ticking, if this place doesn't make a major change, they won't last.
