I came in around 11, a non-busy time, sat at a round table near the bar. There were a few other male patrons (I'm female), and a perky blonde waitress attending to everyone...except me? It was pretty awkward as I waited, waited, and waited for her to help me until eventually going up to the bar and ordering from the bartender. Never been completely ignored before, so thought it was worth noting.
Review Source:Price - It's a Ski area. Â It's going to cost you. Â Some cheaper options... Bring your own. Â Nearby locally owned places (there aren't many).
Noise - It's a Ski area. Â It's noisy. Â Quiet 10 minutes after the music stops.
Kids - It's a Ski Area. Lots of (noisy) kids.
Quality - It's a Ski Area. Pretty good considering - It's a Ski Area.
Service - It's a Ski Area. Minimum Wage employees. Â Service = wages.
Music - It's a Ski Area. Â Great LOUD sounds. Â Did I say it's a bit noisy? Â Lefty/Lucy do get the crowd involved.
Crowd - It's a Ski Area. Â Cold days = lots of moms sitting by the windows reserving a table for kids that don't show up for hours. Â Warm days the moms are still there. Â They will be gone soon after the music starts.
What to eat - It's a Ski Area. Â Stick to the soup/chili/pizza. Â Since most is premade off-site the quality control is better.
All over opinion - It's a Ski Area. Â Great for skiing. Â I didn't come for the food.
So very disappointed with the beer selection, either Coors or New Belgium on tap only. Â Colorado has so many good breweries, why not flaunt them, plenty of taps, plenty of crap. Â I'll bypass this apres all day. Â As far as the pho goes, I am the pho king and I was glad to see a facsimile of pho available. Â It was decent for the product it really was, but it was not pho.
Review Source:Possibly the worst burger and fries I've ever attempted to eat. I know it's cafeteria style, but the burger was charred and the fries were so salty they cured my insides. At $17+ for the combo, definitely the worst value I've ever encountered, slope-side or otherwise.
For what it's worth, the pizza looked tasty, as did the clam chowder. They had apples and bananas for a somewhat healthy addition to their food-bortions, but I'll still be bringing my lunch next time.
Jacks continues to underwhelm in terms of food, though the bartenders really kick it into high gear around 2-3pm. If you're looking to grab a drink, don't rely on someone to bring it to you, but if you head up to the front (aka, madness) you'll get served. Three of us were doing a mini pub crawl and ended up bellying up to the bar even.
Review Source:I'm not usually a fan of slopeside cafe food, but I just had to write for this, especially knowing that this place is in Colorado, this place had Pho one of their stand. Not just typical Asian Wok or Asian food, it's PHO! What can be better than eating hot, warm soup while it's cold outside.
Yes, the tasted might not be like on par with Pho restaurants in Garden Grove or any Asian places in CA, but it's very edible and the broth wasn't bland, so I'm pretty much a satisfied customer that I couldn't stop bragging about this slopeside cafe.
Also, at the end of the day, they usually have live band playing while you're chillin' at the cafe or at the bar, waiting to get home. I totally loved it and I can't wait to come back to Colorado once again to enjoy riding down Copper mountain and eat here for lunch. Oh, one downside, I did missed the Garlic and Herb fries that McCoy Station has in Mammoth.
Service was super slow. Â Came here twice - once sat at the bar and sat for several minutes before having to yell at the bar tender that I wanted a beer. Â Came here on day two and sat in the general area and the waitress was terrible. Â Service horribly slow. Â They needed about 4 times as many people working here.
Review Source:Unless you pack your lunch or don't eat, you'll likely find yourself searching for some grub at Jack's Slopeside Grill at Copper. You'll find the typical lunchtime and apres ski style food typical of most ski resorts. But! I'm super excited that they now offer pho and chicken and shrimp curry bowls, which are a nice healthy alternative to the typical pizza, burgers and fries. You'll wait a few extra minutes for these tasty bowls, but the preparation is worth it. I tried the chicken curry bowl and it was delish. No guilt here, since you're burning tons of calories on the slopes.
Two thumbs up for the recycling and composting they do here too. When you're done with your tray, place it on the tray stand and they'll sort everything for you. Yay!
The food here is fine. Cafeteria style and overpriced, but good fuel if you forget to bring your own lunch to the slopes.
As the ski day winds down however, Jack's fills up with people fresh from the mountain to enjoy some good drinks, good music and good company. It's also a fun place to enjoy a frothy beverage and warm up as you watch out-of-place skiers and boarders fall down on the blues at the bottom of the American Eagle, which are always really icy after the sun goes down.
Good times for all.
