Mr Jack'ss Sports Bar & Grill

Since I've never been to East Tawas before, I'm relying on my coworkers to point me to places with yummy food. So, they brought me to Mr. Jack'ss for my first meal ever in East Tawas. Mr. Jack'ss is a roomy, split level sports bar. It has a pool table right by the entrance, which I was happy to see. I must say, I was impressed with their booze selection, even though I didn't get to drink during lunch since I was working, it's still good for future reference for after work ;-) The staff was friendly and we were served very promptly. One of the specials was a chicken quesadilla for $6.99 that comes with guac and sour cream. The food came out very quickly which I was also pleased about. It was a very filling and tasty quesadilla. It had just the right amount of cheese, chicken, and veggies. The tortilla was cooked to perfection. It had a slight crunch, and it was golden brown and delicious. The guac was a little bland but whatever. Somehow I got a feeling the guac wasn't exactly the star of the show and it wouldn't make a lot of sense to judge the taste of the dish factoring the guac heavily into the evaluation. I am surprised and impressed that the menu offers quite an awesome salad selection, beyond the standard House salad or Caesar salad. I'm pretty sure I'll be getting a salad next time I go there. It certainly didn't have the best food ever, but I have no qualms putting that on the lunch or after work rotation.

The pizza and perch are great. A nice selection of  beer, cocktails and a few good wines. The staff is friendly and the service is good.  Well worth the stop..

Not bad, far from great. The mushrooms WERE great, very large and lightly battered.  I love clams, not easy to find decent ones in the midwest.  These tasted pretty good, but had SO much breading I couldn't tell where the clams started. Salad was decent, fresh. I was not as impressed with the sweet potato fries as others - they were so skinny and crinkle cut, there was little potato flavor, no middle, all hard fried outside, if thta makes sense. I'd try them again, but would rather take the safe bet and get the awesome perch at Augie's.
