Jack's Restaurant and Bar Pleasant Hill

Enticing menu, good drinks. I tried the lamb meatballs and the Ruben sandwich with oregano garlic fries. The food is good and prices very reasonable. The meatballs were good although a bit dry. I decided to try them because they use mint as an ingredient, something I would like seeing more of. The tomato sauce was a bit overwhelming and the mint definitely added to the meat's flavor, when you could taste it (more on that in a minute). The Ruben is made with thousand islands dressing, which some restaurants have sadly moved away from. The corned beef is lean and of good quality. So here's the 'but' and it is largely on me: the food is noticeably salty. For the past 5 years, I have cut back on my sodium intake, and others will likely feel different about it. If, however, you are like me, pace yourself and order more water... Good restaurant, but I'm unlikely to try it again.

We came here for breakfast soon after opening. Service was great. They gave me a pineapple mimosa, even though it wasnt on the menu. Food was hot. Flavors went well together. Coffee was endless. Only negative I have is that I expected the portion of the hangover to be a bit more. Still looking forward to going back for dinner sometime.

Great happy hour and food selection. I come here a lot with my partner, or to meet up with friends and family. This picture was taken when I came alone, for dessert and cocktails. I ordered their rich pumpkin bread pudding. My bartender then recommended the delicious espresso martini.

Pretty day to eat outside and Jack's has plenty of outside seating. The service was good, the food as well. The outside seating overlooks a plaza with two fountains and a good number of planters. There are tables and chairs scattered around to use while you wait for the text that your table is ready. As of this review, proof of vaccination is required to eat inside, but not outside. I chose two appetizers for my lunch, the prawn cocktail and thr lamb meatballs. My friend had the lamb burger in a lettuce wrap. We both throughly enjoyed out food. Service was good if a bit slow, but they were packed and like most places a little understaffed. Definitely going back.
