Captain Jacks. An adventure from start to finish. We entered the building and were greeted and told there would be a half hour wait and we could wait in the lounge. Sounded odd but we waited in a nice seated area to the left of the entrance booth and listened to live music played by a older gentleman who was using the piano as well as the harmonica and singing. He was very talented and they took our drink and appetizer orders in there. The half hour sped by very fast and they escorted us to our table in almost a celebrity like way, employees stopping to let you pass and greeting you. We were seated at a small two person candle lit table with live flowers in a vase where we ordered the two servings of king crab. No prices listed or discussed so I was a bit worried. But the crab was so insanely good, as were the salads, the quesadilla and the bread, the cost stress disappeared. It came out to 280$. I was expecting more honestly but it was worth every penny. Insanely amazing service, food and entertainment. I will be coming back and every time I’m coming with new family and friends so they can experience it too.

Bunny was amazing and really the best part of the night. The crab was good and so were the steaks but if I spend 150 a person for dinner, I expect it to be better than good. Crab legs were nice sized and cracked all the way down for easy eating. The steak and prime rib lacked flavor. The meat was tender and cooked to order but lacked the pizazz we expected from a "world famous" cut of meat. The vibe upstairs by the bar, with the piano playing, was fun and had a upbeat feel but that didn't carry through to the lower dining area. People eating around us even commented that they wished the piano could be heard down there instead of the outdated playlist coming through the speakers. Thank you Bunny for starting our night right and to all of the Jack's crew for your for friendly and professional.

Friendly, local, unpretentious seafood and prime rib paradise. Thursday night is free corkage saving you $25 a bottle. Reasonably priced with mega portions. King Crab legs are the reason to keep going back.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Are you still in business? No one has answered the phone for the last three days. Placed 30 calls - no exaggeration.

Where do you park?

Debbie Villescas | Sep 1, 2018
Joanie Seaton | Sep 1, 2018

Parking is even more of a challenge right now due to adjacent construction but do-able. Usually enough space to drop off any other occupants of the vehicle near the entrance so the driver can circle the block a time or two. Worth the minor hassle!

Why did their crab legs double in price and less crab in shells like they shrunk inside overcook?

Barbara Hanke | Aug 1, 2022
James “Jim” Reiber | Aug 1, 2022

Everything has gone up. Transportation cost (diesel) has tripled and that has a lot to do with price increase. My legs were filled with crab meat and delicious! Last visit was 7/10/22

All told with drinks, appetizer, dinner and tip for two it runs about 180.00

They literally get packed right on open, till close. You have to call a few hours before open to get a reservation. Maybe 20 tables at a time ? Their prime rib is the best I have had.
