Jack's Restaurant And Bar - San Mateo

This restaurant was very insensitive to me and my husband. We got there and waited to be seated and when our table was ready they took us to a private room in the back and sat us at the corner as the only people of color there. We sat there for a few minutes as that room is used for parties and we were only two until our waiter Jose came and we asked to get a different seat which he sat us where everyone else was. The food was good and Jose was a good waiter just that little misstep.

Always so nice grabbing a bite here. The Eggs Benedict (spinach and artichoke) is really top notch. The blend of all the ingredients is superb. The omelette “Elena” was perfectly made with the taste of feta cheese coming through loud and clear. The service is fast and friendly. The over all ambiance is comforting and relaxed. Give this spot a shot. You will enjoy your meal here.

Place is good. Lamb burger is delicious. If manager or owner reads this, go to the kitchen and say to cook: “You are professional, you making people’s life better! I’m increasing your salary, because your awesome work makes people come back to this place!”. And give him a hug

There's a reason why Jack's is busy during brunch hours on the weekends. Some of their bunch dishes are phenomenal. Our favorites are the corned beef hash $16 and might moose (country fried steak) $22. We also got calamari $15.50, garlic fries $8, Jack's omelette $16 and Mama Ellen's meatloaf $20. Those were all pretty good. The only bad dish was the garlic fries and were served to us cold. All of our entrees came out and they forgot it. It was probably sitting there at the kitchen and we had to ask about it. Fries are not good when it is cold.

Very busy but plenty of tables and seating. I was seated within a minute after walking through the door. Shortly after that, I had the menu, my coffee and orange juice. My server was friendly, showed lots hospitality. And was Johnny on the spot. As usual, I forgot to take the picture of my breakfast before it was half eaten. But I think with that you get the idea that it’s a pretty full surveying. The hash browns weren’t anything fancy they were probably previously frozen, flatten down on the grill and browned. The bar was well-stocked with a myriad of types of alcohols. Even at 10:30 on a Saturday morning the bartender was pretty busy mixing up the early morning cocktails. It’s definitely worth giving it a try if you’re in the area
