Breakfast burrito the bomb, ask for the red salsa, it's perfect for the burrito.... very satisfying. I recently had a chicken sandwich, it was juicy, brioche bun, 8oz chicken breast,juicy, lettuce and tomato, hit the spot...a must try if your a chicken sandwich person...i came back to try the TONY'S HOT cheese burger, the picture speaks for itself, thick juicy beef patty on a brioche bun, this one had some hot peppers that gave good kick, avocado lettuce,tomato, all fresh....I was super stuffed and couldn't breathe, but it was worth it....a must try.... TONY'S HOT cheese burger, very good 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Got hungry after car shopping n Raman shop I want to go happen to be close on Tuesday so want to try beef rib n happen to come across this place. Not a fan of pork rib, so got the half rack (4 ribs). It was huge n taste very good. Worth the money. Meat was a little bit on the dry side n sauce was very good too. The 4 ribs is $21.95 plus $2.95 for the side. Can’t complain
Wow ordered the full size beef ribs with double salad sides and Wow just amazing!!! So big and meaty. 7 bones. I will be back. Took three bones home. Could not finish. Next time no sauce as I’m Keto. But very very tasty!
Absolutely outstanding family-owned restaurant with incredible food and service. Really cannot overstate how awesome of a place this is. Our group of 5 was in town for the Rose Bowl (Go Hoosiers!) and had an amazing experience. Creative dishes with large portions and reasonable prices. Go here!
It's right in downtown so alot of extra little shops near by. The taste was good for breakfast and would stop by again to try lunch or dinner.
This is our favorite place for BBQ! The Baby Back Ribs are "fall-off-the-bone" tender and delicious! The Moster Rib Combo is my favorite, but you really have to have a good appetite! (or take for home leftovers) It's 3 kinds of ribs and absolutely delicious. Also, I love their cornbread blueberry muffins! So unique! If you have room for dessert, have the Ghirardelli Triple Fudge Brownie! If you're not already a fan, give Jake's a try... you won't be disappointed!
Yummy and Worth the Visit! We stopped in on a Friday before heading to the farmers market, and I’m so glad we did! From start to finish, everything about our visit was top-notch. The service was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and thoughtful. When we mentioned we were sharing a burger, they even split it for us without hesitation. Our food came out hot and fresh, and the burgers were cooked perfectly to the temperatures we requested. Plus, the beer was ice-cold, making for the perfect pairing. The restaurant itself is modern and well-maintained, with a clean and welcoming atmosphere. Even the bathrooms were spotless, which is always a good sign! Prices were very reasonable for the quality, and the entire experience felt like a great value. Parking can be a little tight, but trust me, it’s worth it. Definitely a great spot for a delicious meal and a good time!
Friendly staff, lots of seating available. Full service restaurant. Their food was served hot and delicious flavor. Huge servings. Their BBQ sauce is definitely made in house and I loved the flavor. Evenly matched no flavor out powered another. The ribs looked amazing, that is what I am trying next time I go. I recommend this establishment and please leave us your review.
I’ve gone here several times and the service is always excellent. The window seating is especially nice. My favorite order is their lemon raspberry pancakes! The raspberry is in the butter which is so delicious. And it’s not too tart at all. The omelette and chili are also yummy. The staff is super polite and even took back an order that had onions in it which my brother did not like free of charge! I love coming here every time I’m in town.
Jack’s Roadhouse absolutely delivered. I ordered the full rack of beef ribs, and they were excellent — tender, smoky, and packed with flavor in every bite. You can really taste the care that goes into the smoke and seasoning, and the meat pulls right off the bone the way great ribs should. The coleslaw was also a standout. Fresh, crisp, and perfectly balanced, it paired really well with the richness of the ribs. If you’re in the area and craving some seriously good beef ribs, this is the spot to hit. Jack’s Roadhouse knows what they’re doing, and it shows in every part of the meal.
