| - I've patronized Jack's a few times for takeout/deli orders and recently went there for breakfast. It was midmorning on a weekend, but fortunately the dining room is spacious and the two of us were seated right away. I can't give the dining area any points for ambiance, but it is clean and well-lit, which is all I really need when I'm eating out before noon.
The service was fine-- we were seated instantly, ordered drinks right after that, and had them within a minute or two. Our server was friendly and efficient, checking on us a couple of times during the meal for coffee warm-ups. It looks like other reviewers on here have unfortunately had very different experiences in this department, so I'm taking care here to point out that we were very happy with the service!
The coffee was a standard breakfast diner kind of brew, which is just what I want when I'm out for breakfast. I had the corned beef hash, which comes with two poached eggs and toast (I went with challah but they also have white/wheat/and I think also rye). The eggs were perfectly done and the meal overall was very good. It was a large portion; I am a fairly light eater and would have been satisfied with half as much. My boyfriend had the club sandwich, which was also a substantial amount of food. I am counting the days until we can go back so that I can try the latkes + lox and the challah french toast!
I agree with other reviewers who have pointed out that the value at Jack's is not excellent. Our bill was about $23 before tip, which is a bit much, in my opinion, for anyplace with "deli" in the name. It isn't bad enough to keep me from going back... we just won't be going as often as I would like to.
