| - I went here for a friend's birthday supper. I was expecting it to have a country vibe, since it's called "Jack Saloon" but it was a mishmash of trendy hipster, with a lot of classic rock tunes playing over top.
The service was quick and friendly, even though we were late for our reservation. They did make sure to remind us multiple times that we had to be done with our table by 8, but I guess that's understandable since we were late, and another group was coming in. We had to wait a while for our food, which means I had to rush a bit more, and didn't get to finish my food.
I had the large sized, pulled pork sandwich, which came with coleslaw and a side of fries for $16. I regret ordering the large, because the amount of meat in it was ridiculous. The bottom was very soggy and it was impossible to pick up, so I had to try and cut it into pieces. My friend just opened up the sandwich and ate the meat inside with a fork instead. From the other dishes I saw, all the sandwiches seemed to be piled sky high in a similar fashion. The pork was good, but it had a strange sweetness to it that was a bit too much. I found it lacked a bit of zest or sourness.
A lot of the items on the menu are a bit pricey, especially the burgers. They also have some pretty bizarre combinations, such as an egg roll burger and the "krispy kreme" which is a burger with doughnuts used as a bun. The menu doesn't really reflect the image of a saloon.
