| - It's been a loooong time since I visited Jack's for bar night; this review is about their Sunday brunch.
We tried to go to Jack's a few weeks ago for Sunday brunch, and we got there at 10:35 since their website and Facebook pages both said they open at 10:30. We got there and the hours on the door said 11:00 a.m. Sunday. Argh. Consistency in publicizing hours seems like the easiest thing a restaurant/bar can do, so that stuck in my craw, especially since I was starving.
We went again today - at 11:15 - and the place was about halfway full. Our hostess and waitress were nice, the food selection was great and the prices were almost too low for what you get. I ordered the Hungry Jack - two eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes AND pancakes for $8.99. For all that food, I would've expected to pay a lot more! Fella got the Chicken Biscuit, and I think it was an entire fried chicken with a fried egg on a biscuit; it also came with taters or grits.
All in all, a good experience, but I just felt like I was eating breakfast in a bar that the nightly attendees had just stumbled out of a couple of hours before. I love Jack's as a bar, but as a breakfast restaurant, it's still dark and dingy with nighttime bar music playing, which just isn't my favorite on a Sunday morning. For my money, their other joint - The Peculiar Rabbit - is a much better brunch option.
