| - Woah wait! I haven't reviewed Jack's yet? Crazy!
This is basically the only place my friends and I go to have dinner for the past oh, 5 years. We used to change things up and go to BP's or Moxie's once in a while, but lately it's been Jack Astor's and only this place. We were actually here the day they had what I believe was an electrical fire and had to shut the restaurant down, fun times!
So would I say this place is amazing? Not really. There are certain things on their menu that I would personally avoid (mainly pastas). Can't complain about anything else though. My typical choice is the chicken fingers or the chicken club sandwich. I did go crazy once and got the lobster crab dip which was good. I noticed a salmon salad on the menu that looks good too. The prices for all their items are pretty good too. They have some cool drink options as well, but usually I'm the driver so I don't get to enjoy them. It's kids friendly too, the crayons and paper table cloths is sign one that it is (the crayons are fun for all ages though). It's weird though that it's so kids friendly that kids can sit in the lounge, that's just wrong.
All around I usually have a good experience here. Good service that brought the food out fast but didn't make us feel rushed to get out, good food, and all around good times. Their signs that hang about the restaurant are funny and frequently updated so it's fun finding the new ones while sitting around.
So here's some of the downs: My most recent visit was horrible service. I ordered the chicken club sandwich but wasn't asked if I wanted fries or salad, has something changed? My fries weren't that great either, pretty soggy. Then the waitress gave us our bills right after we finished eating and didn't ask about desert, which we wanted. When she brought our desert she also brought our new bills with it. Basically it felt like a big kick in the ass trying to kick us out. The music seems to be louder recently making conversation hard. Wasn't asked for a refill even though i would have liked one. Although the Jack Louis is AMAZING, I miss the apple pie. Bring it back!!! Seriously, my friends and I always say "Apple pie today!" and have our heart broken again when we realize it's gone. Oh and the new Elvis booth kind of creeps me out.
I know for a fact I will be back at Jack's, but I hope this bad service was a one time thing because if it keeps up I'll be greatly disappointed.
