Reviews for Jack's Restaurant and Bar Pleasant Hill in San Mateo, CA

Very busy but plenty of tables and seating. I was seated within a minute after walking through the door. Shortly after that, I... had the menu, my coffee and orange juice. My server was friendly, showed lots hospitality. And was Johnny on the spot. As usual,I forgot to take the picture of my breakfast before it was half eaten. But I think with that you get the idea that it’s apretty full surveying. The hash browns weren’t anything fancy they were probably previously frozen, flatten down on the grilland browned. The bar was well-stocked with a myriad of types of alcohols. Even at 10:30 on a Saturday morning the bartender waspretty busy mixing up the early morning cocktails. It’s definitely worth giving it a try if you’re in the area Read more

Very upset and angry with my order! Everything are cold after i pick up my order!!!! lamb chop and steak are over cooked! Not... delicious at all. Not going to order it next time! Read more

LOVED this place so much that I was too distracted to take food photos! I appreciate that there is a separation between bar area... (with multiple large flatscreens for sports) and the normal restaurant space, so the restaurant section was not overly loud. Theambiance is great and modern and all the staff were very friendly and attentive. I appreciate the size of the menu and that theyoffer brunch until 2pm. The food was fantastic and honestly amazing for the price considering the area. I would definitelyreturn. Read more

Great food, friendly staff and quick service. My girlfriend and I stopped by for a quick last minute bite before a concert and... our orders came out quicker than expected. I loved my cucumber cocktail, garlic fries and coconut prawns. Read more

Really great place. Really good drinks. Good food. Me and my coworker had a good time after a long day in a new city.

We like this place. Every time we come, we always get great service. The menu is huge so it's usually our go to spot when... everyone wants different things - for example I'll get a Mediterranean plate, my husband pasta and my son a burger. They alsohave great breakfast/brunch options. It's a great and large local spot with a full bar, dinner seating and "patio" seating.Check it out - the foods good and the servers are kind and personable. Read more

Jack's is a pretty large restaurant and bar pretty close off the highway. They get busy fast, have pretty good food, decent... portion sizes and about average pri especially. The staff here are really nice and attentive. Parking can be a pain once theyget busy. Salads are a good choice, lamb burger is just ok, and Mac & cheese options are pretty delicious and creamy.

I am not Jack from Jack's Restaurant and Bar and us sharing the same name does not imply bias. I'm reviewing their drop-off... catering service. Their restaurant is great too. I was super impressed with the service with the understanding that I onlyplaced the order 2 days before the actual lunch. I've done catering in the past and I know it can be sketchy. Something ismissing or the expectation is not the same as what you pay for. Someone just drops off everything in a bag and leaves it at thedoor. That's delivery and not catering. So I was super impressed that Samantha from the actual restaurant showed up to deliverand set up the food herself. Everything arrived hot and on time. I usually expect a careless driver, but to actually get stafffrom the restaurant to come and set up with care and attention. That's over the top great service. For all the Admins out therethat need a place for those last-minute caterings in this post-pandemic world, Jack's got your back. Read more
