"Food was pretty good. Need a little more attention to detail on food - make sure its hot when served. Also, alfredo was a little thick on cajun chicken pasta - remember that it thickens as it stands. Flatbread app a little undercooked. Service good. Nice crowd, a little nousy, but its Saturday so to be expected. Overall good experience, just need a little more kitchen attention to bring additional quality to the end product."

"It was very crowded Saturday evening (good)and we waited a bit for the bill........the waiter (-ress?) was very pleasant and efficient, and was apologetic for the slight wait, so no major downgrading. It was a very pleasant dinner."

"This is a great neighborhood restaurant. The atmosphere is cozy but spirited and the food is very good. If you eat late on weekends you can also enjoy the excellent live music in the intimate adjoining lounge area called Après Jacks."

"The food is always good!! Consistent, hot and flavorful. The seafood dishes are awesome, but the rest of the menu is good too. I recommend the beef brisket sandwich and all the salads are yummy. A bit noisy, but a lively lunch bunch is usually there. if you need quiet, pick another restaurant."

"Very pleased with our foursome visit to Daddy Jack's. My wife had been there several times before with friends and suggested a quiet booth by the window for better conversation. When I made my reservation through Open Table, I requested the aforementioned seating. When we arrived, our booth was waiting for us! Our server was super-friendly, efficient, and had a quick sense of humor. The breaded tenderloin was huge--I really can't believe I ate the whole thing. It's great to go out to a local spot, that isn't a chain, and understands the importance of great customer service."
