If you enjoy the non-corporate small business unique venue… you have found your spot. If your in a hurry this may not be the atmosphere for you. You want an experience and an atmospheric vibe that puts you in a relaxed mind set I don’t care if there’s a 2 hour wait. Soak in what this couple has constructed. Then sit down and enjoy the food. Want a small bridal shower or intimate wedding you should book now. Love history go tomorrow! Just impressive the attention to detail. 1 of a kind….

nice atmosphere. lunch was good.

Such a wonderful place. The restaurant is quaint and so lovely. Honestly like an oasis from the hustle and bustle. The food is very tasty, AMAZING soup. Staff are super friendly and attentive.The one issue is if its a nice you best get their early because its very popular.But, you can also you can order online from here and the food is just as good to go.

For 15 years, I have so loved coming back into town and going to Jacks. It’s always been a favorite for my family. We have always expected a wait and slow service but it’s always been worth the wait. Today, we waited 20 minutes at the door to be acknowledged, then sat and waited 20 minutes to even be spoken to. No waters. No napkins. Nothing. Once we got our order in, we felt better because we knew it was happening soon. The soup came cold. Delicious soup but cold. Our server was never near to even tell her the soup was cold. We were so hungry, we just let it happen. I dream about the chicken salad and cranberry bread sandwich. It finally came and it wasn’t the same. After waiting so long (literally 3 years for this sandwich) I was so disappointed. It had maybe one piece of chicken in it, two grapes and the rest was a little Mayo and bread. After waiting for over an hour for this sandwich, to get such a small amount of chicken salad-I can’t tell you how disappointed we were. It used to be a large portion of chicken salad, this time it was minimal. After a $50+ lunch, no refills, no care for our table, no real service…I am so sad to say this will be the last time we will go to Jacks. I give a lot of grace for service industry as I’ve been in it for years and managed a restaurant. But today was deeply sad because of the lack of care of our table and the serving of our sandwiches that we have so loved for years. To feel like we were an inconvenience to the waitress is just devastating as we don’t get out much.

Wonderful food, amazing atmosphere. BEYOND HORRIBLE SERVICE. One waitress for 11 tables. Out of soup by 12:30…Waitress stated staffing is based off the weather temperature. Date of service 02/19/2022. I guess don’t eat here in the cold. Beyond disappointed glad we didn’t bring our son.

A very cute and charming place, the service was terrible. After waiting in the door way for a bit , the waitress did acknowledge us and told us to be seated at a table right by the door, I asked if we could sit at a table further in the Cafe , it was a dirty table and she stated it would be about 10 minutes before she could get to it. We were fine with this , she never came to clean the table after waiting for 20 minutes, I eventually motioned to her and she stated she forgot about us and said," that is what happens when you sit at a dirty table" .Unfortunately we did not feel welcome and made the decision to leave and will not be returning.

This place is so good, if you don't get there's early, you'll be waiting an hour for a table.Artesianal sandwiches on situated breads. Very tasty.It's a bit pricy considering the size of the portions but certainly a treat.

Wonderful setting, hard to believe it's on Bluemound! Excellent and unique food. Go! You'll return again and again. BUT...lunch only unfortunately.

Awesome environment. Decent salad and soup. Very cool mid day date location.
