★★★★★ 5.0 Amy Diesel · Feb 2026

Great experience! Desiree was very welcoming behind the counter. New owners are extremely nice and asked how everything was tasting during my dine in visit. Food was great! Highly recommend the Cherry Coke and Lisa’s homemade chicken salad. While visiting there have patience and please be kind. They’ve been working hard to accommodate long lines and perfecting the menu. This place has been a gem for many years and I know they will continue to keep the legacy going.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Becky Lambert · Feb 2026

I had to call and speak to the manager at lunch. I asked for a hamburger with easy mayo and mustard. When I opened the container it was beyond extra mayo. It was soup like. My fries were undercooked as well! The mac n cheese tasted like it was kraft from the microwave! The grilled cheese was great and so was the banana shake. The manager replace the burger and fries as I requested. The new burger was disappointing. Very bland and cafeteria food like. The fries were better than the first batch but not what I would order again. I hope they improve the food. Just a disappointing lunch due to having to return to get the food and the quality. Should have been done right the first time. I also feel for the quality of food way over priced!

Great staff from the start from recommend items to just overall happiness and positive mood. Excellent food and great prices. Thank you

Customer service is good. Clean restaurant. The bathroom needs to have a baby changing station for moms. Food is good. But they need to go back to air frying the French fries they taste better that way.

★★★★☆ 4.0 J. T. · Feb 2026

Food is decent, service is usually good but I've heard some complain about relaunch struggles but what's the point of hating on that? Most important to me is the atmosphere and history of this place. Happy Jack's has been around since I was a kid (70s 80s?) and while I won't claim to be a regular there, I love the longevity and nostalgia and for that reason alone I hope they continue to thrive under new ownership!
