I sincerely enjoyed my dinner at Jack's On-the-River on Thursday evening. My wife Sonya and I had our wedding reception at Jack's and so; it will ALWAYS be OUR SPECIAL PLACE to dine out. The food is fresh and tasty as well as the staff. They are constantly trying to make you feel like you are at home with family and far exceeded our expectations for customer service. Thank you Jack's for giving us ALL a perfect dining experience.

We got there super early to beat the dinner rush. We ordered a basket of cheese sticks, some teas, I had a small catfish plate, my husband had salmon, and my son had a kids chicken tender plate. It was $75. The girl who waited on us was phenomenal, very nice and attentive. But my goodness $75 for three tiny pieces of catfish, two chicken fingers, a piece of salmon and some frozen cheese sticks? That's $25 a plate, and one was a kids meal! For that, I could have gone to the most expensive place in town, actually enjoyed my dinner, and been served on a real plate!

It was my first time eating here. Initial thoughts were of the crowd of people waiting outside to be seated but once we approached the restaurant grounds my husband and I were pleasantly greeted outside for our name and how many would be dining (2) we waited maybe 10 minutes and were taken inside, seated, given menus and orders taken. When I say this was one of the fastest, prompt, very pleasant restaurants I've been in. Very busy restaurant but service is top notch, professional, quick, laid back setting, food was delicious, fresh, hot. You refill your own beverages at your table with a pitcher of tea and cups of other beverages and ice left at your table. We enjoyed our food and service. 💯% One on my list to remember to.

Wait wasn't too bad. We got there about 5:30pm. The crowd and wait only got larger after. The lady putting our names on the wait list was amazing, kind and relayed honest info about wait times and stuff. The waitress was busy but was still efficient and helpful with us, checking in a couple of times. Greg got the whole catfish plate, slaw, fries and hush puppies. I got catfish fillets and oysters (fried), cheese grits, fries, hush puppies and an order of sweet pickles. We liked the fillets better than the whole catfish, but everything was delicious. Can't wait to visit again!
