Most Disliked
While Jack’s Drive-In enjoys broad popularity, it's not without its drawbacks. The surge of customers during lunch hours can lead to long wait times, particularly on weekends when the spot reaches full capacity. Some visitors express disappointment when finding a lack of indoor seating options during peak hours. Feedback indicates that certain items might run out during busy periods, leaving some diners wanting. A few diners mentioned cleanliness issues around the outdoor seating areas, although this is not consistently reported. Overall, while the charm of the drive-in shines brightly, sporadic congestion and cleanliness lapses during busy times can dampen the experience for a select few.

Year after year after year.. I find myself here throughout the summer right up until it starts to get cold. The food just keeps getting better. The young people that work behind the counter are always polite and courteous. I know I can't be the only one grateful to have this place in my local neighborhood 🤍 I wish I could thank the owner personally however I have yet to run into him lol

My family and I have been going here for many years even two generations before me. There are not enough good things I can say about Jacks. The food is incredible. The staff is awesome. It is worth the drive and worth return visits.

It is a great place for a quick cheap and delicious lunch or dinner. It's been there all my life, always stuck to their values and served the best food they can. If you prefer a quiet visit I recommend going for lunch on weekdays, or when the weather isn't the best. The community is absolutely wonderful when people are there, and if you're open to it, you'll probably have a good conversation.
