Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"We had heard the food was good, so decided to try it. What we had was really good. Definitely wanna go back and try something else. Doesn't look like much - but the food is worth the visit. We will go back . I got the : Jack's Famous Jerk Chicken & my wife got the Jalapeno Turkey Melt."
"Jack's has become one of my favorite places to get lunch and dinner. The way they cook the food is out of this world! Their consistency in how they prepare meals is what you don't see in restaurants anymore. Jack's aims to impress your taste buds. Every bite is delicious! I'm a huge fan of their cheeseburger egg rolls, blackened burger, street corn, cheesecakes, and banana pudding. I also love their fruit bowls. They are big enough for 2 people, maybe 3! Everything is made fresh daily. I appreciate the ease of ordering on their website. In less than 60 seconds I can click what I want, pay, and drive there for pick up. It's so hard to turn down the deserts that they display in the cooler when you're picking up your order. I purchased 2 cheesecakes for my boyfriend and I to enjoy tonight."
"The food was incredible! It was so fresh and delicious! I wish they had some outdoor seating options, though. I think it would improve the atmosphere a lot!"
"I love the Shack Bowls. It's a unique thing in our area. I discovered acai bowls at the beach. I actually like Jack's bowls better. They have lots of other good things to eat and drink too."
"The blackened grilled chicken salad is one of the best salads I have ever ate! Their home made salad dressings are wonderful!"
"Only place in town to get açaí bowls and they are the best I’ve ever had!! They have 3 different bases like açaí, coconut, and a dragonfruit base they call the pink bowl. To top your bowl there is plenty of fresh fruit options as well as peanut butter, nutella, honey, and granola! You can ask to customize the açaí bowls and they don’t hesitate to accommodate to your liking!!"
"I recently ordered a to-go meal from Jack's Food Shack in Mount Airy, and I was thoroughly impressed. The food was delicious, the portions were generous, and the attention to detail was exceptional. I highly recommend giving them a try for your next to-go order."
"Absolutely DO NOT skip over Jack's Food Shack. This is one of the most underrated restaurants I have been to so far. It's difficult to put into words the quality and passion that's put into the food. The chicken was moist and well cooked, the sauce was savory with a bit of spice with veggies on top to cool everything down. The fry's where absolutely amazing! They we're seasoned with not only salt but with other spices, it's a great twist on a classic side dish. I was surprised by the portion size compared to price. You get more than you would a medium Big Mac meal from McDonald's. There are only two things that I dislike about Jack's Food Shack. One is the lack of a seating area and two are the inconsistent hours of operation. There is so much potential with this small restaurant, I cannot wait to see it grow into a well known and popular spot to eat amazing food!"
