Jack's Santa Cruz, California
Jack's ( no website just the location) with a long tradition of being Santa Cruz classic, and something the locals have counted on for numerous years in different locations. Currently just sitting on 202 Lincoln St. Santa Cruz downtown. With a small interior and a nice outside sitting area. Jack's has the looks of a fast food eatery with the take out option, and order window both on the outside and inside. The menu has a nice variety of options, not only burgers but also an excellent selection of sandwiches and sides. With such a local strong tradition, I was excited to try the burger out and see what makes locals all so excited about this place, and why they keep coming back year after year. The key word is simple, to the point, very unpretentious and a friendly and efficient wait staff, that take care of you at the counter only.
Jacks is all about burgers, no frills, and a place people come to have a burger, eat, and not hang too long. The burger is made fresh on order, from pre made beef patty, served with fries and a couple options of cheese burger, and some variations. Every thing served in a paper glove like dish.
The burger patty is always hot, and feel freshly cooked, it is no frills but has a fresh beef taste with some juice and a little flavor of oil or butter giving a little extra to the meat taste. The bun hugs the meat patty nicely making it a pocket, and the lettuce and onions and tomato even though put on as it is made feel very fresh and crisp. The fries are good, nothing out of this world but decent and tasty and a nice portion.
The burger I had which was a cheese burger was tasty, loved the combination of the melted cheese fresh on the meat patty and then the crispy crunch of the lettuce and tomato. The price is excellent, the service no frills quick and to the point. They have been doing this for years, and with the always busy crowd, you know they produce a burger that people love coming back to. It is important to understand the place is about feeding loyal customers year after year, being simple to the point, and very consistent which they have been doing for years, ad local eatery that has a strong fan base, nothing nice that the simple philosophy of making a good down home burger with no agenda Restless burger rating of 8.5
