We went to Jack’s today in Pleasant Hill, Thursday 7/31/25. It sits on a large plaza in the Crescent Drive area of Pleasant hill. It is a rather large restaurant that serves an upscale breakfast, lunch and dinner menu. There are two spacious dining rooms, a full bar with a wall of giant TV’s. It’s open kitchen is a beehive of activity with cooks running back and forth. There is a lot of glass, shiny surfaces and modern lighting in this professionally designed eating space. We have dined here about five times.
Between the indoor dining rooms and the vast amount of outdoor dining, this place has to seat at least 250 when full to capacity. The outdoor spaces are elegant and include various boulder water structures, tables with umbrellas and outdoor lighting. It’s the kind of place you can hang out from late afternoon to sunset. Today I had the French Dip sandwich. Now this is not considered a sexy meal. It’s a classic, and done right it is sublime. The way a restaurant prepares a classic tells you a lot about how they will prepare the more contemporary dishes. There is a lot to do well with this sandwich to make it right. The roast beef should be sliced paper thin and be rare to medium rare so that it is tender. There should be very little fat or sinew so you can take a clean bite every time without tearing the meat out of the sandwich because it is stuck to your teeth. The roll should be hearty, yet soft so you can bite through it easily and it soaks up the Au Jus readily. The Au Jus should be dark and hearty, full of beef stock or juices from the roast itself. This was the best French Dip I have ever had after a long line of french dips with coarse thick slices of brown meat and hard rolls that hurt my jaw or watery, tasteless Au Jus It was simply perfect. My wife had a beautiful patty melt perfectly grilled on Marble Rye and cooked to a perfect medium with some juicy pink peering out between the cheese and caramelized onions. This has become a regular venue for us and we have never been disappointed. The place oozes with professionalism throughout.
Julio Caesar or Caesar Julio was out waiter. He was quick, friendly, attentive and had a great personality. He suggested I add cheese next time to the French Dip and I kicked myself for not thinking that myself. The whole staff was cheerful and friendly and seemed to be glad to be there.
This restaurant is a sure bet and I urge you to go there directly and see it for yourself!
The place is clean. Get there early if you want to sit anywhere besides the bar. If you want the coveted outdoor tables, get there super super early. The beer bar is great, too. I love the dim lighting. The bartender with the tattoos is very good. Overall, the place is not inexpensive but not outrageous either. I Especially love the lamb riblets, which were tender and flavorful.
Update: We’re at this location often. The polenta is still amazing!
Whether you’re a regular or a first-time visitor, Jack’s delivers delicious food and top-notch hospitality. Highly recommend—we’ll *always* keep coming back!
We had two servers one was Jamie who was training with a new server named Jehrick and they both were SO kind, personable, attentive, fun, and easy to talk to!
The food was SO delicious!
We just moved to town, and my husband, and I will most definitely be coming back because of this ABSOLUTELY AMAZING experience!!!
The menu is big enough that there is something for everyone and the food is solid. Tap list is great, as are the cocktails. I’ve never had a friend complain when we took them here.
