Jack Allen's Kitchen

HH at the bar is the best time to visit, otherwise reservations recommended. Service is always great. It can get a little loud. I always get the same thing - quail appetizer and trout for my entree. All of the food is great. Parking absolutely sucks.

1/31/25-Last stop before heading to the airport..One of the best decisions to eat here-!Server; Summer- outstanding!Super friendly and helpful!Went with her suggestion:Fat Jack burger- yummy! Bbq and bacon! Crispy fries..Pesto marinated crab stuffed chicken- delish-Not heavy- and super moist- Love the fresh veggies!Chicken nachos- very satisfying-Bourbon apple cobbler- love the crumble and not too sweet with nicely thin sliced apples.Definitely coming back next trip.

As one approaches the magic age of 65, time seems to just whiz by. It's hard for me to fathom that my spouse and I have been enjoying the wonderful fare at Jack Allen's for many, many years. We frequent his restaurant at least every other week. We have our routine of arriving late afternoon, retirement home dinner time and posting up to the bar. We like the bar since their bartenders, inside and outside, are fine quality folks. They stay busy, engage in lively conversation when not and we connect with their lives and catch up from when we last visited. There are few folks that also enjoy the bar, since we run into regulars like us.Jack's has a great HH. Half-price appy's and discount on drinkies is great value. Without a doubt, we order the crunchy catfish everytime. Always prepared well, nice crunch not over cooked and a side dipping sauce that pairs very well. The Ravioli is filling and gooey cheesy yummy. Their chips are of the thick variety, almost like old skool Mexican restaurants of past Austin. I really like their chunky salsa, just the right amount of heat for me. Goes well with their thick queso and even grab their smashed guacamole. If we are going full hog, we will share these and then perhaps split the entree special or go with our usual.Thanks Jack for keeping it simple and delicious!

Enjoyed dinner here on A Sunday evening. Loved the wedge salad which we shared. The Rudy red trout and Baja fish tacos were both good. Nice waitstaff and atmosphere.

We had a lovely early dinner at Jack Allen's. Our server was so nice and working very hard for us to have a good experience. Very accommodating. I had the Hill Country Mule which was refreshing. I enjoyed their chicken and sausage gumbo, and the fried chicken salad. I really enjoyed the crisp apples and candied pecans. My daughter ordered the crispy chicken sandwich with everything on the side. There's plenty of seating and a big bar area. Nice comfortable booths and relaxing lighting. Love this place when I want a good sit down meal. Their menu has tons of options for food and drink.

If this was close to my house, it'd be my "home base" restaurant. Comfort food, great service, good prices, and a nice atmosphere. I absolutely loved my enchiladas and the chicken nachos were great. Love this place!

We went here for lunch.Bright and cheerful restaurant.Service was very friendly and efficient.Lots of great choices on the menu (I had trouble deciding). Food was delicious and reasonably priced. We ordered the smashed guacamole, enchilada and eggs Benedict.I would definitely come back again to try other items on the menu.

Great food, service,and and ambiance. Our server Summer was awesome and it showed that she likes her job. Very enthusiastic and knowledgable about the menu items. Check it out you will like it.

We like to go to Jack Allen's because they have a great happy hour- $1 off bar drinks and half off appetizers. Five of us went there for HH today, and I got a Stash IPA and the Catfish and Slaw app. for a meal- really good! Hubby had the quesadillas and an Electric Jellyfish IPS. We like the atmosphere and the service was excellent.

We celebrated a friends birthday here on Saturday on the patio. They were able to accommodate a large party of about 15-18 people. We had two servers, I can't remember their names, but ladies y'all did amazing in making sure we were well attended too and cared for. The brunch menu was delicious. We also ordered appetizers and mimosas for everyone. The weather was perfect for the patio, and some of the guys of course got sidetracked w the football game being on. Also huge plus to have fans all over the back patio area. This location sits up against a creek and tree line and aids itself to a more natural feel. Cannot hear the nearby road noise or traffic. Overall it was a fantastic experience.
