Mr. Jack

SKIP THE USUAL BORING THANKSGIVING TURKEY AND BUY SOME DELICIOUS ROTISSERIE CHICKEN AT Mr. Jack Peruvian Rotisserie Chicken. My mom is 92 years old. She never tasted sweet potato fries until today November 27, 2024. This was my first time experience!Say good bye to boring fast food and say hello to Peruvian rotisserie chicken, sweet potato fries & fried rice!

The chicken was really good and freshly made! Crispy skin and juicy inside Plantains, yuca fries were good Liked the mild and spicy sauces too Would definitely go back I thought it was better than Sardis which I think is going down hill a bit

Yummy food and it's super easy to get to andYou won't regret trying it. The checkin is really really really good

Great tender and well-seasoned half chicken. The spices were complex and served the protein well. The brussels sprouts were 20% less cooked than I prefer. The fried plaintains were soft, caramelized, and excellent.

I decided I wanted Peruvian style sauce to go with my home cooked chicken dinner. On my way home I pulled into a shopping center I was familiar with that advertised a Peruvian chicken spot. From Liberty Road I had to circle to the back of the parking lot to find the business. Once inside i was warmly greeted and decided to try some plantains as I asked about the price of the sauce cups adjacent to the register. I was provided one hot and one mild sauce on the house with the purchase of my side. The plantains were delicious and I'm glad I decided to stop. But after dinner I did rethink the cost for a large side which totaled in upwards of $7. I like to follow the "it cost what it cost" motto but I also know $7 worth of plantains in the supermarket would have supplied me with several lbs versus the container I left with. All in all, I would probably return (the sauce was delicious) to try other menu items.

Chicken tastes really good. Brussels and plantains were good and we would order those again.Cornbread is insanely overpriced. $4 for a small piece. Maccoroni and cheese was flavorless and honestly the worst maccoroni I've had from a restaurant. You could buy Stouffer's and it would taste a lot better.The chipotle replica bowls are decent but I probably wouldn't recommend them. The rotisserie chicken is great though.

Mr. Jack is a welcome addition to the growing diversity of fast-casual restaurants in Eldersburg. What they do, they do well. We have been twice and we have found the food of very high quality (for what it is) and the service prompt and courteous. I do worry a little about the solid foundation for this business. I like Peruvian chicken and I want the business to survive. Usually the store is disconcertingly devoid of customers and I think I know why. As a lunch destination, it seems priced perhaps $3 to $5 above many local competitors. Not Peruvian chicken places, but decent fast-casual options in their own right. Has Eldersburg readied itself to pay $15 (or most of $15) for lunch? If not Mr. Jack has a cost that does not fare well against its many local competitors. One idea might be for them to offer less, for less. Somehow. I hope they figure it out.

This is your typical Peruvian chicken restaurant with additional options. Unlike others their menu is simple and easy to read. You are not overwhelmed with tons of other options. I think those who think their menu is overwhelming have never been to others restaurants like this. Since their menu was easy to read we decided to try something other than the standard rotisserie chicken. My husband got the cheesesteak steak he said it was the softest bread he has ever had. It was really fresh bead and super tasty. What a great surprise. The flautas were ok, although tasty nothing spectacular. The cheesesteak was definitely the highlight of what we ordered.

This place definitely has potential to be awesome and I came here knowing that they have only opened for a few days and there are probably kinks to work out. I'm just excited an option like this even exist in Eldersburg! I called in my order because I knew it'll be busy, the call took a few times for it to go through and the lady was about to hang up on me after my order and I had to ask if they remembered my name, she said yes but my order wasn't in when I arrived to the place. Again, no dings, they're just getting started and trying to get their bearings! I also couldn't pay over the phone.Let's just start with the chicken... the chicken was SO juicy!!! I grew up eating Peruvian chicken weekly where these chicken joints is on every other block. I would say that the skin has the right seasoning and flavoring but the seasoning doesn't go beyond the skin. Nothing some of the yellow and green sauce won't fix I suppose. I want to say that my favorite chicken place goes heavy in the cavity of the chicken with the seasoning as well so maybe that's something for Mr. Jack to consider.For sides, we got black beans and fried plantains. This was really where the disappointment kicked in, black beans were salty and tasted like canned beans with a load of salt. I've never had plantains as charred as these and had to pick out the extremely hard and burnt pieces but otherwise they were good. The menu is slightly overwhelming. Part of me wished that they offered less options and focused on their chicken and perfecting their sides. Part of me is excited these options are available to try since Eldersburg isn't exactly screaming diversity when it comes to food options. I'm for sure gonna be back a few weeks later once things are more settled to try their signature dishes.

Food is delicious. Nice portion size. Clean, well lit, and inviting atmosphere. Service was friendly, polite, and fast.
