Jack & Georges

It's a seat yourself kinda atmosphere. I like how they play more than one football game do you have options! The wings I asked for extra crispy were still a little gummy. The mild sauce is more peppery than an actual mild sauce. I will say the service was good and the pepperoni rolls were sooooooo good!! I definitely recommend them as an appetizer!

Came here from Yelp ratings. Server was new and we honestly don't think she had ever worked as a server before. Nice girl but clueless. Food came out Helter skelter! Party of six, all getting meals randomly. I was nearly done eating, and we had asked several times where my husband's meal was. Finally sandwich arrived apparently cook had burnt the bunThe food was good but holy cow!

Got a chance to go go back. LOVE THIS PLACE. Great food, great service and a great time.

Love Jack and George's. Their food is excellent and generous. Service is very good. Not a place for intimate conversation as it is very loud!!

A great bar experience. We always sit at the bar and love chatting with the bartender.

This place is off the beaten path and tucked away in a dense residential neighborhood near 17th street. We just recently stumbled across this place and were pleasantly surprised we've missed it all these years. It has plenty of offstreet parking areas adjacent to the building. It's similar to a lot of "hole in the wall" bar/restaurants in the Altoona area and that's a compliment. It was once a smaller restaurant in a house but it appeared to be recently expanded and remodeled. It has a great rustic sports bar aesthetic with tv's throughout. The bar area and entrance is separate from the main restaurant which makes it great for families with large seating options.The menu has a lot of "small" or "large" portion options. A small option is meant for one person and is a lot of food. The "large" portion has to be huge and I'm guessing it would feed the family. Service on our visits has been great. Fresh cuts fries are delicious. We typically try the wings, burgers or salads. They also have various in-house desserts. Prices are very reasonable. We've only visited a few times but we've really enjoyed the atmosphere, food and service.

My mom and I stopped here when traveling through Altoona in the spring. As non-locals we relied entirely on Yelp and the kind words of past visitors to help us pick a dining spot. Well, I'm happy to report that your reviews were right: this place was great!We ate here between the lunch and dinner rushes, so there was plenty of room to sit (and social distance). A waitress came over to get us settled almost immediately, and we didn't have to wait long for our food, either.Between the two of us, we sampled a burger, a roast beef sandwich, salad, and soup. We were both very happy with our choices. My mom enjoyed her mini sandwich and soup special, which was the perfect size for a traveler who didn't want leftovers sitting too long in her car. My burger was a massive and messy delight - and, to be clear, I mean messy in a good way! It had been so long since I had a good burger, so my meal was nothing sort of a treat. We also both loved Jack & Georges' fries - very fresh, very hot, and seasoned well while not overwhelming the natural potato flavor.Between the great food and great service, my mom and I would definitely stop here again while visiting or traveling by Altoona. And next time we'll try to save room for dessert, because the restaurant's desserts looked delicious!

The food is always good. I have been going to Jack and George's over 30 years. They always reinvent themselves. Love the fries, and zucchini. The pizza is incredible. Get there early on a weekend night. They are always busy.

Folks highly recommended Jack & George's and i was really looking forward to a pleasant meal. I wasn't sure what to get so to be safe, I ordered a cheeseburger with a side of onion rings. Everything looked amazing but it wasn't. As other reviewers mentioned, the burger was overcooked and flavorless. The onion rings were hard and more batter than onion. I used almost a whole squeeze bottle of ketchup to soften the rings and ultimately left many untouched. My plastic cup had a heavily damaged rim and should have been replaced. I don't normally drink with a straw but had to this evening.Ashley, my server, seemed to have my table and one other but she still wasn't around much. When I asked for my check, I watched her go to her computer and eat for several minutes before bringing my check. Overall, I think most fast food burgers taste better and the onion rings were terrible. I noticed while I was waiting for my check that another server was collecting menus from a nearby table and also had a daily specials menu which I was never offered. Not having much luck in Altoona so maybe I'll try a chain place for supper tomorrow.

Great bartenders & staff, drinks, food & prices. Non-smoking bar & restaurant Good for Families. Check it out!!
