Maverick Jack's Review (formerly Jack's Prime)I recently visited Maverick Jack's in San Mateo, eager to see how it compares to the former Jack's Prime. We ordered two meals from the $15 lunch deal. The burgers, fries, and salad were enjoyable, though the burger patties seemed smaller than I remembered. I chose a lettuce wrap instead of a bun, but it consisted of only a couple of small lettuce pieces on top, which made me ineligible for the $15 deal--a bit disappointing.The restaurant was quiet, matching the low-key vibe of our lunch. Despite these hiccups, given that my children are fans of Jack's Prime and Maverick Jack's does a commendable job of emulating it, we're likely to return with the rest of the family. Although we didn't try the shakes this time, we look forward to sampling them on our next visit.

Came just for milkshakes- so this review is just the milkshakes. $10 milkshake without whipped cream on top. They didn't really announce what the milkshake was and just put it on the table so there was some confusion when they brought the rest as they mixed up our order and whose milkshake it was. Then it took awhile for the next set to come and by then half our party had finished theirs. Milkshakes weren't all that great. They charge more for malt and hardly any malt flavor.

I come here strictly for the tator tots . The tots are the best around . The staff are out of a Hollywood movie. A good movie where the staff is cool and excellent.

This place has a small parking lot or street parking. A casual place. I asked for a burger to share. They were kind enough to split it for us. I thought the burger was tasty. Fries were super great had lots of flavor. Would def come back to try more food.

When you are craving a burger, you need to get a burger! And this is a place to go for a burger! No, they're not cheap. If you want a cheap burger, head to a fast food place. These burgers are high quality, and delicious. Well worth the price. Service was friendly, fast, and professional. Can't say enough about the fried pickles! Also, I love the casual and family friendly vibe. My only regret is that we were too full to enjoy milkshakes as dessert! This is probably my favorite burger place in this area. Will definitely be coming back!

The new place in San Mateo is great! Very friendly at the front and sat us quickly. Server was very attentive - we all immediately ordered a beer. A few of us had the Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA and one had the Drakes Heff. Both were delicious. We shared the fried pickles - so good. i remembered those from Jacks Prime. We got three burgers - Outlaw, Special hot chicken sandwich with Franks red hot sauce and a blue ribbon. The burgers were devoured - very tasty and fulfilling. The fries were also good - one person got a salad instead. I took a few pictures of the menu - I completely spaced on the food. It was all gone before I even thought to check in!They had more beers than what is on menu. It was a good Friday crowd and we felt it was easy to hear everyone at our table - acoustics of the restaurant were good. They also had an old time diner bar which I thought was pretty cool. We will be back!

It's one of those places where you order online, and they give you a time frame of 30-35 minutes. But when you arrive about 10 minutes early, your food is cold because it only took them about 8 minutes to cook it, leaving your food just sitting there the whole time waiting for you to pick it up. I had the Bacon Ultimatum and garlic fries. The fries were cold and soggy from sitting in the steamed box for about 15 minutes. The burger wasn't worth the $20; it was just a dry burger. You can do better juicy burgers at other restaurants.

The location looks like a new old fashioned diner. It's clean and cute with booths, tables, and some swivel seats. Rosie was our server and she was very sweet. I ordered the Maverick's Classic Cheeseburger with sweet potato fries and my fiance had the Outlaw with garlic Parmesan fries. I also had the strawberry milkshake and he had the strawberry lemonade. The drinks were good but the burgers were just okay. Both of our burgers were very wet and his fries were too. Mine was smothered in mayo. I was so full that I only ate 3/4 of my burger, but since the rest was soggy, I didn't want to take it home. The Maverick burger sauce was on the side and I didn't even eat it because the mayo was already too much. The burger would've been great if it came with no sauce and I could add the burger sauce or ketchup as I please. My fiancé's Outlaw burger was also dripping in the BBQ and Chipotle mayo sauce. I could see it all over his hands while eating. The garlic parm fries had a garlic oil that puddled at the bottom of his plate under the fries.

been driving by Maverick Jack's for a while now, but never actually eaten here. was craving a burger so gave it a shot. The food was delicious (got the Outlaw), the atmosphere was great, and the service was top-notch. A huge shoutout to Tyler, who went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. He was friendly, attentive, and made our dining experience even better. If you're looking for great food and outstanding service, this is the place to go. I'll definitely be back!
