We probably go here once every couple weeks. The food is great, service is friendly, prices are fair, and atmosphere is comfortable. I almost always get the chicken tenders even though I'm over 40, but the AYCE crab legs have never let me down.

Came here for date night for AYCE crab legs. It was my first and last visit. The atmosphere was OK. Seating was tight as expected, but we found one open table upon entry to the establishment. The table was still dirty from diners, but was cleaned by staff within 5 minutes. We ordered and received our food after about 35 minutes. During the entire meal (Approx 90 minutes), the waitress only came by once to bring more crablegs. The wings were good, pick a good sauce. The crablegs were good. Baked patato was a little dry but otherwise ok. When I asked for a to-go-box, she said she could take my food in the back and get my box but not bring me an empty one to the table. Not sure if this is standard as it was my first time here, but it did indeed rub me the wrong way. After she brought the bill she did not come to collect payment for another 30 minutes. I had to flag down another waiter just to pay to leave. I wouldn't return but I'd invite you to try, as your experience may be different.

Overall, my experience at No Jacks restaurant was a bit mixed. The chicken and fried pickles were tasty, but they were incredibly salty which was a bit disappointing. Additionally, we had trouble finding our waitress and there were long wait times for our food. However, when we did interact with the waitress, she was polite and attentive. On a positive note, the atmosphere of the restaurant was great and added to the overall dining experience.

We had a nice experience with the service and the tasty food. We had fried catfish and cod, both fried perfectly with the fresh bread and creamy cole slaw. The beers were cold.

They have an amazing variety of food here! Everyone will find something they like. Their specials change daily and include some fantastic buffet deals! We love the breakfast and pizza/salad/wings buffets! Monday night is steak night! Service is always phenomenal and everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Don't wait, go try it today!

Stopped in for my second visit. Very lively place great atmosphere. I have had the same waitress twice and she was great both times. Did not have to wait at all for a table. Would definitely recommend.

We got the Wing Special as a carry out. I didn't check th3 food before I left ( I really wish I would have). When I got home the wings were well not that great. They looked barely cooked and had barely any sauce on them. I think we ate 4 of the 20 wings we got. Sadly we will not he back to many other restaurants around.

Great food, great atmosphere, and awesome service by a staff that’s friendly. Small town service with a fun diversity of their menu. All you can eat crab leg night, pizza, salad and wing night… etc. Great restaurant 5+
