    Every food item we ordered was delicious and served at good temperature. Our waitress was pleasant and attentive start to finish. And the noise levels were low given the “full house” of customers!

    The table was set for us when we arrived. The hostess greeted us as if she was expecting us and glad to see us. Our serving lady was warm and exceptionally gracious. We enjoyed the other guests and they seemed to be happy to be at Daddy Jacks. Thank you for a great evening.

    Service was great. Drinks a bit overpriced for what they were. Ambience feels a bit stale but we understand that's the charm? Food was mostly good except the pasta we tried was overly oily and just overall lacking some flavor. The blackened chicken added to it though was flavorful. Ribs came right off the bone but they were warm at best unfortunately.

    We made RSVP and when we walked in the person at the host stand told us we were at a table in the corner. We were surprised that no one showed us which table to sit at. Then a waitress came and asked if we had RSVP and we told her that we did. She said that she had a booth up front for us but we could sit where we were since we were already there. Turned out that the person at the host stand thought we were with someone who had already been seated but he never asked us. It wasn’t a pleasant experience as it usually has been. Thankfully our new waitress was very accommodating, pleasant and hospitable!! If it weren’t for her we probably wouldn’t return. We’ve been loyal customers for almost 10 years and were thankful the evening was turned around.
