Awesome. Panko pork tenderloin and burger sandwiches, the best. Cucumber, jalapeño Margarita… Wow just Wow! Service was impeccable. My new favorite restaurant. 10

Came here because we had a bad experience at Big Bad breakfast and let's just say five stars isn't enough. This place is wonderful and delicious! Great service 10/10! The food is beyond delicious. Definitely the place to be!

Jack's Place is always a winner for dinner or brunch. The menu has a large selection of entrees, salads, and sandwiches, and several daily specials. My favorites are the brisket, panko-encrusted pork sandwich, and the chicken parm. Their wine list is better than most in the Shoals. The star is always the dessert like the chocolate meringue pie. Get there early or they will sell out!

I now believe in magic. I found it in the pimento cheese bites at Jack's place. Also, in the Era of the Cocktail/mixed drink try the Jurassic Margahrita. Jack is a wizard. The magic is in the food.

If I could rate Jack’s Place more than 5 stars, I would (and I consider myself harder to please than the average customer).As a Muscle Shoals native who has since moved out of state, I was anxious to try a newer local business with my family. None of us (including those who are still local) had been to Jack’s Place Bistro, so we went solely based on Google reviews and viewing the online menu. There were six of us, ranging from 3 years old to 79 years old.Here’s what each of us ordered and what we thought… First, we started with the Pork Rind Basket (mostly because I was so hungry and my gluten allergy limits my appetizer options), and let me tell you… BEST pork rinds I’ve ever eaten. And the jalapeño ranch? I could have drank a cup of that stuff. Although we questioned the $2/person price tag, we ordered the Bread Basket for the table; it comes with three different types of bread, all distinctly different than the next. The zucchini bread is dessert worthy and has a similar taste to a quality carrot cake. There isn’t a designated kid’s menu, but the staff was happy to cater to our needs. My 3 year old had the five cheese flatbread. I wasn’t convinced she would like it because I thought it might be too advanced for her palate, but she loved it (and ate over half of it on her own)! I ordered the Tikka Masala spicy and had zero complaints, although I think the mild version wouldn’t have satisfied my need for heat. My mom and aunt shared the Pork Tenderloin Medallions. They loved the glaze on top and the sides consisting of broccoli and potatoes. Their only critique was that the core of the tenderloins had become a bit dry. My uncle had the Sautéed Chicken & Veggies and his plate looked so good. He loves spicy food, but can’t satisfy that need since having surgery. He said that his meal was very flavorful. My grandmother didn’t order a meal, but enjoyed sampling everyone else’s dinner choices.The atmosphere was 10/10 and Jack himself even delivered the food to our table. It really made the “send my compliments to the chef” a simple task. I cannot recommend Jack’s Place enough. I will definitely be returning each time I visit the Shoals.

This was a great hidden gem. We were in town to visit family and found this place online. Apparently the chef used to do food that was used in movies. The atmosphere was fun, and the food was very good. I ordered the cheesy won tons, which weren't bad, but I wasn't crazy about. But I ordered the fried pork tenderloin sandwich and my husband had the buffalo chicken flat bread, and both were excellent. They do not have a kids menu, but they were very accommodating with existing menu items - modifying them for our littles. Our server was very polite and attentive, which was no small feat, as we were with a group of 11. We called ahead to make sure they could accommodate us, and they had a large table ready for us when we arrived. I very much enjoyed, and highly recommend Jack's Place.
Took a hour to get our food even though we were the first people in the restaurant. Food came out cold, and incomplete. The food was just okay. Nothing special. Would not go back.

First customer in 11:00 brunch recieved order 50min later. To watch other people being served. Party of 4. My order of steak and eggs came out with steak and potatoes. Told server I ordered steak and eggs. Quickly said my eggs were coming didn't have enough room to cook them. having a bit of knowledge about serving they done smaller orders first to turn the tables. Food was ok but some of items were done cold.

First time in and it was nice. Seated quickly and drinks were brought out fast. I had a buffalo chicken salad and it was fresh chopped romaine and cherry tomatoes.The chicken was grilled and tossed in Buffalo sauce, the salad was full size and filling.Good time and great atmosphere. If you haven’t been in, you should.

First of all, I love the atmosphere. It is a shotgun style layout with a bar tucked into the front and tables lined up to the rear. The stamped tin tile ceiling is dotted with recessed lighting and beautiful whimsical art is displayed across the walls. The playlist is all my favorites, as I am of a certain age.Now for THE FOOD. Short story: so good, and lots of it.Longer story: The Nashville hot chicken sandwich: 1 My husband: 0. The man still needs to figure out his limits! The sandwich is indeed hot, but super flavorful. The chips are house made, ridged and crunchy and delicious.The Trio appetizer had hummus, a black bean dip, and tapenade, all so good. And the chicken tikka masala over wild rice was delicious as well. The chicken was shredded and so savory. Our server played both hostess and server and had lots of tables but she kept our glasses filled. Thank you for a lovely dinner!
Great place for Lunch in downtown Florence. "Jack" actually owns the place and came to our table for a chat.
