“Jack's is in the weekly rotation for our office Friday lunches. Consistently good bar food, with a few items being very good (sadly, usually things on the menu for a short time).

Friendly staff. Good seating options.“

“Instagram worthy cocktails, amazing food, unique items like a GIANT Mozzarella Stick. huge pretzel, even a Ribeye. The decor is pretty sweet. Live music, but Top40's, 42 massive TV's, a true sports bar that the area is lacking, and open til 2am“

“Great place to visit before and after Wild games!!!!“

“Great place. Great tap beer selection and the food is outstanding!“

“Alright, so after a few visits, here’s what I’ve experienced:

Smash burger is amazing; it’s basically all I’ve ordered for at least 8 visits now.

Seven out of eight visits have been great, with just one exception.

Here’s why they don't get the fifth star:

Seat Yourself is fine; I don't mind it. However;

I came in with two business associates I had told about the awesome smash burger.

It was full on a Friday 07/17, with nowhere to sit. The heat of the day was gone, and the patio was in the shade.

We were standing awkwardly while waiting for a table, and not one staff member said hello. I asked if we could sit on the patio and was told no, even after I pointed out it wasn’t that hot anymore, there was shade, and no seating inside. It felt like I was told it wasn’t my problem and was blown off.

So, I can only assume this place is so successful that they don't bother with customer service and make so much money that common-sense solutions to problems in making that money don't matter to the owners.

Also I was a little embarrassed that happened after I talked the place up.

Sincerely, Fellow business owner“

“Great food, great service, very friendly. Date night once a week. This was the place for date night every Thursday for many years with my wife. When I brought coworkers for lunch it became at least once a week meetup till I retired. I still go as often as I can to meet friends, family and the great staff.“

“What a night - somehow even after the wild loss this Sunday our group had a blast! Food was great - service was impeccable and the view was extremely enjoyable. After all of that I would have been a repeat customer but it gets even better …. I was in a hurry to beat traffic and I left my vest Sunday evening. They are closed on Monday …. I reached out via Facebook and they returned my vest with my truck keys - which is already a huge win - but they showed up during closed hours for me on Monday to make it happen- next level stuff I’m still blown away that they went this far above and beyond … can’t wait for my next trip to the cities for zambonis !! Thanks again to your team for the service and just kindness you don’t get everywhere anymore. Go wild !“

“I haven't had much time to frequent this place much lately, but every time I do I have the time of my life. The staff is amazing, the food is incredible and the community is tight knit and welcoming. I couldn't have picked a better city to live in than St. Paul, and Pillbox is a major reason for it.“

“1029 and Smack Shack started the food truck movement in Minnesota. They paired up back when this all started in 2011, we came out shortly after.

As always their food is amazing. We always get the Mac and cheese and shrimp.

The decor is pretty typical Nord East bar atmosphere. Very eclectic with a few bras hanging from the ceiling.

This is a Bucket List!

TRUST THE TRUCK“
