“Stopped in tonight for the first time and it was amazing, wings were the best I ever had, nice and crispy and not dried out. Pizza was good but sauce could of been sweeter , but that is just the way I like it. It was cooked nice and crispy and thin. Good, waitress was amazing, she was an elderly women but overly nice, she gave his a menu to take home but we forgot it and chased us down it parking lot to give it to us. Will definitely be back. Thank you so much for a really pleasant evening.“

I didn't realize I messed up my own order until I got the food and was like omg I got the wrong thing. It wasn't until AFTER I submitted the feedback to the restaurant. I went and checked my confirmation order and I totally did accidentally order the chicken Ceasar. However, the chicken Ceasar was AWESOME and I was totally not disappointed.“

The one worker was so nice about it but i feel awful!! She made sure i didnt get cut/hurt and was very forgiving. Sorry Longhorn. You have 10/10 stars for everything in there!

“This was my first time eating in at Jack and George's. However, I've had to go multiple times. The quality and portion sizes are phenomenal every time. My favorite thing on the menu is their mac and cheese, but you can only get that on Friday, so make sure to stop in then.

Tonight, they were down a server and had two waitresses serving the entire place while it was packed. They did so with ease and had our food out quickly while checking in to make sure everything was OK. The amount of food was crazy. I got a spicy Hawaiian chicken sandwich, which I didn't know came it chips and an order of fries. Most of it came home with me because it I was so full. I did get a cake to go as they are decadent and worth every calorie.

The only thing I gave a 4 star was the atmosphere. The tables are close together, and it was extremely loud tonight to where I had to almost yell to talk to the people at my table. However, the bathrooms were clean and taken care of, which is always a plus.

There is plenty of parking in any of the 3 lots right beside the restaurant. They do ask that you dont park in front of one of the neighboring houses since they do have lot parking available.

Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Overall, a great Altoona bar for mixed drinks, shots and bar food - clean bar top and attentive bartenders. If you don’t smoke this is not the bar for you. There’s a bar, the next door over that’s owned by the same owners that’s a great non-smoking option (Zach’s). Regardless of which, if a PA team is playing they’re showing it on several television angles within the bar. There’s an ATM, cash only cigarette machine, and several lottery machines at your disposal.“

“Local "Dive Bar". Decent food. Most bartenders are great. The atmosphere depends on the day. Located near PSU Altoona campus so the students do frequent some nights. Most of the time, it's relatively chill, but there are some nights where there are nights and people getting rowdy. Usually on Karaoke nights from what I've picked up. They have trivia and bingo during the week, which I'd do again. Overall, not a terrible experience, but certainly room for improvement.“

The sampler was a build your own. We had wings, southwestern egg rolls, and quesadilla. We also ordered the PGH style cheese steak. Everything was delicious! The sampler could have been a bit warmer in temp. Thats why I didn't give 5 stars. 4.5 more like it. Lol, We will be back.“
