Jack's Restaurant & Bar
About This Spot
Jack’s Restaurant & Bar settles comfortably into the heart of San Bruno as a quietly welcoming neighborhood spot where American and Greek flavors come together with an inviting warmth. As you walk through the door, the pace immediately feels unhurried, a gentle rhythm set by familiar booth seating and friendly faces that hint at community and connection rather than a rush to get you in and out. It’s the kind of place where mornings stretch out with the comforting clatter of plates and the rich aroma of coffee, and evenings unfold around shared stories and thoughtfully prepared meals.
The atmosphere carries a subtle balance of casual ease and sincere care. Staff move attentively but without hurry, their smiles unmistakably genuine—inviting you to settle in, stay a while, and savor more than just the food. Here, breakfasts feel like an honest start to the day, filled with dishes that fold in tradition and a touch of something special, whether it’s the comforting familiarity of crispy hash browns or a softly poached egg crowned with creamy hollandaise. It’s the kind of place that draws families and neighbors alike, the kind of place where a birthday song might ripple through the room, a small moment of shared joy in an already warm setting.
The menu threads between classic American heartiness and Mediterranean lightness, crafting experiences that span from the simple pleasure of well-made biscuits and gravy to more vibrant plates stacked with gyro meat and fresh vegetables. It’s varied without overwhelming, dependable without ever feeling routine. Even the drinks find their place in this welcoming tapestry—whether it’s a citrusy sunrise cocktail or a carefully mixed Bloody Mary, they complement the easygoing vibe without stealing the spotlight.
Jack’s feels like a spot that understands how food connects people. Portions are generous, meant to linger over, and each bite carries a comforting sense of care taught by tradition and refined in the everyday. Whether it’s your first visit or a returning stop, there’s an unmistakable sense of coming home, anchored in honest flavors and warm, human moments.

Coming off of a fresh flight from Chicago, this restaurant was a perfect welcome intro to the Bay Area. The food was delicious and flavorful. Biscuits & gravy, hash browns, bacon, country fried steak, spinach and artichoke benedict, cocktails. *Chefs Kiss*. Very attentive and friendly service. They sang HBD to a nearby customer table. I felt the warmth and comfort in the food and service. My husband & I would definitely come back.

Breakfast was just delicious all around. Bacon cooked to perfection , hash brown crispy and made traditionally but they was just something special about them, the pancake in the kids meal was huge fluffy and had a creamy taste. They brought out hot syrup and whipped butter with my fluffy scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese washed down with the best pineapple mimosa. Service is top tier and friendly. Chill vibe. I’ll be back. As you can see the food didn’t stand a chance.

Pretty much what you’d expect for a restaurant at this price point, good selection of food and good portions. Seemed to be among the better choices for the area. Service can be a little slow since there were few servers in the whole restaurant, but food came out fast once the order is in. They also have dinner set meals for dining before 6PM that comes with some side dishes, but we went in quite a bit later than that.

Wonderful experience! The food was really good! The service was amazing the bathroom was clean and the food came promptly. The portions are big! I really enjoyed it! It was a Saturday early afternoon and the place was packed but there was so many workers there that everything was quick and made right! $150 for 6 people.

Lovely spot with great food and friendly service. Prices are reasonable. Because I'm mid-Peninsula, I'm always looking for places in this geographic area for meeting up with people in SF This place is super popular and doesn't take reservations, so be prepared for a wait during popular times. Club sandwich and salad we're delicious.
