Jack's Family Restaurant ~ Lakefield

Amazing place we stopped on the way back from the cottage! Large portions, great service, reasonable prices. As a vegan I had the Greek salad with no feta and fries and it was delicious. Everyone else said their food was wonderful too.

We tried this restaurant in Lakefield based on a recommendation from some family friends while we were staying in the area last week. I ordered the special of the day the Dill Stack fried chicken sandwich it was delicious! I haven’t had anything quite like it before. Picture from jacks instagram I ate it to fast to take my own My husband had the 2 piece halibut and enjoyed it just as much. We’re really glad we decided to stop in for dinner. It was a pleasant experience at Jack's, and we’ll definitely be coming back anytime we're in the area.

All day breakfast was great. Rye bread really thick. Good coffee. Lovely waitstaff one has a beautiful singing voice, meal and a show included, no extra charge.

Had a really good meal here. The service was really friendly and really good! I had ribs with a Greek salad, ribs were fall apart tender and had good flavour with the bbq sauce. They are not true bbq ribs but they were good and did not disappoint. The Greek salad was really good. The sides of beans and coleslaw were also very good. We would not hesitate to go here again.

I ordered on line which gave them a half hour from the time they quoted it would be ready. We arrived and at 30 minute later mark I went into the place to find out where my husband was. Apparently the meals weren’t ready even though they contacted my cell and said it was ready for pick up. I spoke to a young waitress and told her that if it’s been sitting for three quarters of an hour by this time I don’t want it. She assured me that it was just being completed. Out comes my husband and we go across the road to eat it we were over the line of starvation. Out I pull the onion rings which are white. They were warmish and definitely not cooked through. Next was the toasted western sandwich. My sandwich had no peppers or ham at all. Just egg and a bit of onion. The egg was reheated to rubbery. The bread was soggy as in the whole thing had been sitting in the foil wrapper stewing. My husband had the same with the inclusion of a salad. The salad was the only part of the dinner you could call fit to eat. Normally this place has great food and I’ve reviewed it saying that but sending us out the door with meals that were 100% sitting there for 3/4 of an hour was horrible service. It was a waste of 45.00. My husband says that others that were seated were complaining how slow the service was. One guy said it was 30 minutes waiting on his bill so he could leave. I mean how hard is it to hand someone their bill? Personally I think they do it to keep the seat unavailable to those waiting to be seated. So what did we learn? That the place is unreliable and it’s hit and miss to the service and food lol. So best of luck. If you order on line and do take out , check your order before you head out the door and take it home.
