Really enjoyed the food at Jack’s Surf & Turf - this was my first time trying a hamburger with lobster, and it was such a fun and delicious combination. It was flavorful and cooked just right. The portions were big and definitely worth the price.
This is actually the second branch I’ve visited. The other location in Short Hills has more of a traditional sit-down restaurant feel, while this branch has a different, more casual atmosphere. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely come back, especially for the lobster and calamari!
It’s a good place, but the lobster roll is ridiculously overpriced. I get they have to pay for 6 oz of lobster and their overheads for opening the shop, but $45 for a sub I can eat in 4 bites is outrageous. The shrimp po’ boy is solid and worth the price. Also, the atmosphere is awkwardly quiet. Gotta turn up the music or make the outdoor seating more appealing. I’ll be back to try more of the menu for sure
Fries were great, but the crabcake was a little smooshed, I prefer a firmer pan fried crabcake. It also probably could’ve used a little more flavoring and a little wedge of lemon on the side would’ve been nice
All in all, not too bad though, and I know they’re just getting going at this location. I will be back to try more menu items.
Best of luck

This was my first time trying this place and I was not disappointed. I had the fish sandwich. It was 10x better than when I went to a supposedly Irish place known for their fish & chips. Jack's food was amazing! The staff, very friendly. Service not bad at all. The atmosphere is very nice. Give it try, you will not be disappointed!

The location is perfect. The place itself was very welcoming and cozy. It has additional seating outdoor. Staff is friendly, very warm and provides great service. Most of all, the food is to die for. The burger with lobster was so juicy and the portion was great. The Mac and cheese is so yummy and creamy. The beef tallow fries and sweet potato fries are not ordinary fries but something to talk about on how tasty they are.
The owner was very interactive with the customers in making sure they are comfortable, enjoying the food and he was open to all kinds of feedback. All in all, this is definitely a Go-To place.
