This bar was everything I’d hoped it would be after moving from the inner-loop to the soulless suburbs. As others have written, great food/cheap beer and Clint Eastwood authenticity in both décor and patrons. My bf thought the cobb salad was the best he’d ever had, and our nachos were amazing. The waitresses were attentive. There’s just one big caveat: This place reeks of tobacco. Cigarette smoke permeates everything and there is no place to sit to get away from it. Smokers are allowed on the patio, too. I have no plans to return, except for to-go orders. Unless you are a heavy smoker Blackjack’s is not for you. Definitely don’t bring the kids.

The food was good and the beer was cheap. The bar was dead and I had waited for someone to take my drink order, but ended up having to go to the bar. After that little mishap, our server was super attentive. I was surprised how many vegetarian options there were — compared to other similar places.

Chicken fried chicken was legit. Mixed vegetables(broccoli and carrots) legit. Folks are friendly and talkative. Nice atmosphere, needs a better liquor and beer selection. I’d definitely come back here a time or three.

I’ve never been to this place but the server/bartender Heather was perfect. Beautiful girl and extremely friendly. I was on the patio and had no idea she was the only one inside doing it all. The food was amazing and I’ll definitely be coming back. Thank you Black Jack’s for the wonderful experience and keep up the good work!

The happiest little bar in the middle of the burbs. One of guys in our golf groups decided to get his own bar and bought this place! One evening a few of us decided to scope it out. Having only been here once, I’m hooked. The biggest attraction about this bar is the personality, it’s a Clint Eastwood(Good bad and the Ugly) outlaw motif on the outside, and a Clint Eastwood(Bridges of Madison County) warm sunny feel inside. Possibly the friendliest group of patrons I’ve met in a long time. They laughed, smiled, even over the bad karaōke. Food here is not like any bar food I’ve experienced. Now it’s not fancy like a gastro pub, white linen, swarmed with stuck up sommelier. It’s a loaded menu with plenty of diversity. There is a little lunch area blocked off on the other side of the bar for some privacy, and that comes at no extra charge! The nacho’s are out of this world, friendly bunch of southerners, I think it’s gonna be a hit.

We came in with a group of family for mothers and one of the worse meals I think I have ever had. The ran out of mash potatoes French fries and chicken fried steak sandwiches. Once the food finally came out had to send most of it back at least once to be fixed and then most food came out already ice cold. Then the owner comes over what a joke he was trying to offer us so, etching for our next visit in would not be caught dead in is place ever again.

My boyfriend and I recently moved to the area and were looking for a place to grab a quick meal. We were pleasantly surprised by the vast menu options. We shared the jalapeño poker chips and a blackjack burger. Both were amazing. We specifically requested the burger medium rare and it was shockingly cooked perfectly. It’s hard to find that quality in a bar and grill type place. The prices are great also for both the food and drinks. Fast forward 2 weeks we wanted to have drinks while watching a football game so we stopped in. Immediately the staff asked which game we were looking for and made sure we had a good seat with a good view of the game we wanted to see. We ordered the sampler appetizer platter and again were not disappointed. I loved the chicken wings and fried mushrooms and my boyfriend said the onion rings were very good too. I am so happy to have found this place, great food, great service, great price, in a laid back confortable atmosphere. We have since even called in orders to pick up and that was painless and fast. Nothing bad to say about Blackjack Bar and Grill. We will be repeat customers.

Friendly little neighborhood bar/grill in a laid back environment. I’ve been there pretty regularly and have never had a negative experience. Food is good for the price. I’ve come to drink at the bar side with friends and have come plenty of times to the restaurant side with my daughter and sometimes her friends. Staff has always been pleasant with us either way. It certainly is a much better alternative to a chain like chillis around the corner.

We went right after they opened on a Saturday. Not a lot of people — we got great service and enjoyed the food. I had a fajita wrap and my daughter had soft tacos. I would like to go back during soccer season and what a game with the fans. There is smoking allowed in here and although they have a non smoking section everyone knows its a full smoking restaurant.

Yes. A zero is needed for this place. The food is over priced and plain. The drinks. Don’t let me get started on the drinks. A top shelf margarita. They brought me a glass of Rita mix. NOALCOHOL! When I asked them to remake it. It came back with the cheapest rock gut tequila they had. Very bad establishment.

This corner restaurant has cool door handles! If you look at the front door, you will notice that both door handles are guns. That is kind of unexpected, and kind of cool. Walking into this obvious sports bar, there is a strong smell of cigarettes that will probably never go away. If you have a child that is seriously affected by the lingering stench of cigarettes, this place would not be kind friendly for you. They obviously had the whole family in mind because they do have a sandbox in the outside area. Only problem I could foresee with having an outside sand box is that animals may take it as a giant litter box, but that is neither here or there. There is a place for you to wait until you are seated that showcases their daily specials. Specials are always a great way to get people to frequent your restaurant. I am truly shocked that everything on the menu is kind of pricey. Considering that this is a sports bar, you would think that food would be a tad bit more reasonable, but it is what it is! There are a lot of choices on the menu, so you should be able to satisfy whatever craving your group has. I ordered the Grande Nachos Beef Fajita and chicken mixed, and was surprised that they piled the food on. I can definitely say that this is not premade food. You order the food, and then they take the time to prepare it. The nachos had a little bit of everything on it from jalapenos to guacamole. The cheese sauce was kind of loose, but was enjoyable none the less. They were quite generous with the meat, cheese, toppings and chips. After seeing the size of those nachos, I knew that any other food I would get would have to be to go. The server I had was quite understanding and very useful in all aspects of my visit. I ordered a rack of ribs, mixed steamed vegetables and mashed potatoes for the to go order. I also ordered a brownie sundae to go as well. When I finally did get around to inspecting this food, I immediately noticed that the ribs were very meaty, and they did not skimp on the slab. The sauce was good, and not overpowering of the meat itself, and overall was an enjoyable slab. I am not speaking about the vegetables because they are necessary evils! The brownie sundae was okay. I like that they did not use nuts in their brownies for those with nut allergies. The brownie was decent, but nothing to rant and rave about. The ice cream that they used was quite good. Not a bad way to end the meal. All in all, I think this place is too pricey for the type of food they serve and the atmosphere itself. I wished they had combos on the meals, such as steak and shrimp, steak and ribs, or any other mixtures, but they do not. With the Groupon I had, I would definitely go back to eat with them again. I think that Groupon value is what the true value of that food and atmosphere lies. If the Groupon comes around, give these folks a shot.

My family and I use to love to eat here quite frequently when we lived nearby. The food was always great and consistent… until a recent visit last week. It had been several months since we came here, since moving a few miles north, but I decided bring my kids here so that they could play in the sandbox while I ate in peace. When we arrived there were several people smoking outside where the sandbox is located. Not ideal, but we went ahead and sat next to them. The sandbox was running low on sand, and my kids were scooping out cat turds one-by-one. Yuck. It was never this bad in the past. Despite this, I was hoping the food would make up for the yucky smoke and cat turds… but it was a big disappointment. I ordered a sirloin with mashed potatoes and green beans. The waitress didn’t ask me how I wanted my steak(and I forgot to even tell her). I usually like it medium, but since she didn’t ask and I forgot to specify, it came out WELL done(burnt and dry). I had to cover each bite in mashed potatoes to get it down. The green beans, which in the past were delicious, with bacon in the broth, were terrible and tasted«Off». There was something just not right with the look and more importantly — the taste. When the waitress checked to see how everything was, I nicely told her the green beans did not taste fresh. She got the owner to come out and chat with me. He was very nice, and told me he and his partner just bought the place in November and that the chef had made the green beans on Sunday(4 days ago) and that maybe they should cut their 7 day period down to 4. Now, I’m not in the restaurant business, but at home I never eat leftovers past 2 – 3 days. Seven days just seems too long to serve something, despite it being refrigerated. It just doesn’t taste fresh, and why serve that to people and charge for it? Anyhow, I’m hesitant to go back here ever again. The food use to be SO good, but it was really gross this last visit. I was tempted to call the health department.(Maybe I’m overreacting) Lol But it was very disappointing. :(

Wish there was a «Zero Star Option» for this place. It was horrible. In a nutshell, the young and rowdy waitstaff was inattentive, loud cussing could be heard from the bar area and kitchen(all coming from the staff) and it took forever to get our food, let alone refills of any kind. All that being said, the food was EVENWORSE. My husbands«homemade chicken fried steak» was actually a frozen patty reminiscent of school cafeteria food, instant mashed potatoes… it was simply gross. Now, maybe we went on a bad day when they were out of the fresh stuff or something… but then tell us that when we order… I guess that goes bach to the bad service again. All in all a horrible experience and will NEVER be back. (Side note: Based on the atmosphere, I would guess this is probably a fun place to drink at night, but does not make a good restaurant during day)

The food here is great. I highly recommend the green bean they are soooo good. I also love the chicken fried steak. Black Jacks is a nice family owned and operated restaurant, the owner Deby is one of the sweetest I have ever met. She makes you feel welcome when you are there. Every Thursday here is theme night so you’ll occasionally get served served by someone in a toga.
