Jacks Restaurant & Bar - (Near San Mateo, CA)

Christopher Acosta Great service great food!!!! Always leave with a smile and a full belly. Usually go for breakfast but the lunch is just as great.

Gigi Loved finding this hidden gem in the middle of the mountains last summer. It immediately became my favorite new restaurant when visiting Lake Almanor. We returned several times throughout the fall and couldnt wait to get back to the lake this summer to enjoy more culinary experiences at The Sandpiper. Its so clear that chef Jack takes great pride and care in determining what to include in each dish and how they are prepared. Jack has designed a menu full of creative pairings using fresh ingredients, flavorable balance of spices, and elevated finishing touches and presentations. Every meal continues to exceed my expectations. If there is a special of the day, it is an absolute MUST have and ALWAYS delicious. The family owned restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere with attentive, friendly service. Ive noticed lots of repeat customers walk through the doors each night. I will absolutely be back again and again. I highly recommend this restaurant, you wont be disappointed. P.S. Please dont tell my grandma that Jacks homemade apple pie is my all time favorite!

Alyssa Wilkison Excellent food. New and modern furniture. Perfect date night atmosphere. Roomy yet personable. Wait staff are knowledgeable and very people friendly. Cutest waitresses in Vallejo! Overall 10/10!! Drinks are excellent.

Aazhie Ryakes Very cozy and mellow atmosphere. Restrooms are upstairs, old building is refurbished and very quaint. Service was super friendly and helpful. Small plates were great, all pasta and ravioli and everything was well plated and tasted fantastic. Creme Brule was great dessert to share!

Coach T Amazing Pizza. This place gets a huge shoutout as their customer service was top notch. I called day of a family reunion for 15 pies and they were able to get everything ready on time and it was all spectacular. They have great prices especially when considering how delicious their pizzas taste. If you happen to dine in they have a good selection of bourbon and scotch and decent prices. Overall this place has tasty food and top notch service.

Linda Smith Absolutely awesome. When your job takes you all over the north state you end up eating out A LOT! A couple days ago if you asked whats my favorite restaurant, I would have said Blades and Barrels in Redding. Now I have a new favorite. We arrived at 3:45p Mis read the info and thought they started serving dinner at 3:30 but thats Happy hour. They start serving dinner at 4:30. Anyway the hostess went in the kitchen to see if they could start early. She came out and seated us right away in a lovely dining room with white linen and elegant table settings. Drinks first. Amazing. Then we ordered appetizers. Mushrooms and calamari. (We couldnt decide) Very generous portions for 2. We ate our fill and the waiter boxed up the leftovers right away. Also included was an antipasto plate and warm bread with an olive oil, balsamic dip. I LOVE THAT! Then came salad for me. Fresh greens & tomatoes with blue cheese dressing loaded with chunks of fresh blue cheese. Hubby had the minestrone.. of course I tasted it. It was the best Ive ever had. Homemade with fresh ingredients. Now were almost full but entrees were served. The timing of each course was exactly right. We each had a prawn dish. Beautifully presented and the flavor of the old world recipes were incomparable. I had the Siciliano garlic & olive oil sauce over a thin pasta. The other was prawns Alfredo. The waiter offered fresh grated Parmesan which we both accepted. Lots of left overs. I do not have even one thing that I wasnt over the top satisfied with. The price was what we usually pay for a high end dinner which usually left us wanting. So so very pleased. You should go.
