What People Are Saying
from Google"Cute hidden away lunch spot. Authentic antiques. We tried a variety of sandwiches and beer cheese soup. Jack's Favorite was ours of choice. You have to come here just for the ambience. Support small business and historic properties!"
"One of my longtime favorite lunch spots from the past. I no longer live or work in the area so my last visit was at least 10 years ago. . But I knew Jack’s would be the best place to enjoy a delicious lunch and relaxing atmosphere with a good friend. A Pennsylvania native, she enjoyed the ambience and character of Jack’s. Excellent service, delicious food made it a perfect lunch spot. Definitely worth the travel time. It was like coming home!"
"Great summer lunch place. Romantic, small, rustic and historical. Food is good, bistro style with specials. Grounds are very well kept, barn and Inn. Limited hours but worth the stop."
"Amazing hidden gem. The building has to be one of the oldest in the area. Food is soup, salads, and sandwiches, but all unique and very tasty. Only difficulty is the hours, they are only open until 2pm. Highly recommend checking out this quaint little local restaurant."
"I work near the location and usually looove Jacks because they have the best soups and bread! Unfortunately, today it was not the same. The potato soup was terrible and tasted like something out of a cheap can. I'm so disappointed. If all you do is soup and sandwiches they should be really good and this time it was awful. (the bread was still good though)"
