Food was really good but I found my burger slightly dry. They provided their Jack's Sauce on the side which was nice of them, then the burger was 10/10. The staff were all amazing and really fast. Interior could use some updating or new paint but it's not a deal breaker. Very much recommended.

Decided to try Jack's Burger Shack today. Two of us went for lunch. There were only a few other people there. We ordered two burgers and a side of fries. Two groups who came in after us were served first. Staff then delivered our food to the wrong table. After the other table told the waiter they had given them the wrong order we saw burgers put on a counter initially, rather than being thrown out. Wasn't obvious to us what the staff did with the food after this. They should have thrown it out - all the more so as it appeared that at least one of the burgers was picked up by one of the people at the other table. Nobody came to tell us that our food was delayed so I went to ask about it. I asked them whether they were making new burgers and they replied yes. I told them we couldn't wait unfortunately, as we had a fixed amount of time for lunch. Mistakes happen, I get it. But when they delivered the food to the wrong table, they should have come to tell us, and apologized for the delay. In fairness they didn't object to refunding our meal. Won't go to this restaurant again though. You need to know how to handle problems when they come up. Part of this is letting your customers know what is going on. Had they handled it better it would be a different story. Too bad, as the food in the Burger Shack smelled good.

Great quick lunch option. They have a gluten free bun option which was delicious. Could try a double next time. The gluten free chicken tenders were amazing. The sauce was very tasty. Absolutely LOVED that they had a dedicated frier for fries. Will definitely be back again.

First time at Jacks and it was amazing! Has an old mom & pop cafe feel to it. Milkshakes were delicious with many different house hold combos to choose from. Burger selection was also great too, really enjoyed the way they cooked their beef patties! Excellent little lunch or dinner spot! Friendly staff. Cute environment. Highly recommend.

We stopped in for lunch at Jack's Burger Shack before heading to the Farmer's Market and we were not disappointed. It's definitely small inside with a handful of tables and some window style seating. There's more tables outside. Parking was a bit of a challenge, but that's also due to the Farmer's Market taking place at the time we were there. My kids decided to go with the grilled cheese and fries, while my wife went with the standard burger and I settled on the Quebecer burger. The kids loved their grilled cheese sandwiches and fries, along with the chocolate milkshake that one of them got. My wife enjoyed her burger and I really enjoyed the Quebecer. The sauce and having some poutine on the burger was delicious, although somewhat messy. The fries were nice and fresh cut. We'll definitely return again sometime.

I've heard great things about this place and finally tried it out. First, great price, huge burger for $12.50. Secondly it tastes delicious. I like how soft the bun was! I got the the shroom burger and it was absolutely delicious. It tastes very "homemade" I can see why people rave about this place!

★★★

Waited a long time to visit here, parking can be a challenge. There are many choices on a blackboard which are very hard to see. There are no combos which makes for a very expensive lunch, BBQ crunch burger, fries and a drink was over $21. The burger was good, fresh bun, hamburger itself very thin, it was very good, fries were nothing special for the cost. Service was quick and ordering easy which was a treat in itself.

I can be more happy with this burger joint. I have to say they have the best burgers in Edmonton, the atmosphere and friendliness is just spot on. Plus I cant wait to go back to try even more burgers and options I got the inferno and my wife got the shroom burger, my wife wants to recreate the shroomberger as it is just amazing, I wouldnt really call The inferno said name but I am also biased as I absolutely love hot sauce and have a very high tolerance for it. But the taste was good. I have no complaints about it LOL I can say that this definitely is being added to the top of my best in town list Kid-friendliness: We got my daughter the mini grilled cheese and fries meal and she loved it

Visited the St Albert location, first visit. Was impressed until I saw a story about Jacks and the Oilers. The menu showed that the basic burger was 8.99. In St Albert it was over $11. Same with the fries? Why is that? I know people think St Albert is supposed to be affluent, so charge more???

I am not a burger gal usually. I will look for other options at restaurants before I consider a burger. But when I want a burger, I go to Jacks. Best burgers Ive ever had, hands down. I usually order the Quebecer (being from Québec, it only makes sense), because it combines the best burger topped by another favorite food group of mine - the poutine. Put that all together and we have the perfect burger IMHO. Strongly recommend you experience a Jacks burger - itll change your life Vegetarian options: The Brontosaurus burger is a veggies burger

A solid 3.7 out of 5. This is another smashburger joint. The menu was well placed, and the choices had interesting ingredients. My lunch partner today suggested we tried 2 burgers and split each so we could share. I ordered on the cob and the hangover. We shared en order of double cooked fries. The fries were perfectly cooked and spiced. The burgers had a good flavor profile with the exception that we didnt really experience the taste of the burger. The meat was there, but these two smash burgers were so thin that they were but a crispy piece of squished ground beed. Had they doubled those wafer thin patties, i think the burgers would have been winners. The on the cob burger was a little soggy from the tomato, and I had zero taste of the blue cheese that was supposed to be in it. The drink menu was WAY too heavy on the IPAs. A nice dark red ale would have been the perfect beer for these lite burgers. If the burgers were a little thicker, I would have given them a solid 4.5 our of 5. The service was great.

I went here last week with my brother and his girlfriend. We came 50 minutes before close, and they were sold out of most stuff, which we totally understood. As a part time worker who gets paid minimum wage, I understand being tired at the end of the day. But they literally started making fun of my brother while we were still in the store just for asking for a spoon, when he couldn t use a straw because he just got a surgery. I love the food at Jacks, and I usually love the atmosphere, but PLEASE don t laugh at your customers when asking for a simple accommodation. Thank you

Basic but good Ordered burger, poutine, and a milkshake each. Burger was good for the most part; unfortunately they only put one very thin slice of tomato on the burgers so ask for extra if youre a tomato person. Food came out very quick and staff were pleasant. Provided takeout containers for leftover food. No added flair to the presentation of the foods but the food was still quite good :)

Lots of variety in Milkshakes i went for the seasonal mini egg. Portion was a bit small. Poutine was incredibly portioned and balanced between gravy fresh cut fries and cheese. Went with the burger with penut butter and bacon was rather suprised that the peanut butter was fresh chopped nuts sadly it didnt really add a ton of peanut butter taste to the burger. All in all meal was fresh and warm but a bit pricey at $30 for one person. Parking: Few spots right out front fron main street but entrance is around the side Kid-friendliness: Have a kids menue.

Burger not bad but not as good as it was a few years ago, fries were a bit soggy they used to be crisp and the gravy not exactly good as a few years ago. Really like the fresh buns they use, probably a little more sauce on the burger and a little more seasoning would boost it up. No to watered down gravy it kills the flavour and ends up thick and jellied.

Great burgers, staff, and atmosphere. Finally licenced (when did that happen?!?) so you can pair your burgers with a beer. 4 simple rules on the chalkboard really help things work smoothly for how small + busy they are! 1) order before you sit down 2) no outside food 3) dont loiter 4) dont talk on your cellphone while ordering Parking: Its right across from the St Albert city Hall free parking, which is open even during the farmers market. Theres street parking as well, but theres not a lot of street in downtown St Albert to park on because of how small it is.

The most ridiculous place I have ever been to. I have heard so many people raving about this place and Fatburger is a premium restaurant for this place. Patties are non existent, thin as paper and completely burned, falling apart. Bun is tasteless, and their special sauce is just ketchup and mayo. We were looking around to see if it is just our burgers but everyone had paper thin burned patty. Absolutely horrendous.

I had the mushroom burger and it was incredible. Everything about it was very fresh. The buns tasted baked that morning, the veggies tasted like they were stight from the farmers market that was happening the same day and the burger was smashed and had the perfect texture. The fries were cooked exactly how I like it where it had gone through multiple tempature deep fried and came with a nice sauce that was different from most places for dipping. We ate outside where they had quite a bit of seating. I also found the prices to be very reasonable in this day and age of outrageous inflation. Highly recommend jacks burger Shack if you are looking for a good burger and fries.

Jacks is a local favorite, and deservedly so. They make smash burger patties, and the menu is full of interesting topping combos. My personal favorite is On the Cobb, but you cant go wrong with any of them. The milkshakes are great too. Jacks can be a busy place, and is open basically for lunch and supper. Make sure you check the hours before you go. The restaurant space itself is pretty small. We usually eat outside on the nice patio, or grab ours to go. It can be a pricey meal, but what isnt these days? Jacks never disappoints.

The young lady who took our order was perfect. We mentioned someone in our group was Celiac and gluten free and she explained to the milkshake person exactly how to deal with cross contamination. She knew all the menu items to avoid. It s not often that young folks are so careful so I wanted to shout her awesomeness. Thanks St Albert lady and team. One of the best gf buns that didn t fall apart, milkshake was gf and fries was also, 10/10.

The hangover burger was good, the Nutella milkshake was good and the fries were super crispy. Very limited seating and it was super busy - this would be a great spot to check out when the patio is open or when you re able to do takeout. We were very lucky to get a table. Had to do a lap to find parking but I wasn t bad on a weekday at lunch. Parking: Limited free 2 hour street parking available around the block.

I used to work across the street so I got to check them out frequently. Great burgers and fries! I love the BBQ crunch, and the malt aioli that comes with the fries is to die for!

You want a unique delicious burger, look no further, Jacks is your go-to burger joint! When I moved to the area and asked where I could get a good burger everyone had the same reply...Jacks. This is a must try for anyone that loves a good burger, and the shakes are pretty awesome too. The only negative thing I have to say is they skimp out on the napkins, throw an extra couple in the bag boys! LOL

The food is great! Can t believe I waited so long to eat here. I also really have to give a shout out to one employee there, I didn t catch their name but they mentioned it was their first shift back after being away for a month. What an outstanding attitude & so pleasant to deal with! Would come back just for that service.

First time with Jacks and it was delivered. Ordered standard burger with bacon and cheese with a side of fries. Food was cold when delivered. Food was cold to the touch. I get its a smashed burger patty but it was so thin it was over cooked tough to eat. Almost no flavor to the burger. Couldnt even tell there was bacon and cheese on the burger. Fries tasted ok after microwaving them until they started to cool down then became unedible.

I have been wanting to try this place since I moved here two years ago. I have heard a lot of raves about it, but was entirely disappointed. I ordered three burgers, three fries and three shakes for take away. When I got home exhausted after a long day, I emptied my bags, and only received, two burgers, three fries and three shakes. When I called, I happen to get the owner on the phone who was incredibly rude, wouldn t let me finish a sentence, spoke over me the entire time and told me it was my own fault. Suffice it to say I will never be visiting this place again. I can go anywhere and be treated badly. Also, the prices are ridiculous . And the fries were soggy and in edible. The malt tasted like nothing. It had almost no flavor.

Edmonton store visit: jacks burger shack Although this is not within Edmonton, it is on the periphery. But there is one in the city center. I came here and ordered a big jack, which was really big. I could barely eat half of it myself, and I had to take the other half home. The burgers are really good for the price and taste. Soda is a bit expensive, but you can bring your own. Or you can pack it up and eat it nearby, and no one else can control you. Overall, you can give it a try, but I won t order Big Jack next time. Too big

I honestly dont know how this place has such great reviews, took my wife and toddler there last night for something new, extremely limited seating inside, and with an hour left to go till they closes they were already taking down the outdoor seating in the patio area. The next thing, the bathroom was out of order and had to leave the establishment to go use the washroom in there sandwich shack around the corner and down the street, HIGHLY inconvenient with a toddler. Now onto the food, keep in mind... for 2 adults and a toddler to eat with milkshakes was almost 80 dollars at this sub par fast food diner. I ordered a burger and fries for the little guy with cheese, which is extra, the burger then came with a half piece of kraft single style cheese, not even covering the entire patty. If youre charging extra for cheese I expect it to cover the whole patty and more. The actual patties themselves were thin and quite flavorless, I think I have tasted cardboard with more flavor... the only flavor was in the actual sauce. The fries came unsalted and kind of soggy, and I got a side of gravy as well for my fries, and let me tell you... I have never, EVER, had such tasteless gravy. The ONLY thing that was good was the milkshakes but even at the prices they charge you are far far far better just going to dairy queen for a milk shake. If you must try this place for yourself then go ahead, it is your right, however take a little drive and head down to Peters Drive-in down on the south side of Edmonton for Diner style food done they way its supposed to be. This was no where near an $80.00 experience, I would still feel ripped off paying 50 bucks.

We heard a lot about this burger joint and finally went. Disappointed. Our fries were awful. I honestly think we got the old overcooked fries. We did not eat the fries but if there was seagulls or pigeons around I would of fed them. The grilled cheese burger was fine but there was just no flavour to it. The Inferno burger was more of a plate warmer than an inferno burger. Overall not impressed. We will not be coming to St Albert specifically to go to Jacks Burger. Sorry heard lots about it.

Use to have a good burger, French fries and a distinct gravy. Big changes recently the French fries look like the cheap frozen sun spun brand the gravy taste different and not as good. the burger meat has hardly any flavour and not near as good as before I basically can taste just the lettuce I used to Recommend jacks burger shack but will no longer do so due to all these terrible changes. Management needs to get priorities straight, save a few dollars and drive customers away or get back to what made jacks unique. Big disappointment! Not worth the $40

By far my favourite burger place to ever exist. like seriously if I was on my death bed I would request one of these burgers for my last meal. The flavours of every burger is put together with perfection and the fries and milkshakes are so good too! Fries are served with some kind of mayo style sauce which they also put on their burgers, yum yum yum! Only thing is I wish they had longer hours!

After hearing about this place for years I decided to give it a try and I have to say I was underwhelmed. The meat wasnt tasty or flavorful. The patty was small compared to the massive bun that fell apart from the burger juices and condiments. Ive heard that this place was amazing and after trying it I just dont see what the big deal was for all these years. Very disappointed.

The burger report for Jacks Burger Shack St Albert. Jacks Burger Shack has apparently been open for about 10 years or so and have gotten a bit of a reputation so we decided to give them a try. Please note if you are going here that they are closed between 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. so dont make the mistake we did and come at 2:45 LOL. Once we found a parking spot at the back of the building we walked around to Jacks and its a small cozy little eatery but the staff are super friendly and very informative on any questions you may have. They seem to be a licensed establishment so you can get a shot of liquor in your drink which is a nice surprise. They have a selection of burgers which did take us a little bit of time to order as we were not familiar with the menu but with help from our server we decided to try The hangover Burger and the regular burger with cheese and bacon added as well as a poutine. The meal was cooked in a timely manner and we received our food faster than we expected. The hangover Burger is basically a burger in between two grilled cheese which is pretty good but the regular burger with bacon and cheese was my favorite. The meat is a Smashburger but they grill it to a point where the meat and fat is rendered toward the edges giving it that beautiful flavor weve all come to love, the condiments are very fresh and theyre homemade Jack sauce had an excellent flavor with the burger, my only complaint was that I didnt get a double Patty. The hangover Burger which is the grilled cheese themed tasted good and I can see why some people consider this their favorite. The poutine was excellent, the fresh cut fries and done to a Golden crisp and you can taste the fryer oil was fresh and the gravy is homemade and tastes amazing, many other places would use a bag gravy but not Jacks. Theyre gravy is poured over the curd cheese and being piping hot, melts the cheese right onto the french fries, who could ask for more than that? The eatery may be small but has more than a dozen chairs and a few tables if you would like to eat there. The one thing that stood out was the taste of the burgers as in the actual meat you could tell it was very fresh and, it had that crisp to it which tasted amazing and they used a larger bun not your typical sesame seed store bought bun, but an airy soft styled bun. While it is nice, it does crush down a little bit more than I would like so be ready for it, all in all it works well with their burgers. Jacks Burger Shack is known to try different types of burgers and have let people know if they have any ideas to share with them which is pretty cool. All in all I would like to give this place a 8.6 on the Munch meter which is very good. Anything over a 8 is a place you should definitely try out. Great job guys and keep it up and thank you very much for a great meal. Parking: Very limited parking at this location, you will either have to park on the Street next to the business or in the back or there are very limited spots. For anyone with mobility issues it may present a little bit of difficulty and even more so in the winter.

I had the most terrible experience at Jack s. I continued to go there despite numerous family and friends have terrible experience with the service and management. I ordered a burger with no bacon and no cheese. I waited on a busy night only to come home and find bacon on my burger. I called them to notify them as this isnt the first time this has happened and the lady was EXTREMELY RUDE AND DISRESPECTFUL. She told me i was mistaken as she double checks and always has (she hadn t). I explained that i would never make that mistake as I ve never had bacon in my life. Im not as upset about the issue as mistakes happen but the customer service was terrible. She told me numerous times that i was basically wrong and that I needed to be respectful when I was not rude whatsoever. Her tone was degrading and defensive from the get go. The conversation was so intense that I felt the need to write a google review when I have never written one before. I wont be returning there and I will share my experience.

Was there yesterday ( November 25th) at around 7:30pm and had the displeasure of dealing with a miserable and extremely rude young blonde girl at the cash register. I did not appreciate her tone with me and noticed she was rude to others as I was waiting which was disappointing. Management, please review customer service skills with your staff as the service was embarrassing.
