Bourbon Jacks

This is a cool little place, with an old fashioned bar, a stage, and really good food. I got a burger and it was really good. Good burgers shouldn’t be hard to do, but so many places get it wrong. It’s good here at lunch.
Good place to meet for a casual, non-​working business lunch.

Super fun atmosphere, great happy hour menu, and excellent food!!! Sad we didn’t stay long enough for the live music to start, would’ve been a lot of fun!

Hubs and I decided to go outside our bubble for dinner and saw Bourbon Jacks. High rating with a ton of reviews so why not? The bartenders were friendly and the food was delicious. Do not skip the spicy Mac n cheese bites. Omg so good! The fried pickles were good but massive portion — def not a one-​person app! My sandwich was so-​so (Arizona Cuban) and the sweet potato fries were worth the extra dollar. They have a huge selection of Mule drinks for reasonable prices and a two page menu of Bourbon (shocking? Nah!).
The odd thing was we were there around 6:30 pm and a customer must have been doing some serious day drinking. She was wasted and the staff handled it very professionally despite the scene she was trying to make. I added some pictures of her just because she was being crazy taking pictures of the staff. Trust me — the staff handled the situation correctly and appropriately.

Great atmosphere and really good food! We love the blue cheese and bacon chip & the chile artichoke dip was really good, too, but I think my favorite app there is the pepper jack cheese sticks — so good! I’ve only had a burger there and it was delicious! We will be back!

Ok… one of my new favorite restaurants. Wife and I split bacon blue chips… delicious house made app. Also hand green chile dip… pretty good. Wife and I ordered burger and fries tip sand which respectively. Both were great!
Big beer menu and cool country atmosphere with live music.
Will definitely be back!!!

I have been here probably 3 – 4 times and every time the food has been awesome and the staff has been so welcoming. We love going here! It got a little crazy once the band started and people kept piling on, but I enjoyed the music quality. I typically prefer to go earlier in the evening to avoid the crowd though.

Food looks great! I had a cocktail boomboom mule. Awesome and only six bucks. The waitress– bartenders just all have their cleavage in your face.

Stopped in for a beer– great service and a friendly staff. Tried a sample of the mac n cheese at the Chandler BBQ fest and wished I had ordered a larger portion… delicious! Will stop in to see one of the bands next trip.

While we had a great final night in Phoenix, the experience at Bourbon Jack was less than desirable.
If the rating was purely from the appetizers, 5-​star all the way. That was absolutely the best part of the meal for the 6 of us. But, that’s unfortunately where it stops. :(
After placing our order, we waited at least an hour for our food. During that time, we were not told why it was taking so long… until we asked. We were told it was the kitchen’s fault. Then we were told it was because a 10-​top got the order in before us. By the time we got our food, the 10-​top was getting to-​go boxes for leftovers and every other table, but us, had their food.
The burgers were beyond charred/​burnt. One of us ordered medium well and the other ordered well. There’s a difference between completely cooked and a layer of hard char.
The «famous» mac and cheese was supposed to be topped duty bread crumbs. We didn’t see a crumb in sight for the meal or the 2 sides.
At the end, 5 of us ordered dessert. It was prided on being scratch or homemade, which we believe it was not. The cookie was acceptable, but the 3 with the peach cobbler did not eat more than a few bites. It was very bland and very not-​so-​cobbler-​like.
In the end, we had to take our checks to a different waitress in order to settle up. In total we were there for around 2+ hours. It was Avery disappointing experience, of which we paid 100% of the bill and were snarked at.
The only way I would return is for the amazing appetizers. This is not a place I would take a group again.

Visited last night and heard some great music. Trying to get to the bathroom was rather difficult being it was so crowded haha… it’s like one long aisle near the dance floor. The place is hopping! It is in a great location in a row near a brewery and other bars. Lots of good looking folks… I’m 27. I think there was a good mix, but people around my age range. I’ll go there again :)

Awesome food my lunch was te best I had here in Arizona.
They really have a great way of making your day, this awesome house made drink was mind blowing .
Keep up the awesome work

Wow, what a surprise. Hands down, best burger in downtown Chandler! Their mac n cheese and fries rock, too. Honestly, I don’t know why SanTan is so popular… the food is mediocre except for a couple of items. Next time, try Bourbon Jacks instead of the other restaurants in downtown and see for yourselves! You WON’T be disappointed!!!

Jami was fantastic! Seriously incredible service! remembered our choice of drinks from previous visit and was super friendly… tuna ahi lettuce wraps were amazing… mac and cheese was great, good music fun atmosphere… Check it out!

Taylor was a great server! Friends of mine come in often and I got to see it 1^st hand tonight! Good food and great drinks!

Five stars isn’t enough, this place simply rocks. I’ve been a regular almost two years. Every thing about Bourbon Jack’s is great.
Food: FANTASTIC! If you love mac and cheese, this is your joint.
Staff: Awesome. Everyone is phenomenal. Sommer is the hottest bartender in the state!!! She knows all her regulars and is spot on in her service. Bethany is amazing on the floor, great service.
Music: The best. From dance lessons to the Jelly Jam on Sundays, you’ll be moving all night.

1^st visit. (previously The Elephant Bar)
Friday afternoon/​early evening. Sat in the bar.
Good beer list. Decent apps. Fried pickles were way over breaded. Corn bread was good. Artichoke dip was very good.
Lively 5 o’clock crowd of mostly 50+ somethings. Good live music (2 guys/​2 guitars), playing tunes that were age/​era appropriate.
Service was decent. Showed recognition of regulars. Friendly, but maybe a bit over-​the-​top (or should I say out of the top) with the low cut shirts. Not a place for prudes. (What am I saying? It’s called Bourbon Jack’s. Doubt this place would draw a crowd afraid of bartender cleavage).

The ribs with the mac and cheese are pure awesomeness. If you want to eat good then eat here. If your asking yourself, «I really want eat something good tonight but I don’t know what to eat…» that’s your body telling you to eat here.
I come from Socal and I wish this place was back home.

My weekly work happy hour group decided to go here this week. I really had a great time at Bourbon Jacks with them– great happy hour drink prices, decent parking with a well-​lit lot, and fun music and dancing.
This isn’t really much of a surprise, but there are not very many vegetarian options here. Meal wise, we’re talking salad or grilled cheese, but even the grilled cheese on the menu has bacon on it, so if you’re a veg make sure to ask for them to leave it off! They have mac and cheese, but again, it sounds like it has non-​vegetarian parmesan cheese in it, so you will also have to ask for them to leave that off too. I ended up just eating the pretzel sticks, but they were fresh out of the oven and delicious so I really can’t complain. If I wanted to eat an actual meal though, I’d feel a little limited.
If the group ever wanted to go back, I’d be up for it, but I’d make sure to get my cowgirl boots from storage and bring a pair of jeans to change into; I stuck out like a sore thumb in a skirt and blazer! FYI the place is pretty small, so if you have a big group, send someone early to get a table together before it gets packed.

I didn’t write a review for this place yet? Yikes! Been 3 times.
Cornbread = dry
Spicy Fried Mac & Cheese = delicious
Like the ambiance. Service is pretty good.

Really fun place with great happy hour specials and wonderful food. We ordered tons of stuff and split everything and the entire group was pleased with all of the food choices. One downside — noise level. Impossible to have a conversation even early on a Tuesday. The waitress made one or two mistakes and forgot to bring some items to the table but she quickly corrected this.
Food we tried:
Wings with sonoran bbq sauce — yummy and crispy. Wish there were more to the order.
Cajun bbq shrimp — shrimp were well cooked but the star was the Cajun sauce at the bottom. Should be served with more bread to soak it all up! We asked for more and then found on the bill we were charged for each slice. A little ridiculous but worth it for the sauce!
Chicken stew — thick and spicy. Just awesome.
Mac n cheese — really the best in AZ
Ribs — OMG. No other words. So tender!
Chicken Ceasar salad — would’ve been better if chicken was warm but still a nice dish
Seared ahi tuna salad — very yummy and a nice mixture of cabbage and veggies. Love the crunch of the seeds. Could really use some more tuna for the price however.
