Jack’s ChowHound

Love their food. I had the Cheese Burger and chips. Very good.

Had the hot dog at this food truck while at truck yard… It was delicious but about two hours later I got so sick, my stomach still hurts today. My boyfriend was fine eating the grilled cheese. I guess they don’t refrigerate their hot dogs properly…

This is a pretty good food truck. I’ve had my fair share of them, in multiple cities. I enjoyed the pulled pork grilled cheese. It was well-​made and well-​balanced. The flavors were tasty and pleasing together. The owner was very pleasant to talk to and quite nice.
It took quite a while to order and then to get our food. I’m not really sure why… they weren’t that busy. I also found the prices to be a bit high for the portion I received. $ 9 for a grilled cheese with pulled pork — no sides or toppings. It was a pretty small sandwich. I support food trucks, but it’s supposed to be cheaper than eating out at a sit-​down, not more expensive!
Still, the food was good. Not great, not bad, but good.

Wifey had their signature pulled pork grilled cheese while I had the meatball sliders. Both were extremely tasty. I personally was ok with the meat to cheese ratio on the pork grilled cheese. I think I’d prefer a slightly less sweet bun for the meatball sliders, but that’s my own personal taste. Only drawbacks were they were a bit pricey to not come with any side (just some chips would be cool) and they seemed to take quite a while for not being particularly busy that day.

I think any new business deserves a chance to improve and can be very successful. People on my floor are eating and enjoying many things. I got the parmesan fries — but I think they need a little help. They seem to be fried, then reheated — not a good idea. People like fresh french fries. And bigger portions — even if you raise the price .50. Having the truck right at the door is a wonderful convenience and the servers were great — just work on those fries a little, Jack! :-)

I just finished consuming an $ 8 pulled pork grilled cheese sandwich and I was let down.
The title of the sandwich already gives you the impression that you’re going to be eating a delicious Gouda gooey soft pulled pork delight. BUT it’s not. It’s very average. The cheese was a basic sliced thing that didn’t really melt with the bread and the pork. Although there was a nice sweet flavor from the pork it wasn’t enough to compensate for the lack of cheese.
And I overpaid for something I could have done myself.
I suggest trying another dish or verbally request that the sandwich be done better.

Mmmm… these guys can make a MEAN pulled pork grilled cheese sandwich! They put a ton of juicy, smokey pork on there, as well as smokey gouda. The bread is also buttery and perfect.
The main reason I am giving them three stars is because they forgot the BBQ sauce on the side, which would have completed it. Also, the prices are pretty high ($ 8 for my sandwich!) and the wait was horrible (45+ minutes in line).
I also got Cajun fries on the side. They have a very nice kick and flavor. Anyway, I definitely recommend trying Jack’s out if you have plenty of time and money.

The food was awesome! The Cajun Fries were the bomb. The line was a bit long but well worth the wait. They were very friendly and wrapped up my food to-​go no problem. I wish they would have had the Pot Roast grilled cheese. I can’t wait to try it.

Pulled Pork Grilled cheese was amazing lets get that straight, however I felt not completely satisfied. Not enough cheese to be considered a grilled cheese, and not enough bbq sauce to be a true bbq sandwich… nonetheless it was really good. Fries were really good, can’t wait to try everything else on the menu.

Stumbled across this place while at Gingerman. We got the pulled pork grilled cheese (super tasty) and seasoned fries (perfect complement to the sandwich). Excited to try the other stuff on the menu! We’ll be back for sure.

All I can say is their pulled pork grilled cheese is amazing! We first tried Jack’s at the Food Truck Festival held at Valley View and again at Taste of Dallas.
To those that complain there is not enough cheese and too much pork: it’s a matter of opinion. We loved having so much pork on the sammich, the cheese was melty-​gooey, and the thick Texas toast held it together well. I will definitely seek them out again at the next food truck event!

I wanted to LOVE Jack’s. It has some serious potential. Here’s what I mean:
We tried Jack’s as part of the Food Truck Experience happening every Wednesday evening for the next month, located at Sigel’s off Greenville & Lovers. I was all too excited about the Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese sandwich. I expected a cheesy, gooey, messy sandwich that when ripped apart would ooze cheese from all sides.
Instead, I got a pulled pork sandwich loaded with too much pulled pork and a single thin slice of gouda. The bread — thick toasted slices of Texas Toast — held up nicely, and I even let it sit for a minute to see if the cheese would melt. It was still very good; just not what I had pictured when I read «grilled cheese.»
Jack’s, I recommend putting less pulled pork and more cheese on your grilled cheese sandwiches — and melting the cheese before handing it over. Otherwise, you can’t taste it :(

Well, my opinion might be a little off since I have only tried one item. The Steak Frites was disappointing on the day that I had tried it. It was a generous portion at $ 9. Perhaps it was because they were pretty busy, but when I got my Steak Frites, I would say it was cooked kind of rare. I never specified and it’s a good thing I don’t mind Rare Steak. On top of that though, everything was way over-​salted. I LOVE SALT. I even salt my bacon. So if I think it’s too much salt, then it was. The french fries were subpar also.

The only item on the menu I had here is the Steak Frites and OMG they were AMAZING! Garlic parmesean fries with pieces of marinated ribeye steak on top.
It’s greasy and crispy and so delicious. The steak is seasoned with garlic salt but it balances out the crispy taste of the fries. The steak pieces were a bit TOO salty, but the fries make up for it.
Totally worth the $ 9 price tag.

Today was my first visit to Jack’s for lunch and I had the Steak Frites. It was DELISH! And I’m not even a big fry person. Although they looked soggy, my first bite right out of the truck was crunchy and tasted of yummy steak juice. Now, I did walk back to the office before devouring the innards of my styrofoam plate but it was still good, even after it started to get cold. Anyway, the tenderloin was beautifully medium rare, though the heat from the fries continued to cook it to medium. The fries were supposed to be garlic parmesan but the steak juice kinda drowned that out a bit. Every so often I would get a tasty bite of the garlic parmesan, and it was GOOD! So, maybe next time I’ll ask for an extra shake of the cheese. I should be concerned that I could see the fat that would slowly clog my arteries, but my taste buds won me over. I would definitely get that again!

Tried them at UT Arlington during homecoming, it was closer to the end of the night, and someone from Jack’s was trying to get rid of cupcakes… WHAT? ME ME ME ME!!!
but seriously, she must’ve handed out at least two trays of the caramel cupcakes. I’m not a big sweets fan, but that was daaang good. I thought, «oh this is what caramel truly tastes like… what have I been eating my whole life?».
Free awesome cupcakes is the best way to stick your name in the consumer’s head. Yay Jack’s!

Everyone’s peeing their pants about food trucks, but we still have a long way to go. Greasy, overpriced, eating in 110 degree weather, unpredictable location. I’ll stick with my old friend, the air conditioner.

I wanted to like Jacks a lot more than I did.
I happened to have been at the downtown Sheraton when I passed by Jacks set up in the arts district. A few U-​turns and one compact parking spot (that my car definitely cannot fit in) later and I’m there. No warm hello, no– what brings you here? any questions? have you ever been here before? thanks for coming out, how about this weather? no small talk, NUFFIN– in fact barely a hello. I get its really hot outside, and they had just opened, but I’m a stickler for customer service. I guess I just got spoiled at Nammi where both of the owners were so so so sweet, asked questions and really seemed to appreciate their customers. I just wanna be appreciated DAMNIT!
Onto the food… I did have to drive mine all the way back to North Dallas, so I didn’t deduct a star for the wimpy cajun fries, they looked crisp and right out of the fryer when they handed me it initially. I will assume had I consumed them right away they would have been on point. The pulled pork grilled cheese was missing something, maybe more cheese, maybe pickles (mm pickles), maybe more bbq sauce– infact I think it was missing all those. It wasn’t bad by any means, and I devoured it happily with some mustard (I know, I’m weird) but for an 8 dollar sandwich that seems to be the darling of their menu, I was just expecting more.
I feel bad giving them only 3 stars because I am so pumped about the food truck movement here in Dallas. The food was good, above average even, but something missed the mark for me. I will be back and try a burrito or burger next time.

Is it possible to fall in love with a food truck? You will probably see me glued lovingly to the side of the truck whispering sweet nothings and what not. I love this truck. The pulled pork grilled cheese was amazing. The meatball sliders were even better. The meatballs were perfect and fit snugly on a Hawaiian roll with a little bit o’ cheese.
The menu included burgers and portobello burgers, steak fritte, pepperoni eggrolls, Cajun fries and more.
The folks operating the truck were super nice and really asked a lot of questions regarding locations, and what brings you to their truck. They are really trying to please their public.
I’ve hit three of the four trucks I’m aware of, and this one by far is my favorite. Here’s why – I like plain cowboy food. Most food trucks have some fusion of Asian and tortilla going on. This place is busy fusing my meat with cheese in a Texas sort of way. I can take my meat and tater friends to this truck without having to explain what diakon and kimchee are. Don’t get me wrong. I love pickled diakon on my banh mi and caramelized kimchee on my tacos, but it’s hard to convince someone who’s raised on home cooking that they really want sour cabbage and pickled radish on their tacos.
Food for the common man served with uncommon quality! I’m all about that. And it rolls up to my hood. How SWEET is that?!

Truck was parked at Inwood Tavern last night.
I don’t get the hype. Pulled pork grilled cheese was ok. To be called a grilled cheese, it really needs more cheese and some spice would help. Cajun fries tasted like plain olé everyday shoe string fries. Zero spiciness.
I’ll try them again but honestly the rest of the menu didn’t look that appetizing. We’ll see.
