Jack’s

Giving one star because this establishment’s A/​C works well and it is a cool respite from the summer heat. The food was mediocre at best. At least our burgers were warm. Someone sitting across from us said his chicken was cold which matched the attitude of the employees. When I mentioned the catsup container was empty I got «whaaat?» I repeated the statement but got no acknowledgement much less a «thank you.» I realize Red Bay has few choices but after this visit I believe it has one less — at least for us.

Good food, fast service. The green beans are to die for! I would just go there for the green beans.
This local fast food joint is busy at lunchtime due to the RV manufacturing businesses in town so if you are flexible make your stop after 12:30 for lunch and you won’t have to fight the crowds. They serve breakfast too but we didn’t get there early enough to try their chicken biscuits. Maybe next time!
I enjoyed the chicken finger dinner with fries and green beans (did I mention I LOVED the green beans?) and a biscuit. Reasonably priced, good, fast food. My husband had a burger and fries. He said it was very good.
The drive through seemed to stay busy and they were very efficient at serving the walk in customers. The dining room was clean and well kept which says a lot considering the volume of customers they had served while we were there.
Very impressed.

Jack’s was surprisingly good! As one of the other reviewers pointed out, there are not a whole lot of options in Red Bay. I am a snob when it comes to coffee, so many times it is bitter and oily at «fast food» type restaurants. The coffee was pretty good — obviously freshly brewed (we were at Jack’s during breakfast).
The food was good, better than average. We had the deluxe breakfast, with sausage. For about $ 4.50 the servings were more than ample! The sausage was seasoned nicely, the grits were good (I am usually not a fan, but their’s were pretty good).
If there was a negative, it was that the gravy was room temp. However, that might have been because there was some confusion with our order and it may have set longer than usual. We could have asked for a warm up, but with so much food we weren’t probably going to eat it anyway (although I did taste it and it had good flavor).
The employees were pleasant, even had a gal going around in the dining area topping off coffee for those of us drinking it.
Another benefit, that we did not partake of since we were having breakfast, they have Blue Bell ice cream! (Elizabeth Taylor and my husband’s go to ice cream brand!)
Would I go back? Sure would — and probably will while in Red Bay getting our Tiffin rig serviced.

This is a fast food chain, not a locally-​owned restaurant. That said, the biscuits and sausage gravy were fairly tasty, bacon was crisp, and the scrambled eggs passable. The price was right — two full breakfast meals and coffee for about $ 12. Reviews are relative, so while I would not eat at a place like this in my hometown, Jack’s is one of the best options available in Red Bay.

Always predictable. Good fried chicken and good hamburgers. It’s a pretty good place for breakfast although at times the french fries & hashbrowns taste like the oil is old.
