***** Jacks’ Old Fashion Hamburger House, 4201 North Federal Highway, Oakland Park, Florida 33308 (954) 565-9960…&…591 South Cypress Road, Pompano Beach, Florida 33060, (954) 942-2844.
Jack’s Old Fashion Hamburger House has 2 South Florida locations…the Oakland Park joint opened in 1972 and the Pompano Beach store in 1973.
Jack’s is a fast-food hamburger joint. Jack’s has other stuff, but HAMBURGERS ARE THE GAME. Both Jack’s locations are literally “landmarks.” They are always busy. The hamburgers are very-very good. The fries are okay, but nothing to write home about. Over the years, I must have eaten (combined) in the 2 different locations something like 30 times. These joints are fast-food joints circa 1970. I like the “unmodern” (if that’s a real word) look…old tables and no stainless steel/formica/vivid colors/signage that joints like Burger King, Wendy’s etc have. I also like the “crowd” that these joints draw. Guys in suits, families, blue color workers…the parking lots, have cars in every price range…the point, Jack’s has a legendary following in South Florida.
Now for the good news and bad news…To be perfectly honest with you, I use to make special trips to eat at Jack’s…Now that Five Guys Burgers & Fries has started to open in the South Florida market, I would rather eat at Five Guys than Jack’s. Like I said, Jack’s hamburgers are very-very good… while Five Guys’ hamburgers and fries are terrific. Though it’s a story for another day, Five Guys Burgers & Fries is quickly developing a cult following in South Florida…and for that matter, all of the United States.
Don’t get me wrong…you won’t be disappointed eating at Jack’s…which is open 7 days a week from 10:30am-9:30pm…but this 1970’s icon is now getting some real tough competition from Five Guys.
I’ve been eating there for over 25 years. Delicious fast food burgers and french fries. And you are right 5 Guys is better.
I’ve been a Jack’s fan since 1987. For sure a whole lot of competitors have sprung up over the years but Jack’s has stayed at the top of the heap.
I have always wanted to try this place please give me a reason
would love to win!
Love it
As far as 5 guys being better than Jack’s well all I got to say is Jeff, deep down in ur heart you know 5 guys isn’t even close to being as good as Jack’s. 5 guys is in the same league as Burger Fi and all those other specialty burger joints they are just fair at best and way over priced for what they give you. At those places you can only get a well done burger while at Jack’s they won’t do a medium rare burger(the perfect burger) but they will give you one that is cooked medium. A Jack’s medium burger with grilled onions and ketchup can’t be beat!
Jon G,
You must be smoking something.
Jack’s burgers are delicious, but absolutely no match for Five Guys.
