Austin ChronicleJune 19, 2013Brave the constant crowds and be rewarded with skillfully made, belly-busting, Southwestern-styled comfort food like Chicken-Fried Beef Ribs. Nab a mason jar of amazing pimento cheese on the way out.
Audrey RutherfordJune 26, 2014Amazing service!!!! The trout was to die for--- and I'm not a fish person at all! And the crab dip appetizer was so rich and delicious. Ask your waiter or waitress what's up and you can't go wrong.
Serious EatsFebruary 22, 2013"The Green Chili burger at Jack Allen's Kitchen has got the perfect kick, thanks to green chilies, dill pickles, and jalapeno mayo," says chef Bryce Gilmore. Of course, his dad's the owner here.
Chev WOctober 20, 2018This is the best southern Tex-Mex comfort food brunch I’ve EVER been to! Get there at least 10 minutes before they open to secure a seat.
- Jennifer RuizMay 17, 2018Everything is delicious, but save your appetite & make a reservation for Sunday brunch. They offer a huge buffet and bring you fresh, made to order eggs, silver dollar pancakes and biscuits & gravy.
The fish tacos were light and delicious. Make sure and sit outside during lunch to get the beautiful view of the creek.
Divya MulanjurAugust 31, 2015Missed the fabulous weekend brunch but the green chile cheese burger and chorizo stuffed pork tenderloin medallions more than made up for it 😋
David PittsMarch 8, 2017Chicken enchiladas with the egg were a special, if they have it I highly recommend. Some good Austin beers on tap as well
Hands down the -best- breakfast tacos in SW Austin! Only served weekdays from from 7-9:30, they often sell out earlier when school is in session. Try the "JAK'd Up" - huge and a steal at only $2
Brenda MolinaApril 27, 2013Saturday drink special mimosas, Bloody Mary, screwdriver $3.50 appetizers are a great meal we had fried catfish and appetizer fries. Also salads are awesome. Wedge salad and added bacon and chicken.- Valerie SDecember 26, 2016Great staff, amazing food, awesome drinks. Fat jack burger with avocado is delicious. They also do curbside pick up when it's busy, if you ever order to go.
Mike St. JohnJune 12, 2015Best burger in town! Also, get there during happy hour and order just off the starters menu and get a great meal for 1/2 price.
RachaelDecember 21, 2014Guacamole with pumpkin seeds and cotija cheese, and the GREEN CHILE BURGER were tasty, fancy Christmas-party-hangover-food. Will be back
Joseph VasquezSeptember 22, 2012Try the Tenderloin Steak - With melted goat bleu cheese on a bed or red mashed potatoes and garlic ciabatta bread on the side. Deliciousness on a plate @jackallens
David MooreJanuary 26, 2014Go during happy hour! Half off ALL appetizers. Best to order the appetizers and eat them family style.
- Joseph VasquezSeptember 22, 2012Try the Chorizo Stuffed Pork Tenderloin Medallions - Tender, moist and and seasoning worked well together. Roasted-garlic cream sauce put it over the top @jackallens
Gabriel A CuliatMay 6, 2023Amazing brunch options. Food is very delicious and fresh. Gabriel Culiat will definitely recommend them to family and friends. Staff were very hospitable
Steve HillJuly 18, 2015Texan cookery refined here - patio is the place to be with kiddos, fun to explore by the creek before you get your table
RexAnn ShotwellJune 10, 20115 cheese macaroni is amazing! So is the Cobb salad. You get a free pimento dip and two chips as an appetizer. Great place!
Lon BozarthJanuary 4, 2013My Mom's cream gravy is a lofty mark to hit and these guys get as close as I've ever eaten. Get it on anything fried then spend 2 days in the gym.
Melissa DesrameauxMarch 8, 2014Try the ribeye philly sandwich and add eggs if you're looking to brunch it up (;
Mike BryanFebruary 13, 2013Everything was great! We had a large party and it was super smooth. Our server Josh was well worth the 30% tip we left.
Mariana RodriguezApril 12, 2015Everything is great! Try margaritas, guacamole and handcut grilled tenderloin, blonde dessert was particularly good.
Trent GillaspieApril 14, 2014The Pepperita has some kick! Chili fries and chorizo green chile stuffed pork medallions were perfect for this fatty.

At brunch make sure to try the Tomato Basil Pie and the House Cured Ham.
SissiMarch 11, 2012Kris is awesome. The Pimento dip and house made chips are to die for. I had crispy salmon. Yum yum- Boris JonesMarch 16, 2015The crunchy catfish and slaw is out of this world! Check it here: http://supper.mx/places/jack-allens-kitchen-austin/
