Jack Allen's Kitchen - Southern restaurant (US) in Austin - 3600 N Capital of Texas Hwy Building D, USA

My husband and I had dinner here. We tried the chicken nachitos, the crispy fried catfish and slaw, and the chicken fried New York strip. For dessert had the blondie brownie pie. The food was all delicious. The chicken for the nachos was seasoned well. My husband said his catfish was crunchy, and the sauce gave it a good taste. The country fried steak was juicy and crunchy. It had the right amount of batter and was fried to perfection. The green chili gravy has the right amount of spice for me because I am not a fan of spicy foods. The brownie was a bit too sweet for me, but my husband ate it. Overall, it was great.

Food looks good, but lacks salt and/or seasoning. I don't cook with much salt but I had to add salt and pepper on everything I ate accept the pimento cheese, it was good. I had the guacamole, and chicken pesto crab stuffed chicken. I tried my co workers mac in cheese and it lacked seasoning in my opinion. I went for a group work Christmas lunch. We had to vote on where to go and this is the restaurant that won. It was not my 1st choice since we went last year. I personally would not recommend.

Great restaurant we like. The deep fried New York strip was so crispy and tender.

Love Jack Allen’s was great! The only reason for 4 stars is the trout had no flavor BUT that chicken sandwich was the BEST we’ve ever had. Drinks are well prices and so good! Stacey at the bar was nice and it’s a great vibe. Highly recommended for lunch or brunch and definitely will be back!

I’ve always enjoyed Jack Allen’s Kitchen, especially the original one. The one in Westlake was really off last night. Three couples met for dinner. The server was excellent. Drinks were good and came quickly. Luckily we sat in a corner because it is loud in the restaurant when it is full. Everyone seemed to enjoy the food but the kitchen failed to dress the wedge salad and failed to serve the entree to one of our party. By the time it came our food was cold. I ordered a green chili cheeseburger without the bun. It wasn’t cooked as ordered and very mediocre. No sides. We will give it another try because we know everyone is short handed.

Always a great place to eat and drink. I usually get the Ruby Red Trout Salad every time because it’s awesome! But they had a special this night as a Shrimp Ceviche Tostado entree so I tried it…also awesome! I had the Jack Margarita with it that was spicy but not too much and the German Chocolate Brownie for dessert. It was good but nothing wowing. The strawberry crumble that my husband had was better. Great service!

Food is to die for and service was divine. Definitely recommend this place over and over again Both the pork medallions and the braised beef barbacoa enchiladas were delicious as well as their version of guacamole with pumpkin seeds in it. Not much for their special pimento cheese but everyone else loved it. The gluten free chips were really good.

Parking can be a little tight if you come during peak hour. Plenty in the back of the building, just need to walk a little. Friendly staff and pretty fast service. We did enjoy the food. But not sure why, we got super thirsty after. Food didn't taste that salty all. Will give it another try since it's near by.
