Jack Allen's Kitchen - American restaurant in Cedar Park - 1345 E Whitestone Blvd, USA

An interesting blend of Tex-Mex & Southwestern style food. Our group ordered different items from around the menu, everyone enjoyed their selections. The quesadilla w barbacoa appetizer had a sweet hint to it, meat was tender and moist w caramelized onions. Not a huge sized one, more like medium. House made pimento cheese spread tasted exactly like pimento cheese LOL. 13 spiced chicken pasta looked pretty good, and judging by a clean plate, I bet my son really enjoyed it! I had the, pan seared mole verde shrimp tacos. Wasn't quite expecting the mole verde sauce as plentiful as it with pumpkin seeds, but it was pretty tasty. The black beans and rice seemed a little bland compared to all the other dishes, but I really prefer heavily seasoned food myself. Mom also had a wedge salad that was huge, a half a head of lettuce.! She couldn't eat but half, so she eagerly fit it in a to-go box. We were able to watch the, hostess prepare the "chalk board" for the daily specials and oh man is she one skilled craftsman with the paint pen.!!!! Definitely more upscale than a place where you order a #2 with sprite. Wait staff recommended some of their other favorites to try next time, looking forward to trying those items next visit.!

We always love the food here. Everything we have tried has been amazing. All our servers have always been incredible. There is a wait depending on what day/time you plan on going. But the food is well worth it. I would recommend always trying whatever specials they have going on. Last time they had a skillet fried shrimp and coleslaw appetizer and it was delicious.

First visit today. Hopefully not my last, even though I am rarely in this part of the state. Party of 5 for lunch. I had the special of salmon cakes with fried green tomatoes, topped with red pepper and arugula and remoulade that was the best I've ever had. We shared the chunky layered guacamole queso, and OH my goodness!!! We devoured it. Prompt, friendly service. Other meals at the table were pork tenderloin medallions, fried pork chop (biggest I have ever seen), spicy chicken sandwich, and crab stuffed chicken. Portions were large and everyone loved their choices. I think you can't go wrong here!

Very good food and an awesome waitress. Fried catfish was cooked perfectly, salad was fresh and crisp. I had made a reservation, so we entered with only a minimal wait of less than 5 minutes.

This place has unbelievably fantastic service! Our waitress was top-notch!!! I wish I got her name!! The food was good.. we had the following Slow-Braised Beef Barbacoa Enchiladas, 5 Cheese Macaroni and Chicken, 13 Spiced Chicken Pasta, House-Made Pimiento Cheese and the Carl & Deanna Miller’s Layered Chunky Queso. The enchiladas meat was really well seasoned, pimento cheese and queso was soooo flavorful. The 13 spice pasta was perfectly executed. However, the big chunks of jalapeño were weird. The disappointment of the night was the 5 cheese macaroni dish.. the chicken was great, but the pasta was super dry & we felt jipped with this dish cause there was NO cheese!!!! A 5 cheese macaroni, and there was a tiny bit of bechamel sauce. It was not good at all. The highlight was the blonde brownie with the candle. This was decadent and full of ooey goodness!

Very good TexMex food. I ordered the barbacoa enchiladas and shared the carnitas tacos and both were delicious. Their guacamole is outstanding and their chips perfect. I went on a Friday evening and had a great experience and sat almost immediately with a party of 4 when picking an outside table. I will definitely come back again with family and friends.

Great brunch with friends today. The cedar park location feels more open and spacious. Great food and service as always.

Excellent food Excellent service. The fried calamari was so crispy and delicious. The chips and salsa while good were my least favorite of everything we tried. The Carne guisada was so delicious and cheesy cooked perfectly tender, with lots of flavor. The chicken sandwich was also amazing Will definitely be back I spotted a lot of plates I wanna give a shot.
