Editorial Review for Jack's Old Fashion Hamburger – by Gail Shepherd

In Short
This burger joint is no more than a brightly lit counter, formica tables and lots of nostalgic photographs of Lauderdale before the deluge. It offers turkey, ham and grilled cheese sandwiches, but unless you're feeling contrary, go for the burgers. These are ground on site from lean beef, hand shaped into patties and grilled (not fried, baked, or broiled). Burgers arrive on a soft white bun with nothing else (lettuce and tomato cost an extra 35 cents). Add your own fixin's from the counter. Wash your burger down with an old-fashioned milkshake.

Was on my way to the beach looking for McDonalds...drove past this little nurger shack with a bunch of cars in the lot. Pulled a u-turn and decided to check it out. Great burgers. Your choice of quarter, third or half pound hamburger or cheesburger. Lettuce and tomatoe cost extra and come sealed in a little zip-lock bag. French fries were OK. Plenty of all the standard condiments (and some of the not-so-standard) at the counter.

Pros: Burgers

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Jack's is great! I should know. I worked there for 9 years! "By word of mouth" is how Jack's has become famous, and that's how you know a restaurant is great! Jack's is clean and the burgers are made fresh daily. No franchise can compare! I left years ago to start another career. But I still consider Jack's team my family. You will get great service with a smile. If something is not to your liking, they'll take care of it. My children and I go when we need a "burger fix". People even come in from out of town for these great burgers! Jack (the owner) is an incredible person and his staff has been there for many years b/c of it. If you want to try something new and fresh, go to Jack's. You will leave there impressed and the experience will make you come back for more!
