Reviews of Jimmy Jack's Rib Shack & Craft Bar

M. N.

Overall great experience. We were passing through Whangarei and decided to give this a try. Good George Beer is great. Service is good too. For signature dish place it was good too. Have we tried something similar or better? Yes. But surely worth a try. Great place and ambience. overall great experience.

F. C.

Great food and great service. The atmosphere was really cool along with the music. Prices are okay for what you get. The steak served on a hot plate was really neat as you can cook it yourself just how you like it!

c. l.

Wonderful food Awesome staff can't wait to go again

K.

I love these place! The atmosphere, the food and the dessert are fantastic! Also the staff are kind.

a.

Friendly staff. Great service. Loved the burgers. Would definitely recommend.

W. B.

Enjoyed the customer service here, staff were great at making us feel welcome and the atmosphere was relaxing. The food was great, sausages need more oomph but overall good experience!

N. S.

Yummy yummy yummy ribs and steak... Me and husband order the ribs and steak, and it was so delicious.. Good and fast service. Affordable price for a yummy dish.. Also, the atmosphere is really make you want to stay longer.. :-) Recommend for anyone who craving some good food around Whangarei.

T. H.

Glad we stopped here. Everything was good. Nice spacious seating area so ideal for us as a family with younger kids. Great value we got the $50 platter and a cheesy garlic bread. The crab dip was my favourite.

B. I.

What an awesome rib place! Very reasonably priced and omg tasty ribs and seafood chowder! Hubby had the Lobster steak meal which you cooked the steak on a hotstone but the hotpot with tiny overcooked lobster tail with chorizo, potatoes and corn was odd and underwhelming. But overall great service and atmosphere.

T.

Amazing night. Great customer service (didn’t catch his name, but the older guy that served us was superb) great way to spend your birthday night or night in general. The cookie dessert was AMAZING. The food is to die for. Had a collection though out our table and we all tried abit of it all and all enjoyed. This was our first time here and Will definitely recommend and will be back for sure!

B. S.

The food was cooked to perfection, the staff were courteous and attentive, was my wifes birthday, she was very happy. We will be back indeed🔥🔥🔥🔥 Buddah Stixx - Producer

R. F.

Pretty good spot for a beer and huge selection of tasty pub style food. I had one of the ribs and they were excellent. Good selection of beers and wine etc. Nice helpful staff too.

A. T.

We waited a bit for a table to free up but the food made up for it, it was delicious. We had a group of 9 with kids, kids kept themselves busy with the activity sheet 👪👨‍👩‍👦‍👦👩‍👧 Staff were friendly and easy to talk to 👌👌 Would definitely recommend this place and we will be back thats for sure. 💯💯

T.

Meat party for burger was sub par, ribs were ok and their sauce was good. Fish and chips were great, fresh and delicious.

Great family friendly environment, cheap kids meals. Family enjoyed it, will be back.

Love the set up, friendly staff and great communication. Yummy food.❤❤❤

Z. S.

Awesome service! Awesome food! Awesome place!! Highly recommended! They had a great deal for me and my fiances.

G. A.

Great if you a after a serious meat feed. They should use a little more salt on the dishes to inhance the flavours. Wish there was more vegetables/ salads as part of the meal....

R.

Friendly staff, nice food, good service.would be cool if customers could choose songs 2 be played!

C. W.

Amazing place to eat,great atmosphere and most of all, the best service

M. B.

Very lovely food and a great quantity. My only complaint is that my meal was only warm and not hot when it was served to me.

C. S.

Loved the whole atmosphere, very country. Meal was delicious and very friendly, helpful staff. Great restaurant for families.

S. L.

Fantastic service, despite the wait time. Food is great. I got the 3 stone custom stonegrill, and a on tap cider (plum). Really pleased with the experience. Happy to visit again

A. J.

I got soaking wet in Auckland and the only clothes I had was a pair of old shorts and tee shirt. I apologised for my appearance, but was welcomed in like a lost old friend (1st visit). Pippa, my server was awesome in looking after me. The food was yummy and atmosphere welcoming. Will definitely return….

K. N.

Have been here a few times. Always an amazing experience. quick service and great food.

W.

Great food, great atmosphere and excellent service with friendly staff. Enjoyed our visit and highly recommended 😀

B. H.

Always lovely ribs. Friendly staff. Nicely set out with a good selection of food

G. B.

Haven't tasted better ribs anywhere else in NZ and the plus is the price. The share platter for 2 is a fib, they should rather say it's for 4 people because it is bloody hugeeeeeee lol. The service and atmosphere is top class too. This is a must stop place for any serious foodie.

D. C.

5 star for the service , waiter and waitresses top notch. We got premium platter. Food was ok not great. Need more flavour and seasoning on food. The platter is a lot of potatoes. If the food matched the service would definitely be back. If you proper American food or can cook this style at home you wont be blown away.

H.

Best value for money option when feeding a family, and the food is pretty good too 😋

A. T.

Succulent, fall-of-the-bones pork ribs with yummy sauce and generous portion. I tried the full-ribs with onion rings, and wings, and I can't finish them all. The onion rings are made from real sliced onion rings, not the reconstructed mashed/chopped onion. Staff members are friendly and accommodating. Just remember to bring your table number when you pay for your meals.

T. B.

Great ribs worth the buck. So soft you dont even need teeth! Enough to take home for dinner. Great service too and the food is quick for those impatient chaps. Spoil the family and pop in you will not regret it.

A. l.

Awesome again, we love the food here. Service is good. Booking a table is abit frustrating though.

j. b.

I've got to say this is one of the best places ive been to in awhile, the service was exceptional, food was amazing and the prices were very reasonable. The only downfall that i could come up with is the carparks were not in the best shape or very well lit. But in all honesty that doesn't bother me in the slightest.

F. M.

I would just like to say that this place had the best customer service that I have experienced in a long time. I visited for dinner on 02 April. I gave 4 stars due to the fact that the food was good but not amazing. Service was friendly, extremely prompt and I was impressed at how many staff members were working. Well done!

W. H.

Staff member Luke was great, always checking in. Food was ok

V.

Reasonably priced hearty and flavour filled food. Friendly staff.

H. V. R.

I was expecting really good ribs in this place but... nothing especial. The service was a little bit disappointing.

E. C.

Their ribs is one of the best I ever had, it is delicious and the portion size is satisfiable. But, the service is bad, I had to walk to the bar desk for them to come and make the order for me.

M.

We hit a Tuesday night special. Ribs were great and the chocolate milkshake excellent. Coffee with personality was also good.

K. S.

Food was good, filled the spot!! I had the steak, chips and creamy mushroom sauce for lunch. Waitresses were quite rude though, but the young waiter was awesome and attentive.

C. C.

We recently visited Jimmy Jacks again after a really bad experience a few months ago. I placed a review based on our experience and the manager got in contact with me to apologise and to find out exactly what happened. Long story short, it seems as though it was an isolated issue with an employee who no longer works there. I was very impressed with how they dealt with it and the service we received second time round was flawless. Super happy with it! The only suggestion I would make is to please add some more customisable vegetarian options to the menu for when vegetarians and vegans come here with family and friends and don't want to miss out.

p.

Nice spot pretty nice food service was good would defo recommend

J.

Great food! Service was meh

J. M.

Very nice family place to go relax and enjoy good food. Thank you for a good services. Love this place

X.

Great food and great service. It’s worth the drive from Auckland.😍😍😍😍

L. D.

Highly recommended. We ordered Round House Chicken & Ribs, Prawn skewers and small green salad. The platter came with large portion that suited for two of us; rib was well marinated and juicy; chicken thighs were also tendered n delicious.

N. 1.

Delicious ribs, you can choose the music that plays in the restaurant, really nice looking.

A. A. B.

Went with my family for dinner and we ordered the The Premium Rib Platter, 4 people and we couldn't finish it 😁 it was delicious and grabbed leftovers for home. The Ribs were my favorite, absolutely delicious. Great Service and Great Food!

M. Z.

The best burger and ribs in Whangarei. We really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere here. Definitely recommend

l. l.

Ambiance excellent staff professional presentation had the wow factor I didnt get to try the meat platter I can see why people enjoy this restaurant as a group. Meeting with family was planting memory seeds for me..... Meeting my mokos and my son's Kerikeri and Dunedin family was priceless 😊🌺

J. P.

Great food you get what you order and thats awesome!

M.

Amazing Food...Whangarei Branch Staff name Sunny is very cool and nice... Came for veg Nachos and Sunny also recommended and they were fantastic.. Must go place to eat.Grest service...

J.

Great place for comfort food. Big servings.

H. W.

It's good, I just wanted a little more authentic Q. Massive portions for what you pay though so if you leave here Hungry your not trying hard enough! Make sure you get the peanut butter skillet cookie!

T. T.

Great Service & Food, Able to accommodate our large group last minute. Ribs were tender falling off the bone, the best ribs ever. Lobster pot was also a hit . Definitely coming back. Thanks Jimmy Jack's.

S. A.

Service was good, food was even better. The atmosphere was awesome. It was our first time in Whangarei and it was our first night. Lets just say it was the Great Start to our trip. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to have a good meal in a good atmosphere. Will visit them again. Try the Crab Dip yuuum

P.

Great staff, perfect portion sizing, delicious menu.

J. B.

Legendary for a reason! Awesome place, amazing food and some superstar waitstaff. The ribs a must try, the tasting platter outstanding. Make sure you leave some space for dessert, the skillet cookie is not to be missed

S.

Value for money, excellent food and good old fashioned service. Will visit whenever we head through from now on. Easy 5 star

P. S.

Lots of room. Good value for money. The service was fast. Food was delicious. I had the stone grill.

N. A.

It was our first time dining at Jimmy Jacks Rib Shack on Saturday evening... On arrival we were seated straight away, service was spot on, staff were efficient throughout our evening, making sure we had drinks & our table was cleared promptly after each course, there are plenty of choices on the menu (we had to ask our waitress twice to come back to take our order) the food was fresh, hot, well presented & delicious. The ribs were tender & so yummy!! The dessert menu looked good, but we were all to full to try any, so maybe next time. We had a great evening at Jimmy Jacks Rib Shack and will definitely be dining there again soon.

R.

Great food, great service

Y.

Absoulutely stunning food. Ordered the $100 rib platter with my family of 4 and only nearly managed the lot. Taste is out of this world and the restaurant atmosphere is very nice. I'll definately be coming back.

F. G.

definetely a must try if you're in the area.. nice location.. good ambience and great food..

J.

Service was patchy. Too interested in chatting to serve at the bar. Very quick to be present when I wanted to pay my tab. Good beer though.

G. H.

A very strong three stars. Food was quick, nicely flavored and presented. My chicken was a little dry however the ribs were succulent, moist and tender. I would definitely go again.

M. Q.

Good food ,great value for money. One suggestion though for larger groups the rules are that you can only order certain things off the menu, but yet we get given the whole menu, maybe save a bit of confusion for both the customer and waitress and maybe create a separate menu for larger groups stating specifically what you can order? Other than that everything was great.

N.

I was up in Whangarei on holiday last week,and my best friend who is a local said to me “I’m taking you to the yummiest Restaurant in town” and boy was she right! Excellent food,awesome service and friendly staff..What more could I want...(a ‘Jimmy Jack’s Rib Shack’ in Christchurch would be awesome😉👍🏻)

C. S.

Fab dinner as usual at Jimmy jacks with the fam! We got in early (before 5) so didn’t have to wait long. Initially we received the wrong platter but the team were more then happy to remedy this and we got our replacement quickly without a hassle. We received awesome service from Sharlene as we have in the past, she’s always on the ball and always has a smile and friendly service. Food was great, kids loved it too- couldn’t ask for more. Cheers guys

G.

The food was very good, ribs lovely like always. Sea food was tasty. The staff were very friendly and accommodating.

J. W.

Ok ribs, calamari was nice, just gutted that the first knife I pulled from the on table basket was dirty. And Google restaurants guide is wrong...they don't do takeaways.

P. G.

Awesome food, great service.

M.

Oh my gosh had the seafood chowder then rib platter to share with crab dip...awesome. Friendly service made to feel welcome from the start. Will come again.

K. T.

Fantastic food. Great service. Don't come here on a diet, but do come if you live good comfort food. Enjoyed every bite. Very family friendly too.

L.

Great service and very large portion.

V. H.

Awesome service Very helpful and friendly staff. Food really yummy and very good portions. Totally recommend 5/5

J.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. Our waiter was attentative and obviously loved his work. The food was tasty and came to the table quickly. Highly recommend 👌

M. v. d. M.

Love this place. Always on the to do list up North (Whangarei & Paihia). Delicious Ribs a plenty. Great range of beer on tap and excellent service every visit so far.

C.

OMFG...food was spot on. Service was fantastic. Can't fault anything. Well done guy and girls. This was a must do stop on our travels....definitely coming back!. The crab dip is to die for!.

H. D.

After reading reviews i was skeptical about coming here. But once there, we found everything perfect. We turned up Friday night around 6.45pm and even though they were busy, the 4 of us were given a table within 5 minutes. We were told there would be a wait of 20 minutes before we could order but that ended up being only 5 minutes. We ordered ribs, salmon, a Kiwi burger and fish & chips and everyone enjoyed their meals. Dessert was cheesecake and warm apple pie. Very yummy! The waitresses were helpful, friendly and very efficient. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be returning. A+.

J. Y.

Service was great. Food and environment were really good. Wings, sausage, wedges and crab dip were good. The bacon and cheese cob is amazing and a must order! The ribs however were disappointing. Their motto is smoked, cooked low and slow. Our ribs didn't taste like they were smoked. Just boiled and then covered in a sub standard BBQ sauce. Would still recommend going just don't order the ribs.

K.

One of the best places to buy burgers from and eat at of course!

S. M.

We had quite a long wait to get a table, but the food and service was on point. I had a large rib platter, food was ready in less than 30 min for our group of 11 people. It was delish! Waiter was funny / polite. Great experience.

J.

Had my mums birthday dinner here, really impressed with the service, waitress was fantastic really polite an made sure we had everything we needed.. food was very delicious i shared a meat platter an had a burger mmmmm .everyone i was with enjoyed there meals.. very good value. Also let us sneak a cake in an blast happy birthday when they bring out cake.. would definitely visit again next time im in whangarei...cheers

a.

Just been to Jimmy Jacka Whangrei with my lady friend. As usual even more so tonite the waiting staff were attracive , excellent, and faultless. Bar Staff fantastic especially the guy with the american accent. we loved the food. Perfect . Thankyou. We will be back

S. H.

Ribs and garlic bread was absolutely amazing, they are one of the best I have tried I also loved the prawn cocktail. I did not enjoy the crab dip, or the chicken wings. Overall great value for money and family atmosphere

D.

Crab dip was delicious and so was the sausage. Ribs were good but the chicken wings were a little burnt and lacking in flavor. Service was good

M. S.

Staff were really friendly and attentive. Nice family restaurant vibe. Food seemed good value for money. Servings weren't oversized like some rib places where you end up wasting food. We'd go again, place quickly filled up after we got there so could be worth booking on a Friday.

M. B.

Food was top notch.Our waitress was on point,.my Gurnard Burger was delicious.The batter was divine.The platters were delectable.Four family members were celebrating birthdays and were treated to a choux pastry cake with a candle on it..Will definitely be back.

K. L.

We were a party of 8 and arrived without booking on a Thursday night approximately 7pm. It was quite busy; there were a couple of birthday celebrations. The service was excellent throughout and we didn't have to wait long for our orders. The food was delicious and very filling!

T.

The most perfectly smoked sweet chicken, fall of the bone jucy ribs, cheesy garlic and bacon bread to die for. And the sauses, mmmmmm. Just do it. You will not regret it. Kind happy staff. We Left so full I couldn't move.

M. W.

Great food and beverage and good prices too!

A.

Atmosphere colorful and expressive. Vegan dishes limited but delicious. Range of meat and seafood dishes tasty and plentiful. Engaging staff good service.

M. B. (.

Been before and everything was fast, friendly & delicious but went again last night & was not the best. Was seated immediately which was awesome but never had a waiter tend to us, not for even drinks. Got the attention of staff twice and was ignored, ended up walking out with hungry kids screaming.

G. C.

Good atmosphere, heavy meals but still nice, large Menu.

H. L.

Unfortunately my meal was much to small for the price i paid. It was cooked well and anything but when it was placed in front of me waa bit of a disappointment due its size. I ended up ordering another meal to fill the void. Good beer and lovely starf. Very spacious not cramped or to noisy.

F. S.

My husband and I enjoyed a great night at Jimmy Jacks, Whangarei, couldnt fault the service let alone the food. Will definitely be back to enjoy a great night of food, drinks and service . Well done.

M. “. P.

Great place. Nice place to come with a group and they have high chairs for the little one. Got a couple of rib stacks and some side. Wait time was short and staff were friendly and most of all the ribs are awesome.

D. M.

Good service and food, not willing to do anything not on the menu (e.g. Macchiato), but understandable with a busy place like that. I'd have liked to have seen more than one brand of craft beer (Good George only) but the Doris plum cider is delicious so can't be completely upset. Overall a good experience, and the chicken wings were very tasty.

M. M. M.

Had a great time good food and clearly very popular because people were flooding in, definitely want to do the challenge one day.

L. B.

Never heard of so many birthdays going off in one night, must be that new years love 🤣. But seriously I had a great time, the beers weren't too expensive, the staff were very efficient and didn't mix or miss out anything with our order. Also, Sundays give you free dessert 😁. That's almost a good enough excuse to travel to Whangarei 🤣

T.

A treat. Service quick cheerful. Love eating here. Huge selection.

C. P.

Food and service are always on point here.. always leaving here happy and full.. thank use 😊

d.

Great food and friendly staff. Had a great day

V.

Delicious food, fast service, good menu. Everyone's meal was delicious.

M. M.

Love coming here. Plenty of space with loads of friendly and helpful staff. Great for kids with a menu to suit. Genourous portions, offering great steaks and seafood and of course the famous ribs which are to die for. The dessert menu is also extensive and filling.

A. A.

we had a good lunch here today. would have offered a 5 star until i was charged 1$ for a cardboard take away container. cost them more in a lost tip.

B. P.

Very generous portion sizes. The ribs felt more sticky sweet than smokey goodness but were tasty and tender. They handled our group of 10+ effortlessly. Overall a positive and plesant experience.

S. C.

Fast, a little pricey, nice flavours, friendly staff, dry chicken

K.

We love the Ribs and onion rings here. The lights are too dim to read the menus but we managed and still returned!!

W. M. D.

Very good food Very good service!

P. B.

Not Gourmet Dinning, not meant to be. BBQ pork ribs cooked to perfection with a range of plates. Deserts were different but delicious. Full Bar service

A.

Amazing good size meals reasonable prices and very friendly staff definitely recommend.

D.

The food was fantastic, the service was friendly prompt and professional, the atmosphere was pleasently relaxed. Great night. We will be back.

T.

A great family dinning experience. Excellent service. The meals cooked to perfection. Highly recommended.

M.

Great place for a meal at reasonable prices. Normally the steak is good but had a steak meal at the weekend and was pretty disappointing. My brother and sister in law had the steak burgers and had to leave the steak as they couldn't chew it. Not sure what's going on but hope they pick up their game in future.

S.

Really nice atmosphere. Service was fast and friendly. A great place to go for a family meal or a group of any size. We will be back again.

J. A.

It looks exactly like every American chain family restaurant ever, and has a menu to match that. The ribs are great. 4 stars because I'm not a fan of Good George beer. But if you are a Good George fan, this is gonna be 5 stars for you.

M. M.

Awesome family atmosphere, very friendly and welcoming staff. Couldn't recommend a better family restaurant. Absolutely delicious food, the ribs are SUPERB!!!

K. R.

Great Ambience, service, Yummy with Gaming Area

V. W.

Delicious food! between us we had the pasta, ribs and wings with the honey pot sauce. The pasta was Devine, it was creamy and indulgent, chicken ontop was perfectly cooked. Ribs were good the sauce was delish but not completely falling off the bone. THE WINGS. I couldn’t believe how much flavour the sauce had. No heat at all though in terms of spice but still really tasty. Good portion sizes, worth the price. Would recommend. Also service was good and fairly quick!

S.

Went for lunch at around 2pm. Was very quiet which was very nice. The staff were very friendly and the food was fantastic.

H. A.

Love going to Jimmy Jack's it's a great place to dine, great food atmosphere vibe and service. I've never been dissapointed. Thanks for always making our family and friends visits awesome 👍 Nga Mihi Kia kaha to the establishment 😊

N. L.

Premium platter is worth it. Nice restaurant, tasty food, great service. The place was very busy Easter Sunday. We had a party of 5 but only had to wait about 15 minutes.

K.

First time there,went with family. The staff & service they provided was outstanding & the food was absolutely delicious. Will definitely be going back. 10 out of 10.

D. H.

Great place to eat. This place actually does good ribs!!

J.

Been here several times. Friendly service and reasonably sized meals. Guaranteed that someone will be celebrating their birthday.

K. T.

Excellent food, great service, lovely facilities and a great atmosphere. We had a party of 33 and all were pleased with the meal. No complaints from anyone.

P. D.

Awesome place for great food and friendly service. Seriously, when I say great food, I mean GREAT food and plenty of it. Make sure you arrive hungry, you won't be disappointed

D.

Very friendly staff. Delicious food. Got a bbq to share, it had 2 types of fries but not salad. Music was too loud

H.

The mediocre ribs, had a side of mediocre chicken wings, match that with their mediocre selection of craft beer (the guest ale was Monteith's, the rest of the selection was good george, wouldn't say that's a craft beer bar as much as a sham), made for a very mediocre and somewhat disappointing birthday meal. If you're really badly craving ribs, I'd say maybe go, if you're wanting to try something new, try something else.

E.

Great food, we were sitting outside it started to rain asked to move inside was accommodated.

J. K.

Welcoming staff -very friendly and attentive. Beautiful food - fresh salad, yummy potatoes and the steak was the best I have ever had... loved it A fun atmosphere After a week of ghastly weather this cheered me up no end

l.

Great food and Great service from the staff. Highly recommend Jimmy Jack's

C.

Meat eaters heaven. Not many healthy options for seafood or veggies. Great selection of beers and wine. Good bar spaces inside and out. Outdoor area would be better without smokers.

E. B.

I always like the food there but last time we got there a few people in our table their food was cold. They heated up for us but you can't eat ribs room temperature and then heated in the microwave. ... anyway the service was good though and we had a fun night nevertheless

E.

Big, noisy, busy, fun atmosphere. Amazing food within the theme - you pay for what you get: big portions! Superb staff.

M.

Awesome the food was beautiful and staff were great

C.

Awesome service and excellent food, fully recommend

p.

Awesome family restaurant, it was so easy,good staff amasing assistance helpful and friendly. Cost to eat is perfect...for 7 kids and 3 adults recommend this place to anyone

B.

Fantastic atmosphere, staff and food. Great family friendly restaurant.

A. E.

Predictably good. We come here often and normally order the platter . It's good but they could add a lettuce or green salad. But everything is lovely

A. W.

The best ribs that I have ever tasted. Really cost effective menu with new and innovative menu ideas coming out each year. The only down side are the drinks at the bar.

D.

Superb steak. Great atmosphere. Everyone in our party enjoyed their meal.

s.

We have be there a lot for dinner. But this time the music was to loud went up and ask could it be turn down the guy behind the bar said it was all right. But turn it down but after awhile it went up again. When you go out for dinner you like to abled to hear what the person next to you is saying but it was hard with the music. If we wanted music that loud you go to the RSA or other places so you could dance. But we were out to dinner with my stepdaughter and kids at Jimmy jack we all Love our food But the Music was to Loud.

t.

Very good food. I really liked it here and would come again anytime

S.

Food and service were good, birthday bash, caters for all age groups

T.

Amazing ribs!!!!! Food is great music is average atmosphere is perfect as I like beer. And has a pub feel to one side. Definitely coming back.

S. M.

Excellent service. Great food. Perfect portions. Really attentive staff thank you Missy and your team.

o.

We often visit and order a slab of their pork ribs which tends to be inconsistent. Somedays ribs are better cooked than the other (perfectly cooked or overcooked and jerky) . The secret sauce is a kicker and Maryland crab dip to die for. Service: 4 Food: 4 Ambiance: 5 Child friendly: 5 Value for money: 4/5 Cost for 2: $50

M.

Amazing food very professional quick service amd Nick was a great waiter five star plus for us

J. H.

Loved the food. Nice place will go again.

Y.

Great local restaurant/bar within Whangarei. Awesome and conversational staff who served great food. The food my family and I received was delicious.

R.

Awesome place for the meat lovers, great staff

S.

Have just got home from lunch at Jimmy Jacks. The lunch was lovely. We were a fairly large group and the service was very good. Definitely going back.

S.

Mean spot to go for a beer n ribs, also been for the steak, pasta while in whangarei for work..

H.

Booking is essential if you don't like waiting. Prices are between $19 and $99. Very measly serving of chips with the meals, not even half a 'punnet'. Burger was average and the price of a beer was outrageous, even for a reasturaunt.

H.

The wait is a little long and have been told the wait could be up to 45 mins at some times. The food and atmosphere was overall good though, this is a loud place and wouldn't recommend it for anything romantic. Almost everything comes with a side of chips.

S. H.

Food was great good sized portions at a reasonable price serving staff were prompt and efficient, however can't give 5 stars because the old guy behind the bar was grumpy and Un welcoming.

J.

Would highly recommend the ribs here the curly fries and the wedges love love love

b.

Easy parking for elderly folk. Able to share meals as usual servings too big. Staff very helpful.

b.

JJ accommodated a large group easily, served us quickly, with tender & juicy ribs with delicious sides. Beers were great, too!

B.

The love of Ribs...You can't go wrong, best by far. Nice friendly staff, bar drinks pretty good and pokies if you like...win to be on the board, 2 slabs of ribs, chips and a beer in 30mins. A must if you love ribs.

K.

I'm not normally one to frequent these types of establishment, but I have been into Jimmy Jacks on multiple occasions now, and always found it to be great value for money, good tucker, a convivial atmosphere and best of all cheerful and friendly staff. Keep it up! Great work!

M.

Very busy. Burger not great. Chicken dry and overcooked. Great service.

R.

Once again very pleasant staff food vwas absolutely yummy always good to go to Whangarei Jimmy Jacks and be served by a great lperson calked Liegh .

P.

Had the Wednesday $20 Special... RIBS, WINGS & WEDGES...good portion and delicious. Was in early so quiet but people rolling in and atmosphere building. Great people getting together place

M.

Took on the Big Rib Challenge... What a delicious feed! Meat fell away and was done to perfection. Thanks to all the staff for making it a fun visit, hopefully can come back one day soon.

A great selection of food reasonably priced great for social events always end up with left overs so great portions. Staff attitudes moderate but it is a very fast paced environment.

Waiters took a very long time to bring water to out table, asked us to order drinks before we had water on the table, I think I found a piece of hair or fluff in my salad otherwise good place.
