Mr Jack'ss Sports Grill - East Tawas

We picked this restaurant for its pet friendly outdoor seating. But the real surprise was the incredible food! My brisket sandwich was absolutely amazing tender meat wrapped in freshly baked pizza dough folded in half like a calzone. As a brisket lover who smokes their own, I was blown away by the flavor and quality. No complaints here! The brisket platter we also ordered feeds two easy. The crunchy fries everybody got was an instant hit for everyone. We also ordered chicken tenders (no photo of that one), and those were solid 5 out of 5 in the chicken tender category.

Pretty good food. Basic bar stuff, pets on leash are welcome outside

This place has the largest outdoor seating of any restaurant in the area. Also, the food is fantastic and decently priced. I had a scallops and they were amazing. Here’s a quick tip if you grab an outside table try to get one next to the building as we did because while we were there, it started to drizzle, but the overhang of the building will keep that rain off of you

Ok, so, I’m not an employee or friend of the owner; apparently there are many trying to rig the rating. From the moment we walked in, there was a sense of carefreeness from all but the customers. The staff were all seemingly inexperienced and interrupted by the existence of customers. The hostess let us stand at the greeting podium for a good three minutes without acknowledgement, not two feet away. She kept leaving and looking for “Emily” or whoever as there must have been a pressing issue beyond that of us waiting to be acknowledged. Then, we sat down. The “new” pretzel was on the menu! I love pretzels! So, I ordered it. The kitchen must alternately be an entry-level culinary school as the pretzel came out hard with salt pretty much everywhere EXCEPT on the pretzel (photo attached). It tasted like it was almost deep fried. Now, I’m sure nobody would do such a thing, but, see for yourself. We also ordered fried mushrooms and wouldn’t you know it, they tasted like the pretzel! Our waitress seemed to be very annoyed at anything to do with regard to waiting on a table. Not a “you’re welcome” to our “thank you’s,” no offer to refill coke or water, not a “thanks for coming in!” All-in-all, I recommend the Birger King down the road or ANYWHERE other than this place.

Promptly seated and served. Expansive menu came with great Server recommendations. Mac Chz with the Chicken on it was fantastic
