“ Jack Saloon focuses on cuisine inspired by Nashville and the American South, with greater emphasis on Tex-Mex ingredients. For example, the beef tartar is now served with marinated onions, buffalo sauce and marrow bone for carnivorous flair, while the salmon tartar is topped with nachos. An expanded offering of shareable appetizers and vegetables now includes corn ribs, roasted broccoli with ranch sauce and dynamitas made with strips of spicy green bell pepper rolled in a pastry topped with cream cheese and cheddar, then deep-fried. My wife and I had the delight of trying two of the restaurant’s top-rated and most highly recommended burgers. The first was the “The Australian Stockmen” burger, built on a soft, pillowy brioche bun. At the heart of this burger was a juicy, hearty beef patty topped with a tangy spread of goat cheese. The zesty pop of pickled beets added an unexpected bite, balanced by fresh spinach, ripe tomatoes, and sharp red onion. But the piece de resistance was the blueberry mayo, lending a sweet, fruity contrast to the savory layers. The result? An explosion of unconventional flavors that melted in my mouth. It was a strange yet deeply satisfying combination, like nothing I’ve ever tasted before in a burger. The second burger, “The Crispy Avocado-Ranch Chicken,” was equally impressive. Served on a toasted sesame seed bun, this burger featured a perfectly breaded chicken breast with a crispy, golden exterior. Cool, crisp iceberg lettuce and juicy tomatoes provided a refreshing contrast, while jalapenos delivered a fiery kick. What set this burger apart was the creamy, indulgent avocado-ranch sauce, which added a smooth, rich finish to every bite. This unique flavor combination gave the burger an air of sophistication and truly set it apart. Both meals were accompanied by a generous serving of succulent, perfectly cooked house fries, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Each fry was golden-brown and seasoned to perfection, achieving that delicate balance of crunch and fluffiness that can only be described as heavenly. Paired with a side of rich, spicy mayo for dipping, the fries offered an irresistible combination of heat and creaminess, elevating this classic side to a whole new level of indulgence. Jack Saloon’s burgers are expertly crafted, blending premium meats, inventive toppings, and top-notch ingredients to offer an unforgettable dining experience. Whether you’re a devoted burger lover or seeking something out of the ordinary, Jack Saloon delivers a mouthwatering meal that impresses you with both its bold flavors and striking presentation. To quench your thirst like a saloon frequented by the cowboys of the American West, Jack Saloon is a place where you arrive early after work to drink a beer, eat and unwind, and where the evening ends very late. In a nod to the days of the Wild West, when cowboys drank a beer after work to quench their thirst and a shot of whiskey to relax, Jack Saloon offers keg beer on special every day from 4 pm to 7 pm, and a free shot of whiskey in a nod to the Boiler Maker. -Tony Medeiros MtlRestoRap ”
