We’re proud to be a show sponsor of Drayton Entertainment’s The Odd Couple!

Playing right next door at the St. Jacobs Country Playhouse, The Odd Couple is a fantastic show featuring some great actors, plenty of laughs, and an Oscar & Felix dynamic that’s sure to entertain! 😂

And, of course, don’t forget to stop by Jack’s Family Restaurant for a delicious pre- or post-show meal!

Today marks 16 years since we first opened our doors on July 8, 2010.

Every year when this day comes around, we can't help but look back at how far we've come.

We're incredibly proud to have been serving this amazing community for the past 16 years, and we're so grateful for the support you've shown us along the way.

We've been lucky enough to be part of so many memories... birthdays, family dinners, sports team celebrations, pre-theatre meals, tourist visits, and even just those random Wednesday nights when you just didn't feel like cooking.

We are also proud of our long-time staff. We still have about a half dozen team members who were here on opening day 16 years ago, and we couldn't have done it without their dedication and hard work.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making Jack's a part of your lives for the last 16 years. Here's to many more great meals, great memories, and hopefully another 16 years together!

❤️ Thank you, Waterloo Region!

If you've got a favourite Jack's memory, we'd love to hear it in the comments!

🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦

We'll be celebrating all day long... and yes, we're OPEN July 1st with our regular hours from 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM!

To really get into the Canadian spirit, you could order our Canadian Sandwich, Canadian Benedict, or Canadian Burger...
..or literally anything else on our menu. 😄 We promise you don't have to eat something with "Canadian" in the name today.

Whether you're stopping in for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or just midday poutine, we'd love to celebrate Canada Day with you.

Happy Canada Day from all of us at Jack's! 🍁

Not a bad way to wrap up Father's Day. 🌅

After a Father's Day that kept us hopping from open to close, this incredible summer solstice sunset was waiting for us at the finish line.

The day was very busy, very smooth, and filled with great families celebrating together — just the way we like it.

A big thank you to everyone who chose to spend part of their Father's Day with us. ❤️

Happy Father's Day to all the amazing dads, stepdads, grandpas, and father figures out there! 💙

Today we celebrate the hard work, love, guidance, and countless dad jokes that make you so special. Wishing you a day filled with family, laughter, and great memories. Happy Father's Day! 👨‍👧‍👦🍳☕️
