"Jack 's has been one of our go to places for many, many years and we 've made a point of returning for Sunday brunch several times since things started to open again. Overall the food was very good, and the service continues to be excellent. The Oysters Rockefeller and other apps and salads were excellent. The burgers were overdone (two times we went) and offered no cheese alternatives to the Gruyere on the menu. The 'poutine ' was dried out. Clearly doesn 't work well if made earlier; need a starch you can make fresh or that works better re heated. Also the menu is missing several of the old favorites. I recognize there 's a new chef, but there are some things you expect from Jack 's after 100 years (or in my case, almost 50 years). Boat Chowder Maybe you can 't use the old recipe, but some kind of chowder on the brunch menu would be welcome, especially on a cold autumn day. Sandwich Something besides a burger for the non egg eaters (perhaps something akin to the 'Almost Famous ' beef, or perhaps a chicken). Fish something besides shell fish on the brunch menu would be great Boston style scrod has always been a classic Jack 's staple. I see there are several fish choices on the dinner menu, so it shouldn 't be a lift to include one of them in the brunch menu. I wish Jack 's and its employees the best during these difficult times."

Absolutely amazing. The food was incredible and so was the staff! I highly recommend Jack's to anyone who is looking for evening of class and amazing food!

Very limited menu nothing like what is posted on their website or open Table. Food was either under or overcooked. Poorly prepared as presented. Like the kitchen didn't care what was being sent to our table.

Visiting Albany, Jacks was recommended to us and we were not disappointed. I always find it amusing to have wonderful seafood inland, but here we were! Mussels are a litmus test for me, and Jacks served an outstanding preparation of delicious, perfectly sized mussels. A lightish broth, well-seasoned and perfectly cooked mussels were just wonderful. I also enjoyed a lovely arugula salad as a starter. Can't wait to go back to Albany! View menu

I will start off by saying that this was a very enjoyable night out for my wife's and I first anniversary. We were the first ones in the restaurant and it was very quiet. People slowly started to fill in after. Very rustic on the interior and the staff were great to us. The food was very enjoyable although rather small portions. No bread or salad are included which is a bit of bummer. We also had a large number or fruit flys flying around enjoying our evening with us. Overall a 3. Won't go crazy to get back there but wont be unhappy to try more of their meals.

With Covid on our minds, we decided to gives Jack’s Oyster House a try for inside dining. We have dined there off and on for forty years and felt they would be up to current health standards. We were not disappointed and are extremely happy with our decision. All staff members wore masks and seating was nicely spaced. We felt completely “safe” throughout the entire course of the evening, and we were well taken care of by our waiter, Alex. Alex was professional, helpful and efficient. He made our outing especially pleasant. As for the food, it was fabulous. The menu is not as vast as it was before Covid, but it offers a nice selection of choices. The Oysters Rockefeller were a true treat, sal...
