A good place to visit. Doesn't look like much, but they are known for their burgers. If you go on a Wednesday...it is right across from the farmers market, so, can visit that also.

This place has been the standard for cheese burgers for years. Always good always consistent. The menu is not fancy or complicated just a great place for lunch.

I looked online for the best burgers in Santa Cruz and decided on trying Jack's and Surfrider. Surfrider is one of the best cheeseburgers I have ever had and my brother agreed. Jack's was just a basic cheeseburger. Good but not great. Average french fries.

Interesting place to people watch, food is average, patrons diverse and often entertaining. It's Santa Cruz....you get exactly what you would expect from downtown Santa Cruz...costumes....green hair.....lack of hygiene...not the staff so much...just the clientele...

Hands down their double cheesburger was the best I have ever had!! The fries were thick and popping with flavor. If you are within a 20 mile radius of Santa Cruz you MUST stop by!

I used to go to Jack's frequently when I was working in the Santa Cruz area. It's nothin' fancy but just a good old burger with fries. You can have a thick shake with that or a soft drink if you desire. Sit back and watch the world of Santa Cruz go by as you enjoy one of lifes simple... More

Home of the best fries, great burgers, and nice staff. Shakes aren't that great there, but their bugers and fries are wonderful. Limited indoor seating and several tables outside.
