Jack & Jenny's

The first place I ate moving here to Janesville. It was a solid choice. The service was a bit slow, but the food (smash burger w/ bacon and egg) was absolutely delicious. The burger itself was $15 and it was worth the price. There is no side either for that cost. I did order some tots with garlic mayo. Those were average, and a decent portion. This place does a pretty nice job good wise. Their attention to customers could use a little bit of work. When you do have the employees time, they are very friendly. I definitely would recommend this place.

While it might appear to be just another bar and grill, the food is decidedly more upscale. Welcoming staff greeted us right away and seated us quickly. We ordered drinks and an appetizer first. We each had an old fashioned: blackberry and bananas foster. Both were delicious, and we had never seen a bananas foster flavor before; subtle bansna flavor made it go down easy. The lobster mac and cheese was great, as was the double patty smash burger topped with a fried egg. A smaller menu keeps things tight for the kitchen, but it is a good variety offered to please nearly everyone. Narrow and deep, this place shares an open outdoor seating area with a sister restsurant on the other side.

Jack & Jenny’s is one of those downtown Janesville spots that just feels easy in the best way. Right on Main Street with the Rock River nearby, it’s got that mix of riverfront atmosphere and casual Wisconsin bar energy that makes it a solid place to settle in for a while. Inside, it’s laid back without trying too hard—sports on the TVs, good music, and a crowd that feels like a mix of locals and people just passing through. The food and drinks lean classic Wisconsin bar fare, and it fits the vibe: burgers, fish fry, cheese curds, and cold drinks without any unnecessary fuss. The real highlight is the location and patio setup. Being right near the river and sharing outdoor space downtown gives it a nice summer-night feel, especially when the weather is good and the area has a bit of energy going on. Overall, it’s a great “come as you are” kind of bar—nothing pretentious, just a solid downtown hangout in Janesville that works whether you’re grabbing a drink, catching a game, or just hanging out by the river for a bit.

I really like the vibe/atmosphere here at Jack & Jenny's came here to check out this new establishment. First impression was "wow"! Impressive scene with modern style and holding some form of downtown history. The food was great but feel that prices were a tad high for "pub" food as compared to other similar establishments. We visited around 3:00 pm and didn't think it was busy, we ended up seating ourselves and waited awhile before we for any service. Our meals were bought out at separate times, my wife was half way through her meal before I received mine. Service was lagging. Perhaps being that this is new, give some time for staff to be trained and improve to 5 stars.

Such a great place! Our party had grilled cheese, the black bean burger, and the smash burgers. All were SO delicious! Server was so personable. Big selection of tap beers.

We stopped here on a chance as we were driving back from Indiana and Illinois. We had a most delicious lunch of chicken pot pie soup, Oklahoma onion burger, and "fancy" truffle and parmesan fries with garlic mayo. Truly an amazing lunch. So delicious. Our server Tessa was great too!

Had lunch here and our food was terrific. I especially enjoyed the Chicken Salad Wrap. We were greeted by the owner with an awesome smile and attitude. Our Server was attentive and friendly. The “fancy fries” were delicious. The prices were good and we had an awesome business lunch. Outstanding!
