Jack's was recently featured on channel 3. We are big breakfast folk, so a 35 minute drive from Manchester on a sunny (cold) morning to see if the restaurant was as good as it was supposed to be was very feasible for us. In a small stip mall in Higganum, we found Jack's. Clean & inviting inside, there was a short wait which we expected (due to the publicity on TV) We looked for someone taking names (to be seated), however seeing no one, we asked one of the locals waiting and was told they just eyeball the people waiting & seat them in order of when they arrived. Within a few minutes, we were seated in a comfortable booth. All the servers were really nice. Our waitress was friendly and welcoming. Coffee poured - not bad, though not quite as strong as I like it. I had 2 slices of cinnamon French toast served with cinnamon butter. So good!!! My husband had an omelette which he said was really good too. And prices were extremely reasonable. You could tell this was a great local place, but with the channel 3 publicity, many out of town folks were discovering Jacks's. As we told our waitress, we will be back. And she said she will be looking for us

Always worth the wait, their cinnamon French toast is off the charts and the butter they top it with is ridiculously good, it didn't need syrup,,I just want to shutdown my computer and head there right now ?

This was my first time here. I was looking for something with a little bit of a drive from my place and the reviews look good. The food was delicious. My friend and I both ordered the country restaurant scrambler. Hi then ordered one slice of the cinnamon French toast, which was so good. Our our waitress was super friendly and funny. We definitely will be going back there. There are several things on the menu I want to try. Their specials look good as well.Dietary restrictions: I did see some gluten-free options on the menu.Parking: The restaurant is in a shopping center so there’s plenty of parking.Kid-friendliness: I did see a kid menu.

I visited for the first time on Sunday morning. Timed it just right because we waited about 15 minutes. Jack's is located in a small shopping strip, a few doors down from the post office.Signage is kind of tricky because the sign has all of the other businesses on it, which makes it a lottle hard to see " Jack's".There is plenty of parking and is across the street from the hardware store.It is really cozy inside. The decor is that of Mel's diner or something late 70s to mid 80s.I did not mind the decor because the staff was great and can I tell you about the food?Ok, I will tell you about the food... The menu was abundant and accompanied by a special menu. The special menu included.... Orange Mimosa French Toast... WHAT??? Delicious is what.. I mean topped with sugar crystals and an orange garnished with the same and served with perfectly cooked chicken sausage. My heart smiled and my tummy fluttered when the waitress explained it.Three thumbs up Jack's!!! I guess there is a reason why this place is listed in the top 5 breakfast spots in CT.Oh yeah, I forgot to mention... they close at noon.Totally worth the trip and is DEFINITELY on the repeat list.

By far, the best breakfast place, not only locally, but in most of the CT! I come here quite often, I don't consider any other place. Staff is always friendly, food is always fresh, they use mostly local ingredients from farms in the area, especially during the season. I just wish they were open little longer, maybe until 2pm. But they will still serve you if you put your order in before 12pm. Do yourself a favor and give them a try, you want regretted!

Excellent breakfast! We sat outside on this beautiful Saturday morning and it was nice. My wife ordered eggs Benedict (her litmus test) and she said it was extremely tasty and one of the better and fresher ones she has had. I ordered the special which was a grilled cheese style breakfast sandwich with bacon and very fresh sliced tomato - it was DELICIOUS!! The coffee was great, and the home fries perfect! Some places under season and undercook home fries and they're lumpy and soft and gross. Not here - Jack's home fries were small cut, seasoned and crispy - absolutely amazing! We will definitely be back!
