Stopped at 9:30am Sunday for breakfast. Free parking. Busy so may have to wait a bit. Got the special - Blackberry french toast with syrup and bacon, ham, or sausage which was very good for $9. something. Service was fast and cheerful. They take credit cards.

Stopped here today for dinner and were very disappointed. I ordered a burger which came with lettuce, tomato, coleslaw. The hamburger did not taste like beef, it had no flavor. I am not sure what was in it. My husband ordered a Cuban and said it didn't taste like a Cuban and the roll it was served on was as hard as a rock. We both had fries which were limp and mushy. Maybe this restaurant is okay for breakfast but when it comes to their dinner menu it left a lot to be desired.We cook our meals to order and we happily replace or refresh any dish that is not 100% to your liking. Just let us know how we can improve your visit with us at the time of service. We believe that face-to-face guest interaction brings the most satisfaction to any meal. We apologize for any disappointment you may have experienced.

My wife has wanted to try this place for a long time and we finally ate dinner there. Luckily, we went during restaurant week - appetizer, entree, qand dessert was only $35. I had the shrimp tempura roll appetizer, cioppino for my main, and vanilla creme brulee for dessert. My wife had the ceviche appetizer, mussels & fries main, and chocolate mousse bomb for dessert. All were really good/excellent. The ciopino was as godd as those that I have had in San Francisco. My wife especially loved the mussels. We also had a bottle of wine - very good price on a bottle. The waiter was especially great - there when you need him and very courteous/professional. Great experience and we will return.

A nostalgic nod to mid century Americana and comfort food classics and some unexpected twists (a la sushi) in an upbeat 1940's dinner house.

Came to jacksonâs on the rec of a friend while visiting town center. The bread they serve on the table is more like dessert and just delicious. great drinks. had a bellini and my friend had the mojito. yum. My friend had the steak sandwich and fries. delicious shoestring style. I had the chicken salad not sure what they call it. Has avocado blue cheese chicken pecans greens with a champagne vinaigrette. everything was delicious. our servers were just super pleasant and helpful. seating inside was comfortable. They do have a nice outdoor seating area but it was a bit humid for us to be outside. prices were average. I would def go back and highly recommend.

First time dining at Kitbar and was quite pleased with the food and ambiance, the MEGA wrap around bar was very interesting, but my so called Chef/ server was pretty lame, really didn't have a good personality and would have been better off working at the Tire Center at Costco. The food was really good and I highly recommend their Cheesy Onion soup. Had the Fish Taco's for main dish and it was great

This was my fourth and last visit to Burtonâs. My family of four and I found the food on this visit under-portioned compared to the past, cold, and from pre-bagged preparation instead of fresh. Worse yet was the exceptionally long wait to get our entrees, dessert, and check. But the final nail in the coffin for me was not getting what I ordered and being charged for it. My kids had the kids steak meal and the kids chicken meal. The steak was tiny, not the portions of the past (hint, go to Bungalow Lake House - more generous portion and free on Sat with paying adult!), and the chicken was dry and overcooked. My husband had the sad paleo bunless burger with what appeared to be a teaspoon of guacamole and three leaves of lettuce, as well as cold sweet potato hash browns that probably came from a bag. This was part of the paleo menu, from which I also ordered. Note: for boasting a paleo menu, Burtonâs should list more than three items and offer to make other entrees paleo by swapping out the grain sides. So one of the other paleo options is salmon with romesco sauce, blistered tomatoes, and sautéed vegetables; there is an option to swap the salmon for shrimp (not extra, actually a lower charge). Not feeling like salmon, I asked for the shrimp. Our waitress asked what size portion - 6 or 9 oz. I asked how many shrimp came with it, she repeated the oz sizes. So I went with 6oz and was completely surprised that thirty minutes later I had a plate of salmon and shrimp. Ugh! How hard is it to substitute not add?!?! I told the good server immediately thatâs not what I had ordered and she said she would have it fixed on the bill. I would have sent it back but I was tired of waiting, hungry, and trying to get my kids home at a decent time for bed. The salmon was nothing special, lacked enough romesco sauce, only had two blistered cherry tomatoes on top and was plates on a bed of broccoli and Brussels slaw that was definitely from a coke slaw bag mix and was definitely undercooked and cold. It was so disappointing, and to top it off (literally), the six shrimp were tough, way overcooked, and flavorless. My kids wanted to finish the meal with dessert, so we ordered the chocolate layer cake. It honestly took twenty minutes to get the cake which was clearly right out of the refrigerator based on its cold interior and warm patch of fudge sauce on top. It was not a $9 piece of cake, I should have gone to Abbotâs next door for frozen custard. Finally, we waited another 10-15 minutes to get our bill, our incorrect bill. The waitress had the audacity to keep the shrimp she added to the salmon on the bill at $8. Of course I reminded her I ordered only shrimp not shrimp and salmon. What does she do? She takes the $8 shrimp off the bill but still charges me for the salmon I never wanted. I was so sick of waiting that I paid for the $24 salmon though I should have only paid for $18 shrimp. I wonât be back for slow service, cold, pre-bagged food, and mediocre entrees I never wanted in the first place. In an area ripe with dining options, there is no need to come here.
