Jack's Country Restaurant

      Nestled in the Daniel Boone Business/shopping area Jack's is a local favorite and a well kept secret. While most people you know end up eating breakfast from one of the fast food chains, Jack's has some of the best breakfast, brunch and lunch specials you can get around the area for a great price. In fact I can't think of a place that I have discovered recently, that I enjoy coming to so much. So as part of the standards I'll be scoring the restaurant on food, value and decorum as well as service though service doesn't earn a specific score. Not really much of a problem as I really like this restaurant; you may say that I am biased here, but after all isn't that why you looked me up today? Jack's is a true mom and pop operation which makes it all the more important for me to support this business. Its not two or three guys with money investing into a business. Its literally jack and his wife. The service here is more or less you grab your drinks yourself while they cook for you; and they are so polite. The food you ask, much of the breakfast food is as you would expect, delicious breakfast food. They follow the established and set menu that you would find in any establishment serving breakfast. Bacon is crispy and they use so much less grease in the cooking of your meal, which is refreshing. Lunch is a delicious affair and one you should make the effort to attend. As far as breakfast goes, the vegetable omelet is my current favorite. Crisp yet lightly sautéed onions and green peppers wrapped in an omelet with american cheese. Its really quite good. The decor is as you would expect here, nothing too fancy. I actually prefer this decor in this restaurant. Its a mom and pop shop in a small town like hillsborough. As you look out the window you feel like you a part of this evolving little town. It works for Jack's, after all you have to ask yourself, do you want an extravagant experience every time you go out to eat; or would you rather step out to a locally best kept secret and make no mistake; its a best kept secret with a consistent client base that loves to eat here, and for good reason. Jack's is not the place trying to separate you from your wallet or the place trying to sell you the americana that a chain store would push for, instead, Jack's is a good place to find some breakfast or lunch in Hillsborough, that will not be bathed in grease, will not break the bank and will likely become a favorite for you and your family. I'm going to level with everyone, there are not often restaurants of this class that I like this much, but I enjoy coming to Jack's so much that I've come almost 4 days in a row, trying various things with my fiancee.  I have really nothing bad to report here, its good hearty food in a hometown setting at great price, with great service from the proprietors,
