Jacks Burger Shack - St. Albert

The burger report for Jack's Burger Shack St Albert.Jack's Burger Shack has apparently been open for about 10 years or so and have gotten a bit of a reputation so we decided to give them a try. Please note if you are going here that they are closed between 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. so don't make the mistake we did and come at 2:45 LOL. Once we found a parking spot at the back of the building we walked around to Jack's and it's a small cozy little eatery but the staff are super friendly and very informative on any questions you may have. They seem to be a licensed establishment so you can get a shot of liquor in your drink which is a nice surprise. They have a selection of burgers which did take us a little bit of time to order as we were not familiar with the menu but with help from our server we decided to try The hangover Burger and the regular burger with cheese and bacon added as well as a poutine. The meal was cooked in a timely manner and we received our food faster than we expected. The hangover Burger is basically a burger in between two grilled cheese which is pretty good but the regular burger with bacon and cheese was my favorite. The meat is a Smashburger but they grill it to a point where the meat and fat is rendered toward the edges giving it that beautiful flavor we've all come to love, the condiments are very fresh and they're homemade Jack sauce had an excellent flavor with the burger, my only complaint was that I didn't get a double Patty. The hangover Burger which is the grilled cheese themed tasted good and I can see why some people consider this their favorite. The poutine was excellent, the fresh cut fries and done to a Golden crisp and you can taste the fryer oil was fresh and the gravy is homemade and tastes amazing, many other places would use a bag gravy but not Jack's. They're gravy is poured over the curd cheese and being piping hot, melts the cheese right onto the french fries, who could ask for more than that? The eatery may be small but has more than a dozen chairs and a few tables if you would like to eat there. The one thing that stood out was the taste of the burgers as in the actual meat you could tell it was very fresh and, it had that crisp to it which tasted amazing and they used a larger bun not your typical sesame seed store bought bun, but an airy soft styled bun. While it is nice, it does crush down a little bit more than I would like so be ready for it, all in all it works well with their burgers. Jack's Burger Shack is known to try different types of burgers and have let people know if they have any ideas to share with them which is pretty cool. All in all I would like to give this place a 8.6 on the Munch meter which is very good. Anything over a 8 is a place you should definitely try out. Great job guys and keep it up and thank you very much for a great meal.Parking: Very limited parking at this location, you will either have to park on the Street next to the business or in the back or there are very limited spots. For anyone with mobility issues it may present a little bit of difficulty and even more so in the winter.

Service awesome Food awesome Value Awesome !!!!! Just an all around great experience and some good local food!

I had the mushroom burger and it was incredible. Everything about it was very fresh. The buns tasted baked that morning, the veggies tasted like they were stight from the farmers market that was happening the same day and the burger was smashed and had the perfect texture. The fries were cooked exactly how I like it where it had gone through multiple tempature deep fried and came with a nice sauce that was different from most places for dipping. We ate outside where they had quite a bit of seating. I also found the prices to be very reasonable in this day and age of outrageous inflation. Highly recommend jacks burger Shack if you are looking for a good burger and fries.

The most ridiculous place I have ever been to. I have heard so many people raving about this place and Fatburger is a premium restaurant for this place. Patties are non existent, thin as paper and completely burned, falling apart. Bun is tasteless, and their special sauce is just ketchup and mayo. We were looking around to see if it is just our burgers but everyone had paper thin burned patty. Absolutely horrendous.

Fresh, great tasting burgers. Fantastic Fries. Good assortment to choose from. Clean surroundings. Very hospitable attentive staff. Quite reasonable prices.
