Jacktown pub is a typical run down hole in the wall that is known for it's pizza and sandwiches. When I first moved here we ordered a ton of pizza from Jacktown pub. Now not so much.
Previously their Rueban sandwich was to die for. I am constantly on a quest to find the best Rueban sandwich. Its an food art form and hard to find the good ones. Jacktown used to pile theirs high with corn beef, sauerkraut and 1000 island dressing, it was by far my favorite menu item.
Then I guess things got rough for Jacktown pub as it has for all of us in this economy. Unfortunately Jacktown pub thought the answer was to raise prices and make the food smaller. Bad decision. Very bad.
About 4 weeks ago I went and ordered my normal Rueban sandwich. What a huge disappointment. Barely any corn beef, a tiny smattering of sauerkraut and a couple of their famous french fries. My son ordered their cheeseburger that in the past was a generous sized juicy homemade cheeseburger but now is a small pathetic dry mini meal size. At about 10.00 per person this just won't cut it.
Since Jacktown pub now has major competition across the street (see Crossroads bar & grill review here) this was a big mistake. In chatting with other locals we are not the only ones that noticed the food got smaller and the price got bigger at Jacktown Pub.
My hope is they will realize their mistake and go back to their roots, which was good food for a fair price. I realize Jacktown pub is also a bar and maybe the food is now secondary?
I am hoping to try it again and see if maybe having major competition across the street put Jacktown Pub back to it's roots.
