"Perfect if you like:El Rey De Las FritasEl Rey and Jack’s are both time capsules that specialize in beef between bread. Little Havana’s El Rey is fittingly dedicated to the frita, what some folks refer to as a Cuban hamburger. And Jack’s is dedicated to the hamburger, the American one we’ve been eating since the days when men carried plastic combs in the back pocket of their tight little jeans. At Jack’s, you’re drinking milkshakes. At El Rey, you’re sipping batidos. While they may be representing different cultures, both spots are places where you can eat with your hands and forget that the internet exists." - Ryan Pfeffer, Mariana Trabanino
"Jack’s is a Broward classic that serves burgers that taste like the year 1972, which is when the little burger restaurant opened. Since then, Jack’s has been the place to celebrate youth sports victories, consume aggressively thick milkshakes, and dive headfirst into burger nostalgia. There’s really nothing trendy about these burgers—no smashed patties or secret sauce. It’s just beef, bun, and there’s a little toppings bar in the center of the dining room so you can customize to your liking. The roughly inch-thick patties range from a quarter-pound to a half-pound and are cooked on a flat top that remembers when Nixon was president. " - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
"Lots of fancy-schmancy burger joints have come and gone, but Jack’s remains an Oakland Park mainstay (and broader Fort Lauderdale favorite) 50-plus years in. Its beef is ground daily on-site – you can order ‘em in quarter- to half-pound varieties. Spin a classic tune on its jukebox, and you’ll fully understand its charm."
"1970s nostalgia abounds at both Jack’s locations in Broward – in Oakland Park and Pompano Beach. For 50-plus years, this local success story has kept it simple with lean beef-based patties, lightly salted fries, and classic root beer floats to carry it home. Yes, you can crank a jukebox here to add that much more to the ambiance."
