Jack's Old Fashion Hamburger

"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." - Jesse Scott

"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." - Jesse Scott
