Uncle Jack, himself.
Uncle Jack's Restaurant

Uncle Jack's is a more sophisticated restaurant then I expected. The trendy restaurant is named for the owner's uncle, who was a New York fashion photographer. His photos decorate the two level restaurant and bar. The menu is quite appealing and making a choice is difficult. The servings are generous and the food is excellent & reasonable. 

Uncle Jacks offers a number of good lunches for $5.50 or less, for example Cobb Salad, or a turkey avocado & provolone sandwich served with honey mustard and choice of homemade fries, coleslaw or cottage cheese. And those fries are good too!

Dinner entrées range from $10 - $22, with a nice assortment of appetizers starting at $6. All entrees come with salad, bread, choice of vegetables, and choice of herb roasted potatoes, baked potato, pasta or rice. 

Standard deserts are limited to cheese cake, ice cream or a chocolate volcano. The volcano is worth saving room for. On my most recent visit, one of the daily specials was an apple tart ala mode that was so good that I was tempted to lick the plate. 

The service is a little less consistant. For the best service, don't sit along the upper level near the windows.. Uncle Jacks is a standout restaurant. I just wished it wasn't so far away.
