Jack's Café — Restaurant in Oranjestad (city)

Went here on two separate occassions. Very good food if prepared freshly.

A tip here: order inside the premises past the hot holding counter where the daily menu specials (12.95 afl) are. Otherwise the employees would not be able to notice you. Most are situated inside kitchen area or by the register .

I did order the from the daily special, but would not recommend unless you get when it is freshly made in the morning. This time I went here in the afternoon. I ignored my best judgment and gave into temptation. The sweet sour pork chop I had lost most of its tenderness and moisture. Rice was of the parboiled variety and the green beans and corn were of the frozen kind. Big mistake.

On the other hand the Jack's burger (15.95 afl) was excellent  took about 15 min to prepare. Patty was moist and of hefty size. Bacon was lean, crisp and plentiful and was not salty at all. It came with a side of thick cut fries which had the right amount of salt.

I ordered the meatballs (3.95 afl each). They were quite hefty and dense, but readily can be cut with a fork. They were the size of a handball and had the seasoning of Vienna sausages, that was the point of reference for their seasoning. The gravy on top was nice as well.

Next day I went to get something refreshing. I had the chef salad (12.95 afl). It was fresh with the romaine lettuce, ham, cut into bite sized segments. It had a whole boiled egg sliced on top. Bacon was the same as the burger, deep fried and very crisp. Not greasy at all and generous in quantity. Dressing bottles for the salads are in the condiment area in front of the registers.

The smoked salmon baguette (15.95 afl) had a choice of white or whole wheat bread. Not crisp like a real baguette, but still decent. Inside were capers, red onion, tomato, and arugula. It is served with a dollop of tuna salad on the side. Very good.

I would go back here every time I shop at Super Food. The fare is much more better than quick service establishment I have been. Be sure to order the food that is...

This review is purely about Sundays at Jacks, every other day of the week would be 4/5* for food price & quality. Sunday 21st Jan 2024 we checked the opening hours on google & super foods & arrived at 17.20 well before the published time only to be told we are closed, just as they were taking a very nice looking burger & chips out to a table. So yesterday 28th Jan 2024 on our way to the beach we went in to ask what time they will stop serving this evening. We were told 17.30 quite categorically despite telling them about last week. So we made sure we arrived by 17.00 only to be told we are closed, they had already cleared the buffet & everything was washed & put away. So once again very disappointed with a Sunday especially as we are on a tight budget. If you intend to go on a Sunday make sure you arrive 16.00 to 16.30 at the very latest & im sure you will enjoy their well priced & good quality food. On another note they no longer do Pizza takeaway or eat in despite there being a selection of about 10 on the...

I am compelled to address the appalling service I endured during my recent visit to your establishment in Aruba. The behavior of your staff was nothing short of disgraceful, displaying an egregious level of rudeness and an utter lack of professionalism.

The indifference exhibited by your employees not only ruined my dining experience but also reflected a blatant disregard for basic customer service standards. It is incomprehensible how a business can allow such a toxic atmosphere to persist, tarnishing the reputation of Jack's Cafe.

This experience has left me infuriated and deeply disappointed. It is imperative that you take immediate and decisive action to rectify the deplorable behavior exhibited by your staff. Customers should not be subjected to such disrespect, and it is your responsibility to ensure a welcoming and courteous environment.

I expect a swift and meaningful response to address this matter. Failure to do so will undoubtedly result in severe damage to the reputation of...
