Jack Snack — Restaurant in The Hague

In 2023 this place was sadly sold because the original owner had serious heart problems. Since then this place is best avoided. They don't use fresh potatoes anymore for the fries and they prepare them in oil not meant for frying, they have created an abomination of a pricing board with cardboard plates, right above the cooking pans, theres children's toys on the counter, open garbage bags on the stairs to the basement level and a general feel of uncleanliness and chaos with shopping trolleys and freezer boxes in the pathways.

This is a great place for a Serious Snack! Under the loving care of the always cheerful owner Jack this establishment managed to score a "full 10" - three years in succession in the "AD patat test": Phenomenal! The people who work here love what they do, and you can tell by the taste and quality of their fries made of bio-organic potatoes. But also try the world famous Jack burger, and their delicious sate. If you want to Snack, do it well and go...
