Jack's Shack Warwick — Restaurant in Warwick

Jack’s Shack has all the ingredients for a standout spot — a cute surfer café vibe that makes you feel like you’ve stumbled into Newquay, not the Midlands. The concept is inviting, and the menu reads well, with a solid selection of sandwiches that can be upgraded to bagels, alongside some brunch staples.

Unfortunately, the execution didn’t quite live up to the promise. I had the salt beef bagel, which arrived on an unexpectedly thin bagel with barely any filling. It was difficult not to compare it to places like Steamhouse, where the bagels are piled high and full of flavour — here, it felt sparse and underwhelming.

The spiced eggs with avocado were equally disappointing. The scrambled eggs were greasy, the toast was overcooked and heavily buttered, and the whole dish lacked balance and freshness. It felt like it had been rushed or just not given the attention it needed.

I want to be fair — and honest — because I really want Jack’s Shack to do well. The space is lovely, the branding is great, and the idea is clearly there. But if the food matched the setting in quality and care, this place could be truly brilliant. Right now, it feels like style is winning over substance.

Here’s hoping they take the feedback on board and put a bit more bite into what they serve. With a few tweaks and more generous portions, Jack’s Shack could easily become a go-to brunch...

We’d been recommended Jack’s Shack by so many people and it definitely lived up to the hype. We popped in for lunch and ended up staying for a few hours with our laptops – a great spot to work from on a sunny day as the light came flooding in from the big windows.

Lovely, relaxed atmosphere, delicious food that arrived really quickly, and the iced coffee was especially good. One of us was gluten free and the other a fussy eater but we both had no problem finding something suitable on the menu...Eggs & avo on sourdough toast, a gluten-free ham & cheese toastie.

We’ll definitely be back to see the friendly team, next time to try the French toast which...

An absolute saviour during the pandemic. Super friendly service and the food is top notch! Jack & Michelle wrote the customer service book.

Everything on the menu is delicious! Highly recommend the toasties, bagels, coffee and burger Fridays - OMG! The best burger you’ll have tasted in a long long while!

Not forgetting the AMAZING selection of brownies on offer - the only problem I have is deciding selecting what to eat!

Go, treat yourself! You won’t...
