Jack's Place — Restaurant in Rising Sun

If your from Rising Sun Indiana, odds are that you have been eating at Jack's since birth. I've been eating there for over 50 years, yes, it has changed hands several times but there's one constant and that's the food. Hours are limited so eat there when you can.Jacks was poppin' when I was there at 9am on Tuesday 5/14/24. We were a 8 top of seasoned Jack's Place Professionals lol. The whole restaurant was packed with regulars. I just couldn't say no to the Big Jack Platter. A double beef patty burger still served on that three piece sesame bun. Fryer oil had just been changes, fries were hot and very fresh. Let's talk Cole slaw lol. It just wasn't right and the owner called herself on it. I was asked and I told the truth, more Mayo. There was no way they were letting me out the door until the Cole slaw got my approval, and it did. I live 1,000 miles away now, whenever I come to the Cincinnati area, Jack's Place is a must. I've always been a customer, at one time I cooked there in the early 90's. Just remember the hours. Closed Wednesdays and Sundays. 9-2, til 6 on Fridays. Its that easy. Tell them Joel...

Excellent, small home town diner/restaurant. As said before, nothing fancy at all but outstanding food and ridiculously low prices for what you get IMHO. Have to say the beer battered onion rings are most likely frozen, the coating was all I got with very little onion ring inside. Super Jack burger at a 1/2 pound, lettuce, pickles, cheese and their special sauce at $5.29 is a steal and worth every bite. No sides come with the burgers but at these prices no big problem. Fresh fried chicken excellent, as well as the chicken fried steak is fork tender. All in all, best value around Rising Sun, Indiana for home style cooking, and don’t forget the small salad bar available. Try the stuffed tater tots as an appetizer, served...

Such a cute small town diner. Has a counter you can sit at to eat. I sat in a booth & it was comfortable. The waitress was super nice. They have a big cheeseburger that is made like a big Mac- 2 hamburger patties & 3 pieces of bun with cheese. Food came out very quickly and correctly. The prices were very reasonable. I have came to this town several times for the casino. This was first time we ate since we were spending the night. We will stop by here again. I read the hours when I came in & they close early. That's the only bad...
