I'm so conflicted! My husband and I went to Mad Jack's last night for the first time. It's a cute place. We were seated and had prompt service. I took advantage of their happy hour and got a $4 house wine and we got the warm brie appetizer which was half price for happy hour. The brie came out and not more than a minute later, our entrees did too. The server was very apologetic which I appreciated but it wasn't the best way to enjoy our appetizer since we were at a small table for two with a bread basket, appetizer plates, our appetizer and now two entrees and drinks so it was a wee bit crowded. That being said, while the brie and chutney were tasty, the toast to brie/chutney ratio was way off. We left three pieces of toast on the plate. My husband had the ribeye special and enjoyed it. I had the chicken paprikash and I definitely wouldn't recommend it. It had spinach with it which I have never had on chicken paprikash but the spinach wasn't very cooked so it was still rather crunchy which wasn't appealing. I pushed it off to the side and even then, the paprikash wasn't terribly flavorful. The service was prompt and attentive. She brought our bill and when she brought back the credit card after being charged it was about $10 less than the original bill so I don't know if they did that intentionally because of the appetizer mishap or what...but nothing was said to us. Because of the good reviews, we do look forward to returning again and hopefully it's a better experience next time.

I was the only person in our group of four that liked this place. for appetizers, my sister and her boyfriend got the crabmeat over the tater tots. We thought it would be crabmeat over the tater tots. Instead it was potato mush with crabmeat in a coating. They ate two and left the rest sitting there. They tried to pawn the remaining food on my husband and I. My husband and I got the calamari. It was about the size of two babies fists. We were highly disappointed in the price versus the amount of food that you got. That said, the calamari was good. My sister and her boyfriend both got sandwiches, the husband got the short ribs, and I got what I believe was the Mad Jack burger. Neither my sister nor her birth boyfriend liked the sandwiches. I believe after mixing sauces back-and-forth and adding some stuff they ended up eating the entire sandwiches. I believe the biggest complaints is that they didn't like the sauces available for the sandwiches. And for them, the sandwiches were a bit dry. My husband's short ribs seem to be a very small portion for the $20 price tag. And he was disappointed that they put green beans on the plate instead of something upscale like asparagus. he did like the short ribs though. My burger had to be one of the best burgers I've ever had in my life! It was juicy, cooked the way I ordered it, had just the right amount of crunch on it with the toppings, and the sauce was delicious! The bun even added to it! I couldn't have been happier, except it was a little expensive. I would like to go back someday but I don't think my sister her boyfriend will be willing to join us. ;)

Patio is great, even though it is in front of the restaurant , you don't realize that you are on a main road . Although it is not a really large menu, something for everyone. Highly recommend the salad with salmon; nicely dressed and the salmon was perfectly grilled. Will be heading back!

We would definitely bring friends and family from out of town to this place to show it off. The food was great. The patio is amazing. Beer selection awesome. We tried the hummus, gazpacho, ribs, meatloaf, pizza and three desserts. The chocolate mousse was good, the fried dough was better and if you like bread pudding it was truly great. If you are wondering what you should try, don't miss the ribs. Exactly as good and tender as ribs should be. Great sauce too. We will be back.
(4)Austin H.
Not good! The short rib sandwich was dry and the fries were over seasoned. My wife's veggie burger was good.
(2)Mike G.
Great food and a cool relaxed atmosphere. Mad Jacks is a nice mix of restaurant, bar, and patio.
(4)Norm S.
Great place for lunch. I had the Parmesan crusted chicken over pasta with roasted tomatoes and a balsamic glaze. My friend had the Pan seared Salmon salad, he really wanted the Short ribs but they were out. Everything came out looking and tasting excellent. We sat inside because we wanted A/C but there's a large patio area as well. The menu is a little small but everything is unique. Pricing was right on in my opinion.
(5)Rachel B.
First time visit was lunch with my mom on a Saturday... We both had the house-made veggie burger served with their house-made chips and pickles. Atmosphere was nice. Clean, bright, cute decor. Our service wasn't better than average. Getting in and out of parking in front can be difficult, but not a real deterrent, I'll definitely return.
(4)Michelle H.
I love eating at Mad Jack's! Their food is always great and the staff is very friendly. If you have not yet been here and want some great food with a fun twist, be sure to check it out! Nice bar too!
(5)Andrew H.
What a pleasant surprise! Very comfortable and nice setting in a century home. Has beautiful outdoor patio. Food was good not great. Service was excellent. Wish there was a place like this in my town.
(4)Missy G.
Fair food and very over priced. Atmosphere gets an A. Looks like a Williamsburg Inn, but the food does not stand out.I will give it a second chance, if I can get into the lot to park. This used to be Nolas china shoppe, and I still cannot believe this old building is now a restaurant. I will go back again to give a second opinion.

Stopped in for a very late lunch on a Friday and had the place to ourselves. Parking is near the street and you take the walkway straight back to the door past the patio. Snowing today so no outdoor seating for this visit. The hostess sat us at a table in the corner and took our drink order. There were no napkins brought for the drinks and it appears my wine was spilled so I really needed a couple. My fav went to the bar and grabbed a handful which came in handy. The calamari arrived without a serving spoon which is odd for a family style appetizer but was very well cooked, tasty, crunchy and accompanied by pickled onions that were mild and crunchy. My fav got the shortribs which were fork tender with crunchy cooked carrots, mashed potatoes, onion strings and gravy. A nice size portion that he ate every bite of. I got a goat cheese salad that I very much enjoyed and the 'shroom' pizza which is a tomato free pizza. Also very tasty. I took half of it home: definitely enough for two. Our dining companions got the sausage pizza and almond crusted chicken entree. The sausage pizza was 'not too spicy' in a good way. The chicken came with pasta and steamed brocolli. All in all we very much enjoyed our meal. The waitress was friendly and just attentive enough to not be instrusive. (Very important!) The background music was a variety of styles so if you don't like one style it only lasts one song. (Also important!) The atmosphere is relaxed. Around $30/person including app and 5 beverages from the bar.

Finally checked this place out and was not disappointed! Excellent selection on the menu. And the prices are reasonable. Plus you have to love a place that has indoor and outdoor seating. We don't get to eat outside very often in Cleveland, right? Met the owner, and his personality reflects the restaurant. Just seems like a nice guy. We just had a salad and pizza, but it was very tasty and served promptly. Very good service!

Aurora is a quiet suburb in the southeastern outskirts of Cleveland. So no, this ain't Tremont or Ohio City. But out of this farmland crops up this place that offers food that would be, in my view, the best you can get that's similar to a downtown foodie spot. Not at par with being adventurous or eclectic, but very good enough to intrigue the palate. I'm giving in 5-stars just for being the only such place with imagination in the whole town. Patio seats are plenty! And... more importantly it is NOT located in an architectural monstrosity we call a strip mall -- but in some strip that resembles a refurbished "old" barn town. Charming feel. The calamari passed what I call the rubber band test, it was soft and extremely tender. The rib-eye steak was cooked to the correct temperature and was tastily combined with their own horseradish sauce (although without the dark charred crust you'd see in them fancy steakhouses which I feel is the best way to have steak). Bottom line though -- it's what I'd call a great steak for the price. All food was served hot. Service was excellent.

Stopped in for lunch with some work colleagues. Great setting in a Victorian house with a well lit dinning area and a neat little bar. Ordered the spinach dip as an appetizer which was very good and came with seasoned and lightly fried pita chips. They also brought out a wonderful basket of fresh baked bread. For my lunch entrée I opted to get the special soup and half sandwich which was cream of tomato with basil and a meatloaf sandwich on ciabatta. The soup was excellent, just creamy enough without being overly unctuous and with the right amount of basil to compliment the preparation. The sandwich was also very good as the meatloaf was moist and flavorful and was topped with frizzled onions, homemade slaw and melted cheese on a toothsome ciabatta roll. It came with some seasoned, house made chips which were excellent. I would certainly return and try their dinner menu.

Yummy!!! I had the walleye dish that's grilled. I'll be back to try their other specials.
(4)Elizabeth S.
Really cute place and food not bad. Little pricey. Unfortunately we were a big group of 12, so they put us in this little sparse looking room and had to sit at a table right by the bathroom. Very unappetizing! It was quite gross to be looking at a toilet at times, and not to mention the smells. I wish they would have thought more about their set up!
(3)Amanda G.
Since my first experience I have been back a few times with mixed experiences. Twice I have had great food, and three times have been very very mediocre. I stopped risking it after my last trip.

I've been here 3-4 different times and can stamp a solid 4 stars on Mad Jack's. It's appealing enough to bring me back, but doesn't have that 5 star spark. The place: small, homely joint off one of the main drag in Aurora offers as much seating outdoor as it does indoor. This is great in the summer, but our Ohio summers are only 2 months long now so the main building itself is relatively small and cozy. The outdoor has an uncovered area and a covered area. Parking is at a premium, as well. The staff: overall, the staff is very friendly and typically everything is done in a timely manner and done right. The food: Mad Jack's does a good job of making everything seem appealing and appetizing. The menu is diverse and easy to read. The burgers are solid, the entrees are solid, and the Gyro is just OK (the lack of Tzatziki is a big problem). The fries are typically good, but they were a little over seasoned the last time around; someone must have gotten spice-happy. The atmosphere: Great! Whether you are coming for food or drinks, the crowd is a typical family restaurant and not a "pub" or anything like it.

Found this place thanks to Yelp for a lunch spot for me and my mom as we made our yearly summer trip to Aurora Farms and some other shopping spots this side of Cleveland from Western NY. We came by at 2pm on a Monday on a beautiful day and had a great lunch. We opted to sit out on the patio and were under the huge covered tent area. Nice, higher end metal furniture. We got a table right in the middle and we said we could have stayed there all afternoon sipping iced tea, it was so comfortable. Our server was very friendly and nice, got us quick refills, and was not a hoverer. My mom is a vegetarian and there were some, but not a ton, of options. Even something like the beet salad had a bacon dressing. She opted for the Veggie Burger. It was house made with black beans and rice and some veggies. She liked the tzatziki topping and veggies. I had the Jacked Up burger which was cooked nicely, and had fried onion straws, a mayo-type pub sauce, bacon, and I got cheddar cheese on it too. The buns for both burgers were soft and fresh. Both burgers were pretty messy even after we cut them in half to eat them, but tasty. They had cloth napkins and we probably should have asked if they had any extras because we both had to keep wiping our hands/mouth. Yum! We both loved what looked liked to be house-made pickles. My mom's burger came with house made chips and I had fresh cut fries. They were good, but I think the oil was ready for a change. The parking situation was sort of crazy and I had to go by 3 times to find the right area and I still wasn't sure. Either way, we enjoyed our lunch and were refueled for the rest of our day of shopping and I would definitely come back if I was in the area in the future.

Omg incredible!!!! Spiced bread pudding is huge and so fresh with bourbon raisins,ice cream, whip cream and fresh strawberries. The short ribs are truly incredible as well.
(5)Joe K.
Probably the best place in Aurora to grab lunch or dinner. Quality and service is consistent. Place is really small and has great character. The outdoor patio is awesome. Drinks are very good and they have a solid beer selection. Their burger is best in town. Definitely worth a try.

This place has grown on me, so my review gets an update and an upgrade. After eating here multiple times, for lunch and dinner, outside in the summer and inside in the winter, I have never had a bad experience. I like independent restaurants like this. I like seasonal menus that feature fresh, local produce. Having lunch on a summer day here is wonderful. Having lunch on a winter day with the fireplace ablaze is cozy. Service has always been spot on - interested, knowledgeable about the menu and dedicated to service. Nice domestic and international wine list. Most of the customers seem to be locals (I am not), but I have always felt welcome here. The food features seasonal salads and soups. There are a variety of sandwiches for lunch and proteins for dinner. Most portions are very generous, especially for the price. Although this is not an easy place to get to, being in downtown Aurora, Ohio, it is worth a special trip.
(5)Anne N.
~horrible experience~ The food was wayyyyyy below expectations after reading the reviews. I ordered a tuna salad or melt type of sandwich. For the price you would think they would actually give albacore tuna which is what they advertised on menu. No so! It was so gross. I took a picture of it just not sure how to upload it here to show y'all not to ever order it. Furthermore I felt the server (Denise??) was so rude and loud to me. I was actually embarrassed the was she was speaking to me. I actually felt the 2 women eating who heard how she was with me were embarrassed for me as well. You could tell. Listen I was eating alone but I come from a family of servers and happen to tip very well - it felt as if she couldn't be bothered with me that I was a low tipper or something of that nature. I didn't look her part? Perhaps... either way I was so very uncomfortable with her and the food I will never ever go back. Never. Oh, by the way I left her a decent 22% anyway (not my usual 25-30% though) - just because I wanted her to know she ought not to judge a book by it's cover. I took a shower that day believe me I did not smell, lol. Oh well. Live and learn.

John J. Went with a party of four on a Saturday evening. Get there early if you don't have a reservation. Cozy dining room in an old white house. All of our food was fantastic. Out server-I regret I don't remember his name-was equally fantastic. Very attentive and patient with us first timers. Try the tater tots appetizers. Nice beer list also, as I am not a wine drinker. Only wish I had saved room for dessert. Will definitely come again.

Oh, Mad Jack's, thank you for such a refreshing lunch!! First - this is the white building set back from the road. There is parking in front, on the side, and on the south side via another lot. The entrance is next to their patio. The jalapeno poppers - FRESH peppers with the right amount of cream cheese AND goat cheese (swoon), in a delicious,crumbless batter fried to perfection! The dill sauce is fantastic paired with these babies and I would go back just for them. The veggie burger - I can't believe it's not meat! Am I right?! LOL But really, this is a black bean/pinto bean/barley concoction made in-house that is JUICY and DELICIOUS. It is seriously the best house-made veggie burger I've had yet. Messy, but I'll take messy over dry and flavorless. The pickles, however, are freaking fantastic. My ONLY suggestion would be to put MORE THAN TWO on this burger and I will ask for more next time. These are let your tongue smack your lips good and compliment the dill sauce. I would make even more versions of burger with this amazin' patty! Add some jalapenos and pickled tomatoes for this girl! :) The house chips were good but I was full by then, so I'm glad I didn't ask for fries. The spicy pizza - uh, HUGE. Very cheesy. I enjoyed it, it wasn't my favorite pizza ever but tasty as far as pizzas go and my husband raved over it (he should, he ordered it). The environment is colonial so it was kind of like we were still in Gettysburg but eating fine, fresh food.... So excited for this shiny little gem!

A real jam. But definitely a kind of place a passing traveler would never find if not for yelp and 4square. Great food, great drinks, great service great ambiance. Would recommend it to anyone. Everything me, my wife and my toddler had was delicious.
(5)Jacqueline T.
I've eaten at Mad Jack's twice and have had two very different experiences each time. The first time, pretty much everything was perfect. They had a delicious scallop special that was right up my alley and kept me stuffed for HOURS. The only downside was the hummus appetizer my friend and I split--I thought it was pretty good. Some nice roasted red pepper flavors and some unique zing, but it was a way to spicy for her. Might be useful to indicate on the menu that it's spicy because while I thought it was tasty, it was definitely very different from what I was expecting. The second time was... less excellent. The server was still very nice but service was very slow and the restaurant was totally out of bread. Every type of bread. Hamburger buns, rolls, sandwich stuff, you name it. Which meant we didn't get bread as a nibble when we were seated and half of the food was no longer an option. I understand that their delivery truck was late, but Heinen's is right down the road. How can you seriously be out of bread? My pizza was good--a little oily--but good. I just wish they had had bread! After that second experience, I've been a bit reluctant to go back. Either way, it's a bit normal and predictable, but sometimes it's nice to have a predictable lunch place. It seemed like a nice, consistent staple, but now I"m not so sure. Guess I'll have to go back a third time as a tie-breaker?

While driving on I-80, we decided to skip the fast food places and find a nice local restaurant. Based on reviews from Yelp and other sites, we selected Mad Jack's Grill & Pub. It was a 10-minute drive off the freeway, but well worth the trip. We had a cup of rice and bean soup and half a smoked turkey/applewood bacon sandwich. That, along with their chips, was actually more than enough for lunch. And everything was perfectly prepared. They have so many selections on their menu; even the pickiest eaters will find something they like. The only reason I didn't give the restaurant 5 stars is that the service was too efficient. The second my husband finished his meal, the waitress whisked his plate away, while I was still eating. And she took my plate away just as I picked up the last bite of my sandwich. She was very friendly but it did make me feel rushed. Don't hesitate to take a side trip if you're tired of the fast food options on the Interstate. You will be happy you did!
(4)Marti M.
Great for lunch! Cozy old home feel with great wait staff and really enjoyed the southwest black bean soup and the black veggie burger!! So good!! Everyone I was with enjoyed their lunch and I'd come back for sure!!
(5)Danan R.
This is a cozy, friendly local grille with great service, homemade potato chips, and solid food. My harvest salad was full of apples, candied pecans, fresh strawberries, and craisins, topped with a generously sized piece of marinated chicken. The champagne vinaigrette was delish: not too tart with just the perfect amount of sweetness. The black bean soup was flavorful and filling but not heavy and I really liked the small, perfectly portioned multigrain rolls in the bread basket. Coffee was hot and fresh too. Our server was friendly and the food came out in less than 10 minutes. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.
(4)Ryan M.
Excellent. Mushrrom soup and house salad. Very cute atmosphere. Great outdoor seating and reasonable prices. Great lunch before going to aurora farms.
(5)John S.
Had the apple cider chicken. Not a fan of sweet potato or squash but this was fantastic. Lighting could be better. Service was great.
(5)Robert B.
Meal was o.k. Ribs were mediocre and overpriced. Other parties enjoyed their meals. I'll go back, but will make a wiser choice. Service was good and friendly.
(3)William H.
Very good food. I had a pizza that was very good. My wife had the seafood paste. She liked it but it was very spicy. She is not a spice fan. They did tell her that but she missed it. She said it was very good but spicy hot. Without asking and we told then they shouldn't have they took it off the bill. We made it up in a big tip. Bread pudding for dessert is out if this world. Enough for two.
(5)Marti F.
Excellent food and friendly service. Pear salad doesn't need dressing the ingredients are so tasty. Gazpacho was the best I have ever tasted. There is a lovely shop next door that sells work ffrom local artists and artisans. A lovely way to spend an afternoon.
(5)Rob S.
Wow...my wife and I had a short window to eat and I have driven by mad jacks so many times in downtown aurora, I picked it. Could not have been better...we were greeted at the door by a familiar face and taken to a high top in the bar. Service was right on top of it. The cocktails had a healthy pour and large enough glasses to actually quench a thirst. No appetizers today but the table of two ladies next to us got calamari and raved about it...I had a lamb shank special that was unbelievable...fall off the bone tender and juicy with oversized carrots and potatoes in a flavorful broth...my wife go a short rib sandwiche served on a pretzel bun with fantastic homemade relish and great pickles....the atmosphere is cozy and cottage like...very similar to the way Gamekeepers in chagrin was like ten years ago...we were also told of an additional room for parties of 12 or more...what a perfect place this would be for a small party or just a bunch of friends getting together..last but not least...I will quote my wife and agree with her...."my new favorite restaurant..."
