Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

After reading the glowing reviews on Facebook, I decided to make the short drive to DeForest and check out BB Jacks. After suffering through some service issues and some lackluster food, I learned two things: 1. Never trust Facebook for restaurant reviews (Didn't mean to cheat on you Yelp, it's just you were slow on the draw on getting this new restaurant listed.) 2. I will not be returning to BB Jack's anytime soon. My daughter had a late soccer game in Waunakee, so I decided to call in a carryout order for a pizza and a Reuben sandwich. I was told that my order would be ready in 15 to 20 minutes, just the amount of time I needed to drive from Waunakee to DeForest. Things were looking good... I arrive 15 minutes after I called, checked in at the bar and lo and behold, my pizza was ready to go. I paid for my order; the bartender brought my pizza to the bar and thanked me for my order. One small problem, no Reuben sandwich. When I asked the bartender about its status, I got a confused look and he scampered into the kitchen. He came out, told me it was not ready yet, and then tended to the other customers at the bar, which was packed on a Thursday evening. So I waited...and waited...and waited. And I watched my pizza get colder...and colder...and colder. One of the servers sitting at the bar told me the kitchen prepared the pizzas in a separate area from the rest of the food. Uh, OK, a useful fact if I ever get a question about BB Jack's kitchen operations during trivia night, but what I really want to know if when my sandwich will be ready. After ten minutes, another server saw me impatiently waiting by the bar and asked if I have been helped. I explained my situation and he checked with the kitchen to check on the status of the sandwich. He indicated it will be a couple of minutes and offers me a drink while I wait. The sandwich shows us thirteen minutes after my pizza and I hit the road. The good news first: the tater tots that accompanied my sandwich were well prepared - hot, crispy on the outside and not too greasy. The folks at BB Jacks have mad deep frying skills. I could have done without the powdered parmesan cheese sprinkled on top, but if that's their signature touch, so be it. To say my Reuben sandwich was dismal would be an understatement. The main ingredient of the BB Jacks Reuben is a thick layer of bland sauerkraut, which turned my sandwich into a soggy mess by the time I got it home. The bread was supermarket quality marble rye and needed to be cut thicker to hold up to the all the wet kraut. The sad layer of corned beef was excessively salty. The 1000 island dressing had the consistency of warm jello. It was a paint-by-the-numbers sandwich using institutional grade ingredients. The half pepperoni / half cheese pizza also was a bust. The crust was on the thin side and had no chew and little flavor. The sauce was applied unevenly, with some spots swimming in sauce and other with just a trace. The cheese had a strange filmy quality. I had a couple of pieces and it was so bad that it had me questioning my belief that there is no such thing as a bad slice of pizza. The capper was that my daughter found a hair on one of her slices. It was so bad that we didn't even keep the leftovers; the uneaten slices were dumped in the garbage with nary a complaint from my family. After my dismal experience, I wrote messaged the owner of the restaurant to express my disappointment with the quality of my experience. To their credit, I received a prompt response from the restaurant manager apologizing for the mix-up on my carryout order. I really hate to dole out one star ratings, but given the problems with my carryout order and the weak-ass food, the dreaded "Eek! Methinks not" description is apropos given my lackluster experience.

I've spoken to many people about their experiences at BB Jack's since their opening. Opinions fell equally on each side of the fence for months, however the good recently began to pull ahead of the bad. I thought that I would venture over yesterday to pick up an order to-go for a late lunch. I visited their website to peruse the menu and was happy to see its straightforward approach. I had a good idea of what to order given the recommendations from coworkers. An order consisting of a Reuben and fries with two additional large orders of tater tots (one for myself and the other for a coworker that seems to be craving them constantly) was going to take 15 to 20 minutes to prepare. Not a problem. I made a point to be picking up at the 20 minute mark to prevent the food from sitting too long. Walking in I had the feeling that I was walking into a dentist office rather than a restaurant. Something about the atmosphere just seemed...sterile. After asking for my order, I waited a couple of minutes for what I assumed to be fresh tots and fries. Not a problem. Less than five minutes after pickup I was ready to destroy my meal. When I opened the box I was immediately surprised at the size of my reuben. Each half was slightly larger than my wallet and the bread appeared to be pretty greasy. The nice size portion of fries looked good, but half of them were fairly soggy. Same went for the tater tots. On the plus side, the reuben wasn't terrible, and the fries/tots that were not soggy were VERY good. I just wish that there had been more of them. All in all...meh.

Hmmm. I'm not feeling the love for this place. The only way I can describe the ambience is...weird. Not a fan of the color scheme or the lighting--it just doesn't give me that warm, fuzzy feeling I like in a neighborhood joint. And the beer--don't get me wrong: they have a good selection...but it's pricey. I probably won't be busting down any doors to come back.

Pizza is delicious. Four of us in our party had the baked cod. It was moist and flavorful. Cheesy hash browns homemade and plentiful. We will return.

Amazing service, great wings, continue to go there again and again! Great beer selection..specials are fun and inventive...lunch or dinner you can't go wrong.

What a great place! The bar area was beautiful and seemed very inviting, however, since we were having lunch we sat at a table. Our waitress, April, was very attentive and kept our drink glasses topped off...always a plus. We started with fried pickles which were lightly battered with a cornmeal batter. Served with a spicy Ranch dressing- great appetizer! We all ordered something different and all decided we would try each other's meal when we returned. If you're not sure what to order, go with the incredible steak salad with house bleu cheese!!!! It was a HUGE salad but I couldn't stop eating until I finished off every piece of steak! Always love fresh ingredients! I will definitely be back when I return to the area!

Great staff! Great atmosphere! Decided to stop in for a drink after Christmas shopping this year and had a margarita. Let's just say that they didn't skimp on the tequila (Made from scratch rather than a premix). Much appreciated! It was half priced pizza night so we ordered the bbq chicken. It was very delicious! Will defiantly be coming back!

Love any place that has vegetarian option for burgers! Everything seems super fresh and they make their own fries and chips. Wait staff seems like they enjoy their job and were knowledgeable about the menu and very friendly. Great selection of beers on tap made it a perfect 5/5 for my first visit.

My first "not good" review, rats. Were seated next to a family with young children... No sweat. 10 minutes into our experience the 3 year old starts screaming at the top of his lungs... It goes on, and on, until we ask the waitress to help quiet him some. It looked like I had put a gun in her face. Turns out it was the owner that she was obviously afraid of. I turned to look at the child and the "owner" come over and asked if there was something wrong. I said I was not used to dining next to a screaming kid. His response was this is a kid friendly supper club. I told him I had raised my children, loved them, but they were never allowed to scream at the top of their lungs in a public restaurant, and my sister in law had a hearing problem that was causing her pain. He said, I've got your dinner and maybe next time you can find somewhere else to eat... I had to respond. I told him, welcome to a small town where everyone knows everyone else. It was obvious he was a bully, and an arrogant ass. Personally I think he really should consider going back to Chicago. Try the Roadhouse instead... They are nice.

I try Rubens everywhere I go. This one is in the middle. Skimpy on the meat but it tasted good with bits of corned beef so it wasn't the sliced lunch meat some places try to pass off in their Rubens. The dressing was served in the side which I liked. For $9 you get a choice of tater tots, French fries, chips and salsa or pub chips. I was told to get the tots and they were very good. Crisp with a sprinkling of shredded Parmesan cheese. We started with the loaded tots as an appetizer but found it to be too much to eat with a sandwich so we took most of our lunch home, including 1/2 of the loaded tots. The lemonade was tasty and service was adequate. I would go back to try other items on the menu, including the vegetable roll-up when I get back on the wagon with a whole food plant based diet.

Run of the mill Friday fish fry. Nothing special, nothing stands out. Coleslaw not good. All in all, I'd rather have Culvers fish fry.

bb Jack's earned high marks on our first visit on this fall, October evening. Recommended by friends, we enjoyed the friendly atmosphere, accommodating staff, delicious food, and ice cold beverages at bb Jack's. The ladies sipped house merlot and the guys had beer - sampling a beer flight of four tasty beers from their several draught options - extensive beer options on tap - impressive. For an appetizer we tried the deep fried pickle chips - tasty, but the breading was maybe thicker than I like and had a tendency to detract from the dill flavor. For dinner the ladies tried the French fried grilled cheese sandwich - bb Jack's homage to the local and Wisconsin dairy industry. There was hope that they might be more like the "cheese frenchy's served in the '70's "on the square" at Kings Food Host - that would have been fun! Interesting sandwich and interpretation by deep frying the "baked cheese" and serving inside the grilled sandwich - both earned thumbs up for the eclectic "cheese" presentation, but I don't believe either would order it again. Joe sampled the "Randy's Mac & Cheese", another cheesy dish accented with bacon and jalapenos - delicious. I had the broasted chicken and baby back ribs servced with homemade, house fries. Excellent. Ribs were "fall off the bone" without being over cooked, topped with just the right amount of bbq sauce and the chicken was really broasted - crispy on the outside and juicy and tasty on the inside. The house fries were excellent as well. Lowell, the GM, stopped by our table to share some of the bb Jack's history and welcome us - nice touch. Our conversation led to purchasing a bb Jack's / Lake Louie pint glass and Lowell share his and bb Jack's support of breast cancer awareness month with some pink t-shirts for the table! Thank you Lowell for your support. Dinner was followed with some playful banter with the local patrons and our friendly server, Jamie, offering everyone in the bar some scoops of "blue bunny ice cream" and chocolate sauce - beer and ice cream - oh well, probably only in Wisconsin. That's where you'll find your local and family owned bb Jack's - only in Wisconsin - Antigo, Wausau and now in Deforest - a welcome addition to the Deforest and Madison dining scene. Stop by bb Jacks the next time you are in Deforest, I know you'll enjoy your visit.

Great food, great selection of beers, and great service. The fried cheese, fried pickles, and chicken wings were delicious. Went there for Mother's Day brunch as well, and was very happy with that decision. The owner is very creative with his recipes, and truly cares about the customer experience.

This place is amazing and the one-star review I just read is just extremely unfortunate as I couldn't disagree more. The pizza is great, in fact, it was so good we decided to visit again three days later. The restaurant is busy-it's a very welcome addition to DeForest so I think the previous one-star would have been better with Jimmy Johns or Pizza Hut. I enjoyed a great bourbon ale beer on tap and my wife had a BB's Bloody Mary that was huge and a meal on its own. The service was great as we did have to wait for a table but once seated our drinks were always filled and our order was promptly taken. I can't wait to go back!
