Service was awful & food was mediocre, 6/26/2010
Reviewer: H. Yoon from Los Angeles, CA
Just had brunch at Jack's thinking it's a local place. 30 minutes after placing the order, the server stood in front of the kitchen and never bothered to apologize for the delay and came by. When I looked over at our server, Delana, she yells that the food is not ready yet. Highly offensive server needs to be trained to value customers. Only when I pointed out to her that it was rude to yell that the food was not ready and she could of come by to tell us the order was coming did she give a insincere "sorry." The good was quite mediocre and didn't even have the description correct. The pasta noted parmesan cheese and had feta cheese all over it. If service and food were improved this could be a great eatery in Carpinteria. Too bad!


It's ridiculous we don't have a good bagel place in Carp!, 8/16/2009
Reviewer: Minnie from Santa Barbara, CA
Oh, Jacks, what happened?! You used to be great. Now, I hardly recognize you. This weekend, we got bagels and coffee to go and my bagel was undercooked yet again. If you've never had an undercooked bagel, let me tell you, it's not pleasant. It's rubbery, thin and chewy all at the same time. Ick. Our orders are almost constantly wrong when we eat here and the service is terrible. The service used to be the best in town. What happened?! I meet my dad here once a month for breakfast and our servers completely forget about us almost every time. Last month it took almost two hours to have breakfast. We had fun catching up,but when I went in to look for our MIA waitress and found her having her own breakfast and looking at me and looking away that was it. I complained and was told I could have a free dozen bagels next time I was in. I came in, told the girl at the register what I had been told and she shrugged and said, "Nobody told me." And that was that. So, bad food, worse service. One good spot? Peets coffee is served here. And even Jacks can't mess up Peets!


Food not bad but good service spotty at best
Reviewer: TOM HESTER from Summerland, CA
Can't say how many time we have visited Jack's in Carp to enjoy not to bad a meal only to have waiters walk past you as if you do not exist. Only time when service is above par is if you are lucky to be taken care of by a server named Faby.


Overall Great Place.
Reviewer: Anthony from Santa Barbara, CA
I eat either a breakfast or lunch here every week. The food is always good, tastes fresh, and at a reasonable price. Best bagels in the area. I like the friendly staff. The banter is great, especially after seeing your face a few times. Sometimes they get a little overwhelmed and it takes a reminder to get your check, especially if you are outside on the patio. Which happens to be my favorite place to sit, weather permitting.


Wheres Alma!!!
Reviewer: Tom from Santa Barbara, CA
I used to eat there when Alma was the server, She was the friendliest person there and the service was great. Now, the food quality sucks, there too expensive and they always give my friends the wrong order! Whats up with that! Even if the bagels are good the service sucks.


Fine lunchtime sandwich
Reviewer: Karen from Santa Barbara, CA
I stopped in for a to-go order, and it was a fine bagel sandwich. The service was great. No lack of people making sure I had been taken care of as I waited. Quick sandwich makin', and I was out the door.


good lunches
Reviewer: Violet Stenger from Goleta, CA
I like the food. Whenever I go in, it seems like they run out of whatever I want (pizza bagel or croissants) The service what you would expect from a cafe.


They call this a bagel?
Reviewer: Mike Stein from Camarillo, Ca.
How can you call your place a bagel store if you do not boil the bagel? The bagels taste like a kaiser roll, tell the owner that you must boil a bagel before it is baked to call it a bagel, lesson #1!!! Place was dirty as well! Check out Old N.Y. Deli & Bagel in Camarillo for a real bagel!


The State Street
Reviewer: N from Carpas
I <3 this place. You have to try the state street. Any bagel you want with cream cheese, cucumber, lemon pepper, tomatos, onion and pickles. i get a jalepeno and cheese bagel with cream cheese, cucumber and lemon pepper. ITS GREAT! I never though it would taste good but it does. My mouth waters just thinking about it. Its SOOOOOOOOO Delicious!
