Lots of gluten free options. I tried the banana chocolate chip bread. It was a little dry. The lemon square was very sweet. The iced coffee was delicious.

The sausage rolls are to die for! The owners are super kind and really progressive with finding the best product for their customers. Hands down, my new favorite place to relax and have a drink.

Stopped in for a quick lunch (first-time visitor) and was pleasantly surprised with the menu options as well as prices. Under $15 got me a fulfilling Reuben and a small coffee. Jack's is a top-notch place for "cheap eats" in High River. But don't let the price fool you, the Reuben was delicious, and the coffee was delightful. Service was ideal!

Spent most of the day working here in the corner on my laptop while my vehicle was in the shop. Lots of different styles of seating to choose from. Laid back vibe. I had turmeric tea, Jack's BLT and Manny's chicken salad sandwich. Each with a gluten free bun and all of it was delicious, made fresh and quickly! Exactly what I was looking for ton get some work done today!

A heartfelt thank you to Jack’s Place in High River for providing lunch for the Green Fools Circus Camp! The food was fresh, tasty, and such a hit, the kids loved it. Having a meal that everyone could enjoy together added so much to the day, and it helped keep the energy high for the afternoon performance. Special thanks to Manny and Cesar for going above and beyond with their kindness and professionalism. Your support means a lot to our community, and we are so grateful for the care you put into making this lunch special.

Jack’s bacon, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich is delicious and their London dog is perfectly made. On top of it, the people in here (employees and customers) are kind and welcoming. Beautiful atmosphere.
