    Early New Year's Eve dinner - reservations made & seated right away. Service was great! I didn't see what I wanted on the menu (that I usually see) so I asked about it & was assured that they could do that for me. Salmon was delicious as was the rice. Dinner companion had the soup & 1/2 sandwich & she seemed to enjoy it. Overall a wonderful dining experience, one we can always count on at Daddy Jacks!

    Without a doubt our favorite restaurant on the North Side. Sure wish they were on the south side of Indy. The best Patty Melt in the State.

    We went there for the first time before a performance at Clowes Memorial Hall and it was excellent! Food, service and price were admirable.

    It was busy and our server had a large amount of tables, therefore, service was not great. Normally, service is great and food is great. Neither was up to the norm. I still highly recommend this restaurant. Chalk it up to not a great night. Definitely going back!
