Happy Jacks Restaurant & Tavern

Wow! Worst meal ever! Food looks like slop when it comes to the table. Nothing has its own taste. The waiter served everybody at different times. By the time the last person was served everyone else was done eating their dinner. Terrible. The restaurant is outdated.

I HAVE TRAVELED QUITE A BIT. I AM ALWAYS ON THE LOOK OUT FOR SOMETHING SPECIAL. I AM A LOVER OF ITALIAN AND MEXICAN FOOD. I DO LIKE CHINESE, BUT I MUST SAY THAT THE MEAL I ATE AT HAPPY JACKS IS THE BEST I HAVE EVER EATEN. I DONT KNOW QUITE HOW TO DESCRIBE IT. IT TASTED BETTER THAN FOOD. EACH BITE WAS A PLEASURE AND I COULDNT WAIT FOR THE NEXT. I LIVE TWO AND A HALF HOURS AWAY AND I PLAN ON GOING THERE AGAIN THIS WEEKEND FOR DINNER. YOU MIGHT SAY I AM TAKING MY WIFE TO THE FALLS AND THEN OVER TO HAPPY JACKS, BUT I KNOW I AM GOING TO HAPPY JACKS AND THEN BY THE FALLS. THE OWNERS ARE QUITE ATTENTIVE TO THE CUSTOMERS. IF YOU EVER HAVE THE CHANCE, STOP BY AND GIVE THEM A TRY. I KNOW SOME OF THE OTHER ENVIOUS RESTAURANT OWNERS HAVE POSTED FALSE REVIEWS. SIMPLY BY THE WORDAGE. THIS PLACE IS GREAT.

A friend and I went to dinner tonight, he hasnt been to Happy Jacks in ages. He ordered sesame chicken, it didnt come with anything, he had to order white rice on the side. I didnt think that was good. I ordered sweet and sour ribs, I thought they would be like actual ribs with a bone, instead they were over fried pieces of whatever. They were gross. The waiter was good, very attentive but I left disappointed on the food and the price.May go back but would not order the same food. I used to like this place but I think the food isnt as great as it used to be. It is a shame, it is a nice place. my dessert was pecan pie, it didnt taste good at all, it was really dry.

I am NOT another restaurant owner writing this review. Just one of four people who went to Happy Jacks on December 31, of this year. It was supposed to be a New Year's Eve event for us. First our server was very rude. At first I thought it was a language barrier. It wasn't. Before the evening was over he managed to spill a jug of water on me! Three of us ordered a single meal and one ordered a combination plate. We got our meal over 1/2 hour before the combo plate and the fellow was starving. You ALWAYS serve everyone at once. I had Cantanese Chow Mein and got 3 whole shrimp! Because there were 4 of us I shared mine and went without. We had lemon chicken and I broke apart 5 pieces before I actually found any chicken. It was nothing but deep fried breading with 'brown' looking sauce. Same thing with the chicken balls. We had egg fu young cooked in grease that I swear was 3 years old at least. If I thought it would do any good I would phone Public Health and have their kitchen investigated. I left hungry because I couldn't eat the food. I was wet from the water but paid the bill, never said anything (I should have I know) and even left a tip! Even though the server kept reaching in front a half inch from our faces. I will NEVER step foot in that place again and I'll let everyone know not to either. There's just too many lovely places we can go to for that kind of money. This place has really gone down the tubes!!

We have eaten at this restaurant for years with no complaints until recently. Over priced for the very small portions of take out food. The traditional take out trays have been replaced with small plastic dishes. Very disappointed, probably will not return, fortunately there is lots of competition.

I have tried all the chinese rest. in F.E. This is my staple!
Fresh, consistant food. There are always new menu items. My wife and I always order from here.
These brothers run their businsess like it's guide to success. They have their fingers on the pulse of the hospitality industry. with that, you can be assured a great dining experience.

Have been going to Happy Jacks for a couple years now. Can honestly say that we have never been dissapointed even tried the competition next door one time and although meal was ok nothing compared to Happy Jacks. Service is always great Food awsome with each dish having its own unique taste, somthing I find is lost in the buffet experience at places like Mandarin as all their food tastes basically the same. Went for my daughters birthday one time they even brought her a free piece of one of the excellent cakes they have for desert. When she passed it around as others wanted a taste Jack brought over 3 more complimentry pieces for the table. We always go away fully satisfied with the meal and service and usually a bag of food we were just too full to eat. Leftovers are usually devoured the next day and still taste great. I have eaten chineese food all over the world and rate Happy Jacks as one of the best. There was one chineese food place in the UK that is right up there for quality of food and service but pricing was roughly double that of Happy Jacks here at home.

I like this restaurant for the patio facing the river. It is always enjoyable to come here in the summertime. The food is tasty, service was exceptional. Regular coffee really ought to be bottomless though, not pay on per cup basis. The parking area across the street was convenient.

THE BEST SERVICE & CHINESE FOOD I EVER HAD FOR A LONG TIME. THEIR COMPLETE SPECIAL DINNER FOR 2 ARE GREAT. (THERE WERE 5 DIFFERENT DINNER FOR TWO)
THERE ALSO OFFER DIM SUM, BBQ DUCK,MAUI MAUI FISH, LIVE LOBSTER, & SO MUCH MORE!!!
ALSO AUTHETIC CANTONESE & NEW THAI CUISINE !! ALSO, THEY HAVE CANADIAN DISHES TOO.

I MET THE OWNERS, THEY WERE GREAT TO TALK TOO. THE BUSINESS WAS EST AT 1967.
OVER 40 YEARS OF EXPERIENCES. THEY ALSO DO CATERING UP TO 1200 PEOPLE.

IN THE YEAR OF 2003, THE RIVERWALK WAS BUILT IN THE BACK OF HAPPY JACK'S RESTAURANT. I CAN'T WAIT TO DINE IN THE SUMMER. TOWN OF FORT ERIE & NIAGARA PARKS HAS BUILT A RIVERWALK FOR PEOPLE TO VEIW THE GREAT NIAGARA RIVER.
I CAN'T WAIT TILL SUMMER.

i love happy jacks,its yum yum yummy
