Anaheim Jacks

09/05/2026

Summer may be over but the best time of year is knockin on the door folks!

We’ve got 2, that’s right y’all, TWO walk-in ready food spaces available in a proven location. Bring a solid menu, move in and get to work. These are perfect for a mom and pop operation ready to build something of their own. We’ve also got 1 space available for your own food truck or trailer.

And the timing couldn’t be much better. We’ve got a FULL deck through September and October with some of the largest concerts in the region, plus nightlife, events and steady traffic rolling through the property. No better time to get in, get your name out there and start off solid.

We’re looking for something different to round out the food court.

NO TACOS / MEXICAN FOOD. NO BURGERS.

Got a killer concept? Holler at us!

If you can't show up on time, do not apply. If you can't get along with co-workers, do not apply. If you're "really not a people person", do not apply. If you have pulled a gun on one of the managers, do not apply....... REALLY. Everyone else c'mon!

Most of y'all know we don't sit still very well. After numerous questions, requests and a lot of conversations over the past few years, we've decided the timing is right to actively pursue projects outside of our own.
We've spent the better part of 30 years building things. For the last 12 years we've been fortunate enough to do that almost exclusively for ourselves as we built Anaheim Jacks, Jacks Backstage and the properties around them. As those projects have reached the point where they are more about maintenance than construction, it's time to get back in the field.
Could we build you a house? Yep. Are we going to? Probably not.
We're drawn to the projects that require a little creativity. Specifically projects that include excavation, site work, grading, retaining walls, drainage, concrete and the jobs that don't have a blueprint sitting on a shelf are what we are looking for folks. If you've got one give us a holler.

National Fried Chicken Day.
Funny timing, because the new menu is hitting just right.

We switched lanes and doubled down on what we do best. Bigger focus on yard bird. Bigger flavor. Better baskets. And judging by what y'all have been ordering... we made the right call.

If you haven't tried the new menu yet, today's your excuse.

Crispy chicken strips.
Chicken sandwiches.
Cold beer.
Good whiskey.
No regrets.

1097 Mechem Drive.

Pull up. Celebrate National Fried Chicken Day the right way. 🍗

We had every intention of dropping this bad boy today... I found out the menus were actually delivered last Friday.... The hits been on, we just found 'em... So here we are... a month and a day late on the "official" menu drop. New drop mañana

A little late? Yep.

Still a drop? Absolutely.

We've made some pretty big changes, and honestly, we're excited to see where they take us. For the past decade-plus, Anaheim Jacks has been known as a burger joint first. While some of the burgers aren't going anywhere, we've switched lanes a bit and put a much bigger emphasis on the yard bird. More hand-breaded chicken. More chicken sandwiches. a little "Cluck it, Get a bucket" section. More options. We think y'all are gonna dig it.

Will everyone love it? NOT A CHANCE.
Will some people love it? Hell we hope so.
Will there be a couple of overly dramatic "THIS WAS THE FINAL STRAW... I'M NEVER COMING BACK!" posts? History says... absofreakinlutely. 😂

That's alright. We're always trying to evolve while still staying true to who we are.

Yes, there are a few price increases where they had to happen. Food costs haven't exactly been kind to any restaurant lately. That said, we still offer our Local Loyalty Cards, and we work hard to keep prices as reasonable as possible for the folks here on the hill.

One of the coolest additions is the Spicy B***s chicken sandwich. Our friends at Tanner Land & Tree Service are sponsoring it and donating $1 from every sandwich sold to a breast cancer foundation. That's a partnership we're proud to be part of.

Take a few minutes and flip through the new Herald. It's packed with our usual questionable humor, Jackisms and of course, a whole bunch of food.
Check it out and let us know what you think.
See y'all soon. 🍗🍔🍻
