    The staff is so nice, you start to feel like they are family after a while. I have always loved the English Pub look of the place, and if there is a lunch/business meeting I'm having, Daddy Jacks is my place I take people to. I want to also mention the owner, Jim, who graciously let us hold the reception for another fellow diner, Tim Wright, who also dines there quite a bit. This was when Tim was awarded the Sagamore of the Wabash by the governor. Jim probably didn't do as much food business during the timeframe of the reception, but I can tell you that the regulars like me and Tim and others don't forget such a great gesture. I'm a huge fan of Daddy Jacks, and Kona Jacks, for that matter, and so those are my go-to places for great food and a great environment.

    They weren’t even that busy but after ordering the waitress brought our salads then not even five minutes later brought out our entrees. My food got cold because I was eating my salad.

    The first time to return to Daddy’s in a couple of years. Sarah did a good job for us while being sporadic in her attention. The food was excellent. Definitely “come-back” good. Lowered our rating for this evening because they should have taken the time to clean the booth and the floor underneath it. Feet were sliding around on floor good all evening. Definitely be back.

    We really enjoyed our evening. We celebrated 2 retirements and 2 birthdays, and just had a relaxing, easy going evening with top notch service!

    We LOVE LOVE LOVE Daddy Jack's every time we go. The majority of the time we have had Cindy as our waitress, and I order whatever she recommends every single time. The food, drinks, and service never disappoint! We are thankful to have found this gem because although they have been around for a long time, we have only lived here for 5 years. I recommend it to everyone!
