Tanner Jacks has always provided a decent deal for the buck, with most of their food being very flavorful. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and tries hard to make your meal a good time. My wife and I really like the place. The only thing I think they should work on is their homebrew....not really very good. More

We were looking for a place to eat breakfast as we drove up Hwy 1 -- not much around and finally came upon Tanner Jacks. It's a locals place and the food is great. We really lucked out. I had the corned beef hash and it was so tender it melted in your mouth, and I couldn't eat it all.... More

We loved the salad, the bread, the beans. Their creole grilled veggies are FAB. Decent prices, and friendly staff. It is true that the staff can get lost, not see you. That seems to be the fault of the space designer, though, not the staff. Next time we want to try their home made beer. More

Food was ok. Service was fair. Prices were average plus. A little off the beaten path and convient for the locals. Need to keep places like this in business, but they need to do their part on the service. More

Tanner Jack's is on the corner of a reasonably busy intersection on highway 1 just a couple miles southwest of Arroyo Grande. This area is called The Mesa. The building and the surrounding area suggest the far west. We arrived at Noon on a warm and sunny Saturday. Not many cars in the parking lot. Perhaps everyone was at the... More

I noticed that the bigger spending regular customers don't get ignored. There were six of us and we were ignored. When we were discussing business that was none of thiers, they were either listening in, or rudely interrupting our conversation. One of our party had a long piece of hair in her meal and complained. The staff said that the... More

I've lived here my whole life and just recently within the past few months started going to Tanner Jacks. It's the best! The tri-tip is so flavorful, it's not like anything around. I love the homemade mac & cheese and the bread pudding...OMG! Not only is the food great, but it's a quaint small staff where everyone knows your name.... More

My wife and I use to eat here quite a bit but I don't know what happened to the place. The service and the food is what use to keep us coming back but now the service is unbelievably slow and also seem uninterested and quite confused. Last we were in my wifes beans and mash potatoes were cold and... More
