Jack's Family Restaurant opened in 1965 on the corner of Pembroke Ave. and Woodland Rd. in Hampton. It is still owned and operated by Jack Linkous, the original owner, who still comes to work everyday after 46 years. I went there recently with my two of my family members, Dan and Jonathan, and we had a great meal. Jack's does a customer right with huge portions, fantastic service, and it has a nice older atmosphere inside. I got a sirloin steak, mashed potatoes, cabbage, and homemade pudding for less than $10. We all left pleased with our meal and definitely would go back again. The only thing I dislike about Jack's is the distinct smell of cigarettes when you come in the door. I highly recommend Jack's if you are looking for great food at a great price, but not if you are bothered by a little smoke.

You can never have enough nostalgia. Great blog! Hampton is such a wonderful quaint town. Crab town USA!

Jack's was the first restaurant I remember going to. We were regular patrons up until I was 12 or so years old. I remember trying to take the tip money off the tables because the concept of tipping had not been introduced to me at that point. My only other memories are the wonderful mid-century neon sign and the jukebox. I would always ask my dad for change and play the song “Tie a Yellow Ribbon" by Tony Orlando and Dawn — a strange choice, to be sure. Sad to see the sign is no longer present.
