Went to Cactus Jacks last Friday night.

The place quickly filled up but we had nice seats by the bar.

Seemed like people were a little freaked out by the "seat yourself" atmosphere, and it took our waitress quite a while to find us - I wondered if perhaps we were in a closed section.

Ordered a Guiness (draft) and something that sounded like their version of a Long Island Iced Tea - the mixed drink was one of the lower priced one but still was almost $7. We ordered beers for our second round.

Hubby had a burger and fries, I had a buffalo chicken finger dinner. The buffalo sauce was on the side - and was more than a little messy. There were onion rings on the top of the dinner that were absolutely dripping grease - eewww. Way too slimy to bother with. The food was good but greasier than I prefered for even fried food. The bill was about $40 - fair price, all things considered. Service was slow - especially after we had handed off our debit card - sorta got held hostage there and thought we'd miss the beginning of our movie, but all went well.

In short, I'd go back but next time would try a salad or something different - I would recommend it, but there's other places I'd recommend FIRST, if you know what I mean.

I must say, I envy those of you who boat to your restaurants - that must be a neat experience!
