Jack's Chicken Palace - Dubuque

Jack 's is the kind of place you 'd pass by and sneer at if you didn 't know any better, the kind of place you wouldn 't dare walk into because you wouldn 't think there would be any way their food was any good. But if you never experienced Jack 's, you 'd be missing out on a Dubuque staple. This place has been around (in the same location and I think the same condition) for decades. I used to walk by on the way home from school in the '80s and grab a small order of fries to go. Living close by, we would get take out once a month or so. As times have changed, cravings for fried chicken, fries, and the best onion rings I 've ever had have remained constant. I 've long since moved away from Dubuque, but I still try to get some Jack 's every time I visit home. It 's not quite as good as it used to be, but it 's still a little piece of heaven. When you know, you know.

5.8.24 @7:30 pm My family and I really enjoyed this food. We ordered 8 pieces of dark fried chicken and medium fries. The plain crinkle fries were fresh, and crispy. Note there were no seasonings or salt on the fries, but they tasted like good ole' potatoes. Add your own salt/ seasoning if you have it. The chicken had a good balance of salt, but I didn't taste any flavors or seasonings. The chicken was fresh and crispy as well. This was a walk in and order. Not sure if they have pre order. No dining in here. I would definitely order here again. My only gripe is there were no napkins, salt/pepper packs, ketchup, nothing besides the food itself in a large brown paper bag. I love the plainness of it all, but we could've used some ketchup packets with that huge bag of fries. I just changed from 4 stars to 5 because I'm craving another meal from Jack's. We were the last customers of the day, so maybe they just forgot to include the basics. I'll let you know how it goes round 2. Again, the food was so good. It took about 15 minutes to fry it all fresh. Wow! Paid about $18+. Cashier was nice and helpful, too.

Best chicken place!!! The food is great! Prices are amazing! Staff(owners) are very friendly and professional. Wheelchair accessibility: No.

I love Jack's Chicken Palace best chicken next me cooking my

Biggest problem I have with this place is it’s a to go chicken place but when u order 8 piece chicken it’s all piled into a box and by the time u get home completely soggy and all breading has fallen off. U would think they would box it to allow steam to leave box but no that’s up to u. Chicken is good when it’s good and not soggy
