Went there once. Will go back. Loved the burger I had. Busy place. If you don't want to wait in line, choose to get there before lunch time.

I got lucky, arriving just before 5:00pm on a Saturday I was able to get a table for six as Jack's was filling up. By the time we left the line was out the door! Best burger I've ever had. May seem a little pricey but you'll realize it's not once you take your first bite.

PS: Ideally, everybody will be able to sign up at the college website. But I have to acknowledge…Read More that some of the language may not be perfectly as clear as we'd like, especially if this is your first enrollment. So, if you need any assistance (or maybe aren't computer-savvy) the very nice Registrar Office people can assist you on 650/574-6165. Just tell them you want to sign up for Summer semester, Real Estate Practice 110 class, Course Reference number 54642 and that you'd like to complete the enrollment today. You'll like the class once we get you in! Thank you!

Among all the supporters isn't there one competent attorney who can get an injunction to keep the…Read More rink from being destroyed and who can sue SPI Holding, and if necessary the City, to enforce the Master Plan Agreement? A toilet and an astro turf field are useless to ice skaters. I smell something rotten in the Mayor and the City Council's excuses. At least one skater must have a parent or family member who is an attorney with some sense of decency to do the work pro bono.
