"But the culinary scene is much more nuanced than that, even carving out considerable niches for everyday burger joints. Fortunately, one of them throws back, way back, to earlier decades when food was genuine, menus were simple, and old-fashioned milkshakes held permanent superstar status. That would be Jack's Old Fashioned Burger House, which perches proudly in two South Florida beach towns."
"This old-school diner personifies the word "nostalgia" in so many ways, with authentic roots stretching back to 1972 in Fort Lauderdale, followed a year later by a second location in Pompano Beach. The original Jack's still occupies a former Burger Chef structure, taking the vintage-style burger connection back even further to the 1960s. Jack's has remained true to the Sunshine State, and it's paid off for more than 50 years."
"At the heart of Jack's enduring legacy is the timeless menu, especially the namesake "old fashioned burger" that's still made as it was in the beginning. The beef is freshly ground every day on the premises, so there's no frozen or precooked patties. Burgers are cooked to order, when you order, rather than lying in wait on heated trays. Sizes range from original and junior to the Big Jack half pounder, all with optional add-ons including bacon, chili, and mushrooms."
Jack's Old Fashioned Burger House operates two locations in Fort Lauderdale and Pompano Beach, with roots beginning in 1972. The original occupies a former Burger Chef structure and evokes 1960s–1970s nostalgia. The menu centers on an "old fashioned burger" made from beef freshly ground daily on the premises and cooked to order rather than held on heated trays. Sizes range from junior to the Big Jack half-pound, with optional add-ons such as bacon, chili, and mushrooms. An expansive self-serve toppings bar lets customers customize each burger. Retro touches include a vintage-style Wurlitzer Princess jukebox offering 50 free songs and wood-paneled interiors.
