Food is meh. Holy grease! (but i suppose after a few beers that might not be such a bad thing) Love the atmosphere and location though!

The food itself was great. We had the pretzels and cheese as a starter.

If you're up in Evergreen, I highly recommend you give this place a try. Great pitstop for a cold beer and a nice burger atmosphere is awesome. It's an old-school saloon bar with great customer service. My waitress was amazing and super friendly. They also have a dog friendly back patio that overlooks a creek, which also has a stage for a live band for the summers. If you're in the area or want to get away from DENVER, I definitely would give these guys a try. The burger was amazing and the cheese curds were also awesome.

We stopped at Cactus Jack’s for a bite as we were driving through Evergreen. We split the hot ham and cheese sandwich with sweet potato fries. It was perfect for lunch! The staff was very friendly.

Last Wednesday evening, we had a large group of coworkers visit this restaurant after a day of ice fishing. We immediately went up onto the stage to reserve tables, as that was the only area large enough to facilitate our group. I did not catch the name of our server, but she was heinously rude to our group. She wore a smile, but she "conveniently" forget several parts of our order, though managed to eventually get it to us. In addition, she loudly proclaimed to one of our coworkers, "I need you to dial it in. I know you're drunk, but you need to reign it in." As I stated, we had been fishing all day, but this individual was in no way, shape or form intoxicated. He simply has a fun-loving, jovial personality. Her making her intoxication comment loud enough for nearby patrons to hear was the height of unprofessionalism. This was my first visit to your establishment, and it was also my last. I'm sure your staff are properly trained to identify the signs of intoxication in your guests, but this particular server absolutely needs 100% remedial training.

Came here last weekend (1/20) with my hubby and cousins after visiting Evergreen Lake. This place is lively! They've got big TVs to watch the games, a fireplace, board games, and friendly staff. Let me not forget to mention how good the food and drinks were! I ordered the diner burger, and a cranberry mule. I've never had a cranberry mule before, and it was yummy! We were very pleased with our visit.

Went here for lunch the other day for the first time since moving to Evergreen a couple of weeks ago.It's your typical "bar food" menu and the inside is decorated as a cool bar that I would want to hang out in.We had the wings and the Philly Cheesesteak and we both loved it. Way better than we expected. My wife says it's the best Cheesesteak she's had outside of Philly and it's probably because they serve the cheese the same way that they do in Philly. The honey stung garlic wings were amazing and so was the ranch which had a hint of dill.The service was very friendly and great. Couldn't ask for a more friendly and attentive server.The only thing that dampened the vibe was a couple of children running around while their parent sat at the table starting at her phone. That's more on the parent than the restaurant but it makes me hesitate on going back for lunch as screaming kids running around doesn't make for the vibe I was looking for.

I'm not a tater-tot connoisseur or anything like that, but MANNNN the tater-tots here smack. No-lie came back from ice skating on a Saturday afternoon and probably the best taters I've ever had (bold statement I know)

I've been coming here many years. I get their fried chicken wings a couple times a month - so crispy!! Great sauce variety. The wraps are so good. I love to get the green or red chili on a chili day. They always have a fun event going on and I come here when I want to hear live music or just be around others. Nice vibe and atmosphere. Fun pool table and great creekside seating and fire pits. Can't go wrong stopping here anytime of year. I often walk my dog around the lake and then sit by the creek for a drink or snack after. The Long Island iced teas don't disappoint! The staff are all so friendly and work very hard. No matter how busy it gets they're prompt and attentive. Very grateful to have cactus jacks in our small town.
Tiffany was a TERRIBLE employee. Very disrespectful to me and my family. Very slow on getting our food. Very inattentive. Anytime a question was asked she had major attitude for no reason. All in all just a bad person and I do not recommend coming here if she is working. Very rude!

I'm part if a women's hiking group. When in Evergreen, this is our fav family-owned friendly eatery with a sense of community & history. Hey, if the locals go there you know you done good ?
Out of items on the menu, waitstaff was a bit abrupt and took forever to get to us. Our food took forever which was only a side salad and mac and cheese. Flies within the dining area. Not worth the price. Know what it's like for a small town business but this was just awful.

They were severely understaffed and disorganized. We were told to sit wherever but there was no clean tables so we ended up sitting at a dirty table which we just cleaned ourselves with napkins. One person give us menus another person took our order and then while we were waiting for the food 3 more times we were given menus and kept politely telling them "sorry we already ordered" we waited about 20-30 min for food and then we over heard servers tell other servers to tell anyone coming in they are not going to serve anymore food, drinks only. We did end up getting our food and tipped generously to the staff because it's not their fault the place is a disaster they looked like they were all doing their best but new management/ownership seems like it is needed. This was a Saturday too btw so it was PACKED!

Came to watch the CU/USC game today! The mimosas are made with fresh oranges--so yummy! Got the chicken tenders, onion rings, and mac/cheese, and all were delicious!! Order with the honey-mustard sauce--so good!! Best of all the TV is HUGE and the sound system is great!! The atmosphere is festive and fun, and the bar tender--Charm--made our experience especially great as she recommended food items and was overall just a wonderful part of our experience!!
