The food is ok, a little pricey, though. Convenient and less than 3 minutes from D.C. Superior Court.

I was walking back to my parking garage and decided to grab lunch to take back to the office when I saw Jack's... my corned beef Rueben was 10/10! Service was fast and easy. Will be back!

Jack's is a circus and with that, welcome to the big top and enjoy the show. I have been expanding my reach for lunch while in the office. Most people I work with don't like to venture out too much, but for me, I will put in the footwork to find a new place that I can throw into my rotation.After a quick walk I was here and thrown into the madness with everyone else. I purposefully showed up after what I though was going to be the lunch rush and was surprised by the amount of people still piling in to grab themselves some lunch like me.I'm going to be honest here, I had no idea what I was doing in here as it was my first visit. I had no idea how things worked in this circus, but I was going to try my best to fit in. When I got inside I stood in a line that I though was the place to be. I had no clue if this is how this place flowed, but I went with it. Luckily for me it was the right thing to do. That line had constant movement and before I knew it I was at the front and placing my order. I ordered two sandwiches and fries (they were on special that day).Then this is where you get to sit back and enjoy the show. After you order you are given your number for your order and you kind of just get pushed off to the sides and are able to take it all in. This is where I realized that there really isn't any one particular way to go about getting food in here. In the middle of it all is the hot/cold bar where you can order salads, sides and soups. I was wondering how some people were getting out of here so fast and that was it, some knew they wanted to just have some soup or nosh on a salad and that was the way for them.As I am watching the show in front of me, I keep getting pushed back further and further to what I am assuming is a corridor that connects to the main building or the restrooms. I kept seeing people getting their orders as I stood there. Finally they called my number and told me I still had to wait for the fries. If I would have known it was going to take that long I probably wouldn't have ordered them. But that also let me look over the coolers for a drink and then eventually get a dessert, even though I didn't need one.My fries were finally done and I got in line to pay. The circus continues here as there are multiple lines, but no one knows which one they should be getting into. With my food in hand and having paid, I was finally able to get out the door and back to my office.I ordered two sandwiches here because I knew I was going to be in the office late that evening and it was like killing two birds with one stone type of situation. For my lunchtime sandwich I went with a BLT as I have been on that kick for a minute now. It was delicious and I was happy to have that pickle wrapped up in there with it.For my later meal I went with an egg salad sandwich which I knew would hold better in a fridge for later. Also paired with a pickle. My soda choice matched perfectly and that, my friends, is how you get a show with your meal. Go to a vibrantly busy business and watch the mishmash of people buzz about.Not bad for review 3,300!
