  I remember when there used to be more than just the one left. When I was little (not that long ago, btw, I'm 25) the current Jack's was Jacks III. I've been enjoying these burgers my whole life.
  
  Some of the criticism I see is that the place is small, but honestly, it hasn't ever bothered me. It's more of a lunch counter than a restaurant, so you don't go to Jack's to sit down and eat a meal. You pop in for a quick bite and get on with your day. My go to order is 2 doubles all the way, and they are absolutely delicious. I could probably eat about 5 doubles all the way (ketchup, mustard, onions, hot sauce; these are all their toppings), like some others have said, but really, who needs that much food?
  
  As for the prices, they're so cheap! Just today I got 4 singles and 4 doubles and it all rung up to $11! Sure there are no fries or onion rings or what not, but that's the point of Jack's! You go in, grab a few small, simple burgers, maybe a can of coke or a bag of chips, have a quick bite, then go back to work!

  First time dropping in on the way back to the island from Atlanta! Wow! Yes it's small but that's a part of the charm! Get a few double cheese all the way with an ice cold coke in a bottle

  Super tiny and small restaurant as you can see from photos it's kind of claustrophobic but it is awesome! Better than Krystal's but omg are the burgers tiny! Classic downtown Dublin spot!

  ack's Famous Hamburgers has been in business for over 50 years.  It's tiny, just like it's burgers, maybe 10' wide with maybe 15 stools.  The menu consists of burgers and hot dogs, no sides other than chips in a bag.  The meat on the bun is tiny, as big as a 50 cent piece, so when ordering you'll need a double (two tiny pieces of meat) or a triple (three tiny pieces of meat).  There are choices of several condiments and the buns are soft and yummy.  The burgers are good and make it to your plate in a hurry.  The waiter is also the cook, a guy with great stories about Dublin and the surrounding area.  Most of the clientele are locals who have known one another forever. They love to share the history of Dublin with visitors.  It's one of those places where you have to go just to say you did.  A quick, cheap lunch and a history lesson.  Definitely a good deal!

  I love trying new things and experiencing new places. If you peruse my reviews, then you already know this, but Jack's just plain did not deliver a pleasing overall experience.
  
  Extremely narrow inside. Put it this way, I didn't make it past the register since there was only about 2 ft of available space to walk. I was told by my fiance that they used to have a different location; why they downgraded to a smaller place, I do not know. I used his judgement to decide what to get and he ordered us 8 triples with mustard, ketchup and onions. They do not offer cheese, nor any other toppings. Nor fries. Or onion rings. Or salad. Just chips. It came to $30. Shocked and confused, I told the man we only brought a $20 and I assumed it would cover the amount. I couldn't imagine how each burger would be about $3.50 when the sign on the wall said they'd be $1.89...So I suggested we take off our drinks and get singles instead. He said he could not change anything since it was already put in and that there was a bank around the corner. Excuse me? Oh, they only accept cash.
  
  Well, we walked down the sidewalk to the bank and contemplated just driving away. We ultimately withdrew $20 (with the additional $2.50 surcharge since it wasn't our bank) and went back; well my fiance went back, I was too infuriated to go back inside.
  
  He walked out with a smile. Turns out the gentleman had rung us up for someone else's order in addition to ours, so they corrected it and charged us the correct $16. The meat patties are about a silver dollar sized, deep fried a little and slid in between two tiny steamed buns. Granted, they were good but the ketchup was too sweet for my liking and I'm not a fan of mustard. I read on the other reviews they were compared to Krystals or White Castle, but in my personal opinion the only thing they had in common was their size. Plus, we had to order a "triple" to get any taste of the meat. If I remember correctly, you can order 12 Krystals burgers and with cheese for less than the price of Jack's.
  
  I'm a supporter of local establishments and rarely frequent chain restaurants unless necessary, but with my experience today, I will be passing them by unless someone else is buying.
