1. Jack Brown’s Beer and Burger Restaurant
Jack Brown’s Beer & Burger Joint is the dream of two childhood best friends, Aaron Ludwig and Mike Sabin. According to Jack Brown, Aaron loved craft beer, and Mike worked as a chef in four restaurants. Combining their forces together, a beer and burger joint was born.
Our 100% American Wagyu beef burger is sourced from the family-owned Snake River Ranch in Boise, Idaho. Why this beef? Creates a rich, buttery texture.
“Don’t order lettuce and tomato, our burgers are made simple and basic. Our specials are a creative twist on American classics.”
Keep it simple with a cheeseburger, enjoy an Elvis topped with peanut butter, or check out one of their daily specials.
