The 2nd floor looks onto the kitchen, so you can naturally watch the staff grilling patties and prepping ingredients, and it's honestly quite fun to watch. Even at a popular restaurant you sometimes wonder what the kitchen is like, but at Jackjack the cooking area was impressively well kept. ![Neatly kept cooking area at Jackjack Anguk](https://img.superchart.com/images/anguk-jackjack-burger-solo-dining/anguk-jackjack-burger-solo-dining-10-1k7wx-966.webp) The ingredients were neatly organized and the place felt hygienically run, which made me trust it even more. Watching the cooking while I waited made the time fly. ## How does the Jackjack Utopia burger taste? A juicy beef patty This time I ordered the Utopia set. It comes with a burger, fries and a drink, so it was plenty for a meal. When the burger arrived, the fresh vegetables and thick beef patty stood out. From the first bite it was really juicy, and the patty had a lovely savory flavor. ![Beef patty and vegetables in the Jackjack Utopia burger](https://img.superchart.com/images/anguk-jackjack-burger-solo-dining/anguk-jackjack-burger-solo-dining-11-fjjp9-966.webp) ![Juicy Jackjack Utopia burger](https://img.superchart.com/images/anguk-jackjack-burger-solo-dining/anguk-jackjack-burger-solo-dining-12-evwh0-966.webp) The bun was soft too and let the patty and vegetables shine together. Overall I thought it was a well-balanced handmade burger. ![Jackjack Utopia handmade burger with a soft bun](https://img.superchart.com/images/anguk-jackjack-burger-solo-dining/anguk-jackjack-burger-solo-dining-13-4o1z8-966.webp) I can see why so many people recommend it as a top burger place in Anguk. ### Satisfying fries and special sauce too The fries that come with the Utopia set were better than I expected. ![Seasoned fries from the Jackjack Utopia set](https://img.superchart.com/images/anguk-jackjack-burger-solo-dining/anguk-jackjack-burger-solo-dining-14-ved8n-966.webp) The crispy fries are seasoned, so they're good on their own, and dipping them in the special sauce that comes with them gives them a different charm. ![Jackjack fries with special sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/anguk-jackjack-burger-solo-dining/anguk-jackjack-burger-solo-dining-15-1i6fz-966.webp) Plenty of places do a good burger, but not many get the sides right as well. Jackjack felt polished all around. ## What to try next at Jackjack Anguk I had the Utopia burger this time, but the menu has so many things I'm curious about, like the chicken burger Jackjack, the Double Jack and Jack the Mac. ![Burger menu board at Jackjack Anguk](https://img.superchart.com/images/anguk-jackjack-burger-solo-dining/anguk-jackjack-burger-solo-dining-16-at4hl-966.webp) It's not a place you try once and move on from; I want to work my way through the menu one item at a time.
