What people say, in short
People lean toward recommending Jack Allen's Kitchen, a restaurant with more than one outlet; this listing is the Oak Hill one, which one commenter names, while another mentions the 360 branch. Several praise the Fat Jack burger, several like the pimento cheese topping, and one says the buns make the burger. Caveats: two do not care for pimento on burgers, two say the bacon looks limp rather than crisp, one finds the sweet buns not to their taste, and one finds the food dependable rather than great. Another calls the burger good and above average but not the best in town.
