The Holder family has deep roots in the local restaurant scene, and Jack Holder’s Restaurant & Bar is just the latest iteration of their work. Named after the family patriarch (who founded Uncle John’s Pancake House in Santa Clara and the Country Inn Cafe in San Jose), Jack Holder’s is a popular spot for Sunday brunch, post-work drinks, or family dinner.

The atmosphere is a casual, modern take on the classic American diner, with plenty of breakfast and brunch options (served all day), like chicken fried steak, biscuits and gravy, and eggs benedict, as well as the kitchen's signature Swedish pancakes with lingonberry butter. If you visit for lunch or dinner, you'll also be able to choose comfort food favorites like burgers, steaks, pasta, and wings. Whatever you order, consider pairing it with a frosty pint of beer, as this place offers more than a dozen different options on tap.
