Calico Jack Restaurant&Bar in Craven

Shout out to the super staff at Calico Jack in Skipton. Thank you for making our birthday celebration a happy event. Super atmosphere, the most important thing is the support for entertaining children, crayons games etc. It's difficult to find places which cater so well for ages 3-6 year old. Great food choice, seems that Sunday lunch time in October is a great time to go for it was fairly quiet. Not rushed with the food so plenty of time for table top games with the children and colouring. Just a perfect place to spend time and eat with the family.

This place was busy and rightly so, but they have a great vibe going on! The food is plenty full, good portion sizes. Cocktails are well made and we loved the touches for a birthday booking made, we were made to feel really special for our trip to Skipton whilst in the local area. Thank you!!

Family return visit. Friendly and welcoming. Service attentive but busy so had quite a long wait between couses. Starters quite expensive for what you got. We had mozeralla sticks and mexican pizza, each £8. Main meals were plentiful. Unfortunately except one. We ordered nacho picante which we were told had lots of chilli on. Very little indeed and very disappointing. Very dry nachos and cheese for £13! Do no order. Overall nice setting and friendly staff but food could be so much better. Will try elsewhere for now.

Went with a bunch of mates; excellent service and cracking food. Calzone pizza was massive and very tasty. Good range of burgers too.

Great casual restaurant . Food tasty and plentiful and good choice . Nice atmosphere too. Prices are reasonable and location central

We call for our tea every year we visit Skipton. It was delicious as always. Staff friendly, we waited a little while for food however it was busy on a glorious sunny day with a few big tables inside. The steak fajita was very tasty and generous portion. The side winder burger and chips were also very tasty. We got a side of onion rings to share which were fresh and crispy. So pleased we changed from indoor to outdoor as it was very warm inside. Also no draft larger due to the heat affecting the barrels. We look forward to coming again next year.

We have been coming to Calico Jacks for years, a must do stop with our young family. However our last meal was very disappointing. Positives first. Friendly front of house staff, quick drinks including a cocktail which were lovely. Negatives. The burgers are too thick, overly peppery, dense and greasy. The bacon almost raw. The chicken gyros platter was not chicken gyros and couldn't be further from the real thing. Basically stewed chicken covered in mint sauce. All very very disappointing, can't help but wonder if it was the chefs night off. Think this might be our last visit. Far to many better places in town to eat. Such a shame.

AMAZING as always! My friend and I visited for some cocktails and food, and were blown away by the quality. The food was reasonably priced and delicious and the cocktails were beautifully presented and tasted great! The happy hour 2 for 1 deal is such good value. The team were very friendly and accommodating. We will be back soon!

Arrived without booking and the staff were welcoming and found us a table The food was lovely...excellent portion size , having a burger each. My husband had the black pearl and I had the fusion burger. The flavours were fantastic. Alongside a pitcher cocktail which tasted fab. We found it very good value and the staff were all very friendly. Would recommend a visit and would come again. Loved the theme and meals tied into the theme also

Food was great. Lots of variety, amazing portion sizes and everything looks delicious. My reason for instead of 5 is for two reasons. 1) was he burger patty was dry and bland - however the rest of the toppings made up for it just. 2) we were a table of 8 but even so there were several minutes that past between the first dish being served and the last ... not the best when your waiting to start. It happened on both the main and the desserts.

Myself and two friends had booked a table and turned up half an hour before to a busy restaurant, it was no trouble finding us a table and soon got seated, a waitress came promptly to take our drinks order and left us with a food menu, after a swift return our food order was placed. In a timely manor our food was brought to the table and I might add the portion size was WOW to say the least the baby back ribs were mahooosive! Washed down with the best tasting pina colada I’ve had in a while. Absolute first class service from start to finish.

From start to finish a great experience. The staff were lovely and welcoming, the food was really tasty and it was totally dog friendly! Very happy :)

I absolutely loved the fajita!!! So big and filling that I brought half home! Good value for money, great atmosphere, friendly service, great place for parties with friends or family. Next time we will try the cocktails.

We were very disappointed in our meal, we've been various times and the food has always been good. We got nachos to share, but wasn't offered plates to eat on. Our burgers were very dry and it doesn't say on the menu that the sesame bun is black which was a bit off putting. I should have said something there and then, but I didn't want to let it spoil our day

Lovely experience came for a family meal food what great , so many options for kids, I had the chimichanga it was amazing overall staff are brilliant I was served by two blonde girls they were so friendly and helpful , will be returning !

Food was below par.....the decor of the business seems confused.. nautical pirate theme with Italian menu starter was £8 for 4 mozzarella sticks deep fried and taste shop bought. I ordered a rib eye which came and was more fat than meat and was missing an eye was more like a rump steak and asked for medium rare and it came medium-well. Cocktail seemed to lack any alcohol. Wasn't asked at any point how the meal was Evan when paying and when I addressed the dissatisfaction there was little to no compasion from the staff....overall poor experience. Won't be returning and definitely wouldn't recommend

Food was delicious. We had 2 Gyros and 2 Chimichangas. Great plateful of food and served hot! Nicely presented! Our waitress was friendly and attentive. My Gyros was served with delicious greek salad and fries! I would of preferred the Gyros already wrapped - but still it was delicious!

This is such a fun and quirky little bar and restaurant. The first time I came here I ordered a Greek platter... And to be honest the second time I came here I ordered the same thing. This is just because that chicken is absolutely to die for.. I however have ordered a different cocktail each time I've been here. (X3 so far) Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back in the future xxx so

The food here is ridiculously good. We were holidaying in the area, and entered Skipton looking for a Sunday roast, but stumbled on this place. The kids wanted to try something different, and I’m so glad we did. We had beautiful Garlic bread to start, and then a mix of tex-mex and pizza for mains. Every single dish was a hit. The cocktails went down a treat as well.

This is an interesting little place just outside the main centre of Skipton, with - relatively - understated themed decor and a wide menu of tex mex options. We enjoyed the starters - particularly the flavoursome Mexican garlic bread - and found the burgers to be a good feed, if slightly impacted by buns that fell apart in the hand (we'd ask in future for them not to be toasted). The service was friendly, and the atmosphere relaxed.

Honestly amazing food and amazing service. Can not praise the staff enough. They made the whole evening enjoyable, and even kept our toughest critic happy, our 3 year old! Can not wait to return for another meal

Went here Sunday for my parents' 40th Anniversary. We have been several times, and the food was exceptional as always. Service, on the other hand, except 1 member of staff (Anita) was dreadful. It took 20 minutes from being seated to someone even coming to take our drinks order. Over an hour of a table being vacated to someone making an effort to clear the table. It appeared the only member of staff actually doing any form of work was the one previously mentioned. Although this didn't ruin a lovely evening it did disappoint.

Very slow service tonight, mostly with drinks and taking orders. Anita was the saviour of the evening, she was polite, helpful and attentive, plus she knew how to smile. Thankfully the food was excellent.

We came here twice whilst on holiday in Skipton as we have done the past few years. The food is delicious and very reasonably priced. Not a scrap left on our plates. The first time we had steak fajitas and pollo peppercorn. The second time we had The Pulled Pork and Med Chicken. All dishes as nice as the other. Can’t wait to return again next year.

A great experience food was delicious and the staff friendly and efficient I would recommend this restaurant to anyone

I love aleks I think she is amazing and so passionate about her job she makes me so proud to be her friend everyday my good pal sol my partner says he’s a nice girl aswell and would like to get to know her better on a personal level :)

I hadn’t been here for years since I moved out of the area but it’s just as good as it’s always been! We shared some nachos which were probably the best we’ve ever had and such a generous portion. For mains we ordered a burger and the chimichanga which were absolutely delicious! The LA Summer cocktail was also to die for. The atmosphere was nice and relaxed it’s a great place for couples as well as families as there is something for everyone and the theming is lovely. The service was fab, our food and drinks arrived quickly and the staff were extremely welcoming.

High quality range of food lovely atmosphere and service second to none:) took my sons for a joint birthday treat and the young lad working there who’s name I’ve forgotten sang happy birthday to them and yeah it was a truely excellent experience and we will definitely return 🥰🥰

Great food & service , relaxing and will be back soon. Lovely nautical decor and bar. Staff polite and friendly.

We have been before but this time, not so good. The place was very busy, we waited 20 mins for our table but, in fairness we did arrive a little early. Finally got our table and then, after having been given the menus, waited 10 minutes for our order to be taken. I felt for the girls in the restaurant; they seemed to be rushed off their feet. I ordered the Gyros wrap and my wife the rack of ribs. This is now a tale of two dishes! The ribs were lovely, tender and succulent, the gyros, dry, overcooked tough and chewy chicken and just about edible in a wrap that had the texture of leather. I am a glass half full sort of person but this time, I am being honest about our food and just didn't feel it was as good as we have previously had at the restaurant. Sorry! PS. we did still leave a tip because we felt the staff were run off their feet as already stated.

I will start by saying we eat out a lot but I only tend to review when excellent or poor. This visit was excellent, the theming/decor in the restaurant is wonderful! The staff are so attentive The food and cocktails are great value for money...

Extraordinarily slow service despite the restaurant only being a third full. 15 minutes wait for someone to come and get a drinks order, equally long for any drinks to then arrive. One of the waitresses didn't seem to want to do the job, perhaps because...

Great food, lovely staff, sucker for the pirate theme. The Mexican garlic bread was a highlight but the Black Pear burger was also really good. Went on a Sunday as most places in the area were on roasts and weren’t looking for that before a...

My wife and I visited here as tourists on a Wednesday evening, nice relaxing atmosphere, very friendly staff with great service and most important of all, lovely food (2 pizzas) as well as excellent beer (Brooklyn IPA). No complaints at all, would definitely eat here...

My wife and I visited Calico Jacks whilst staying in Skipton for an anniversary get away. I cannot praise the service and quality of food high enough. Levi and his staff were extremely attentive and friendly. And as for the price, you cannot go wrong....

Firstly can I just point out the restaurant had only a handful of tables in and was not busy, so there was no excuse for a very slow drinks service, had to go and find a waiter to enquire where they were, 20 minutes wait...

Everything was fantastic, the waitress with the piglet tattoo is fantastic, the host,or manager?? Was awesome. The food was really tasty. Kids love going to calico jack's!! Thank you

We visitied in November for my daughters birthday, all our children loved it here and enjoyed their food. The staff were all very welcoming and freindly and chatted to the kids too, which is always nice. The pizzas all looked delicous, I had the vegetable...

My husband and I went without a booking. Lovely themed resort and great ambiance. There were two staff doing the bar and waiting tables between them. Both were very friendly and efficient. I had the shrimp fajitas and my husband had the meatballs and pasta....

Excellent Staff, superb food (we had Mexican but they do other stuff), great decor and overall, a faultless experience and a highlight of our week long trip to the area. It's not a cheap place to eat but higly recomended for special occasions etc, there...

Great tasting food, generous portions and great value for money. The Stromboli is absolutely excellent. Beautiful pint of Boston IPA.

We were in the mood for Fajitas, so went to Calico Jack's. What we got was a sizzling platter chock full of sliced pepper and onion, couple of scraps of meat in a thick inedible sauce. The atmosphere and staff were good, but they were...

We visited as a group of 7 and the food was absolutely fantastic. I cannot fault the meal and the staff were brilliant. Definitely recommend.

The food in the restaurant was lovely however they sell sub standard prosseco. I paid £24.50 for screw top bottle that you can buy in Aldi for £5. When I spoke to the manager she said there was nothing she could do about it. I...

I had read other reviews but decided to give it a go as from the outside it looked good. big mistake it must have a taken an hour before we got our food and the quality had much to be desired, the wife's pizza was...

Our autistic son loves pirates so we booked up. The food was brilliant, the cocktails delicious and the waitress was kind and patient with our son. We would definitely return!

All I can say is ‘Wow’………. Absolutely amazing!! Alex was our hoist, and she was lovely, polite, and coped with the party’s various strange requests. There was also another lovely gentleman (sorry we didn’t get your name), who was also amazing also. The food was...

Steaks, Ribs and Burgers. Magic I had the ribs - the meatiest, fall off the bone, tastiest ribs I've had since...a long, long time ago. They'd probably recommend you book though at 7pm on a Sunday we had a five minute wait having NOT booked....

Good food, attentive staff and reasonably priced. We had a burger and a gyros wrap - both of which were excellent and decent portions. £48 for 2 mains, 2 large wines and 2 beers.

I took my wife to Calico Jack's last night for her birthday meal. We both had the pork ribs which were yummy, huge portions of chips and lovely onion rings as an add on to our meal. We didn't have the space for a pudding!...

Excellent all round!!🙌 Ten out of ten. Lovely yummy hot food. Great place. Food took the right amount of time. Just perfect no hassle. Will definitely re-visit.

This was our first visit and we wish we had visited sooner. Absolutely fantastic food. The fajitas were so tasty, as was the chicken stuffed with ham, tomatoes and cheese. The chefs were doing a sterling job and all the food looked amazing that was...

Milner, Myself my wife and my daughter booked a table Friday the 13/5/22 6pm we had a few :) cocktails before having a beautiful meal 10/10 for the food and 10/10 for the staff Thank you all We will be calling back

Cannot fault this place, excellent food and service. The staff were really friendly and attentive and worked so hard. The meal was superb and portions are huge. Reasonably priced and worth every penny.

First time at Calico Jack's. Easy to see why its popular. Good food, cocktails, happy hour, friendly staff. Will definitely visit again.

Service was excellent, decor was ship shaped, food was excellent and we complimented the chefs. A great experience and we will be back !😉

Second time of visiting. The two lads are so friendly and helpful. They are a credit to this establishment. The food is delicious, red hot and gigantic portions!!! But….. you get doggy bags to take home. Highly recommend a trip here, it’s not overpriced and...

Visited Calicos last night for my birthday and had a lovely meal. It was a little short staffed but our waitress, bless her made us feel very welcome and made sure we were looked after. The food was excellent, we were a a party of...

Great value, fantastic food, quick and friendly service. Delicious pizzas. Boston Defender IPA beer went down a treat.

Lovely venue. Attentive smiley staff. Big portions & good choices, very tasty 😋 We will be back thank you for making a friends birthday a memorable one

This used to be our favourite restaurant in Skipton but what has happened to it in the last 2 years?

Lovely atmosphere great food and lovely staff made you really welcome .It was our grandsons 16th birthday all enjoyed a lovely meal could not fault it

Have eaten several times in calico jacks and have never been disappointed, the food is always well cooked and extremely tasty. Always excellent service and so nice to have a choice of mocktails on the drinks menu. I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough.

My wife and I like to have a Tex Mex meal occasionally, not healthy but always tasty. Decent quality here with friendly service and reasonable prices. Nice to sit in a warm restaurant too, because quite often theses days the freezing Aircon is switched on...

We have been to Calico Jacks many times, it’s a favourite with the kids. Our visit this time was very unsatisfactory. Pork ribs were tough and dry, the saffron risotto wasn’t risotto (just some rice in a bowl) and had almost none of the promised...

My wife and l had a wonderful meal at calico jacks. The staff were excellent and friendly. The food was well presented and not overly priced.

Used to love this place. So my review is done with a heavy heart. The good: Friendly staff, nice beer. The bad: Average tasting food, the burger meat was a bit tough, and the cheese garlic bread was hard and not that tasty.

6 of us ate here on a Saturday after we booked in advance, as part of our day out in Skipton. Really good choice on menu, fabulous atmosphere, good service. Something for everyone. I chose a steak salad which was enormous. One of the best...

Had a meal with husband here ,very disappointed with my meal 😕 I orderd chick fajitas and they were swimming in fat ,I don't norm Wright a review but I told a member of staff and nothing was said ,I seen her tell the manager...

Had a great time here for lunch with my daughter. All staff were very friendly and happy to help. Food was really yummy. All in all it was a really nice time, can’t fault.

This restaurant is probably more aimed towards families. We loved it. The decor was great and there was a board game on the back of the kids menu which was a nice touch. The staff were great and the food was lovely, the Greek God...

Had a really good meal here whilst holidaying locally, extensive menus alongside a cocktail menu, given more time I would definitely of tried more, food is very generous and cooked perfectly, service was very good and all staff friendly welcoming and polite. The night we...

Complete fever dream of a resturant. The cocktails were pure and unwatered, the food was amazing, the staff welcoming!

a table of four, we had booked and the place was very very busy, We were shown to one table but asked if we could have another as I am mostly deaf and preferred a quieter one. It was grudgingly agreed We had barely sat...

What a great Theamed restaurant! They really put some effort into the way it looks. The staff are ever so friendly and very attentive. The kids were amazed by the fun things that decorated the walls. The kids menus was very good and very fairly...

The food was fine as was the waiter When we went to pay the bill by credit card we were told it was cash only. We booked on line a few days ago and nowhere did it say cash only, they sent a reminder of...

Visited as a party of 6. Great decor and atmosphere. Food was varied and plentiful and we were left unable to manage a pudding. Good value of money. Would definitely visit again.

Had a lovely meal this evening with my husband after a family member had recommended coming here, food was plentiful and tasty, being in the same industry we were impressed by the 2 amazing floor staff who were rushed off their feet all the while...

We came here on my birthday (first night of our holiday) very hot day but but sat inside. This is done out like a pirate ship inside. We waited a little longer than expected but totally understandable as a member of staff felt unwell and...

Visited last night on our way back from Malham Cove. The front of house staff welcomed us and offered a lovely table outside with an electric heater (as we had a dog with us). It was super busy and we ended up waiting an hour...

On holiday in Skipton, and we popped in a local restaurant for a meal before the Euro's quarter final match. Calico Jack was nearby so we took a chance and it did not disappoint. My partner had a lovely pasta dish with chicken and I...

Very loud music, so people shout to hold a conversation, thus it is VERY noisy. Food is good, but mainly burgers, pizzas etc with chips and very little veg. Portions are large, and well presented The staff were very efficient and friendly. Don’t go expecting...

We visited the restaurant today. The restaurant is decorated, themed as pirate ship. We asked for a table for 2. As the place only had a couple of tables with customers, we were very surprised to be placed at the end against the toilets and...

Sadly, I can’t recommend this place as 3 out of 4 of us didn’t enjoy the experience. The sauce on the ribs was far far too strong & far too much. We couldn’t taste any garlic or butter on the garlic bread. The promised pepperoni,...

Excellent staff food was lovely very large portions Good deco great menu for food and drinks Tip top service And food Can’t fault this restaurant

Food and service was amazing. I have worked in the service industry for over 20 years and was very impressed by the staff here. The food was great, the pricing was also reasonable. A great atmosphere inside. We really enjoyed our visit and would 100%...

I wish I could rate it 3.5The food is reasonably priced and tasty. The portions are huge. Too huge to be honest, we wasted a lot of food. But overall the food is great. My cosmopolitan was delicious too.The two serving staff were lovely, they were very attentive and friendly.However, service was really slow. They seemed to be really short staffed for a Saturday night. Our table was booked for 7pm but our mains didn't arrive until 8.50pm. Which isn't ideal when you have small children. We ended up leaving earlier than we wanted because it got so late.

Just had meal here with my hubby. Fabulous! The portions are huge and the food is just yummy, So quirky too. Thoroughly enjoyable evening. Thanks 👍

We travelled for a little break in Skipton and chose Calico Jack for our evening meal. It was highly disappointing, waiting 45 minutes for our starters and waiting yet another hour and half for our mains. The starters were nice yet over priced and the main meal arrived so late that could barely eat it. Not only that but the main meal was very average and again overpriced. I will not be returning to this restaurant as I had one bite of my disappointing meal and was still charged full price. I would not recommend.

We visited Skipton last week and stayed for a few days. Went here for our evening meal. The staff are excellent, the food is to die for and a great atomsphere.

We visited early May for my birthday, at the time when it was only possible to eat on the terrace. The food was really nice and tasty, service fast and friendly, and the cocktails were amazing too! We loved the terrace as well, it was raining but we stayed dry and the blankets were welcome! We can't wait to come again. Thank you!

Fantastic visit all round. Food was perfect, staff were so friendly & polite, heater was on & offer of blankets available. Came away happy & full. Can't wait to go back

Had some great cocktails and yummy food but the highlight was just how friendly, helpful and nice the staff were- very attentive, got us blankets when we felt a bit cold, lovely to chat to and always smiley!

Great service and delicious food. Would happily return and recommend! There are blankets and heaters covering most tables outside as well.

We were greeted with a lovely smiling member of staff who throughout our stay was helpful and great to interact with. Personally speaking having ordered 4 meals as a group my Triple B burger and fries were too salty but certainly no complaints but compliments from the other group members. It's a bit pricey £11 for my burger, so be aware.

Our first date night post lockdown and we loved it! All staff were so welcoming and friendly and the food was DELICIOUS! So glad to be back and happy to see them thriving. Will 100% be back!
