JAX Food & Games

Jax doesn’t pretend to be anything it isn’t, which is a bit refreshing in Killington. It’s a bar and arcade above a laundromat. The beer selection is pretty good with several craft beers and local beer on tap. Beside the long bar, there isn’t a ton of space to sit. The arcade games are a nice touch though and a bit fun while enjoying a drink. The food is actually not bad as well, particularly the buffalo chicken quesadilla, which you get for free during happy hour if you order other food. We got this without realizing with our buffalo chicken nachos which were also good, though I preferred the quesadilla. The nachos had a little bit of a vinegar taste from the buffalo sauce. Service was friendly though not overly warm. Definitely a more relaxed vibe than many of the other bars around the area though

went to jax wed. nite for a couple of beers with couple of ski buddy’s of mine… met shane the bartender and he could not have been nicer… the place looks bigger from the outside but cozy inside… got a gas fireplace along with couches, video games and a pool table… prices were reasonable… beers were cold… didn’t get a chance to eat here but maybe next time… check out the toilets and they were clean… go down to the lower level and there is a full laundry mat… lol

They wouldn’t make the drink I like and tried to tell me according to VT laws they couldn’t do it, however it seems that it was just too complicated. Three other bars made my drink in VT. This place sucks. The drink… Irish Trash Can.

We had a great time at JAX! First we used the Barrel Rider shuttle service they offer and it was great. It was Saturday night and the place was very busy. We were seated after a relatively short wait. Our server was great! The place was really slammed but we always had a full drink and the food came quickly and was tasty. That guy knew how to take care of a table even when he was very busy. He was always on the move! The band was fun and so were all the games they have! I would definitely go back next time we’re in the area.

Went after the Thanksgiving Turkey Trot, bartender Kevin was awesome and super cozy!!! He was by himself and run rocked it all :)

As far as bars go, this was definitely my favorite one, by far in terms of both food, entertainment and services. We came here after the Spartan Beast, hungry, tired, and ready to devour anything and everything. That being said, I can state that the food was some of the best bar foods I’ve ever had. We shared the BBQ spring rolls, the chicken nachos. There was ample amount of proteins with the nachos and the guac, sour cream and salsa in kind. The spring rolls were not overly greasy and actually tasted quite novel. My turkey burger, unfortuantely was not very good, but the onion rings that I paid just $ 1.50 extra was a great hit amongst friends and there were certainly a lot of it to share. My girlfriend’s stuffed burger was quite delectable and despite my personal hesitancy on eating beef, I can’t deny that it was quite amazing. Did I mention there were arcade games available for the young at heart?

This is my second time being here, and I this place is awesome with being a beer fanatic; they have some great beers on tap. The food is outstanding for being a bar type restaurant from wings to burgers! As goes for the waitstaff… They are outstandingly friendly and helpful!

Sat on the deck on a nice night. For apps we got the wings and spring rolls. Both were very good. wings were big and meaty. Stuffed Cheeseburger was HUGE and my husband described it as the best burger he ever had.
I had the steak and cheese which was loaded and delicious with a side of home made chips.
My son had a grilled cheese (adult menu) that was very good on thick delicious bread.
My other son had a kids burger which was also very good.
Dessert was a brownie sundae that was as big as my son’s head.
Everything was excellent!

We sat outside and there were a lot of mosquitoes. The food was excellent. We had a hummus appetizer and a steak tip appetizer. Both of them were terrific. Flat bread pizzas and fish tacos for dinner were also superb.

After trying several places for dinner only to find hour plus long wait times for a table for 2, we settled for Jax. The place was busy as one might expect for a Saturday night.
Ordered 2 burgers, one if which was pretty rare, the other delicious. We had to wait a while for the food. Food overall was very good (if the burger was cooked it would have been outstanding).
Having said that, the service was outstanding! The rare burger was taken care of without question. Kevin at the bar was truly exceptional. The service was so good it warranted the 5 stars despite the rare burger. May have put 6 stars if it was an option.
They had all of the games on for March Madness and even accomodated for the Bruins as well. We will definitely go back! Highly recommended.

Went here last night with a group of friends. All of the staff was really friendly and the service was really good. I got the grilled cheese, which was made with brie, apples and carmelized onions. It was one of the best grilled cheeses I have ever eaten! There was also this cool loungey area with a fireplace that was cool to hang out in

Enjoying a night out with the boys after a nice day on the slopes. Looking to watch the Syracuse duke game. The manager at the bar was horrible from the moment we got there. Nicely asked to put the game on and he not only said no but told me my team had no chance. Told me he had better things to do. For one of only a couple of sports bars in town, requesting the prime time ESPN game to be on the big screen didn’t seem like a way out request. I was ready to drop tons of money and hang for the night. Learn how to run a bar. Don’t go here! Ever heard of customer service?

This place was very accommodating for a large group last minute. Menu is made up of apps, burgers, and sandwiches. There’s arcade games and a punching game too!

Stopped by JAX on my weekend getaway to Killington yesterday. It was my first experience in Vermont and it was a great one! First and foremost the server/​bartender who goes by the name of «KO» was the epitome of great customer service! He had a great sense of humor and was super friendly with a hint of sarcasm! The food is nothing to keep quiet about either. My table got the nachos, which were HUGE! I consider myself a nacho connoisseur, and these were Fantastic, highly I recommend the pulled pork option. For an entry I got the buffalo chicken wrap, it had the option of wrap or salad, I think I would have enjoyed the salad more, but it was good nonetheless. My boyfriend got the JAX burger and not only did it look delicious, but he loved it! As far as beverages go, I went with the zero gravity green mountain draft which was very tasty. It had a crisp and refreshing taste, I highly recommend it. JAX was great and I will definitely be returning!

We had an ok experience at JAX. We came in fairly early on a Saturday, it was quite busy but not overly so. We were seated right away, but it took a long time for the waiter to come and take our drink orders. When he did, several of the beers on the list were not available — it would have been helpful if he’d told us that in advance.
The food took a while to come out, and it was average. The nachos we ordered were quite burned around the edges, although the non-​burned bits were tasty. We all ordered burgers, and the waiter asked how we wanted them cooked. My husband and I ordered the exact same burger, except he ordered medium rare, and I ordered medium. When they came out, they put them down without saying which is which — so basically, they were cooked the same. I don’t actually mind that, the burger was fine, but it annoys me that they would ask and then not do what we ordered. Why bother asking?
Nothing here was bad, but it was a really mediocre experience overall. The atmosphere was a bit odd, and I think there are probably better places in the area.

Great food and great service. The lobster dinner was an amazing deal and the turkey dinner burger was huge and awesome!

Friendly staff and amazing nachos. Had a great time with the games too.

There really is a laundromat downstairs. The place has amazing burgers, good selection of beer, yes there were some arcade machines and great for watching the games. Parking will be tough after 10.

Staff was incredible from service to knowledge of menu. Decent local beer selection. Huge TV for games, stage for music, couches and pool tables. Food was great. Pulled pork nachos, fresh lobster chowder and killer brisket. If you like lobster they have a $ 12.99 special. Give Jax a try you will not be disappointed

Stopped in here for lunch and beers after finishing the Death Race this past weekend. Granted, it’s off season (and was a Monday) in Killington, so we were the only patrons in the place. But the selection of microbrews on tap was great, and the food was pretty damn good for bar food.
Love the atmosphere and interior. The games and couches and TVs made everything really cozy. I could see myself wanting to hang out here for hours on a winter night. But on a hot summer day, the deck was a brilliant place to hang out, drink some beers, and take in the Killington views.
