Jean Cairns takes a lot of pride in Angus Jack. "It's our own concept," she said. "It's a better burger and it's also personal to Ian and I. Everything about it is personalized." With locations in Springdale and now in Bentonville, Angus Jack is becoming a local favorite for burger fans around the region. Jean and her husband, Ian, opened the Springdale location five years ago. Recently the couple opened their second location in Bentonville and business has been brisk. "The ultimate goal is to franchise," Ian explained. "We want to get a third location going and open it up for franchising." With expansion in mind Ian - a longtime restaurant owner and manager - designed the concept to do one thing… create a better burger. "It has been a dream for quite a while," Jean said. "It just happened five years ago. The meat is high quality. It's fresh and never frozen. The beef is hand-pattied in the store before every shift. The fries are cut fresh." In creating their own unique restaurant concept the couple paid homage to a special family member. "We gave all of our burgers names with 'Jack' in them," she said. "It is our theme throughout the restaurant. It's named after my daddy who sadly passed away two weeks before we opened the Springdale location." Now, five years into the burger game, Angus Jack has grown its menu from a couple of burger options to a dozen-plus burgers, other sandwiches, hand cut fries, shakes and sides. All of the burgers can be customized, or "Jacked up" as the couple likes to say.
