Jackass Brewing Company brings broad pub appeal to Williamsport

What the public feedback says

Jackass Brewing Company’s Williamsport location holds a 4.4 Google rating from 378 reviews. The available diner feedback points to a versatile brewpub rather than a bar that treats food as an afterthought. Visitors mention stopping in for lunch, choosing it for Sunday dinner and arriving for a quick bite that turned into a longer stay.

That flexibility appears to be one of its main strengths. One reviewer specifically chose Jackass because the menu offered more than fried food and sandwiches, an important distinction for groups trying to balance pub cravings with lighter or potentially gluten-free choices. Another diner paired tacos with a crisp, plentiful Cobb Salad. The overall picture is of a casual, mid-range place that can handle a full meal as comfortably as drinks and snacks.

Food worth considering

The strongest food comments cover several corners of the menu. The Bawk! Bawk! Boom! chicken sandwich drew an enthusiastic response, while another review praised a similarly named chick chick boom item for its flavor. Fried pickles and fried hot peppers also performed well, suggesting that the kitchen’s fried starters are popular even though the menu is not limited to that category.

Beyond those richer choices, diners have positive things to say about tacos and the Cobb Salad. A lunch visitor enjoyed the pub burger, while a companion ordered the margarita flatbread. No single dish dominates the limited review sample, but the range is useful: burgers and chicken sandwiches for classic pub appetites, tacos and flatbread for sharing or mixing things up, and salad for diners who want something fresher.

There is one meaningful caution. A customer who ordered takeout soon after opening reported that listed ingredients or sauces seemed to be missing. That same person later returned, ate inside and described a much better experience. It is only one account, but it suggests dining in may currently provide the more reliable impression.

Beer, cocktails and atmosphere

Beer receives straightforward praise for arriving cold and tasting good. The Donkey Lime Pie Sour stands out as the only named brew in these reviews, described as crisp and refreshing. Cocktail drinkers are not left out either, with an Espresso Martini receiving a specific recommendation.

Service comments are also favorable. Multiple reviewers singled out bartenders by name, and the bar is repeatedly presented as a good place to sit. Reports of friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere support the idea that Jackass works well for travelers, nearby campers and locals settling in for an unhurried meal.

The verdict

Synthesized from the public rating and review patterns, Jackass Brewing Company looks like a dependable Williamsport brewpub with enough menu breadth to satisfy mixed groups. The best approach is to dine in, start with a house beer or cocktail and choose between the well-received chicken sandwich, tacos, burger or a substantial salad. It is especially appealing when the goal is casual food without being restricted to a short list of fried standards.
