Recent updates
The Tanners from Tanners Land and Tree Service ponied up during an auction a few months ago and won naming rights to the joint for six months. They settled on Tanners Axehole! This update doesn’t change the fact that this is a restaurant, not an axe-throwing place. It was a lengthy process with some real doozies. Anyhow, they’ve got a couple of burger-ish menu items we’ll be rolling out over the next 6 months along with some stickers and shirts. With signage, the Tanners will also be fielding all senseless complaints (from I ordered a cheeseburger and it has cheese on it to these jalapeños are too hot) any FBI raids, noise complaints, jury duty summons, or other BS from authorities can also be channeled their direction. Enjoy Tanners!
What's with the name?
We could tell you about our fabled outlaw uncle from 6 generations ago who went by the name of Anaheim Jacks, but we won’t bore you.
There is a variation of the New Mexico Chile that was introduced to Southern California by Emilio Ortego in 1894 called the Anaheim Pepper. The Anaheim is bolder in flavor and lacks the heat of the New Mexico Chile. However, when we started brainstorming a name, we were under the impression that the New Mexico Green Chile was derived from the Anaheim Pepper and paying homage to the most delicious and versatile chile known to man. We settled on the first part of the outlaws’ name and the last part, just kinda rolls off your tongue, doesn’t it? We are not from California, but that Pacific Coast Highway is hard to beat.

JACK's facks
Jack gave his father “the talk.” Jack ‘s feet don’t get blisters, his shoes do. Jack once went to a psychic to warn her. Jack can speak Russian in French. Superman has pajamas with Jack’s logo. Jack does not sleep. He waits. If you want a list of Jack’s enemies, just check the extinct species list. Sharks have a week dedicated to Jack. Jack has counted to infinity…twice! Jack starts a fire with dental floss and water. Jack’s lovemaking has been detected by a seismograph. A tarantula hawkwasp once bit Jack’s leg. After 5 days of excruciating pain, the hawkwasp died. Jack’s mother has a tattoo that says “Son.” Jack seasons his steak with pepper spray. Jack once parallel-parked a train. Jack once punched a horse in the chin, its descendants are now known as giraffes. Jack went skydiving once, but promised never to do it again. One Grand Canyon is plenty. Jack has a bear skin rug. The bear isn’t dead though, it’s just afraid to move. Jack is a lover, not a fighter, but he is also a fighter so don’t get any ideas.
in the know
With the ever changing pay rates, taxes, fees, and general cost of products, we can’t help but pass price increases along to the customer when they come. It is absolutely out of our control… BUT, we can guarantee the most bang for your buck in offering a top quality, freshly made, in-house lunch or dinner, friendly service, cold beer, and good booze.
We know y’all are the reason we are here and we thank you for that!
Booze Selections
We offer the largest selection of Draft Beer in Lincoln County with 36 taps and second only to Inn of the Mountain Gods in Otero County for the largest selection in the area. (We keep ours colder though…)
Point your camera at this funny box
We have been known to change our beers up several times over the course of the weekend. Your server may not know what is currently on tap. Please scan the QR code (above) for a real-time list of current beers and a full list of our spirits. If you just want to drink a Silver or something like it, we’ve always got ’em.
Have some class
We bought the barrel and the rest is up to you! Upgrade your tired bourbon to the AJ’s blend Jack Daniel’s and watch that Jalopy turn into a Honda and that nickel on your arm turn into a dime. Step your game up with this nectar of the gods only at Anaheim Jacks.
