    For our anniversary, we had the privilege of being served by Ebbens. From the moment we walked in, he was a fabulous vibrant server. His suggestions were wonderful. He did ask about my partner's onion and garlic allergy and was very concerned with every dish to make sure it had no contamination.he tried to accommodate it and double-check everything coming to our table. We also were fortunate to meet Drake Khann, the chef, who made the best blackened shrimp we have ever tasted, along with a perfect PERFECT medium rare waguy burgers. Now understand we've eaten in places where ordering a medium rare will likely get you rare or medium, not at JTK. Everything came out delicious. Though i must say the mango mojito left something to be desired. The foodwas perfectly made as ordered. Everything was well seasoned, properly prepared, and beautifully plated. I can't thank Ebbens and Drake enough for making our celebration even more spectacular. Be sure we will be back again and again.

    I got the fish and it had a bone in it. The managers solution was to tell me that the fish is precut and frozen so it’s not their fault. Then, the manager and server gave conflicting solutions. My desire was to just leave, so I asked for the rest of my plate (the sides) to go. The server was very kind and offered a new meal to go, and I accepted. The manager came over gave us our preordered dessert plus another one and said bye. When I asked for the meal I was offered, she said no. So, I was denied the sides I already purchased as well as the meal I was promised. After leaving, I called back to ask for a new meal or something as per the advice of my friends, and I was treated with hostility from the manager. Sparing the details, one of my favorite lines was “if you wanted something, you should have asked for it.” As if I hadn’t done that exact thing in the restaurant. Simply put, the manager ruined what was one of my favorite restaurants. If you go there, I suggest take out and avoid the fish.

    Business acquaintances were visiting Lincoln from the East Coast & Switzerland...We chose JTK primarily because we knew our guests would be somewhat selective in their food preferences and that JTK would/could support their needs, and secondly, it is a walkable location to many of the downtown hotels. The menu, service and ambiance were perfect for our table's evening - we found it easy to visit with leisure and service provided a timely but not rushed pace. Food preferences/substitutions were also handled graciously. Lincoln impressed world-travelers who are accustomed to the finest and JTK helped us look savvy for the venue choice! Thank you!

    Located in the nice and old area of town. Service was absolutely perfect. Portions are huge. If you order two or three appetizers think twice if you want to order entrees:). Even appetizers potions are huge, which is not a bad thing at all. Wine list isn’t that great, so it probably would be better if I ordered a cocktail. Ambiance is nice, quiet and romantic. People in town are generally really nice so we enjoyed it all. Definitely worth to try.

    I was so impressed with the staff, service and quality of food. We had a work dinner and planned for a certain number and ended up with extras. They staff graciously moved us to a larger table very quickly. The food was amazing, drinks delightful and ambiance above par. This was a perfect evening for our group. We will be back.

    My wife and I live on the south side and have enjoyed some of the nicest restaurants. But I wanted something different for our 21st anniversary and wanted to make sure it was romantic. JTK didn't disappoint at all. Our server was absolutely outstanding, Sydney was so kind and so interactive. She made it a fun night. The store manager, Katie allowed me to set up our table before the restaurant opened and it helped make our night that much better. The food was absolutely outstanding too. We would definitely go back. I am a huge advocate of JTK now. It was one of our best dining experiences.

    I felt it was uncomfortably to quiet. There wasn’t light music. I felt it was kind of borning as far as atmosphere. The menu was vey basic. The drinks were good, however there was nice ice in the water which was room temperature at best. The dessert ( blueberry bread pudding) was amazing. I most likely would not return.

    We really liked this place. There aren't many options for a good steakhouse in Lincoln and so I was please that this one had received good reviews. We went to JTK's for my daughter's 22nd birthday. The food was excellent. My kids ordered the Wagu filet and I ordered the surf and turf. Only complaint I would have was I would have liked the if the shrimp would have been grilled vs fried. Our waitress was very good other than she left us for a good 20 minutes after she dropped off the meal. We were looking to order a couple more drinks. She seemed like she was new but was trying hard so I would give her points for that.
