    Excellent as always! We took our brother-in-law and his wife there for his birthday. Food was amazing! The Cornish game hen was so delicious! My husband raved about the chicken picatta. My BIL loved the pork chop. Service was excellent (Thanks Olivia!) and we always love sharing our favorite place with friends and family!

    My prime rib steak was mushy and 1/3 of it was nothing but solid fat. Service was amazing as always.

    It’s always unpredictable at JB Hooks what kind of service you will receive. We stopped going to the restaurant side two years ago due to poor steaks and subpar service. Thought we’d give it another try and nothing has changed. We knew not to order beef, and our meals were fine, but not for the price. The service was as always, poor. Sat down as a table of 2, 15 minutes after our reservation. Server was pleasant, she just had too many tables. Drinks were always empty, no bread till meal service, hostess were just not pleasant. It’s just always lacking and it was no different. Probably won’t try it again for a year or so.
