    Service was great, we had a party of 11, 2 babies under age 2, they took care of us very well. The Portahouse steak for three was awesome, as well as the tomahawk rib eye. Overall very nice. We will go back!

    We took a couple of friends to dinner last night and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. The service was great- polite, professional, and not intrusive. The appetizers, sides, and desserts were excellent. The porterhouse for 2 was spectacular. I highly recommend Uncle Jacks, especially as a place to celebrate a special occasion.

    Uncle J rocked it out with a delicious, perfectly cooked porterhouse for two. My wife and I, along with our grandson all shared this entree and it was enough for all of us. Garlic mashed were average and rather cold. The Brussel sprout special was excellent . Warm pecan pie and NY cheesecake finished off the late afternoon lunch/dinner.

    We went there earlier than our reservation time, we were asked to sit at the bar while waiting which we did, the receptionist took a long time to have us seated, there were available table but too big for two so she waited until we told her that we need to get out of there soon bcoz we have another appointment that is when she decide to give us the big table. This is to me not very professional bcoz why would she have us wait when there is already available table it doesn’t matter if it’s big for us that’s their available table at that moment.

    I used to love this place we’ve been coming here for over 15 years but yesterday was the worst experience I have ever had here. The service was terrible despite the fact that we were the only table. The steak was good but the side dishes were terrible. The mast potatoes lumpy and watery, the creamed spinach was more like sautéed than creamed with big whole garlic cloves. The lobster salad had too much dressing I could not taste anything else. So disappointed.

    The food was tasty, but we were seated upstairs by the bar and it was noisy. The service was good and the food was good value for the price. I can’t understand why they would charge a service fee for a party of four and add service charge for the use of the credit card.

    The food is always outstanding but what Jacks does far far better than most is make you feel like a very special guest. For example we had a table of five and wanted to share appetizers not portioned on the menu for five. They reportioned and plated a sampler plate for each of us. ALSO (and this is important) Bacon corn brulee is the best steakhouse side dish in North America.

    The valet parking was a plus since it was hard to find a spot. Service was excellent. My boyfriend had the baked clams and burger which were delicious. I ordered the lobster salad which was excellent but my main dish (chicken) was dry. I did not enjoy it. I would skip the chicken for sure and try something else if I were to go back.
