About the restaurant

Saint Jacques at The Burke Manor Inn is the only 4 Diamond AAA rated restaurant in the Triad. Located in the picturesque railway town of Gibsonville, we serve dinner Wednesday - Saturday and lunch Thursday - Saturday. We recommend reservations! Enjoy a glass of wine on the veranda then convene to the intimate dining room where a fine French meal is offered.

They have brought those same standards they applied in Raleigh for 10 years to the Inn. As of 2014 they have received the 4 Diamond AAA rate yearly.

About the restaurant

Enjoy the panoramic view of large oaks and a rolling stream from the many window-side tables, or the large, starlight deck. Or, savor the intimate atmosphere from a comfortable sofa, and in the winter, the warmth of a crackling fireplace.

Ryan's Chef creates a tantalizing selection of appetizers such as jumbo lump crabmeat, steamed mussels in garlic butter and white wine, and oysters Rockefeller. Entrees range from thick, juicy steaks and prime rib to the finest grilled fresh fish and live Maine lobster. Choose from the menu or a superb selection of specials offered nightly. Add a cappuccino and a freshly made dessert to seal the dining experience.

The restaurant has been locally owned and under the same management since 1981. Ryan's has been awarded the Wine Spectator's "Award of Excellence" and is often featured in national publications. Recently awarded the DiRoNa Award for Distinctive Fine Dining.

This is “real food,” with no chemicals, trans fats, hormones, or pesticides. Just locally-raised, all-natural goodness. Our fish is line-caught in deep water, served only hours after the take. And our meats are superb. Corn-fed, naturally-nurtured, wet-aged beef. Fresh chicken. Fresh Oysters. All prepared to perfection and served with conviction.
Thanks for coming over for dinner. Enjoy the freshness at The Great American Steakhouse, B. Christopher’s.

My husband and I had the Chateaubriand, which was cooked perfectly. I also had the spinach salad, which I would recommend. My husband had the French Onion Soup, which he said was excellent. The sides and sauces were wonderful, too. Of course, we had dessert, which was very good as well. The service was impeccable. All in all, a very enjoyable evening. If we are back in the area, we would definitely go back.

I’ve been wanting to check this place out for awhile and it did not disappoint. Enjoyed a nice evening out with my girlfriends. We did go on a Tuesday so their chef was not there for a main dish selection. Something to consider for a date night out that you may want a full course meal. Otherwise, the flatbreads and appetizers we ordered were delicious. And there was a record player that we could select and play albums on. Will definitely be a repeat customer.

Flemings is our favorite steakhouse in Greensboro. Our family of 7 dinner there last night was exceptional. Service was great! Food was great! Everyone loved the various steaks we had. My daughter had the miso Sea Bass and she gave me a bite. WOW. Chilean sea bass is one of my favorite fish, and it was the top of the charts for me.
