We had a lovely experience. When we arrived they knew it was our Anniversary, which I mentioned when booking the reservation. Our Anniversary was mentioned quite a few times which we appreciated. Our waiter, Joe, was attentive and gave me a complimentary mocktail and my husband a complimentary bottle of wine for our Anniversary. The food was very good. The lamb chops were tender and seasoned just right. And the papparedelle pasta with shrimp was delicious. They offer a range of menu items and range of prices. You can grab a burger or have a bigger dinner (ie lamb chops). We chatted with our waiter a good bit, and he seemed genuinely interested in giving us an excellent dining experience. The decor was trendy/elegant. They offer a porch with huge a TV for watching sports. Overall we were so pleased with our meal and how we were treated.

We really enjoyed our afternoon lunch at Uncle Jacks Meat House. Food was good and service by Ryan was the best. Steaks were a little on the pricey side but I’m sure they would have been good. Ryan our server was extremely attentive. Left a good sized gratuity as a result. Very rare to have service that good. You have to try this place.
