I love supporting local spots, especially places that have been in operation for multiple decades. Jack 's fit the bill for these two items. AMBIANCE Small, dark, limited seating. You 'regreeted immediately by the bar when walking in. There is no space if you have to wait for a table. I agree with otherreviewers, the drinks are solid pours. This is not the place for fancy, umbrella drink of the month cocktails. By the time thetables are full, the noise is so loud, you have raise your voice to be heard at your own table. Forcing the table next to youto raise their voices, and so, on and so on. Pretty soon you can 't hear anything. Not a date, anniversary, birthdayspot. FOOD Here 's where I don 't get it... rating these steaks as life changing could only come from folks that have neverventured outside of this local area, or have killed their taste buds with too much smoking, dipping, or fireball. Even thoughwe had leftovers, nothing was worth taking home for later. My kids even told me that my backyard steaks were better. Salad isplain iceberg lettuce with SOO much bland ranch you end up eating lettuce soup. PRICING Too high for what you get plain andsimple. While we were there, at the table next to us were two guys so hammered that by the time their food arrived one guyliterally face plant passed out into his plate. Not the behavior of customers at a high end steak house. 1 star simply becauseI was amused by the whole scene there. I can only presume folks keep coming here for nostalgia.... because I CANNOT believe itsfor the food.

Granted we didn't get there until around 730, it was about a 45 minute wait. Ordered the New York steakand I wasn't impressed. I thought the steak was great little Salty and with a little bit more of a sear then needed was almostburnt Everyone I talk to about the service and food, said the service really goes down hill as it gets later but they don'topen until 4pm My suggestion is to be there as early as you can be, they DON'T TAKE RESERVATIONS, it's first come first serve.

There's only a few things on the menu, so you know they're experienced in doing those few things well. You reallycan't go wrong with anything you order here. Their house salad that comes with all the entrees really lacks character, however,salad isn't why people come here.

Salad arrived soaked in a tasteless dressing with tasteless garlic bread. The baked potato was perfect. My New York steakwas grisly and tough. I left hungry with a doggy bag. No desserts offered. High prices. Would have been happier at Sizzler!
