We've eaten at Jack's Chophouse several times now, and it never disappoints. The atmosphere is one of the things we love most about the place. It feels like stepping into a New York City chophouse--vibrant, warm, friendly, and just a great place to have dinner. The staff has always been fantastic, and last night was no exception. Our server was attentive, helpful, and never missed a beat. The bartender was fantastic as well. And the food? Exceptional. Without question, the best steak anywhere around this area. My wife and I split the New York strip, our buddy had the ribeye, and his wife had the lasagna. We shared the au gratin potatoes and Brussels sprouts at the table. My wife and I started with a wedge salad, and our friends split the Caprese salad. Everything was absolutely delicious. Jack's has become one of our favorite places in Fredericksburg. If you're visiting the area and looking for a great steakhouse and a great evening out, I highly recommend it. Five stars from us.
We had a nice anniversary dinner at Jacks Chophouse. Love the look of the establishment. It's the typical older home in Fredericksburg that was turned into a restaurant. Our server, Brian, was very attentive. We went with the rib eye and the shrimp scampi for our entrees and the stuffed mushrooms and the calamari for the appetizers. We ordered way too much but we enjoyed every bite! We finished our dinner with a banana foster which was delicious! This is definitely a place worth checking out when in Fredericksburg.
Let me say this place gets packed and for a good reason. Take a look at the pick. The ribeye was on a bed of garlic. It was cooked to perfection medium as always! The potatoes were finely sliced. The brussel sprouts were crispy. Great atmosphere with great food! Oh customer service was fantastic!
Elegant dining in Fredericksburg. Located on Main Street a little bit off the beaten path, this is a great dining establishment unlike many of the others in town. They encourage more Formal which is refreshing in a town where most restaurants invite casual. We were on time for our reservation, but waited a few minutes in their small waiting area. The hostess/manager had a bit of a school principal attitude, but overall was pleasant. We were seated in a small room amongst several other tables, but still felt intimate. The lighting is a bit on the dark side, but the candles bring out a great atmosphere. A violinist and cello created a romantic feeling (Enchanted Rock Orchestra Strolling Duo). We started with cocktails, which were crafted beautifully. The menu has old classics as well as innovative ones. For the appetizers, we had the focaccia bread which was delicious as well as the stuffed mushrooms which were delicately made and quite tasty. The wine list is short but encompasses Old world and New World wines. My wife had a Bordeaux while I had a Tuscany blend. Both delicious. For our entrées, we shared the filet mignon with peppercorn sauce with candied brussels sprouts and hand whipped mashed potatoes as sides. The food was surprisingly delicious, well presented and portioned. We truly enjoyed our entrées. For dessert we had the bananas foster cheesecake. Unique, not too sweet, delicious ending. If you come to Fredericksburg, definitely try this restaurant. You will enjoy the experience, the ambience and most definitely the food.
Friendly, attentive staff, but the food was lackluster and their reservation process would keep me from visiting again. - Ordered the 10 oz Wagyu steak special for $120 and it was a bland, neutral flavor. Wagyu should taste highly flavorful! - Mashed potatoes were authentic, yet also bland and lacked flavor. - Great cocktails and wine options. - Very limited space inside. It's difficult to walk to the bar or bathroom without running into multiple people, so if you prefer spacious areas, lookup pics of this place first! - Charging around $20 per person to book a reservation (refunded at check-in) and being unable to change a reservation the day before, even when the restaurant still shows availability, is ridiculous. I've visited tiny islands where the locals truly depend on tourism for every dollar of their livelihood, so you can't tell me this restaurant needs to charge for reservations to survive. I've never experienced this anywhere as a frequent traveler! - I respect their strict NO ball caps policy, but it was odd that my husband and I had a large naked Marilyn Monroe portrait on the wall for our main view. That's not exactly classy either!
Excellent customer service, drinks, and food. We went to celebrate my birthday and they had a sign at the table saying happy birthday,, cute touch! We started with the focaccia bread will roasted garlic dipping oil, it was good. We both got the 8 oz filets. I had mine with the peppercorn sauce and added the shrimp and my hubby had the chimicurri sauce on the sauce. Both sauces complemented the steaks nicely and the shrimp were huge! We got mashed potatoes to share as well. They brought me the crème brûlée as a complimentary dessert for my birthday, it was very good, but I was still stuffed from dinner. If you are in the area and looking for a nice steak dinner, go give them your business.
Wow what a beautiful ambiance inside, I love all of the black and white photos of different celebrities. There wasn't a wait whenever we came and we didn't have a reservation, however I could see this place getting busy. For an appetizer we had the Bada Bing Calamari and the sauce it's tossed in tastes very similar to orange chicken, very different than any calamari I've tried before. My sister ordered the sliders and said they were cooked really well. I got the Lemon Chicken Scallopini and wow the flavor is incredible plus the chicken was battered perfectly. I wish the potatoes were a bit crispier, however the flavor was on point. Highly recommend for a date night because of the beautiful interior or even to celebrate a special occasion.
This place was incredible--easily one of my top ten dining experiences ever. From the moment we walked up, even being greeted by a server coming in from the patio, to the warm welcome from the hostess and staff as we entered and were seated, it felt as though we were being invited into someone's home. Amanda started by bringing out a complimentary tomato and mozzarella appetizer, and she continued to be an attentive, friendly server who made the experience even better. The Parmesan trout was outstanding, and the ribeye arrived on a sizzling hot plate, bathed in melted butter--absolutely unforgettable. And the mashed potatoes? I wish I could have those at Thanksgiving. The Mulberry Street Tartufo Sundae was enjoyed by my husband and was definitely large enough for two to three people--he even took some home. My only disappointment was the crème brûlée; the top didn't "crack" as expected and instead had a thick, chewy layer that I ended up not eating. Overall, this is a wonderful spot for a special occasion or anytime you're in the mood for a nicer evening out. Definitely $$$$
Came here on a random weekend. The good: Our waitress was very friendly and polite. It's a cute restaurant with a lot of JFK memorabilia. The not so good: Ordered a rib eye and I really think they gave us a strip. There was no marbling and it was extremely tough and very difficult to chew. The texture and taste was more like a strip than a ribeye. If it actually was the rib eye, it is the toughest ribeye I've ever had. The flavor was good though (and had a very beefy taste like a strip). Ordered medium rare and it was cooked correctly (medium rare) so that's good. FYI it is pre-sliced. The hamburger was probably the dryest hamburger I've had in my life. It was ordered medium rare and it came out well done like a leather shoe. It even crumbled apart because it was so dry. I added bacon and even the bacon was dry! I have no idea what happened. Fries were good though. Trout was a little dry and bland. It was fresh though. Asked for a side of any kind of sauce they had. They brought out bernaise sauce (extra $4 charge on the bill) The food took an incredibly long time to come out. I think we waited for an hour. I really wanted to like this place, especially since our waitress was great but I won't come back and don't recommend this place. The food didn't hit the mark. They also charge a 3% credit card processing fee so that was fun. Everything was $212 with 22% tip.
We had a wonderful experience for a special occasion dinner. When we arrived for our reservation, we were offered a complimentary glass of wine while they prepared our table. This was such a nice touch, and we got to enjoy the artwork and live music as we waited. Our server was very professional and kind, and the service was great all around. Drinks were good, and we really enjoyed the food. The French onion soup, Brussels sprouts, and sliced potatoes were all delicious. The steaks were huge! They were tasty and cooked well, but there were quite a few gristly pieces in both steaks we ordered. This wasn't a big deal for us since the portions are so huge, you could just eat around them. Next time we might order a fish or pasta and steak to share. I do think this is one of the best places to eat in Fredericksburg. We had a very good experience, and the service and ambiance is what makes the restaurant stand out. Our server brought a complimentary dessert over for our special occasion and even brought the live band over to sing a snippet of a song for us. It was special and we will definitely be back.
Everything went well! We had a lackluster anniversary dinner the evening before and this place definitely made up for it. The ambience was relaxed and inviting. We were sat near the front to the side of the bar. It was a busy spot and not the most romantic, but this was easily overlooked by the live instrumental music, a violinist and bassist were a welcoming touch. They helped set the mood. On our table was a plaque recognizing our 25th anniversary celebration, which was a nice touch. Our waitress immediately approached us, welcomed us, and congratulated us. She was engaging and on her game the entire evening. For drinks, I ordered the NY Sour and my partner a glass of Decoy red wine. They were promptly brought to us. Our waitress gave us breathing room to enjoy our drinks before placing our order. While doing so, the hostess came by and lit our candle. When we were finally ready to order, the decision was simple. We were lucky enough to be there on T-bone Thursdays. The meal consisted of an 18 Oz pre-cut T-bone with mashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Plenty for us to share. It was amazing. Since our go-to steak is usually ribeye, we had not had a T-bone in quite a while, and it was worth the wait. One of the better steaks we have ever had, seasoned well and cooked perfectly medium rare. The potatoes were solid, but shown up by the carrots. Even sharing it, we could not finish it, especially once we were told we would be given a complimentary cheesecake. Might I add, one of the creamiest and most flavorful ones ever. We had no choice but to make room for it. Everything about Jack's screamed NY except for the attitudes. Everyone was friendly. I highly recommend them, and make sure to ask about its history while there.
I've been to Jack's a few times and had great experiences, but I felt like this past time there were a few things that you would want to know when making a resolution: 1. they are having some air-conditioning issues so the room that is next to the bar is exceptionally cold. When making your reservation I would ask to be seated in one of the other rooms. 2. I feel like every restaurant does their steak temperatures a little different, which is totally fine. But sometimes I feel like having a reference point helps you know how you might want to order. So I attached a picture of medium rare. In my opinion, if you are between to choices, maybe pick the upper one.

Had a great experience! We ordered the family platter and everything was done to perfection. Cristy took care of us start to finish and made great recommendations. They had a violinist and bass player playing music which was a nice touch. read more

The Brussels were amazing! Was really looking forward to having the shrimp scampi but was told that it didn't come with pasta- uh what? Really odd. So i ordered the steak medium rare and it came out well done. Not the best place in town but it worked for our group. Just don't expect top notch steak here read more

The steak was amazing - the meat was clearly well aged, cooked to perfection, and the garlic butter sauce and roasted garlic just the right finish. Our appetizer (meatballs) were delicious and the sides (mashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts) were also amazing. We really enjoyed the ambiance and Josh took really great care of our table. 10/10. We'll definitely be back! read more

Cons: Made a reservation for 8 pm on a Saturday night because the website touted that those who made reservations from 8pm to 8:30pm would get a free glass of wine per person and live music would be available. We did not receive the wine and had even heard our waiter incorrectly tell another group that the wine deal was for before 8 pm. We also did not hear any live music. Boo... We asked for our steaks to be medium rare, but it was much more on the rare side. To top it all off, we were charged $9 for a sautéed mushroom and onions side that we never ordered or received. Pros: Food came out pretty quickly. The service was friendly and prompt. Atmosphere was elegant and cozy. The ribeye steak was tender and delicious, though under seasoned. The drink menu includes non-alcoholic mixed drinks for those who do not drink alcohol. The mashed potatoes and asparagus with bernaise sides were flavorful. Overall, food was delicious, but the weird extra charge and lack of follow-through with their free wine and music advertisement kind of soured our experience. read more

Amazing service, and the food was spectacular. Susanna provided phemnomal service. Executive chef, Evan, delivered on all levels with the presentation of the food and culinary explanation. Plus a personal performance by local musicians took this experience over the top. You have to make a reservation and take in this top notch dining experience in Fredericksburg, Texas! read more

Hmmm... so Great place as far as decor, staff and individualtiy but we were not 100% on the food. First off wine list is awesome but price point is (bottle only no by glass) $$$$$$$, these are the bottles you can take with you if you do not finish, there is a separate list $$$$ for glass/bottle. They do have happy hours so check them out before you go. The place is small which is nice and it looks like they have some great cocktails, the bar was full with what seemed to be regulars. We choose the family style option, went with the beef, i believe it is 55 a person. Ceasar salad was just sad, and who leaves whole anchovies, needed more acid/salt which I got a burst of it when I chomped down on the entire anchovie ... I like to not see them just eat them, to say the least the salad was bland. next came the apps/antipasta... picture below, it left us confused.... the lasagna was EH at best, sause tasted canned, the cheese (I think it was cheese) on the asparagaus was runny Velveeta and bleed into the other dishes, maybe a drizzle of a good chees or shavings of a parm would have been nice but the saucy stuff just made the plate a mess. The mushroom caps wer tasty but the wrinkled olives were just, well, funny to look at...you know what i mean.. overall the plate was a mess. Our main dish came out, I love buter but WOW, it was tasty and seasoned great, would have loved more of the carrots and even another galic bulb but over all the main course was good. We took dessert to go, LOL wish I had take a photo of it, sliver of cheescake that just looked sad in the container, no strawberry, a dollip of cream just the one sliver .. On our way out we realized the music we were hearing was live so that was awesome and we enjoyed overhearing the conversations of the cutest couple in there, father/daughter date... Overall it was not HORRIBLE but not sure I would go back for a meal, maybe just the steak..... if we venture back it will probably be for happy hour drinks read more

I just stumbled on this restaurant tonight. It opened I believe yesterday. Had an old fashioned and the pasta with chicken. (As much as I wanted a steak I couldn't justify without my wife). The pasta was phenomenal, I ate at the bar and it was inviting and welcoming. I couldn't be happier that this restaurant opened this side of main. It's so easy for me to walk to. Friendly staff. Highly recommend! read more

We came here for a birthday, and the server was on top of it! She brought a lit candle cheesecake which was delicious. They bagged the leftovers, which we had plenty of and was very appreciated. We had a group of 8, which we did have to give a deposit for, but they did great with our larger party. Delicious! read more
