    Dirty Grey Goose Martini and Buffalo Trace Old Fashioned
    J Tony R.

    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.

    Dining Area

    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.

    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.

    Ribeye soaked in butter - tender yet lacked flavor
    Jenna L.

    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!

    Crème brûlée

    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.

    The food was phenomenal and so were the drinks. My husband said it was the best lamb he's ever had and he's had it all over the world. The wait staff was all very welcoming and attentive. We also love the cozy ambiance. Definitely, will be going back.

    Bada Bing Calamari
    Erin W.

    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 $$$$

    Dry hamburger
    Jin S.

    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.

    Complimentary celebratory cheesecake
    Phoebe F.

    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.

    Steak medium rare
    Robin S.

    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.

    They gave me a complementary cheesecake for my birthday. SUPER YUMMY!
    Amanda A.

    Hubby and I had my birthday dinner there. Ambiance is great, I love the lighting and mood. Employees are very friendly and nice. The food was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! I have never had a steak like the one I had here. It was so tender and juicy. It literally felt like it would melt. Highly recommend Jacks Chophouse!

Initially, the hostess told us they couldn't accommodate our party, but then they changed their mind.

She ultimately allowed us to bypass that requirement as long as everyone ordered an entrée. Our waitress, however, was wonderful and provided excellent service throughout the meal. I ordered the clam and mussel pot, which I found surprisingly bland, though the bread was delicious. The rest of my group seemed to enjoy their meals much more than I did. Unfortunately, there were also some cleanliness concerns. A spider descended from the ceiling onto our table during dinner, and another bug crawled across the table. There was even a bug zapper in the corner of the restaurant that seemed to be going off constantly throughout our meal. For a party of seven, our bill came to around $700. Given the overall experience, the food quality, and the atmosphere, it felt a bit underwhelming for the price.

For me, the best part of our order was the bang bang shrimp. If I get to go back I'll just order 2 of those & call it good!

From the moment we arrived, the experience fell short. The live music should have added to the atmosphere, but the vocals were frequently off-key with an unpleasant, nasal quality that made the music more distracting than enjoyable. The beverage service was equally underwhelming. Water was served at room temperature without ice, and the beer arrived in a glass with a noticeable metallic, unclean odor that made me question whether the glass had been properly cleaned. We decided to order Cokes instead, only to find that soft drinks were available by the can rather than from a fountain. Unfortunately, the food did nothing to improve the experience. I ordered the Caribbean shrimp tacos, but the shrimp arrived barely warm and did not seem freshly prepared, so I sent the dish back rather than eat it. My wife's pasta was extremely bland and under-seasoned; she had to request salt and pepper just to give it some flavor. My friend ordered a burger, which appeared to be a basic frozen-style patty served on a plain white bun. Nothing about the meal reflected the level of quality we expected. Taken individually, some of these issues might have been easy to overlook. Taken together--the disappointing live entertainment, lackluster beverages, questionable glassware, and low-quality food--they made for an experience that simply wasn't worth the time or money. This was essentially our final dinner in Fredericksburg for the weekend, which made it particularly disappointing given how many enjoyable restaurants and wineries we experienced during our visit. I do want to give credit where it is deserved: despite everything else being well below expectations, the wait staff and manager were genuinely kind, professional, and apologetic about our experience. They listened to our concerns and ultimately comped the food because of the problems we encountered. I sincerely appreciated the way they handled the situation, and my criticism is not directed at the staff--the service and their response were easily the best part of the experience. Unfortunately, good service couldn't make up for the overall quality of the food and drinks. Based on our experience, I would not return and cannot recommend the restaurant.
