Wonderful restaurant, especially for happy hour. We have come several times and Amanda was our server. She was perfect -helpful without being over bearing. I really like the Monroe cocktail and the wine. The sliders, wings, wedge salad and burrito caprese are all good. The bread is also very good. The antipasto platter with the lasagna is also good for several people. The atmosphere is very nice with good music and decor. I've enjoyed Jacks with girlfriends or with my husband. The 50s decor is a bit before my time but it's fun to guess who the people are in the photos. We look forward to coming back soon for our wedding anniversary. read more

We drove from Houston and this was our first stop in town. When we walked in (no reservation) we were greeted immediately with a friendly welcome and a warm smile. The ambiance was great! The food was excellent and the drinks were great too. But the best part was our waiter: server Kyle was friendly, funny, and attentive throughout the evening. We would be happy to make this a regular stop when we are here. read more

Delicious food and drinks - great service and hospitality - and a lodge / cabin like ambience. Cozy interior. We went to celebrate our engagement and it was such a great spot for it. Cocktails were nice - I had the cucumber martini which tasted refreshing. Bread starter was low key fire! I had the 4 oz petite filet cooked medium rare and the cut literally melted in my mouth. Fiance had the shrimp scampi and loved it. For sides we shared the mashed potatoes and asparagus. Finished both. Their use of oven roasted garlic elevated each dish. Note - most of their steaks are like 18 oz ; made for sharing! Jack's also gave us sparkling wine and a slice of cheesecake to help commemorate our special occasion. Cannot recommend this place enough! read more

We came here on a Tuesday to celebrate my wife's birthday. The restaurant has a small parking lot. We had reservations and were sat right away. The restaurant is small and dark. We came during happy hour and both got the happy hour petite filet special and one side of fries. The portions were small, but just enough. The food was excellent and a great deal for the price. read more

Although they want to claim a NY steakhouse , they lack the proper service to make this happen. We had to ask for silverware when steak came, refills of water glasses. Then our peppercorn sauce never arrived until we asked ! Finally a "lead -waitress " came and apologized but spoke so loud it was embarrassing!! She and our server at best should only , work at a Dennys ! I've been to top NY steakhouses and this is not even close when it comes to service ! I will have to say the 40 oz porterhouse was delicious! read more

We came to Jack's Chophouse for dinner after a long day of visiting vineyards. It offers a delightful dining experience that combines rustic charm with exceptional cuisine. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for both casual dinners and special occasions. Mike the host was exceptional! Reservations are a must! As they are usually booked days in advance. The menu features a variety of expertly prepared steaks cooked to perfection, accompanied by a selection of creative sides that complement the main courses beautifully. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall experience with their friendly service. We sat at the bar and Theresa and Carlos were spectacular! My salmon dinner was of the best. The lemon honey glaze was phenomenal. My friends order the steak and one ordered the chef signature chicken parmigiana! All delicious. Sides and appetizers: Capes burrata 5/5 Candied Brussels sprouts 5/5 Roasted carrots 5/5 Cheese cake 5/5 Jack's Chophouse is a must-visit for a memorable meal. read more

HORRENDOUS FOOD AND SERVICE!!! Pizza Hut would have been better! Sunday night reservation Arrived at 5:20 pm On our wedding night.....yes our first meal out after a morning wedding.. Our server was so slow and inattentive that we had to flag down anyone for water, ordering drinks and to get our orders placed. It wasn't just with our table, it was a room of painfully slow service and frustrated people. Begging anyone who happened to come by, is not a way to enjoy your first meal as a couple. Seeing nobody enter the room for service resulted in utter frustration and anxiety. Then, the fish was so overcooked that I had to put mash potatoes on every bite to swallow it followed by a big gulp of water. I begged anyone to refill my water glass to just get through the meal. Begging for 4 glasses of water was the main experience of the night. At this point, left over wedding cake sounded better than gagging down one more dried out bite. I wanted to leave. We had to beg 4 different people for the check. It was horrible service as everyone was too busy to help out. We waited in the corner caught like animals trying to get out of a hot mess Sunday dinner proud. Oh such a nice experience to the very end of our nightmare out. I couldn't have been more miserable and it ruined our wedding day. Quietly, I told one of the team membera that this was my wedding celebration dinner. He was shocked and knew. I wished I went to Pizza Hut instead. I haven't been in a Pizza Hut in 30+ years. Yes, the evening was that bad. McDonald's would have had better food, service and experience. read more

Wow! 2nd time here and everything was FANTASTIC including the service! We ordered the bone marrow and bang bang calamari to start. Wednesdays are 1/2 off select wine so we did. Bottle of Camus, followed by a n amazing chopped salad and filet. We look forward to coming every time we are in town now! Thank you Aurora and Andy for an Amazing experience! Thank you to bar and food staff as well! read more

Our second visit! Kevin is so welcoming when we come into Jacks Chophouse. This evening we were seated in the back area of this cozy and romantic steakhouse. We had Meg(an) as our waitress and she was so personable and helpful with all of our questions! We started with the Mexican martini, mojito, shrimp cocktail, and warm bread. (Husband wanted the bread and I'm not mad about it after trying it...) For our mains we shared the delicious mashed potatoes (so garlicky, yum), asparagus, bone in filet mignon and New York strip. Both medium rare and absolute perfection. Thank you Megan T. for the wonderful experience! read more

Wife and I celebrated our anniversary early since next week we'll be working during it. Made the reservation a month ago and the process was smooth. We checked in 15 minutes early (to be prompt and also we were hungry) and they were able to seat us. Megan was our server and was awesome, polite, attentive and friendly. Wife got the Filet and I got the Ribeye and we got the potatoes au gratin and roasted carrots. Everything from the food to the service and atmosphere were perfect and we were very happy to have the opportunity to eat here. We didn't get dessert as we were very full but will have to try another time! read more

Really enjoyed my birthday dinner here. Everyone on the staff was super welcoming and made sure to wish me a happy birthday. We started with the sausage stuffed mushrooms, which we both enjoyed. I only wish there were a few more mushrooms for this appetizer. For the main course, I ordered one of the evening specials, which included a T-bone steak and several grilled shrimp, while my wife enjoyed the NY strip. Both were cooked to perfection at medium rare and medium, respectively. Each steak also sat in bed of rich garlic butter. Finally, we shared the candied Brussel sprouts, which like most sides, is intended to serve 2-3. For dessert, we opted for the banana foster NY cheesecake, which was also quite good. Other than food, we enjoyed a few cocktails, especially the Manhattan and New York Sour, and I ended my dinner the only way one should... a warm, refreshing shot of espresso. Overall, Andy was a great server and gave us a very informed introduction to the menu. As a native NYer, I approve hehe read more

Food was expensive and mediocre I think that Outback is better for much lower cost. Wine list was basically inexpensive grocery store wines but marked up x 4. I don't know why you would not include some local wines in Fredericksburg. The place seemed to have some kind of identity crisis between wanting to be Italian/upscale steak house / Hill Country and ending up not really doing any of the above well. I will not be going back. read more

We had an absolute perfect evening at Jack's celebrating my sister's wedding!! Everything was smooth from the point of making the reservation to the service to the amazing food and drinks! We truly could not have asked for a better experience and the restaurant staff truly made the experience perfect.

We went to Jacks on Tuesday for their New York Strip and fries special. The dish was fabulous, cooked perfectly with a wonderful sauce. We had our dog with us so we sat outside on the porch and it was a beautiful setting to enjoy a nice afternoon. We called ahead to make sure we could get an outside table since we had our pup and they had the table all set for us. Kyle was very attentive and timed our food perfectly. We will definitely be back! read more

Visited this week and we took a chance without a reservation! The host gladly found us an available table but I do recommend a reservation as the place gets full! I ordered a mocktail and was somewhat disappointed. The Bellini seemed watered down a with no flavoring. The bread and dipping oil was very good! The bread was fresh and warm. I also ordered a wedge salad. This is my salad of choice at all establishments! It was the perfect combination of crisp lettuce, blue cheese dressing, pecans and candied bacon! It was so good! We opted for the tomahawk steak. The menu recommends to order it medium rare but it mostly comes out on the dish as rare. I am ok with rare since that is always my preference but my fiancée prefers medium rare. Kyle, great server by the way, made the perfect recommendation about the steak. He recommended we flip it in the sizzling plate and rare will soon be medium... perfect sense! In my opinion the steak was not seasoned well. I was expecting a tasty seasoning to complement the temp of the steak. I was disappointed. I was tempted to ask for salt and pepper but I did not. Anyway, the garlic potatoes and mushrooms and onion sides were good. Not delicious but good. I ended the mask with a most delicious dessert! I forgot the name but will add a picture! It had ice cream, fruit compote, chocolate crust, whipped cream and cherries! I Ferrari Roche surprise was in the center of it all! I do not recommend you bring children since it is more for adults and I did not see a kid's menu. The atmosphere is perfect! It is romantic too and you can have a good conversation!. read more

Busy night - service suffered. We were seated in the back section and apparently the only table our waiter had there as he kept running from kitchen to front room tables w/o noticing me waving for over 15 minutes to get more lemons for our calamari. Asked hostess for our waiter and instead she assigned another waiter to us who was working our room. Definitely an improvement. Filet and NY strip order MedRare both came out overcooked on cold plates. Crème brûlée's was watery. The good: Ambience was wonderful! read more

My husband and I were excited to try Jack's Chop House in Fredricksberg. Before arriving ,we read the dress code and were looking forward to dinning at a restaurant that expressly stated " no baseball hats, professional dress, men encouraged to wear a jacket, women to wear cocktail attire ." It we stated that ball caps were to be removed and placed on a rack by the door. We were looking forward to seeing patrons dressed appropriately. We followed the dress code and we were the only ones that had complied with the instructions on the website. At the table in front of us, eleven men came in dressed in shorts, four of them in ball caps, the server did not ask them to remove their hats. We were disappointed as we had respected the instructions of the restaurant. The food was good as was the service. We admired the interior decor, It reminded us of restaurants in New York. It was not the experience we were expecting. read more

We checked online and saw open reservations, even called, but never received a response. So, we drove over to see what the issue was--only to be told they were fully booked. To make matters worse, the hosts laughed in my wife's face and told me to "try next time." No effort was made to accommodate us. As a fairly new restaurant, I would expect better business etiquette. My wife and I run a business ourselves, and we know the customer should always come first. I left feeling truly disappointed, because we were excited to try this place and give it a chance. We probably will not ever try it because of this experience. read more

With so many great dining options in Fredericksburg, it says a lot that we make it a point to visit both Jack's Chophouse and Martinis (same fantastic owners) at least once every trip. The service is consistently outstanding, and the food is truly exceptional. I'm not typically a seafood person, but I order the shrimp cocktail every single time -- it's that good and easily one of my favorite items on the menu. The seafood platter at Martinis is absolutely impressive and unlike anything else in town. And the steaks at Jack's? Simply some of the best I've ever had -- anywhere. Pro tip: Make reservations for Jack's, and plan to arrive early at Martinis. Both are well worth it. read more

Service was amazing and the food was to die for! Our server Sandy was polite and very attentive. Thank you for making our visit memorable!

We hurried here after arriving in Fredericksburg to get there in time for Happy hour. Of course there were no seats at the Bar at 5:15 on a Tuesday. But they let us sit at a table in the bar area. We each had a specialty HH cocktail. Then we ordered the HH special prime rib sandwich to split. Note there IS a deal on Yelp for 10% off your bill with check in and we did ask our waitress about it -she was going to send over the manager, but never did. We didn't push it since we were already getting HH specials and splitting something. The sandwich was surprisingly good, and if I lived in Fredericksburg, I would go back for it again and again. Very tender meat with a good spice to it and a nice soft brioche roll. read more

We came for dinner on Thanksgiving evening. We are from out of town and in Fredericksburg to visit family. Wow, what an incredible experience and meal. Sandy, our server took the utmost care of us, and her suggestions were spot on! She definitely added to our evening. We had the rib eye steak and it was probably the best we've ever had. Everything that we ordered was top notch! It is expensive but definitely worth it. If you are in town and want a lovely meal, you wont be disappointed.

OMG! What a treat in the beautiful Texas Hill Country... we dined at Jack's Chophouse on New Year's Eve, an amazing NY-style steakhouse in Fredericksburg, TX.

It's an experience!!! Served with a fine Napa cab! Highly recommend Jack's Chophouse. You gotta get you some of that! read more

The server was really kind and the strip steak was massive and delicious. Only thing to say about the meal, there was a lot of butter served with the steak. I rubbed some of it on my steak, but wanted to leave the rest on the side... not thinking the plate was hot and would melt the butter. The steak was then extremely buttery, a little too much.. other than that, we enjoyed our meal! Might want to put the butter off of the plate when you order and add as needed! read more

We chose to eat at Jack's Chophouse to celebrate our 10-year wedding anniversary. It was our first time to dine here, and we could not have had a better experience! It was great to be greeted with a "Happy Anniversary!" by the hostess, who had obviously paid attention to the reservation notes. Our server was wonderful, and everything we ordered was amazing. We agreed that our steaks were some of the best we have ever had! The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and cozy--exactly what we were hoping for our special occasion. With the special touches, like a complimentary glass of champagne, to the delicious cheesecake dessert that was lit up beautifully, we were so glad we made the choice to try Jack's Chophouse that evening, and we will absolutely dine there again! read more

Waitress was unprofessional. Leaned on chair at our table while talking to us. Wanted our entire order. Brought us drinks, app and meal at the same time. Never even heard specials. Christmas decorations still up. My steak came Cut up in strips. Too expensive for a mediocre experience. read more

Excellent. I will admit I was thrown off about a bone in New York strip but read into it. Always learning and experiencing. The steak was medium rare and absolutely wonderful. The right amoun of black pepper to give it a good caramelized exterior. The garlic butter elevates the overall taste and just pairs well with steak. Job well done. Asparagus with Béarnaise just brought it all together. If you are a fan of calamari don't always go traditional. Try to go outside of the box and try different preparations such as the badabing spicy calamari. It was fried and very crispy with the right amount of heat. Amanda did a superior job as she mentioned the specials and was very accommodating and paid attention to our names making us feel like friends and family. The host were also excellent as they were involved in creating an overall fine dining experience. Definitely coming back to try other options. Oh...and the bread was top notch. However...eat it fresh and don't let it sit for later. read more

!!!BEWARE - THEY BRIBE FOR 5 STAR REVIEWS!!! !READ THE LOW REVIEWS! ***Before dessert, our waitress said "If you give us a 5 star review, preferably on Yelp, I can give you a free dessert." - WHAT!! NO! Just went here with my girlfriend last night. Meal was $240 after tip. The 16 oz. Ribeye was one of the worst steaks I've ever had in my life. The cut must have been from Aldi's Clearance or something. So chewy and just terrible. I was so sad for nearly $70 for the steak. The chicken was OK but bland, something you could get better at Olive Garden. The best thing was the kung pao bang bang calamari frankly, but that was just most sauce flavor. I was livid after expecting an excellent dinner and getting an attempted bribe for a 5 star review. Read the 5 star reviews. Many are short because they are BRIBED to get FREE DESSERT! They are therefore literally paying for their reviews! BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU - SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN. read more

Such a disappointment. Forced our group of 6 + baby to eat a fixed price menu. We thought it was a fine steak house, but it's actually a quasi Italian tourist trap. Food straight out of the freezers at Sysco. Steak that is mostly gristle and poorly prepared. Short drinks and outrageous tip and credit card charges make this a classic trap in a town with no fine dining. read more

Nice steak house. Packed on a Sunday night so louder than usual. They had us by the door but then moved us to better table when we reminded them of our anniversary. Had an excellent filet cooked just right. Calamari is delicious. Sides are great. Baked potato casserole and creamed spinach. It would be nice if they had a few TX wines on their menu being in TX wine country and all. thus 4 stars. and their wine list was WAY over priced, only had a glass not a bottle. The best wine was still in my car. They let you BYO wine but corkage fee is $80. HA!! Nice surprise dessert for our 10 year anniversary. read more

Reviews got me to try this place and writing this so others don't get duped. Atmosphere is 10/10 and it's very quant mafia themed. Service is 10/10 and bartenders were friendly and we never had to wait on service. Let's talk about the food- hence the reason you go to a steakhouse. Tried the appetizer sampler and happy hour from 4pm-6pm appetizers are half off. Lasagna on the platter was plain, close to the worst tasted by my palette. Stuffed mushrooms were delightful and temperature were served piping hot. Sausage was dry, casing was crunchy and hard to chew. Olives were nothing special. Overall on the platter, 2 thumbs down. Also ordered the ribeye rare and this was floating on a plate of melted butter and shaved garlic slices. Steak was flavorless, chewy and poor quality of meat. Ribeye wasn't marbleized but rather thick paintings of fat running through the meat. Other chain restaurants have better meat quality. For the price of this experience, we should have opted out for another restaurant with higher quality of meat and food. Happy hour is 4pm-6pm with 1/2 off apps and some other deals. For the month of June, mention Paul Castellano for 20% off. read more
