    Chicken
    Jack L.

    Jackson grill is exactly what I was hoping for! But I will you say you pay for the experience. It's a hole in the wall supper club, with great service and better steaks! One of the best steaks I've had in MKE, but like I said, somewhat pricey. But they have a lot of wagyu options so it makes sense. If you want a classic supper club experience close to downtown, I'd highly recommend!

    Dinner tonight at The Jackson Grill in Milwaukee was fabulous! Started with the shrimp cocktail, salads, one filet and one Australian Wagu filet. Both super tender and delicious! Sides were chili broccoli and creamed corn! Fantastic service too! A true hidden gem!

    Reasonable quality California vino

    Went here on a Saturday night after seeing the place next to Gerber Collision. Old school vibes. Great Braves/Brewers memorabilia. Started at the bar and had a cocktail. Moved seamlessly to the table and had the shrimp appetizer followed by solid red meat. Wine list is not pretentious with multiple good California options. Meredith was attentive and answered our endless stream of questions. Crème brûlée was as I like it - light, straightforward and unembellished by other stuff. Overall - menu has limited options but everything we had was done well. Certainly plan to return.

    Had a lovely dinner at The Jackson Grill last night. The amazing vibe in that place! Love sitting at the bar to eat always because Kevin, the bartender is a show too. We had dirty martinis and some cosmos. Appetizer was a shrimp scampi. For entrees, we ordered: Tournedos Three peppercorn crusted Medallions a la portabella e crème bordelaise Filet with portabella Seared scallops with risotto Chef knocked it out of the park with all of these proteins. Love that nothing has changed! The salads we had were very fresh with housemade dressings. This supper club has such old school energy that I'm in love with. Food and cocktails are perfect.

    a true supper club experience - and I think this will really give friends who come to visit the *wisconsin* experience. the interior is unassuming, you absolutely aren't coming here for the vibes. minimal aesthetics. but the food was surprisingly good - which I expected given that I came here a week after my friend recommended it to me. I wanted to try the wagyu which was a special and it was very yummy. Got to be too chewy and full of fat towards the end though. And the crab bisque soup was soooo warm and delicious, perfect for dipping the bread in! One of my faves for sure. I think the garlic noodles had a lot of potential if they didn't use farfalle. a twirly noodle was what I had in mind instead. The airline chicken was such a miss. They had run out of 3 things on the menu (that I had been eyeing up before) so I was initially super disappointed. And shockingly they even had a plant based meat on the menu too. The vanilla bean creme brulee was a must have, perfect way to end dinner

    Amazing choices.  Elegant made easy. Love this!

    Diamond in the rough. Service personable, knowledgeable and professional! The ambience is date approved. The service is great. They greet you and assist you soon after entering the door. The drinks are made perfectly. I don't get martinis or sidecars anywhere but I do here! The bar and seating area are beautiful. The food is just amazing I have not yet had anything I didn't like. Steak dishes are grilled to perfection. I would suggest the mushrooms and butter. Scallops perfect not sandy and tender. The pork chops are a good portion and tender with garlic confit a la portabella! The airline chicken is so much more but love the name. Brown butter, golden, tender, juicy with garlic mash and asparagus! Yes! I'm looking forward to the medallions with creme bordelaise! Stay tuned. I'll let you know. Need I say dessert? I've had the lava cake and creme brule. Both are great. I'll try bananas foster next! Recommended!

    1000% can't wait to go back. This cute little restaurant on the south side had a supper club like menu and everything was delicious. The Cajun bbq shrimp may have been the best thing I have ever had. The sea bass was a perfect portion and cooked to perfection! And our server Mal was the best.

    Salmon with crab hash and asparagus!

    I was looking for a good steak and we found this listing with great rating but minimal number as they had just reopened under new management. Nice little supper club nestled in a neighborhood. Friendly bartenders and great house cocktails. Try black manhattan! I had the grilled 16 oz ribeye, medium. It was thick, slightly blackened and delicious, with crab bisque and broccoli with pepper sauce all were awesome. My wife had salmon with crab hash and Asparagus, it was also awesome. Our servers were friendly and attentive. I love ribeye and this was of the best I've had. Definitely going back!

    Made a reservation for 2 on NYE- 8:30pm Arrived solo and decided to just order at the bar ~ accommodated politely. Very cozy establishment, loved the original blonde intact back bar, gave a historic time stamp of its Era... however the lighting choices, a big box 1980s flair, with continuity of a dry brown paint throughout, was drab. Not complementary of the character this establishment still holds after decades. 38capacity and 3floor staff, type 'quaint' and welcoming. My old fashioned cocktail made by Kevin was perfect~ the warm bread, salad and wine pairing, perfect start. I ordered a medium rare steak with scallops and garlic mash. The scallops were buttery perfect texture and delicious, steak nearly WELL done, and a firm portabella, bit too much for my taste.. albeit I was taken care of right away and it was agreed~ steak overcooked. I went outside came back in to a fresh, hot, perfectly delicious med rare steak I enjoyed greatly. I learned the owners are the kitchen staff, it was the end of night and it's so easy for select meats to cook quickly. Round two was perfect, I will be back with friends and will do my 'interior designers' best, not to salivate over the brown blank canvas this place presents itself to my brain. (What I do to these walls, could be delicious too)

    Bar

    Definitely a quirky location. Love the supper club atmosphere. Didn't sit at bar as I was with me daughter but cool. The were great answering questions via messenger. Menu is not huge but we knew that. Filet was spot on and rare lol Iike ordered. My daughter lives it too. Service was great. Will definitely be back.

    Best place in downtown Crystal Lake for hipster Mexican food. Cantina 52 isn't a big place so it's…read morenot good for big groups. It has a bar area and a few tables. For certain the name implies it's like a hangout. There's a pretty casual atmosphere along with a few TVs for watching games or something. Amazing it wasn't too busy. It's really not a big place so there's not much room. There were a few seats at the bar so we sat there. Pretty impressive menu. So many choices for vegans and vegetarians. It's about $6 for the cocktail specials, so check the menu board. The best of these is the Long Island 52, which is a pretty standard one. It's about $6 for tacos, which are the small street style you can eat in a few bites. We got some of the Herbivore Tacos. Has black beans, roasted corn, and vegan versions of chorizo and sriracha aioli. It's about $12 for nachos. These are loaded with tons of toppings. For sure it's got a lot to choose from. It's located on Brink Street close to the Metra station. There's lots of things for vegans and vegetarians.

    Service was outstanding, extremely friendly and attentive. I hadn't been to their new building yet…read moreand was pleasantly surprised to see some really cool retro pictures, hand stitched artwork, and classic wallpaper. It's a fun space and felt very welcoming. The chilaquiles were fantastic! They make their own hot sauce in house that was a good addition to the dish, along with chorizo. Highly recommend this one. It was also a huge portion and ended up feeding me for two meals. Make sure you get here early to avoid the extremely long lines; we planned to be there right when it opened and by the time we left, there were already people having to wait outside. Worth the wait though!

    Huh. I've heard good things about Honeypie and I'm confused now. I tried to get brunch with my…read morefamily at another area spot, but the wait was too long so we opted to try Honeypie. We reviewed the menu while we waiting for seating, which took far longer than we wanted, more than 30 minutes standing in the cramped lobby area with a bunch of other people. Hats off to their host for being friendly and even a little entertaining and I like that you can order coffee at the register area and drink it while you wait. Too bad you can't get a cocktail out there. The menu sounded great and we were ravenous so we were excited to order. By the time we were seated we were limited to about 40 minutes to get to a ticketed event, all in. I told that to our waitress so she could pace the meal accordingly. While I understand that she can't control the kitchen time, I don't think she showed any expediency or attention to my statement. Spoiler alert - we were late. Two of us ordered the biscuits to start with jam. I was happy to try them and they were good. My coffee based martini hit the spot, but it was spilled a little when it hit the table and our server didn't say anything or wipe it off. My mom liked her bloody Mary and it was decent. When our food came I was immediately disappointed by the appearance. My chilaquiles looked like they had sat under a heat lamp for ages - the egg was dried and over firm. My chips were spicy, but 100% soggy and nasty. My black beans were - meh. Not a good dish overall. My mom actually didn't find fault with her Honeypie Benedict. I tried the hollandaise and it was fine. My cousin did not enjoy her Hopple Popple skillet at all. (Potatoes, bacon, caramelized onion, mushroom, bell pepper, cheddar, two scrambled farm eggs) She found it difficult to find any egg, as it was apparently shrunk into tiny bits. The potatoes were like fries and it was overall bland. Not a winner. We certainly won't be back. The dishes don't live up to the interesting descriptions of them and the hype seems to be from an earlier, better time for this restaurant.
