Based on order for delivery. Steak was delicious. Family style portions (mashed, creamed spinach) good for two, not four, chocolate mousse dessert was packed on top of hot entree so arrived in liquid form which is a rookie mistake and I'd expect better. Not an experience I'd repeat. Rating solely on flavor of steak. read more

Uncle Jack's Steakhouse - Prime Filet Mignon - Steakhouses Near Me - Bayside, New York

From beginning to end it was an overall fantastic night. I wish I would've gotten our servers name because he was wonderful. Started off with a glass of Pinot Grigio and my boyfriend ordered a coke. For appetizers I had ordered the Caesar salad to share and he had ordered the jumbo shrimp. Though the Caesar salad tasted rather bland for my taste my boyfriend raved about the shrimp so I was glad that we didn't start off disappointed. Onto the main courses. I had ordered the 8 oz petite Filet Mignon medium with the garlic and herb butter as a topping. Sides: sautéed broccoli and steak fries. The steak cut like butter and had a lovely crisp around the edges that had a fantastic punch of flavor as you bit into it. All of the natural juices on the side was perfect to lightly coat your steak in as you cut yourself a piece. The broccoli had a seasoning that didn't overwhelm your palette but felt like it made the meal lighter on your stomach. The steak fries were tasty and had a nice crunch on the outside skin. I wasn't aware how large they were! Nonetheless most steak fries just have a usual potato taste because of the thickness of them, not with these! The skin had provided a nice flavor that allowed the entire fry to taste great. My boyfriend ordered the 8oz New York strip medium as well. His sides were garlic mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. He loves his steak and found it tender and juicy. Effortless cutting into it and the garlic mashed potatoes accented it rather well. When we were first seated I absentmindedly told my boyfriend to sit where he wants because it's his birthday and I supposed the hostess took note of that. Before we were about to order dessert I was going to sneak off and tell our waiter that it was his birthday. Before we know it he comes around with a dessert and candle singing happy birthday! This completely surprised both my boyfriend and I. It was so great of him to put in the effort and surprise us. Dessert was the chocolate soufflé cake that was so rich and melted in your mouth. Also the creme brûlée tasted light and creamy and had a wonderful crunch as you broke into the top layer. All in all it was an amazing night that went smoothly and fun. A big thank you to our waiter for making our night as wonderful as it was! read more

Uncle Jack's Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Bayside, New York

Came here yesterday with my boyfriend. We ordered the portobello salad, creamed corn and spinach, porterhouse for 2 and paired it with Malbec. The food took a while to come out, even if it was just a salad. Or maybe we were just really hungry. The salad was $12 but they helped us divided into 2 portions. The portobello was tender and flavorful. It was delicious. Finally our steak came cooked medium rare but you can choose how you like your steak to be. The creamed corn and spinach was amazing. I love how the corn has Canadian bacon and bell peppers the the spinach was really good. Both sides were served in a small cast iron plate. The steak was perfect and grilled to perfection. Not overly done and the natural juice that came out of the steak was delicious. You scoop some of the juice sauce over your steak or eat without it, the steak is plenty of flavors. I really like the burnt ends, it makes the steak extra tasty. Also not to mention celebrities kim Kardashian and Halle Berry's signature was on the wall. read more

I was told this was a great place to eat. So i booked a reservation for me and my wife for our anniversary with high hopes on a great meal. We we got instead was bad service and food was almost crispy burnt on the outside. Now although im capable of eating this my wife will not eat any meat charred or burnt. The over all experience was not worth the $250 i spent on the meal. Needless to say i am very lucky to have an understanding wife that knew i put the effort into planning this while there was no effort of the serving attendant to serve us (he seamed pre occupied ) Other people may have other experiences but this was mine. I do not plan on booking another reservation anytime soon. read more

Great restaurant. Excellent steak. Always get the tomahalk and the staff are always very pleasant. Unfortunaly I recently noticed they added to their menu kobe beef. Unfortunaly it is not kobe beef. Only 8 restaurants in the US sell it and only 1 on the east coast. Don't be fooled to pay the price for wagu. Kobe is 28 per ounce at 212 steakhouse the only certified steakhouse to sell kobe in NY. Other than that which I find shameful, the retsurant is great and would recommend to all. read more

Why can't anyone answer the phone? This is a very basics thing to ask for in a restaurant. Wanted to speak to someone about arranging a birthday dinner for my cousin. He's turning 75 and he loves Uncle Jacks restaurant. When I call all I get is corporate and the operator never answers. read more

I came for a work dinner and I loved it. They do have a wine list, I saw they have Wednesday whiskey, Thursday is like a lady's night. So they have couple of happy hour options per day. I had the filet minion midium well and it was delicious, for a side it was matched potatoes with a special cheesy sauteed spinach that I absolutely loved. Place is very nice and is a great location for locals. read more

Friendly hostesses greeted me. I didn't have a reservation and she worked us in. I've eaten here a few times. We shared a crab cake and mesclun salad to start and both were pretty good. Martinis were nice as was the bottle of Chardonnay. The waiter offered a Wagyu ribeye and lobster tail for two as a special and we went for it. The steak was delicious and cooked perfectly medium rare with a nice char on the outside. The lobster tail looked great but it was pretty tough. I don't know if it was over cooked or it was the meat itself. Thus four stars instead of five. Decent steak house in Bayside Queens. read more

This place truly deserve the best rating! I've been dining at Uncle Jacks for years now and this review is well overdue. Lets get to it... The reservation process is very easy and would definitely recommend making one before you go especially on the weekends when the place is usually busy. They are very accommodating based on your needs. The Bay-side location is very intimate and the staff is extremely friendly to the point where they feel like close friends, they are very knowledgeable and helpful. I usually go in a group and we tend to get loud, so we usually sit downstairs where we can get as loud as we want without disturbing the other diners. The service is always beyond exceptional, the staff will always make us feel at home and the shots keep pouring. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and friendly staff. The food is beyond delicious, the steaks almost literally melt in your mouth, the Angus meatball are perfect, the oysters are fresh, and the mac and cheese is amazing. Be warned it's a bit pricey but worth every penny. Our bill for 6 people appetizer, entree, desert and drinks came around $1200 not including tips, but like i said worth every penny. Will be back again and again. read more

My husband and I have frequented the best steak houses in NYC as well as many other major cities. We can honestly say that Uncle jacks is best of the best. Their waitstaff and service is impeccable.

Food was awesome. The service was super. I recommend everyone to go here at least once in your life.

I know we are going for steak but our broccoli was served with the whole entire stem and the collie flower was burned. my glass cup was really dirty. Steak was like my palm size and cost $50, the taste was good but wasn't that amazing. It was disappointed for what it was cost. The whole bill was around $600. Not worth it the money. read more

We really had a great time at Uncle Jack's last night. I cannot say enough about this place. It's such a friendly place where we are always made to feel at home. We arrived early for our reservation (originally a party of 4 that was reduced by one). My lady and I took seats at the bar as we waited for our other friend to arrive. We were warmly greeted by the bartender and quickly served a glass of wine. The other people at the bar were very friendly. The two gentleman sitting next to us introduced themselves and we chatted a little while until our friend arrived. The waiter was wonderful and recited all of the specials that included several of my favorites. We ordered the Charred Spanish Octopus and the Thick Cut Maple Glazed Bacon for appetizers which were outstanding. As a main course we asked the waiter if he could accommodate us with a porterhouse for three at different temperatures. Our friend likes his meat well done while we love it medium-rare. Of course this was not a problem. They brought out the steak cooked to perfection, medium rare, and allowed our friend to select his portion to be cooked a little more until well done. For sides we had the creamed spinach and sautéed asparagus. They were both very flavorful but the cream spinach was my favorite. Unfortunately, it was served in a very small cup meant for a single serving, which we all wanted. It was not meant to be split by three people. Next time we will order more sides. For dessert we had the ice cream, crème brûlée, and cheesecake. They were all top notch and absolutely delicious. The waiter was very helpful and attentive to us, continuing to offer to refill our drinks and water. He was especially helpful when our friend accidentally spilled red wine on his own shirt. Our friend had an important meeting to attend after dinner so he was upset that he stained his shirt. Thankfully, our waiter saved the day by immediately spraying something on my friend's shirt called "Wine Away" which worked like magic. I have to give it to Uncle Jack's. Everyone there worked together like a well-oiled machine providing us with a wonderful dining experience. Thank you for all that you do. read more

Was expecting better but my mistake- you never dine at a steakhouse on a SUNDAY. The main chef is usually off. Our dry aged porterhouse was burned. We ordered medium. Not well done. Sides were good. Thank you, next. read more

It is not the best steak I ever had but definitely a solid four star. One of my favorite steakhouse in town.

We've been here twice; both times absolutely phenomenal. Any low reviews you see are from tightwads who would just as soon order a NY Strip from Gustav's Diner as a real NYC steakhouse. This restaurant is for lovers of exquisite food and service. Decor is old-school New York steakhouse. It's a pleasure to take in the scenery -- for any true New Yorker, it's a comfortable, familiar setting. There's space between the tables so you're not eating on top of other diners. Waitstaff is nearly perfect. Busboys and servers are efficient and mostly unobtrusive. Waiters are old-school NYC waiters, almost a dying breed: slightly older gentleman, intense NYC accent, strong but friendly NYC personality, and a wry sense of humor. Competent. Both times our waiter took the order without writing it down and got everything correct. Nice! Only negative comment: please be more mindful of not interrupting table conversation. That's beneath the quality the of Uncle Jack's Steakhouse experience. The manager is perfect. We arrived at an awkward time between lunch and dinner (1st visit). We wanted to order from the lunch menu even though the kitchen had stopped serving lunch. The manager snapped his fingers and made it happen without us even asking. He saw the need and made it happen. A true professional. On our second visit he gave my daughter ice cream, gratis. He's obviously a proud Dad who loves his kids because only Dads think of this kind of thing. I won't lie, the prices are steep (charging for bread is a misstep, IMHO, that will anger some people) but that's the price for exquisite food and service. If the price is bothersome, you should be going to Gustavo's Diner. I think the prices are commensurate with NYC steakhouse. In fact, more than fair -- food quality and prices are on-par with Peter Lugers, but the service at Uncle Jack's is MUCH better, and Uncle Jack's accepts credit cards! Baked Clams: A- Nice and garlicky. Lots of sauce with a half lemon in cheesecloth to catch pits (nice touch!). Breadcrumbs are like a garlicky bread pudding. The only better baked clams are my mom's because she uses bacon and even MORE garlic! We were given 9 or 10 clams. I wish they were a bit larger. Skirt Steak: A+ It's hard to make a bad skirt steak: it's one of those cuts of meat which is naturally soft and almost cooks itself. That said, this was still one of the best skirt steaks we've ever had. In fact, it was cooked so perfectly that we ordered a second dish to take home with us! Juicy, tender, and beefy without being too fatty or oily. It was a perfectly cooked steak. Hamburgers: A+ Perfect charbroil on the outside, medium rare on the inside: Perfect! The bacon is thick slab smoked bacon, the cheese is beautifully sharp cheddar. A perfect American hamburger. Prime Rib Chop ("Fred Flintstone"): B Slightly underwhelming. I ordered medium rare and it came mostly medium. The very center of the cut was medium rare, but the rest was dry, indicating that the meat was cooked at too high of a temperature. They need to cook the chop at a lower temperature to allow the entire chop to cook more evenly. However, there was enough au jus, the cut was beautiful, and the outside was nicely grill charred (perhaps a bit too much charring, but that is a subjective point.) Boneless NY Strip: A+ NY Strip ("boneless" means you don't get the T-Bone with it) is a beefy, tender cut of meat. When cut against the grain, it almost melts in your mouth with a strong USA beefy flavor that you can't get anywhere else in the world. This is a winner. Perfectly grill-charred. Insanely soft. Obviously an expensive cut of meat, meaning it was aged for several weeks before being sold. This is why you order steak from a place like Uncle Jack's rather than a diner. If you want a perfect NY Strip this is it. You can't do better. Kurobuta Pork Chop: A Anyone who speaks Japanese will recognize "kurobuta" to be 黒豚, which means black pig. The meat isn't black, of course.I'm guessing this refers to a Japanese breed of pig. You get two very thick, nicely charred pork chops, soft, fatty, and succulent, as Japanese meats tend to be. Wagyu Kobe Meatballs: B As of July 2016, only one restaurant in NYC serves real kobe beef, and it's not Uncle Jack's. Any other NYC menu that says "kobe", including this one, is a lie. I lived in Japan for a year, and know kobe beef. This is NOT kobe beef! In fact, using real kobe beef for meatballs would be a sin: kobe is known for marbling -- you would grill kobe beef as a steak, not grind it up for a meatball! Meatballs are still good, even though they're not real kobe beef. Creamed Spinach: B- Too much nutmeg. I like my creamed spinach chopped finer. Mashed Potatoes: A Nearly perfect. They obviously use some kind of cream here. It would be an A+ if the potato skin was left on (I really like the skin for rustic mashed potatoes). Consistency is *perfect* in my opinion. read more

Ok seriously folks...why go here when you have Peter Luger's a couple of miles down? Ok fine if you can't get in there then there are 3-4 other much better steak house options just a few blocks from Luger's than this over priced wanna be "upscale" moo joint. I've been here 4 times because someone else was picking up the tab, be it someone's birthday or some other craptastic celebration and have always been underwhelmed with anything I've ordered. read more

Steakhouse. Very good overall but after having been to this location and the one in Manhattan, I have to say the 56th street location was better overall. This location has been here a long time - the building is long and narrow - there is a downstairs dining area as well. There really didn't seem to be that many tables in the place but I also didn't get out there and start counting chairs or anything. The bar was nice- a perfect steakhouse bar- dark wood, good bartenders and a lively crowd. The food was very good- but again, the food at the 56th street location was just better- and I had almost the same exact things as I ordered previously. Don't get me wrong, it was very good, just not as good as the Manhattan one. Overall a fine place. Parking on street or muni-lots. read more

Great food and ambiance. Service was fantastic, we had two events at this place and we were not disappointed. Oh, and plenty of parking.

I really wanted to give this place 2 stars but they did one thing right that I will explain at the end of the review. Decor is old school steakhouse. Not lively, or vibrant. The service was mediocre. I found our waiter to be slow and not great at making recommendations. I was disappointed with the kobe meatballs. Presentation was lacking but the worst part is that it was dry! I did think the bacon was phenomenal, as was the Fred Flinstone T-bone steak, and rack of lamb. Everything else we tried (kobe meatballs, tuna tartare, caesar salad, mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus) was sub par to decent, with the meatballs being the worst. The tartare was made from good fish but it was not mixed with traditional accompaniments. It was more like sashimi with some sauce on the plate. The 3rd star is that they brought out a candle in dessert for my dad's birthday. This was indicated in my opentable reservation and I didn't remind them thinking they probably were't the best at paying attention but they pulled through! read more

The service was 5 star but the food was TRASHdo not get the 5 Mac & Cheese, it tasted like it came from the box and they didn't stir in the powder completelythe potato was burnt, so were the sautéed onions. The onions tasted like they burnt them in the oil the steak was cooked in. Dino our server was amazing. They charge you extra $$$ to use a credit card NEVER will I go back. They only got 2 stars because of Dino, oh and the raisin appetizer bread. read more

Uncle Jack's Steakhouse - Steak - Steakhouses Near Me - Bayside, New York

Probably the best place in Queens to have a "three martini lunch". Being one of only a select few steak houses in NY that serves "Prime" meats, you can truly taste the difference. To start, I always order the lollipop lamb chops, seared perfectly with a delicious mustard rub. Then I would certainly recommend the porterhouse for two, cooked medium rare of course, with sides of asparagus, mashed potatoes and fried onions. Their wine selection is pretty expansive and very well paired to their menu. If you go for lunch, sit at the bar and have Jerry, the bartender serve you. He is an institution at this place and will not only give you great service and suggestions, but will also give you a great conversation if you are down for it. read more

I called to reserve and knew from then that it was going to be great. The host asked me the occasion to make it even more special. As soon as we got there they said "Happy Birthday". I ordered the filet mignon. My boyfriend ordered the NY strip. Both were cooked perfect; to our liking. We shared garlic mashed potatoes-A MUST-GET!!! We also shared asparagus, broccoli and a bottle of wine. Everything was delicious! The place felt cozy and everyone was very friendly- not too in your business. Even though the tables are pretty close together it still felt intimate but wish the lights were a little more dim. They brought out a complimentary dessert with a HUGE candle and sung beautifully lol. Great place to go have some steak in the area. Have heard mixed reviews but we enjoyed it all! read more

Excellent steak house in queens, New York. If you are looking for both quality in service and quality in flavor..this is the place to go to. I have gone to a few steakhouses but this one in particular Uncle Jacks held it's reputation very highly. The service alone was a giant plus, although my friend and I weren't dressed in the most proper attire they still treated us as though we were suited up from head to toe. I've been to 4 and even other 5 star restaurants and have not gotten the service that I got at Uncle Jacks. What a wonderful experience, the food was excellent. The steak well aged, well seasoned and the flavor and texture was un canning. I was fully satisfied and I hope to visit again. read more

The Bayside location is much more intimate than it's Manhattan siblings. The staff is lovely, knowledgeable and just the right amount of attentive. They also do a perfect job splitting plates that you are sharing without even asking. We had the idea of going very last minute and snagged a 5pm reservation; early I know, but I was kind of glad about it. At 5pm about 40% of the tables were occupied which meant the table directly next to us stayed empty until dessert which due to the close quarters was a good thing. The noise level was perfect. Around 6:45 people started to arrive filling up the dining room and bar which raised the noise level considerably. Not a bad thing, but we enjoyed the ability to talk during dinner without straining to hear ourselves. If you want a more intimate/romantic experience an early reservation is the way to go. We started off with the Lobster and Avocado salad, the perfect size for 2 to share. Loaded with chunks of lobster, avocado, tomatoes and mesclun lettuce all tossed in a lovely sherry mustard vinaigrette, It was quite tasty; although the lobster itself was a bit chewy with a faint amount of fishiness. On to the meat! It's hard for me to pass up a ribye and here they offer a Prime Cowboy version; you are delivered a large perfectly charred ribeye with a bone that is about a foot long; kind of impressive looking. It was delicious. A special of the night was a Hell Steak; a strip steak with a spicy cayenne rub. Again it was wonderful with the perfect balance of heat. The garlic mashed potatoes were decadent and creamy and the creamed spinach was a great version. The wine list has a nice variety, even those by the glass. They also serve a mean espresso. Dessert offers a Smore's jar - roasted marshmallows, along side charred marshmallow fluff atop a silky chocolate pot de creme atop a graham cracker crust. It was decadent and divine. They also offer a Sunday brunch which is a good deal; my favorite item was the House-made Ricotta with honey and almonds and walnut bread. I thought the short rib hash was just OK.. All in all dinner at Uncle Jacks is wonderful, but not cheap. Price-wise it is inline with other steakhouses so no surprise there. read more

Three stars... Not for the quality of the food; its superb. But the quantity of the food. The waste this place must generate has got to be huge... People overeat or, if they take there leftovers home; how many actually eat it? A classic example of, cut the portion, cut the price. Me? I pass the cost on .... But if you're impressed by high price and excessive cost? This place is for you. read more

Had dinner at this location again last night. While a small restaurant, it has amazing service and equally on par food. I recommend the pork chop dish. It was juicy and flavorful and the sweet potatoes complimented it. Since it was my birthday, the restaurant treated me to a chocolate lava cake. The cake was very strong so if you are a chocolate lover this is the dessert for you. The restaurant makes the whip cream every two days. It was not too sweet and tasted refreshing. The creme brûlée was delicious. It's very sweet and offset by the blueberries. It became my favorite dessert in this restaurant. Finally the service was excellent. Dino, our waiter, was always attentive and friendly. We never had to ask him for water, he automatically filled it and took care of any other requests we had in an expedited manner. read more

Do not order 100 day aged long bone rib steak there. It's not worth $200 for sure. The meat was brought cold, half of it was not chewable and it was tastless. The dinner turned out to be a complete disapointment considering that that stake was specifically one of the dinner specials. read more
