While visiting the Hocking Hills my wife and I decided to try Jack’s Steakhouse. It is unlike any Steakhouse I have ever been to. It was more of a bar than a Steakhouse. We were greeted by the wait staff and took our seat. We opted for the pepper jack cheese balls. Those were delicious. I ordered the chicken tenders that came with 2 sides. I had the Mac and cheese and fries. On the menu it stated that they were seasoned. That was incorrect. This was the blandest food I can remember eating. My Mac and Cheese was ice cold. It was like it was scooped out of bowl in the refrigerator and served. The fries I had to put malt vinegar on them to invoke any kind of flavor. My wife got the chicken cheese steak and liked it. I am giving 3 stars because the service was good but outside of that it was a lot of false advertisements.

Don’t believe the bad reviews. This is phenomenal. Perfection. Small home town steakhouse. Perfect cook. Great sides. Reasonable price. I’d eat here everyday.
Wow!

It was very slow on the weekday that we went.
The food was not a good presentation or taste.
My wife’s chicken had batter, not seasoned well at all.
My sirloin steack salad with Jacks dressing was disappointing.
The dressing was good.
The steak salad didn’t look right.
It was too fatty to chew.
It might have been an offer night.
The place looks very comfortable to go to inside and outside.

We went to Jacks for lunch expecting a nice steakhouse. We pulled up and hoped the small place was one of those that doesn’t look great but has great food. We were wrong. The streak was 1/4inch at best ribeye. The seasoning was good on it. The fettuccine was bland, same with the Mac and cheese. They actually tasted the same. No flavor at all. The French fries were undercooked. The mozzarella sticks were good but just frozen and fried. Served with COLD marinara – nothing worse than hot mozzarella sticks and cold sauce!
The seats were duck taped all over. The bathroom dirty. The waitress was nice and attentive but there were only a few customers. It was overpriced for the portions and what you got.

If you’re someone who doesn’t typically listen to reviews (like I didn’t) you need to. I wanted this to be good but this was by far the worst food I have ever tried to eat. Think bland, rubbery, chewy, cheap cafeteria food- but with a $70 price tag for 2 adults who shared and 2 kids meals. Service was great, Clearance I think? Was our server and he was great. All my stars go to him. 0 for food.

I was so disappointed. Stay away! I went to Jack’s about 15 years ago and I remember it being sooooo good, especially the steaks! We planned a trip this past weekend to go ziplining on Sunday. This very easily can be a day trip from Columbus but I figured that if we went Saturday we could go to Jack’s for dinner! What a disappointment. The 6 oz ribeye was “weird”. I would swear it was another animal, not beef. It was a weird texture. Just typing this right now is making me gag. I tried to eat it because I had talked it up so much. I just couldn’t do it. I should have been suspicious knowing full well that a ribeye is a big steak and having it come as a 6 oz is nearly impossible unless it was a ribeye from another animal, certainly not a cow (gagging again). The salad was OK. The sweet and sour dressing was great. The lettuce was old. Only tomatoes on the salad. The mashed potatoes were instant for sure. The other steak we order was the bacon wrapped filet. Edible but not great. Definately was frozen. Our server was great. Poor girl probably had no idea how bad the food was that she was serving. What a waste of $60 plus an overnight stay. I have no idea how I wasn’t sick after eating rouge meat.

Nice little quiet place with great service, delicious food, and good vibes. Everything my boyfriend and I have gotten there we have really enjoyed!

Service & Atmosphere were great. There was one other gentleman in there besides us, but we chalked it up to being a Monday. The food needs a lot of work. My husband got the country friend steak, mashed potatoes with gravy and mac n cheese. His meal tasted ok. But nothing to brag about. I got the chicken tenders, French fries and mac n cheese. Mine was very very bland. Both of us thought the Mac n cheese was terrible. We won’t be returning customers and we’re overall dissatisfied with our meal.

Second time going here and not one of the better …things are dated with a dinner/bar type feel but nonetheless my food was sub-par my side salad was brownish and wilted the steak was under cooked asked for medium-well and was still bleeding before i even cut into it wings and fries were ok but over priced and all meat was priced by the pound. I really wanted to like this place but very disappointed

Have known about this place for quite a while, just never stopped. Labor day evening decided to give it a try. Arrived about 45 minutes before closing time. Was pleasantly greeted and seated.
Service was excellent, atmosphere was great, place seems clean and well kept. I ordered a ribeye with shrimp, rice, and cup of potato soup. My meal was very good, only issue was food was not as warm as I thought should be.
I will definitely give it another visit.
