The menu is good – very classic steakhouse. The homemade salad dressings are great – but the edge goes to Thousand Island! NY Steak was seasoned impeccably and served well. However, inexplicably the baked potato was not thoroughly cooked, and neither were the French fries with the fried chicken. The seasoning for the fried chicken was AWOL. Using lots of salt and pepper with the table shakers weren’t enough to salvage it. Dark meat was cooked well, but wow was the white meat cooked to death and dry as the Mojave. Staff was pleasant and attentive. Probably wouldn’t return but it does have a classic Redding vibe from the 1930’s: was pretty classic.

Stopped by on Saturday night around 9pm and there were a couple of tables left. Ordered the top sirloin rare which came out perfectly. The fries were delicious as well and the martini was great. Would love to return.

The vibe, the aura of this place, it’s all incredible. The steak was out of this world. We stumbled upon jacks from out of town on a roadtrip and couldn’t stop thinking about it after.
This should be a pilgrimage for men who like steak

Haven’t been here in almost 30 years, but if it’s anything like I remember, it’s a must-visit steakhouse if you want the best pan-fried steak you’ve ever eaten! The atmosphere is amazing, too. I live near Seattle, but during my childhood, my family would spend a week at Shasta Lake, and we ALWAYS went into Redding just for Jack’s Grill!

This was ‘Old School’ at its’ finest! What a great place and EVERYTHING was perfect. Too many places try to be chic and end up having no soul. This place has been around for almost 90 years and it wears it well. We got there at 4:30 for an early dinner and by 5:30 the crowds started to arrive. We both had the ribeye steak and they were cooked perfectly. The baked potato was very good and the salad was a killer!

I have always wanted to eat here for years because of the reputation for amazing food especially the steaks. I finally did recently and they didn’t disappoint! Thank you for the amazing experience!

3 generations of my family have been eating at Jacks. Cocktails are mixed well and it’s the only place to get a steak in Redding in my opinion. It’s usually an older normal crowd which I like personally. Great bartender, service, food and small delicious menu. What else could you ask for.

Still the Best Steak in the World – 40 Years Later at Jack’s
In 1988, fresh out of training and suited up for my very first day on the job, I found myself sweating through a worsted wool suit in Redding, California—on what turned out to be one of the hottest days on record at a sweltering 118 degrees. A young African American kid from the inner city of Flint, Michigan, I felt completely out of place. My boss gave me one piece of advice before I called it a night: “Promise me you’ll grab a steak at Jack’s.”
So I did.
I walked into a packed Jack’s Grill, and the first thing I saw behind the bar wasn’t a wine list or a maître d’—it was bull riding on TV. Bull riding! I nearly turned right around. But a promise is a promise.
The host told me the wait would be 45 minutes to an hour—a perfect excuse to retreat to the comfort of my hotel and order room service. But something made me stay. When my name was called, I discovered Jack’s had a policy I’d never heard of before: if you were a party of one or two, they seated you with other solo diners to fill a table. Yet again, I almost bailed. But everyone had been surprisingly friendly, so I stuck it out.
And thank God I did.
That night I ordered the filet mignon—and it wasn’t just good, it was life-changing. Perfectly cooked, seasoned with something magical, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. It was hands down the best steak I’d ever had. That night marked the beginning of a love affair. For over a decade, every time work took me to Redding, Jack’s was my non-negotiable dinner stop. And when I no longer traveled there for work? I’d still occasionally make the 2-hour drive from Sacramento just for that steak.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of dining at some of the most renowned steakhouses in the world: New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle, Miami, Hong Kong, Tokyo (even Kobe), Montreal, Vancouver, Rome, Paris, Saint-Tropez, you name it. The only place that even came close was a little gem in Rome’s Jewish Ghetto—but even that couldn’t quite top Jack’s.
Fast forward nearly 40 years later. I took my father to the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Oregon, and mid-track meet, a wild idea hit me: “If we head out right after this ends, we can make it to Jack’s before they close at 10 PM.” Five hours later, we pulled into Redding.
Jack’s looked almost exactly the same. And the steak? Still flawless. Still the best I’ve had anywhere on the planet.
Funny thing is—I can’t recall what happened on that first day of my now long and successful career. But I remember every single detail about that first steak at Jack’s.
So here’s my advice: if you’re ever within 100 miles of Redding and love a great steak, don’t miss Jack’s. Trust me, it’s not just a meal—it’s a memory waiting to happen.
Jack’s isn’t just the best steakhouse in Redding—it’s the best steakhouse in the world.

We’ve been coming to Jack’s for a couple decades, and the place hasn’t changed. Wish there was covered outdoor dining for winter months, it’s just so cramped in there it’s like you’re almost walking on top of people. If you have a big group like over 9 then you won’t be at the same table. Steak was cooked great but for filet seemed a bit fatty, with bigger fat veins going through it. The drinks are always on point and love the bar area.
