My wife and I were seated at 6:45pm on a Sunday and it took over half an hour for a server to come to our table. We were the only non-white patrons inside and we saw three parties that came after getting promptly greeted with water and their complimentary pasta with pickles dish and their order taken. I was looking at the servers and smiling trying to get their attention but everyone was ignoring me. It was not a great look. The only non white folk to be ignored.
My wife and I’ve been to Spiro’s next door, Texas Roadhouse, Outback steakhouse several times but it’s only at J&R that we faced subtle racism.
Michelle, the only server that noticed us, was apologetic regarding our wait time but hurried us through our order so that she could take the order of the family that came 25 minutes after us. We only stayed because we had heard good things about the food here.
It’s the worst out of all the above mentioned steakhouses. Ordered the special 16 Oz prime steak medium rare but it was chewy as hell. The French onion soup and the chili were good but the main meals were a huge disappointment. There was live music which was good and the bathrooms were clean. Enough parking around the establishment.
The young staff here need diversity training. If you’re a PoC, you may want to avoid this place until management sees this review and responds appropriately with a clear course of action so that this sort of a behavior is never repeated at this establishment.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at J&R Steakhouse, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. This was my first visit to this particular location, and it did not disappoint. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made me feel right at home.
The food at J&R Steakhouse is consistently excellent, and this visit was no exception. Every dish was prepared to perfection, maintaining the high standards I have come to expect from J&R Steakhouse. The steak was cooked exactly to my liking, tender and flavorful, and the sides were equally impressive. It was clear that great care was taken in selecting and preparing each ingredient, resulting in a truly memorable meal.
The service was another highlight of my visit. Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that we had everything we needed throughout our meal. They were knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent recommendations, enhancing our dining experience even further. It’s always a pleasure to receive such outstanding service, and it certainly added to the overall enjoyment of our evening.
However, I did notice one minor drawback during my visit: the internet connectivity was not very good. While this didn’t detract from the dining experience itself, it’s worth mentioning for those who might need to stay connected during their visit.
Despite this small issue, I would love to visit this J&R Steakhouse location again in the future. The combination of delicious food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere makes it a perfect choice for a memorable dining experience. I look forward to my next visit and am excited to explore more of the menu offerings. If you haven’t had the chance to dine here yet, I highly recommend giving it a try. You won’t be disappointed!

Service was quick and easy. Our waitress was very attentive. Food came out hot and delicious. We did the Monday special for the ribeye plus a side dish, the special included one app (we ordered the baked clam) but it’s a choice of that, wings, mozz sticks or something else. Also includes salad or soup and dessert! The baked clam was really delicious! And the ribeye was cooked perfectly for us (medium rare)
Went back Friday and had Erica again! She was awesome! Very friendly and gave me suggestion. The pumpkin beer is back!!!!

I have been to all the J&R steakhouses on the island and the one in Islip always has the best food it’s always hot , fresh seasoned and cooked perfectly. The food at this Rocky point location tasted old. It wasn’t hot. It didn’t taste fresh. It wasn’t spoiled, but it wasn’t good and I went for their Oktoberfest menu. One of things that I got was the seafood bisque. I sent it back. It was terrible no flavor, no seafood in it except for a couple of pieces of fake crab. The restaurant was dirty. It smelled like bar from the night before the tables were sticky and tacky. I will not go back and had I not already been to the one in Islip I probably would never visit another one of these establishments again. The Medford location is five minutes down the road from our house and we don’t go there either because the food is the same as the Rocky point location.

This was our first time at a J&R’s. We had seen one closer to riverhead and on searching for the menu, realized that there is one 5 minutes from us in Rocky Point, so we decided to go here. My wife was treating me for my birthday and I have to say that it was a great experience and meal. My baked clams were delicious, my french onion soup was so satisfying and my rare prime rib with a side of mushrooms was delicious. My wife had the loaded potato soup, the chicken pot pie and an eggnog martini. We were delighted, stuffed and so happy to find a great steakhouse this close to home. We will definitely be back and I’m definitely bringing more people with me next time!

This place has been here for quite some time now! I used to live out in Rocky Point 25 years ago, and we used to go here all the time! They used to have a contest where if you ate a huge steak (plus the potato and vegetable), you get to eat for free! Lol. They don’t do that at this location anymore, but we weren’t up for a contest anyway! The prime rib was amazing, the filet was excellent, the NY strip was delicious, and all were ordered marinated J & R style! The creamed spinach was also good, and the Pecan pie came home for dessert! Definitely recommend when/if you’re out that way!

Order filled mignon with braccoli and lobster bisque soup. We sat by the window to look out at the golf course. The waitress was very friendly and the food came timely!

This place is definitely worth a visit, the staff is very attentive and friendly. The food is very flavorful, they also give nice sized portions. I have never been disappointed, over the years I have been to all of their locations a bunch of times and I can honestly say that I have never been disappointed. I do like the Rocky point location the best though.

⚡ Lisa – I dined their once. It was really nice. That was before the pandemic. I have to check them out again. They seem very busy, everytime I drive by. They have a big dining area. In the waiters and waitresses are so nice.
