First time to do Tico’s and didn’t believe it was at it best the night I was there. Had a very friendly hospitality host whom stay on top of our table of four and check on us frequently plus kept our adult beverages full. The steak was okay but for the price felt it should have been more of a quality cuts, not as tender it should’ve been. Seems the eating area was kinda on the dark side with lighting which make an appearance looks shady looking like. Will try again soon to determine if it was a bad night or what.

Medium rare ribeye and Caesar salad are unmatched! Tico’s is our favorite place for date night! The staff are always friendly and the restaurant is always clean. Potatoes Au Gratin were good but chunks of potato instead of slices (interesting surprise)

Got seated @6:30 on a Saturday night In the back corner by the beautiful fireplace. We sat there for about 10 minutes with no one coming to speak with us. I had to ask the hostess and manager for a server to come to our table. We ordered our food. ($100 porterhouse & $48 “small” filet, 2 potato au gratins, house salad &garlic bread app) The quality of steak is definitely great but it just lacked the seasoning. My husband said Longhorn’s steak has better seasoning. His potatoes were over cooked. It took the waitress way to long to do anything. 2/10

I had been meaning to try Tico’s for months because it came highly recommended, but my experience was largely disappointing. I’ll start with the positives: the staff is friendly and attentive. Our waitress, Lo, was excellent and promptly took our orders.
Unfortunately, the food was overpriced and underwhelming. The garlic bread was overly salty, and the asparagus was tough and stringy. However, the dealbreaker was the large filet. I noticed a peculiar odor when it arrived, but I gave it the benefit of the doubt. Immediately after cutting into it and taking a bite, it tasted completely spoiled, and I had to spit it out.
The manager did remove the steak from my bill, which I appreciated, but I am baffled by the lack of quality control that allowed spoiled meat to leave the kitchen. Even my friend, whose steak wasn’t rancid, felt the flavors were mediocre at best. For these prices, the safety, seasoning, and presentation should be much better. I cannot recommend this place—go to Char instead.

My wife and I recently visited Tico’s for a special date night. This was our second time dining there — our first visit was with a larger group, so we didn’t really get a fair feel for the restaurant.
This time, we were pleasantly surprised. The food and service were both very good. We each ordered a filet, cooked perfectly to our preferred temperatures and lightly seasoned, but flavorful. The sides were rich and well presented, adding nicely to the meal.
Tico’s has a relaxed, inviting atmosphere that works well for either a date night or dinner with another couple. The décor, especially the interesting wall photos, adds to the charm.
While I felt the prices were slightly on the high side for what we received, overall, Tico’s is a solid choice for a quality meal and good company.

No greeting from hostess upon entering establishment. Had to ask waitress for a refill and a bread basket. The au grain creamed spinach was delicious. I had a ribeye steak that was cooked perfectly however it lacked seasoning. I was so disappointed that my steak had absolutely no seasoning other than being cooked in butter. Y’all should link up with Trotter’s Market for their steak seasoning.

Very disappointed. The service was fitful, not very attentive. Had to attract the attention of the waitress to get anything.
The bartender had no idea how to make an old fashioned, but after the first one was sent back, it was mostly simple syrup, they were somewhat better, but not a good old fashioned. Get a trained bartender.
The meal was very hit and miss. Everyone enjoyed the sides, but the steaks were very grisly, fatty and tough. Not what I expect from an upscale steakhouse, particularly at those prices.
Won’t be going back.

My husband made a reservation for Valentine’s Day over a month ago for 7pm. He even called earlier in the day to confirm. Once we arrived, we were told it would be an hour wait, even with a reservation. We waited for over an hour just for there to still be several people “in line” in front of us- not even sure how that’s possible when you have a reservation. Everyone who walked in had the same experience- saying they had a reservation but being told it would be an hour to an hour and an half wait. Given it’s Valentine’s Day, it’s really upsetting considering there’s not many other last minute options for dinner. Extremely disappointed with how everything was handled and will not be returning.

I took my granddaughter and two of her sorority friends there and everything we ordered was just terrible. I ordered a filet medium rare and it was completely grey and flavorless. One of her friends ordered the crab cakes and they were completely inedible. We left a table full of food and paid a141.00 for it. I’ve had great experiences in the Jackson, MS location.

I’ve heard so much about this steak house in Jackson, I went for dinner last night with a large group for our Christmas Dinner , I was so very disappointed!!!!!! The food was basic, something I could have gotten from “Western Sizzlin” back in the day. It was suppose to be an ” Steak House” it was horrible! My steak was burned and my boyfriend steak was bland, he drowned it with steak sauce just for a favor, he also order an “old fashion” he had to send it back, it was filled with ice and bourbon. I was so disappointed!! I will never go back… other people in our party was very disappointed in the food as well. Food was sent back!! It was a wasted of money…… I would not recommend!!!!! If I could give it a negative star(s) I would!!! NEGATIVE 5 stars our total was $233, we have eaten at other ” Real Steak House” an it was worth every dime.
