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!

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!

I think a locals landmark. Small place, limited seating, limited bar, dark inside. Had an Italian mafia hangout vibe. I think if you spring for the steak your memories will hold longer.

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.

Disappointed in this place, atmosphere is good. Not impressed with the food, ordered a salad which was terrible, wilted lettuce with green beans, oil and vinegar dressing tasted like straight vinegar, couldn't eat it. Friend ordered a steak medium however it was rare. Definitely not like it used to be for the money. Won't be going back.

Was told to try it out do to its history etc. Went with a friend and the wife, I got some over priced prawns, both the wife and friend got steaks which were over cooked. Friend decided to keep his but wife sent it back. Took for ever to get her steak back to be burnt on the outside and semi cook well inside. Both had asked for medium rare but all this history and they can’t cook a steak smh. Male bus boy was nice and very good with all the tables, meanwhile our waitress was annoyed they messed up our order and we brought it up. We decided to see if they would compensate for their lack of cooking and the long Waite time for them to fix my wife’s steak and nothing. Sad to say steak was not seasoned well, poor cooking and bad customer service. Should’ve listen to all the bad reviews we read before going Owell

The salad was fresh and delicious, the steak was cooked to perfection, and the service was excellent. The lighting was a bit on the dark side, but overall it was a wonderful 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.

We love Jack's. Their food is pretty good-steaks are for sure the best thing in the menu, fried chicken was okay. Service is almost perfect and atmosphere is great. They would have received a 5 in the service department but we were highly disappointed with our most recent trip. This was the first time we went with a group, not just my husband and I. My husband, sister and I ordered 2 meals for the 3 of us to share . We did not ask for ANYTHING to be split by the kitchen. We never even told the waitress we were splitting anything. For all she knew, one of us could have been eating the appetizer we ordered. She took it upon herself to bring 2 extra plates and then charge us $8 for it!!!! Seriously ridiculous. That would have been over the top if they HAD split it for us in the kitchen but they didn't. I disputed the charge and the waitress said that is just policy when someone doesn't order a meal! I'm sorry, what!? Definitely changed my mind about how much they actually care about the customer and how much they are just greedy for free money. They literally got $8 extra dollars out of us for plates we did not ask for and did not use. Outrageous Jack's. Do better.

To all the haters that have left 1 star reviews, WOW!
I am traveling from out of town and this meal, for 2, was amazing and worth every penny! We also met many repeat customers which immediately contradicts your reviews!
