For whatever reason I felt I was on a cruise ship. Surrounded by an aged population dressed in their Sunday best in a classic Midwest steak house.

Jessey's is a steak place. Go for the steak.

Some of the best steak I've had in years has been Jessey's ribeye steak.

When I want a good steak, I go to Jesseys.

Get the ribeye. The sirloin is not in the same league.

(Back in the olden days, they used to have aged beef. Sadly. It's gone!)

For those who complain about the shrimp, what do you expect? You are 1000 miles from the nearest good shrimp. Ordering shrimp is for sure going to get you frozen shrimp.

They also have an excellent Cavatelli. Unfortunately, the only way to know when it's available, is to call. I wish they would put the schedule for the Italian special on the web, or maybe Facebook.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessibility is problematic. There is ONE handicapped parking place, and the pseudo accessable entrance is the other side of the building.

There are NO accessable restrooms.

If you try the back stairs on crutches, the stone steps are icy, and they don't clear the sidewalk. (I don't recommend it in winter!)

Go for the surf, the turf, dim light, and stiff drinks. Do not go here if you enjoy looking out windows.
