Wanted to order food but was told we couldn't order yet because the cook was in the middle of a catering order. What kind of bar, restaurant does that! When I finally got my food it was horrible, the corned beef sandwhich was not good at all, corned beef was very dry and crunchy. The onion rings were so saturated in grease they tasted disgusting and there was so much grease in the bottom of my dish the rings were swimming. My friend ordered fish which was greasy and tasteless, they did not even have tarter sauce for their fish. Atmosphere was gloomy and disappointing to say the least. I will never step foot in there again.

We had a fairly awful meal and experience at Jamison’s tonight. My kiddo wanted steak and we’d had good filet there before and great mashed potato’s. And we were pleased that there was only one other group there. So we ordered the steaks as they no longer have the petite filet anymore. It took so long to get our meal! We started to wonder if we should just leave. We thought we were being pranked, at one point we were just alone with no servers or anyone. Eventually our steaks arrived and you could barely cut them. There was so much gristle, we had to spot pieces out. When we told our server she deducted my mom’s beer but there was no other apologies. Is it normal for the steaks here to be really hard to consume? The potatoes were still good and the fries are pretty good too.

The red wine was old and smelled like vinegar. Food is pretty good. Not a fan of the giant TV’s in every corner or the new gray paint. Screens are distracting and the place looks more bland. Add some color.

Recently stopped in (Saturday dinner time)... was under understaffed. Available staff were checked out - nobody was happy to work there.
For years, I worked in commercial food service. It was clear that nobody was in charge of quality control 3/4 items I ate would have been rejected in my kitchen.... the other 1/4 item was fried (tough to mess up).
The tap IPA I ordered tasted like it had line cleaner in it.
It's good if you want a quiet place (less than 10 customers at dinner time on a Saturday were there).
It's rare that I do not take leftovers... didn't want to repeat the experience at home.

I stopped over there two times once at 7:30. The person in the kitchen left early so I showed up at 5:30 at both times. No one was in the place except 3 to 4 people at the bar. The food is very memorable. It’s so disgusting. I wouldn’t eat it again at all. I had one bite of the chicken wild rice soup I think they put toilet water in it directly out of the toilet before. It was served me that fin couldn’t find the wild rice I don’t care it didn’t smell right and Anyway the walleye was fishy And bones couldn’t eat the coleslaw that was gross. The french fries were limb, and the onion rings were greasy and stuck together. I was hoping for mashed potatoes, but she told me because I asked they are instant not homemade. They have no ribs available off the menu! They have downsize their menu. The food stinks and when I put it in my car, it’s smelt like a dumpster. I don’t think he’ll be in business long and that’s too bad because back in the day that was the Cherokee,sirloin room! There is no Irish food at that place at all and for The price I recommend Mondays at Burger Mo’s on grand I forgot to say that the poor girl is working by herself, so she’s running the bar taking orders running a mock, but of course he wouldn’t staff more than one person because no one goes there. I recommend that you call first about the menu and before you buy any kind of group on a shop there I watched a couple walk in there. Sit there for a while and walk out again I’m very patient so I sat there for a very long time so I recommend before you buy anything walk in there and check it out. I hope the people that walked out, didn’t buy a Groupon like I did because I bought two of them. I’m not going back again not even meant for free.🤢

Went there with friends last night and was so disappointed. Every question we asked the server was answered with " I don't know ". Like what two wines are on the HH menu. My margarita had sprite in it. My turkey club was tasteless. It had cheap lunch meat that looked nothing like the picture. I took half home and found they used the heel of the bread for one side. How disrespectful!

few weeks ago, I tried jamesons and let me tell you it was an awful experience. I was served cold raw chicken tenders with no remorse. Seemed as though they just chopped the chickens head off and threw it onto my plate, disgusting. When I asked for this to be comped they insisted on remaking them, brought my plate back out…I couldn’t believe it. The owner brian doesn’t seem to hold any dignity when it comes to his establishment. don’t come here, respect yourself.

Wow! So, went against my bar rib experience from former kitchen gigs and went with the ribs, mashed ‘tators, and asparagus with cheese curds as an app….. that was an expensive mistake!!! Cheese curds were mostly hollow and the breading was disgusting. It took well over 45 minutes to get our ribs and surprise surprise, they were the same trash at all bars that just chill in the fridge and get microwaved when needed, or whatever lie about how they are finally prepared in the rebuttal. The bbq sauce was squirted on top and being that both the dry and wet ribs were cold to the touch, the sauce didn’t cover anything besides where it was squirted on top to which the bbq sauce was probably just so generic sauce or typical sweet baby r@ys, which is over played. The mashed potato’s were cold and found plenty of clumps. The veggie of the day was weak as well with only 3 slim slim pieces of asparagus. This was a trash food experience considering there was almost no one in the bar to slow down the kitchen and the special was ribs, which again was trash. I will never go back and make jokes when others consider this as a place to go. Any good reviews I would not consider as valid when this happened to me. ??. Waitress did do an acceptable job with what was provided. Not her fault the meal was terrible.

Just ate here tonight with my family. Friendly staff, great food and generous portions.
Editing my review because the owner replied on trend of, never taking any accountability or acknowledging the complaints properly in a review.
When we walked in there were only two men sitting in the entire bar area. There was a family of maybe 6 who was just leaving when we arrived and another family of maybe 5 people still there when we were. We admittedly had a table of 10 but the group that came after us left because there was already no crab left midway through the program.
My impression is that it wasnt a volume of patron issue but a lack of properly staffing your business issue. A bartender, two servers, and what seemed like probably only one chef in the back is really the problem here. A “busy” night shouldnt result from under 30 people being present during a two hour eating window.
Have you ever asked yourself, “am I getting punked right now?” I kept waiting for the camera crew to pop out and yell, “surprise” but it never happened.
If you're looking for a public place to end a bad relationship, bring them here to add insult to injury.

I am not exaggerating when I say this was the worst dinning experience that my party and I have ever experienced. I'm struggling to even find the words of how bad it was. I should've expected it when we first got out of the car in the parking lot and we're greeted by the smell of rotting garbage. My family came here for my birthday and not a single thing was correct. Let me just list the things I can remember:
-despite calling ahead (specifically for the endless crab) for a reservation a day in advance, our party was immediately told they were low on crab upon ordering. It was 6:45pm. The special runs 3-8pm, or 4-9, or 5-9 depending on which form of social media you check.
-When ordering, we were also warned they were down to one baked potato and one biscuit.
-Because we ordered 4 orders of crab (again, called ahead) they had to immediately inform the 3 other tables who were already in the middle of their endless crab, that they would not get any more crab. Plot twist, everyone was pissed.
-We ordered a gin martini and they LITERALLY forgot to put the gin in it. It was just olive juice. The second one came out normal.
-They had informed us they were down to just one baked potato and two biscuits (each of these come with the endless crab). We received 2 baked potatoes, three biscuits, and a bowl of French onion soup(???) ALL of which were bad. Biscuits rock hard, potatoes looked gross, and soup(??) sucked. Also was missing the cheese that always comes on top of french onion.
-When we got the crab, it was so cold and overcooked that literally everyone who ordered it didn't eat it and asked for their money back. In total 7 out of the 11 of us got our meals comped.
-We didn't receive silverware until we had to ask, way after being served. Even when we got them we weren't given crab crackers or napkins. We also never received a bucket for the shells that every other table had. Seriously??
-Everyone in my party that ordered fries as a side complained that the fries were salty af. Like, actually unedibly salty.
-The two people who ordered the walleye entree didn't receive the tartar sauce (that comes with the order) until they had to ask.
-Our server had to eventually come over and ask, "Did anyone actually enjoy their meal." And all eleven of us said "No."
-There was no manager on duty to handle our compaint, which I can understand because it was after normal business hours m-f, but the most senior employee who was filling the role of manager refused to even come to our table to talk to us about the service.
And finally, when we had accepted that this family birthday dinner was absolutely awful and we'd need to reschedule, we went out to the parking lot and noticed their entire parking lot is SPRAY PAINTED LINES AND HANDICAPPED ICONS. We LITERALLY FOUND THE SPRAY PAINT CANS IN THE GARBAGE RIGHT NEXT TO THE PARKING LOT. Cutting corners in every single way.
This place is unreal. I've never seen any restaurant drop the ball, in actually, ACTUALLY, every single point of service. Completely ruined a birthday/family gathering. Do not go here. Although I can't imagine they'll be staying in business much longer.

Are steaks were absolutely wonderful. The bartender suggested whiskey for my wife's drink. That was absolutely perfect. We'll certainly be coming back again!
We’ve been here on several occasions. Always very good! The AYCE crab is so good. Nice quality snow crab legs. Service is always on point. We’ve also tried their nachos which are fantastic, unique because they use fried flour tortilla chips made in-house. The voodoo shrimp & cheese curds are also both a must try. My son loved his burger, especially the bbq sauce, which they make from scratch. I’ve heard the ribs are awesome, too. It’s a got a comfy, casual vibe. Overall, a nice little neighborhood bar with great food & service.
