Jack's Grill,

1743 California St, Redding, CA 96001, United States

"The food was good, but the service and atmosphere was not. It was extremely dark inside that a flashlight is needed to see ticket receipt. The prices were outrageous!"

"My wife and I took my father and his wife out for his birthday dinner. Jacks has always been my father’s choice for a great steak. Unfortunately we had a terrible experience and I’m not one to post reviews but for four people at $249.00 this one is getting a review! My father and I ordered the fillet mignon and his wife ordered another steak. We all ordered our steaks to be cooked medium . My father’s came out with a seared outside and completely raw inside, it was actually still cold. My steak was barely cooked enough to eat and my father’s wife’s steak was also really rare. My Father’s steak was not even edible so we had to send it back.instead of cooking him a new steak our waitress tells us she will throw it back on the grill. As it came back out it was even more seared almost burnt on the outside but still uncooked in the center. Again not even edible unless you like eating raw meat. The fact that they didn’t provide him with a brand new steak and they took there mistake back and tried to re-cook It was extremely shocking to me when I’m paying $50 for a steak. The french fries were soggy, and the service was definitely not the best. We were very sad to walk out of the place not caring if we even go back as it’s been a Redding landmark and my father has been been eating there for over 50 years. Probably the worst $250 spent on a meal that I can think of ever!"

"Great steaks but be warned whatever you order they'll try and cook one less than that with a preference for mid rare/rare. Old practice to do this, as most modern steakhouses deliver exactly as ordered, so keep that in mind when ordering or ask your server to confirm the doneness of your meat. All that being said, love the low light, intimate feeling. Expect to wait at the bar with a great bar service, and not be seated until your full party is present. This place is a staple for coming to Redding for a casual night out with good steaks at pretty reasonable prices given the quality."

"An old timey spot that doesn’t look like it’s changed since it opened. Kitschy but nice, the booths are comfy, the service excellent, and Jacks favorite NY steak with the perfectly seasoned and superb sear was impeccable. We got there early enough (4:00), to enjoy watching the staff interact like family. By 6:00, there were people waiting for a table."

"Great service and a unique, retro vibe. Generous drink pours. The food was marginal. The ribeye was undercooked - cold and still purple on the inside. I ordered this medium-rare which I do all the time but have never had it still cold and purple. The fries were dry and cold. The salad was decent but plain. Considering they specialize in steaks, I expected better."
