Jacko’s is hands down one of the best steak places in the area, a true gem that has stood the test of time since 1925. We absolutely love their food—every steak is massive, cooked to absolute perfection, and bursting with incredible flavor. The sides and accompaniments are equally impressive, complementing the meat beautifully and making the entire dining experience unforgettable. Although they’re only open for dinner and just a few nights a week, it’s well worth planning your visit around their schedule. The cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and timeless charm make this place a must-visit for steak lovers. Jacko’s is nothing short of amazing, and we can’t wait to come back for another fantastic meal!

Great food. Excellent service. We were shown to our table promptly. Our waiter notified us of the pending delivery of fresh Dover soles which we ordered immediately and gave us perfect recommendations to pair with the wine for the rest of the courses. The food was staged perfectly. Every dish was beautiful and delicious, from appetizers to dessert.
