    I've been to Jack Ryan's 5 times over the years and this was my favorite spot for fine dining in…read moreEast TX. The service was always great, the food was top notch and the drinks were fantastic. Kilgore and Longview in general just do not have much fine dining. Jack Ryan's was the diamond in the rough. At some point in 2024, Jack Ryan's made a decision to close doors to the general public (outside of private events). My partner and I were crushed as this one of our first picks when it came to going out. In late 2024, they decided to revert their decision and re-open to the public. We were elated. I came here on NYE with my fiance. The hostess working here at the time had a terrible attitude. Our server was mediocre. The food was good - but we could tell it was a different vibe from before. With it being a holiday - we assumed that was the reason for the less than par experience. 3 weeks later, we came back with my brother from out of town. He had a refined palette - so I did what anyone would do trying to impress their brother in ETX - and took him to Jack Ryan's. I made reservations for 5 weeks in advance to be told by the same hostess from weeks before that I had no reservations and could not be seated. After some push back, we were seated near the bar area. It turns out our server was actually the solo bartender for the night. What a nightmare that was. She was absent for most of the night. Drinks were slow. She was nice and this was not her fault. Her company set her up for failure. It was very disappointing! About a week later, I called to complain to the manager, Jason. He apologized profusely and told me to give them another shot. He would make sure we were taken care. While we likely will give them one more chance - I'm pretty much done with Jack Ryan's. Their service has been terrible. The food doesnt have the same magic as before. The bathrooms weren't as clean. I would question coming here and dropping a few hundred dollars until they can get their sparkle back.

    Absolutely disgusting food quality & service. All of my food came cold, raw and under cooked. The…read moreT-bone was cold, rubbery and bloody! I ordered a well done steak & had a steak that was bleeding all over into my eggs. Complained to the manager Jeremy Kelly who was the one who cooked it and he went a level of unprofessional that I've not seen before him. I'm guessing that prior to becoming manager excuses floated him in life, but he's only fooling himself when he claims that he can cook & that this "isn't a steakhouse". No, he's literally responsible for practically microwaving ready made meals & it's clear that he's not even competent enough to do that. He should be absolutely ashamed of himself as he is responsible for making sure that people don't die from under cooked food. You should know too, that he is not concerned one iota with the quality of the food coming out of here & he certainly goes full on unnecessary drama if he's politely called out on it. Telling me not to come back & forcing me to pay for food that was sent back & I didn't get to really eat because he doesn't know how to cook. I can only imagine the hissy fit that he throws on customers who give him attitude. He's all out delusional & crazy on something that making it right would have fixed. Just ridiculous and the sooner this place fires this incompetent man, the better the restaurant will be off. There's a good reason only 3 booths are occupied on a Saturday night attached to a truck stop...because this guy thinks he can punch a clock, swear in front of people's kids & then let the place fall apart & treat the customers who are paying good money to eat things I wouldn't feed an animal. Another thing, the slimy eggs were supposed to be medium & he couldn't even get that right & they are what made me throw up. I have the right mind to sue. Eat here at your own risk. It also appears on other review places that managers are thanking 1 star reviews as 5 star- so shady!
