We made reservations here for my graduate school graduation dinner, and despite it being one of the busiest times of the year, the food and service were amazing. The ribeye was honestly the best steak I've ever had, and while my boyfriend loved his prime rib, he already said he's getting the ribeye next time haha. The au gratin potatoes were incredible too. They kept bringing out warm bread and butter, and we definitely kept eating it. The atmosphere was clean, comfortable, and made the night feel really special. read more

This steakhouse has a very cozy vibe to it. The perfect place to sit down and have a nice quiet meal. The food is great and portions are decent for their price. The service was good and the staff were all very friendly. I love it during the winter when they have their fireplace going. read more

We enjoyed another great dinner experience at Mountain Jack's. It's a little over an hour's drive for us, but always well worth it! On this visit, Ariana took great care of us in the bar area, which is our preferred area to dine. We always enjoy the courteous and attentive service as well as the overall vibe, which is nostalgic for us. And, of course, the food is always delicious! read more

So for years I've heard from coworkers about this place having good food and it always seems to be packed on the weekends so I finally made the trip over to check it out and I must say it did not live up to the hype. When first entering you can tell the place is in immediate need for some remodeling. It looks old and dark/dated but maybe that's the feel the owners want to be stuck in. I saw ceiling fans wobbling and squeaking, floors were very creaky and it had a mildew type smell in the back where we sat. Now on to the food. My wife had steak which was not seasoned and garlic mashed potatoes which were not hot. I had a slab of ribs which were decent, sauce was definitely different and sides were green beans that were flavorless and scalloped potatoes that also were lacking on the flavor tip. Maybe it was an off day for the flavor crew but I wouldn't return simply on the ambiance. Eat here at your own risk. read more

Excellent service, cozy ambiance, fabulous food. We especially enjoyed the salad bar options offered as our server prepared our salads at the table. Honestly didn't expect this restaurant to exceed our expectations, as it did, being situated amongst hotels and food chains. Highly recommend! read more

Mountain Jack's - Prime rib - Steakhouses Near Me - Lafayette, Indiana

We had the best experience at this Mountain Jack's! We drove here, 3+ hours, out of pure nostalgia! As a child I remember my parents going to Mountain Jacks in Portage, Mi for so many of their special occasions! I got to tag along, since I was the much later born baby of our family - what a treat of the most amazing proportions that I had no idea at the time how blessed I was!! Fast forward at least two decades, I've recently lost the last of my parents , I'm doing some random google search one day and come across a Mountain Jacks, still in operation?! I was SHOCKED and oh so surprised, in the very best of ways! My husband started to plan a time when we could go together. He started by calling and speaking with the sweetest lady who is the owner of this location. He ordered a gift card for me as a surprise and she mailed it with a sweet, handwritten note. I was so delighted to see that piece of mail arrive with that very familiar Mountain Jack's logo!! We ended up planning a date night away and made our way down to Mountain Jack's on a recent Friday night in February. We didn't make any reservations and only had to wait about 10 minutes for the most lovely table! (We arrived around 7:30pm) You can head to the bar for a drink while you wait if you'd like! We ordered a couple of cocktails and soon the hostess came to take us to the most comfortable spot which was a cute half circle booth in the back! My husband and I both loved our spot for the night! Soon after being seated the most lovely waiter named Michael came - he was absolutely top notch the entire time evening! He had excellent suggestions and made just the right amount of very kind conversation throughout our meal! Couldn't have asked for better service! The first thing Michael brought us was a very perfect round loaf of fresh, hot bread with butter! Yum!! You know a meal is going to be good when it starts with hot bread! ;) We started by ordering the crab stuffed mushroom appetizer- delicious!! Great choice! Each entree comes with two sides AND soup or salad! My husband and I both ordered the salad and just like I remember from my childhood, it comes out on this huge circular platter and the waiter makes a personalized table-side salad for you! This is the most amazing concept! I love a salad bar, which it seems like no one has anymore, but this is even better than a salad bar! How could this get any better?! Homemade salad dressing choices!! Michael offered us a number of house made dressings! The ranch was delicious and this salad did not disappoint! I ordered the prime rib with au gratin potatoes and sautéed green beans. My husband ordered the Black and Bleu ribeye with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Both of our meals were ridiculously delicious but I have to say his ribeye was our favorite and I never order a ribeye steak!! ;) SO, SO good!! After our meals Michael brought out a dessert tray! I haven't seen this done in YEARS! I love a visual dessert tray and it worked! We ordered dessert, but probably wouldn't have had we not laid eyes on all of the glorious options!! I wanted a sampler platter dessert, but alas, I had to pick only one!! We landed on the mile high mud pie and it was - once again - over and above our expectations!! We sort of splurged on this experience - ordering an appetizer, multiple drinks, meals, dessert, etc... we don't do this very often. But when our bill arrived we were both shocked at the value! I'm not a numbers person, I don't add things up as I go - I was so pleased with the total cost, even after ordering every single thing I wanted!! GREAT PRICES!!! We drove all that way just for a meal at Mountain Jack's! It was worth every penny and we are already planning our next trip down! I would say we are foodies - a good meal with a good experience means a lot to me. One without the other can ruin the whole evening! Mountain Jack's is my new favorite spot - they hit the mark in every single area! Thank you for such a wonderful experience!! Can't wait to go back!! read more

Tried again after a very disappointing prime rib dinner about a year ago (tough overcooked prime rib, mediocre sides, watery iceberg cheap lettuce salad). My prime rib this time was cooked fine but only 1/2 was edible due to all the fat. At least I could cut some meat away from it. Salad was worse than I'd get at a fast food place. Can't recommend. I remember going for special occasions in the mid '70's when it 1st opened and maybe a decade after than but SO many better places now. You would think competition would make them try a little harder but sadly no. read more

Great food, fab portions! Make a reservation! They were super packed and busy. The salad is great, comes with a selection of items you can add in your side salad. Loved the freshness and variety. The potato and bacon soup was also really nice. They are known for their prime rib and I split a standard cut and there was quite a generous portion. We also had a rare ribeye that we had to send back due to overcooked. The second ribeye was perfect and the slice was thicker, so it was a great seasoned ribeye. The calamari appetizer was thick cuts of breaded calamari on a bed of red cabbage, onion, and bell peppers, so not the usual calamari with a marinara sauce. read more

Amazing experience from the moment we walked in. Old school steakhouse vibes and I loved every minute of it. All steaks are cut in house making the ribeye I had scrumptious. You get two sides and a salad. I have to say the table side salad is a must as this is an experience. Shout out to Blanca and her team, you all are running an amazing establishment. Ben thanks for your great service. Open for dinner only, must stop while you are around, easy on and off, off 65. read more

This place is fantastic. I'd never been and went with colleagues for a casual dinner, one of us was craving a steak. I'm so glad we went and can't believe I've been sleeping on this place the whole time I've lived here. Our service was excellent and answered a few questions we had about the menu. We ordered the crab stuffed mushrooms to start and they were delicious. The table side salad might have been one of my favorite dining things ever! I love a good salad and the fact that they had sunflower seeds in the options was awesome. My steak was cooked perfectly. I was really happy with my side selections: rice pilaf and au gratin potatoes. I'd order them again in a heartbeat. The turtle cheesecake was a shared dessert and I was so pleased at the excellent texture. It managed to be lighter than most of the heavy commercialized recipes you find elsewhere. All in all, a great spot. Looking forward to my next visit. read more

I honestly don't understand how this place won any award, unless there is an award for getting steak temperatures wrong. Six of us came here for steak, and five out of six steaks were cooked incorrectly. I ordered medium rare, but it came out basically raw. I sent it back, and somehow the second try was still raw. At that point I was starting to wonder if the kitchen thinks "medium rare" just means "still alive." We were there for almost two hours, and most of that time I was eating sides, especially the potatoes, because the steak was simply not edible. If I wanted to pay steakhouse prices for potatoes, I could have just stayed home. My friends' steaks were just as bad. Some were overcooked, and some were supposed to be medium well but came out rare. For a steakhouse, that is the bare minimum, and they could not even get that right. The owner was also extremely cold and didn't seem to care at all. They promised a discount, but in the end they only discounted my meal, which is funny because I was basically the one who spent two hours eating potatoes. This was easily the worst steakhouse experience I have ever had. I would not recommend this place unless you enjoy raw steak, long waits, and being treated like your time does not matter. read more

Amazing service and great food for a graduation dinner. One finishing at Purdue and one starting in the fall - from a Cali family

The food was good. If you get a salad, they come out with a salad wheel with at least 10 choices to add to your lettuce. It was pretty awesome. We had the appetizer sampler which included stuffed mushrooms, buffalo shrimp and potato skins. All of which was delicious. I had the Prime rib, since that's what they are know for and it didn't disappoint but i will say stayaway from the au gratin potatoes (not good). They only thing that I was really disappointed with is my drink. It was the Swet Tart martini. Good in flavor but extremely weak in alcohol. It was a martini drink but literally tasted like juice. The service was ok. It was only my table and someone at the bar in the section yet service was a bit slow for me but not bad . Just slow. If you are on a date night, it had just the right amount of ambiance. I would go back if im in the area. read more

Mountain Jack's - 10oz Filet Mignon, beans, and mashed potatoes - Steakhouses Near Me - Lafayette, Indiana

Came in before work alone. They were starting to get busy but wasn't bad. Ordered standard prime rib rare with salad, green beans and mash potatoes. Salad was fresh and i like the presentation. I had to take the rest in a to go bag, I think 35 min for a rare prime rib is a bit silly. Bag had no napkins or silverware. Prime rib was not rare. Most prime rib Connoisseurs would confirm rare is really the only way to go and i travel all over the country. It's one of my go-to meals. Quality not bad, beans and potatoes standard. Normally I'd give 1 star, but going up to 2 for ambience and presentation of the salad. Wouldn't come back though or recommend it. read more

We went here for a quick dinner on a recent stop over off the interstate. My wife and I both ordered French Onion soup and a glass of wine. The waiter brought out two bowls of a Cheddar or some other type of soup and we both looked at it and called him back over, saying this sure didn't like French Onion Soup. He apologized and took the soup back. He then returned with two new bowls of the same soup! Lol. We told him we ordered French Onion soup.....so he trekked back to the kitchen and on the third time brought out the French Onion soup! Somehow he must've had the other soup on his mind that night. We all laughed about it. The soup was great. Wine was good. Nice looking restaurant. His service was good even though it took a while to get the right soup! read more

Excellent experience here. Food and service could not have been better. James was a perfect server, attentive, helpful, and made great recommendations. He prepared an excellent salad tableside. I ordered the grilled salmon and it was perfectly cooked, and brushed with delicious garlic butter. My baked potato and sautéed green beans were very good as well. I believe this is the only Mountain Jack's left in Indiana. I plan to visit often, as I frequently work in Lafayette. read more

Went for our anniversary. Service was excellent. Prime rib was delicious. The atmosphere is very warm and inviting. Perfect for couples!

Date night dinner! Highly recommend making a reservation, as this place is BUSY! Our sever was amazing, attentive, and despite being busy was always available. We had the sampler as an appetizer and the petite prime rib with the table side salad and sides for dinners. The food was amazing, although we could do without the crab stuffed mushrooms (in the sampler) next time. Prime rib was perfectly cooked and sides (green beans and mashed potatoes) were delicious. I have read conflicting reviews on the lighting but in my opinion it was great. The lights were dim but we had no trouble reading the menu and the restaurant had good ambiance with several fireplaces. Or waiter Jerry told us that he works there part time which is a shame because we would prefer for him to be our waiter every time! I would highly recommend this steak house for any occasion! Hope to be back soon! read more

Good service!! Good food!! Good value!! Lamb chops dinner with dessert for $50?? Sign me up. And they of course cooked it perfectly medium well. I love the dessert tray they bring out. Haven't seen one of those in a while. Makes it nicer to see what you're getting. I opted for mashed potatoes and baked potato as my side. Didn't care for the mashed. They had a different flavor I wasn't feeling. Almost a bacon flavor which some people would probably prefer. I'll stick to the baked potato from now on. It's really dark in there almost too dark and need a phone light to read the menu. I did see someone doing that. read more

We learned from our server that this used to be a chain and now it is the last one that is open. Outside from having to cover a lot of other tables she had a great vibe and enthusiasm for the place. She really was hyped about making the salads which were PHENOMENAL!!!! They bring out the salad (see picture) and it is filled with fresh options. I had everything but the tomato. Our server asked if we wanted more or less of the toppings as she went. It was a highlight for sure. The bread they include was served warm and with butter. It was quite tasty as well. Kind of dense but with a solid flavor. My entree of chicken breast with mushrooms were well seasoned. I thought the sauce was delicious but the breasts were a little dry. The baked potato and green beans were as advertised. Overall this place has a great selection and good food. The service was friendly and efficient. Highly recommended read more

As one of our party members, needed a quiet, dimly lit area for a nice dinner out, I called MJ in advance for a reservation making sure that the concierge knew the situation in advance. I even called a second time, on day before. As it turned out, the staff did not have a seat chosen and held in advance but simply found the quietest place (in their estimation) that was available. I felt my calls were wasted. We actually needed to remove the bright light that had been placed on our table. The meal was steak and salmon with crab stuffed mushrooms. The steak was tender, and the salmon well-seasoned the right temperature and tender. The mushrooms were warm but had no real flavor very bland. The salad presentation and delivery were well done and flavorful. I had ordered an old fashion as a dinner drink and the bartender could use some schooling. Our waiter was the best part of the evening, as he was present when needed, bright, witty, and quick. read more

Very disappointed with my visit. We were seated at our table, my plate for the bread was dirty before bread was even served. Some type of manager came to ask how everything was, and we had only just sat down without even taking a sip of water. When asked how I'd like my steak cooked, I answered the same as everyone else, medium well. Our plates were served, only my steak was rare/medium rare. The juices from the steak spread to my potatoes and green beans, my meal and appetite were ruined. We never saw our waitress again until we were ready for the check. I told the waitress about the situation, to which she replied, "I'll see what I can do." Was still charged full price. If you're going to ask me how I'd like my 40 dollar steak cooked, please cook it how I ordered it. Will NEVER EVER bring my family back to this place. read more

This was our first visit to Mountain Jack's. We went because we like to eat at quality local places wherever we go. We were blown away. The tone was set when we walked in the door. We were met by Ed the owner and led to our table. That set the tone for our meal. Attention to detail describes every aspect of our experience. Spending summers at my Grandfather's 5 hotel set high standards. Mountain Jack's is the first place in 20+ years that met that standard. Kiley, our server 5s in absolutely every area. From recommendations, to attentiveness. In every way - perfection. Food - 5. The table side salad bar unique and delicious. My wife's prime rib literally melted in my mouth. My ribeye was cooked to perfection and the whiskey and peppercorn sauce took it to the next level. Our meal was rounded out with a wonderful Alexander Valley Cab. To top everything off we had a pistachio pound cake which was not too sweet - just right. Throw in the candles and soft music and it was perfection. This is a best kept secret that needs out. Come and see. You will be amazed read more

Went there with family and we were discriminated on by the owner of this establishment. I'm not usually one to cry racism, but the owner made us feel very unwelcome. It originally started with the cashier carding one of us. Which is fine, the person I was with have their identification at the time. So, one of us went back to our hotel to get it. Came back, showed it to the cashier. The cashier left and came back with the owner. He told us that the card was fake and tried to take a picture of it. That's when we got our things and left. He wouldn't even give us his name. The service was poor, and if you're a minority, steer clear. The restaurant owner is a short older looking fellow with glasses, looks almost identical to Dr. Fauci. VERY RACIST. Here's the address 4211 South St, Lafayette, IN 47905 read more
