    Jackson grill is exactly what I was hoping for! But I will you say you pay for the experience. It's a hole in the wall supper club, with great service and better steaks! One of the best steaks I've had in MKE, but like I said, somewhat pricey. But they have a lot of wagyu options so it makes sense. If you want a classic supper club experience close to downtown, I'd highly recommend!

    WOW! We have been wanting to come here for years and finally made it happen, and I'm already planning my next trip. Overview: great spot with supper club atmosphere but a steakhouse menu that delivers exceptional quality. Details to follow: This experience start to finish was outstanding. A true supper club vibe: you arrive and are offered a seat at the bar to enjoy a cocktail while they get your table ready. When you are ready to sit down you are escorted to the cozy dining room where the friendly staff gives recommendations and takes your order. I do not say this lightly: this is absolutely, in my humble opinion, the BEST STEAK in Milwaukee. We had the ribeye and oh my goodness it was incredible. I am actually not a big steak fan because I often find them to be under or overcooked from what I ordered and almost always spit a lot of the meat out because I find it to be tough and chewy. I ate this entire steak- which was a perfect medium, as ordered. I even said to my husband while we were eating "this might be the first time ever I've gotten a true MEDIUM steak when I ordered medium". Also Bud Selig was eating there when we got there which was pretty cool. And don't sleep on the cocktails! My aviation with Hendricks was wonderful. Thanks Kevin and the rest of the staff for a wonderful experience!

    Went here on a Saturday night after seeing the place next to Gerber Collision. Old school vibes. Great Braves/Brewers memorabilia. Started at the bar and had a cocktail. Moved seamlessly to the table and had the shrimp appetizer followed by solid red meat. Wine list is not pretentious with multiple good California options. Meredith was attentive and answered our endless stream of questions. Crème brûlée was as I like it - light, straightforward and unembellished by other stuff. Overall - menu has limited options but everything we had was done well. Certainly plan to return.

    Had a lovely dinner at The Jackson Grill last night. The amazing vibe in that place! Love sitting at the bar to eat always because Kevin, the bartender is a show too. We had dirty martinis and some cosmos. Appetizer was a shrimp scampi. For entrees, we ordered: Tournedos Three peppercorn crusted Medallions a la portabella e crème bordelaise Filet with portabella Seared scallops with risotto Chef knocked it out of the park with all of these proteins. Love that nothing has changed! The salads we had were very fresh with housemade dressings. This supper club has such old school energy that I'm in love with. Food and cocktails are perfect.

    a true supper club experience - and I think this will really give friends who come to visit the *wisconsin* experience. the interior is unassuming, you absolutely aren't coming here for the vibes. minimal aesthetics. but the food was surprisingly good - which I expected given that I came here a week after my friend recommended it to me. I wanted to try the wagyu which was a special and it was very yummy. Got to be too chewy and full of fat towards the end though. And the crab bisque soup was soooo warm and delicious, perfect for dipping the bread in! One of my faves for sure. I think the garlic noodles had a lot of potential if they didn't use farfalle. a twirly noodle was what I had in mind instead. The airline chicken was such a miss. They had run out of 3 things on the menu (that I had been eyeing up before) so I was initially super disappointed. And shockingly they even had a plant based meat on the menu too. The vanilla bean creme brulee was a must have, perfect way to end dinner

    Amazing choices.  Elegant made easy. Love this!

    Diamond in the rough. Service personable, knowledgeable and professional! The ambience is date approved. The service is great. They greet you and assist you soon after entering the door. The drinks are made perfectly. I don't get martinis or sidecars anywhere but I do here! The bar and seating area are beautiful. The food is just amazing I have not yet had anything I didn't like. Steak dishes are grilled to perfection. I would suggest the mushrooms and butter. Scallops perfect not sandy and tender. The pork chops are a good portion and tender with garlic confit a la portabella! The airline chicken is so much more but love the name. Brown butter, golden, tender, juicy with garlic mash and asparagus! Yes! I'm looking forward to the medallions with creme bordelaise! Stay tuned. I'll let you know. Need I say dessert? I've had the lava cake and creme brule. Both are great. I'll try bananas foster next! Recommended!

    1000% can't wait to go back. This cute little restaurant on the south side had a supper club like menu and everything was delicious. The Cajun bbq shrimp may have been the best thing I have ever had. The sea bass was a perfect portion and cooked to perfection! And our server Mal was the best.

    Salmon with crab hash and asparagus!

    I was looking for a good steak and we found this listing with great rating but minimal number as they had just reopened under new management. Nice little supper club nestled in a neighborhood. Friendly bartenders and great house cocktails. Try black manhattan! I had the grilled 16 oz ribeye, medium. It was thick, slightly blackened and delicious, with crab bisque and broccoli with pepper sauce all were awesome. My wife had salmon with crab hash and Asparagus, it was also awesome. Our servers were friendly and attentive. I love ribeye and this was of the best I've had. Definitely going back!

    Made a reservation for 2 on NYE- 8:30pm Arrived solo and decided to just order at the bar ~ accommodated politely. Very cozy establishment, loved the original blonde intact back bar, gave a historic time stamp of its Era... however the lighting choices, a big box 1980s flair, with continuity of a dry brown paint throughout, was drab. Not complementary of the character this establishment still holds after decades. 38capacity and 3floor staff, type 'quaint' and welcoming. My old fashioned cocktail made by Kevin was perfect~ the warm bread, salad and wine pairing, perfect start. I ordered a medium rare steak with scallops and garlic mash. The scallops were buttery perfect texture and delicious, steak nearly WELL done, and a firm portabella, bit too much for my taste.. albeit I was taken care of right away and it was agreed~ steak overcooked. I went outside came back in to a fresh, hot, perfectly delicious med rare steak I enjoyed greatly. I learned the owners are the kitchen staff, it was the end of night and it's so easy for select meats to cook quickly. Round two was perfect, I will be back with friends and will do my 'interior designers' best, not to salivate over the brown blank canvas this place presents itself to my brain. (What I do to these walls, could be delicious too)

    Bar

    Definitely a quirky location. Love the supper club atmosphere. Didn't sit at bar as I was with me daughter but cool. The were great answering questions via messenger. Menu is not huge but we knew that. Filet was spot on and rare lol Iike ordered. My daughter lives it too. Service was great. Will definitely be back.

I reviewed close to 30 places to find the perfect spot that could accommodate up to 150 people and check all the boxes we were looking for. They hit the mark on all. The second floor and roof top more than handled our group. The space was free with a set minimal spend. And they met the budget. It allowed for an amazing buffet with fantastic food. Allowed us to utilize audio and visual as well as have our requested raffle table and check in table for name tags and mini gifts and ability to use directory boards and more. They are simply amazing and I would highly recommend them for your next event. Mike the owner was awesome to work with and was top notch with communication and accommodating all of our specific needs without additional expenses. I was a tough requester and have to say they not only met but exceeded on all avenues. The staff also was amazing - shout out to Christian, Wes, and Gabi and Dom. Btw the games provided were the cherry on top. Dart board, ring toss, Hammerschlagen. All this and food and beverage handled in house . No extra coordination for beverage or catering. Simply a win across the board! I Highly recommend!! Christina

I'll have to check it out next time! So instead I ordered the burger at medium patty but it came out medium well. They had swapped it with my friend's who ordered no tomato and medium well. Medium well felt dry to me, next time will check the patty if it's don't correctly. French fries were good, crispy, and had a nice shape that looked like annually cut potato wedges but looked like the shape of fries They were out of other entrees that night, so definitely wanna come back to try what was sold out. The food came out quickly, didn't have to wait too long and it wasn't crowded.

They have steaks you won't find anywhere else in town, or they'll be the first to have it available in the entire state! Sides, apps, and desserts are always great, too! Most recently, we shared the Wagyu Brisket and Gnocchi appetizer (again, no one else has this on their menu), and it was amazing! Our 8oz filet and 20oz bone-in ribeye were perfectly cooked to temperature, and the Truffle Frites and Brussels sprouts were great options for our steaks. The Dark Chocolate Mousse Bar and added vanilla ice cream from local premium ice cream makerr, Scratch, made for the perfect end to our dinner. My girlfriend loved her Pick Me Up (Espresso Martini), and I enjoyed my Chef's A-5 Manhattan, made with Sazerac "washed in Japanese A-5 beef fat," and again - what other place is doing this?!?!

This was a work dinner, otherwise I absolutely would have sent my meal back. The steaks were overwhelmingly salty--so much so that it completely overshadowed the quality of the meat. Even more frustrating, every steak at our table came out rare, regardless of how it was ordered. The asparagus was overcooked, the ramp chowder was just okay, and the dessert honestly tasted like something picked up from Sam's Club rather than made in-house. The drinks were very good, and the service was attentive and professional, which is the reason I gave this place 3 stars. For the reputation and price point, I expected much better. There are MUCH better options in Milwaukee, go elsewhere.

Some lady answered and kept calling me hun saying I'll put you down hun. She said it was no problem because it was for a special occasion. Fast forward to last night me and my 7 guests show up for dinner and the general manager tells me "we don't take reservations". I told him some lady said she would take my reservation but because I didn't have a name he couldn't believe what I was saying to be true. He said I will try to get you a table in the next half hour while other guests have to wait 1-2 hours making me feel like I was inconveniencing him. An hour later we finally got seated. Mind you the whole first hour standing in a cramped- way too full bar - is not fun. So we were given 2 free apps for the "misunderstanding". Our waitress forgot my friends wine - not the biggest deal. Everyone but me ordered a prime rib and they were all mostly fat. I was willing to overlook the whole reservation thing if the food was worth the wait, but it was not. The best thing I ate was truffle fries. If you want to book a dinner for a special occasion don't waste your time here.
