11/6/25. Started with the octopus(tender), raw oysters and baby lamp chops (nice crust). Shared the prime filet with creamed spinach (too oily)and truffle mac (pretty good). Really wanted the pistachio cake but they sold out so we had the chocolate lava cake (with pistachio ice cream). Sat at the bar the entire night and Gerardo the bartender was awesome! read more

It's always a treat coming here, so it naturally felt like the go to for Father's Day. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Our server Angel was top notch. He ran through the menu for my father and really got him excited for the dinner. The menu is pretty simple - meat. Crabcakes and lamb chop appetizers were a hit. I, almost, wish that both had entree options. The entree portions are relatively large but cooked really well. The steak always comes out very tender and flavorful. The sides are not so great. The mashed potato was cold and missing salt. Broccoli and creamed spinach was ok. The steak fries were burnt and dry, very odd texture and disappointing. The bacon corn brulee was the best side. It tastes like a chunky and slightly salty cream of corn, definitely recommend it. read more

Sides were good. Steak was terrible. We're at a steakhouse. Ordered the dry aged tomahawk prime bone in medium rare and it came out cold. Like real cold. The middle of fat was thicker than butter and meat in the center was cold. Went back to the kitchen and came out overdone and burnt. Service was okay. read more

Ambiance was decent, very old fashioned, dimly lit inside. Service was excellent, and the food was solid, too. My family and I all ordered different temps on the steak, all of them were prepared OKAY. Steak was tasty, definitely could use some salt, but great charred taste. Sides were really excellent, especially the creamed spinach and garlic mash. Very pricey, however. I'd go again for a nice occasion. read more

We came here last night for dinner and as soon as we walked in, we were instantly sat at our table . The service was amazing, we ordered the maple bacon as an appetizer and it arrived with 2 dipping sauces , a peanut butter one and a chipotle maple glaze wow oh wow it was amazing . For dinner we ordered the porter house for 2 it was perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned . And for dessert we shared the tiramisu. Everything was amazing . The ambiance was great , reminded us of an old school Italian restaurant. A lot of old school decor , wood paneling etc... . The price was fair and they offer valet which is a huge plus in a busy area like that , parking would be impossible. read more

Sadly the recent reviews and sentiment are true. I just took some clients for our annual holiday lunch. While lunch service was still spot on, the prices have gone up and the food taste/quality has gone down. Uncle Jacks Shrimp Scampi ok, baked clams wet bland mush. Wedge salad w blue cheese and bacon, barely any of either. I was so looking forward to the breaded veal shop with cherry peppers. It was the worst cut of veal I've had in ages, although super breaded nicely it had zero taste or flavor when they barely gave me any cherry peppers or cherry pepper sauce. I don't know. Uncle Jacks? Maybe 3rd cousin once removed. Out! read more

This could've been such a lovely experience but the knucklehead waiter that tended to us ruined it. My 2nd visit here was sabotaged by his (Angel's the name) unprofessionalism and UNCOUTHNESS! He was horrendous. Not sure why he is even a staff member of this lovely establishment. His potty mouth and constant self insertion into our private conversations were appalling. I've never had to deal with such foolery while dining out before. I really wanted to tell him to "Get LOST" on several occasions..he kept lingering near our table eavesdropping and giving his opinion on topics when no-one asked or cared what he thought..!!! It was very weird and annoying!! What was supposed to be a romantic dinner for two, felt more like a night at a sports bar and NOT a good one. However, the food was good, but my entree definitely would've been more enjoyable if I didn't lose my appetite mid meal from all of the negative energy.. Given the prices of these menu items, wait staff should definitely be selected for hire at a HIGHER STANDARD!!! read more

We made a reservation for a party of 8 and we were quickly seated. It is street parking and if you cant find any, they actually have valet parking at night only. Since it was our first time, we had to get a little bit of everything. Apps: -organic mesclun salad -maryland style crab cake -wagyu kobe meatballs -lollipop lamb chios -thick cut maple glazed bacon ( my fav) mains: porterhouse for 2 australian wagyu ( my fav) yabba dabba doo chop for two sides: creamed spinach lobster and truffle mac and cheese (my fav) bacon corn brulee desserts: chocolate souffle pecan pie pistachio cake (my fav) the staff were really nice and know about their menu, the ambiance is really nice and would definitely go back to try out other things on the menu! read more

Came in with a party of 4, we didn't make a reservation but we were seated immediately. We got the porterhouse for 2 ($149), prime filet 12oz ($55) , and steak fries($12), all medium rare. My favorite was the prime filet, it was cooked to perfection and it bursted with flavor. The fries were normal wedges, nothing really stood out about it. The porterhouse was okay too. We were told that there was a porterhouse for 3 but we just stuck to 2, which I'm glad we did. I kind of expected more from this because it was so pricey. The ambience of the store is nice they have a lot of portraits. I would come back for the prime filet! read more

Our server with gorgeous Mustache was so helpful and made our experience pleasant. The portal house for two was OK not great just OK. I've been to other steakhouses and I'm sorry to say besides the ambience the food was mediocre. The bacon was below average. It wasn't thick just tasted like bacon dipped in brown sugar. The Staff and the ambience were great. read more

Not bad, but not good either. The steaks were fine. They weren't bad but they weren't good either. Definitely not worth the price. Also, our sever was a ray of misery. He did not smile once, or even try to be nice or seem hospitable. He seemed miserable. I understand that everyone has bad days, but to be so miserable to the point that you make others feel bad for paying your establishment a visit? We were very uncomfortable and basically ate as fast as we could, just so we could get out of there and leave him be. read more

Amazing food, apps and seafood tower were off the hook.. Steaks as promised we had a large party and the staff overcame any issues our party might have had. The steaks were done perfectly and the porter house for two as always was on point as well as the filet and I believe better than Lugers.. the sides of spinach and garlic mash were killer. Over all great service and all were very happy with the choice for our party. Uncle jacks and Willie D always come through for us. read more

Quaint & cozy is how I would describe the decor - nice, spacious bar. It can feel a little tight but it's not the biggest restaurant so they make do with the space they have. I passed by this place so many times & never thought twice about it ...until my friend took me here for a belated birthday dinner. How the hell did I miss this gem? Their thick cut maple glazed bacon is killer - almost melts in your mouth & that flavor makes you close your eyes in happiness for just a heavenly moment - I really enjoyed their Oysters "Jackefellar" too. Creamed spinach is also on point along with the garlic mash. Perfect portions & I have to resist the urge to order all the sides simultaneously. I'm fat, but not that fat ...so I tell myself. *sob Porterhouse was amazing. As were all the cuts - of course it's pricey but perfect when you want to spoil yourself. (Or someone else) Loved my glass of Cabernet - a full body that mingles very nicely with a medium rare slice. Great pairing. Service is awesome - efficient, attentive & helpful. I've come here a total of 3 times and while it's more like a once in a while thing, (can't have too much red meat) I look forward to it each time. Bravo for having a steakhouse worth going to in Bayside. read more

Went 2 years ago and came back for my birthday. I am 64 and love filet mignon. I am horrified by the dinner we ate this evening! The filet was chewy and I couldn't even eat it. The waiter said nothing when he took back an entire filet! Dessert was just as bad .. the chocolate mousse was chunky and disgusting... again waiter said nothing when the dessert wasn't eaten. Do not go here they charge a lot and do not care if you are happy Very read more

The food was amazing, for appetizers I had the calamari, and the bacon, the bread that they gave us were really good too! They had raisin bread, everything cracker, regular crackers and regular bread. For the entrees I had the Wagyu burger which was loaded with flavor and juice topped with sesame seeds, I also had a loaded baked potato (came with cheese and bacon bits inside and sour cream on the side), and the Porterhouse steak that came with juice inside a hot plate. The waiters were really nice and friendly. The steakhouse had a bunch of decorations matching with Christmas and wonderful music! read more

My husband and I come here all the time. The food is pretty much alway spot on. I mean there are nights when we say it could have been better. We decided to come the other night and sit by the bar. I'm not sure if he's a new bartender but I never seen him before. He was so rude and never acknowledges you. When talking to him he keeps what he's doing and never looks up at you. The martini was not good at all. And I always come here for the them. Maybe he was having a bad day but not good. Hopefully when we go back he's attitude is different. Oh and they added an administrative fee. Did not like that read more

The food and service was excellent. A group of 15 of us went for two birthdays and we had a great time. The crab cake was perfectly cooked and melted in your mouth. The octopus was good but a bit over cooked. I had the wagyu striploin and 5 cheese Mac. The striploin was perfectly cooked to a medium rare and was tender and juicy. The Mac was okay but a tad bland in my book. The restaurant was packed for a Sunday night but we also had the basement to ourselves due to the large group. The gentleman at the front was so sweet and explained the steaks to some of the guys in our party. Definitely will be back! read more

Food wasn't as good as expected. Service was great. Ambiance was good, the restaurant decor was nice.

Let's start out by saying the service was awesome! Our waiter - the sophisticated mustache man made us feel welcomed and made great suggestions. The tomahawk was delicious! The interior is classic old school - well done. Date night for sure:) read more

Hmmm. Not too good of a service. 0/10 for presentation. I would serve my serve better at home than this place. So not appetizing . Overrated I dunno . I prolly was expecting too much cuz of the price you have to pay. read more

Authentic steakhouse in Bayside! Family oriented restaurant that is perfect for special occasions. Location: It is located in Bayside. The restaurant is cozy and lot of seatings. There is street parking and also municipal parking nearby. Service: Our server is nice, he kept asking if we are enjoying the food and if we need anything. Food: PRIME BONE IN FILET MINON: the steak was well cooked, it was juicy as well. They asked you if you need fresh ground black pepper. My only thing is that you have to order the side separately. For the amount of the steak its quite pricey. STEAK FRIES: perfectly fried and it was crispy. LOBSTER MAC and CHEESE: omg this was the bomb! It was soo good! There are bits of lobster and the cheese is so gooey good! WAGYU KOBE MEATBALLS: another good food here! The meatballs are juicy and the sauce is a perfect match! JACK'S SHRIMP SCAMPI: the shrimps are cooked perfectly, but the sauce is the the star of the dish! Price rating: 9/10, bit pricey for a steak. You have to buy the side separately. Will come back here and maybe order the other steak that they have. Order the lobster mac and cheese! It was soo good! read more

4.5 stars...as good as it gets. For most of us, Uncle Jacks is an indulgence. The concise, traditional steakhouse menu keeps the focus on what diners come for, and the in-house dry aging of their steak adds a noticeable difference. As all restaurants have gotten more pricey, its to be expected that this is not a budget experience. Wines start at $65 per bottle, and even without alcohol it's hard to drop less than $100 pp before tax and tip. But the ambiance, wait staff, professionalism, attention to detail and quality of the food merit the $$$$ price tag. Three of us shared a bottle of Chianti, appetizers, salad, a porterhouse, and sides, $140pp including tax and 20% gratuity. Highly recommend. For a special occasion, a special meal or just a treat, in my opinion, Jack's is among the best. read more

We made reservations via Seated for 6:30pm on a Thursday - the dining room was around half-full when we arrived, and we were seated immediately. The interior is a little smaller than I expected - decorated in a more traditionally elegant style - and there are a handful of booths for outdoor dining as well. We ordered a Caesar salad to start; I ordered the 8oz boneless NY strip for my entree and my friend the 8oz prime filet mignon; and we also had a garlic mashed potatoes on the side to share. Salad was very, very average. The lettuce, the sauce, the (somewhat odd) single, large crouton - everything was bland and just quite mediocre. A nice touch, though, was that even though we didn't ask for it, our server kindly arranged for it to be served on two plates for us to share easily. My NY strip was not bad - cooked nicely to medium-rare as ordered - and generally had a good, tender flavour. My cut had a little too much fat but other than that, I was pretty happy with my steak. My friend's filet was great too - juicy and tender, with that nice sear all around. Garlic mashed potatoes were really heavy; not bad flavour per se, but after a few bites it became more and more difficult to swallow. All in all, not a bad meal, but I think definitely way, way more expensive than warranted. We both ordered the smaller 8oz size, so of course we weren't expecting some huge steak on our plates, but ultimately the portion size just didn't seem worth the final cheque amount. I'm not sure if maybe one of their more premium cuts would have been a better value, but for this price point I'm not eager to come again to find out. read more

Old school new york style steakhouse with your typical steak/seafood fare. Service was good. We were a party of 10 including 2 toddlers and they were very accommodating. We had the octopus which was tender but a bit too charred. Also got the scallop special, bacon, porterhouse for 2, NY strip, Salmon and a bunch of different sides. Definitely recommend the porterhouse and salmon! The rest were as good as any manhattan steakhouse but nothing spectacular. Prices are what you expect but overall a decent place if you're craving for a traditional steakhouse without the trek out to the city. read more

I found myself at Uncle Jack's for an educational in-service for work. I like attending these since it gives me a chance to learn something new, network, and more times than not try a new restaurant. I am admittedly not a big steak eater, but will indulge when at a steakhouse, so off I went. Uncle Jack's is located on Bell Blvd; I know this is one of the main strips of Bayside, but I am not too familiar with all of the eateries on this block. From what I saw, there seems to be a lot so a return visit is definitely on my agenda. Anyway, walking into Uncle Jack's, it instantly gave me old school vibes. The decor was somewhat masculine with a dark color scheme, similar to other steakhouses I've been to. We were seated downstairs in a private room where that decor continued. Since this was an in-service, we were given a prix fixe menu. I decided to start with the house salad which contained the usual salad components. What made it stand out to me was that it was dressed in an almost Russian-style dressing which was atypical of restaurant salads (to me, at least). I got the filet mignon as a main; it was seasoned well and overall was a good cut of beef. It came with sides of mashed potatoes and creamed spinach which were very tasty. Dessert was a sampling of mousse, cheesecake, pecan pie, and molten lava cake which were all very good. Service was friendly, and the food came out at a good pace relative to the presentation given; I've been to dinners where this was not the case, so kudos to Uncle Jack's. While I don't normally gravitate to steakhouses, Uncle Jack's has piqued my interests, and I wouldn't be against returning if given the opportunity. read more

Went here to try something new. Steak was overcooked and my filet mignon was cut in half to make it thinner? Seemed odd. Did not like the garlic mashed. The corn brûlée was pretty good but bacon on top could have been smaller and spread over the top instead of a few large chunks. The crème brûlée was good. Save your money and go to a different steak house if you want steak. read more

It's been over a year since I last ate at a fancy steakhouse. I was so excited to finally dine in and dusted off my shoes. The Covid pandemic has reduced me to working from home as I traded my work shoes for a comfy pair of bunny slippers. My feet have lost the sensation of how it feels to walk in shoes again. I found myself walking awkwardly on Bell Blvd like a toddler taking their first baby steps, but I digress :) Uncle Jacks was definitely worth dressing up for as it wouldn't feel right eating a steak in a pair of shorts, tank top and flip flops. I made reservations via the "Open table" app which was a breeze to use. Bill, the maitre d was pleasant and greeted us warmly as he checked us in and performed the Covid dine in checklist which encompassed checking our temperature and ensuring we filled out our contact tracing information. The interior from the walls, ceilings and floor were upscale as it looks like they didn't spare any expense. Dino was our server and his service was impeccable. The menu is pretty typical for steakhouses. We ordered the: 1. Crabcake - The crabcake was on the smaller side and the large plate only made it look smaller, but the crabcake was moist and flavorful and the remoulade type sauce just tied everything up together nicely. 2. Cesar salad - simple but delicious. 3. Porterhouse for two - Perfectly seared and cooked medium rare. The strip and the loin section had a beefy and delicious flavor, the au jus just gave it that extra kick of moistness 4. Side of cream of spinach and garlic mash potatoes - what's not to love? 5. Cappuccino - smooth and perfect way to end a delicious meal 6. Vanilla ice cream and chocolate lava cake - This was complimentary as we were celebrating our wedding anniversary. The cake was decadent and delicious. All in all a first class steak dining experience provided by a talented group of people who make you feel like family that like each other :) Uncle Jack provides an exceptional and noteworthy dining experience that you and your palette will not regret. read more

As a big meat lover who's tried steaks at many different places, I had been eager to try Uncle Jack's Steakhouse for quite some time. We finally decided to give it a go for my girlfriend birthday, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to expectations. We ordered a variety of dishes: the 90-day ribeye for two, ribeye for one, filet mignon, and the New York strip, essentially a bit of everything to sample. Some dishes on the menu didn't have prices listed, which I didn't mind as long as the flavors matched the premium vibe. I asked for my steak well done, but it arrived medium well. I had to ask the waiter to cook it longer because it tasted a bit raw, and even then, the steak was still bland, with little to no flavor, which was a major letdown. My first bite wasn't what I had hoped for, and I quickly started to regret having so much steak left to eat. The service didn't help either. The waiter seemed rushed and kept coming over to clear the table and hand us the check, making the experience feel less enjoyable. As expected, the prices were high, the flavor didn't justify the cost. Everyone in our group felt the same and complained about the lack of flavor in their steaks. Most agreed this would be their first and last time at Uncle Jack's. Even the birthday girl, who didn't have to pay for her meal, was disappointed, as she had high expectations for the place. Overall, the flavor needs to significantly improve or the prices need to come down to match what they're offering. read more

It doesn't seem like this restaurant is interested in building a loyal customer base. We ordered the porterhouse for two, and it came out completely burnt. It was so badly charred that one or two end pieces literally crumbled like charcoal. The pork chop was dry to the point of being inedible. The baked oysters were buried under a thick layer of cheese, making it impossible to even see the oysters, and we think one of them didn't even have an oyster inside. The desserts were inconsistent--one had strawberries while the same dessert served to someone else didn't. It was clear they weren't putting any care into their food or presentation. On top of that, there's an administrative fee that essentially forces customers to tip over 20%, with the minimum being 18%. The service was okay, but the food was terrible. We definitely won't be going back. read more

Stopped by with my daughter at 4:00 P.M. asked Bill the Maitre d if I can place an order to go, such a gentleman he said of course speak to Dino and place your order. Dino another Gentleman asked if we could be helped, I told him my order, double checking with my daughter if that was what she wanted. Lol 13yr old you know how they are.. I placed my order told Dino I'll be back at a certain time he said no problem. I came back 20 minutes sooner I sat at the bar and had a cocktail Dino made sure my food to go was timed with me finishing my cocktail, very professional. Bill and Dino had some great conversation and were great hosts while I was killing time. Very class act, I highly reccomend this establishment. Brought home the food still hot and ready to go, a porter house for 2 cooked perfect to my preference, cream of spinach with nice portion of spinach/ more spinach than cream which i prefer, and garlic mashed. time to dig in I took a bite of each dish and I was very satisfied.

The steak was cooked to perfection as per our request. The sides were a perfect portion. Will definitely go back!

Was actually a little disappointed with Uncle Jacks, the service was good. The food left room for improvement. (I only ate there once, so maybe xo I should give it another shot before I leave a review) I don't know but as far as first impressions the ambiance was ok. I just felt the food wasn't exactly up to par with there prices. I would leave it maybe 3-1/2 stars but since you can't leave 1/2 of a star I'll go with 4! read more
