I love Jack’s. It is a CLASSIC steak house. It’s the kind of place that I imagine John Wayne would have liked. It might not be for everyone, as it is totally old school and not some new fancy place. But if you want the best steak around, then show up, put your name on the list, have a dirty martini or two while you wait to be seated, then chug some salad while your steak cooks (the salad is basically liquid blue cheese!) And then enjoy an awesome steak. I’ve been there for a nice evening with my wife, I’ve been there with my crazy friends after a week of camping, and just about any occasion in between. I’d go as far as saying that it qualifies as one of Northern California’s true hidden gems. I’ve seen a few bad reviews, which is why I’m writing this one. What those reviews all have in common is that they went in there with expectations of what they thought it should be. Check those expectations at the door and experience what it is.

I think this is an amazing steak house, however it is not for everyone especially if you don’t like dark lighted loud restaurants. They have the BEST steaks I think I could get from anywhere, they come out just like how I asked it to be and has great service always helping as much as they can. Its usually pretty busy and might be a bit of a wait but makes up with the food.

We’ve been coming to Jack’s for a couple decades, and the place hasn’t changed. Wish there was covered outdoor dining for winter months, it’s just so cramped in there it’s like you’re almost walking on top of people. If you have a big group like over 9 then you won’t be at the same table. Steak was cooked great but for filet seemed a bit fatty, with bigger fat veins going through it. The drinks are always on point and love the bar area.

Please ignore all the three stars-and-under reviews! And for that matter, the four star reviews. These people all have their heads up you-know-where.

This place is hopping busy, but we got a table almost immediately. Very friendly, a little noisy, but in a good way. My steak was excellent (10oz New York). We will be back!

We walked out before ordering. The waitress was rude and the atmosphere was absolutely unenjoyable. No soft music or any music whatsoever. Complete silence. Everybody was scrunched together. We were told 4 adults & 1 small kid couldn’t sit in a booth, so they sat us on a huge 8+ person table where we had to really raise our voices just to talk to each other from across the table. This place doesn’t deserve its 4.5 rating. If you want to pay up for a nice meal, we recommend finding somewhere else.

The service is wonderful and the drinks are Strong in the best way. But the “salad” is absolutely drenched in nasty dressing, the butter tabs are cold and hard to push into the potatoes, and they do Not believe in seasonings. Jacks is a staple place for Redding though and I believe everybody’s gotta go at least once. Just be aware you will be overpaying for what you get because you’re not paying for a great steak, you’re paying to eat at Jacks. Beautiful little spot for a first date or something.

This was ‘Old School’ at its’ finest! What a great place and EVERYTHING was perfect. Too many places try to be chic and end up having no soul. This place has been around for almost 90 years and it wears it well. We got there at 4:30 for an early dinner and by 5:30 the crowds started to arrive. We both had the ribeye steak and they were cooked perfectly. The baked potato was very good and the salad was a killer!

Old school vibe with a perfectly charred, medium-rare/rare-medium steak. Choose your cut and know that you’re about to eat one of the five best steaks in your lifetime. This modest restaurant has been open longer than you’ve been alive, trust that they’re doing it right and enjoy the ride.
