jak's grill

the salmon sandwich was amazing. they need to dust!

my favorite ribeye. this is just a great steak place. great service every time i have visited and one of the best ribeyes around. be sure to check for hidden gems in the specials.

horrified!!. went to jak's in issaquah for a dinner meeting because i heard the food was increditble! was not informed of the no seat until all the people in the party have arrived policy until it was too late. however the extremely rude and disrespsectful hostess had zero problem letting us know about their "policies". this just started what would be follwed by without a doubt the worst service i have ever experienced in my 36 years of being alive. i can honestly say that i have never written a review in my life but after my experience at this joke of an establishment has left me no choice but to tell my story and hopefully i can save the next sucker from coming in and contributing to a company that truly has no clue how to deliver proper customer service! i think because the restaraunt is located in a small town there is a sense of arrogance that comes along with the idea that you are the best thing in town (obviously far from reality). after oredering appetizer myself and the party of 8 business men and women gave the menus back to our server and we were asked "so your all just ordering appetizers?" again as rude of a comment as i have ever heard at a place with the prices and expectations of this place.. we explained to her "no we are ordering food but we have decided what we would like to have". still kicking myself for not leaving right that very minute. the food, once it finally arrived was undercooked (no i did not get asked to cut into my 60 dollar piece of meat to make sure it was cooked to my specifications) but i did not send it back as the time it took to arrive was simply ridiculous. after eating our meal and being neglected by even sizzler standards we made our final mistake!! we ordered desert which would end up taking another 45 minutes to arrive!! the simple truth is i am a very busy guy not just at work but at home and the reason i am writing this review is to hopefully save the next group of people interested in dining at this place to truly think again. i do not get time to myself often and i can truly say that dining at this place did nothing but ruin my mood!! i wish i could take the $900 dollars i foolishly donated to a company i have no desire to return to. i pray that the terrible service comes back on this place ten fold as their attitude and demeanor just simply do not cut it. hopefully people start realizing that despite what jak"s thinks there are tons of really good steakhouses out there with similar prices that would treat a party such as mine like gold and in our economy hopefully jak's can learn what true customer service really means.. as big a thumbs down as can be possible!!!

brunch is awesome!!. i have never been disappointed when i visit issaquah. a lot of that is due to the fact i always have at least one meal at jak's grill! this time, i was introduced to the jak's bene at sunday brunch!! you have just got to try this wonderful adaptation to the standard egg's benedict. it will have you coming back for more!!!

two thumbs down!. ate there once what a joke. prices sky high, you couldnt even breathe so many people. big as a walk in closet. no thanks!

cowboy ribeye .... outstanding

after a nine year absence (we moved away) we gladly returned to jak's for a fathers day dinner! it was amazing to find that the hospitality, food and service were still outstanding!!! we left. steaks and fish were perfectly cooked, vegetables crisp and vibrant, and potato pancakes like my pennsylvania-dutch grandmother used to make! thank you jak's for an outstanding dinner!

don't listen to any of them!. anyone who says anything but the highest praise for jak's grill is very mis-informed. i am a steak fanatic and my favorite restaurants are jak's grill and the metropolitan grill, and despite being half the price, jak's is every bit the big league steak house the the met is. there are 10's if not 100's of thousands of residents in issaquah and sammamish that would wholeheartedly agree, which is why there is about a 60-90 minute wait to get in after 5pm every day they are open. the steaks are the highest quality and grilled perfectly. the sides are incredible! i could go just for the roasted vegetables, i kid you not. these guys take pride in everything they put on a plate, and they believe in the highest value - shown by their super reasonable prices. are you looking for an awesome steak house, these guys are downright cheap! have you every eaten at an awesome steakhouse, because 98% of them have awesomely high prices (i know, i'm a steak fanatic)! not jak's! i have lost count how many times i have been back, and how many people i have taken there who have adopted it as their favorite steak house. oh yeah, and don't forget the people. they don't rush you at jak's, it's an experience. the beautiful old wooden decor, the thick wood handled steak knives, the low lighting sparkling off the crystal clean stemware, the warm delicious bread and rich soft butter, the tall ice cold beer, the voluptuously fresh and crispy salads, the life and buzz taking place throughout the intimate setting, the care in taking your order and delivering it to the right person without question, the huge sizzling steak surrounded by lusciously seasoned roasted veggies and the so intensely flavored garlic mashed potatoes or crispy potato cakes......aaahhhh!!!! don't get me started on dessert!
in all seriousness, if you are looking for a casual dinner out and you have $20 a person to spend, yeah, jak's not your place. if you are looking for an amazing dinner of steak or salmon and a wonderful experience, look no further. it's a hometown gem, and you won't regret it!

steak dinner 3/3112. for a specialty steak house my meal was disappointing. i had the chef's specialty, top sirloin, and it was extremely tough. couldn't chew or cut through it. they bought me some drinks to make up for it, but i didn't go there for the drinks. i was seeking a good steak. will not return. i get better meat at fred meyer....seriously.

good but not great. we enjoyed our food for the most part but it wasn't as tasty as i expected or the price indicated. it is good enough though that i'm sure we can find a set of dishes that will please each time.

mixed review...... the place is too small... difficult to get into.... one must show up at 400pm to 430pm in order to possibly be seated.... it is overpriced in my opinion..... however.... the food is good and the garlic mashed potatoes are heavenly!!!!

as for me, i like the skewers served with the baker with the works. the skewers are a bargain at jak's grill, but don't be fooled. this brochette of new york & filet pieces is seasoned with moroccan spices and topped with gorgonzola sauce, delicious!

this place is not ok at all ! cheap meat cheap sides ! just another get in fill em up and getem out .

darned good meat. i think this may supplant daniels as my favorite steakhouse....i know there are arguments for the best steakhouse in seattle and whatever you do, don't leave jaks out of the discussion. its more homey, welcoming and all around fun than the other big ones. less pricey too....i've found the issaquah location tough to get into but have never had a problem with the seattle location....go to jaks. have a steak, and a nice bottle of vino and tell em, joey sent me in....

breakfast-yummy. the best bloody mary i have ever had. the potatoe pancakes make any breakfast here a real treat, so good i drive from everett for them.
