triple j chophouse & brew co

a little history for you: the triple j chophouse opened in 2006. the historic building was once the hub city brewery for 11 years. we also have learned at onetimeit was a glass company. if you know any other information about the building, let us know! i did not know what to expect from the atmosphere or the look of the restaurant. the first thing that caught my eye wa

interesting decor. fun atmosphere. ribeyes were cooked to perfection the creamed spinach was excellent and my family loved their sides as well. our server, kenzie was very attentive and made ourtimeenjoyable.

bad kitchen. triple j's has a nostalgic connection for me. they have finally embraced the advantage of having crafted beers. the kitchen however is another story. the menu is good. the execution is questionable. i have some friends on the wait and bartending staff and they do an excellent job. my problem is with thetimeit takes to get served and i haven't had the best of luck even ordering something as simple as a hamburger to go. as i pay my tab for food i didn't receive and walk toward the exit, a person saying they're the manger asks what's wrong. the kitchen was texting when i walked by hungry. if he was a manager i would assume he would examine ticket times....

worst service i have every had. we have gone to triple j's three times now and eachtimethe service is horrible. the wait staff complains about everything within ear shot of the customers, they run out of beer and their management doesn't seem to care... its too bad, because i really want to like the place given that it is one of the few micro-brew places in town that also serves pretty good food.

we went and ate at triple j's for the firsttimelast night ( i know, we never get out!) and loved this place, granted the wait was long about 45 minutes, but we decided to stay, since i really wanted to try it, but a long wait is usually a good sign anyways, and at 6 on a friday night what else do you expect? we got to enjoy the beautiful building/scenery, and enjoy a couple of micro-brews, i got the stout (or 3) and my wife got the wiet bier and they were fantastic. and very well priced. we finally got to our table, and considering how busy they were trent our waiter was very attentative, and very personal with us, and did a great job considering he had 5 tables. (all full). i got the prime rib, my wife got the pork chop, both were great, i am not a fan of sweet potato fries, but i must say, my wife got some on her plate and they were by far the best ones i have ever tried. i must say, i am a huge fan of harrigan's prime rib, have been for years, but i would say triple j's has just topped it, and this will be where i go for prime rib for now on. i highly recommend this place. granted it gets busy, so if you're not willing to wait either come early, or on a weekday, but i don't mind, i got to enjoy personaltimewith the wife, and enjoy a great beer!

go for the beer and entertainment. you gotta get there on fridays at 6:00 pm, no later than 6:30 or you can't find a seat. mannie rodriguez entertains most fridays. awesome!! drink the wheat beer. the food differs fromtimeto time. i had a salad with crispy chicken. was wonderful. they've failed on the steaks, though. the salmon plate is very good.

disappointed (could be good, but wasn't). i was very disappointed with my experience at triple j. things started off smoothly, the waiter was friendly and the atmosphere was pleasant. however, things went downhill once we received our meal. someone besides our waiter (i am assuming a manager) brought the food and it looked great. my dish, the honey & pepper ribeye was great. however, my friend, who ordered a medium 7 oz filet cut into his steak to find that it was practically raw. our waiter, who it appeared had been assigned too many tables, could not be found for at least ten minutes, and when we finally flagged him down, he agreed that the steak was terribly undercooked. he took it back, and brought the same steak that had been recooked back about 5 minutes later (it was cooked, but didn't taste good), and by thistimei was finished. our waiter, then could not be found for another 15 minutes. we finally got our checks and got out. no manager came over to talk to us about our experience, and no compensation for the experience was offered.

good food, great beer, fun atmosphere!. good choice for lunch - i take customers or meet others there whenever i can find an excuse. so much better than the national chains that dominate most of the city. the food can be a little inconsistent, and the service slows to a crawl when they're busy, but overall i usually have a nicetimethere. the choppy bob nachos with wonton chips and chopped brisket is a good appetizer. the honey pepper ribeye is a flavorful steak, and the chocolate something for dessert finishes things off nicely. but the best thing they do at triple j is brew beer - the irish red they're serving right now is one of the smoothest drinking beers i've ever had.

very good beer and atmosphere, i ordered the cedar plank salmon which was maybe not the best idea at a steak joint. however i wanted to test their range the salmon was dry and overcooked and the steamed vegetables were a bit raw. the meal was still good just not great for the price. i will go back and have a steak nexttimeand hopefully be able to give a better review. two stars for the food and that is because i really enjoyed the micro brew.
