Jacks is a small place on the corner of front street in issaquah washington. It has some of the best skirt steaks i've ever had for the price. They aren't the cheapest, and may not be the best over al...

I've never had a bad meal here. The best steaks around and I'll measure Jak's against The Met, Ruth's, Flemings anytime! The wait sets the mood, great drinks, crowd adds to the ambience. Small so get there...

If you enjoy an excellent steak, relaxed and non-corporate environment, and affordable prices then you'll love Jaks. Try the filet mignon, Mac & Jacks marinated skewer, or one of their fish dishes. ...

This is still the best steak I have ever had. The place is very unassuming, but for reasonable (steakhouse) prices you can get a nice sized filet with a side of potatoes and a full sized salad. The wait can be...

make sure you get there early, or are prepared to make an evening out of it. They don't take reservations. Many many times I have waited 2 plus hours to be seated. Don't worry once you taste the steak, it is...

Steaks are excellent and on par with the Met, Daniel's Broiler, etc., while pricing is closer to the Keg or Outback. Shredded cheddar and garlic mashed potatoes are awesome. Negative reviews regarding wait...

Of all the steaks I've had anywhere (and that's a lot!) JaK's Grill rules the roost! There may be a wait to be seated, and should be expected on Friday and Saturday, but it is worth the wait. The bar is well...

Very tasty. We consider it better than the Metropolitan Bar and Grill. Although small, arriving early and they will accomadate a slightly larger group of 8. Highly recommend it, if you are in a steak and...

If you are looking for tasty steak at a reasonable price, you have to go to JaK's Grill. Get there early, because it gets crowded and there is a reason why it gets crowded.

but the best steak around. I've been to Jaks in Issaquah numerous times and have NEVER had a bad, or even marginal, experience. Yes the wait can be long, but if you come later and expect to wait they also have...

JaK's cooks up mean steaks for a fraction the cost of local high end steak houses. The wait can be absolutely ridiculous at 2 hours, but with a bit of planning I don't think it's such a big deal. I find it...

you will not bother going anywhere else for a steak unless you enjoy overpaying. try the potato pancakes, you will not be disapointed.

This is possibly the best steak in the area. I love JaK's. The only problem is they don't take reservations and unless you show up right when they open, you'll have to wait a while.

The worst thing about this place is it is always busy so you have to wait and service is not the best. Having said that, it is one of our favorites. Where else can you get filet, baked potato and a salad for...

The filet is the most tender, juiciest, flavorful steak I've ever had. Portions are generously sized (petite steaks are 9 - 10 ounces), and are aged perfectly. The garlic mashed potatoes are unbeatable....

JaK's has always been a favorite of ours as the eastside location is close to us. The steaks rival those of the steakhouses in Seattle but less expensive. The only problem now is the possibility of a longer...
