    I've dined in several top steakhouses all over NYC & Long Island for decades. We decided to stay close to home and have dinner at Uncle Jacks in Bayside last Sunday 10/25/26, I made a 630pm reservation. We were seated by the hostess and greeted by our waiter Sergio. He did a great job setting us up and telling us the specials. The four of us ordered a round of drinks and some appetizers to start. For our entrees, we ordered the Big Jack Burger Medium Well and the porterhouse for 3 ($250!!!), Medium. The steak was a bit undercooked, but edible. The burger was Mid Rare. We sent it back but all they did was throw the whole platter in the oven because the actual meat was still rare. So keep in mind, Medium really means, medium rare & Medium Well still means medium rare (I guess). Legit steakhouses have to nail the temperature of meat, that's steakhouse 101! She ate the crispy outer layer, I wasn't sending it back again, I ate the mid rare burger because the steak for three at $250 was really for 2! Sergio apologized and treated us to a small dessert sampler. He was very nice. My real issue is about the food and lack of value. I've eaten at Uncle Jacks Bayside several times since they opened, this was less than impressive. It unfortunately a fact of many steakhouses since COVID, 20% increase in prices for 20% less food.

    It was a wonderful dining experience. Everything was delicious, our steaks were cooked perfectly to order, the service was great…friendly, attentive but not intrusive. We live in the neighborhood but slept on this gem. We look forward to returning.
