"The Kozlak family has provided the people of Northeast Minneapolis a classic steakhouse experience at Jax Cafe since opening in the 1930s, at the tail end of Prohibition. The 14-ounce grilled pork chop with a side of sizzling cinnamon apples is a must-try, but start your dinner with any of Jax’s seafood dishes: The jumbo shrimp cocktail and oysters on the half shell are a solid choice for appetizers, as is the seafood tower." - Natalia Mendez
"The old-school supper club has a stellar happy hour special: a prime rib sandwich and Grain Belt Nordeast tap combo for only $14. Other food specials lean into the restaurant’s 90-plus year heritage, like discounted versions of the beloved chicken pot pie and jumbo shrimp cocktail. The bar-only happy hour is offered Wednesday through Sunday from 3:30 to 6 p.m." - Alex Lodner
"Jax Cafe is serving a traditional Thanksgiving dinner for $52 per person, including soup or salad, roasted turkey, sage dressing, cranberry sauce, whipped potatoes and gravy, roasted yams, corn O’Brien, and pumpkin pie. A downsized version for kids is available for $20. Many of the restaurant’s regular menu items will also be on offer, including jumbo shrimp cocktail and steaks, plus some seasonal specials like oven roast pheasant and butternut squash ravioli." - Stacy Brooks
"Jax Cafe’s meticulous garden patio offers a refined, old-school vibe to match the classic American steakhouse menu." - Justine Jones
"Steeped in almost 90 years of history, classic Jax Cafe is now run by the third generation of the Kozlak family. The restaurant offers several rooms for various party sizes — all have a stately, old-fashioned feel (roaring fireplaces, velvet curtains, etc.). The menu features classic American fare like pork medallions, herb-roasted halibut, or chicken with wild rice." - Alex Lodner
