Been awhile. Yes it’s expensive. Yes we love the staff and train. I for got what I ordered. A burger with no bun but they call it something else. It was awesome. With a salad and mashed potatoes and dark gravy. Kids are there meals. Mac and cheese looked weak but who cares. My martini could have used a bit more to top it off for the price. But it was delicious. And our waitress was awesome. So another five star !

Sat outside. Was so nice. The trains were entertaining. Service was great. Efficient but not hovering. The fried mushrooms are homemade not freezer to fryer. Server recommended the ribeye. Cook was perfect. Nicely but not overly seasoned. The homemade carrot cake was fantastic. The only two flaws, were the potato could have been hotter, and the coffee was not up to the quality of the rest of the meal. But I still ate and enjoyed the potato, and drank the coffee.

I guess maybe it's our fault since we didn't get a steak. I just really wanted to try the chicken fried steak, and my husband tries everyone's tenderloin. The breading food not stick to the chicken fried steak at all. Each cut had it falling off, they had the baby in a bowl and when I dipped my steak in there, the beading would fall off. My husband didn't care for the tenderloin. I've never seen him only take a bite or 2 and push it away. The twice baked potato we each got were very good. I loved the beets! Waitress was great at first, she was back to refill drinks and check on things. Then she kinda disappeared and we had empty glasses. Nothing irritates me more in restaurant. We will be back to try the famous steaks and have another potato!

Such a lovely evening to be able to try the yummy steaks at this popular restaurant with family. Glad we made reservation and it was full of people when we got there. I ordered the ribeye that came with salad and big twice baked potato. I am usually not a big fan of baked potato but the one I had was the best one I had for a very long time( just forget about the calories!🤣). Everyone was happy with the food and really enjoyed at the restaurant. The price is not insanely high like some restaurants that also serve same type of food within 30 miles.

Great history and great food. We had the ribeye and it was very delicious. We also had the twice baked potato and buttered mushrooms. Loved seeing all the pictures and plaques on the wall of the family and the loyal customers.

Wow this steakhouse knocked it out of the park! Jessica W was our sever and she did a great job with the service. The rinks The onion rings were seasoned so well, and freshly hand battered. We got the ribeye steak, with a baked potatoe that could feed a family of 4. We ended the dinner with the BEST homemade pie that had fresh slices of apples, handmade crust , ice cream to top and put you to bed for the night. My biggest regret is not checking out Jess and Jim’s steakhouse sooner, as a local neighbor of 5+ years.

Stopped by on way home to Tennessee on the reviews from Google. We hit it at 3pm. The place was empty. Our meal started with pickled beet( a lovely surprise ) they were wonderful. The salad with homemade dressing was good. The 14oz strip steak that came out sizzling on the plate was a show stopper. It was coupled with green beans for me, mashed potatoes for the hubby which were both good. He finished with key lime pie, I couldn't force another bite i was so stuffed. There was a nice wine and beer menu which we didn't sample due to continued driving on interstate towards home. Great meal in a family run establishment.

The best part of the Ribeye steak dinner I ordered for 49.99 was the raspberry vinaigrette dressing that went on the salad and the appetizers we ordered extra. The salad was okay–nothing I would crave again, and served with no cheese. The steak was grainy and undercooked with very little seasoning no real marbling, but plenty of chewy gristle–blek. We love steak and ribeye is our favorite. We order it everywhere and never waste a bit, but we left this steak on the table. The breaded mushrooms and Gouda Mac-n-cheese bites were BY FAR the stars of the night!!! The building smelled old and musty, but the tables were nice. The bathroom wasn’t the cleanest and smelled bad. But the service was fairly good. We aren’t drinkers. So, I cannot rate their alcoholic beverages. We won’t be back. It’s not worth the price tag or the drive for us. We spent $330 for 7 people to eat a steak dinner without any extras and I left food in a napkin because it was that bad. For the price, pay just a few bucks more and make reservations at Hereford House instead.
