| - Jack astors has been my go to place lately. Many of my friends and I have been playing catch up these few months and I always suggest coming to this Jack Astors.
The main reason for always coming here is surprisingly because of their steak. I know, it sounds crazy, but for a chain restaurant they have GREAT steaks. Now I've only ever tried The Classic, so I can't really say much for the other steaks on the menu.
Jack Astors has once again changed their menu for the 100th time but luckily for me, it's in my favour! Up until a few weeks ago The Classic would make you choose between a 7oz steak and 11oz (I believe). Then you'd have the option to add veggies for an extra $3 something. NOW, for the same price of $22 something, The Classic offers you a 7oz steak, garlic mash (which I prefer more than the loaded mash) AND veggies. Score for me! Let me tell you, they always cook my steak to my exact liking (medium) and 4/5 times, the steak has not been chewy. You know, chain restaurants can tend to have low quality chewy steaks, but not here. Kudos Jack Astors. If you're on a budget but craving a good quality steak, this is your place.
On my most recent visit I also decided to get the brownie baked inside of a cookie for dessert. Because I am a fatty, I HAD to add ice cream to this. How can you have a warm cookie and brownie without ice cream? Preposterous! It was only an extra dollar to add ice cream. YOLO. I ended up only eating the middle part of the cookie aka where the brownie was. The edges were slightly over cooked and hardened a little too fast. I'm not a fan of hard crunchy cookies. Anyways, the soft parts I ate were delicious and with the ice cream it was perfection. It sucks I had to waste half the cookie though.
Like I mentioned before they've changed up their menu so if you weren't a fan before, there might be something now to your liking. Although I find their menu pretty diverse already. And of course, try the steak!
