Tasty Tidbits: Uncle Jack's Steakhouse


Uncle Jack's Steakhouse, (www.unclejacks.com) with three locations in NYC and two in Manhattan (34th/Ninth-midtown Manhattan; 56th/6th-midtown Manhattan) uses the motto: "Where The Customer Is King". And king-sized portions best describe their fare, whether it is food or spirits. The sixteen-year-old USDA "prime" beef and seafood house founded by executive chef Willie Jack Degel has some sizzling summer specials sensitive to the economic downturn. Peachy Deegan thinks the surf and turf pictured above are especially enticing.

A Notable Favorite:
There's a two pound broiled, chef-prepared lobster, an exciting table presentation which comes with an ear of corn and a side of Willie's famous garlic mashed potatoes for $30.

There is a sizable, very tasty cajun rib-eye steak with potatoes and veggies, also $30. Weekdays for lunch there is a changing list of sandwich plates, some as inexpensively as $10! Recession-adjusted for today's business lunch, Uncle Jack's Steakhouse offers both fabulous entrees and amazing prices for what you get.

While there is no pattern to it, many times customers at Uncle Jack's Steakhouse will be treated to a dessert sampler at the conclusion of their dining. And, young kids eat free at Uncle Jack's Steakhouse on Sundays!

Of course, Uncle Jack's Steakhouse is best-known for its double-porterhouse for two...Willie Jack Degel's interpretation, a luscious, fine piece of beef both aged and charbroiled, so that the juices and rich flavors are oozing out. Carnivoring here becomes a memorable experience, $85.

Uncle Jack's Steakhouse makes ample use of its elegantly appointed bars staffed by experienced, credential bartenders.
