Jack’s Place brings back some nostalgic memories, as I used to visit it frequently during my younger days for their steak, which I remembered being pretty good. Over time, the standard dropped and I eventually stopped going—until recently, when my mum noticed their new Wild Wild West menu. With the reasonable pricing for steak, we decided to give it another go.
We went for dinner at 6.30pm, and it was pretty empty, so there’s no need for a reservation. The steak is served on a hot iron plate, so I’d recommend ordering it medium rare—the heat continues to cook the meat even as you eat.
The steak quality was decent, especially for the price point. The baked potato was slightly soggy on the skin, which was a little odd, and the butter with mustard sauce didn’t carry much flavour, but it wasn’t unpleasant either.
Overall, Jack’s Place at JEM is a value-for-money option if you're craving steak without the premium pricing. I’ll definitely consider returning to try their lunch set next time.
