Mountain Jack's

We had the best experience at this Mountain Jack's! We drove here, 3+ hours, out of pure nostalgia! As a child I remember my parents going to Mountain Jacks in Portage, Mi for so many of their special occasions! I got to tag along, since I was the much later born baby of our family - what a treat of the most amazing proportions that I had no idea at the time how blessed I was!! Fast forward at least two decades, I've recently lost the last of my parents , I'm doing some random google search one day and come across a Mountain Jacks, still in operation?! I was SHOCKED and oh so surprised, in the very best of ways! My husband started to plan a time when we could go together. He started by calling and speaking with the sweetest lady who is the owner of this location. He ordered a gift card for me as a surprise and she mailed it with a sweet, handwritten note. I was so delighted to see that piece of mail arrive with that very familiar Mountain Jack's logo!! We ended up planning a date night away and made our way down to Mountain Jack's on a recent Friday night in February. We didn't make any reservations and only had to wait about 10 minutes for the most lovely table! (We arrived around 7:30pm) You can head to the bar for a drink while you wait if you'd like! We ordered a couple of cocktails and soon the hostess came to take us to the most comfortable spot which was a cute half circle booth in the back! My husband and I both loved our spot for the night! Soon after being seated the most lovely waiter named Michael came - he was absolutely top notch the entire time evening! He had excellent suggestions and made just the right amount of very kind conversation throughout our meal! Couldn't have asked for better service! The first thing Michael brought us was a very perfect round loaf of fresh, hot bread with butter! Yum!! You know a meal is going to be good when it starts with hot bread! ;) We started by ordering the crab stuffed mushroom appetizer- delicious!! Great choice! Each entree comes with two sides AND soup or salad! My husband and I both ordered the salad and just like I remember from my childhood, it comes out on this huge circular platter and the waiter makes a personalized table-side salad for you! This is the most amazing concept! I love a salad bar, which it seems like no one has anymore, but this is even better than a salad bar! How could this get any better?! Homemade salad dressing choices!! Michael offered us a number of house made dressings! The ranch was delicious and this salad did not disappoint!I ordered the prime rib with au gratin potatoes and sautéed green beans. My husband ordered the Black and Bleu ribeye with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Both of our meals were ridiculously delicious but I have to say his ribeye was our favorite and I never order a ribeye steak!! ;) SO, SO good!! After our meals Michael brought out a dessert tray! I haven't seen this done in YEARS! I love a visual dessert tray and it worked! We ordered dessert, but probably wouldn't have had we not laid eyes on all of the glorious options!! I wanted a sampler platter dessert, but alas, I had to pick only one!! We landed on the mile high mud pie and it was - once again - over and above our expectations!! We sort of splurged on this experience - ordering an appetizer, multiple drinks, meals, dessert, etc... we don't do this very often. But when our bill arrived we were both shocked at the value! I'm not a numbers person, I don't add things up as I go - I was so pleased with the total cost, even after ordering every single thing I wanted!! GREAT PRICES!!! We drove all that way just for a meal at Mountain Jack's! It was worth every penny and we are already planning our next trip down! I would say we are foodies - a good meal with a good experience means a lot to me. One without the other can ruin the whole evening! Mountain Jack's is my new favorite spot - they hit the mark in every single area! Thank you for such a wonderful experience!! Can't wait to go back!!

Mine of the best filets I have ever had; it was so tender I could cut it with my fork. The wait staff was awesome as well.

We went here for a quick dinner on a recent stop over off the interstate. My wife and I both ordered French Onion soup and a glass of wine. The waiter brought out two bowls of a Cheddar or some other type of soup and we both looked at it and called him back over, saying this sure didn't like French Onion Soup. He apologized and took the soup back. He then returned with two new bowls of the same soup! Lol. We told him we ordered French Onion soup.....so he trekked back to the kitchen and on the third time brought out the French Onion soup! Somehow he must've had the other soup on his mind that night. We all laughed about it. The soup was great. Wine was good. Nice looking restaurant. His service was good even though it took a while to get the right soup!

A favorite of my families. The food is always wonderful and great service! We frequently go for special occasions!

Great food, fab portions! Make a reservation! They were super packed and busy. The salad is great, comes with a selection of items you can add in your side salad. Loved the freshness and variety. The potato and bacon soup was also really nice. They are known for their prime rib and I split a standard cut and there was quite a generous portion. We also had a rare ribeye that we had to send back due to overcooked. The second ribeye was perfect and the slice was thicker, so it was a great seasoned ribeye.The calamari appetizer was thick cuts of breaded calamari on a bed of red cabbage, onion, and bell peppers, so not the usual calamari with a marinara sauce.

Food was delicious and prices were very reasonable. Warm cozy atmosphere, great service and delicious food. Can't ask for anything more.

Hands down, best restaurant in the area. Celebrated my commencement from Purdue, and my, "after finals" meals here. Their appetizers are incredible, especially the spicy shrimp. Their prime rib is some of the best I've ever had, and comes with delicious sides. You have to try their potato au gratin. I also love the various soups of the day that come with the meals. It's impossible to leave this place hungry. They also have a nice bar, and all the servers are great. This is a must if you're looking to go out for a nice meal in the Purdue/Lafayette area.

This place is fantastic. I'd never been and went with colleagues for a casual dinner, one of us was craving a steak. I'm so glad we went and can't believe I've been sleeping on this place the whole time I've lived here. Our service was excellent and answered a few questions we had about the menu. We ordered the crab stuffed mushrooms to start and they were delicious. The table side salad might have been one of my favorite dining things ever! I love a good salad and the fact that they had sunflower seeds in the options was awesome. My steak was cooked perfectly. I was really happy with my side selections: rice pilaf and au gratin potatoes. I'd order them again in a heartbeat. The turtle cheesecake was a shared dessert and I was so pleased at the excellent texture. It managed to be lighter than most of the heavy commercialized recipes you find elsewhere. All in all, a great spot. Looking forward to my next visit.

Went there with family and we were discriminated on by the owner of this establishment.I'm not usually one to cry racism, but the owner made us feel very unwelcome.It originally started with the cashier carding one of us. Which is fine, the person I was with have their identification at the time. So, one of us went back to our hotel to get it.Came back, showed it to the cashier.The cashier left and came back with theowner.He told us that the card was fake and tried to take a picture of it. That's when we got our things and left. He wouldn't even give us his name.The service was poor, and if you're a minority, steer clear.The restaurant owner is a short older looking fellow with glasses, looks almost identical to Dr. Fauci.VERY RACIST.Here's the address 4211 South St, Lafayette, IN 47905
