Ecco Lounge

After a disastrous attempt to eat at Prison Brews, we were now overly hungry, annoyed and impatient. Fortunately, the second we walked in the door at the Ecco Lounge we were well taken care of. Their host spotted us before we saw him. We were seated promptly and the wait staff was quick and attentive. My daughter saw the Moose Burger and pretty much ordered it for me. I am glad she did as I was delicious. Cooked perfectly and the prime rib on top was a great add. The fries were fantastic and they nailed the Long Island Ice Tea and my wife's Tito's and Lemonade. Both drinks were strong, but very good. The onion rings were big yet crisp, light and tasty. The fried mushrooms likewise had a nice crunch and a great flavor. The building is definitely rustic, which is great, but make sure you go in the front if you have trouble with steep stairs. The only slight issue we had are the booths are bit small side to side. My wife and I bumped elbows a few times. I'm definitely a broader fellow, but my wife is classically slender. Fine for families, but if I was here with 3 guys in business it would have been uncomfortable. Good news is they have tables in the back so not a major problem.Overall it was a great experience and definitely saved the day for us.

The hubs had been here several times, but I had not been yet. It has been on my list a while and his kids live here and have never been. From the outside tou wouldn't think much but on the inside, you can feel the history.The food was fantastic, large portions and VERY reasonably priced. Kudos to the owners who have been able to provide quality and keep reasonable prices during such a tough time and the surge in inflation.We got a full order of onion rings and they were monsters. I've not had batter that good and they were fried perfectly and weren't dripping in oil. I got the ABIY medium rare burger and added a slice of provel cheese.it was cooked perfectly and was a. Abundance of flavor. Other items ordered, per recommendation from Lala, was the Beer Battered Chicken sandwich, Grilled Chicken sandwich and Prime Rib sandwich. SO Good!Lala was fantastic! She made sure we had everything we needed, made great food recommendations and was super sweet.If I lived here, it would be my go-to for a burger. And I would definitely go to Ecco over fast food any day!

Fried mushrooms Salmon saladCheeseburger n friesAll very goodGood serviceJeff City landmark!

Best service I had in a while in any restaurant I ever went to whenever I travel. I am a restaurant manager and work for a local known company in the DC area and I was so wowed from the moment we walked in and to we left. Host greeted us and took our drink order and our server was very attentive and very personable. The energy in the building was great. Order a French dip and my dad and step mom order a prime rib sandwich.I haven't had a good French dip in a while. From the service to the food, I highly recommended this place if you are visiting or in Jefferson City. Definitely coming back when I visit again. Thank you guys for a great experience!

Friendly, relaxed dining. Good food. We always enjoy our visits. We like that they have a special each day.

Prime Rib sandwich was tasty and Au jus very flavorful. The service was quick and friendly. Highly recommend!!

First visit to this spot was a fair disaster. Salad was lifeless and somehow a burger and fries got burned badly (well =/=cinders). There wasn't enough time to redo the meal (I had to go) but management refunded me.My friends said the place is really good and has been a JC staple for decades so I thought I'd give it another try. Good meal, this time done right. Pricing isn't bad either. I suspect your experience might be more like the latter than the former. They have a pretty expansive menu for a pub, and a lot of stuff available to drink. No dessert menu though. (It *is* a pub)Place was quite packed ten minutes after I got there and seems to have a steady group of regulars, with the staff routinely stopping to chat with them. Noisy atmosphere overall but not a bad one. i think I'll come back for the rubber match. 6.7/10

The chicken sandwiches was perfect but the waffles fries were room temperature. The restaurant/bar was nice and I liked reading about the history of the bar

New to the area & love to adventure into 'local favs'. I read the reviews & had to try it out. The fried mushrooms, catfish sandwich with ĝinormous onion rings, yum! All exceeded my expectations! I may become a regular here

I was very disappointed with everything. I chose to try this place out for my birthday after reading the reviews. When my family and I, a party of 5, got there there was any kind of greeting. When we got to our table we were asked what we wanted to drink and had to ask what drinks they had because it wasn't on their menu and I had to ask specifically what they had besides bar drinks because I had kids out me. Then when the waitress came and introduced herself she never mentioned the special offered for that night. When we ordered there wasn't any mention of equipment being down that would delay receiving the food. We had 2 kids meals, a sandwich, and the prime rib dinner. When I received the salad that came with my dinner there was a hair in it, and they apologized and got me a new one. However, after an hour and a half of waiting we were finally told that they only had 1 fryer working so the kitchen was backed up. When the food finally arrived my prime rib wasn't medium like I ordered, it was medium well and room temperature. The fries that my family received weren't even hot. I let them know that I had ordered medium for the prime rib and it wasn't medium or hot. They apologized and said they would take money off, but they only took a small amount off which was basically the 2 kids meals. They did give us a coupon for 1/2 off appetizer and $2 off our next visit. I can guarantee there won't be a next visit especially with how expensive it was even after taking some money off. Not a place I would recommend.
