Jack's does steaks really well. The hole-in-the-wall retro atmosphere may not be everyone's cup of tea, but you come here for the steaks and cocktails and not starch of trendy eateries. Be prepared to wait in the bar if coming before 8 p.m. and you'll be rewarded with a steak-lover's steak. While not fantastic, the salad, sides and garlic bread... More

The steaks are delicious, the top sirloin very reasonably priced-and served with a green salad drowned in yummy blue cheese dressing. Have to get there early to get a table. Its dark... More

If you want a little of Redding's History and a Great Steak try Jack's Grill. It opened in 1938 and has always been the go to place for a great steak.

The place opens at 4pm and on the weekends there is usually a crowd... More
