For the price of the meal...and the meal itself...stupendous...highly recommended to anyone or families...and you don't have to wait long for your t-bone steak...
Love the food!! They never disappoint me, must go on a empty stomach lols!
In comparison to other joints in the realm of $12 pub dishes, J’s is best in terms of price, value, speed of food, portion size, sauce and accompaniments (chips + salad).
You really can’t compare this to proper steakhouses as it’s like comparing Prada to Kmart. People come here really only for the sauce and salad dressing and massive portions to feed an entire family on a budget so it’s a winner.
If you want a cheap and fat feed, definitely come to J's Kitchen.
J's Kitchen have a few menu items (e.g steak, kransky sausage) that are just $12 for a massive portion of chips (or rice), salad, complimentary sauce, and your chosen protein. Sometimes they give you two pieces of steaks! There are also some other menu items that you can get such as chicken schnitzel at a higher price.
P.S: Get the dianne sauce.
Massive portions, extremely affordable and located at an easily accessible area. The restaurant is always bustling with people which adds to a vibrant ambience. You’ll leave feeling satisfied and in a food coma.
Quality wise the food is alright for what you’re paying. Since it’s always busy the workers are quite tired and such the service may not be 10/10 which is justifiable and understandable.
You get more than your money’s worth here (although I’m not sure how long that’s going to last because the price goes up by $1 each year). Aside from that, the salad dressing is the absolute highlight!!! The chicken schnitzel is fried beautifully (nice and thin, not too oily and without too much crumb). Always love to go back for a hearty meal every once in awhile.
If you're a student, or someone who's on the low then J's kitchen steak house got your back. With 12$ meals all week round. But heres the best bit, if you're slightly hungry yall should get the kids menu $5 meals. These includes a kids menu fish and chips which includes a battered fish and chips. Probably the most budget restaurant here.
Another things is their milkshakes, although its just syrup based shake and can be slightly sweet. I have discovered that they have green tea milkshake and to my surprise they taste exactly like matcha milk tea stores you purchase from milktea stores. For a steal price for 3$ the drink is quite cheap. There's also a special where if you purchase a meal then you get 50c off you're milk shake which is basically a $2.50 add on.
OVERALL:
Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a cheap meal or a snack. Cheap drinks and free iced water at your disposal. Friendly staff
CONs
- cannot bring any food from outside in the restaurant
Over the years J’s Steakhouse has definitely died down of the craze it has for the past couple of years. However upon entering the restaurant stairs on a Saturday night, the atmosphere was still busy buzzing with people.
Service was fast and efficient even though they were jam packed with customers. I ordered the lamb chops and my boyfriend had the steak. It was a generous dish filled with 3 lamb chops, chips, salad and mushroom sauce on the side - they definitely don’t hold back at all! Although the lamb was tender and the chips were crispy, I actually live for the mushroom sauce and salad dressing which I always find myself craving after some time. My boyfriend also enjoyed his steak where it was cooked perfectly.
With paying $11 for delicious hearty meals, we cannot complain. We both left J’s steakhouse almost in a food coma and we’ll definitely be coming back when we feel like we’re starving. I recommend for anyone who’s looking for a cheap and filling meal!
Absolutely love this place, big portion size and a budget friendly place - very affordable. You can replace the salad with rice and the meat is cooked very well. Very busy at times but fast service.
🥩 Ambience: Looks like the inside of a nursing home kitchen.
🥩 Staff: Very nice. However waited 20-30mins for my dish.
🥩 Beverages: Glasses of ice water are free, jugs of water for the table have a fee, buy one jug of coke to be eligible one free jug of water. Also has a juice bar.
🥩Food: for $12, delicious and worth the wait. Impressed with the big portions. Salad complimented the steak and the chips were on point.
Would recommend.
Too overrated to be honest. In my opinion, the hype isnt up anymore. The food is affordable even though the price has slowly increased by a $1. Would still come to enjoy the lamb chops as it is my personal favourite. However the salad doesn't taste as fresh, I could be wrong as I always come during the night and they always provide new fresh salads in the morning.
Very fast, affordable and portions are huge! Its the right amount of messy and unhealthy for a visit every few weeks. Ordered the kids meal twice, and honestly, even the kids meal left me feeling very full.
Food was great came out nice and hot. The pork chops were good and grilled fish was delicious. Calamari was nice my daughter loved it. Overall all was good 5 star. Also it wasn’t as busy here.
Awesome steak and pork however the price just went up. It usually busy hence plan ahead. Services offered is top nosh and I will definitely recommend you to pay them a visit
Great food always a family favourite. Service is friendly and fast. Place is clean and a lot of seating aswell. Good place for the whole family.
Huge portions for the price, tastes great. Been here a few times and never had a bad experience food wise
I been to this place a few times for dinner. Their portion sizes are huge and food is delicious. Price is fairly reasonable. My go to dishes are the chicken boscaiola in first and the chicken fillet as my second option.
Overall 8/10
