we were there Saturday for my birthday dinner five of us. I ordered the pork chops because they are usually excellent. These were not the regular pork chops. They serve and they were so tough. You could barely chew them. My son ordered fish. It was so dry it was awful and a very tiny piece and quite expensive. My daughter-in-law ordered seafood pasta. She said it tasted horrible. It was like there was chopped up fish in it and the actual meal was kind of gray looking. My granddaughter did not get rice with her dish as listed, the only one OK was my sister the waitress was not good at all she never refilled anything never asked us how things were nothing and the restaurant was not packed. I go there quite often, mainly for lunches about every two weeks and the food has been going down and down where it came to the point that we had to send stuff back because it was in edible . they have lost all of us as customers and everybody we tell

First experience here was so so. Got the burger and prime rib sandwich, both of which were supposed to come with soup, and neither did so that was a big disappointment. Secondly the prime rib sandwich was gross. The mast tasted nasty and the bread wasn't as expected. The burger was delicious though. Coleslaw was good too. Just wish I didn't have to try to get the soup now.

The food, portions and value are pretty good. The wait staff can be hot or miss, but I would put that more on management for not training (i.e. knowing menu/specials, checking in once in a while, laws for packaging remainder of wine bottle, etc.). Not a USDA Prime steakhouse, but decent. Would love to rate higher, but honestly only deserving of 3.5-4 stars in my opinion.

Was pretty freaking crowded for 5pm on a Saturday, but right by movie theater so may contribute to the crowd. Def make reservation, even if you don't think you'll need it. Good food and plentiful. Most dinners come with warm loaf of bread, soup AND salad, and sides with dinner. Always loved their creamy garlic dressing. Salad was fresh, but main dish came out not a minute later and I literally had to hold my salad plate to eat it due to all the stuff on the table (not that I don't love bread and soup, but they need to work on pacing between courses). Steak was delicious. Also, a big fan of their onion straws because they are a great addition to soup, salad, steak or a stand alone appetizer. My dinner companions enjoyed their cheesecake dessert....not sure how they had room for it, as it is impossible to leave this place wanting for more.

First time at a Jameson's in over 10 years (no joke). My wife and me. Went on a Friday night - today, about 6pm. Soup, salads came out very quick. An hour later the mains came out. My wife's burger was ordered medium rare, was served well done, and was room temperature, fries were cold. I ordered the small filet medium rare with a baked potato and asparagus. Filet was cooked to temp, but seemed that it sat for a while before it was served. When it got to the table, it was about room temp. Asparagus was cold. Potato was the only thing hot.While we were waiting for the mains, I'm noticing the kitchen is prioritizing take out orders over in house.We expressed out concerns to our server who was really nice. Front of house manager never came by.Offered a comp dessert for the trouble.Would not return. Go elsewhere.

The food was old and cold. My salmon was loaded with bones and tasted very fishy. ?
