Craving Steak at Jack's Place

I've been craving steak lately so on the odd day that hubby came home early from work we decided to eat at Jack's Place at Nex Shopping Centre.

I haven't eaten at any Jack's Place for a couple of years. I can't even remember when the last time was. 

First thing when we walked in, the server said to us something like Have patience with us tonight if we are slow to take your order.  Hmmmm...well although I commend him for saying that, the way in which he said it seemed a little impolite and insincere.  It wasn't even a full house...so how slow can they be?

Anyway we settled on the food below. Hubby and I both ordered the Rib Eye Steak which was (Thank God) done perfectly!

NZ Silver Fern Farms Ribeye Steak $23.80++
The only let down was the hot plate wasn't sizzling. But if it was I guess the steak would've been overcooked.

The biggest let down of our dinner was Caelyn's food from the kids menu.  Kids menu doesn't mean it should be tasteless and hers was exactly that.  It was Spaghetti and Chicken Chop. Really how can you go wrong with this dish.  It was worse than what you can get from a Western Stall at the Hawker Centre.  Spaghetti had no sauce at all and had no taste. Chicken Chop was under seasoned and would have been good with a sauce or gravy. 

Kids Menu Chicken Chop and Spaghetti with Apple Juice $7++ 

It wasn't a cheap meal either at about $80 for 3 of us.  If it wasn't for the steak and perfectly cooked jacket potato I would've said its not worth it. 

We also had the lobster bisque which was not bad. About $4.20++

This...is garlic bread....I know it's a multigrain bread, but how come it tastes so stale???

And we added on Onion and Rings and Curly Fries $5.90++.
