Wild Jacks Steak & Bbq

This place is horrible !!! Wait staff is very unprofessional, confused, rude. We ordered appetizer when we first got there did not get that till our food was coming. My mashed potatoes were soooooo dry. My husband said he food didn’t taste too either. After we left people were talking about the restaurant told them do not go.

STAY AWAY IF YOU WANT TO AVOID FOOD POISONING! If I could give 0 stars I would! The food choices are very limited, the place smells like burnt hair and the booths were sticky and dirty. The only good thing about this place was our upbeat waiter, despite him bringing me a bacon burger with Bbq sauce all over it after I told him I wanted a plain cheeseburger as I’m allergic to pork. No big deal, I picked the bacon off for the most part. That Bbq sauce was nasty stuff. On top of nasty, cold food I walked away with a very nasty case of food poisoning (they prolly put all that sauce on the burger to cover the taste of rot.) This place ruined my Orlando
Vacation as it was my final night and it made for very «uncomfortable» flying back to New Jersey the next morning.

Ok I admit we didn’t read the reviews. We were hungry and there was no waiting. To be honest there was no one in the restaurant at 6:00 pm — first clue. You couldn’t help but feel sorry for these people. Very inexperienced waitstaff and it was all sad. Avoid avoid unless you are looking for fries — those were good.

The food was bad and service was very very very bad. When we informed the manager of our bad service, she advised «Sorry but there is nothing I can do. You will have to pay for it since you ate the food». Do NOT go there or you will regret it.

Every single review left about this restaurant is 100% correct. I don’t even know how they’re still in business. Charged for a 20oz steak that I didn’t order but the waiter says I did. Giant, horrible, fatty mess. The kids food came out way before ours and they were done eating by the time our food was delivered. Waiter came to the table twice and didn’t even fill our empty drinks. We had to ask on his third trip over. The kids asked for ranch and ONE bowl was brought for them all to share. The salads are nothing but shredded lettuce, an obscure amount of shredded carrots and 3 slices of cucumber. When I asked to speak to a manager, she wouldn’t even come out. When asked a second time, she went to the back and wouldn’t come out. This establishment is a disgrace to the food industry. If I could leave a half a star I would.

Stay away! There was not a single thing positive about this place. My food smelled like my kid’s sneakers. The bathrooms were filthy and even my wife’s water had food in it. We were completely disgusted.

Driving through the various chain eateries along the strip, this one jumps out as having potential, First signs of trouble being they are only open for dinner. Having a hankering for a good steak and american foods, we came back at dinner time. It was a Monday night of a full school week, it did not surprise me that the place was relatively empty. The atmosphere was inviting and seating was prompt. In retrospect, the greeter was obviously bored as she was leaning on the hostess stand when we walked in.
Looking over the menu, there were many selections and some fun drink ideas offered. The waitress was attentive for the most part. It did take a little while to come back and get our drink order especially since there were only two other tables in the place and two waitresses.
We decided on different items from the menu. A 10oz hand-​cut sirloin with rice and dinner salad. A classic Caesar salad with cajun chicken. Loaded fries and Mozzarella sticks from the appetizer section.
For as slow as the location was, the food took an exceptionally long time (30 minutes+), Everything was as we ordered but the presentation left a lot to be desired.
A hand-​cut sirloin steak was certainly a stock steak lacking trimming or any attention other than a decent grilling process. The meat of the steak was cooked as requested but lost a good ounce to inedible gristle. The flavor on the steak (what could be eaten) was just as one would hope, charred and smokey flavors. The rice turned out to be a plain white rice with no seasoning or dressing of any kind. The dinner salad was thrown together with some previously shredded lettuce, a ton of shredded carrots and handful of tomatoes, some cucumber slices and some bland ranch dressing. The loaded fries were frozen fries with imitation bacon bits shredded cheese and some freshly chopped chives. Mozzarella sticks consisted of six (6) each with very poor marinara sauce ($ 1.50 per stick). The only saving grace to the meal was the Caesar salad with shaved Parmesan cheese and the grilled chicken with a light seasoning.
With one beer, two sodas, a smoothie and two waters, the bill was ~$ 75. Accepting this is a tourism town, it seems a service-​based business would try harder to stand out from the mundane and do something better than everyone around them not worse.
None of us in our party would recommend this location to anyone for a good meal and a bad value for a mediocre one.

I’m pretty sure they serve microwaved generic food bought from the clearance isle at Costgo.
There was not one food item I was impressed with.
Steak — dry frozen, poorly cooked
Salmon — Pink, frozen, again tasted microwaved
Kids pizza — below lunchables quality
Sweet tea — fountain, are you fricken kidding me, this is the south
All side items were below par
Price…ABOVE LONGHORN STEAKHOUSE PRICES and not even competing on the same planet with Longhorn for quality.
The service however was incredible. Our waitress (Carmen I think) was top notch. She belongs in a much better establishment. I’m pretty sure she was psychic. She new my drink was empty before I did. She saw my wife shaking an empty steak sauce bottle from across the restaurant and straight up charged to our table Captain America style with a new one.
There are only two reasons this business is still in business; that waitress, and the fact that tourists aren’t using Unilocal

Service? Slow and then indifferent attitude
Nachos? Microwaved Tostitos made better at home
Beer? Not really cold and they need to flush their lines out. Icky after taste
Entrees? Well the $ 17 BBQ chicken was never even near a smoker. !!! Grrrrrrr
We witnessed three sets of families leave and complain all the way out the door. Wow.
Highlight was the arcade games in the entranceway (weird since this is a kinda pricey place with burgers costing $ 13.99!!)
My kids could not hear me complain over PacMan sounds.

Don’t do it, stay away. I had one of their specials (Spaghetti with meatballs) and it was very bland. I’ve had better marinar sauce and meatballs from a can of Chef Boyardee. The waitreess was friendly but completely forgot about us after bringing our food. I had to hunt her down in order to get our check.
It’s a shame as this place smelled great from the outside. Keep on looking for a better restaurant.

This place is bad. Avoid at all cost!!! I ordered fajita and it came in a small bowl with no wraps. I asked for a wrap and chef refused. I asked to speak to chef. He came and said this was a $ 10 dish and wraps cost $ 62 a case and he wasn’t going to open a case for one customer. The server was nice, but the chef was insane. I ordered onion rings and got 5 small rings on a dinner plate. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST!

I really only ate here cause I was tired of walking up and down International Dr. I should’ve walked away when I saw the place was empty, thats never a good sign. The only good thing about this place was the service, they are very friendly, and the décor. If the food had been cheaper I probably would have tolerated it, but serving mediocre food at such a high price is absurd. At least the servers were nice, it actually made up for the food. Would not come here again though.

I let my whole family down by making the executive decision to eat here. Overriding some other options. Should’ve turned away when it was empty during dinner rush hour on Saturday. Our «loaded» nachos was missing the «loaded». The ribs did come right off the bone and weren’t terrible. BUT it was rib meat with generic bbq squirted out the bottle on top after it being cooked. Very Weak for a place calling it self a BBQ joint. Oh Yes…$$$$ **OVERLY PRICED ABSURD** $$$$
The service was very good. No complaints there. Only reason place has 1 star. I’m shocked a place like this survives?
Just go somewhere else.

Wild Jack’s is certainly one of the worst, if not the worst restaurant I have ever eaten at. The food was cold, poorly prepared and overpriced. Nachos were forgettable, I had ribs and although tender, the meat was of very poor quality and the sauce was flavorless. The iced tea is from a machine, the diet coke, flat. The only bright spot was the service from waitress Daria. Despite her efforts, I cannot recommend this establishment to anyone. Stay away at all costs. If you are looking for Bar B Que in O Town, check out Bubbalou’s not far from here…

The quality of steaks and meats at Wild Jacks is decent. It would never survive New York City standards for quality and service. There are better quality of steaks and meat elsewhere.

This place was alright. The food is decent… The thing that really irks me are the descriptions on the menu.
I ordered the nachos, and in the description it said, «loaded with beef.» When I got my dish, there were tiny sprinkles of beef, like leftover Taco Bell beef scraps.
My sister ordered the sampler, which came with a «bbq beef skewer.» There were 3 pieces of beef the size of die (dice) on a skewer which was cut down to the size of a toothpick.
We also ordered the gator, which was like popcorn chicken, but gator of course. The actual meat morsels were tiny and covered in half an inch of fried batter that tasted like nothing.
Our waitress was cute though =) She was from Slovakia doing the whole work-​exchange thing and since my dad and I just visited the Czech Republic last year, we all had a nice conversation.

Ok, I only remember this from when I was 17, so things might have changed since then. It was in 2000, and there was a non smoking and smoking area, which I thought was odd since we were all from California. I was in Orlando cause I was on tour with my high school choir. We happened to walk over to this place and it was great. I had the ribs, and their sauce is the best sauce I’ve ever had… It was spicy and peppery, it had a great zing to it which I loved. Atleast in 2000 it was great.
