The layout and decor in this restaurant is fairly good. The staff are friendly and the service is good. Little bit expensive for a steak and for what you get but you do get a all you can eat salad bar and there is plenty to choose from so overall you can get a pretty tasty meal. I have had... More

Recently dined here, feeling like a steak and reading some reviews Jail House seemed like the spot... Tuesday night and it was fairly full and busy, there was a degree of choas but I was fairly quickly shown to my table and presented with Menu. As mentioned I came here for a steak, and I have no problem paying for... More

Had a great meal with the family at JailHouse grill. Food was great, kids ate well and the service was fine. No problem to recommend a return visit.

Had a great steak at the Jail House Grill. We went for the small cut luckily as that was more than enough to eat along with the all you can eat salad and veggie bar (although we had had a rather large lunch). My only complaint would be that they charge extra for the sauce which we weren't expecting. Not... More

The perfect steak as always - highly recommend the Eye Fillet with Diane Sauce. Good selection of wines to suit all tastes. Good service. Lively atmosphere.

It's nice to get a perfectly cooked steak with a pepper sauce that doesn't pay lip service to 'pepper' - it's got a nice flavour and there are actually peppercorns in it. Love the roast spud even though I'm not a potato person and usually give them to my better-half. We've been here several times though now know to be... More

Before I even read any other reviews...I am going to say it how it was...how i saw it! We had a booking for 3 at 7pm...Upon arrival it is absolute chaos on the street outside (a busy corner) with vague disillusioned and annoying pedestrians ( most of then customers just left or about to enter) taking up all the foot...
