The Scene – The namesakes, two ex-waiters from Peter Luger, have decorated their restaurant for the elderly set: The floral upholstery, gilded artworks, etched glass and frou-frou wallpaper come together for a vaguely Southern, somewhat Vegas, anywhere-but-midtown feel. But the crowd--honeymooners, silver-anniversary couples, bachelor groups and gaggles of middle-aged women--is pure New York. – – The Food – The kitchen knows the culinary secrets of its former employer so well that a blind taste test could convince diners they were at the Brooklyn original.

OK at Best - Not the Greatest Steakhouse
by aleahing
We decided to give Ben and Jacks a try. I've definitely been to better steakhouses. The waiter was nice, but forgot to give me my mash potatoes to go, which was disappointing. The steak was decent, but I prefer Ruth Chris. The ambiance was tacky, in fact there was a big hole in the bathroom stall.
Frankly, I expect more, and have gotten much better for a meal that costs $200.
- Pros: Good Food
- Cons: Tacky Ambiance, Forgot my Potatoes; Not a Good Value

waay overrated
by rdd5555
this restaurant is waay over rated. the tables are crammed together so you feel as if your having a community meal. we had two filets. one we had to send back because we ordered it med rare and it was brought to use med to med well. the steaks were tender but tasted dry if that makes any sense... it was definietly not impressive or mouth watering. the service was really slooooow. finally the oddest part about the meal is that i called ahead and told them it was my bf birthday thinking they would bring out a small cake or sing or something...anyways after getting there i reminded the waiter about the birthday.. finally after not getting the typical birthday response (cake) we decided to order carrot cake. the waiter brought the carrot cake out with a candle in it and charged us for it. :).... i would with out a doubt choose ruth chris or some other well known steakhouse over ben and jacks if you want to guarantee your going to have a steak that is worth remembering.
- Cons: you dont get what you pay for.

If you love steak....
by CookThis
This is a great NYC Steakhouse. Went for a work dinner and we had a blast. Steaks were perfect, seafood was divine. Get the bacon as a app...sooo good. Wine list was perfect for steak. Jack even came by the table to say hi and he gave us a round of afterdinner drinks on the house. I wish they had baked or mashed potato but it didnt make a difference. I would say this is on par with the top steakhouses in the city.
- Pros: Steak and seafood tower
- Cons: No mashed potatoes
