Wow, what a great experience! We went to Tanner Jacks on a really busy night. The restaurant is a bit small, but the friendly host/hostess (there were two people at the door) told us the wait would only be around 15 minutes and we were welcome to get started on drinks in the bar. We were a little skeptical, but... more

Wow, what a pleasant experiance. Start out with the freindliest hostess greeting you as you enter (sometimes its the owners wife) to the warmest nicest and fastest bartenders in town. You are welcome to eat at the bar or in a cozy private booth. The beef is second to none, and all the fixins are outstanding. On any given night... more

Now that Jack sold the business to his son, it's obvious he didn't pick up any pointers on how to treat the public. Like other posters here we frequent T.J's but not for long. The prices went up and the quality went WAY DOWN. Not sure what's going on but they better fix it fast or they will be out... more

This was our third trip to Tanner Jacks. First trip the NY steak was fatty and hard to chew. Second trip the filet mignon was overcooked and hard as a rock. Third trip we sat at the bar for 20 minutes and were completely ignored... as if we were INVISIBLE! We walked out and nobody working there said a thing...... more

Great BBQ

This place has the best tri-tip I have ever eaten. Absolutely wonderful. We also had the salmon, which was excellent. Service was fast. There was no wait for seating even though we were there on a Saturday night---I don't expect that to continue for long though, this is Arroyo Grande's best-kept secret. Will definitely be going back. SIDE NOTE: The... more
