The Take
Jesse's Steak and Seafood delivers on its 1980 promise with hand-cut USDA Choice beef charbroiled to order. The rest of the menu leans into the usual old-school traps of breading and mystery oils.
Prime rib and filets earn the praise while fried seafood and chicken cordon bleu drag everything down. Ask for butter on the shrimp and you might salvage the coastal side of things.
The Verdict
This is the place for old Florida prime rib and filet done the classic way. Everything else signals the usual restaurant compromise on oils and breading.
The secret move is requesting butter instead of default oil on steaks or shrimp. Order the charbroiled prime rib or filet with baked potato and side salad.
