J.W. Heist Steakhouse

My boyfriend and I came here for dinner for our one-year anniversary. The resturaunt accommodated my seating request on the reservation, and the service was fantastic. We had two soups, two cocktails, two entrees, and shared a dessert. It was affordable and very impressive. I suggest ordering one of the composed plates for your entree, as those come with sides and a beautifully plated main. We will be returning.

Came by JW Heist for my brother's mini-bachelor meal. For a group of 8, we ordered a lot of food: beef tartare (2) at $22 ea french onion (2) at $12 ea wedge salad $16 heist salad $14 MT Tomahawk (4) $190 ea -3 medium rare, 1 rare fried brussels $12 grilled broccolini $8 baked potato $12 corn pudding $15 whipped potato $8 all sauces $30 grasshopper (2) $14/ea butterscotch budino $14 ea pray tell $90 a bottle (2) coors light $6 baked alaska flambe $14 Auto gratuity for $241. Also, surcharge cc fee for 3% ($43.38). Waived for cash/debit. Would have been nice to know. Didn't see any signage. Helena was friendly and accommodating as our server. Tomahawk...we liked the rare one more than the medium rares. I do think the consistency of the steaks could use some work, since some medium rares were more cooked than others. Seemed like street parking only. We uber-ed there. Overlal, nice spot to grab a decent steak!

Jordan and Porter were amazing service! The guys grilling were friendly and showed us our steak beforehand! We ordered scallops, mushrooms, Brussel sprouts broccolini and the famous tomahawk for 2. As you can see my friend really enjoyed the steak and the bone was phenomenal. Definitely get a reservation!

My first experience in September with Lindsey as our server was awesome so I was excited to go back. I had Jameson as a server this time and he needs a lot more training. I ordered a filet medium with house steak sauce and Brussel sprouts and a cocktail (of which I wanted a second one but Jameson disappeared). Easy enough. It took nearly an hour for my food to come out (I went after 8 so it wasn’t busy) and the steak was well done and the Brussels were horrible with the stems still attached. I waited 15 minutes for a server to check in or walk by to ask for a correct steak and no one ever came. I was so hungry by then I began trying to eat it, though it was so dry it was nearly impossible even with sauce. Jameson showed back up about a half hour after I had gotten my food to offer to box what was left. I took the steak home for my dog. It was such a horrible $100 experience I definitely won’t be returning again.

We walked in. Service was friendly but not really present. Drinks were good. Beet Salad was the highlight. We got the tomahawk, shrimp cocktail, heist salad, and asparagus. Everything was underwhelming. The steak took about 55 minutes from ordering. Totally understand that tomahawks are longer cook but it wasn’t that busy and the steak came medium. Didn’t have the heart to send it back and wait another hour so made due and fed it to the kids for a breakfast steak and eggs. For the price point it’s nothing special.
