When my Son was 13 years old, we stayed in Chicago to watch a Bull’s Game (his favorite team) and we simply couldn’t afford to go there for dinner but I said maybe we could try something for lunch. So we went for it. I’m so happy we did because the wait staff couldn’t have been nicer. I asked about the famous 23 booth on the 2 nd floor. The Greeter stopped what he was doing and led my son upstairs to check it out and took a picture of him sitting in it along with the steak knife collection of all the celebrities who eat there. They made his whole trip memorable, just with their kindness. The lunch was delicious and I had to tip extremely generous for their kindness. So I would highly recommend it just based on the service alone ❤
Jason & crew, Love how you Experienced your restaurants at your 1st time at Mohegan Sun ! ❤️ Thank you for always keeping it real on your dining adventures! Come on back soon, to the sun, please…. We so enjoyed your visit…love ya. 😊
Always love your honesty in your reviews! You are always so generous with your tips , which I believe one should be with decent to excellent service. Keep your reviews coming! You are the BEST!!!!!
Love your comment at the end when you said tomorrow you will it again!! I waited tables over 34 yrs some customers acted like it was there last meal! It will not always be perfect! Glad to see you didn't take it out on the server.
I love your humor and the way you are fearless at trying anything. You would be a great dinner companion because the fun you have is priceless ❤️❤️❤️ thank you for sharing your meals with us!
just ate their tonight with 8 of my co-workers, have been coming here with my crew whenever they're available for the past 3-4 years - my absolute favorite, food is amazing, we share a bunch of apps' side dishes, and to see everyone's reaction " you have to try this" is just a great experience, we're planning another visit in March/April
It sounds like you had a fantastic time with your co-workers! Sharing food and experiencing new dishes together can really enhance the dining experience.
Another great video! I've learned to watch these while I'm eating dinner (rather than later at night) because the food always looks so delicious and I don't want to eat twice! I nearly choked on my beef roast when you pulled the "Whatsa matter Daddy" and I was laughing so hard because you were laughing so hard! 😂 I was waiting for you to snort-laugh 😂😅😂 You're awesome 😂
Enjoyed watching your experience. I’ve always wanted to try this spot I live 25 mins from Mohegan Sun. My all time favorite steak restaurant is El Gaucho in Aruba. I’ll never forget that dinner.
@@JasonWasTHERE I always get the same thing the roasted chicken… they used to have the best lobster mashed potatoes… appreciate the honest feedback and reviews… it should make the establishments do better.
Lmao You got me with the "matter Daddy" 😆, It made my day! Just recently found out about your "handpay UA-cam channel" but this one is amazing aswell! I'm glad i found you through the UA-cam recommendation. Keep up the great content!
The one in Chicago never lets me down when I go to town. If you ever go to Tampa, FL you need to go to Burns stake house. Book in advance. It’s booked out every time only open if someone calls and cancel. Can’t go wrong with “Burns”
Ok, 'matter daddy?' 😂😂😂 You had way too much fun with that 😁 We go to Micheals all the time but normally sit at the bar. And have not had a grizzle filled steak. So that is too bad. Hopefully if you ever get back you can give it one more try. Hope you tried Tao as well! Let us know on Jason Was There if you try the one in Chicago.
Awesome channel! You are quite the discerning gourmet with a big appetite. I follow your slot machine channel too of course but it’s nice to see you feeding yourself and your friends instead of feeding those crooked machines for a change.
Jason I would not try the one in Chicago we were not any happier when we tried it ! I agree the appetizers were good ! Love your Jason was there videos !😊❤
I got the tomahawk steak at the one at iliani in Washington and was underwhelmed with the steak too it was blue rare and for 120 for the meat was a drive by!
Thanks as always for the honest review. Really enjoy this channel! have you done any Indian food reviews yet? Not sure if you like that kind of food but it’s one of my favs! i hope to see you review really good indian restaurant on this channel one day! ❤❤
I agree on the asparagus, steamed with a little butter, salt, some parmesan perhaps, a squeeze of lemon maybe! I would have sent the steak back, asked for another one, especially at those prices! Same with the scallops. Otherwise, looks like y'all had a good dinner 😁
Jason aka King Freak! Love the review and you are correct that sometimes you catch the wrong chef on a weekday as the steak didn't look good as it happened to me at Jordans in Mohegan. I only get the Filet Mignon with garlic bread and a side of Baked Potatoes.
I never comment anywhere, so please don't hate me. I like your style, you remind me of me in many ways. You are a very kind and generous man that is for sure. I enjoyed your review very much. As you said though taking into consideration any comps, the meal seemed about a two stars for me. There is no excuse for serving a below-standard steak. You are also most right that sometimes chefs overthink food, keep it simple in some cases. Right away I felt that the oysters were wrong, they could have served Kumamoto oysters and scored an instant star. I have never been there so I can only go on what you said, but I agree with you. How was the wine, I would have enjoyed some comments about the wine. My opinion only is that the waiter paired the wrong wine. I would have suggested a Pino with the appetizers and a cabernet with the mains (Caymus, Cakebread, or Opus One). Thank you Mr. Handpay I enjoy your restaurant reviews and I promise I won't comment again. This time you were really right in your review. Thank you for sharing. Cheers.
Heading there tomorrow for our company Christmas party. Seeing the prices I can say we would never be able to afford to eat there if it wasn't for my boss.
Finally someone who knows what rare plus is. The best way to cook a great steak. We ate there five years back it was just good on some items. We even saw Michael fly in on his own helicopter followed by 10 body guards lol.
I also like the Frank Family Wines. The Jordan Steakhouse in Chicago, would not go back. Another "what's the matter, daddy" for you. Way better places out there. Enjoy your food excursions, entertaining.
What a surprise. I thought the beginning was leading to an overall great experience. When you lifted up your steak and said it was mostly silver skin and gristle i was shocked. You would think that steak would be the anything but what it was.
Thanks Jason. I could honestly see with the video the seafood tower was underwhelming. It looked like there wasn’t much meat in the oyster shells . That bread did look pretty darn good 😋. ☺️
@@JasonWasTHERE pretty good. Had a huge lobster for appetizer and the ribeye was very well cooked. But for the price, it was just a steak. Probably should have gotten some kind of special. Atmosphere super cool. Bathroom had a butler in it, I didn’t carry cash so felt bad I couldn’t tip them. That was a first for me as from Arkansas I’ve never seen anything like that. Thanks for continuing to share your experiences with us.
Hey Jason, Jordan's is good at a Casino, but if you want really good to excellent steak house at a Casino, go to The Old Homestead at The Borgata in Atlantic City. One of the better steak houses on the East Coast.
A good waiter in a steakhouse always comes back after serving the steak to make sure it’s cooked to your temperature and the cut is good. Some will wait till you cut it open. That’s the way it should be. Yes it’s 2024 and prices are ridiculous. But if it’s good it’s worth it. But if not you owe it to yourself to return it.
I saw you test the Sommelier and he passed the vibe check ✅, earning your trust for the wine pairing. You are absolutely on point with the two comments at the end; a) you are only as good as your chef. Which is a major disadvantage to an established brand when reputation means everything. b) be realistic, it's 2024, be happy you got anything. I swear to god Jason, back when you were in high school figuring out your lawn/paving business, I was busting my ass at the busiest McDonald's in MN @Dinkytown in the U of M campus in Minneapolis, where great customer service and expeditious and flawless transactions was the norm and drove workplace performance. Today's service at most spots makes one lose faith in humanity. The 🌽🏀 cornball dad joke got him looking concerned after asking I take it 🤣🤣. #GotHim Lastly, waiting for you to give 'Uncasville' a the old college try 🗣 😉 . I appreciate that you always do your due diligence on this channel and how transparent and unfiltered you are. Nice work, buddy.
Getting a bad steak at a pricey steakhouse is a big disappointment, its happened to me. Seems inexcusable, but like you say, its 2024. Seems like being associated with big casino might not be the best for great dining. Good review, keep up the great entertainment
Damn bro, I lost a bet, Told my boy you were gonna get an Old Fashion, extra sugar smashed and blue cheese olives, and he could have the field.. Well, Pizzas on me this evening..
Been there many times, the garlic bread great, why wouldn't you tell the waiter about the steak??? I'm sure they would have fixed it, or taken off bill
Hi Jason. I'm not a fan of so called celebrity restaurants it's a person's name. The food can be tremendous or just okay but you payed good money for something ordinary but the waiter was good. Thanks mate
When my Son was 13 years old, we stayed in Chicago to watch a Bull’s Game (his favorite team) and we simply couldn’t afford to go there for dinner but I said maybe we could try something for lunch.

The Appetizers were
I have met Frank. Great guy. I had a great experience at their winery.

👍We will most likely give it another shot
Jason, WELL?? WTH hell is A Matter Daddy???? LMAO?/ HAS T BE FUNNY. Restaurant looked amazing.

The look of the actual steak looks great
Bad Cut...tendons running through the entire steak

Heading there tomorrow for our company Christmas party. Seeing the prices I can say we would never be able to afford to eat there if it wasn't for my boss.
That sounds like a fun outing for your company Christmas party! It's great that your boss is treating everyone to a nice meal. Enjoy.
I went and although service was great I wasn’t crazy about the food either. I did try the bar next time and found it was better the second time.
We will most likely give it another go! Thanks for watching😊

Okay
If they offer the truffle fries, you always get the truffle fries! LOL!
Yep!
What a surprise. I thought the beginning was leading to an overall great experience. When you lifted up your steak and said it was mostly silver skin and gristle i was shocked. You would think that steak would be the anything but what it was.

Thanks Jason. I could honestly see with the video the seafood tower was underwhelming. It looked like there wasn’t much meat in the oyster shells . That bread did look pretty darn good 😋. ☺️
Garlic Bread🔥
What was the bill? Did they comp you?
Yes comped
That Garlic Bread 🔥
😊👍
I’ve been to the one in Oakbrook, Illinois. I agree with you the food was not the best. 3.5 is correct
Thank you!😊
Almost went to MJs in Chicago but we went to Hugo’s frog bar instead.
How was it?
@@JasonWasTHERE pretty good. Had a huge lobster for appetizer and the ribeye was very well cooked. But for the price, it was just a steak. Probably should have gotten some kind of special.

My favorite at Michael Jordan’s is the crab cakes
Really good!🙂

Chicago was very good,to my surprise…I’m a chef and run a prime steakhouse…try it.
Will do!
A good waiter in a steakhouse always comes back after serving the steak to make sure it’s cooked to your temperature and the cut is good. Some will wait till you cut it open.

Haha.
Fanny Bay oysters please.
Yum👍
How was the bread. Bread with oil? You know.
It is impossible to make a mistake with that. Maybe
when i am at MOHEGAN, i prefer BALLO'S. reasonably priced and good ITALIAN food.
Added to the list! Thank you😊
Food is lousey there! Cedars burkes better cant debate !
😊👍
Been there many times, the garlic bread great, why wouldn't you tell the waiter about the steak??? I'm sure they would have fixed it, or taken off bill
We were in a rush... Thanks for watching!😊
The issue with so many of these places is the celebrity has nothing to do with them. They just franchise their name for a fee.
😊👍
I’ve eaten there more than once thinking it might change, it’s very average. I get comped but I would not eat there if it wasn’t comped.
Agreed!
Hate it when u order a rare steak and it comes raw! Theres a great difference between rare n raw, duhh to the cook who can’t tell the difference!
Agreed!
no French onion soup ??? 🤣😂🤣
😂😋
Hi Jason. I'm not a fan of so called celebrity restaurants it's a person's name. The food can be tremendous or just okay but you payed good money for something ordinary but the waiter was good. Thanks mate

Send that gristle thistle back next time!!! Everything should be proper, if not perfect, at a high end place like this.
