Jesse's Steak & Seafood

We moved to the Brandon area in 1986 and found Jesse's to have good food and a great neighborhood atmosphere. We often run into friends.
Anyone over 50 that lives here has probably eaten the "Jesse's Special", a very large ground steak with shredded lettuce and mushrooms and no bun -- a low carb diner's dream.
Jesse's has two bar areas and ofen people get their drinks while waiting, and if they find a 'first come-first served' table in the bar, will eat their meal there. Their wine glasses are filled -- not portion controlled!
The place is known for its prime rib and other steaks. Their filet is a bit pricey, but they only use the best meats.
My wife and I like to have the crab appetizer -- 3 large cakes for around $10. If we each get an appetizer and a house salad, we can eat for under $30, 20% tip included.
I'm waiting for the food channel to feature Jesse's on "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives."

I eat here a few times a month. Great steaks!! long lines at times, so I go on Tuesdays and just walk right in.

I just went to eat a Jesse's because a white friend of mine invited me to join her. The crowd there was ages 50-65, and they were incredibly rude. We over heard multiple tables use the word nigg*r and the table to the right of us said to me you know damn well you don't belong here. The waitress was even shocked to see that I was there although she said nothing. Her wide-eyed facial expression said it all. I had the chicken sandwich, and it was ok. My girlfriend had the Rueben and it gave her an upset stomach. The prices were reasonable and the staff overall were friendly. Maybe I went on Klan nite, but I definitely will never eat there again. Pay close attention to the artwork on the walls next time you visit

The prime rib here is great! the service was wonderful and I wouldn't change a thing! The additions to the meal were fantastic. I loved the bread and the seating didn't take too long. We got there before the dinner rush, and we did have to wait, but only for about 15 minutes. I highly recommend this place.

I think Jesse's got it's great reputation from the older folks who like to eat there, but I've never been impressed with the food. I will say, the hamburgers are good and that's about it. The crab chowder is tasteless and their side salad is mostly just the white part of the lettuce, gross. They are friendly there, but the food is nothing to brag about.

Jesse?s is one of my favorite places to meet and eat. I?ve been going there for 3 years now. The steaks are great ? prime rib fantastic ? fried shrimp one of my favorites. You've got to try the Jesse's Special - awsome! They serve the best broccoli anywhere - when the cook is willing to prepare it :(. Quality drinks; 2 for 1 before 7:00. Bad news for beer drinkers - must pay full 3.75 per bottle :(. Yes, sometimes there is a wait. Don?t rush - go to one of the two bars and enjoy an adult beverage ? with or without alcohol. Thumbs up!

Jesse's USED to be good. Since owner, Mr. Da'mico doesn't seem to be involved , the staff has changed, it's gone way downhill. As a single, 'straight' woman, I've recently been treated with total disrespect by the female staff & the food just isn't what it used to be. In fact, it stinks. On one occasion, I ordered the Greek shrimp. The salad & bread were old, the shrimp were overcooked, dry & tasteless. The Greek seasoning was like dust. On another occasion, my male dining partner, for his birthday, ordered the prime rib. It was cold as ice.
That's not counting sitting a 6'2' man in a little itty bitty chair near the doorway. Ruined that birthday dinner.
Never received any birthday celebration, even tho I called ahead.
I tried again to frequent the restauarant on my birthday. Ruined my birthday too.
Refused to serve me, even tho I have a $30 certificate from prior inciidents. On my birthday, no less!
Years ago, Jesse's was great. We all were there every Fri night since 1988. All the business guys did a big lunch on a regulaer basis.
I personally don't care what anyone's sexual preference is. Evidently, they do.
Beware, all you straight women out there. don't go to Jesse's or God forbid you complain of the quality of the food. Which, by the way, went way downhill.
I'll take my biz and hard earned $ elsewhere.
They can keep their rude, lousy attitude & substandard food.

Considering the fact that I was in the restaurant biz for many yrs, I find it appalling.

WE HAVE BEEN GOING TO JESSES FOR YEARS, WE STARTED GOING FOR THEIR FAMOUS PRIME RIB, AND HAVE NEVER BEEN DISAPOINTED, BUT NOW THEY HAVE ALL YOU CAN EAT
SHRIMP AND CRAB LEG NIGHTS, THEY ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!! WE WONT GO ANYWHERE ELSE
THEY ALSO MAKE THE BEST MARGARITAS I HAVE EVER HAD.
NEEDLESS TO SAY JESSES IS OUR FAVORITE PLACE TO EAT, WE MOVED OUT OF TOWN FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS AND WE WOULD SCHEDULE OUR TRIPS BACK HOME AROUND BEING ABLE TO GO TO JESSES. IT REALLY IS A GREAT PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!

been going to jesse for years, started for their prime rib which is the best anywhere, now the all you can eat shrimp on thurdays and the crablegs on tuesday are fantastic!!!! we have to alternate weeks, we are regulars and wont go anyplace else!!!!

Jesses is known for a number of things, but those I have spoken with had never heard of their Tuesday Night "ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT" crab legs. Jesse's does not serve the typical spindly legs found in most places. These are large, sweet, succulent crab legs - some of the best I have ever experienced! At first $24 for crab may seem a bit pricey in Brandon, until you experience it ONCE. You will be rapidly convinced it was the best priced meal you have ever purchased!
