Wonderful steak platter for $20!!! Yes, a real ribeye. Looks more like a dinner than a steak house, but tasted like a steakhouse

If you haven't tried this place you're missing out.. I try to eat here once a month (only because I drive a truck for a living and only home two days a week), and the food is amazing every time. It's a small family owned place with great food and great service. Anything from the fish to hamburger steaks, or even the steaks, I've tried it all and it's all good.

Been here several times. Not one single complaint. Small simple salad bar but always fresh. Steak, pork chops, hamburger steak, it's all good. Next trip I'm trying the fish and shrimp.

My husband and I are camping at piney grove campground and heard Uncle J's Grill was definitely a great place to eat. We ate dinner there around 5pm and let me just say, friendly people!! Immediately greeted, we chose where to sit, server got our drink order and was so pleasant. We both chose their ribeye steak and the salad bar. Ingredients were fresh and yummy. Steaks came as we finished salads and were cooked to perfection! They made us feel welcomed and happy to chat. The entire restaurant was so clean and inviting. Their prices are extremely fair! We highly recommend and we'll for sure be back. Oh, and by the time we were leaving, it was filling up! Thanks for a great meal!

The 12 oz ribeye was one of the best steaks I've ever eaten. The Mac and cheese was very good and the salad bar was very well stocked
