    Service was Fantastic as usual and food is generally very good but this time the strip was very fatty, the filet was chewy and not right the first time. The rolls were warm on the outside and cold in the center

    Food is nothing like it used to be. Hate to say it but it is no longer worth the price to dine here. Now it’s just a trip for the sake of nostalgia, and even that isn’t worth it anymore.

    Typically we love Janko’s. Last night was OFF. We were initially sat at the table adjacent to the broken ladies bathroom where staff had to hold the handle shut so that patrons wouldn’t get locked in, which was loud/distracting/and quite honestly too close for a table to be positioned next to a bathroom door (there SHOULD be a corridor or secondary door separating bathrooms from guest tables- or a sizable distance between said immediate bathroom doors and the patron dining table. ) However, upon asking to move spots, our hostess was able to quickly at a different table cleaned off for us. Issue solved. We typically love Janko’s and brought out of town guests to have the BEST steaks in town. Sadly, my husband and I ordered a porterhouse (medium rare) as we always do because typically it’s PERFECTLY seasoned, perfectly cooked, and perfectly sized, but last night (Saturday 4/5/25) Janko’s really missed the mark on 3 fronts. Our steak was noticeably smaller than it’s ever been. (shrinflation??) It was very bland and La med that classic Janko’s seasoning we love! Finally, it was SO raw it smelled of raw flesh. Like, super inconsistent from the classic Janko’s steak experience we’ve had in the past. We didn’t make a scene or return the steak- it was moms’ weekend and we were dining with our son’s girlfriend and her mom who was in from New York, so we just kept things polite, but we were pretty grossed out. Never before have we had so unsatisfactory an experience at Janko’s. Our server was great. Sides were fine. Decor is what it is..noise level was super high- it was busy..to be expected on a Saturday. Maybe because we had an 8:00 pm reservation on Saturday, we got the last, sad porterhouse in the meat case? Just a hunch…. Hopefully Janko’s gets it right the next time. :/
