Texas Jacks is Bromley's unapologetic American-style steakhouse and cocktail bar — big portions, loud atmosphere, and prices that won't make you flinch. The spare ribs are the reason most people keep coming back, but the surprisingly decent cocktails and beer selection make it more than just a meat-and-potatoes joint. It's not fine dining and it knows it — and that's exactly its charm.
Spare ribs that'll have you reaching for a doggy bag, cocktails that surprise, and a vibe that's loud, proud, and reliably good value.
Book ahead for Friday and Saturday nights — it gets packed and you'll be waiting a while for a table, especially with a group.
Big portions, bigger personality — Bromley's go-to steakhouse
Texas Jacks has carved out a loyal following on Bromley's High Street by doing exactly what it says on the tin: big American-style portions, a lively atmosphere, and prices that don't make you wince. The spare ribs are the headline act — tender, smoky, and generous enough that you'll be taking a doggy bag home — and the chicken wings have their own fan club. Steaks are solid if not spectacular, but at these prices you're not expecting Hawksmoor-level craftsmanship, and that's fine.
Where the place really earns its stripes is the vibe and the service. Staff are repeatedly praised for being friendly and accommodating, even when it's packed on a weekend evening. The beer selection is better than you'd expect from a neighborhood steakhouse, and the cocktails are a pleasant surprise — not an afterthought. Portions are consistently described as ample, and reviewers frequently mention the value for money.
It can get busy, especially Friday and Saturday nights, so booking ahead is wise if you're coming with a group. It's not the place for a quiet romantic dinner, but if you want a no-fuss, hearty meal with mates or family, Texas Jacks hits the spot more reliably than most in the area.
