Founded by Jesse Roush in 1963, Jesse's Embers is a veteran when it comes to steaks and seafood. Now owned and run by a different management, it still holds true to its roots where food is made as per order and you can catch the chef in action grilling your dishes. The aroma of grilled meat will tantalize your appetite. Whet your palate with appetizers like the Cajun Shrimp and Sautéed Mushrooms. Dig into their Emberburger, London Broil, Smoked Loin Back Ribs, Beer Battered Shrimp and Orange Roughy Florentine. Though the place is small and the wait time can be longer, their friendly service and delightful food will make up for it, ensuring a pleasant dining experience.
