How is JK's restaurant I would like to try a new place for dinner?

places to eat

Crystal lake is like 10 minutes from Alex Bay which has several restaurants, some more oriented to the tourist trade. JK's Roadhouse is where locals go. The chef is a fishing guide during the day. His culinary skills are a pleasant surprise and innovative fare is reasonably priced. And it is a fun ,noisy place that you would probably pass by if I did not send you there.

I always wondered where Hunter hung out, and where Larry and Alex would disappear to, leaving me roasting hot dogs on a cold fire in the pits. So, we Googled the Road House, and the review by the
Watertown Dining Ed;

"3 Forks out of 5" , not bad;
and rooms too

Kicking back at JK’s Roadhouse in Redwood

ALEXANDRIA BAY — On a quiet country road just outside Alex Bay, JK’s Roadhouse is hard to miss.
There’s a classy sign out by the road. Neon beer signs and illuminated Quickdraw signs in the windows are like a beacon in the night.

On a recent evening, cars and trucks and even a motor home surrounded the building, making parking a bit of a chore on what we thought would be a quiet evening at this rural outpost.
It’s a local hangout with a friendly vibe. Everyone seemed to know everyone there, which is why we got a dose of the hairy eyeball as we entered.
But that was over in an instant, and the folks on the barstools got back to their Buds.
There’s no getting away from the bar, which takes up a quarter of the place. At times it got a little noisy but never offensive, and not totally unexpected, adding a certain allure to the eatery.
Appetizers are fairly standard, many deep-fried favorites with two exceptions that we ordered: pork pot stickers ($5.95) and a grilled chicken quesadilla ($9.95). The pot stickers tasted just fine all by themselves.
The soup, Italian sausage, was excellent — hearty and delicious. A thick tomato base, almost like spaghetti sauce, was full of sweet sausage chunks and loaded with veggies including green beans, spinach, zucchini, onions and more. Options are chicken Parmesan over spaghetti, char-grilled chicken breast with lemon and herbs, and Southwest chicken, a breast covered with salsa and melted cheeses.
There are two steaks available — the Roadhouse strip steak and the Jack Daniels strip steak. A lovely 10-ounce New York strip steak was simply seasoned with salt and pepper and perfectly char-grilled to our call of medium rare. It had the characteristic juiciness and chewiness of a good strip steak. Great charcoal flavor.

Plain cheesecake arrived with an offer of chocolate topping. Rather than take it back to the kitchen, our waitress brought a large squeeze bottle of Hershey’s syrup to the table and invited us to help ourselves.
Our food cost $101 before tip. A round of drinks — three beers and top shelf mixed drink — added $12.25 to the bill.

JK’s Roadhouse was a lot of fun, with some decent food to boot. It opened two years ago, serving burgers, wings and pizza until they “got their systems in place.”
They expanded the menu about a year ago to include the cooked-to-order dinner entrees.
In addition, there are weekly dinner specials: chef’s Italian specialties on Wednesday, Yankee pot roast on Thursday, fish fry on Friday, prime rib on Saturday and chicken and biscuits on Sunday.
