- CCarrieChicago / Illinois •8 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoAs usual, Jamison’s did not disappoint. We went for a birthday dinner and had the pork chops had the pork chops, the artichoke chicken and a strip steak with a grilled octopus appetizer. Everything was cooked perfectly and was delicious. We love that they include soup and salad with the meal and that everything is not à la carte as most places are these days . It’s a great value and great food.
