Zeke's Uptown Grill - Englewood

This assessment is challenging. It looks like an old bar with a large covered veranda with several dining tables. A rickety wooden deck area to the left and a gravel parking space. At first glance from the inside, it reminded me of a family style pizza joint, with a large full bar back. We immediately sat in a large cozy stand. Our server, Shannon, took our beverage order quickly when we looked at the huge menu. The selection of foods was incredible. Several very 'up scale' elements that can only be done by a cook, with very reasonable prices. My husband chose the 'Black Bluesy' Sirloin, I chose Linguini Alfredo with Grilled Shrimp. Our drinks arrived, a craftsmanship and a Long Island. That was the strongest Long Island I ever had, and I could only drink 1/2 of it. I'm kind of a picky eater, I didn't care about the mixed green salad, but my husband loved him. The Clam Chowder was delicious. The Alfredo was bland, but the shrimps were PERFECT. Steak was AMAZING. It was perfectly cooked, but very salty. My general takeover of Zeke 's is. the food is GREAT! Don't stay away from the appearance...

Friendly welcome, great service and incredible meal. First time I've seen grilled romaine on a menu, and it was delicious to the last bite. Husband's fish tacos excellent as well. And the appetizer soft shell crab on brioche was incredible

This is a great place to get breakfast. My only complaint is that they ran out of regular coffee by 10am on a Sunday. Luckily the decaf tasted delicious. The food was amazing, my husband and I both got the Ruby Benedict. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious. The crab cakes they sat on were beyond yummy. We found out that was what the started with, the best crab cakes around! The service was great, the waiter was kind and friendly. Highly recommend!

We would have preferred to sit outside, but the smoke drove us indoors. I ordered the cheese soup, which was brilliant. We shared the fish dish, and it was also very flavorful. Our food and drinks arrived quickly, and we were pleased with the service. However, our new waiter forgot to bring our salads. Once we mentioned it, they arrived promptly, and I'm glad I didn't skip the salad because the Caesar was one of the best I've had in a long time! My wife had the pollo ranchero, which she absolutely loved, and I enjoyed the Cobia Florentine—it was fantastic. If we had been seated outside and received our salads without a hitch, this would have easily been a five-star experience. I understand there's nothing you can do about the smokers outside. Thank you!

I don't recall the name of the shrimp appetizer, but it was absolutely delicious. The sauce was fantastic—it's really unique, so try to guess the ingredients next time! Our server was very attentive and friendly. The restaurant appeared to be relatively new, and they definitely know how to provide great service.
