The menu at J.D. Hoyt’s is a carnivore’s dream, featuring a variety of hearty, charcoal-charred entrées that boast bold, smoky flavors. Standouts include the J.D.’s Famous Grilled Cajun Pork Chops, which deliver a tender, juicy bite with a perfectly seasoned Cajun crust, and the Bone-In Rib Eye, a thick, juicy cut that’s expertly grilled to bring out its rich, beefy essence. For steak lovers seeking a touch of finesse, the Steak Spaulding — a filet mignon crowned with a delicate crab cake and béarnaise sauce — offers a sublime surf-and-turf twist, balancing richness and freshness beautifully.

Seafood dishes like the Lobster Risotto and Shrimp Scampi present creamy, indulgent flavors that are both comforting and sophisticated, while lighter fare such as the Charcoal Grilled Scallops provide a tender, juicy contrast that still packs a flavorful punch.

J.D. Hoyt’s is not just about steaks — the appetizers here set the tone for a vibrant Creole-inspired meal. The world-famous Buddy Bowl, a layered, baked family-style bowl featuring red beans, dirty rice, and Monty’s Creole sauce topped with melted cheese, offers a symphony of smoky, savory flavors that tease and tantalize the palate. Complement it with the freshly baked J.D. Hoyt’s Famous Garlic Cheese Toast or their perfectly crisped Onion Rings to start your experience right.
