Always love coming here for the great food and delicious cakes and cookies.. they never disappoint and you get great food for the price. Love their sandwiches and nachos.. they do some awesome chicken as well. Salads are always good. I love the cozy atmosphere and tables. It's my first time back since our crazy year of 2020 and Covid-19. So I was happy to walk through the doors again.. when I was ready to pay I noticed a sign with a photo asking for donations for a employee named Tatum who is what I assume is battling cancer because of the ribbon 🎀.. I am a severe A Hemophiliac and sit next to those in treatment in Hematology / Oncology.. I know what they go through, they fight just like I do.. So next time you come to eat buy some bracelets and support a BEAUTIFUL CAUSE for a beautiful person. I battle my disease everyday and I want to see this girl go forward with a beautiful future. You come for some great food here but it hits home cause we're all from the same city and SHOULD help eachother out especially after the year we had. Jake's is still one of my favorite spots for food and i wish everyone there all the best. Especially Team Tatum

When you spend $12 for a sandwich, at a BBQ place no less, you expect to get your money's worth for something tasty. This did not happen here. Look at the photo I took of their chicken sandwich. It is literally three badly cut tomatoes, a suggestion of lettuce, barely any cheese, no honey mustard flavoring at all despite that being a selling point, and quite literally a handful of chicken. It tasted as good as it looked - sad, bad, and drier than sand. I could have went to Subway and gotten a footlong with all the fixings for the same price that would taste far better than the sawdust the chicken was. Jakes has really gone downhill over the last 5ish years, and finally my mom, who was the only reason we even came here, has decided never go here again because "...for charging $40 for half a family size, I expect it to at least taste good." Very, very disappointed to see how far this restaurant has fallen, and how the portions got so small while the prices have skyrocketed.

Went here on a lunch hour with a coworker and the place was packed! However the line moved quickly and we received our food in a timely manner. I didn’t care very much for the chicken nachos that I ordered, but took most home to my husband who loved them. My coworker ordered a chicken taco salad without beans and was a little miffed that her chips got soggy quickly. So while it seems popular, which makes me believe a lot of people like the food, I probably won’t be returning. Giving a four-star because my husband asked I do so. That’s how much he liked the nachos.

Have passed this place on several occasions and decided to stop and give them a try. Got the garlic chicken and potato casserole as well as the wimpy chili. All the food was really good and delicious. So glad I stopped and tried the food. Place was really nice with a nice family vibe and great decor. Staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely give them a try
