Rock Creek Family Restaurant — Restaurant in Chatom

Jakes Family Restaurant is a unique and quirky representation of almost any small southern town. Yes, they will probably talk about you and likely will poke a little fun, but it just shows how much they like you. They aren’t necessarily keen to newcomers and out-of-towners, but if you return more than twice, you might get to sit at Table #8 to offer the latest news, philosophical approach, or ingenious solution. The people who patronize the restaurant are from all walks of life and represent a cross-section of society and culture. Uniquely situated in a rural area, its decor and “Wall of Local Heroes” gives it charm like no other restaurant. The restaurant doesn’t have a flashy facade or a glamorous sign, but it’s warmth of its people, food, and family set it apart from most. I also enjoy the battered home fries, COB (Chicken on Bun) with special sauce, and a Jake’s Special. I miss the salad bar but love the special weekly event of Thursday Night spaghetti. There’s a beauty about the place and offers a simple perspective of nostalgic reminiscence. Go by and enjoy Jakes. Stay there an hour or two and experience what I shared. Tell Ms. Vivian hello and if you come back a few times, they might invite you to Table #8 to soak in some local philosophy. A great little place with simple charm and quirky decor - Jake’s...

It was completely uneditable and who would want to eat anything that looked like that to begin with. I called the restaurant and explained my situation and regardless of my unsatisfactory meal, the customer service met the meal’s standards, also. I was told that there would be no refund and once it leaves the restaurant they’re no longer held accountable of the meal.

Moral of the story- don’t waste your money on to go orders and expect a restaurant to hold any accountability for their awful meal and service...
