Ordered breakfast special 2 or 3 eggs hash brown and bacon ,not only did the plate look good, it was very good and filling, food was so good that I forgot to take picture of the food before eating but took one of an empty plate to show you it was very good. This place has just about everything you want to eat. Polish hot dog was delish at lunch time yesterday, wife had chili dog and was good too. Now on our way to a Cubs game ,1pm game cannot go back to Texas and not go to Wrigley Field. Could not upload picture of empty plate.

I recall a time when Jakes didn't accept credit cards or online orders or have delivery. They stepped their game up in that department. The food is just ok. Their ground beef tacos have big chunks of meat unless you ask them to really chop it. I had their steak nachos recently and while they gave a lot and I love that they make their own chips, they used cheese sauce and I expected real cheese. It also didn't have much flavor to it. Their fries and burgers are good.

Great spot with all the Chicago classics and more. I love that I can get a Chicago dog, elote, and a horchata. Tastes great, prices are reasonable, and friendly service is fast. Really enjoyed sitting outside on a warm day. The street is busy and people watching is fun, but will likely be asked for money.

If you enjoy waiting hours for cold, low-quality food then I've just found you a great new spot for delivery. Here's the timeline:

5:44 place order on grubhub, estimated 35-45 min delivery time. 5:45 order receipt confirmed, should be delivered between 6:35 and 6:45, no worries, it is common for grubhub to understate times and restaurants to round up a bit. 6:50 call the restaurant and I am told my food just came out of finished. I have no idea how an egg sandwich a burger take an hour to cook. 7:35 call again to ask of it's left with a driver, I am told they gave it to the driver right after I last called but I live only 10 minutes away. 7:45 finally get a call from the delivery driver though I then spend several minutes hunting her down outside.

Exasperated and famished I head inside with heavily tempered expectations. The sausage and egg sandwich appeared to be on lightly toasted wonder bread and feature brown-n-serve sausage with a mild but distinct sour taste. Also being wrapped tightly in foil for so long I was treated to the unsettling experience of floppy, soggy toast. I'm not by any means a picky eater but I gave up after two bites. Changing my attention to the cheeseburger and fries little improved. The fries were unsalted which is fine if you get them hot but cold the salt had trouble sticking to them. I expected them to be either soggy or hard after cooling off but they had a weird chewy texture I have never seen before. The burger was really bland. The patties were luke warm still with rubbery cheese, and slightly wilted lettuce. I ended up knocking off the lettuce and drenching it in ketchup so I could get it down. I would give this place more stars and another try if the only issue was the wait, but they have a lot more...

I've lied like 2 min walking from this place for more than a year and I hadn't tried till tonight, we used the groupon (pay $14 get $20). We order a Triple cheeseburger, double cheeseburger, large french, chicken (2 breast, 2 winds) and coleslaw for almost $20 it was a large amount of food, we actually put the breast in the fridge.

When you see the place you will have doubts as I did months ago but the food is good!, actually surprisingly good and a pretty good deal because it isn't expensive at all (at least what we got). I will say that the meat from the burger needed some salt but I prefer my food that way than salty, I just added a little bit of salt (which they gave to me) at problem solve.

I will recommend the chicken, really tasty. I'm definitely going back probably to...

personally it’s a 10/10 would recommend trying this place out I love the food but I’ve only tried the pizza puff and the cheeseburger so I’m speaking on those two Items the cheeseburger 10/10 I don’t like cheeseburgers they’re too much for me but the photos on DoorDash made me curious so I ordered it, let me tell you its perfect it’s not under cooked and not overcooked it’s just perfect and it’s not greasy greasy I can taste everything on the sandwich which I love cause the meat isn’t overpowering the whole sandwich but if you’re a cheeseburger person who likes them meaty, greasy, and messy, cook out with you family style or whatever this sandwich might not be for you but you should try it out anyways it won’t hurt you also the pizza puff is perfect too I have no cons for this...
