Wife and I chose to give this place a try and right from the get-go there were Indications that this was going to be a good choice. The reviews were good and I saw the wings were recommended numerous times. As we approached the entrance a couple in their 50's we're leaving and I asked if this was a good place to eat. The Answer was an absolute yes and they informed us they came and ate here every weekend.
As we entered I saw that this place was booming and I stead of waiting for a table we chose to sit at the bar to enjoy a drink and eat there. Our bartender and server was Jen and the service she provided was perfect. She acknowledged our presence and told us she would be right with us momentarily. Our drinks were served right away and she gave us a minute to go over the menu. My wife chose the French Dip with au jus and homemade chips. I knew I wanted wings but asked for recommendations on which flavor. She recommended the only flavor that was abbreviated and it was something like I.G.B.R. (garlic butter ranch or something like that) so that's what I got. Jen was ahead of what we needed always by one step, for example after I started eating wings I quickly went through my napkins and when I needed another napkin I noticed she had somehow put more napkins down while my attention was elsewhere. Just when my wife was done eating, Jen brought a to go box without needing to ask. Always one step ahead even though it was very busy. She was very friendly and it provided a nice small town atmosphere and vibe. Thank you, Jen.
The wings were the best wings I have had since Charleston, SC. I definitely recommend the flavor mentioned earlier. My wife's French Dip was out of this world the Au Jus was so flavorful and even the homemade chips were so good I couldn't stop eating them.
When the bill came, I was surprised at how Affordable everything was, less than $30 for both meals and two drinks.
I now understand why the Couple we had talked to on our way in come here every weekend. I find myself wanting to go back to try all the other things they have on their menu. Jakes finds itself with ANOTHER couple who will be coming back, weekend after weekend.
I implore you to give Jakes a try and after you do, I will see you there on...
   Read moreMade reservations for 6 on 10/19/22. We eat there often. My food never showed up. I asked for a manager and she blamed the kitchen and told me about cooking times. She said she would take care of the bill. The waitress came back 20 minutes later asked about the check. Still no food. Called the manager again and she blamed the waitress, said she never put the order in, but my wife got hers. Got the check, and was not charged for the food I didn't get- that was the fix. The young waitress was crying, we were very nice to her because she was new. Manager's fault. The manager blamed us for that. I was told by the manager, although I didn't yell or swear that she didn't like my attitude and not come back. She would not let me talk to another manager and would not tell me when I could call the next day to talk to...
   Read more2nd time I have ordered a SALAD online from jakes to be ready for a certain time because I'm on my 30 minute lunch break and both times, I do not think that they started the order until I got there. So I sat and waited for my chicken and shrimp salad for almost 15 mins and it was missing chicken. Whatever. Order was supposed to be ready @ 3:57, recieved it at 4:20 Called because I'm double irritated that I do not even get to eat my $17 salad because my lunch break is over AND it was wrong.. Oh but they gave me a $4 refund for the chicken that they forgot. Can't even rate what the food taste like because again, didn't get to eat it :) twice now:) Take online ordering off if you don't pay attention to it that way I can stop wasting my money. Not happy and...
