If I could give 6 stars I would. I've been a huge fan of this place since 2012 when I moved here. First of all, the customer service is amazing. The group of people that work here are friendly and good at what they do considering this place is always busy!
Their food is ahhhhhmazing. Tacos are a safe choice, especially on taco Tuesday and they have a special taco
each week. The Philly is good, chicken and beef. Burgers and wings are amazing. We often have gotten wings for super bowl and they have a good selection for wing sauce. Spicy chicken wontons and pizza bites are a must when ordering appetizers. Just do it.
Their sweet potato fries are my go to side; they come with a really good honey mustard. The tots are good. The ranch is great (if you're a ranch perfect, it passes the test. No buttermilk hidden valley here)
Beer selection is not a problem. They have a list a mile long with tons of breweries. I've tried nearly all of them and they're always good at recommending based on your taste.
Heads up:
It's the perfect place to grab a beer and watch a game. It's wild during football season! Get there early and get a table for the game you want. I warned ya.
Always bring your ID!!! They'll check at the door after 7! Been there done that -

We were looking for a place to accommodate a large group in a short time period and Jake's delivered. Plenty of room to spread out, especially for our 8 or so teen boy basketball team).
Food is made to order and I really enjoyed the burger and sweet potato fries. Onion rings are good too and have a beer batter on them.
Lots of TV's, pool tables, darts and games to play. Will definitely come back while in town.
P.S our waitress was amazing and loved how the whole staff pitched in to help get us in and out. -

DO BETTER JAKE'S!!
We go to Jake's regularly and that's the only reason I'm not giving a 1 star review. Usually the food is good for bar food. The drinks not so much.
Tonight I got the worst customer service I've ever received there. The servers are usually ok despite it being busy. This time it started off ok. Evidently they got some kind of new ordering technology but our waiter's (Ryne) phone wasn't working. So he took our order verbally by memory. Unfortunately he got it wrong and when we mentioned something about it he tried to put the blame on us. Then came back, interrupted our meal and asked for us to plate 10 of the wings from the order he messed up so he could go throw them away before giving us the new wings. He had an attitude with us when we told him we felt that was ridiculous then we asked to speak to a manager (David) who kept the same horrible energy and said "we don't give handouts here but this time we will let you keep the wings." We were very offended by the condescending way he spoke to us. THEN we get the bill and they STILL overcharged us for the mistake they made. Meanwhile sent a completely different waiter to deal with us who didn't know what was going on. He did fix the bill after we pointed it out. And my husband still left a tip against my wishes!
Very disappointed by the way this was handled. Maybe they are used to dealing with the college crowd that way but it was unacceptable. -

Used to love this bar, but the experiences I've had have changed my mind. I will never return. The climate has changed and as a black woman( my friends and I feel this place is not welcoming to POC. The owner was disgustingly rude to one of my friends who had never been there. I've had several friends with similar experiences. Never again.

I absolutely love coming to this place. The food is always amazing. I love everything on their menu. Today my wife and I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich with fries, spicy chicken wontons with tater tots, and the blueberry cheesecake wontons! OMG all of it was so delicious! The grilled chicken sandwich was so full of flavor. The fries and tater tots were fried perfectly and were super crispy! The blueberry cheesecake wontons was my favorite part of my lunch today. The sweetness of the blueberry drizzle mixed with the fried crispiness of the wonton and the blueberry cheesecake filling was just mindblowing. I'm drooling right now thinking of them. On top of that we had an A+ customer service experience with our bartender/server Mikey!! Good Food, Good Drinks, Good Staff! I highly recommend! Thank You!
