We were working in the area last week and decided to give Jake’s a try! It was delicious! There was no wait, the server was super nice, the food came out quick, & everything was great! We both decided to get the Jamaican Jerk Chicken, with corn bread, Mac and cheese, fried okra, and rice! It was all delicious! The chicken is a little spicy (which we like) but if you don’t do spicy, you might want to choose a different option! For dessert we got the strawberry cake! Everything was great, we will definitely go back in the future! (We even had some left overs)

I had the jerk chic, it was OK. But, it was not jerk chicken. It was more like BBQ chicken with a thick BBQ like sauce that gave it a jerk-like favor. True jerk chicken has jerk baked into the chicken.

Went for the jerk chicken. Wasn't really jerk season. More so spicy bbq sauce. Staff was super nice but just missed the mark on the chicken. Good for bbq chicken though. I liked the spice. I would go back to try the other food

We ordered the smothered turkey wings with 3 Mac and cheese, rice and peas (red beans). A mini corn bread was also included. There is flavor in every bite. It may be considered pricey for some but this is quality home cooking. The servings are enough for two separate meals. The turkey wings is well seasoned and the meat literally falls off the bone. We ordered take out so the gravy was served on the side. The gravy is seasoned just right and has a little kick to its flavor. Once smothered over the turkey, the seasonings are compatible and its a delicious bite in every mouthful. The mac and cheese was a traditional baked mac and cheese. The mini corn bread was moist and had a tinge of sweetness. The winner and could be considered a meal in itself, the rice w/ peas (red beans). Its flavor packed with what taste like jerk seasoning. The rice was cooked perfectly and the beans were not overcooked. We tried the smothered turkey wings over our own plain white rice and as mentioned, the servings are enough for two.
Really good food, outstanding service, and a really welcoming enviornment. I would recommend in heartbeat. If I am ever back in the Birmhingham area, I would go back, no questions.

Really good food, outstanding service, and a welcoming environment. I would recommend it in a heartbeat. If I am ever back in the Birmingham area, I would go back, no questions. I highly recommend the chicken wings, they were a pretty big serving (6 full wings) or the smothered turkey wings. I was genuinely surprised with the mac and cheese too, great seasoning, kind of peppery. My kind of meal!
Visiting from out of town and a local recommended. Food was amazing- definitely homemade. The next time I visit I’m definitely coming back. Mac and cheese was 10/10. Cabbage 10/10

For the prices I expected more. No refills on beverages. Food presentation was not to my liking. Meat with a sweet taste that was good. Vegetables with too much salt.
