Thank you Jake's Tex Mex for coming to my Rescue last night when you didn't have to. Needing to feed a family with a daughter just out of surgery & myself as well you came to my aide. It also helps THAT YOUR FOOD IS OUTSTANDING & my patient was so extremely happy to see Jack's cake & I threw in the Lemon šŸ‹ cake as well. Forever indebted, Kasey Jo

If you haven’t been here before you have been missing out... Jake’s has food you wish you could make.
If you are a beginner try the taco salad with beef and chicken add the salsa and BBQ sauce, trust me, it is a crowd pleaser!

Came in tonight with a party of three, we ordered a tri-tip sandwich, taco salad and quesadilla. Tri-tip is smoked and is the best around, (thanks Skip). Taco salad is just outstanding! Our light eater said the quesadilla was marvelous. Tri-tip sandwiches are delicious.
Jake’s is highly recommended and be sure to save room for their chocolate cake... it is the best, you will see why they also sell it by the big platter for parties .

Have passed this place on several occasions and decided to stop and give them a try. Got the garlic chicken and potato casserole as well as the wimpy chili. All the food was really good and delicious. So glad I stopped and tried the food. Place was really nice with a nice family vibe and great decor. Staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely give them a try

We’ve been coming to Jake’s for years but this might take the cake. Spent nearly $60 on 3 tri tip plates with 2 sides. The portions have gotten smaller definitely ain’t worth the price. Won’t be back.

This is not anything close to Tex Mex. Tri Tip isn't even a thing in Texas. You all need to learn to cut the Tri Tip against the grain so your clients can bite and chew it. After ordering and paying $50.00 for a lunch for 2, we couldn't eat it. The rest of the food was just ok. The manager really didn't care.

I grew up on Jakes and haven’t been in awhile but was in the area yesterday and stopped in for lunch. Everything was so delicious!! The best macaroni and potato salad and the bbq beef sandwich with bbq sauce was wonderful!! Very clean and staff is friendly. Definitely in my top favorites. I can’t forget the chocolate cake that is out of this world delicious!!

The food is great! Service was awesome! Just noisy inside but can't prevent that. We ate outside and noise level was much better. They have fans that move the air making it feel comfortable. Would HIGHLY recommend!
