Wanted to get out of town and try something new. Drove an hour to what would end up being a horrible night. The calamari..is not real calamari and definitely not crispy. I got my dinner first..to which we then had to wait another 10 minutes before my bf's dinner finally came after being asked where it was. The "t-bone steak" looked and tasted more like a flank steak..on top of that..the cook decides to throw peppers on top to which I got a sorry excuse that they didn't know how the peppers got there..when they were neatly placed on top to give it a colorful look I guess? The fries were so salty you couldnt even eat them. By the end of our dinner I had to use the restroom to which there was no toilet paper at all. By the end of the night me and him were taking turns to our own bathroom and wasn't sure which end it was going to come from. Definitely do not recommend and will never return.

We have been coming to Melbourne beach for years and finally decided to try Jakes and we were not disappointed! We had fish and chips and the shrimp po boy and both were very fresh and cooked to perfection! Service was great, ask for Melissa !!

We were looking for somewhere to eat as we travelled through Melbourne Beach - found this on Google and stopped off with our kids. Loved the decor, especially the shark on the ceiling!

We got in lucky since it was Elvis night and there was one table left to fit our 7 people. So first I’d suggest calling in to make sure you don’t need a reservation.The spicy snow crab was great, mom liked the coconut shrimp with coconut sauce. Fish n chips was good. We came for the crab and wasn’t disappointed. The New England chowder was really good, really good not too peppery like some places.They are a little light staffed, but Melissa was great and juggled us well with all the others and we were glad we tried it out.Show up early if it’s a weekend and your not calling ahead.

St. Patrick's Day dinner was fantastic. The best corned beef, cabbage, potatoes and carrots ever. Potato leek soup was very delicious. The Irish creme bread pudding was unique and super tasty. Chef Barbara has made significant improvements to the menu. I've had not had a bad meal at Jake's for several months. We love her cooking and will be back. Oh the crab cakes are the absolute best!

We love Jake’s on Wednesdays with Karaoke Dave and our favorite waitress, Melissa! They are awesome and make it a fun time out for our family. P.S. Fish-n-chips is good, the chili not so much

What a great and chill restaurant. Perfect for a night out or a quick bite to eat. Waitress was amazing and friendly and took our orders in a quick and professional manner. Food was amazing for the price ( I reccomend the Phillie cheese steak sandwich). Happy hour is always a must as you get cheaper drinks. All in all, very friendly and reliable service, great staff, great food and prices are extremely good. Would definitely come back and most definitely reccomend.

We really enjoyed the live music, and our server Melissa was so friendly and attentive. We liked it enough to go back a second time.

Great lunch specials. May still be closed due to death of owner around Feb 18, 2022
I have a 1 year old who I am an advocate for learning through different experiences. This night was so magical for her. The staff was super friendly and supportive of her walking around, holding the menu and interacting with her. The cooks included which gave such a huge impact for her. The food was fantastic. We enjoyed the crab nachos, chicken Parmesan which was to die for. They also had a girl group called Double Trouble who sang my daughter’s requests of her favorite songs. On our way out they sang from their heart to her and it was so touching.I wish I was local because I would have called this place home and have became a regular with how friendly the staff was. They were all unique in different ways and I would definitely come back. Thank you for all that you all did and to continue being your compassionate selves.

The wait time between our drink order and getting our menus was long (30 minutes). When we finally got the menu and ordered it was another 20 to 30 minutes. My fish n chip was so salty it was like eating a salt lick the French fries were cold, another member of our party ordered the same meal and thier fish was raw.our waiter was new but very nice and accommodating and apologized for the quality of the food and the long wait.Had to wait over 45 minutes after we were through with our meal to get our check only to find out it was wrong,was charged for items not ordered, only took two tries to get it straight. The only saving grace was the band that they had performing there they were wonderful.

Staff looked over worked…food not good…never asked for drink refill…forgot part of my order…had to ask for table to be cleaned… If you want to hang out, vape, sing karaoke, dance and get drunk…this is your place!!

Poor customer service!!! it was our first time visiting Jake's Crab Shack after finding it on FB as a recommended great place to visit, we were asking the waitress about the menu items and how the entrees were served and the waitress made us feel like we were getting on her nerve!! her exact words where come on guys you're killing me" so I reminded her it was our first time and we just wanted to get an idea of what came with the platters, I really wanted to get up and leave the place but my 4yr old and 11 yr old were hungry. She made us so uncomfortable my brother who was joining us felt intimidated to ask for an appetizer. After eating our food and getting our check she then tells me oh today is family day kids eat free but since you didn't order an item we serve free I had to charge you for there dinner, I replied well you never told us kids eat free but whatever!! I paid my tab and left and will never go back nor recommend anyone else visit!! I was hoping to enjoy the place but guess that wasn't in the cards for us!! Well at least we tried!

Apparently New staff it very unorganized, food portions are very small but food was great. The hvac vents are disgusting looking. No TV's were working and the radio kept going on and off. If you want a vibe maybe keep looking. Oh and the bartender charged me for 3 beer to help her self out lol
