Jakes Bar • $
605 N Ankeny Blvd, Ankeny

“Sure, it's a strip mall bar that's pretty much a dive, but I love it. Staff is surprisingly attentive and polite for how busy it can get and I've never had much of an issue with the clientele. Love coming hear to watch Hawkeye, Cyclone or Cubs games. Insanely low prices also. One of my favorite bars in the city.“

“We chose to check out in a lane that had a first day cashier. The girl bagging the groceries was very helpful to him and us. He accidentally double charged us and the girl took it upon herself to get the approval from management to get it deducted and get us going to keep the line moving!!! Very impressed!! Thank you to the two working isle 5 today!! You are what Hy-Vee is supposed to be!!!“

“We stopped in for the first time Tuesday night. It was not too busy. We had a dog with us and they were very cool about her being there. We sat outside on the ground level patio. Not very noisy and a nice atmosphere.

Our server was super helpful with all of our questions, especially regarding gluten-free options. Quick to bring out our drinks, appetizer, and meals.

The nacho appetizer was very good and to big for the 2 of us to finish 😉 We wanted to leave room for the main course!
My smash burger was yummy and so was the coleslaw.

We would definitely go back again!“

“We were in for lunch yesterday, my grandson wasn't feeling well. Our waitress refused to wait on us. She must have gotten the manager, he was a real trooper, took our order and delivered our food. I thought it was unprofessional of her. But we were suppose to get salad, he even said he forgot the salad and never brought it. Never again!!!“
