Chicken tenders at Jake’s. Not really tenders. More like whole breast. Lot more food than I expected. Tasted great and like I said, lots of food for the price. I would recommend

Fun atmosphere with old cars and lots of stuff on the walls. Sunday has a huge family meal setting with lots of sides. I had catfish and it was fantastic.

I recently visited Jake’s Texas Teahouse and tried a few of their offerings. The atmosphere is really charming, and the service was excellent—friendly and attentive throughout our meal.

As for the food, I had the chicken fried steak with fries and fried okra. While the sides were tasty, the chicken fried steak wasn’t quite my favorite. I felt the gravy could use a little more flavor to complement the dish.

On the bright side, I also had the Cadillac Melt with a Caesar salad, and it was pretty good! However, a touch of salt and pepper would have made it even better.

The decor is cozy and nostalgic, filled with classic touches that create a welcoming, throwback vibe. It’s a great spot for families with kids and anyone who enjoys taking in some old-school charm while they dine.

Overall, the dining experience was enjoyable thanks to the warm service and great atmosphere. I’m sure with a few small tweaks to the seasoning, this place will be even better!

It's been a few weeks since we visited. But no one greeted us upon entering, several young girls looked at us, not one smile. I don't care if you're a dishwasher, waitress or hostess -- you can always smile and say hello. The atmosphere is amazing and our waitress was new that same day we went and she was nice and friendly. The food was good overall but the black-eyed peas seemed dumped from a can.....not good at all. There was another veggie that was flavorless as well. But it was overall good. I'd definitely go back.

This place had a hour and a half wait , so we moved on. Definitely, will try again.

I personally didn't like the food or how cramped the restaurant is. You only have a choice of various sides for your meal. No French fries or Mac n cheese, etc. The waitress was amazing and patient! The place wasn't for me but it's worth a try, it is a nice place to try.
