About Jake's Restaurant

Jake's Restaurant has a rustic charm that has remained unchanged for at least a decade. The restaurant features a cozy bar area, perfect for starting the evening with an old fashioned. Upon arrival, guests are seated promptly, and the servers are generally attentive to their needs.

The menu showcases a variety of steak cuts, and the haystack of onion rings continues to be a popular choice among diners. There is also a large selection of toppings available for customizing the steak. Recently, some customer favorites have been removed from the menu, and there have been reports of unavailable items.

The hospitality group that was brought in to "straighten things out" seems to be absent. The parking lot is in poor condition, and there have been complaints about cigarette butts on the ground, with some staff smoking in full view.

Service has been noted as a bit slow, with water not served at seating due to a lack of glassware. The ventilation system may need cleaning, as there has been a haze in the dining room, which bothers customers' eyes. Despite these issues, the food, including the steaks and sides, has received positive feedback, although the Brussels sprouts were reported as burnt by a recent diner.

Jake's also hosts special events, such as wedding rehearsal dinners, and has received praise for the staff's helpfulness and ability to handle last-minute changes. The Friday fish fry is a popular option, although it was noted that the fish served was cod and not perch. Overall, the restaurant is encouraged to invest in resources and systems to improve the dining experience and support the waitstaff, allowing Jake's Restaurant to regain its reputation for high-quality service.
