Reviews Overview

Most Liked

The fried fish at Jake's receives rave reviews, consistently praised for its crispiness and flavor. Diners adore the gumbo, remarking about its hearty portions and rich, smoky taste. The warmth of the staff, especially Chastity, adds a personal touch that makes visits feel special. Whether trying the shrimp platter or indulging in a catfish po'boy, the flavors bring a taste of Louisiana directly to your plate. And don’t overlook their fast service—perfect when you're hungry. A solid selection of local drinks rounds the experience, making it easy to unwind with a cold beer or cup of coffee.

Most Disliked

Some visitors mention that the exterior of Jake's could use a little sprucing up, potentially deterring those passing by. A few guests have pointed out that during peak times, waits can be longer than expected, especially on busy Mondays. However, this is often overshadowed by the great food and service. Noise levels can also rise during lunchtime and dinners, making it less ideal for quieter conversations. Lastly, while many appreciate the variety, some feel that not every dish hits the mark every time, but it's clear that the favorites have a loyal following.

Great food, great quantity and quality of dishes. Great service, and Shout out to Chastity! She makes our visits nice and is very attentive. And a good family place, not too hot or cold and not loud or too crowded. It's comfortable and delicious, will come again! Edit: we already started eating, there was more on our plates before these photos! ❤️
