I think the reason people like Jake's is due to the fact they probably have the biggest patio in the area. The food is never really all that great, and it is just like any other pub.
Dropped by here last Friday for lunch and my friend ordered the nachos which were clearly covered in pasta sauce. The menu claims it's chili but it wasn't chili.
Our server brought us our check without us asking for it.. and we weren't even done yet. Service was a little iffy.
