I came in here on a Saturday afternoon and only 3 or 4 other tables were occupied, they have a dining and a bar area, I settled for the bar area since it was more conducive for a table for one. Looking at their menu however I was surprised at how little seafood was featured in it, in fact I was shocked that out of all that, only 3 items fell under "fish", but they do have mussels. Most of the menu is taken up for steak, ribs and burgers. One would think that their fish would be "world famous" as opposed to their ribs. I do hate it when restaurants add annoying and completely false statements about their menu, I would be very surprised if someone did fall for the fact that the ribs at Jake's Boathouse are indeed "World Famous".
I came in here hoping for seafood so I went with their fish taco (pictured) and I was actually very surprised when I saw that it actually looked like a good piece of fish in a taco shell and it was very tasty too. So now I wonder if their fish was this good why do they have so little options for seafood and does this mean that their burgers or ribs would also surprise me in being good? Only repeat visits can tell, and I'm sure I will be doing that.
Service was quick and my server was very friendly (seeing as how empty it was I would have been very surprised if it wasn't), however my beer came freezing cold and very flat, I'm going to attribute that to being either the first or last pint of the keg?
While I am still surprised at the fact that this place seems to be all about seafood on the outside only to deliver the shock of predominately featuring meat based meals on a menu design that screams seafood I can't deny the fact that my specific meal was well done and I had a good experience here, this was definitely going towards a 2 star review in my head before I saw my food.
They also seem to be prominently feature live music nights and I can definitely see this place be a popular spot for people to gather for music as they have a small corner in the dining area for bands. So I can imagine the vibe being very different in the evenings here compared to the quiet lunch I had.
