| - So....My BF and decided to venture out to Jake's after seeing it on DDD and reading reviews. Yeah, uh no. We went on a Saturday 3/15 at 6pm. They were open from 5-9pm. Our wait was an hour. The place is small, with no waiting area inside so we joined the other 25 or so people waiting outside.
The service: Our server came quick, took drink orders and disappeared. When she returned with the drinks we were very ready to order. She brought our app (spinach dip) quick. She then informed us they were out of 5 or so items on the menu. And asked if we wanted to reserve dessert since it would soon sell out. We did. We placed our dinner orders and that's when it all went down hill! We waited 35 minutes for our entrees. OMG! Seriously. Our server NEVER came back, never gave an update, never refilled drinks. A young couple sat across from us, they ordered (I'll get back to this shortly).
The food: The spinach dip and homemade chips were great! The dip was fresh, hot and heavy on the spinach. The tortilla chips were flour, not corn. Different but good. My BF got the Fried seafood platter sans oysters, extra shrimp. The breading was insanely good! He inhaled his food. Homemade tartar and cocktail sauce were a nice touch. My meal was a different story. I opted for the server recommended BBQ chicken with mac n cheese and broccolini. EPIC FAIL!!!! The chicken looked and tastesd boiled..not grilled, baked, seared, broiled....BOILED. It was topped with a lack luster "chicken BBQ sauce" whatever that means. It arrived sitting on a full bowl of penne pasta with a white cheddar sauce (no flavor at all) and was garnished with 3 lonely unseasoned pieces of broccolini. So....I sent it back and ordered what my BF had. Back to the service....
The service cont: While waiting for my second entree we noticed the table across from us had no food, at all! Not an app, not bread, a fry, nothing. The empty beer bottle they had was still sitting at the end of the table, hence no service. At the same time one of the two older women at the hostess stand began to shout that they were "running out of food" to all the patrons who hadn't been seated. She continued to say "We no longer have anything fried (out of breader), we have 4 steaks left. No crab cakes, no BLT, No chicken sandwiches, no desserts." WTH?!!!!! There were at least 20 people waiting for tables. She began to take orders in advance and try to secure food. I was told I got the last fried platter. As the waiting crowd shrank so did the food in stock. It was a sad sight.
When our server came by (still no update on my new entree) I asked if she secured our desserts...she responded with a blank stare. I also mentioned feeling bad for the couple across from us, as they had been sitting for over an hour with no food.
Final thoughts: All in all, the place is neat. Kitchy and different. The service suffers due to young staff. The fried food is amazing (if they have it) and the wait is insane. We won't be going back, but it was nice to say we had the "experience".
