| - Diners drive in and dives introduced me to this place. I seen it about 2 weeks before i vacationed down south. literally the night before the same episode aired. i knew i had to go.
it was a toss up between this place, and BBQ King, which was also on triple D's.
Jake's is a cute lil restaurant run by two brothers who wanted to take their fav foods growing up and serve it there style. its located in an old gas station which gives it a unique look from the outside.
when you walk in, it literally seems like family is greeting you. when i got there it was empty, the only guests in there. which was perfect, because by the time i was leaving it started getting busy.
Its not a big place. maybe 15 tables at most. the service is great! server came over after we settled in and our drinks came out fast.
Now onto the food. oh man. they have a pretty decent menu considering how small the place is. a dinner menu which starts at 5, and a lunch menu with a full list of many sandwiches and such. for appetizers, my boyfriend and i ordered fried green tomatoes and fried oysters. i have never had either of them and boy were they awesome! the oysters literally melted in your mouth and the sauce that was served with it was a perfect compliment to the oyster. the fried green tomatoes were so lioght and crispy, exactly what i pictured it to be. SO GOOD!
Entree time. We ordered exactly what was featured on the episode. Blackened flounder with a crawfish sauce, served with a side of mixed fresh veggies, and a double porkchop with a maple glaze, apples and a side of mashed potatoes and spinach. this was by far one of the best porkchops i ever ate in my life, seriously. they serve it medium well, but i had mine medium. the flounder was cooked perfectly, the crawfish sauce was incredible! a nice little kick to it, not fishy at all. perfect combination. my porkchop was amazing. the maple glaze with the apples was on the money.
you would think after all that food, we'd be stuffed. Nope! we had to order dessert. they dont have a dessert menu, i guess its different every day, and they are made fresh every day so when they sell out its done. We ordered the chocolate cake. it didnt stand a chance once it hit the table. we were so pleased with it, we had to order another dessert, the blue berry cobbler. sooooooo freakin good! so moist and delicious and billions of blue berries.
this place is a gem! service is great, food is amazing, they constantly are refilling your drinks. wish i could go back!!!
ETA: completely forgot about our salads! we had a ceasar and a wedge. the ceasar was soooo good, and the wedge had a nice home made bleu cheese dressing with crispy bacon. do it!
