Jake's Sports Cafe

A laughable sports bar

by Maiero at Citysearch

Jakes is right on the edge of 88 and D, which is easily one of the best places to drive drunk and avoid police. I think that's one reason why Northern hicks frequent this place. If you're with a hot girl, expect her to be stared at for at least 5 minutes.

The tap beers are overpriced and undoubtedly served from a filthy nozzle. The food is okay, as far as sandwiches go, but if you order anything aside from 'the usual,' expect something stale and/or sloppy.

This place isn't exactly underwhelming but it's just extremely awkward. The bloody mary bar is a good idea and is filled with unique items, but the drinks are still too expensive. Is it any wonder why so few people drink the bloody marys here?

• Pros: location, bloody mary bar
• Cons: merchandising, overpriced beers, food

Great happy hour food!

by mayera at Citysearch

We used to live in the apartments across the street from Jake's and it's one of the things we miss most about moving! Casual sports bar, great free popcorn. We've generally had good service. They have good happy hour specials on weeknights. The wings are fantastic! There are few things we enjoy more than going to Jake's to watch a game, drinking beer, eating popcorn and wings.

• Pros: Wings! Popcorn!
• Cons: Pricey if you don't go to happy hour.

Best Bartender Around..Jess was amazing, friendly, and super promt

by terrytime at Citysearch

Although it is always busy at the bar...the past few times we have visited Jess was there to take care of us. She was always running around, but made sure that we had what we wanted. I would definately go back just to see Jess.

• Pros: The fast service
• Cons: Finding somewhere at the bar may be difficult

Great Burgers!!!

by lovecheeseburgers at Citysearch

I've only been here once, late last summer. The cheeseburgers and fries are awesome! The only reason I haven't been back yet is because it is a little too smoky in my opinion. In the summer it doesn't matter because you can sit on the patio, but I haven't wanted to try it in the winter. The service is good and the food is great. I can't wait for summer to come again!

• Pros: Great burgers, Good service
• Cons: Smoky

Worst Service EVER

by ricky2002 at Citysearch

I've been here five times. The service has always been absolutely horrible. Waitstaff NEVER checks back to refill drinks. Last two times I was there, I asked for a jar of mustard. On both occasions, the waitstaff forgot or couldn't be bothered to bring it. Last time I was there, I waited 25 minutes after the meal ended to receive my bill. When someone finally asked who my server was, I had no idea, because she never checked back. This restaurant has insulted me for the last time.

• Pros: food, has a roof, working toilet
• Cons: horrible service, atrocious service, excreble service
