We discovered Jake's while driving home from eastern Ohio along the Coastal route...and being hungry because it was well past lunch time. Jake's looked like a good place to have lunch, and it didn't disappoint! I saw fried pickles on the app menu and immediately decided Jake's could be my kind of place! I had the Lake Erie perch sandwich-the fish tasted fresh, the fries were rough-cut skin-on, and it came with a good-sized bowl of cole slaw. My dining companion said his hamburger was tasty and cooked the way he ordered it (a big thing with him as he tends to like his burgers medium, or maybe on the medium rare side). The place has only been open about a year and a half, but it seems to have established itself as a real "local joint". The servers seemed to know a lot of the customers, and a lot of the customers seemed to know each other (sounded like a lot lived in the neighborhood). Service was very friendly, and we immediately felt at home ourselves. A fellow came in toward the end of our meal who we thought might be the owner. He was joking with some of the customers about having just come in from fishing for perch on Lake Erie, and when a customer asked if he caught the fish we were all eating...he said, "yup, we do it all here...catch 'em, cook 'em". Our only regrets? We were on the road and had a ways to go home, so we didn't have a beer. And we were so stuffed from lunch that we couldn't order dessert (cheesecake seemed to be a specialty here, and the Key Lime Cheesecake nearly made me crack!).

I think some of the reviews of Jake s are a bit picky. It is a fine place for lunch and dinner and they will gladly make concessions for the vegan or vegetarian. The veggie burger is a fine choice btw. But... What needs to be mentioned are chef Marty's breakfast pancakes, available on Saturdays and Sundays. So fluffy, big, and tasty. Just order 2 as they are more than abundant. And I find the service very good.

My husband and I went here for dinner for our first time. It was small area but the was plenty of seating, being a Saturday night. The hostess said she doubted they would get busy at all. We were set in the area that the servers went into the kitchen, so we had a lot of traffic near our table. I guess being an older house, every time someone would walk be fast our table would shake. The waitress was very pleasant and tentative to us. Everyone was very friendly. My husband ordered the red snapper, with rice and green beans, he said it was really good. The snapper was perfectly cooked. I had the house salad with salmon, and the mussels. My salad was good, the house dressing is really good especially when paired with the salmon that was cooked just right. I was disappointed in the mussels, some of them were tough and the white wine/olive oil sauce was not flavorful. Also it was suppose to come with a piece of bread according to the menu, which was not served at all. I may go back, but maybe for lunch instead of dinner.

Mediocre food, basically bland.

My husband and I finally stopped at Jakes for the first time to get brunch. Blown away. The eggs Benedict was amaaaaazing. The Baja -hollandaise like- sauce was the perfect finishing touch. Hash browns were awesome and I usually don't eat hash browns. The waitress was really really nice and the atmosphere was cozy and I loved all the windows! Obviously it would be amazing if they were on the lake but whatever I'm over it. Can't wait to go back!

Local small get hearing place. Friendly staff. Food on the bland side, had the chicken paprikash. Seems the clientele may be older so maybe hence the conservative spice factor. Great area for potential.
(3)Jon S.
Nice neighbor bar and grill. Good burgers and specials. I had the seafood pasta (very tasty). Drink specials. Great location. Can't go wrong with this place for casual dining.

Classic American restaurant with bar food. My staff team comes here for lunch during our meetings. They offer some great standards (chicken caesar wrap, reubens, lake erie perch fry) and sometimes some Polish foods (chicken paprikash). I've had the pierogies (really good), spring salad with chicken (greens, candied pecans, raspberries, strawberries, apples), chicken caesar wrap and the Lake Erie Perch. All pretty decent. Definitely a go-to place for our team, nothing too out of the ordinary or spectacular. Service is a little slow--we usually have about 6 or 7 people going though. Lots of tvs with sports channels. Nice local establishment in the burbs!
(2)Mandy H.
Always love the perch! My husband LOVED the calamari. Peiroges were excellent. Not a huge fan of the chips. Waitress was nice. This is our second time and we will continue to return
(4)Julianne H.
We love Jakes! Casual atmosphere. Great for kids and family. Specials are always good - when Lake Erie perch is fresh, count on Jakes to have the best fish fry in town. Giant salads too!
(5)Jen V.
We love jakes for breakfast! They have the most AMAZING eggs Benedict, a must eat, I promise you won't be sorry! They always have interesting seasonal specials as well. Jakes is great for dinner too if you are looking for bar food with a twist. They have a full bar and even some micro brews. The service is always quick without feeling rushed. They also have a nice fish fry Fridays during lent.

We recently moved back to the area and have been looking for some good local joints for us to become regulars. I can say, without a doubt, that we've found our place at Jake's. We've only been there on two occasions, but we will be going back many more times. Let me describe both that were wonderful. Visit One: Brunch after church. I had the Corned Beef Hash, which is made there. It was delicious, and I enjoyed every bite. The amazing part, however, was that my wife actually loved the sausage gravy. She's quite a gravy snob, and this was literally the first place I've been to with her where she actually approved of the sausage gravy that was not the place she grew up going to. This alone is proof this place is awesome. Visit Two: Lent Fish Friday. My wife had the perch. Loved it. I had the Walleye Milanese. Holy cow, I will dream about that fish! Highly recommended. Overall we love this place. You may, too. If you're on the fence, give it a try; maybe you'll be lucky and love it like we do.
(5)Jaret K.
I went with my wife for breakfast for the first time. It was just okay. Reminded me of an old person restaurant. The food was just average. There are better places for breakfast so I don't plan to likely come back anytime soon.

The only bad thing about Jakes is that it's in Ohio and I'm in Maryland. I was visiting family when I ran across this gem of a place. Years ago it was Herbs Tavern on the lake, glad Jake has it now as it's absolutely delicious! I had the Chicken Paprikash..really, really GOOD! I started with a garden salad, completely fresh with crisp lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, shredded cheese and croutons. Loved the Thousand Island dressing. Definitely not using bagged salad here, I was in salad heaven! My 3 and half yr old daughter had the grilled cheese and fresh cut fries.. Holy smokes, I could hardly keep my hands off her plate. She ate about half, which is saying something because usually it will only be a few bites. My boyfriend had a sausage and peppers sandwich... devoured it along with the awesome fries. The best part was the chocolate cake, my mouth is watering just thinking about it. I can't remember the exact name, it had a chocolate ganache in between layers of chocolate cake. It literally was the best cake I have ever tasted. I CANT WAIT TO COME BACK IN THE FALL!!!

The burgers are excellent and cooked to order - there are plenty of options for toppings too. I wasn't a big fan of the fries, but the kettle chips are very good. It wasn't too loud even though there were a couple large parties there at the same time we were. A great place to grab a burger - we will be back.
(5)Tom T.
Great place. The atmosphere is great. Not only do they have great lunch and dinner menu, they also have breakfast!!
(5)Tiffany A.
The veggie burger was meh. I used the top bun to soak up the grease from the fries which were soggy and limp. Will not be back.
(1)Andrea W.
Our favorite spot in Avon Lake by far. The meatloaf on special Tuesdays is exceptional. Always good beer options on tap- pumpkin ales in the fall, Christmas ales in winter. The buffalo chicken pasta as well as the fried brussel sprouts are to die for. Fast, friendly and inviting service. Owner is here and attentive. Five stars all the way.
(5)Michael K.
Jakes is nice quint little restaurant near but not on the lake. The nice house setting is unique and different from your average restaurant/bar. Try to get there early during the dinner rush because it is a bit small inside. Lake Erie perch is probably the best dish there. Lots of genuine Cleveland dishes like porgies here. They often have special including the buffalo chicken pasta which wasn't really impressive. It was pretty much noodles in spicy buffalo sauce and that's it. The garlic beard it came with however was to die for. Good selection of beer and beverages at a decent price

What can I say? When this place was Herb's on Lake, it was an Avon Lake institution. I can't say so much for Jakes. The food is just ok. I ordered salmon, which was fine, but it came with frozen veggies, which are not ok. Even a hole-in-the wall, should have fresh veggies. My relatives had sandwiches and french fries and the fries looked fresh at least. Service was fine -- it wasn't busy. The bartender changed the channel so that I could watch the OSU game. Outdoor seating is available during nice weather. Prices are average. I think my salmon dinner was around $12. Would I go back? Yes, but I would not order anything with vegetables.
(3)A M.
Great Food and good drinks. When it was under Herb's management I quit going when I reconized much of the food was frozen GPS food. Jake's is much better and drinks aren't watered down. I admit that sometimes the service is a little slow, but not that bad. Also the tables are very close together in the lower section...but they have to work with what they have. I love going there and hope they have a long and profitable time in that location.

Sometimes you wish Yelp had half-stars because I would give Jake's a 3.5. First, I think this is more of a neighborhood place than a destination place. So you east-siders looking for some west-side lakeside ambiance, not here. As one reviewer noted, it isn't on the lake side of Lake Road and the only Lake Erie views you'll get is driving there and wondering where the owners of those big houses got their money. I actually frequent this place regularly and get their wings appetizer with a side salad-both very good. Wings are piping hot and you can actually taste chicken. Don't laugh-some wings it's hard. The Prime Rib special used to be a real bargain but the last one I got was a little disappointing - not awful, but it didn't live up to previous visits. Also enjoy the Friday fish fry-all you can eat but unless you're binging due to a recent break-up or or in training to be a lardo, one portion is way enough. Oh, and lots of large flat screen TV's tuned to the latest sports. I like the place.

I am a big fan of Jake's! Solid local restaurant with a great kitchen and great staff! We love the perch dinners, French Dip sandwiches, fries, Chef salads and Hot Wing Sauce. The owner is one of the "good guys" and tries to make sure everyone has a great meal. (I've never had a bad meal here.) I usually try one of the daily specials and daily soups and rarely get disappointed. The place is a nice old "roadhouse" and is a local favorite watering hole.

I ate brunch here. I had a long black hair in my eggs....i was never offered a replacement ...no I'm sorry.the server never checked back. I paid my bill and left hungry. Horrible service !
(1)L R.
I have been to Jake's with family 4 or 5 times, and everyone has always enjoyed what we ordered. It's cozy with a smaller dining area, and if the TV is on, it can be a little loud. The food has been enjoyable! Lots to choose from and something for everyone.

You can (and usually should) judge a restaurant first by the exterior, then the interior, then the service, then the food, then the price, and finally take the global view and ask: Would I send a friend here? Exterior is just okay; it sits in a residential area on a state highway, NOT on the lake, although I bet if you could get up on the roof, you could see the whitecaps. The patio in the back is even farther from the lake, but at least they do have outdoor seating. Interior is cozy, bordering on cramped. Bar is teeny-tiny but comfortable. We were in for that last-chance-at-breakfast-first-crack-at-lunch experience. Jake's opened last year, but it already has a comfortable "lived-in" vibe, which is nice. The service is erratic. Plates left on the table for the entire meal. Forgotten items. They do that "pile the napkins, pile the silver" service trick, which is okay for a diner, but I think Jake's is trying for something a bit more up-scale than that. The food? Okay, this isn't good. It isn't bad, though, either. It's just passable. As my partner said, There's really nothing wrong with this food, but it isn't anything special. She had a Cajun burger and asked if it were spicy, hoping that it WOULD be; it was bland. My perch sandwich? Same deal. Not much flavor. French toast? They could use some interesting bread with texture and flavor, which is the foundation of any good Froggy toast, in my opinion. Again, nothing was really wrong with the food, I guess they have their market pegged as "safe and sane" eaters. While the crowd was skewed just below middle-aged, most of the grub tasted like retirement home fare. Price was about what I expected, middle-range for a sit-down brunch, but with the quality of experience noted above, about twenty percent off, in THEIR favor. I can't recommend Jake's. I'll try again next fall, or next year, but it won't be high on my to-do list.

Meh. It says it has a view. It doesn't. It's way across the street from the lake. Seems like a local hangout and not really meant for business travelers like me. I tried their special which was the pork steak with onions and dumplings and the pork came out rare which kinda grossed me out. Their clam chowder was good! Service was just ok. Not very attentive but not exactly neglectful either. I won't be going back. I was most definitely not wowed.
(2)Kelly B.
Had dinner here last weekend. Friday night fish dinner ( battered fish, cole slaw and fries for $9.95.) So much food on the plate, we couldn't ask for more - and it was "all-you-can-eat." Can't wait to go back and try something else on the menu. I had wanted to go to this place for a long time and kept forgetting about it. They should increase their advertising. It's fun finding a new spot you really like that isn't part of a chain. Great food, service, location and prices. Check for nightly specials.
