Went after golf 7/5/2013, around 1pm.  Very nice building, open floor, very welcoming ladies, tv's everywhere.  AND.... even a flattie at the table!!  With the DirecTV remote in front of me.  Tuned immediately to Fox news, toggling to Fox business and CNBC.  The market is up today.  Anyway, ordered der Pork Schnitzel lunch special  - $6.95.  It came on a large plate with TWO boneless pork (chops I think), breaded and smothered in a very nice gravy, a heaping portion of rice and large serving of blanched yellow zucchini.  I found it to be very palate pleasing and filling. Pork was tender. Â
This was my first time here, on the recommendation of one of the guys who has been several times. Â They had nachos, seafood bites and chowder, and the cuban sandwich. Â I heard no complaints. Â Just munching as we discussed the turmoil in Egypt, right to work impact on teachers (metrics measured to classroom success geared to MEAP is ill-conceived, teach normally and develop better metrics).
Nicely done, even if I did have to back track a few miles to get home.
Art & Jakes is by no means groundbreaking, but not every restaurant has to be a culinary abstract masterpiece. While having quirks and originality is what my favorite restaurants are made of, I would never dismiss a place just because it wasn't different and unique.
This place has what I'm looking for when I am in a sports bar, a good variety of burgers, excellent french fries, and beer. Art & Jakes has this, and for that I cannot knock them. I had the aloha burger, which was topped with pineapple slices, bourbon sauce and a slice of American cheese. I love when restaurants realize how tasty pineapple is on array of dishes. I was with a fairly large group, and didn't hear one complaint out of anyone, which a rarity anymore.
Overall, this is a decent place worth checking out at least a few times if you live in the area. I'll be back at least one more time for some "moderate alcohol consumption".
I have been to this place 3-4 time and also order carry out as many times. Â No bad experiences and service has been good. Â Not sure if we have been lucky or some of the below customers have been the norm with bad experiences. Â We do think its a bit pricey and a bit loud when busy but still a good option in Romeo.
Review Source:My husband and I have had great dinners here in the past, but our last visit is our very last. Â The server was not interested in her tables, she was more talkative to fellow waitstaff. Â The hamburger was not cooked fresh off the grill, it came watered down in au juice and tasted awful. Â I had food poisoning the very next day and I do believe it was from the chicken salad I ordered. Â So truly, this is our last trip there!
Review Source:I was leary after seeing some of the reviews, but I have to say, I had a very positive experience at Art & Jakes. Â Our service was very good. Â Our server, and another gal were always stopping by to check, but not too much. Â Was craving a burger so bad, it was a toss up between the Aloha Burger (grilled pineapple, bbq sauce, and american cheese) or the Sweet Home Alabama (cole slaw, bbq sauce, and swiss) - Our server said she liked the Sweet Home, so that's what I got....and she did not steer me wrong. Â It was prepared perfectly medium, nice and juicy, and the all the flavors fused very nicely...paired with a couple of Stella's.. DYnoMITE!
Review Source:I've given this place two tries. The food was OK not bad, not spectacular. Me personally if I'm drinking beer I like to drink locally made beer. Only the standard domestic beer and a full liquor shelf. The ambiance was nice sports bar style, a lot of TVs even some of the tables had their own TV. The waitress on the first visit was good for being busy. Second time only three tables full and two waitresses on the floor, ours was slow and never came to check on us. We had no ketchup and  wife's Coke was gown.
Review Source:Went here for the first time and I was impressed for a sports bar. I went during lunch time, which could be like day and night in the evening! Ha! day and night! Anyway, staff was friendly, tables and floors were clean, not the typical sticky table tops of sports pubs. I ordered a burger with an egg and bacon and cheese with fries! OMG! It was delicous!!! Fries were typical seasoned fries, but overall I had a good experience. I will be returning in the future!
Review Source:The menu has everything you can imagine, tacos to wraps, borritos and kabobs. The food was great, my boyrfriend got a amazing spicy chicken sandwhich; I got the taco salad. I would get both again, but theres so much on the menu that I still want to try.
Went on a Thursday, which happens to be "$3 you call its" including beer and literally any type of liquor, even top shelf. I was happy to know they actually made the drink I asked for.
Gave it 4 stars only because the waitress was slow to get to us in the beginning and kept running to and from the kitchen and bartender when we asked her certain questions on the menu. It was her second day on the floor, but it can be expected for a new employee.
As this was my first time here, I will continue to go for the food and atmosphere.
