Jake Hafner's Restaurant & Tavern

We were seated right away but service was horrible the whole dinner.  My Portobello burger was flavorless. The mushroom tasted watery, not seasoned at all.   I will probably come back and try something else. My husband continues to visit with his boss while on town.  I believe in second chances or perhaps a great waitress.

This place was very busy when I was there with a friend for St. Patrick's Day.  The staff seemed over whelmed and looked like they were having a hard time keeping up.  It took us a very long time to get our first drinks and decided not to get anything to eat.  Over all we had a good time and we will be checking out the place again when I'm in town.

The burgers are the BEST: fresh, done exactly to order, and on a roll that perfectly holds the patty while absorbing the delicious juices. I had the blackened Cajun burger--rare--which was sort of a litmus test as to their burger expertise. It was Perfect!
The house salad dressing is an orange-balsamic, which is really yummy, sweet-tangy, and like none I have had before.
The service was friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating as we came in without a reservation on a busy night. We sat on the bar side, which was casual, noisy, and good-natured. We were greeted with a large bowl of fresh popcorn, which was perfect as we were traveling and were very hungry from the get-go.
We will absolutely come back if we return to the area!  I will give it a 5 if the second visit is as good!!
