I am a big fan of their burgers. Â We don't have many fast food places out our way, so their burgers remind me of Wendy's but better. Â I had a Five Guys once and I like Jake's better and they are cheaper than Five Guys. Â You can get the Junior burgers (which comes with one patty on it) or get the Jakes burger (which has two patties on one sandwich), or if you are daring get the big Jakes (which has three patties on one). Â My husband and I are satisfied with the Juniors because we also get their homemade potato chips! Â SO GOOD!!! Â You can also get BBQ seasoning on them. Â Highly recommend stopping in for a burger to try it at least once. Â You got to love the retro feel of the place too.
Review Source:I guess in the area the appropriate place to compare Jake's to would be 5 Guys so here we go:
Staff: Â The staff was friendly enough in explaining the menu and while there is no yelling of "Got It" after you order they more than make up for that non sense by bringing your order out to your table which is something that 5 Guys does not do.
Menu: Both menus are similar but Jake's offers more variety with Turkey & Garden Burgers along with Chicken items and Milk Shakes.
Flavor: Even though I'm not really a fan of the fries at 5 Guys, their fries are still better than Jake's and I think that may have something to do either with the freshness of the fries or the oil that their cooked in because to me Jake's are not good.
On the other hand the burger and the bun were surprisingly good.
The bun is non-seeded and honestly a bit too large for the burger but it was soft and was an appropriate accompaniment for the burger.
The burger itself was to me a 100% 5 Guys clone or 5 Guys is a 100% Jake's clone as I couldn't tell a difference in flavor or texture between the two.
Price: Â Prices are similar although I believe that Jake's might be a tad more expensive but either way it's pretty much a push between the two on this point.
Decor: Â The inside of the store is laid out simple with one TV on in the corner set to ESPN and there are several regular and high topped tables with the overall seating capacity being somewhere around 50.
One thing that is a huge positive is that while they do play music in the store, at least while we were there, everything was of a more appropriate nature from the 50's and 60's as opposed to 5 Guys who plays stuff from the 70's and 80's that regularly include songs with profane lyrics (i.e. F*&^ and S$*^).
Overall Jake's was a pleasant surprise as the food was of a good quality and while I didn't like the fries, everybody else in our group had the house-made chips and all vouched for their flavor so I would imagine that we'll be back in the near future.
I have been to this restaurant location 2 times and that was all it took for me to not go to five guys anymore. Jake's burger is juicy and their toppings are fresh. They use green leaf lettuce and good quality pickles and tomatoes. The homemade chips are fantastic. I tried the jake's burger for the first time and it was really good. A single party does make a perfect meal but the double party was calling to us today. I am not going to pretend it is the greatest burger I ever ate because it wouldn't be true. But it is the best counter service burger I have had in this area. The 3 of us ate for $20.
My 3 year old really likes he burger here  he likes mustard and pickle on his burger.  I think the kids meal is priced right. The milkshakes are really good.  We tried a chocolate one.
The restaurant is clean, the staff is friendly and the food is consistent. Â I live within walking distance of the five guys and it is my pleasure to drive 10 minutes to get here. Also you can pre-order online which is pretty nice. I am sure we will be here a bunch in the spring, summer and fall for lunch after we go to the zoo.
I ordered a plain burger with bacon. Â The burger was very juicy and the juices ran everywhere. Â The burger didn't have much flavor.
The onion rings were very greasy and were mostly fried batter, blech. Â
The best thing I had were the homemade chips.
A cool thing is that you can order online and then just pick up :)
Everyone raves about their milkshakes.
