Jake's Restaurant and Tavern

As I walked in, the smell of cigarettes, weed, and must hit me, food was ok, first time here but safe to say we won’t return. Was informed out of multiple menu items, but not till we were sat and ordering before we were informed. Tons of dead flys in the window sill of our table, definitely decreased our appetites as well as the horrendous smells we were surrounded by. Server seemed very occupied, making multiple trips outside and coming back in smelling obnoxiously of cigarettes, also seemed very focused on her phone, rather than customers and her job, not to mention the service was horrible. Wouldn’t be a bad place to get a to go order if you can stand the smell while you wait, but wouldn’t recommend dining in. With it being a small town and hardly any restaurants, we tested our luck wi

This place was recommended by the hotel we were staying in. We walked in and it reeked of cigarette ashes. Kitchen crew was loud and obnoxious with a lot of swearing. There was no way for us not to hear it. When it came time to order, they were out of so many different things and we weren't even warned they were out of menu items. No rice, no baked potatoes, no mashed potatoes, no gravy, no steak tips. We all ordered fried food figuring that was the safest and that was decent but not what we wanted. I'm really not hard to please and totally laid back. I've worked in kitchens for many years so I get it. This was disappointing all around and no one seemed sorry. This was also a Saturday evening, around 6pm

This is a good place to have a quick meal or come at night and hang out at the bar. The service was good, menu had a lot of choices and the food came very fast. It was tasty and it had a ok presentation. I really was expecting less from a pub type of restaurant during off season. There was plenty of parking lot.

We were anxious to return due to visiting many years ago. It's not the same. The selection on the menu is limited. Mostly fried foods. Some dishes were okay, while others were awful. The server brought our appetizers, drinks and entrees, and never returned. Typically we tip high, mostly depending on service. We tipped what I felt was fair, 20%. It wasn't deserved but my heart couldn't go lower.

I can tell this is a nice local business with an awesome bar with pool tables and lots of local beers on tap. However, the restaurant section seems to have been somewhat neglected. Prices are a little higher than printed on the menu, plus I got initially charged for an extra beer before I mentioned it. More than that, though, the lobster bisque is just very bad. I saw a review saying the same but decided it must just be some guy who didn't like it. Not so. It tastes and looks like an extraordinarily pale bowl of cream - I'm genuinely not sure if blindfolded I could tell it was seafood, or indeed a dish at all. I really couldn't eat it, even trying to make bites more palatable with oyster crackers. I didn't identify any lobster at all either, though there were a few 1-2mm^3 pieces of someth
