Nice, friendly service. I am not a burger fan, but they have changed my mind! The burgers are fresh and the buns are special. We even went back the next day and had the seared pepper tuna appetizer and the noodle salad (without the noodles) with ahi tuna. Food and service was consistently very good. read more

Stopped here on our way to Montana. We arrived around 7:00 and was told the wait was 20-30 minutes. There were three bar stools open so we opted to skip the wait and sit there. Within 5 minutes everyone waiting with us were all seated...not sure what happened to 20 minutes. There were two people behind the bar who helped us. The drinks were good-we had Kettle One martini (MIL), hubby had a lemon drop and I had a Paloma. When we asked what we should try we were told more of what we shouldn't have vs what is good. Hmmm.... MIL had Salmon and said it was good. Hubby and I had potato skins and the steak bites. The potato skins were quite firm but still tasty. The steak bites were swimming in a very salty teriyaki-like sauce. So salty we couldn't finish them. I think our next time through we'd try somewhere else. read more

Grabbed food here with a coworker and it was so busy! Both the bar and restaurant side were full. Our waiter was a little off - he would walk away in the middle of us talking which was a little off putting. The tacos I got were good, but I really did not like the chicken one. I'd pass on that one. read more

Love this chain. Great atmosphere, expansive menu, ready and able service. Never had a meal at Jaker's that I didn't like.

Great food,good service. Pretty price and not as good as the sandpiper in my opinion but it's a nicer place. Very good ambience. read more

The food was good, service was exceptional and the ambiance was very homey and comfortable.

Our waitress, Theo, is outstanding! I was a waitress at a very expensive restaurant years ago so I know how much it takes to manage tables. The best characteristic about her is that she is authenticity interested in providing great service. Food was excellent as well. read more

Issac greeted us, what a nice young man. Very pleasant and helpful. Zoe was is our Server, very nice, cordial and attentive. The Freshly Baked Scones with whipped honey butter is excellent. We sat in the Bar, not noisy, very clean! Chicken Strips were So/So (Dry, Flavorless) fries were the best part of the meal. Onion Tings were okay as well. I would say if we ever make it back to the area we may try a new dining spot. read more

I literally stopped by here to watch the playoff games and I asked if they could just play cc or if they could at least turn up the volume a little bit because this is why we stopped by because it said BAR and grill, but they just shook their heads like they're so classy no, not classy not that classy!!!! and honestly not that good at food and our waiter messed up twice!!! read more

OMG, this is the best food and service in the Western United States. However, the prices are way out of our price range. We literally could not afford to order a main dish so we got full on a couple of appetizers. I'm really disappointed with the menu prices. It's ridiculous. read more

We had two people in our party. ordered salad bar and salmon. We had to wait over one hour and 15 minutes to get our salmon! Finally we just told them to box it up and took it home when they got it ready. They said they had been waiting for my side dish of broccoli to get done. How long does it take to steam broccoli? I can do it at home in 17 minutes! Service was terrible, but the salad bar and the scones were really good. We won't go back. It was our first visit and, unfortunately our last. read more

We were in town for a large group event (Scooter Cannonball 2025), and the people at our hotel recommended Jakers. Apparently they close at 10pm and we walked in at 9:05 and were turned away even though the place was still packed with other people from our event. Would not recommend. read more

Came in for lunch and ordered grilled Turkey Swiss and Tortilla Soup. The turkey is thin pre-sliced. They grilled the turkey until it was dry and grilled swiss on top. The "grilled" sourdough was actually toasted and then there was a light "smear" of mayo. The Tortilla Soup wasn't better. The "soup" was of a glue-like consistency, and it may or may not have had chicken involved. The chips were good. My waitress was wonderful and I ended up tipping her more than I paid for my lunch. read more

Jakers Bar and Grill - This is how the sandwich was served. I did cut it in half. Completely unappetizing plate that matched the food. - Steakhouses Near Me - Pocatello, Idaho

The food is good. But this restaurant has some of the most poorly trained staff at a Jakers we have ever encountered. Terrible hostesses. Poor servers and it just ruins the overall experience. read more

Absolutely the best restaurant experience I have ever had. Host, wait staff, bar and dinner were flawless. Perfectly seasoned entree and chilled salad plate. Thank you for your amazing dinner service and attention to the details. read more

I ordered the 5 ounce lobster tail. They took a rock lobster and cut it in half. The lobster was way over cooked and inedible. No way was it worth $35. read more

Tonight Took my mom for dinner on 78th birthday. Food was good but service was terrible! We were a table of 5. Arnold Palmers ordered waited forever. They were served with very little ice and all tea minimal lemonade. Server apologized..took order 2 of us got endless salad bar -wait and waited for salad bar plates. Asked server 2 xand 15 min later my husband walked to kitchen and asked for the plates. Then got salad . Waited for food asked for another clean salad plate (paid for endless salad bar) Asked 2x and never got one. Asked 3x for bread basket finally got some after dinner served. Water was not filled kept asking for water and it didn't come until done with dinner. Was told desert half price for birthday but was charged full price. Server stated she was so busy but place was not full of people. For $211 dollar bill on a 5 top we should have been taken care of much better than that. The food was good and that's why 3 star. Everyone has a bad night once in a while but when I asked to be charged for dinner salad instead of endless salad as we had to wait so long and then walk to kitchen to get the plates and never brought another, she said I brought you plates- I reminded her my husband had to walk to kitchen and request after we asked 2x- she said she would take off bill. We eat at Jakers often and this hasn't happened before. I still left $20 tip but the server ruined our my mothers birthday dinner vibe no bueno read more

I really like their seared tuna. The service was wonderful and food portions are huge.

Awful! Chicken was DRY served on 10 strands of DRY linguine. The crab, also dry looks like a can of crab dumped on top. Broccoli was so soft that it was mush. read more

Jakers Bar and Grill - Chicken ala Jakers - Steakhouses Near Me - Pocatello, Idaho

I am pleasantly surprised. I misjudged this place. I had the shrimp and sirloin with mashed potatoes and French onion soup. Disclaimer, I travel a lot very frequently across the entire West Coast. The French onion soup was a 9.5/10 very flavorful and well thought of and a filling. The shrimp sirloin was off the chain: 10/10 cooked wonderfully, Seasoned PERFECTLY. Mashed potatoes complimented everything nicely. My server was amazing as well. I am overall throughly satisfied and when I'm back I will definitely be back. Vibe is decent . Price was decent as well. Overall out of 100, I would give this a 90. Add sweet tea to the menu for us southerners lol! read more

We were greeted by a friendly host, and seated promptly. Our waiter, Tanner, was friendly, informative, polite, and professional! We ordered shrimp cocktail and seared Ahi Tuna, for appetizers. My husband ordered the Ribeye, Rare, and I had the Rib Cap Medium Rare. Both entrees were prepared perfectly, and seasoned nicely! Although we did not eat the scones, this time, we have had them previously, and they are DELICIOUS!We will make this a regular stop whenever we pass through. Restaurant was clean, as well as the restrooms. read more

Stopped here on my way through Pocatello. Got prime rib with a loaded baked potato and clam chowder. Prime rib was 14 oz and came as ordered (medium rare). Both the prime rib and the baked potato were well seasoned and tasted great. The clam chowder was over thickened and tasted like it had too much flour, otherwise good. Great liquor and beer selection, although drafts were somewhat flat. Atmosphere was great, and the restaurant was extremely clean. Staff were attentive and very kind. read more

Reservations for 10 at 6pm in a Friday night? Sure, come in a bit earlier and although we have a bunch of groups we will get you in. We've been here for family dinners on several occasions and always consistently solid food and service. Jakers has done a great job of turning this into a great addition to the dining community. The menu offers everything from happy hour apps to fine dining options. Most recently we came to celebrate a birthday and a few of the family joined in. Steaks were cooked to order. The Thai flatbread was so flavorful and the drinks were made to individual preference which was nice. 10 of us ate and 5 of us had drinks and the bill came to $380. Everyone had whatever they wanted and not surprisingly, we ate like kings. The house made rolls and honey butter are amazing! We easily polished off four baskets of those things. Once the kids discovered them it was game over. Our server Andie was really great and although I knew she was hustling several tables, she kept things on track. Definitely a favorite spot for us and we will be back again soon I'm sure. read more

Fabulous food and service! This is one of the best burgers I've had. My husband loved the amber ale he had.

Good service and ambiance, however, our entrees fell short of our expectations given the pricing - we'd say it was average, hence the rating. They do have an extensive menu and it could have been our selections (trout, salmon, and ribeye). That said, we would give it another try. read more

Jakers bar and Grill was a nice surprise! Our server was so friendly ! We walked in 15 minutes before closing and they didn't rush us and the food was great! Highly recommend Jakers. read more

We have eaten once at Jakes and decided to try their Thanksgiving dinner. Worst mistake we've ever made. The Thanksgiving dinner was the worst food we've ever had. The service was slow and that was after asking twice for the same thing. The green bean casserole, which is hard to mess up, was horrible. It was not made the classic way with cream of mushroom soup and the crispy onion rings were barely visible. There was very little gravy on the white turkey meat or mashed potatoes and when we asked for additional gravy so we could managed to swallow the dry meat, we got a small plastic container amounting to about a tablespoon for both plates. The only decent food we ate was the spinach dip served with bread, which was very good and saved us from not having dinner at all because the food was inedible. The pumpkin was decent and our bill was over $80.00. We didn't even have an alcoholic drink, just tea, which they ran out of. We'll never return to Jakes with their overpriced and unremarkable food. read more

Everything's amazing So good The whole family is so happy I ordered sirloin steak and it's cooked right The meat is so tender and flavorful Shrimp cocktail is amazing And we love the crème brûlée I highly recommend this dessert read more

Wow! Great food, great service and I didn't notice the ambiance:) Our server, Jace fretted us with a smile, was informative, friendly and efficient. My husband has the salmon said it was delicious!!! I had the avocado sandwich and the strawberry salad both yummy. We ended with the white chocolate brownie- it really wasn't like a brownie but was very good. We truly enjoyed everything but Jace made the experience exceptional!! Thank you! read more

Food was good, but we are not impressed by how they treat a large group of people. My mom celebrated her 82nd birthday here with 15 friends and family. They insisted on bringing the bill in one lump sum and not breaking it up for the individuals and couples. Then we asked if they had a dessert for the birthday girl and there was nothing free. The total bill was over $367 and they could not provide a single serving of dessert to my mother. Not impressed in Pocatello!! read more

Jakers Bar and Grill - Raspberry Margarita, Raspberry Lemon Drop - Steakhouses Near Me - Pocatello, Idaho

Have been in many times and get basically the same thing each time. Caesar salad, jaker's baker baked potato and the ribeye. They usually give some sort of fresh bread too. Bread is always good, and was served with honey butter this go round. Salad is always drowning in dressing. I recommend getting it on the side and controlling the flow. Steak is average to good. Was a bit tough but cooked to my order. Baked potato is the star of the show. Never been impressed with the service, but not a bad spot to hang out and watch a game on the various tv's. Solid 3.5, but rounding up due to lack of comparable options in the area. Considered rounding down due to the lackluster service. read more

I really wanted to like this place. The decor was welcoming like any bar and grill. THE SERVICE 4 stars for the woman waiting on us. She was kind, courteous, and introduced us to the local scones. This wasn't your traditional scone. This was a warm soft dinner roll that comes with their honey butter. Soooo good! THE FOOD The Cesar salad was nice and crispy. The hand cut filet turned out to be a hand burnt filet. I even asked for the steak to be medium rare and they just burnt it (see pic attached. read more

We are in town visiting from Oregon. We were looking for a good place for dinner and cocktails. This place was perfect. Great happy hour, great dinner menu, and great service! I wish I would've gotten our servers name in the bar area, as he was fantastic! He has a super deep voice and was very attentive. The coconut shrimp appetizer was exactly what I was craving. My husband was thrilled they had gluten free bun options. He also had a mud slide for dessert. This restaurant was exactly what we were looking for and if we ever get to the areas again, we will definitely be back. read more

For the price you pay, you would at least expect a decent meal, right? I ordered a steak, medium rare and what I got not even A1 would fix. They went straight past well done and ended up at congratulations. The mashed potatoes tasted like potato pearls. If they were actual potatoes, then they have an amazing ability to make them taste rehydrated. Aside from that, the service is good, like you'd expect from a chain restaurant. Overall, just amazed they charge what they do for what they give you. 3 stars because it was cooked and I didn't get sick, so there's worse out there for sure. read more

We enjoyed dinner tonight here at Jakers for my birthday celebration. The staff was very nice & Gil our waiter was AMAZING! He was funny, attentive, & very knowledgeable of the menu!!
