    Baja Taco
    Kayla H.

    This review is based on Jake's food. I am still always impressed by the quality and variety of the food they offer at Jake's. They of course have the typical bar food, but the quality is great. They also have more unique options like the Tree Hugger Sub or the Baja Burger which are solid choices. Even their side salads are substantial and I love their ranch dressing. I enjoy eating there especially for lunch or picking up. The service is always quick and friendly. And their prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend giving their menu a try.

    Delicious Monday hot dog special!! Added a side and it was still under $5!!

    I love a good hot dog and they are hard to find. FOUND ONE!! The all beef hotdog is grilled; so I got it with a little extra time on the grill. The chili & coleslaw is house made - did not disappoint. Added a side of crispy tots - perfect!! Will definitely get this special again!

    The food was excellent! Ordered a grilled chicken sandwich which came with tomatoes lettuce and mayo. It was a chicken breast!! Which is top notch for this option. The seasoning was savory. It was not as busy as my brother told me it could be, there is a parking lot in the back. We found a spot as soon as we arrived. The inside was definitely full of patrons. We ordered at the bar and the food was "magically " delivered to our table. Come and you'll see what I mean. The mozzarella sticks were also very good. Draft by red oak, cold and crisp. Good vibe. And there is a pool table and darts. A few other attractions as well.

    Jake's is the right vibe for great drinks, pool, and bar style food options. This is a nice local spot, with low lights, and a variety of music. The tap and house drink specials are well blended and reasonably priced. I like the convenience of onsite parking too. I'll definitely be coming back for another round and a few more games of pool.

    Grilled buffalo chicken wrap with sweet potatoe fries and honey mustard
    Kylonda G.

    I've been to Jake's plenty of times, usually to drink and grab wings and fries to soak it up--but this time I stumbled on something worth writing home (or Yelp) about. First off: the grilled chicken buffalo wrap. I am NOT usually a chicken wrap person (too many tortilla-only bites at the end, you know the struggle). But Jake's changed my mind. Perfectly filled from start to finish, with lettuce, tomato, buffalo sauce, and grilled chicken that actually tasted like chicken and not filler. Paired it with sweet potato fries + honey mustard (because honestly, if you're not doing that combo, what are you even doing?). It was so good, I ordered a second one to-go for my fiancé. He crushed it too. Service? On point. My dog came with me to the patio, and without me even asking, the server brought out a doggy bowl with cool water. My pup devoured it like I hadn't already hydrated him earlier. They even refilled it, which made the whole experience feel extra thoughtful. Now, the one downside: the house margarita. Look, Jake's, I love y'all, but that mix was weak. A house marg should be simple--tequila + tartness + salt rim magic. What I got tasted like tequila mixed with... water that once thought about limes. Definitely needs a remix. But outside of that, Jake's is a vibe: good service, dog-friendly patio, and wraps that will now be my lunchtime staple whenever I'm in the area.

    Look at this Cobb salad
    Schelena S.

    You cant tell me jakes doesn't have the best Cobb salad in greensboro and the ranch oh my god the ranch i could dip anything in it. The staff and service are always amazing and the food is always consistently good. The vibes are always super chill even at 3 in the afternoon!

    Buffalo Chicken sandwich with hot bbq sauce
    Cara A.

    I'm gonna say it: Jake's Billiards has the best fried chicken sandwich in the Triad. The outside is crunchy, and the chicken is juicy; not one bite was tough or rubbery. I got the classic chicken sandwich, which is topped with lettuce, tomato, and mayo. My husband had the Buffalo Chicken sandwich, which comes with your choice of wing sauce; he had the spicy bbq sauce and said it was definitely spicy. If a place has hot chips, it's almost a guarantee that I'll get them. And Jake's hot chips come with ranch, and were perfectly cooked. I demolished them, and left very little room for my chicken sandwich. The assortment of beers is also excellent. They have tons of beers on tap, including local, NC beers. Our lunch came out super quickly, making this is a great spot for a quick lunch out on a work day. But, with billiards inside and an extensive drink list, you could probably spend a fair amount of time here, if this is your vibe. I feel like Jake's is the kind of place with a loyal following. If that's the case, count me in as part of it.

    Jake's is one of my favorite bars/pool halls in Greensboro, for a lot of reasons! There's plenty of places to park, drinks are reasonably priced, and the food and service is always top notch! Vegetarians will be happy here there are a lot of vegetarian options! I get their veggie burgers or their tree hugger sandwich and one of my all time favorites are their black bean sticks! I've always heard amazing things about their wings from my friends as well. They do start ID'ing after a certain time, and it does get kinda packed on the weekends. Takeout options are available! There are various activities throughout the bar, there is a ping pong table in the back, and darts tables as well. There's a lot of places to sit and you can also play pool and eat at the same time as there are tables and booths all around the area! Overall a great place to watch a game, get a drink, play some pool and eat some amazing food as well

    Once again I'm dragged back into the amazing world of Jake's Billiards. Taco Tuesday for the win! $3 Mexican beers! $2 tacos! $4 sangria. Sign me up! Loved the Baja taco. The aioli and the mango salsa were huge highlights. I look forward to visiting again and again and again!

    Not me writing this review while listening to a medieval hip hop version of STILL D.R.E. STILL - Repping the best chicken cobb salad all across the world. STILL - Hittin them crispy tots with the seasonings girl... STILL - Taking their time to perfect the Beef, and they're still across the street from the Sheetz. It's the J.B.L. All 2000s nostalgia aside, Jake's is still my absolutely go to for the best "bar food" in Greensboro. Starting with their excellent wings and sauces, cobb salad, chicken sandwiches or wraps, a litany of "fried deliciousness", and a darn good burger this place has it all. Plus, they have an extensive beer list, wines for those who prefer grape expectations, and can make you most any cocktail you please. Just go and enjoy!

    Been here multiple times and it's always a good time. Great food and many different taps to choose from. Pool tables all over as well as ping pong. Plenty of seating area inside and out.

    This is my local hang. Wings are good and bear is even better. Perfect spot to come at football during football season.

I had a beer while waiting at the bar. Some large groups came in with a lot of kids, but the staff did not miss a beat. They have quite a large menu as you can see. My burger was very good and I'll be back again! Edit: side note: today I received a Notice of Non compliance for parking in a private lot from Professional Parking Management. I parked in the Upper Deck parking to order my food. I went over and they do have parking fee signs all over which I missed.

The drinks from the bartender were great, but the service experience could have been better. The attitude and overall energy felt a little off. It seemed like there was a lot going on, and the way we were serviced was affected by that. The service was very straight-faced, and a few items we requested were forgotten. I understand they were getting closer to closing and focused on cleaning up, but we had to go out of our way--almost waving or being extra noticeable--to get their attention. Also, when we asked about the specials listed on the flyer, we were told there were no specials, which was disappointing and felt like false advertising. The food was good, although I do wish it was served a little hotter. Overall, it was an okay experience. The music was great, and the atmosphere had a nice vibe.

The service isn't going to be in and out as this isn't a large place with lots of wait staff. Expect to be here at least an hour. They have Coors on draft (nostalgia for the Mr.) and tall boy PBRs. Not your thing? Don't let that deter you bc they are one of the few places I have seen who has Old Rasputin on DRAFT. Those not familiar, this is a Russian imperial stout by North Coast Brewery out of Ft Bragg, California. Something I haven't had since... well, I lived in California. Personally, one of my favorite stouts. Beer not your thing? They have an array of specialty contrails and some solid liquor choices including buffalo trace's limited purchase bourbon (eagle rare/ blantons). Food: the Brussels, sandwiches, and salads looked amazing (neighboring patting got those). We split a few things: Brisket: nit the best I have ever had, but solid choice. Maybe not for the $, but it was fall apart brisket. Wings: these are crispy fried with sauce on the side. A little hard but good. Not my favorite. The poutine was by far a favorite with the melty cheese and the gravy was delicious. We also had the street corn and with the lime was pretty good as well. These 4 things were plenty for the 2 of us with a little extra. We didn't mind paying the extra because of the experience. I did about die of heat, but I should have put a hair the in my bag and wore a skit or just not jeans. We will definitely be back.
