I stopped in today after finding out about Jake's on TikTok and I'm glad I did! I went with a friend and we're sat immediately for brunch. The restaurant itself needs a little TLC, especially on the building's facade. The inside is cute old timey diner. Our waitress was very kind- attentive but not overbearing and made sure that we were comfortable. We were given two menus (breakfast and lunch) and the choices seemed endless. They even had specials on a white board. I ended up ordering a tea and the crabby man special. This special had a crab cake, bacon, eggs, toast, and homefries! All for $11.50. You can't beat that price. The crab cake was made with imitation crab but it was still delicious. I liked the breading they used and the portion was large. My eggs were cooked perfectly over easy. Bacon was nice and crisp. Home fries could have used more seasoning but were cooked well. Toast needed a little more time in the toaster. But overall, for the price this was a great meal! My friend and significant other enjoyed their meals as well. Jake's may not be my go to spot in Fairhaven but I'm happy with the service and food I had today! And $38 before tip for 3 people with three meals and three drinks is an absolute steal. read more

Jake's Diner - Crabby man special - Diners Near Me - Fairhaven, Massachusetts

I feel bad writing this review as I really wanted to like this little old fashion dinner for breakfast, but the food was not good. First, our waitress was great, although I don't know her name. The shredded home fries were awful, I could still taste them an hour after we left. A simple egg sandwich had a funky taste, I believe it was the bacon and the coffee was not great. We reached out to a friend from New Haven after we left, she said we should have gone to Phoenix restaurant. I don't work for the Phoenix, I believe it's important to share actual experiences, so restaurants hopefully improve. read more

amazing food, i got a hungry man and a side of hash. Hash was crispy and food was amazing eggs must be the best i've had in a long time. The service alone was something to speak for. Friendly and fast they provided an atmosphere that was of genuine interest and capacity to due an amazing job. The decor was amazing and I had no complaints. If i could eat here everyday until I died I would. read more

Tried Jake's for the first time but unfortunately we were less than impressed. I ordered the Lisbon omelet which consists of Portuguese hash. But what i got was a well made omelet but their version of hash is not the usual tastiness I'm accustomed to. I actually had to add salt since the hash was just mashed up (saltfree?) chorico; my hashbrowns were unseasoned cubes of potatoes with zero love so they were left lonely along with the chourico I scraped out of my omelet. My husband ordered the lumberjack and enjoyed it but subbed out his hashbrowns for beans that were very burnt tasting. The coffee was weak and lukewarm. The diner itself is great, very nostalgic which can stir up fond memories for us older folk. The inside temp was very comfortable. It seemed cleanish; Bathroom needs professional cleaning, borderline gross. Our waitress was in more of a robot mode since she was probably on her feet since early morning. We waited over 20 mins and our food came out the same time as those who had just placed order. Maybe it was an off day or had my order been different I might have given another star. read more

Jakes diner has really good food but they're a bit over priced considering theres multiple other good breakfast / Lunch place options around the area. I will say I was given expired sweet n sour sauce the last time I ate there and ate half of it before I realized it. I knew something seemed off then my wife told me to stop eating it and checked the date and it was like 6 months expired which was wild. I still gave the 4 stars because the food was good but you need to do better checking dates of stuff because if it was my kids that had eaten expired stuff I would have been very angry read more

The service was quick. The food was great diner food. The prices are reasonable. Will be back! read more

I love a diner and we walked in and waited 5 minutes !!!! Everyone was so pleasant and the place is packed with townies. I ask the server what to get and they steered me away from the obligatory steak & eggs and said her this omelette with Cacoila is a pork meat and it comes with a sweet au jus !! The grilled English muffins was a nice touch ! Shelly was the best and got both orders quick and the coffee is ok and Shelly has a great smile and kept us happy My buddy got a regular omelette and both breakfasts were 20 bucks ..... so affordable and good read more

Cool place, Friendly service. Food OK. It is hard to mess up breakfast, but somehow, they manage.

Good service, cute decor. But. The food is subpar. Omelets had hardly any cheese or vegetables. Bread for toast was kind of tasteless. Mac's down the road is superior. read more

Great ambiance, I love the old diner car theme. Even better food. My favorite breakfast place in Mass

Traditional diner atmosphere with a very good looking menu! Lots of options! We got the Portuguese Benny and Hash and Roll Benny with a single crepe. Very tasty but the potatoes could be cooked a little more, that's the ONLY reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5. Waitress was very friendly and enlightened us when we inquired about the age of the diner. It's been here since the 80's! read more

Jake's Diner - a plate of food and a cup of coffee - Diners Near Me - Fairhaven, Massachusetts

The cook doesn't know how to cook scrambled eggs. They're always like rubber. Even if u ask for soft scrambled. 1 star for that.

Nice place good food and service was satisfactory. Only thing really preventing it from being a 4 star is how overpriced they are from a breakfast diner standpoint esp. when there are multiple other places to go eat breakfast nearby that are all cheaper with more seating read more

Very good place for breakfast! The diner has plenty of seating, clean and nostalgic. I had the hungry man special and it was good. Service was fantastic. She was very nice! Prices are comparable for breakfast food in the area. read more

Now this a a great dinner plus the Chef is the best around, the food is outstanding. The servers are terrific always remembering us when we enter. The food is fresh and delicious. You can tell that it is carefully sourced and thoughtfully prepared. I wish that they had front patio/deck in the front of the Diner for alfresco dining. The parking lot is more then ample. The owner has a top notch establishment. Keep up the great work! read more

A great place here in Fairhaven and it comes at you so unexpectedly. We had blueberry pancakes and the Portuguese omelette. Service was exceptional and fast and there is no question my omelette was very well prepared. I had a slight issue with the potatoes because I really hate that too many places are just deep frying potatoes now instead of making real home fries, but I still see this place as proving an excellent breakfast. read more

I don't normally give reviews. I figured I'll start since I rely on other ppl reviews. Jakes Diner was pretty good. I had the feta/spinach omelette with home fries and rye toast, that was a bit over cooked. The coffee wasn't strong enough for my taste. Other than that the place was clean and the wait staff wore masks. Very friendly atmosphere. I do recommend giving them a try. read more

This is good home cooking! Can't say enough! Staff is friendly and place is clean! Food is great! Yum!

Absolutely delicious food! Friendly service & polite very reasonable in price and food portions! Our go to breakfast spot

Sunday morning before "The rush." 3 egg Spanish omelette with wheat toast and home fries, and a waffle with strawberries and whipped cream. Easy, right? Waffle wasn't badly cooked but the strawberries had obviously been out for a while. Dried up and almost crispy. Spanish omelette, undercooked inside, along with a slurry of cheese that appeared to be milky and tasteless, onions and crisp green peppers, again undercooked. Home fries were seasoned and the highlight on the plate. Service was attentive, even if new and obviously inexperienced, but certainly made a stellar effort. I will pass by next time, but as we left there was a wait for tables, so maybe they are doing something right here,? I just didn't see it on this visit. read more

I like the food here, but they never seem to get my order right. I ordered the Model T Chicken Salad again this time. Several bites into it and I said to Abner "Hey, isn't this supposed to have bacon in it?" I couldn't believe they forgot this again (read my review from 2013). I reached behind me to get the lunch menu and verified that bacon is supposed to be on this wrap. This is the second time that I have ordered this and they forgot the bacon. It was like deja vu, 2013 all over again. There is a disconnect between the name of an item on the menu, what the server writes on the slip, what gets communicated to the kitchen and what comes to you on your plate. I asked for a Model T with chicken salad. The server said I need to ask for the Motel T, BLT. (What?????). Why would you call a regular chicken salad wrap a Model T? Isn't the reason it is called a Model T because it has the bacon lettuce and tomato on it? As a customer, this is confusing. I didn't like that it was somehow becoming my fault for not understanding the idiosyncrasy of ordering this sandwich. In addition, my meal came with onion rings that I did not order. The clam cakes were delicious though. The server was okay, but she seemed bothered when we asked her for things. read more

This place is okay, waitress a mess she was bouncing from one place to another in a sec. The tables dirty, utensils with stains.

Tried this spot for the first time yesterday. The waitress was very kind and attentive. I ordered the Portuguese eggs benedict. It was delicious; I devoured every bite. Too bad it gave me food poisoning. read more

Not a bad spot. I had a meeting scheduled at a local company and was meeting my boss and a colleague for breakfast prior to the meeting. I showed up 45 minutes early and the server was not pushy and very friendly! When we ordered the food came out very quickly. The ham was good, the potatoes weren't my favorite, but were fine. Eggs were done just as I had ordered them. The people were all very friendly and the decor of the diner is very nice. I'm sure I'll be back in the future. read more

Ok. First off i am an old school Jersey diner guy. Jakes is old school. That is why whenever in the area I go go Jakes. Down to earth food, good coffee and have no idea where the rude staff are. I have never seen or heard them. Jake's keep doing what you do. read more

My fiance and I ate here on Sunday morning. The waitress was very nice and attentive. I got the spinach and feta omelet with egg beaters it was very good. The omelet had fresh spinach and the home fries were real potatoes. My fiance had eggs and pancakes. The pancakes were very good. We will surely be back. read more

WOW! I love this place soooo much! I come here every year for skating competitions and I never leave disappointed! I love their food and would totally recommend their eggs Benedict! The waitress was so kind and sweet and pleasant! Unfortunately, I didn't catch her name but hopefully I see her next year! I love the vibe of the place with it being so cute and cozy and on the more old fashioned side. And totally get the hot chocolate! Overall, I LOVED Jake's and I love going there every year and you should totally stop by! read more

Great breakfast place. Friendly staff and great food! Bring the kids! Old fashioned atmosphere making it a fun place to start your day!

Jakes diner is a great stop if your looking to take someone out to breakfast or lunch. With with the classic diner look it stands out amongst ordinary restaurants or food joints. The staff is friendly and energetic even in a rush. Our visit was busy an hour before close we ordered a muffin and lunch. Our drinks were brought to us within minutes of orders, or muffin followed yet only a moment after. Personally I don't mind the length before the meal, with such a splendid atmosphere it lets you enjoy being out and chatting with your party, and the food NEVER disappoints! read more

Threw a leg over my Harley and went to check this diner out Sunday morning.Had a pleasant ride getting here and found a few nice back roads along the way. My first look at the exterior and I wasn't very impressed.It really was pretty shoddy looking, and I questioned myself about going in.I was pretty hungry so,I went on in.It was much nicer on the inside,looked pretty clean so I decided to stay and plunked myself down at the counter.The place was just about empty but, somehow,I guess that nobody saw me come in and sit down.I did see a bunch of waitresses over in the corner having what looked like a hen party or something,I don't know.After awhile I raised my finger and mouthed the words-coffee please.A waitress kinda shuffled over with it and took my order.I decided on the steak tips and eggs special off the board with toast and home fries.Small portions but the tips were very flavorful.If you are in the parking lot and are starving and can wait awhile to get service,go on in..I'll pass by next time... read more
