    Mediterranean Bowl, $23 prior to tax
    Vic C.

    Jake's On Main in Unionville is dog friendly with a nice outdoor patio with plenty of umbrellas for shade and heat lamps available when it is cold. You can find Jake's On Main right next door to Old Country Inn Restaurant and a few doors down Old Firehall Confectionery with street parking available and (free) parking lots available just a short walk away. My husband, our little girl dog and I came here with my friend and her mother and their cute little dog. My friend picked this restaurant since it is dog friendly and also we were feeling pretty hungry after walking around and hanging out in the area. We entered through the patio, which happened to be the time an employee was outside serving another patron. So she seated us immediately (she actually told us to find ourselves a table that we would feel most comfortable). We came on a Monday night, and since it was a little chilly, we were able to get the heat lamps on. The employee who took our order was also so thoughtful in suggesting to bring hot water for us and also warm water for the dogs so everyone can warm up. After we looked over the menu, my husband and I ended up ordering: Steak and Mushroom Poutine, $21 prior to tax- My husband decided to order this, although in the past, we have had poutine in Canada and just didn't like it. But he was hopeful that this might be different since this is served with grilled steak and sauteed mushrooms (and with gravy, cheese and served over fries). Not the pretties of dishes, the portion size of this dish is more than plenty for one person. I actually thought it was good, the steak was cooked perfectly and so were the mushrooms. But I thought there was just too much gravy and cheese. I just thought it was too much and really could only eat a few bites. My husband enjoyed this dish and finished it. Mediterranean Bowl, $23 prior to tax- This bowl came with brown rice, quinoa, chickpeas, black beans, red onions, black olives, tomato slices, cucumber slices, feta cheese and gyro meat. I had requested for the dressing to be placed on the side and to omit the onions since I was planning on sharing a little bit of my food with my little girl (onions are a no- no for dogs). The bowl was a great portion and I was definitely full. I loved the variety of grains and beans in this dish. The gyro meat was tender and flavorful and the brown rice was cooked perfectly. --------------------------- My friend ended up doing the sneaky thing and paid for our meal (saying that she had to go inside to use the restroom and then paid for the check...) and also tipped big since we had such amazing service. At the time (and still now), I had seen that the overall rating of Jake's On Main was 2.8 stars and was thinking that we would have a poor experience, but we had the complete opposite. I really thought we would be forgotten since we were sitting outside, but that server who sat us was very attentive. She was just so good at anticipating our needs for water, napkins, etc. I didn't even have to ask her, it is as if she read my mind because she would be right there when I had needed something (such as a refill on water, a new fork because I dropped mine by accident, etc). My friend had said that she has been to Jake's On Main a few times with her mom and their dog and have always had such great service and also like the food. So I am glad she picked this place and would definitely recommend this restaurant, especially for those that may be looking to dine outdoors with their dog too.

    Hands down best day time patio in town. Really big menu and everything I've had has been good.

    My family and I love main Street Unionville! The vibe is on point and the setup is so quaint and lovely. It is also the Mecca for people who like to play pokémon go! Although there are many restaurants lining the street, the selection of actual affordable and tasty places is very limited. We always default back to Jake's on main because it has a lot of seating and the menu has a lot of traditional dishes that even the children would enjoy. Service, taste and pricing is very mediocre. But we still go because it is at the center of the hustle and bustle of main Street. Would I recommend people coming? Not wholeheartedly, but it is one of the more favorable places to eat with young children, then the other places that are options along the street.

    The go to spot in Markham Unionville on a nice sunny day for patio season. You can find this spot with long lines whenever it's a sunny day outside in Markham, Ontario. The service is slow and we waited a long time for our food, which I can understand since it was the first warm day of the year for us (they were probably unprepared for this). Most of the wait staff are on the younger side but still serve quite well, so kudos on the training! It's your typical bar food here like burgers, nachos and fries. You really can't go wrong with typical bar food. The highlight for me during this time's visit was definitely the pina colada. It tasted like I was on vacation and I enjoyed every sip of it. Couldn't even taste the alcohol! Food like I said took a long time to come out. I mean, VERY long. Taste wise, the nachos are always great and nice for sharing. Poutine is standard. You really come here for the great vibes and outdoor patio. But the bonus is definitely the tasty drinks ;) I'd probably be back here in the summer again since it's a chill hangout spot with friends that is easily accessible.

    Tuna Mango Bowl
    Cher A.

    Yesterday we stopped by for dinner and there were definitely pros and cons. The Pros: The employees were very friendly and the patios are heated making them very toasty during the colder months. The Cons: If you order the Seafood Fettuccine the shells of the mussels will be broken within your dish and you could cut your mouth, choke on it or cause more internal damage. The Ambiance: I really enjoyed the outside patio and the tables that are not under any of the decks have fire heat lamps that create a really cool ambiance. Inside the restaurant it was dark, chilly and a bit gloomy. I wouldn't recommend dining inside. The Food: We ordered the Seafood Fettuccine and the Tuna Mango Bowl. The Seafood Fettuccine was tasty and it had thick linguini noodles and a creamy tomato sauce. My partner didn't like the random pieces of sharp shell tossed within the dish that made this a hazard to eat. My partner rated the flavour a 3.5/5 for the shell issues. The Tuna Mango bowl was good but had one huge flaw. The mango chunks in my dish were previously frozen making the mango have a mushy texture. The mango was such a turn off in this dish and it took this dish from a high rating to a much lower rating for me. I would say the mango took this dish to 2-stars. The texture was off and they were frozen particles on the outside of my mango. It was pretty disgusting. If the restaurant is reading this, using fresh mango could take this dish to a 4 star rating. The tuna was really good and I really liked the combination of quinoa, rice, black beans, tomato, and onion. Would we return? It's not likely we would return to this location. It's possible if we were just craving a drink we would return but they didn't have many gluten/dairy free options for me and I didn't like the mango tuna bowl at all, meaning I wouldn't have any options I'd really enjoy on the menu.

    Yummy Fish tacos

    Jakes On Main is located in historical area of Unionville Main Street and is one of my fav spot for some amazing pub type of food!! They have a very popular and large patio which continues to open with heated lamp even during cooler weather. Indoor dining is also available. My favorite must order items whenever I go there are their fish tacos, spicy scallop & shrimp tacos and fully loaded nacho. I also love their wings which has some many flavors of sauce to choose from. They offer alcohol and non alcoholic drinks too! Check them out, you won't be disappointed!!

    Pulled pork

    Great patio! Line moves fast, so don't give up! Service was pretty good; there are a lot of servers, so sometimes it's hard to find yours. Prices are pretty reasonable. Parking can be tricky on a nice day!

    Came here at night at around 10:30 ish and it was really busy. No one came to us to take our order until we kept trying to get a waitress. Food was mediocre. But it was a nice place to sit and catch up with friends. The entire time it was a different server serving us than our server. It was also hard getting their attention for the bill. Overall, service was not that great.

    Always a good time here. Food is decently priced for good portion sizes and it's a very fun and relaxing environment to hangout with friends and grab a drink. Have been here many times and will for sure return again!

    Fish Tacos + fries
    Catherine N.

    I was a little bit nervous when my friend suggested this place because other reviews didn't favour the food ... ha I said that, I ordered the fish tacos (had a great flavour by definitely too much batter) + the fries felt like a frozen kind (fresh cut is so much more pub like) However .. my friend had the Reuben and loved it! Service was great and we didn't feel rushed at all (chatting a lot of business, so we did stay a while). I can see why people recommend the patio -- great size almost wish it would have been warm enough to sit out there! I'd visit again for sure based on the service + cleanliness for sure.

    Mozzarella sticks
    Sapna K.

    I tried this place for the first time the other day for lunch, and I thought the spot was okay. The plus points were the patio was quite big, there was no wait to be seated, and the service was friendly. The food however was meh, nothing to really rave about. We started with the mozzarella sticks which were just okay. The presentation was a little weird, with a few little strings of lettuce on the plate. For mains we ordered the buffalo chicken grilled cheese, which was probably the best item we got. Good flavour, but also a little bit on the heavy side as the chicken was breaded. We also ordered the California club which I was disappointed with. From the menu description it sounded like it was going to be a flavourful dish, but it was honestly quite bland, and we were not impressed. This place is fun for the vibe and atmosphere, but in terms of food, I would probably only come back here if I couldn't get seated anywhere else on Main Street.

    Probably not my first choice at unionville due to the food not being the greatest. However, it is a popping spot for outdoor dining if you want to kick back with a group and have some beers. Their steak sandwich is not the best, pretty tough and not what we were expecting. Bland, definitely add some HP sauce or something to help it. $20 for this is not close to worth it. The pulled pork poutine $18 is better - they are very generous with the pulled pork. If you're looking for a good balance, you will be pork heavy, sorry. Food came out quick, service leaves you alone to eat unless you need to wave someone down. Overall, I wouldn't come back for the food. But I would if I wanted to sit out in the patio and bang out a few beers with friends. 2.5 but rounded up for the "social" aspect.

    I like Jake's on Main for the location. It has a large outdoor seating area. Perfect for patio season and people watching on Main Street. It's so casual and a great place to hang out and catch up with friends. I've never been seated inside but I'm sure it's just as great. There is parking at the rear but I usually end up parking at the big lot behind the Real Fruit BBT shop across the street. The service was alright. I've been seated promptly during all my visits here despite never having a reservation. The servers are friendly but aren't too knowledgeable about what goes into the food. At certain restaurants, I tend to stick to the same couple of dishes that I know and love. At Jake's, I always try to order something new because there's so much on the menu. You can choose from pizzas, protein bowls, burgers, tacos, wraps, pastas, poutines, etc. Not really worth going into detail about the food... mostly because there isn't much to say in terms of taste. It's pretty standard and nothing really worth noting. It's not an expensive restaurant; the pricing is pretty standard and you get what you pay for. Most of the items on the menu are in the $15-20 range and comes with a reasonable portion. I come to Jake's for the atmosphere, not the food.
