    Happy Hour Cheeseburger and fries
    Laura M.

    Fast, friendly service in the bar for Happy Hour. Brief but adequate menu. We both had the Cheeseburger and fries and 2 beers: $60 before tip. Burger was a bit dry but the flavor came through without the extra Condiment. Adding a bit of ketchup leftover from the fries added enough moisture. Crisp leaf lettuce, sliced white onions, and tomato added to the mile high burger. Will be back to order the sliders and Caesar salad. Enjoy!

    I usually go to Jak's for brunch with my friends, but it had been a minute since I'd been there especially for dinner (honestly, years!). We went to celebrate my friend's birthday, and overall it was a great experience. They were packed, but our food still came out fast, which we really appreciated. The service was friendly, though it was a bit hard to get our waitress's attention at times totally understandable though, she was clearly hustling and the place was super busy. The food was good, and the desserts were definitely the highlight. We all left happy. Jak's is still a solid spot whether you're there for brunch or finally making it back for dinner!

    THE JAK'S BENE
    Jennifer S.

    Jak's is a cozy spot and the service is always great. Everyone is so nice. The food has always been excellent, in my opinion. I had The Jak's Bene for the first time and it was incredible! Try the whole menu! I haven't but I have yet to be disappointed.

    Had a wonderful dinner at Jak's Grill! From the moment we walked in, the hosts were so welcoming and the servers were incredibly sweet and attentive. The food came out surprisingly fast, and my steak was cooked to a perfect medium-rare, exactly how I ordered it. The atmosphere is great, and I was impressed by how clean the restrooms were. Plus, parking is very convenient. Considering the quality and service, the prices are very reasonable. Definitely a 5-star experience

    Steak dinner nowadays
    Jesena M.

    Oh boy! I mean I originally wasn't a fan going with larger groups, but it became a wonderful spot for dinners with my hubby. The steaks were big, the plate was full, you got a salad, bread, veggies, all around just fantastic. I know restaurants have to tighten their belt, but we were just there a couple of months ago and going from full meal deal as always to a super sad plate of pre-cut steak and a handful of fries... this is no longer the Jaks we love. Did ownership change? What happened? I'm sad to say, unless they let me cut my steak again, get at least a handful of veggies on the plate and make food look appetizing again... not sure why I can't go to Applebee's and get a nicer looking plate for less. You are a steak house, there are expectations and the new menu failed.

    Prime Rib Dip
    Mark Maureen C.

    Arrived a little before 5pm on our way over the mountain ready for an early dinner. We were asked if we had a reservation, which we did not, but were seated quickly. We ordered the Prime Rib Dip and the Spinach Salad with Grilled Chicken. Both were delicious and served promptly. The waitress was friendly, efficient and did a great job keeping our drinks full. The restaurant has a friendly pub feel and we really enjoyed it!

    Scrambled eggs

    After a great steak dinner at the West Seattle location, I had to try the Issaquah Jak's for brunch, and it did not disappoint. This place is the definition of a hearty, classic American breakfast. We ordered the Signature Prime Burger, Country Fried Steak, and Jak's Scramble. * Prime Burger: It's massive and incredibly juicy. You can choose between fries or a salad, but either way, it's a satisfying meal. * Jak's Scramble: Very filling and packed with flavor. * Country Fried Steak (My Personal Favorite!): Yes, it's a total calorie bomb, but worth every bite. The steak is perfectly fried, smothered in rich sausage gravy, and served with roasted potatoes and two eggs. Pro Tip for the Biscuits: Their biscuits are light, buttery, and delicious. Make sure to ask for honey! Spreading butter and drizzling honey on those biscuits is a game-changer. It's that perfect mix of crunchy, savory, and "guilty pleasure" goodness. Normally, I'd go for their "Mammosa" (the giant version of a Mimosa--great value for the price!), but I'm taking a break from alcohol lately. If you're looking for a drink, that's the one to get! The vibe is like a cozy, high-end neighborhood gem. Service is always friendly, though it can be a little relaxed (slow) at times, but that's part of the weekend brunch charm. There's a reason this place has been a local favorite for so long. If you want a real American brunch, this is the spot!

    Beef Wellington
    Don B.

    Had to come here for a second year of having the Beef Wellington. If you enjoy this dish, I would recommend giving Jak's a try. The beef medallion was good sized and cooked to a perfect medium rare with a nice flakey puff pastry shell and savory beef gravy. Came with asparagus and I chose the baked potato. Place was very busy for the holidays but we were seated quickly due to reservations. Ended up with a good booth in the back which helped with the noise. Server was friendly but a little hard to understand because of a language barrier and also lingered a little long at tables which made the service longer than normal. This was a one off experience, since other times service has been great. Overall great holiday dinner!

    Southern steak hash
    Janet L.

    I'm so glad that I got to support a mom and pop business. I walked in at 10am and the dining area was still very spacious. By the time I left at 11am, the restaurant was already packed! The steak was so tender and juicy in my hash skillet and the fresh toasts my husband had was also perfecto!

    Dark chocolate marmalade bread pudding
    Anita B.

    JaK's restaurant is one of our favorite restaurants. As usual we all had another wonderful meal. Our 3 steaks were juicy and cooked perfectly. The seasonal choices on the menu providing tasty new options to try. The appetizer of burrata and grilled stone fruit was presented beautifully and was a tasty mix of flavors. My husband always orders the bread pudding for dessert their featured bread pudding was dark chocolate marmalade. It was delicious! both flavors worked really well together. Our server was wonderful, friendly, knowledgeable and never made us feel rushed. She even shared the secret side dish with us - the UFO, we were all stunned that we never knew this. It's garlic mash potatoes topped with a potato pancake. The best of both worlds! We were beyond thrilled! Thank you JaK's for another great meal.

    We use to go to Jak's Grill once every other month but have since moved so haven't been in a while. We were in the area and decided to go for brunch. It's nice that they let you make reservations now as I remember waiting as first come first serve before. Food was delicious as always! I was sad in the beginning to see they changed their potatoes but these ones are good too. The biscuit was also very fresh and seemed like they were made in house. Overall, great brunch spot if you're in the area!

    Date night with my hubby!!

    Yous who follow my reviews know, that as a chef, I'm a tough one to get four or five stars from, but this was an easy four stars! It is a higher end restaurant, more towards fine dining, so you won't go here to get Taco Bell prices. That being said, it's an amazing date night or night out with friends location. They have a full bar and wine by the cup or bottle (if that's ur thing), and the servers seem to be well versed in pairings. The food was excellent, I took a bite of the steak and told my hubby it "made my soul happy"!!! I would definitely go back there for a steak dinner! When you consider what it costs to buy a good, clean, steak and the time you have to take to prepare it and all the trimmings! This was well worth the price! My hubby had the fried chicken sandwich with a house salad. It was a lovely meal and quite well priced. Lovely sourdough bread came with our salads! We were both nearly full by the time our meals came! That's ok, because we both have leftovers to take home for tomorrow! Vanessa was a great server and quite pleasant! She had a beautiful smile, and was helpful in every way. We both look forward to going to Jak's Grill again, and hopefully having Vanessa as our server! The only two things that kept them from having five stars was that it was freezing inside. To be fair we were one of the first few couples to arrive once they opened, so I'm sure once it's filled with people it probably gets a bit warmer. However, for us, we were trying to hurry to finish because we were cold. Also, the booths and chairs are hardwood with no cushions, so I suggest, if you are like me and have tailbone issues, that you take a seat cushion with you for while you are at Jak's!

Unfortunately, that was not the case last night. :( Service was great and really like decor of the place. It was pretty busy so it got pretty loud in the restaurant, but I can roll with that.

We chose the bar patio, which was cozy, fully covered, and set up with a handful of small high-top tables, making it a really comfortable spot to relax. The drink menu could use a little more detail, since none of the draft options were listed. When we asked about cider, our server checked and let us know they had a cherry pomegranate cider on tap. For beer, the options were simply described as an IPA and a lager, so we went with the lager. It was good, though we never found out which brewery it was from. We also ordered a mule, which was well made. For happy hour, we shared the half charcuterie board ($12), and it was beautifully presented with a great variety. We were impressed enough to stay for dinner afterward. We ordered the burger and the Greek salad with chicken after learning they were out of prawns. Our server also thoughtfully mentioned they were out of Kalamata olives in case that changed my order, which I appreciated. Both entrees were delicious. The burger stood out thanks to the homemade ketchup, which was especially good. The Greek salad was fresh and flavorful, though a bit light on portion size. Service throughout the evening was friendly and attentive, and by around 7 p.m. on a Friday, the restaurant had become quite busy. Overall, a really enjoyable experience with great patio ambiance, solid food, and warm service.
