I'm so bummed. First time I came here it was the best quality, because the owner was working. The…read morepizza was perfect, and we couldn't wait to come back. The second time we came here, the owner wasn't in and the girl working had a major attitude because we asked for napkins. The pizza was super greasy and the crust wasn't cut so we had to use a knife. Sigh. I guess go in when the owner is there for the best pizza otherwise lower your expectations, a lot! Pictures are same pizza from first visit and second visit. Will try again but would call first to make sure the owner is on premises.

Mixed feelings for this place. I have celiacs disease so it's a safe and good option. Recently i've…read morebeen running into problems when the younger people are working. They will disable online orders while they're open and say they will be back at whatever time, go back to check and they move it again to a later time and also won't pick up the phone. They answered one time and told me to hang on, and then hung up. I finally got my order. I ordered chicken ranch pizza, no bacon or onions. there were onions. also, i couldn't eat dinner last night and had to waste $30 because the black stuff all on the bottom was so strong and gross!! ... i eat here pretty regularly and this is happening every so often.. very upsetting. please better train your employees. there's a really nice lady with brunette hair who i assume is the owner? i'm not sure. The only time my food is good from here is if she's working.

All of these reviews were from Cranky Hank's. They do not apply to Happy Jake's. Yelp should let…read morereaders know about this. This place is in no way in the same league as Cranky Hank's. They claimed they were going to keep everything the same when they bought the well-regarded establishment. They have not. Quality of food is not as good. Overcharged on many orders with no resolution and/or apology. Selection and quality of other inventory in store is dramatically decreased. Not a very honest business.

Certainly, there is no shortage of dining options in a fairly concentrated area heading up and down N Whittaker St. But the place you really need to visit is a bit north from there on W Buffalo St. Villa Nova is an unpretentious establishment that makes you feel at home. Don't go if you are in a rush, as you will want to hang around and soak in the environment. Also, the food is made with care, not with haste. You have to try the simple-ingredient derived marinara sauce topped with a large dollop of goat cheese and served with toasted crusty baguette slices. You can also partake of this marinara ambrosia on a pizza. The crust is probably the best I have had. And I have had them all. We had sausage on one of our pizzas, and it is deliciously kissed with fennel seed, and they are not stingy on the portions. We also had margherita pizza which was divine. Even the Caesar salads my wife and I had were tossed with the exact right amount of dressing. So, make your way here a little off the 'touristy' path. If you are really lucky, you will have Emma as your server. She was attentive, informative, and extremely pleasant. She recommended many of the dishes we ended up ordering and they all exceeded expectations. She made our entire experience delightful!

They offer 2 kinds of beer, Pabst blue ribbon and 1 other, I don't know anyone who drinks either of the beers offered. Inside of the place is small and dark, I did not get the great nostalgic look they proclaim. We ate outside after going in and not feeling it. It was nice being outside. The wait staff was sub par at best. There is a public parking lot across the street. I really don't reccomend coming here. Each to their own, but if you want good food this is not the place. Go to Antonio's Pizza on Goshen Rd in Elkhart for good pizza.

This was one of the worst restaurant experiences I have ever had. Walked in and weren't greeted…read more You're supposed to seat yourself, so no big deal. We find a table and sit. Waitress comes over to take our drink and appetizer order. Drops off drinks and apps, and it's time to order. She now tells us they're sold out of some of the menu items. Again, no big deal, we can pivot. Orders are in, app comes out, and waitress doesn't come back for over 40 mins. No checking in to see if we need more drinks (we did). No checking in to let us know how much longer on our food. Eventually, I got up and had to ask her how much longer on the food. She said upwards of 25 mins. We paid for the drinks and appetizer and left. This was undoubtedly, some of the worst customer service I've ever received.

Always a favorite spot and a sure thing for a good quality meal…read more Not sure if they have a new cook, if they're cheapening their ingredients or if their supplier is cheapening things. Meal was good but we're accustomed to greatness from this restaurant. New Orleans cavatappi pasta has always pushed the limits on spicy but today it fell short. Le sigh Generous portion of walleye as usual but the sauce just came up flat. Added table salt which helps but adds a layer of unrefined flavor teasing the mind and leaving us to wonder why do we have to salt our food today? Sweet potato comes with cinnamon brown sugar butter didn't let the server tell you it's just brown sugar butter. Featured soup was Hungarian mushroom. Not sure what makes it Hungarian and the server didn't know either. ‍ We liked our meal but we didn't LOVE it like we usually do. Perhaps it was just an off day. We'll try again. Please don't let this restaurant slide down past return. It's one of the few we know we can get a high quality meal out of.
