"Continuing our everlong love of all things breakfast, we headed to Jake's to satisfy a hankering desire for pancakes. Here's what we saw: From the outside the restaurant looks good with a dog friendly patio and decent parking around the side of the building. The inside is clean and well maintained with a few TVs to catch games. We sat outside since we had our dog with us and our server was fantastic. He had a lot of jokes, knew when to give us space, and was just incredibly attentive all around. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ran out. The food was very mediocre, granted they just started serving breakfast recently so they're probably trying to work the kinks out. We ordered the pancake breakfast with breakfast potatoes, bacon, and Texas toast as well as the chillaquiles with beef fajita. The pancakes were very thin and chewy, definitely not a high quality batter and not moist. The bacon likewise was chewy and the toast was, well, toast. The best part of the dish were the breakfast potatoes which had a good texture and flavor to them. As for the chillaquiles, it was decent. A bit of a messy plate but nothing that took away from the meal. The beans, tortilla chips, etc were good but the best part was the beef fajita, seasoned well and pretty juicy. Again, it's hard to write this place off as a 3 star because we think they're a work in progress on the breakfast side and likely have better food on other parts of the menu, we can just only write about our experience. Service was phenomenal, that cannot be understated. Likely a place we will try again if ever back in SPI and hopefully we can rate higher next time!"

"I liked the live music. Service was ok. Onion rings and burger were good. The rest of the food was bland. The indoor vibe was a little strange idk if it's cause the place looks old or what but I wouldn't recommend it"

- Jannette V.

"Went for lunch and wasn't too busy. The food was the best we had on the island, and the drink was mixed strong. The waiter was very helpful. Able to order food that was safe for a person with tree nut and peanut allergies. Would definitely recommend and would go back next time we're on SPI."

- K K.

"Jessica, you magnificent beast, you are a delight as is Jake's. Really good food, yummy drinks, and a WONDERFUL team of folks. Highly, highly recommend a visit during your trip to SPI. Great pricing and delicious food. Kids menu is solid, for those looking for family dining. By the way, their tequila floats - definitely order the house margaritas. 10/5, would Jakes again."
