Dec 31, 2010 7:30 pm Plymouth location – Thinking Jake’s to be a decent place for a nice meal on New Year’s Eve we arrived about 7:30 to a sparsely occupied restaurant, shown to our booth quickly and there we sat. It took an inordinate length of time before a waiter arrived. We should have been forewarned of what was to come when the gentleman at the next table was served a cup of sauce instead of a cup of clam chowder. My husband inquired about the shrimp in the Bourbon Shrimp and was assured they were large, I ordered a steak which had a couple options on the menu of which the waiter was clearly not familiar. We ordered an appetizer which was good and salads as well. Our entrees arrived without ever serving the salads. The Bourbon Shrimp was a huge pile of garlic mashed potatoes with maybe 8 medium, clearly NOT large shrimp. My steak was decent but the hair in my garlic mashed potatoes was disgusting. Management served my replacement potatoes without an offer of a complimentary service of anything. Our waiter clearly wanted his interface with us done and didn’t bring out the dessert platter that he had shown all the diners around us. Definitely overpriced, poor service, lack of quality control & oversight in the kitchen and imprudent management on staff. Needless to say we will never set foot in a Jake’s City Grille again and we will spread the word.

I went there three times with in two years, last time was strike three. Very long wait for the food. After twenty five minutes I asked the server, how are we doing on the food? He said, not much longer, we sat a pary of twenty five in front of you. (I was very hungry, I wish he told me that before we sat down. I would have not been upset and came back another time!) The food is ok

We ate dinner at Jake’s Plymouth last night, 5/29/10 and would never eat there again. The atmosphere was so so. The place was not busy at all. We thought a perfect time for a good meal. Not so. I had the rib dinner, it was way overcooked, the ends were like shoe leather and there was no flavor at all. The sauce for the ribs was way too spicy and sugary. My wife had a beef dinner and said the same thing, dry and tasteless. We both thought our dinner tasted strange, and the worst part was I was up all night very sick from the dinner and the after taste was terrible.
Needless to say we will not eat at Jake’s again and will be telling our friends of our horrible experience.
The server LLoyd was good and that’s the only good part of our experience.

We’ll be eating at Ruby Tuesday’s from now on for ribs.

On the mother’s day, today, the host is horrible, We reserved there and we arrived there for our mother’s day breaksfast. We waited for more than an hour and the host has been neglected repeative when the tables are completely available that make us waited for nothing. Then, the host brought us to the table and it forced two of us out of different table that designed for 9 people but 7 then we had to sit in the booth. We were not happy with their buffet that overcharge for 20 buck that i only ate half of the plate!!! Their foods horrible and COLD! WE spent about 50 dollars on that resturant. AVOID THEM on holidays or everyday. They are not worth of your waiting. Also the waitress is also lousy, she didn’t even bring the menu when I do not want to eat buffet. She even not asked me how it is. We left her less a dollar tip because that is not how waitress should have done. All of us will not go there ever again. 9 of us expected the best from them but apparently what a lousy resturant I ever been in! It is not designed to be pleasant for MOTHER”S DAY!

I go there twice a week for the happy hour. They have by far the best apps around! Try the Jake Wings, Panko Chicken, Pot Stickers, or the Pulled Pork Casidillas, you wont be sorry!

I’ve been to the Jake’s in Eagan a lot of times, and the one in Maplewood just once. I’ve never had anything I didn’t like. Definately not bland food. My co-workers and anyone else I have brought there also love the food. I really prefer the Jake’s in Eagan becuase the outdoor patio is fantastic in our nicer weather seasons. Some of my favorites are the Bruchetta, Lobster Tacos, Chicken Ranch Wrap, and Shrimp & Sausage chowder, but I have many more…
They have fun “girly” drinks, but I don’t think of them when I think of a serious martini or fantastic bloody mary. The atmosphere is up to date and fun. TV’s in the bar so you can watch the game. I used to be a restaurant manager, so I am really picky about service. I can say that I have never been really disappointed at Jake’s, but it can be a little slow sometimes. Overall, pretty darn good for that price range, in my opinion.
