    Jake n Joe’s is a perfectly fine sports bar. You’ll find a mix of available drafts, bottles, cans, and cocktails. You’ll also find an assortment of American style foods, mostly bar oriented. Some more premium entrees are available. Nothing is bad. Most are good, probably some things that are great. I have been several times and each time things were good without blowing me away. The recent baked haddock with rice and florets was near or at-great. Count on a good time with no particular frills or deals that really grabbed me and made me feel especially wowed. In any case, I’ll likely be back since it’s a good spot to bring some of the boys. Enjoy!

    The food was disgusting. I got the ultimate quesadilla with pulled pork and it was saturated in barbecue sauce which I was not told it would be. After consuming only a two ish pieces of the quesadilla I started to feel sick from the sugary sauce and then after a bit sitting there I went to the bathroom and got sick. My partner's meal was fried in old oil and was a pathetic excuse for fish and chips. Overall, overrated place with garabge food. It was like amusement park food but worse.

    Not crazy about the menu, but the food was good. Nice sports bar. The calamari was good. I also had a nice salad and the steak and cheese rolls.

    Great spot for lunch with co-workers! We took a new hire for lunch here and everyone was happy with their food. Staff was friendly and accommodating as we sat with a party of 5 and two others showed up 5 and 10 minutes later. The food is standard American mix of different things. I had the Korean tacos which were delicious but took their own spin on Korean BBQ style.

    Environment is serviceable. Service is acceptable, for the most part. Unfortunately, the food is mediocre to passable at best. WAY overpriced. Could just buy frozen mozzarella sticks at Star Market for more quantity, better quality, at a fraction of the price. I'm pretty sure I remember their special, premium lemonades not even being made fresh, or authentic. Tasteless, honestly. I believe I had to substitute my drink. I visited this restaurant no more than twice. Never again, unless I'm extremely desperate for quick late night food.

    Great Buffalo Chicken sandwich. Chilled atmosphere with good music at a comfortable volume. Bianca (my waitress) was perfect. I'll be back...

    We really enjoyed the atmosphere at this restaurant and did have great service as well. However, some of the menu items seem to be misrepresented and confusing which resulted in us spending more money for add ons. The adult grilled cheese was labeled "grilled cheese and tomato bisque" and was under the header labeled Sandwiches which stated that all of the items came with a side of fries. So when I ordered I was told I could choose between the tomato bisque or fries which was confusing. The kids meals said they did come with fries as well but then we were told some items did not. We had 2 orders of the noodles and they did not come with the fries as a side so we spent an additional $7 on fries. Other than those confusing menu items I would have rated it higher.

    The place was beautiful inside. We sat outside near the fire 🔥 bar. Nick was our server and he was pretty good. The good “carne /Spanish rice” wasn’t as seasoned as I would have loved it to be but the drink that I did have was pretty awesome.

    Ordered chicken tenders for takeout and got a sad portion of "main entree" without any of the sauces. I was served more tator tots than this in high school. You'd think that the way they markup takeout dishes over dine-in (they don't list prices on the website so they can do this) would leave you satisfied but what they deliver reminded me of dried lunch food without any of the dipping sauce.

    Do not come here for watching any sports other than football. We came here to watch the Formula 1 race, but were told by the manager that they couldn’t put it on a single one of the 15 TVs until one of the 5 football games was over. The same football game was playing on 2 TVs that were on top of each other, but they couldn’t sacrifice one of those TVs. I’d understand it if each TV was playing a unique game, but there was the same game on different TVs right next to each other. Even when one of the games ended, they changed the TV they had identified for us to watch the race to another football game, so we had to wait even longer. We were seated specifically somewhere where they said they could put the race on immediately. If we knew this, we would never have stayed, and we felt deceived. The service was fast and the server was kind. But the rice in 2 of our dishes was undercooked and tasteless. Will not be returning for watching any races, or likely for anything. I guess sports bars are OK only showing one sport!

    Great bar spot with plenty of TVs. Ample parking, in the front and rear of the restaurant. Outside area allows for after visit fun for kids and adults. Food is tasty and service is decent. I’ve been a few times and will be going back.

    Quite honestly I love this place. The clan has rented out the basement of the facility a few full-moon nights here hroughout the years. We've just had a really good time with the amount of privacy that the catacomb provides to the highest paying guest. Jake N Joel's we will be back 🫥

    It is an awesome place! The entire group was excited and heard good things about this sports bar, and they didn't disappoint. You can watch all sporting events on the big screens around you, while enjoying some delicious food and drinks. Thank you

    Service was okay, we waited a very long time for drink (soda) refills. My daughter's mac and cheese was so disappointing. Looked amazing, but little flavor. My fries were cold. The sweet chili wings, pretzel sticks, and chicken sandwich were great! The ribs were just okay.

    Went here on a Tuesday night with my dad, sister, and 2 year old daughter. Our server, Lauren D, was incredible. Very attentive and got us everything we needed in a timely manner every time we asked. Never forgot anything. One of the best servers we have ever had

    Great atmosphere, food, and service! Not as loud as your average sports bar and grille... love that!

  • 4/5 Randy M. 1 year ago on Google
    It's not remarkable but the food was good and the drink selection was okay. Value-wise it's pretty close to what you'd expect to be reasonable in this market, I suppose. It's a place you go to watch a game and eat lunch, and there's nothing much more to it.

    Being a older single gentleman, I tend to eat at a lot of restaurants. Through years of experience, I can't help but notice good service. My server, Alana is the perfect example. Her friendly service & personality made a good meal, taste even better! Jake n Joe's is lucky to have her.

  • 4/5 Vadim R. 1 year ago on Google
    Sports bar is sports bar. Lots of TV with different games ans sport news. I was not expecting anything special and it was ok. I had lunch menu. Onion soup and Philly steak sandwich. Soup was great, love it. Sandwich was less then OK and has nothing to do with Philly steak and cheese. I was expecting to see more variety of IPA beers. They had just a few and not the best ones.

    Starving and on our way to Waltham, we decided to do a quick Google search for some American food and found this gem. It's large, has plenty of seating and TVs for sporting events. The food was fantastic and the wait staff was friendly. The atmosphere was great and the restaurant was super clean. Definitely stop by, you won't regret it.

    Honestly from the second we got there it was disgusting. The table was covered in the previous guests mess. With meat and crud everywhere. Following everything my mom ordered from her meal to her desert came out wrong. She asked for steak tip Cesar salad and it came out a Greek salad then asked for a Belgian waffle with fudge and it came out as fruit. The place is seriously going downhill.

    An awesome place to watch Football and futbol. There are so many TVs in the restaurant and you can see one from almost every single seat. They have a fireplace outside with TVs, too. They have a pretty nicely sized menu! We got nachos and beers during the first half of the Patriots game and then ordered wings to go for the second half. The wings traveled well and tasted great!

    Service was great, drinks were amazing and the food was good. We went on a fight night and the services we were got were wonderful. They were busy, but we didn't have to wait for ever for a new drink. Keep up the good work.
