Jake’s On The Lake

Very friendly staff. Walking distance from our house. Prices are a bit high for family dining, but the food is excellent and the menu is vast!

Went for breakfast on a Sunday Morning Everything was great. Had the pancakes, the standard breakfast with eggs a choice of meat, hash browns and toast.
Best part was the Biscuits & Gravy. That will bring me back.
Only reason it’s a 4 and not a 5. Staff seemed a bit on end. Not very personable, they weren’t that busy that people were running around with their heads cut off, but seriously a little conversation goes a long way.

Was in the area for work and wanted to cruise along the lake and stopped into Jakes.
Glad I did. I didn’t even try to look past their «House Specialty» Lake Erie Perch sandwich. It was probably the best I’ve had. Absolutely amazing with the slaw and tartar sauce. Will for sure be back to try again!

The BEST burgers! Fresh, hand cut fries are delicious. Just like the old-​fashioned Cedar Point fries. Awesome Spring Salad with grilled chicken. Love the chicken Caesar wrap or buffalo chicken wrap. The BEST fresh Lake Erie perch around. Great for families or to stop by for a few drinks. Also, our family goes for breakfast often. Great breakfast menu. If in Avon Lake, this is a «must visit» place. Highly recommend. 5 star for quaint pub-​style dining. Great service too.

Always love the perch! My husband LOVED the calamari. Peiroges were excellent.
Not a huge fan of the chips.
Waitress was nice.
This is our second time and we will continue to return

we went there the other day for lunch I had the patty melt and they had wings my burger was great he said his wings were ok

The burgers are excellent and cooked to order — there are plenty of options for toppings too. I wasn’t a big fan of the fries, but the kettle chips are very good. It wasn’t too loud even though there were a couple large parties there at the same time we were. A great place to grab a burger — we will be back.

I went with my wife for breakfast for the first time. It was just okay. Reminded me of an old person restaurant. The food was just average. There are better places for breakfast so I don’t plan to likely come back anytime soon.

We recently moved back to the area and have been looking for some good local joints for us to become regulars. I can say, without a doubt, that we’ve found our place at Jake’s. We’ve only been there on two occasions, but we will be going back many more times. Let me describe both that were wonderful.
Visit One: Brunch after church. I had the Corned Beef Hash, which is made there. It was delicious, and I enjoyed every bite. The amazing part, however, was that my wife actually loved the sausage gravy. She’s quite a gravy snob, and this was literally the first place I’ve been to with her where she actually approved of the sausage gravy that was not the place she grew up going to. This alone is proof this place is awesome.
Visit Two: Lent Fish Friday. My wife had the perch. Loved it. I had the Walleye Milanese. Holy cow, I will dream about that fish! Highly recommended.
Overall we love this place. You may, too. If you’re on the fence, give it a try; maybe you’ll be lucky and love it like we do.

Great place. The atmosphere is great. Not only do they have great lunch and dinner menu, they also have breakfast!

The veggie burger was meh. I used the top bun to soak up the grease from the fries which were soggy and limp. Will not be back.

The only bad thing about Jakes is that it’s in Ohio and I’m in Maryland. I was visiting family when I ran across this gem of a place. Years ago it was Herbs Tavern on the lake, glad Jake has it now as it’s absolutely delicious!
I had the Chicken Paprikash. really, really GOOD! I started with a garden salad, completely fresh with crisp lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, shredded cheese and croutons. Loved the Thousand Island dressing. Definitely not using bagged salad here, I was in salad heaven! My 3 and half yr old daughter had the grilled cheese and fresh cut fries. Holy smokes, I could hardly keep my hands off her plate. She ate about half, which is saying something because usually it will only be a few bites. My boyfriend had a sausage and peppers sandwich… devoured it along with the awesome fries. The best part was the chocolate cake, my mouth is watering just thinking about it. I can’t remember the exact name, it had a chocolate ganache in between layers of chocolate cake. It literally was the best cake I have ever tasted.
I CANT WAIT TO COME BACK IN THE FALL!!!

My husband and I finally stopped at Jakes for the first time to get brunch. Blown away. The eggs Benedict was amaaaaazing. The Baja –hollandaise like– sauce was the perfect finishing touch. Hash browns were awesome and I usually don’t eat hash browns. The waitress was really really nice and the atmosphere was cozy and I loved all the windows! Obviously it would be amazing if they were on the lake but whatever I’m over it. Can’t wait to go back!

We love jakes for breakfast! They have the most AMAZING eggs Benedict, a must eat, I promise you won’t be sorry! They always have interesting seasonal specials as well.
Jakes is great for dinner too if you are looking for bar food with a twist. They have a full bar and even some micro brews. The service is always quick without feeling rushed. They also have a nice fish fry Fridays during lent.

Local small get hearing place. Friendly staff. Food on the bland side, had the chicken paprikash. Seems the clientele may be older so maybe hence the conservative spice factor. Great area for potential.

Jakes is nice quint little restaurant near but not on the lake. The nice house setting is unique and different from your average restaurant/​bar. Try to get there early during the dinner rush because it is a bit small inside. Lake Erie perch is probably the best dish there. Lots of genuine Cleveland dishes like porgies here. They often have special including the buffalo chicken pasta which wasn’t really impressive. It was pretty much noodles in spicy buffalo sauce and that’s it. The garlic beard it came with however was to die for. Good selection of beer and beverages at a decent price

Our favorite spot in Avon Lake by far. The meatloaf on special Tuesdays is exceptional. Always good beer options on tap– pumpkin ales in the fall, Christmas ales in winter. The buffalo chicken pasta as well as the fried brussel sprouts are to die for. Fast, friendly and inviting service. Owner is here and attentive. Five stars all the way.

I ate brunch here. I had a long black hair in my eggs… i was never offered a replacement… no I’m sorry. the server never checked back. I paid my bill and left hungry. Horrible service !

Nice neighbor bar and grill. Good burgers and specials. I had the seafood pasta (very tasty). Drink specials. Great location.
Can’t go wrong with this place for casual dining.

Classic American restaurant with bar food. My staff team comes here for lunch during our meetings. They offer some great standards (chicken caesar wrap, reubens, lake erie perch fry) and sometimes some Polish foods (chicken paprikash). I’ve had the pierogies (really good), spring salad with chicken (greens, candied pecans, raspberries, strawberries, apples), chicken caesar wrap and the Lake Erie Perch. All pretty decent. Definitely a go-​to place for our team, nothing too out of the ordinary or spectacular.
Service is a little slow – we usually have about 6 or 7 people going though. Lots of tvs with sports channels.
Nice local establishment in the burbs!
