Jakes Uptown

Great atmosphere for a sports bar. The burger was average, a little dry but thankfully the condiments and bleu cheese added enough juice to make up for the dry patties.
A must try is the cheddar fries! If you love cheese and fries, this is your dish. It comes with a side of ranch but frankly it doesn’t need it. Grease and cheese and perfectly seasoned fries equal a sinful side! I’m thinking next time all I’ll get are the fries, and never mention it to my cardiologist!
Ok burger, awesome fries! Worth going again.

My husband and I went there with my son before he left back to Ft. Hood. It would’ve been our first time. The a/​c wasn’t on and when I asked the waitress/​hostess why it was hot, she said «Well, I really couldn’t tell you.» Then as she started to show us to our seats, she stopped midway to help seated customers who had already eaten, just to grab their money and help them, which left us standing for a while. She was rude and didn’t smile once. I’m sorry miss waitress if you’re having a bad, busy day, but don’t take it out on your customers. We left and went to The Brick House which had awesome service and was delicious. I won’t be going back to Jake’s.

We went here today after a long day of shopping and this was the perfect meal to fix our burger craving. I got hamburger with hickory sauce, fries, and a Lakewood Temptress beer. It was amazing. The service was stellar.

The burgers were really good however the drinks r SUPER OVER PRICED. It was almost 6.00 for an 18oz beer. Considering the competition they are centered around they should really reconsider they’re alcohol prices, they may have more than a couple of people in there. 6.50 for a very small margarita. My advice get ur food to go and drink at home.

Just ate there charged full price for asking for a half size burger not told about. Soda was flat shakes were melted soft serve. Waitress was not very attentive either. Not impressed… Quite sad as Dallas ones great was waste and left 35.00 less and feeling not valued as a customer.

I don’t know why this place has bad reviews. My husband loves it here. I’m not as big of a fan but that’s because I just generally am not a big burger fan. The menu is basically burgers, fries and hotdogs. They have a decent selection of beer but it is pretty pricy. I’ve had breakfast here once and wish they would serve it all day. It’s not the greatest place ever, but certainly not the worst. We don’t go to hang out, although with the bar and tvs you could.

Wow. Thank you to Kimber (the waitress) for giving us the WORST dining experience I have had in awhile. From the time we sat down, it took eight minutes for someone to greet us. There were only four other tables besides us and three waitresses even stopped and looked at our table, then walked away. When one waitress (Kimber) finally stopped to help us, she literally puts the menus on our table and says «here» and walks away. After that, Kimber comes back and says, «Are you ordering?». She never refilled our drinks and she never asked how our food was. Then we realized that three of the waitresses (Kimber included) were just hanging out in a back corner booth and the lady who appeared to be the manager didn’t seem to care, as she was standing near there. Oh, sorry to inconvenience you at your job by dining at your establishment. Oh and you know what? IT GETS WORSE!!! Right there on the wall, behind my boyfriend’s head, was a COCKROACH!!! A ROACH!!! We had to KILL the roach ourselves, because we couldn’t find our waitress. That definitely ruined our appetites and we left before finishing our meal.

Manager and waitstaff are not impressive. I lost my appetite just talking to any one of them. The atmosphere is nice but the place is rather small.

Been here several times for both breakfast and dinner, breakfast was surprisingly good, but their lunch and dinner is where they really shine both times I have had their burgers and they are tasty and huge.

Burgers are fine, but the portions are incredibly small! Came in on a Sunday afternoon and it was pretty sparse and for good reason!
My beau and I shared a burger and tots. I’m small and I couldn’t believe how small the portions were; 20 tots???
Save your appetite and money for Flips around the corner. Better burgers, beer deals, and much more food!!!

Great burgers for sure I love there cheddar fries. awesome people and polite. I would recommend for anyone to go visit this place

This place is good. Great atmosphere good vibes. TVs everywhere. A open bar with plenty on tap. Burgers are good but not $ 9 good. That and the fries don’t come with it? I’ve had a better burger at Denny’s that has fries included. Love greasy burgers and this place has it. Overall the food is okay not great but okay. I may come back if I’m craving a greasy burger.

Worst burger but good fries. It’s like a vending machine frozen and microwaved. The place is nice because they didn’t change anything from the Mexican place that was there before it. Which causes you to be deceived your going to get a good burger. Pass! There are plenty of places that serve a lot better burger… Even in and out is better. This is just nasty. Try smash burger, five guys, Kincaid, or wood rock… Any will be a LOT better than this crap. Yuck!

Just bought a house down the street from this place, doing some painting and needed beer. So we randomly tried this sports bar (first establishment we drove by that looked like it might have taps) and were pleasantly surprised.
Service was a little slow but the beer selection exceeded my expectations. I took a recommendation on a dark beer and didn’t like it. They were really great about bringing another without charging me for the first one. I ordered the Bacon Bleu burger and it was exceptionally juicy and delicious. I will definitely come back for it. My date ordered a Caesar salad which was passable, but forgivable as Sprite bars are not necessarily known for great salads.
Lots of TVs with all the sports you expect from a sportsy burger joint. Next time I want beer and beef close by I’ll come back to Jakes.

Here right now, service isn’t good. I didn’t want lettuce & tomatoes, no problem. Order my son’s kid burger and asked for lettuce & tomato, nope can’t do it! We would have to order an adult burger. Well okay give me back my lettuce & tomato, I’ll put it on his burger! Really this is what we had to go through! Then they messed up the kid burger by adding cheese, which we didn’t order! Warm beer glasses, poor service. Too bad because the food was good.

Been here a few times. Service seems to get worse with each visit. The food is usually decent but not on last visit. The staff seem disorganized most of the time. I have visited a few other locations and this one needs some work.

What this place needs is a more experienced waitstaff. I’ve been here 3 times, and I always have the same experience: a nice, clearly inexperienced, pretty female in short shorts and a black tank top… good food, although a tad bit overpriced.
Today, I paid $ 30 for 2 burgers, 2 sweet potato fries, and one shake. The food has been consistently good… no problem there. I love their sweet potato fries, and the bacon they use is pretty tasty too.
Between their prices and their waitstaff though… something needs to give.

Giving this place 3 stars for the way it looks. Clean, cool bar, and easy to get around. The food was mediocre, had the Jakes special with fries and the Hot Dawg. The burger didn’t have the best quality meat but the fries were delicious. The hot dog was very salty and it just was too plain; effortless. Food came out quickly and the staff was knowledgable of their items. We left with a cookies and cream shake and that was satisfying. I would return to try their breakfast and also for happy hour/​drink. Not return for a burger craving… Sad because that’s their speciality.

Going to give you a review from a fat guy’s point of view. Tables are decently spaced apart so you aren’t sitting on top of the other diners near you. A big plus if your a bigger person. The chairs are very heavily padded, making them very comfortable to sit on.
Staff was very friendly & attractive. Our waitress was extremely nice and adorable! She was right on top of our drinks and getting our food out to us. She also had great recommendations for what to order.
We ordered the cheese fries appetizer with the extras. The extras (jalapeños, green onions, chili & ranch dressing) all come on the side, which is great so you can decide how much you want on your fries. The chili cheese fries were delicious. My wife and I both enjoyed them.
For our meals, we ordered «The Hot Cowboy» for me & «The Mushroom Swiss» for my wife. The cowboy was a bit spicy, enough to give it flavor but not so much that it overpowered your ability to taste. I enjoyed it thoroughly. My wife enjoyed the mushroom swiss. She added a little ketchup to hers. She enjoyed it. I tasted hers, it was good but mine was better!
I got the jumpin jake fries, my wife got the regular fries. I personally didn’t taste a difference. Both were good. We didn’t get dessert. We were both full when we left.
Overall I’d say it’s great place to grab a burger and a drink. Very casual, decent music and friendly staff.
It’s not the best food I’ve ever eaten but its certainly good enough and close enough that i will definitly return. They also serve breakfast which I look forward to trying.
As to the attire that another poster commented about. I would dare say it’s grossly exaggerated. They are not remotely dressed as provacativly as most «breasterants».

I don’t know why this place gets bad reviews. About 10 of us met up here on a Friday night and we received great service and great food.
There’s a whole hodge-​podge of burgers, dogs, and the like. Not one complaint from anywhere in our group and all the food was gone!
The only thing that I didn’t care for was their location and that’s because of all the construction, and that’s not their fault.
I will say that you MUST try the sweet potato fries with marshmallow cream sauce for dipping. This can easily be a dessert and it’s warm, sweet, and gooey goodness! Seriously, that alone will make me go back!
Definitely worth a try!
