Jake’s On Broadway

CLOSED DOWN. Wow… did this place even last two years since it GIGi’s Café??? Supposedly, it will be RONALDO’s soon… From the people who left VENICE (Pizzeria) CATERING. KUGOS on Venice’s charity work on Thanksgiving… Hopefully they will continue the tradition.

Had breakfast here this morning. Service was decent, but out meals took 20 mins to come out and there was no one else there. Food was ok, not great. The waffles were very soft and not crispy. The bacon was blah… had pork skank taste to it. Eggs and potatoes were well. If they have AC, it was not working well as it was sweaty in the early morning. Prices are a bit high. $ 18.00 for two waffle meal, 2 eggs/​bacon/​scrapple and nothing else.

I’ve been here several times — for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The food is good, however don’t come here if you’re in a hurry. The service is slow.

I just went to Jake’s with a group of friends. Our meals were prepared promptly, our server was on top of our drinks and very friendly, and we absolutely loved their onion rings! We had a solid breakfast without breaking the bank. I will definitely be back.

My husband and I have passed by Jake’s many times, yet we only visited for the first time last weekend. We’d heard only great things about it and honestly, we should have gotten there sooner! What a great restaurant.
It’s a bit «sleepy» but we were in no rush so that worked well. The restaurant is small, maybe 12 – 15 tables at most, but very cute and had a family vibe (we actually knew another family in the restaurant so that might be why).
My husband got the sausage and mushroom soup and sausage and peppers sandwich while I got the eggplant parmesan sandwich. Everything is made fresh, which is very evident! And it also speaks for the bit of the wait on the food… which I will take any day.
The staff was friendly and pleasant to chat with. We’ll be returning!

I have to admit I have only gone to Jake’s for breakfast, but I’ve gone several times and have never had a bad meal. The service is excellent — attentive and friendly. I’ve gotten the Chicken and Waffles (amazingly good) the chicken especially was thin slices, seasoned and crunchy — addictive! My date got the omelette which he raved about. Another visit he got the French toast (which I stole a bite of) it was thick and very rich. Don’t let the simplistic décor fool you.

Great service and the food is better. Have only been here for breakfast and lunch. Never have been disappointed.

This place is pretty good. I came to Gigi’s a couple times back in the day for lunch, Jake’s seems very similar to what used to be here.
I came for lunch (my companion was a little disappointed that they were no longer serving breakfast). I had a pear salad that had a nice mix of ingredients, was well made, and had a tasty dressing on it. The was a little too much dressing for my taste, but I tend to like less dressing than most, I should have remembered to ask for less.
Service is friendly and casual, they accept credit cards. Service can be a little slow, but appropriately for this sleepy little café. I would definitely return.

Friendly greeting upon arrival, and same to everyone who came in. Service was very attentive, remembering to ask how each course was before we were done eating it. And all was very good. Salads were fresh, crispy and cold. The main course, the house special of the night-​a tower of vegetables over pasta and very large shrimp was hot, tasty and perfectly cook. my fruit demari, was a combination of clams, mussels, very large shrimp and crabmeat over penne pasta was superb! There were so many shells that the shell bowl was overfilled. We used to visit Jake’s when they were on the «bypass» and am glad to have them still in the area. The seating holds 30. It is a little old looking but we went for the food and were not disappointed. Will update when we return in the next month or so.

Good food. service is always prompt. They should make it a little nicer inside at night time to make it more inviting for dinne.

My daughter and I recently had dinner at Jake’s. The food and service were outstanding. The food was obviously fresh and well prepared. My daughter had the Chicken St. Michaels. I had the Chicken Magdalena. Both selections were excellent. You have your choice of soup or salad with your dinner. We both had the chicken soup — perfect on a cold winter night. I don’t recall our server’s name but she was friendly and attentive. We’ll be back!!!

Fabulous experience. Upon entering the staff gave us a welcoming greetting, extremely nice and friendly. Ashley was our server and went out of her way to make us happy. We ordered a pork sandwich with spinach and red peppers on a seeded roll — great. Also, a fresh made cheese burger — again great. Appitizer was fresh breaded chicken tenders with onion rings. You could tell the food was made at the time of order. While the inside isn’t anything fancy, the food was very good. Can’t wait to return to try breakfast and dinner. Give it a try — you won’t be sorry!
