It has been a while since we've featured Jakes diner. We first featured Jake's in 2011 at the Wendover Avenue location (see HERE). We've wanted to get to the downtown location and, yesterday, we finally had that chance. The above photo features the most recent, Jake's, located at 611 South Elm Street. It is celebrating its one year anniversary. We visited yesterday at breakfast. The breakfast food is fabulous as is the service. As you can tell from this photo of Chris, the wait staff is happy and works hard to make sure you have a great dining experience. The downtown location is to South Elm Street what the Cheers Bar is to Boston. Chris says on the weekends, customers who sit at the bar all know each other and have the best time together. He told us that the the cooks have been there for a long time and he was very complimentary of their cooking skills and their loyalty to the restaurant. Chris himself has roots to the restaurant and the owners that go back almost a decade.
It is getting harder and harder to find a good, home-cooked breakfast. If you are looking for one and want service with a smile, head to Jake's. If you are dining alone, nothing beats eating at the counter. Those leather seats are super comfortable!
Happy Saturday!
