Daytime atmosphere is peaceful
by Traceroo
Horror stories of the cigarette smoke don't appear to be true for daytime. A/C in main room, windows open on enclosed patio, plenty of shade on outdoor patio. Weekend lunch crowd consisted of families, the elderly, quiet locals. We expect the atmosphere there is quite different after dark. Food tasted fresh and was truly delicious. Portions are HUGE, so consider ordering on the "light" side and you'll still get plenty. Prices are extremely reasonable for even half of what they give you. Service was friendly and attentive. Only drawback is that the parking lot is very small and hard to manuveur -- bear that in mind if going with a group or during peak times.
- Pros: Food, prices, casual atmosphere
- Cons: Parking, possible smokey bar atmosphere at night

Best burger in Dallas!
by ksmith719
I've been on the hunt for the best burger in Dallas, and Jake's wins hands down. Thin burger patties are sandwiched between a sesame bun and are more than filling. If you have room, order an Oreo Shake - another best of Dallas. I don't recommend the cheese fries.
- Pros: Burgers, shakes
- Cons: Fries

Great food, better prices, best staff
by caseyfunk
Jakes is great for exactly what you want when it comes to beer and burgers. Durring the day time it is a great burger joint. Food is great and the staff is quick and attentive. The after work crowd is perfect for winding down after a good hard day at work. Happy hour specials are great tasting and easy on the wallet. The evening crowd is better especially when the game is on. The food can't be beat. Drinks are some of the best in town made just the way you like them. Wait staff are the best around. They are quick, helpful, and SUPER HOT! There are plenty of flat screen tv's everywhere you look you can see the game. There is a Quality pool table and darts on request. If you are looking for the perfect place to eat and the best place to have a good time Check out JAKES.
- Pros: Great staff, Great atmosphere, Best food around
- Cons: none
