UCB SpeedskatingFebruary 6, 2014Olympic Viewing party in the Boiler Room at Jake's on Thursday, 2/13, 6:30pm-midnight. Come out and cheer on Team USA! Family and child-friendly activities including games, raffle and 50-50.
Lacey CappsJune 3, 2014Stopped 4 a leisurely Sun. lunch: ordered a draft beer (good selections) & the summer salad (exceptional). Service was relaxed (go when u have time), waiter was great.. New young chef - worth trying!
Alcides CumminsApril 5, 2014So I thought this place was cool when I discovered the awesome sports bar downstairs and cool bartender... Then a swarm of children came in...so apparently it's a kid zone, beware
M Squared Real EstateAugust 15, 2011Excellent food, great bartenders. Unlimited mimosas for $12 at brunch and live jazz band on Sundays. Try the wings - chipolte orange are insanely hot, if you dare...
Key lime martini was so good that were using it as the signature drink at our wedding. Thanks crystal for the recipe.
CJAugust 1, 2011You have to try their Grilled Calamari Steak, it is totally different and really delicious! Two thumbs up!!- afrofuturistscholarAugust 20, 2013Try their burger with avocado bacon raw onion with a side salad no bun!
Liz JarvisMay 21, 2011Split the Aztec burger and they cut it in half and gave us both plates with fries best server ever. Thank you Claire H!
Eric F.January 21, 2013More like a restaurant than a diner (pricewise also) but no healthy options on the brunch menu. Most of the food is pretty rich and loaded. However if you are looking for hearty burgers, this is good
WomplyJanuary 18, 2012Jake's American Grille has partnered with Womply to offer $25 cash back after 3 visits!
Derek FromsonDecember 17, 2013Appetizers and drinks are your best bets at Jake's, though appetizers are rather salty. Stay away from the ordinary tasting burgers and steaks, which are a bit dry. Service is average.
Black n Burger was good.. Service was nice.. Hope it turns into a go-to neighborhood restaurant
Jumana KhouryJuly 22, 2018Nothing, pancakes were dry, shrimp was rotten, and the service was slow and almost nonexistent
Don't go towards closing for food- had to send our burger back twice- it was raw. Overall the food wasn't great- fries were mediocre imitations of mcdonalds and grilled calamari was not hot enough.

"The Yalie isn't quite New Haven authentic but it's probably the best DC can do. That said, Comet is a lovely pizza place! Great atmosphere and service."
