Jake's City Grille

We stopped by early on a Friday evening. Got right in. The staff was pleasant. Our waitstaff dropped by early and often. I added salad with my meal. It was workable. The burger was cooked exactly as I requested; well done but still juicy. Fries were this and crispy if that's how you like them. The pickled cucumber slices we're lightly pickled and delicious.

Went with my 9 and 3 year old at about 1:15pm. Waited several minutes to get seated while 3-4 different staff looked at me (and eventually the couple behind me that had entered) but did not approach. Ordered fries as an appetizer, it never came. Ordered 2 kids meals, buttered noodles and burger and both were fine actually. Ordered Greek flatbread no mushrooms. Came with mushrooms all mixed in and could not get them or the flavor out. Server never came back to check except to bring the bill. Food took almost 30 minutes. Ordered dessert for the oldest and that came fast and was good. I asked to have my meal taken off the check and had no problems with that request. It just seemed like no one cared and no one wanted to be there. It was not overly busy but the entire feeling was that customers were a hassle. Hope it was a fluke but I would not go back myself.

Called around noon on a Sunday about bringing a large group in the same evening following a hockey tournament. The staff welcomed us by having an area prepped and set for us when we arrived. Our servers were efficient, organized and fun. Food was great and service was flawless. So appreciate the willingness to accommodate 50+ people on short notice and make it look like we had planned the dinner for weeks. Totally impressive!
