Jake Moran's

Pros: Super love their burgers! Also, their jalapeño poppers (choose cream cheese) is a must try!! Fries are great too--really crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. Bartender (at night) is nice and attentive. Cons: Food prep takes a little longer compared to other pubs because they only have 1 cook and 1 bartender/server. They don't have COVID-19 protocols, i.e. masks are not required, no social distancing required, you can do or be whatever you want. Even the staff don't wear masks and all their regulars come without masks on.

I had a great first experience today, the cheeseburger was yummy! Thank you for the wonderful service, I will be back soon!

While driving home from work in Vernon Hills I drove past a bunch of smells. One stood out more than others, a nice juicy burger. Speaking with my SO, we discussed options. We researched for the best burger in Mundelien. As we were on Google Jake Moran's popped up. We wanted to get out to enjoy the beautiful night in September. We noticed we need gas so we stopped and the cashier was a local and knew of Jake Moran's as well. We found out the drinks are top notch and the cheeseburger is fire! (Exact quote) After hearing that our stomachs got super excited!!! Once we arrived Ceasar greeted us with such delight! We already felt welcome and actually sat at the bar we normally would have sat at the tables to browse Reddit. Enjoying our Coor's Light and Tito's with Lemons, their huge screen television had the Cubs game on for us to watch and we stayed off our phones while we conversed with Ceaser and ourselves about making plans for our new home we just moved into 4 months ago. We loved getting to know the staff they truly have passion in their food and business!! Our food was given to us when they knew it would be the best and the Chicken Fingers were ON POINT! We haven't had them in so long, the ranch was home made the crispness of the crunch into the chicken was perfect! Coleslaw was not dry and was the perfect amount of sauce! We had 3 I ate all 3! I loved so much! Everything got served at one time which we said which ever comes out first. All of them did. HeHe we loved that! We love variety and usually share our meal. Halvesies! Hehe. The Patty Melt I devoured half in 2 mins! The onions were carmelized and small so you had a lot versed maybe 5 like normal places do! I love loading it on! The bread had herbs and was fantastic! Honestly didn't want to share hehe They didn't ask if we wanted ketchup and mustard and salt and pepper he just brought everything and was very attentive. Eric doesn't like lettuce, tomatoe and onion on his Burger so we got it plain. Which I rather try anyways. He gave me his half Cheeseburger and my mouth fell in love with the bread it was soft and held the meat and cheese from grease. (Not a fan of grease) his was Medium-Well and the juice nicely in my mouth made the cheese enhance with the Cheddar. Usually I stay away from onion rings because I don't like soggy ones. These oh my goodness so crunchy and the BEST ONION RING! Eric took 3 and I actually stared him down like Nnnooooooooooo! Lol Then I (not him) remembered we can come back! Hehe Best looking pickles I have ever seen given to us! Oh my goodness 5/5 lovely atmosphere with and local that we rather support than chains. We both work for local small businesses and to find it on the first shot really surprised us! I want to go back for that Patty Melt! Please get one and the fries are crisp not soggy. Which who doesn't love? Hehe As we were checking out the game the chef started to tell us about his Chili they were making for tomorrow. I loved the chunks of peppers and tomatoes rather than thick chili! I enjoy it to be soupy not a paste. 5/5 chili man! Way to go! Over all loved the experience as soon as we opened the door to leaving full with a special chili spice to talk about in the car how fall is here and how we can make so many soups! We will be back no doubt! Thank you Ceaser and your staff please for giving us a great fun night!

Great food. Good atmosphere. Great/Polite Service

Burger was cooked perfectly! Colslaw was amazing! But what will make me go back is the way the staff treated us! My son is special needs. He screams and yells for the fun of it. A man came out of kitchen and made us feel extremely welcome! Bar tender was caring and understanding! I will definitely recommend this place 100%!
