  • "We enjoyed Jake's last Friday night which also happened to be the night of the Manhattan / Iona game. The place was packed with fans trying to get a bite before the game. Our dinner and service was outstanding. Even though the place was packed, nothing suffered. The staff remained attentive and the food came out PERFECT. Can't wait to return."

  • "Year after year you get the same at Jakes in the Bronx... And that's not a negative! My girlfriend and I always get the Porterhouse for two which is consistently phenomenal. The wine list is great and the tap beer choices are excellent. We always seem to get seated on the 3rd floor which overlooks Van Cortlandt Park. The only downside we ever encounter there is that the atmosphere is not very conducive for a quiet, romantic dinner. There are usually raucous groups there that can be somewhat annoying. Also, The tables by the windows in the winter are very drafty and when the heat comes on it can get a bit uncomfortable. Still, overall, this is my favorite steak house and a "once a month" stop for me."

  • "We ordered a Porterhouse, New York Strip, and a few Filets with several sides. The steaks were all fantastic and all of the food was cooked perfectly - the spinach was outstanding. Wine recommendations were great. It is a little pricey but the atmosphere is great for catching up with friends or a night out. The service was spot on - not rushed or overbearing at all. A definite must in the Bronx!"

  • "Our waiter was very friendly, very knowledgeable. He made our experience there a lot of fun. Our steaks were made to perfection! Love the creamed spinach. As always our dinner was delicious. Barely had room for dessert, Will always come back here for a great steak dinner!!!"

  • "My wife and I went out for a quiet night together, celebrating our first anniversary, and we picked Jake"s. We have been here before and loved the food and ambience. They have a great selection of beers and wines. My wife had a pear beer and I had a Sam's Winter. We had an appetizer of mussels fra diavolo and we each had a filet mignon. We also shared a side of mashed potatoes. All was amazing. The only small complaint I would have is that my steak was probably resting a bit too long and was not very warm. All came up to around $170. Great Night, Great Food."

  • "The porterhouse steak for was definitely the high point of the meal; excellent beef cooked to perfection. The sides were not as memorable. The service was excellent. We were seated immediately upon arrival in a booth upstairs as I had requested. Our server was attentive but not overbearing. Our water glasses were kept filled and the silverware and plates removed promptly after each course. Timing was good not rushed though the restaurant was very busy. My only compliant is that it was so loud! it was not easy to hear one another speak without raising one's voice. The free valet parking was a nice plus."

  • "Always delicious food. It can get noisy, but that's OK with eaters having a fine time. Good selection of international and local beers. Ask about daily specials, especially chicken corn chowder."

  • "Had a cozy booth in the bar and delicious steaks, lobsters and the bacon app unreal! Must order!"
    Dined on 1/18/2014
  • "A nice restaurant with efficient service and a mixed group of patrons. Nothing special. We spent over $200 for two people. One bottle wine, two apps and porterhouse steak for two with two sides followed by a coffee and cappuccino. When considering sides,server assured me that the French fries were fresh and house made. They were not. I received the standard previously frozen tasteless fries you can get at any diner. Applewood bacon was tasty but undercooked. Steak was plentiful and cooked as requested. When comparing Jakes to other NYC steak houses, be advised, jakes does Not serve USDA Prime steaks."

  • "Jake's never fails continue to serve outstanding steakhouse specialties! We are so lucky to have this gem in our neighborhood. We very rarely bother to go into Manhattan for steaks anymore. Waitstaff are very professional. Awesome martinis! Great beer selection. Prices are in sync with the quality of the food."

  • "I had made reservations at another steakhouse in Manhattan and could not find parking so...I Decided to goggle steakhouses in the Bronx, never did I imagine that the Bronx had such a gem. I was glad everything turned out great. This will be one if our favorite steakhouses to go to. Looking forward to our next visit."

  • "Jakes is one of my all time favorite restaurants. The steak is outstanding but there are other delicious choices if beef isn't your thing. The service is great and everyone is so friendly. I have never been disappointed and love to bring guests here for a wonderful evening out."
    Dined on 12/11/2013
  • "I took my wife here for her birthday expecting a romantic dinner but instead got a loud sports bar. Steak was good but overpriced. If the waitress paid attention to us, she would have gotten another bottle of wine out of us. Definitely not going back."
    Dined on 12/6/2013
  • "The food is always great and better yet, consistant. Most days i give it 5 stars throughout but when its crowded, the downstairs is so loud. Ask to sit upstairs. Waiter was awesome but food was a little slow bc there was a party upstairs."
    Dined on 12/5/2013
  • "I thought the dinner was overpriced, although I had a filet mignon with a bone and it was quite thick,but had a lot if fat. I had the lump crab as an appetizer, it was cold, I didn't know that it would be served cold. Service was good. The steak should have been delicious but it wasn't ."

    Dined on 11/15/2013
  • "Lucky to have such a gem of a neighborhood restaurant serving the best steaks in the Bronx, and one of the best in NYC. Great service, park views during the changing seasons, great bar, valet parking, and accessibility. They have their own Wi-Fi, great wines, and selction of beers. Whether you plan on a family gathering, romantic evening, or a Sport Bar event, this is the place."
    Dined on 11/3/2013
  • "The food is very good, and the service is excellent. The only thing that stops me from saying this place is superb and recommending it for almost all occasions is the noise level. If the restaurant is full, it's almost impossible to talk to others in your party. All diners resort to shouting which, of course, only increases the noise. If you can go there early or on an evening when there are not a lot of other diners, you'll have a first rate experience. Otherwise be prepared to shout and be shouted at!"

  • "I took my husband for his 50th birthday and it bought backthe romance of our 1st date. Great food and atmosphere. My only disappointment was that w/the reservation, I advised that I was celebrating his 50th birthday; they should have acknowledged it. Not a big deal, just thought I'd mention it! In short, loved the experience and will definitely return."
    Dined on 11/2/2013
  • "Great experience. Service (Kathleen) made the difference. Recommend eating upstairs. We sat in a big booth near the bar. We did made reservations only a couple days in advance and the place was packed. Great sides, Filet melted in our mouths. Go for the T-bone for two!"

  • "Ate at Jake's twice this week. Once at the bar and once in a booth. Both experiences were great. The sandwiches, soups and appetizers are worth every penny."
    Dined on 10/5/2013
  • "Everything was ok...just ok. We started w/ bruschetta and Cesar salad, followed by T-Bone steak and sides of fries and mushrooms. The only thing better than fair? The sauteed mushrooms - very good! The service was 'good' but 'fake good'. It felt forced and rehearsed...a bit strange and uncomfortable. We are frequent diners at steakhouses throughout nyc and when traveling. Sorry, but Jake's didn't measure up for us, and we have no desire to return or recommend."
