    WAY Over-rated. Entirely too expensive for the quality of food which you could basically get at Carino's or any other mid-range family restaurant but you pay 40% more. Staff is loud, disengaged and disregards any small requests for alterations to the food. I have been several times ONLY because other folks want to go and it is convenient to our home. BTW - I don't review restaurants typically but Jakers is just not worth the price.

    Food good, service great, sad to say they don't give OpenTable points so likely fewer visits. Appreciate being able to make a reservation but now they don't have the same incentive to go there. Prices have doubled in the last three years,

    Happy hour prices for drinks apparently only apply in the bar. 4 adults, 7 drinks, 4 dinners total:$157. total was more for drinks than dinners. The bar was crowded at 5pm. Recommendation: decent food and atmosphere but bring extra $$$

    When we arrived at Jakers they were turning everyone away as the power was out. We ended up at a different location to eat. A few options & assistance would have been a great option. Everyone was turned away & on their own to find another establishment to eat at.

    Frankly I was expecting more. The food was so-so. Service was ok. Prices were crazy. $75 for lunch. $20 for a 4 shrimp! And they were mediocre at best. I don’t mind paying but I expect to get a decent meal for my money. Hey, you asked…

    Jakers provides a casual yet more up-scale atmosphere for your special occasion. Both my husband and I have extensive food allergies and they were very accommodating in making substitutions to our order. The food is high quality and locally sourced. We made reservations which I highly recommend. Servers were very attentive and super friendly. Definitely a consistent place to have a nice meal and the food is always great!

    The best way to describe Jakers is like this. It is an expensive sports bar. To me, this was a disappointment. The food was good, although, the appetizers were brought out warm. Overall, this was a very noisy disappointment.

    Host argued that we didn’t have a reservation, but seated us anyway. Server vanished several times had to request help from other staff. Food took a long time to be delivered and was cold. The establishment is so dark. It is hard to tell if it is clean or not.

    Our waitress was also covering a group of about 25 in a provate room and our service became quite slow. This was also matched with a our entrees arrving literally a few minutes after our salads. One item was forgotten in our order and that took over 10 minutes to be fullfilled once we got her attention. We had previously had a great experience at Jakers in Twin Falls. The service clearly did not match the prices nor the quality of the food.

    Food was good. Meat was above average. made reservations several days in advance using OpenTable. When I arrived they didn't have my reservation so i had to sit at the bar and wait. They did put me higher up the list as I had only finished 1 beer by the time my pager went off. Then we were seated next to the bathrooms but I didn't dare ask to be seated in a less odoriferous location for fear of banishment to the bar again. But I really don't like the smell of urinal cakes mingling with a piece of $70 prime rib. I think OpenTable is a scam to get your email address to sell. I would suggest calling on the phone.

    Birthday dinner. Online reservations were easy and worked well. Our table was waiting. When our server found out that this was a birthday, she immediately informed us that Jaker's has a "birthday club" that gives a 50% discount on dinner. Got it. Next, we brought our own special wine for the occasion and found that Jaker's has the lowest corking fee that we've seen in a long time. However, our wine was quite old and the dried out wine cork broke during extraction, so the fee was waived. The menu had something for everyone, the service was prompt and cheerful, the food was delicious and plentiful, and the price was right.

    Primarily eaten at during lunch hours due to location and reputation amongst peers, I opted to pay Jaker’s a visit for a late+chill dinner date. No issues with getting a table on short notice because of the hour we arrived; I was leery about arriving too late and facing an experience like other reviewers have lamented about, i.e. closing kitchen; spent staff. Our table was “out back” in the area I assume is for overflow on busy nights. Totally fine with the privacy; I actually prefer having a table or two between patrons. The server was decent. The quality of the food - seasoning and sear - was excellent. So much so that even with average portions (3 out of 5 stars), the perceived value deserves a strong four stars. Definitely worth another visit, albeit, with a different date :)

    Went for birthday dinner. App said no reservations available anytime after 3:15 on the day I wanted so took the 3pm. When we arrived it was very quiet and only a few patrons. The hostess explained to call in next time if we wanted if the app said nothing available because it is setup for only so many online reservations. People walk in and there is a good amount of seating. The staff was extremely nice and considerate. The background music was low and enjoyable. Appetizer we had was coconut prawns,and I had the 14 oz prime rib and wife had a chicken breast with crab meat on top. It was all excellent. The prices were a bit higher than I expected but the food quality and service definitely made it worthwhile for me. Overall a great birthday dinner experience for a 61 year old.
