“ Invited to Jake's located on Johnson Drive just west of Quivira on the South side. 'Night Run', a motorcycle group delivering toys for disadvantaged children within a four-state area in their trailers and trucks. Wrapped packages getting ready for Christmas giving. Jake's is a sponsor, so ate dinner while wrapping. The nachos were plentiful, chips very fresh and plenty of cheese and meat. Prices are very reasonable and service was excellent (Chris was our server). Will frequent this business more in the future both for their food/prices and their support of disadvantaged children. ”
“ Google the best burgers in shawnee. These were one of the top results. They had the Royals game on. I ordered a burger told the bartender that the whole reason I was there was because of my Google results. Seemed very pleased. The burger was delicious for a quick bar step in. I did enjoy the burger! The cook came out. I told him I was very pleased and he seemed very enthused and happy in general that I enjoyed his food. If I'm in that area I will definitely go back. Even if the cook was wearing a Blues shirt. ”

“ Owner always serves Top grade food, like 90/10 beef, never a disappointment ”
“ Drive by Jakes all the time so finally we decided to try. We went at 4 so it wasn't very busy. Decided to try the Open Face Roast Beef for the Friday Special. We also got the appetizer plate. It came with breaded mushrooms, mozzarella sticks and jalapenos poppers. Everything was good but the star was definitely the open faced roast beef. That thing was huge. I expected less being the special to be lighter. Loved every bite. My wife said the margarittas were very good. My daughter got Buffalo wings. She liked them but said the Barbq would of been better. My son n law got the Ruben Sandwich and chips. He enjoyed it. Overall definitely recommend. ”
