We're SERIOUS about fun food. That means despite our chill atmosphere, all our burgers and bites are hand-crafted from scratch and made-to-order. From our homemade buns to our hand-smashed 100% certified angus beef burgers, our food is meticulously hand-picked by Executive Chef Pryce Morhalo using only the freshest ingredients. We're raising the bar for casual dining. And frankly, we’re in a league of our own. Our Shoobie Shakes shook Philly. They're straight out of dream: a massive milkshake, swirled with whipped cream and fresh chocolate, rimmed with the dust of cookies or graham crackers, and topped with decadent desserts—an entire slice of cake, or a melt-in-your-mouth s’more. But these milkshakes aren’t just for kids. Our shakes deliver an unforgettable experience to cherish with someone special. Dietary restrictions? No problem. We're proud to offer a wide variety of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options, making our dining experience exclusively inc

    We shared the avocado toast, the brown rice salad - both excellent and one of us had the manhattan clam chowder. The last was good but lukewarm to the table - detracted from its taste on a cold day.

    Our first experience at Jake and Cooper’s was on Christmas Eve, a special evening, and it did not disappoint! From start to finish we felt so welcomed by the whole staff. We had the privilege of having Scott as our server and Bruce Joseph show us their catalog of wine. It was a fun evening with the staff capped off by a beautiful meal. We certainly cannot wait to come back!
