    Possibly the best steak I've ever had! Our waiter, Benny, was a wonderful host. He demonstrated exceptional care about our experience and was a great resource as we tried to choose among the many tempting items on the menu. Glad we took his recommendations and his advice - those rolls...wow. They landed it my favorites sublist of "my last meal" picks. Thank you for making my husband's birthday so special. The attention by every member of your team during every moment of the evening was sublime and welcome. Loved the atmosphere. A very memorable evening.

    We haven’t been to Jake’s in years and decided to go to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Everything was as I remembered it. The food, service and location were amazing. Sidney was our waitstaff and she understood the assignment and made sure to deliver a memorable meal for us. Kudos to T&S Restaurants for NOT being a part of the Landry’s chains! You are special and deserve to remain independent and deliver the highest quality food and service that you have been know to do for 50 years!!
