   I wish I could leave a review about the food, but unfortunately, we never even got that far. When we arrived, we stood at the front for 15 minutes before the hostess even acknowledged us. Once we were finally seated, we waited another 20 minutes—not a single server came by, not even to bring water. At that point, we decided it wasn’t worth it and left. We went to Not Your Average Joe’s instead, and the service there was night and day compared to Jake and Joe’s. We were greeted promptly, seated right away, and had drinks within minutes. It’s disappointing when a restaurant doesn’t even make the effort to provide basic service, and based on this experience, I wouldn’t bother coming back.

   Fun casual place. Food is good. I wish they would play less audio on the sports ( you can’t hear it anyway) and more music.

   Jake and Joe’s is one of our favorite sports bars. We go there to have a drink, eat some dinner and watch a game. The drinks are good, the food is decent, and the screens are great! Only problem is that the menu is heavy into burgers and meat, and not much into veggies. I guess that goes with the territory…

   Thanks, Jonathan! We're thrilled to be one of your favorite spots to grab a drink, dinner, and catch a game! 🍻🏈 While our burgers are a hit, we also offer entrée-sized salads, main courses, and side salads at no extra charge with handhelds. Plenty of fresh options to enjoy next time! 🥗 Hope to see you again soon!

   The staff did a great time tonight! We went for the Celtics watch party and it was so much fun. Despite how busy it was, all drinks and food came out in a timely manner and the service was great!

   Great food and awesome atmosphere to watch every game. The food was really good for this type of restaurant. However, our server completely disappeared for long stretches of time.

   Another great dinner. Our food was all good and hot. The waiter was very polite and attentive. The restaurant was very loud with all the football games and fans!
