    We grabbed some dinner. Great family times. Great food. The ricotta cheesecaake was amazing. Pictures speak for themselves. We also had some spicy wings. Plump and Juicy. Fresh fried mozzarella. Not pictured a spaghetti combo with meatballs and a salad & some french onion soup. Great meal as always.

    Found this place on Yelp and was really looking forward to trying the Walleye tacos. I must admit they were a bit disappointing. The slaw was delicious but overload the taco in volume and flavor. There was a small fried roll-shaped piece of walleye at the bottom but I honestly couldn't tell you what the walleye itself tasted like. The mushroom flatbread with balsamic glaze was the complete opposite! It was a round flatbread, which was surprising but that could be usual for the area. It was very generously topped with so many delicious mushrooms! The restaurant area couldn't accommodate a party of two so we sat in the bar. It's an attractive space with a large stone fireplace and tables as well as bar seats. The service was friendly, quick and accommodating. There were three large screen TVs with sports on each one and a good size crowd for a Wednesday night, but we had no trouble having a normal volume conversation. Cool place overall despite the disappointing walleye tacos. I highly recommend stoping in for a pint of the Masthead Haunted Hayride Pumpkin Ale!

    Let me be honest. We came to go to happy hour at another place that is VERY close. Their bar was full so we came here Our bartender, Kenny, was awesome. His drinks were on point and he let us know about the appetizers! He was friendly and working hard We had a bunch of appetizers. The meatballs are SOO good. Also had the Queso fundido which was the best Queso I have ever had (and I'm a foodie)! I could have eaten it with a spoon!!! GET THIS!! Had the French onion soup - after I was told that it's the absolute best around and that people drive here for it!!!! It was good, but I don't have to have it. Hubs got a five cheese flatbread. It was very good Hubs said Black Manhattan is FANTASTIC I tried several martinis, all were good. My favorite was the Italian 75, but I had it made with vodka instead of Gin

    Good food We were in Avon for a date night and a quick search brought up this place. The parking lot is small but plenty of parking behind in the shopping section. They do not take reservations on the weekend so we had to wait about 20 minutes for a table. The place is small inside with tables pretty close together. The patio area looked nice but too cold on the night we went. It was also rather loud. The food was very good. Tried the farmers market salad, French onion soup and meatball pizza.

    Classy!

    Great patio for outdoor seating! The French onion soup hits the spot on a crisp, fall day. Enjoyed our lunch very much.

    Only downside is that it fills up quickly. They are currently building a patio which will be a great addition!

    We never had been here before, so we drove out and found ample parking and a very nice restaurant…read more We were surprised that Jake's was NOT on the lake, but across the street from the lake. If you're going for a lake view restaurant, this wasn't it. Upon entering, we were greeted by a very pleasant young lady. Seated by the window, we were pleased by the menu and the daily specials. Our server was very prompt and courteous. We ordered the walleye sandwich and the perch sandwich. Both sandwiches came with hand cut french fries and coleslaw. Our son ordered the grilled cheese sandwich and tomato basil soup. Our food arrived very promptly. My wife and I both loved the fish and felt that it was one of the best fish sandwiches we've had in a long time. The fries were rather limp and could use some more attention by the kitchen to make them stand out more. I like a mayo based coleslaw, so I didn't really love the slaw, although it was fresh and tart. The soup was very tasty and the grilled cheese was done just right! Overall, we would recommend this restaurant and we can tell that the local crowd likes this place and has kept it in business for a long time. Now if they only had that lake view restaurant!

    Stopped for a second time to Jake's on the Lake in Avon Lake Ohio. First time we had some wings…read moreand a Fish special that was so tender and seasoned right. This time we had a burger and some Potato skins. This Restaurant can get crowed on the weekends. Be aware. Their fries are fresh cut like "fair" fries. Service is always friendly. We can solidly recommend Jake's. Follow them on Facebook for their weekly specials.
