    Spotless kitchen

    Food is amazing, customer service is awesome, establishment was spotless & their prices will keep me coming back

    Cheesesteak and seasoned fries
    Tatyana B.

    Went here for lunch with my co-workers , come early because it gets super busy. I can't speak for the burgers, but the Philly cheese steaks are really good. I've lived in Philly before and have had cheese steaks from Joe's & Pat's and these are very comparable. Meat is tender and flavorful, chopped right. The cheese melts right on top and makes it gooey and delicious. The bread is soft and they toast it really well. I also got the seasoned fries on the side...thought they were a bit pricey for fries but the seasoning they used does give extra flavor. Don't be scared by the greasy flat top or the decor...the grease makes everything taste so good. If they remodeled and made it a bit cleaner i'd give them an extra star. Will defiantly be back for more cheese steaks.

    Bacon Cheeseburger w/Sweet Potato Fries

    This is my go to spot whenever I'm looking for a keto friendly meal that hits all my macros. Burger Island will not deliver the most eye appealing meals but they surely deliver on taste. For this lunch run I ordered the bacon cheeseburger with no bun and the beef salad. The meat on both the burger and salad are cooked and seasoned well. The burger patty is definitely made on the spot since it has absolutely no symmetry. The salad is very basic with the 1lb of beef being the main focal point. The ranch dressing is tasty and they always include extra without asking. My buddy also ordered the bacon cheeseburger with a side of sweet potato fries. She enjoyed her meal and agrees that the taste is spot on. The price point for their burgers are reasonable for the size. Overall if your looking for a tasty filling meal this is the place to go. If your looking for more show than taste you will be disappointed here. If you decide to give it a shot I recommend their jungle burger, it has an explosion of flavors.

    I should've took a before & after picture but it's okay. Burger was good , fries were yummy & I dipped them in their ranch . Definitely my new burger spot when I'm feeling meaty lol

    Small seasoned fries

    Ok, so I've seen this place for YEARS. Its a hole in the wall burger joint...so that's amazing right off the bat and it's next door to a tax service place and botanics. Amazing. I called up around 2pm and asked for a big island burger (no mayo) and a side of small fries. $9.68 plus $2 for a take out tip and I was on my way. No idea what to expect. They said...10-15 and when I walked in 12 min later....it wasn't ready but 14min in, they were sliding peppers and onions onto the patty on the grill and plating. So pretty accurate estimate. The employees were really friendly, professional and kind. So onto the burger...pics were taken riiiight after they were packed. I tried a fry, they were really well seasoned and crispy The thing is....by the time I made the drive home...the heat and humidity in the styrofoam had worked their magic and they were fairly ... Not crisp haha. And the bottom bun of the burger was soggy AF. Like...they put the pickles there and it's almost like they slapped super wet picked with a lot of juice on the bun. Which..is just annoying. I just wrapped a paper towel around the burger to hold it while I ate. So, the burger is solid. It's a HUGE serving. And they do NOT skimp on the toppings. But theitself patty is so so so SO flavorless. I tried a piece of the patty on it's own and it's EXACTLY like if you were to cook meat in a pan and not season it a smidge. And that's a HUGE detriment to the entire experience of eating a burger. The thing that makes the burger doable, is that they STACK it with toppings. Will I be back, nah. I eat a burger like 4 times a year and if I'm gonna indulge in something so decadent ....I want the flavor to just pop. I highly recommend that you eat inside and don't take it to go...to save yourself a soggy as hell bottom bun and enjoy your fries crispy. Also...the shop has a "please wear a face mask" sign on their door...but ain't no one on staff wearing one...sooooo....you probably don't have to. Now...I choose to still mask up....but ...just a heads up.

Ryan was helping out on the floor and was SO friendly. And the manager, jim stopped by to check on us as well. My husband had the kick in chicken fried bacon burger and gave it two thumbs up! I have a gluten and dairy restriction and they took care of me - and my burger was great. We will definitely be visiting again. Love that Jakes is family owned! So friendly!

    Let's talk about Jake's. First things first -- the service…read morewas amazing. My server, Charity, was attentive, personable, and just made the whole experience easy. No chasing her down. No awkward waits. Just smooth, professional service. The ambiance was on point too -- relaxed, comfortable, somewhere you can actually sit and enjoy your meal. Now to the star of the show: the KICKIN' CHICKEN FRIED BACON BURGER. Fresh double beef patties, Jake's hickory sauce, melted cheese, crisp lettuce, red onion, chipotle mayo -- and topped with two thick, deep-fried slices of chicken fried bacon. Let me pause right there. That bacon? Crispy, thick, and absolutely amazing. It complemented that burger perfectly. The texture alone was next level. Everything blended well. The poppy seed bun was different, but it worked. It held everything together without falling apart -- and that matters with a stacked burger like this. Now here's my honest transparency: the patty was a little overcooked for my liking. Not dry, but just a touch longer on the fire than I would have preferred. Dial that back slightly and this burger would be a full-on knockout. I also had the onion rings -- crispy, not greasy, solid choice. And let's not ignore the SPICY MANGORITA. Mi Campo Blanco, mango, jalapeño, lime, Tajín -- and yes, I had two. Smooth with a little kick, that sweet heat balance was working. If you like a margarita that flirts with spice but doesn't overpower you, this is it. Would I go back? Absolutely. Next time I'm trying the chicken fried steak. I'm a fan, and now I need to see what Jake's does with it. I know there are other locations along the way back to Austin -- I think I spotted one in Waco -- so that may be my next stop. Great service. Great vibe. Strong food with just a small tweak needed on cook time. I'll be back.
