Had dinner here the other night, walked into the dining area and opted to sit in the bar booth up against the window. The bread that comes with honey-butter are served fresh and is oh sooooo good!! I ordered the chicken fried steak with mash potatoes. It wasn't very tasty but I'm sure accommodated seniors with diet restrictions. I added the salt and pepper by taste on my plate and enjoyed my order! I did ask for a second serving of their bread and they happily delivered fresh! They did call the bread scones. The dining area is large and well maintained. The bar area and booths were busy and also kept clean. read more

Huge portions, decent food, slightly slow service. Food takes awhile to come out and forgot a lot of our orders. Loved the bread and honey butter that comes with the meal though. FOOD: Clam Chowder (7/10): Solid side, but nothing super special. Worth trying! Ribeye Steak (8/10): Cooked perfectly medium rare and a really good beefy flavor. Calamari (6/10): Not the calamari that I'm used to but could be worth trying. Seared Tuna (7/10): Sauce was surprisingly really good. An appetizer worth getting! read more

It's never fun to leave a negative review, but come on! We tried again after quite some time to see if there have been any improvements.....and none. The salad bar is back, so I was excited to try it, but it is a joke! First, ordering drinks is ridiculous. The server asked the bartender twice, while he stood there on his phone. Getting a drink took about 10 mins while I watched the bartender just stand there. The salad bar is $19.99 and for what?? I expected a salad bar filled with lots of toppings, all the extras and other types of salad - it's just lettuce, a few toppings and unlabeled dressing. That's it. If going for the salad bar, do yourself a favor and order a cup of soup and side salad and save your money. Never ending disappointment. Won't be back. read more

Megan was our server. We came in at 8:11 pm on a Monday night-they close at 9 pm. We ordered 2 chicken fried steak and a sirloin. Salads arrived quickly but food did not arrive until 8:57 pm. Both chix fried steak arrived Luke warm AT BEST. We sent 1 back and it was microwaved so came back hardened so not good at all. The sirloin was very good. The service was NOT GOOD AT ALL. We understand it's near closing time but would have appreciated some attention from the server ( drinks, updates on why food takes so long, picking up payment, etc.). Disappointing experience overall. After posting this, I spoke to the business manager. She was very apologetic and listened to my concerns. She went out of the way to promise to rectify the situation which I appreciate. Based on that conversation, it shows she truly cares about the customers and we will try this restaurant again in the future-THANK YOU Breanne read more

I went here for my birthday so this review is a little late lol but nonetheless I enjoyed myself! The staff is really nice and accommodating! The ambiance is very welcoming and friendly, a great family restaurant vibe! The food was pretty decent, I had the seafood linguini which had some flavor to it that I enjoyed! Definitely willing to try this place again. read more

Great ambiance. Quick service. Large portions... everyone went home with a box. Consider the appetizer as an entre. Only down side is that soups and salads for a table of 4 didn't come at the same time. Those with salads got them 3 min before mains were dropped. But staff very pleasant. read more

The food was good. Flavor was good and needed no extra seasoning. I ordered the ribeye steak. The steak was tender and topped with onions and mushrooms. It was a bit pricey for the size. I ordered French onion soup. It was hot but a little bland in taste. The strawberry salad with feta was a nice surprise. It was cold and very tasty. This I would get again. Service was good and attentive to any need that may arise. read more

Had soup and salad for lunch. The soup was delicious and the salad had great options Had very good service both friendly and helpful

Food was great! Prime Rib was so tender and tasty and excellent ! And the service was great also!

Went in a while back after hearing they were again offering soup and salad bar. It was late afternoon before the dinner crowd so they weren't even remotely busy. They've had a waitress who has been there a long time who never comes to check on you and of course we got stuck with her yet again. She spends more time yacking at the bar then paying attention to her tables. I ended up with a tiny cup of soup and the next time she came back it was to bill us out. Never checked on us once. Honestly the worst waitress I've dealt with in Great Falls and yet she is still there. read more

When i was stationed at Malmstron AFB in Great Falls, MT, we decided to try this place out. It was honestly one of the best tasting steaks we ever ate. Highly recommend if you are ever in GF, MT read more

Wonderful place to eat. Great salad bar. Under 15.00. Try it out. The waitress was so very good and sweet and helpful. T he e raspberry tea Wes very good as well. read more

Terrible service! Rundown and just not what it use to be. Unfortunately this place has gone downhill. We were told 10 minute wait to be seated. It was over 50 minutes. It took our food over an hour and then the potatoes were not cooked. Our waitress kept disappearing like gone, vanish, never coming back for 15, 20 minutes at a time. She never asked if we wanted drink refills. Our drinks were left at the bar until our dinner was over after she did take our order. This use to be one of the nicer places to go. Not anymore. read more

The food was excellent! The service was horrible. Some young kid with the nametag Thomas seemed to be the main bartender when we sat down. He ignored us for several minutes before deciding to grace us with his attention. He continued to ignore us (including no utensils or napkins with our food, which was delivered by another member of the staff). My final straw was when I watched this entitled punk ignore his wait staff as they stood at their station hoping for a drink order to be made while he furiously, and loudly, pulled washed drinkware out of the quick wash and throw the items on the shelf. And then start another batch. Sorry guys, I've run and owned hospitality businesses. The middle-aged Karen that tried to come to Thomas-the-punk's rescue was clearly a relative of his, and had zero interest in customer service. You put the customer first, always, and you never, never, never ignore your wait staff when they need a drink made. Had I been the owner and seen this behavior, I'd have fired both Thomas and his mom/aunt/whatever on the spot. Covid is no longer an excuse for bad service. Thomas can work graveyard at Walmart where he doesnt need to face the public and the Karen leaping to his rescue can finish her time at McDonald's. read more

Memorable for all the wrong reasons! By 7:00 they were out of Prime Rib, we decided on 2 center cut rib steaks 1 rare, 1 med rare. Shane returned to inform us they only had 1 left. It was obvious it had been miss cooked or returned to the kitchen. Served on a 6 inch plate well done not a drop of juice. Ineatable no appology from server or discount. He forgot my potatoes, asking if he had forgotten something 10 minutes after serving. I asked for him to forget it. Forgot our rolls. Sat over 15 minutes for a server to take our payment. By 6:30 our reservation was over 20 minutes behind and a simple dinner turned into a 2 hour and 20 minute ordeal. read more

The tomato soup was extremely delicious!!! We had their Thanksgiving dinner on Thanksgiving. Would absolutely go back if I'm ever back in town. Service was outstanding and the place just felt like home 5/5 read more

There are better steakhouses in the Great Falls area. That are locally owned and you get more for your money. Everything at Jaker seems to be higher priced. We ordered some appetizers. There was just two of us at the table and they were auctioned off to us. One of us had soup, and the other salad or appetizer plates were left on the table. Their entrées came and again they were auctioned off at the table and none of the plates were picked up and take it off the table. Now we're looking at appetizer plates, dirty soup, plates, and dirty salad plates, trying to eat our entrée. When you go out for dinner, you pay for an experience and someone to take care of you and service you otherwise you might stay home and do it yourself I had the cap ribeye, 6 ounces of meat for a very high price, My husband had a pasta edition. He said it was good. I noticed all the steaks are smaller and higher price than other steakhouses in Great Falls read more

This location is better than some other places I have been to. Friendly staff and on top of everything. Good portions, flavor was good and food temperature was spot on. I have had multiple menu items over the years and love that almost everything is to my liking. The "Long Island" is one of the go to drinks here. read more

Jakers Bar and Grill - the menu - Bars Near Me - Great Falls, Montana

When we walked in, we were prepared for a nice experience - the people were friendly and servers were quite busy yet efficient. The place is a lot nicer than many restaurants in the area. The food coming to the other tables looked fabulous. We spent a lot of time looking at the menu trying to decide. The Hubbs and I share everything, so we often negotiate who is getting what. I started with a drink called the dirty orphan girl (description in photo below), and the Hubbs had a lemon sour beer. We decided to order all appetizers. And this is where we had hit-and-miss experience. The baked potato soup was good - a nice size and good flavor. The French onion soup was very salty and it had a thicker texture than most. And it was odd that it was in a smaller than usual bowl, especially when you pay $2 extra for a premium soup. The wedge salad was nice - crisp with grape tomatoes and bacon chunks. Lots of blue cheese. The Montana scone biscuits were fabulous! I ordered the Ahi Tuna appetizer. It appeared to be cooked nice and rare and presented nicely with rice and sauces. But the texture was weird - a little mushy. I ate it cuz I paid $18 for it, but didn't enjoy it. The Hubbs got the Teriyaki Steak bites with mushrooms. It looked fabulous and came with several slices of toasted bread. But again, so salty we couldn't eat it. We took it to go because maybe I can put some potatoes with it to offset the salt. We decided to get the butter cake with ice cream. It was okay. The crust was just tough and chewy - not what we expected. So we had a $75 tab, but only happy with three of the seven food items. We most likely won't be back. read more

Very nice restaurant. Our server Devon is very nice. We a had soup also. Lobster bowl and clam chowder. Both where awesome. The steak and cheese needed more rate. Salt and pepper. Maybe add some mushrooms and more bell pepper and onions.little dry. Maybe over cooked. The French onion was tender. We had heard that this place was awesome. read more

We were visiting from out of town and looking for a good steak and thought we would try it out. Front of the house service seemed a little disjointed, the host seemed to be confused as to where to seat us. That being said our server Tiffany was very helpful, suggested the Sirloin and I was not disappointed. Great cut of beef done perfectly. Wedge salad was great and the Baked Potato Soup was delish. Fry bread was very good as well! It felt like for as many staff as they had working on a Monday evening that the service would have been on point. Tiffany saved the experience and she is the reason for the fourth star. Overall good experience and I would recommend visiting, especially if you are looking for a legit sirloin. read more

We have always loved coming to Jakers as the food and service is usually very good. As soon as we were seated the man who was to be our waiter was loudly berating the couple in the booth behind us. Telling them they really put him in a bind. How he had 5 tables fill up at once and they had asked to get something and how it was really a problem. Having been a waitress for most of my life this is part of the job and it is NEVER the customers fault. We ordered the lobster bisque as it is a favorite. We were served very thin, stringy soup with hardly any of the flavor of our usual experience. We asked for ice water with lemon with our meal and we were stuck with the tiny glasses of the starter water and brought some lemon slices. The food was severely over priced for the quality. Sadly I don't think we will be back. read more

Went there twice while we were in town. Both times good service fast service hot food. Lobster bisque is definitely the best. Steak could've used a harder sear, but I'm just being picky at this point. Everything was great. I would definitely recommend. read more

Jakers Bar and Grill - Ribeye with shrimp and shrimp cream sauce with tots. Weird bowl option and greasy but good - Bars Near Me - Great Falls, Montana

I don't know why people are not giving this place better ratings. I had the blackened chicken pasta and it was good. The cheese bread was awesome. The tomato soup was of the Gods and the "scones" were heavenly. I have never eaten at a Jakers before and wonder why. It is not cheap, but you get lots of food, the service was great and the price was reasonable for what you get. I am not sure how they make the soup, but I am going to find out. It had a great buttery flavor with chunks of tomato and just hit me right. The "scones" are not scones as you know them. I am attaching a picture. They are like little, semi-sweet donuts without holes. They are served with honey butter. Oh, and they are part of all the meals. I am going to be back. How is the meatloaf?? read more

We have been ordering from here for years, as well as eating in the restaurant. Demonstrable difference between the plate you are served in person and what was just delivered. Over the years, the chicken on the blackened chicken pasta has gotten smaller, over-cooked, and lacks "blackening". There is maybe 4 chunks of zucchini in this, maybe. 3 mushrooms. The Ahi Tuna appetizer continues to get smaller and smaller and this time the wasabi was even watered down with?? It was an odd color, too. Not good at all. We won't be ordering again. Oh, and where is the Alfredo? It used to be this was a great dish, now it is dry, the pasta is cheap, and just not good. Quality has gone down as prices went up. read more

So Jakers holds a special place in my heart. It's where my wife and I got engaged and, at the time, it was the only nice/fancy restaurant in town; therefore, we went there a lot. It always had amazing food. From the lobster bisque to the salmon, no matter what you ordered you knew it would be incredibly full of flavor. It was the place to be if you wanted top-notch cuisine. Now, all that was prior to COVID, prior to more restaurants coming to town, prior to the growth of Great Falls, and literally about a decade ago. Therefore, I know a lot has changed and evolved over the years. However, in that evolution, I believe that some of the dishes and their preparation have devolved. We had a group of 26 people for a special lunch party. The staff was very involved and attentive. They brought fresh rolls, or what they call scones, to the table prior to the meal. All seemed great until the entrees arrived. I and a few others ordered the almond chicken. The consensus was that although it appeared delicious and packed with flavor it was extremely bland and insipid. My wife's steak bites were drowned in a deluge of watery sauce and served with rock-hard slices of bread that even after soaking them in the sauce they remained tough and unenjoyable. The final, yet immediately resolved, issue was a hair in my friend's wrap. I'm not sure the tensile strength of this particular hair but it was so intertwined in the makings of the wrap that the hair was able to support the weight of the wrap while suspended. However, like I said they resolved the issue ASAP by removing it from the ticket and providing her a fresh wrap. Nevertheless, I believe there's a larger issue in the kitchen. It's with a heavy heart that I give fewer stars than I would like, but I can't deny our experience. Nevertheless, I would love to come back, have a better experience, and upgrade my review to five stars. I would not tell anyone to run for the hills or avoid this restaurant at all costs. I would just say that you'll probably walk away discussing how the cost does not match the quality and taste. read more

We arrived near closing time, but they still welcomed us into the bar and promptly took our orders for drinks and food. Since it was so late we didn't want a huge meal so we ordered some sides instead. Everything we had was very tasty. The lobster bisque is AMAZING! We each had a bowl. So delicious. This came with the tastiest rolls ever (+oyster crackers ) and just that would have been enough food. Just thought I needed some veggies so I also ordered a side of sauteed zucchini. It was well seasoned and lightly cooked. I would have preferred a softer bite, but it was still good. My friend also ordered a baked potato which was HUGE and generously covered in butter and sour cream. We each enjoyed a cocktail as well. I thought the drinks were well made and not overly priced. The service was great. The atmosphere was very enjoyable at the time we were there. The decor was pleasant and the bathrooms were clean. All in all a great evening out. read more

Great food, friendly people , good entertainment and very clean. I have Parmesan walleye that was awesome.

They have good food but lately the service has been slower. They also got rid of their French onion soup Love getting their soup and salad for lunch but I recommend not going if you are on a time limit. read more

The ribeye steak was great and the staff was awesome. I will most definitely be coming back her again next time.

Came in last night with a group of 11. Had reservations, were seated immediately. Water and menus came quickly, and shortly after, drink orders were taken. Colleen, our waitperson, was on the ball in asking about one or separate checks (we were separate). Drinks arrived in a reasonable time and orders were taken. Meals arrived in a reasonable time although parts of one order trickled in at the end. Not uncommon for a larger group. Not a lot of discussion about dinner but I do have to say that I was pleased with my Thai noodle salad with ahi. They might have done better with glass noodles rather that the ramen-ish ones they served but the ahi was seared and pepper-crusted to perfection. And the dressing had a great balance of sweet and spice. A bit of a generic location but no reason to avoid it if we're back this way. read more

If you can afford a 100 meal for two than this place is an excellent choice for a date night! Best steaks my husband and I have had in a restaurant, anywhere. So flavorful and tender and cooked exactly as we ordered. Our server was personable and very attentive creating a very relaxing and enjoyable dinner. Highly recommend just be prepared for an expensive meal. read more

Still a great lunch with good service, good food, and a good beer selection. Our latest meal had to include Dragon tails... one of my all-time favorite apps. The serving size has decreased over the years, but the quality is still spot on. Ask for the Wasabi-Soy dip. Dragons love it. We also ate a Pepperoni Flat Bread. It was also good and rounded out our lunch perfectly. I still recommend sitting in the bar for lunch. The booths are comfortable, the service warm, and the beer only a few steps away. read more

The people were so nice and accommodation, service was excellent and the place was nice and clean. The food was ok, nothing to brag about. So if you want a decent lunch or dinner, it's a little pricey but the food was alright. read more

My Fiancé and I went to enjoy a night out. He loves fish, and he ordered the parmesean crusted walleye. It was raw, he doesn't see the best and didn't notice right away and ate two bites. I looked over at his plate and noticed right away, I panicked and told him to stop eating it was raw! So he opened it up and this is what we saw! Called waitress over and she tried to yank the plate away from him before I could get a photo. But I did anyways. We were both very disappointed and concerned since he had a couple bites before I brought this to his attention. This was replaced however, we truly are left feeling this was not handled appropriately. My Fiance was sick after eating here, but still of course had to go to work the next day with lots of bathroom breaks. read more

Jakers Bar and Grill - RAW Parmesean Crusted Walleye - Bars Near Me - Great Falls, Montana

We went to Jaker's to celebrate our 45th anniversary; it was easily the worst decision we could've made. Hubby ordered fish & chips: The fries were almost raw & very mushy. I ordered a mere appetizer of dragon tails--supposedly chicken--but these were so hot & spicy with cayenne that I couldn't stomach them and had them put in a take-home tray. They also probably came from a very old & tough hen. We will never EVER eat @ Jakers again; what an enormous disappointment! Next time it's Borries or bust. read more
