    We stopped in on our way through town. The food was awesome! The pancakes were the size of a pizza and staff were all super nice! We will definitely be back.

    the "small" Everything Omelette

    Our first visit to Jake's. Three adults for breakfast. Our son had an omelette with chorizo and other ingredients that I forget. He said it was spicier than he had anticipated (he likes spicy) and multiple times between mouthfuls he raved how much he liked it. My wife had scrambled eggs with bacon and 3-stack of buttermilk pancakes. I had the small version of the Everything omelette. Believe me, this "small" omelette is bigger than most large omelettes you will find elsewhere. It was fantastic. I also had bacon and one buttermilk pancake. The bacon is thick and perfectly cooked for us. Now, the pancakes, mind you, are big. Despite their size, they are light and delicious. The server was friendly and attentive, visiting us frequently with coffee, water and anything we needed. The time from order to table was surprisingly quick considering the number of people there. When we got seated initially, we immediately felt comfortable as we looked at the others in the room. We were confident we were among locals who are regulars at Jake's. We know why they would be regulars. I am hesitant to rate a restaurant with 5 stars because considering all the factors of serving a perfect meal with perfect service in a perfect setting and making a customer perfectly satisfied is virtually impossible. Jake's deserves a 5 from this family. We think you will agree.

    In what world does two sausage, four scrambled eggs, stuffed hash browns and two (big) pancakes cost $28.50? That was to-go. Without tip. Food is mid at best. Price is absolutely crazy. Go to McKay Cottage or better yet, cook at home.

    Simple. No frills kind of restaurant but I enjoyed every moment of it. The dishes are sized big portions so come hungry. We were recommend by some locals to check this place out since it's our first time in Bend, Oregon and I'm so glad we did. The chicken fired steak and eggs were delicious. Be warned when you get there to prepare to wait. No reservations and it's a first come first serve kind of diner.

    This is half of what I was served. Take a close look at the paucity of meat in the sandwich. Seems a crime to refer to it as a Reuben!

    When I moved to Bend in 1977, Jakes was already a legend in the community, for its large portions, friendly atmosphere, and good service. Fast forward 45 years... It had been a couple of years since we had eaten at Jake's, so I took my wife there for brunch this morning. How VERY disappointing! The service was lousy (I didn't even leave a tip, and we had to find our own take-home boxes after waiting for over 5 minutes trying to catch our waitress' eye - in vain). There was no offer of coffee refills, even though the dining room was not that busy and there were 4 servers . My "Reuben" sandwich was possibly the WORST I have EVER had - ANYwhere! It looked more like a sauerkraut sandwich on rye that someone had accidently spilled a few shreds of pastrami into. For my $16.10, I also got a double handful of tater tots. (It's a good, cheap way to fool the customer into thinking that they are getting their money's worth.) and a single dill pickle slice. Reubens are one of my favorite sandwiches, and in my 78 years on earth, I have grown accustomed to them actually containing pastrami slices - several pastrami slices. Not so with Jakes. There may have been a total of one ounce of meat in the entire sandwich. No slices, only shreds, outnumbered 3 to one by sauerkraut between the soggy slices of bread. According to Jakes, evidently the half-portion shown in the photo is worth $8.05, but certainly not to me! When we were checking out, the cashier (perhaps the owner) asked me if everything was ok. I told him that I was quite disappointed in the meat content of my Reuben. He acted as though he hadn't heard me, made no reply, and handed me my change without a thank you. We will NOT be returning1

    Camila enjoying a perfectly cooked piece of bacon. Jake's diner is super kid friendly as well.

    You can't order anything after 9 or 9:30 by phone on weekends. I'm not sure why they don't DoorDash and expand and make more money.

    7$ for one pancake. 7$ for small fry. Food was decent but was very overpriced. I'll be going to Denny's next time.

You can also customize your meal as needed. To order, you stand in line like at a food court counter, but in a fancy way. While we were there, the line stretched to the door most of the time but it moves fast. This is the time you use to choose your bottle of wine, pick food, and browse the pastries on display. There were several places to sit indoors and out after placing the order. The kids hade the garlic bites (fried balls of bread with garlic and cheese...looked like doughnut holes!) and a pizza. They can add pepperoni to a cheese pizza for the particular children in your life. My husband and I shared a Cobb salad, no croutons to make it gf (the lemon dill dressing was AMAZING! Actually, this whole salad was very good). We also intended to share the NY strip with chimichurri. However, we didn't read that it comes with bread and a side salad (great!) and roasted vegetables in romesco sauce (also great!). My husband is allergic to nuts and so he couldn't eat any. That is not a complaint...all on us! The menu is clearly marked. But be aware if you have a nut allergy to specify that you can't have the romesco sauce. Or let the order taker know, as they are informed on modifications and whatnot. So he ate the salad and done pizza. I ate most of the steak and veggies. Everything tasted really good. The steak was a bit gristly. But the chimichurri was great. My absolute favorite thing was the elote cake with tajin buttercream. It was not a sweet cake. But it was heavenly. I should have grabbed another piece before we left. It was creative and salty and delicious and I still want it two days later. Service was great. Food is brought out as it's ready, not all at once. And the side salad and bread is brought before the main dish. The people were friendly and helpful. This was a great place and I would definitely go back.

That's fine, places get busy quickly on a Sunday morning. Ended up waiting nearly an hour. It happens and sometimes it's worth it for good food. Our waitress was kind but clearly needed more help. Took her 15 minutes to get to our table. I asked her to level with me: How long would our food really take, because we have two antsy kids. She says 20 minutes. That's quick! Okay, we order. 10 minutes later, they say sorry we are out of orange juice. We did not order orange juice. They say they do have chocolate milk, which we did order. Glass (like, adult glass) comes for my kid and the guy explains they are out of chocolate milk so they mixed cold milk with hot cocoa powder. Looks chunky. He apologizes and says he needs to go across the street to get orange juice and chocolate milk so we can wait if we want. We don't. We just want to eat and leave. I order iced coffee (on the menu), they only have canned cold brew. Not ideal but fine. Burger (something I could honestly make at home) comes with dry breakfast potatoes. The flattest pancakes I've ever seen, complete with black grease marks from the griddle. I appreciate that the patio was nice and there was a water bowl for our dog but there were so many rookie mistakes that it felt like a restaurant that just opened last week and we're working out kinks. I'm actually annoyed at the 5-star reviews because there's no way they are at the same place we did.

A staff member said they would be back. It was a long while before anyone came back and seated us. They were not busy with diners yet. There were 6 tables. We were seated and ordered coffee. The coffee was good and the server kept the coffee and 1/2 and 1/2 coming. We both ordered the Smoked Salmon Eggs Bennie for $27 a plate. It took over an hour to get our food. Other folks got their food way more quickly. We are not sure what was up with our food and why it took over an hr for it to come out. We also did not have silverware and had to request it when the food came. For the prices of this place they need to get it together. This place is $$$ spendy for brunch. $27.00 for eggs Bennie and they were pretty stingy with the hollandaise sauce. It was nothing spectacular. The eggs Bennie were decent and the potatoes were tasty. They took 25% off of our meals for our wait and gave us free coffee. As a former server, there is no way I would I make chill diners who did not complain or get mad pay for 75% of their meals after they waited over an hour for their food. This experience does not make me want to come back.
