Delicious Chili con Carne appetizer sprinkled with savory onions and cheese started our delightful meal which we followed with their amazing Barramundi fish on a bed of delicious wild rice, blackened asparagus and a side salad. YUMMY!!! read more

Wife and decided to search out new places for breakfast. We stumbled upon a winner, Jakes Eats in Mantua. The place packed and only one waitress. Even so she did a great job of taking of everyone in short order. I had the Corned Beef Hash with eggs and english muffin. The food was hot and tasty. My wife had the biscuit half with gravy. Again a good choice. My wife commented she like the dishes, Fiesta Ware made a couple hours away in Newell West Virginia. Thanks for buying American. We will be back. read more

Great little diner in a great little town! Breakfast is great, burgers are great and you'll love their pies!

Friendly, responsible prices , my burger was big and juicy lettuce, onion, pickle, and tomato with your choice of cheese. French fries adorn the plate was very good.. got there a little after lunch. I was served right away clean older building but very nice. read more

Amazing food it is well cooked and prepared. Service is great really nice people and are very nice and welcoming. They just remodeled the restaurant so the Ambiance is great read more

Decent food at a reasonable price with friendly owners. We're turning into regulars, and I'm addicted to their zucchini fries. It's a good go-to for a casual I-don't-wanna-cook kind of night. Only one complaint, but it's not enough to dock a star, IMO. The fries melt the styrofoam to-go boxes when they're fresh out of the fryer. I'd love different boxes or maybe a protective layer for the dishes with hot oil. read more

I would have given them a 5 but the prime rib looked like it got ran over a truck what a waste of 20.00 dollars. Don't order Prime rib not unless you go to Arnies in Ravenna Ohio read more

Great food and great service! We love the blacked salmon Caesar salads and wings too!

Wow another amazing find! Doing laundry up the road and find this place. We had some Hungarian dish with chicken and dumplings and it was delicious. The place is clean..the waitress was all alone handing the bar and tables and did great job. Highly recommend. read more

The fish and Mac and cheese special was good, coffee was tasty. My bf, however was less than satisfied. The gyro was kinda limp and floppy instead of crisp and firm, and.... It had CHEESE on it? Server was real nice and friendly read more

Jake's - two cars parked in a parking lot - American Near Me - Mantua, Ohio

Tried Jakes for the first time for the Fish fry they have on Friday during lent. All I can say is the chef must be scared to season his food because the French fries were wilted, soft and not a spec of seasoning or even salt. The Tartar sauce was , so so. The Fish was NOT seasoned and no crunch at all, it was simply BLAND, breaded, kind of like If you were feeding your 95 year old mother with no teeth and no taste. The cole slaw was outstanding, very good on that one item. Chef needs to season his food, nothing special here... price was fair for food. The service seemed very good, but JUST NO Taste! The only reason Im giving g them some credit is because the coleslaw and service.. fire the chef! read more

Lovely little diner, this is where we take people to eat when they visit- it's charming and the food is classic and satisfying

Jake's is the Cheers of Mantua. Everybody knows your name. The service is great and the food is really good. Great home style diner! I love their Clam Chowder! read more

Tried the Jake platter, and it had 5 small pieces of cubed ham, a few small pieces of sausage, and I didn't taste any bacon. The service was good, but this wasn't the first time I left disappointed. It is the last time though. read more

Cute hometown restaurant. Food is good. We enjoy going for breakfast. The staff is really nice and pricing is good! read more

Excellent food, very friendly staff. Lots of fun. The deserts are out of this world. read more

Great little food joint. The service was fast, the workers were friendly, the prices were unbeatable! Egg and cheese omelette with hash browns and toast was only $1.99 for kids! That alone made this place awesome! I ordered the western omelette and my wife ordered a pancake. The quality of the food was fine and it tasted good. Definitely better than any of the typical breakfast diner chains. Overall the place was fine. We were traveling through the area and found this to be the best place around where we are camping. read more

Nice place for a quick bite. Met owners and had a nice chat.Food was good had Jake burger

Always great food and good service !! Highly recipe d the grilled cheese !! Breakfast at its finest

Nice little hometown establishment. Went after mass on Sunday so it was understandably crowded. Parking was a challenge and the sloped lot could use some work. It didn't help that it was raining and I was wearing sandals. Staff was friendly. Food was decent. Only complain was the omelet my husband ordered and the mini Jake's plate I ordered could use more cheese. It was pretty sparse. Some seasoning on the Jake's plate would be a plus. Nice portions for the cost. Overall, a good experience and would go back again. read more

Traveling in our motor home. Googled "restaurants near me". Thought we'd give Jakes a try. So glad we did. Excellent food! Excellent service! Reasonably priced. We will definitely return, when we're in the area. Thank you, Jakes! read more

Great service and food. Very family friendly. Perfect small town restaurant with fresh made pies.

Just a few minutes off of I-80, Jake's is a great little place to stop for a bite to eat. I had the BBQ sandwich special with homemade chips and coleslaw. My husband had the patty melt with fries. Ended the meal with Maple Bourbon Praline ice cream... all delicious! Wonderful, friendly service. Highly recommend! read more

This is the worst service I've ever seen and I'm not joking. We asked the waiter if they have a good old fashioned and he said no. Then shrugged his shoulders. I would Recommend this restaurant to anyone that likes to eat coal. Do not listen to any other ratings, they are all a couple years old and not up to date. read more

Oh Jake's. Your biscuits & gravy is so awesome! I do not live in the area, nor even on this side of the country. I've been to many many diners across the country when craving a nice (un)healthy serving of country gravy to start the day right. Most times what I find out there is okay at best and dreadful at its worst. My own country gravy is awesome and I suck as a chef. So why do so many restaurants fail to make a good country gravy? Now in comes Jake's. They make an awesome country gravy that has that simple crumbled sausage and black pepper flavor combo. Seriously, it's the absolute best. They do it so well, and I always leave both incredibly satisfied and sad that I don't live closer. I've even tried other diners recommended as having great country gravy, such as Bob Evans and Cracker Barrel. Both pale in comparison to Jake's. Jake's raises the bar and should be considered the gold standard. To lightly touch on other things, I've always loved their service, atmosphere, coffee, and obviously the people of Mantua. When visiting the in-laws, I always stress the importance of visiting this place each time. Thanks Jake's for being so amazing. I'll see you all again soon. read more

Nice little hidden gem right here in the food district of Downtown Mantua, OH. Great people and food...Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner, give'em a try if you're in, around or traveling through the area. read more

Reminder of my childhood. I live in the area, but not in the town it's self. The town is extremely small and holds in it where I went to school. The town is deteriorating and doesn't have a lot of appeal. The business' are antiquated and remind you of a time long forgotten. The food it's self though is amazing, as all the food is in mantua. Going there just makes you sad. The town has so much potential, but everyone can't wait to leave. As for the restaurant itself. The food is fantastic. Especially at millers/jakes. I know several people who work here. The burgers are cooked just how you like them, the fish fry feels like they pulled it out of the river(not a knock on it) and the prime rib is amazing. Sadly this is only of the many small towns relics that are being swept up in today's modern society. read more

Probably some of the worst food I've ever had, very loud and uncomfortable environment, would not recommend

I haven't been to Jake's for quite sometime. I was quite happy this morning. The waitress approached me as soon as I selected my table, to take my drink order. I selected the prime rib special. I received my food and to my delight there were eggs and potatoes that came with the special. I normally do not select prime ribs due to tasting like fat; but, because this was grilled it was perfect, excellently cooked. The waitress refilled coffee! We will be coming back! read more

Love their breakfast especially the stuffed French toast. Skip knows how to make a egg white omelette with out cheese and grease. Love the atmosphere and the waitresses is always friendly. read more

We ate dinner here once and it was decent, but we won't be back. It's a small town restaurant, so there aren't too many vegetarian options, but we were pleasantly surprised that they had a black bean burger. The burger was alright, fried pickles were good, and the brownie dessert was hard. However, the staff were friendly and the atmosphere was nice. read more

Went there this morning for breakfast. On their menu saying Eggs Made anyway you like. I asked for poached eggs a d they don't serve it. UH?!?! Really. Why it says EGGS MADE ANYWAY YOU LIKE??? Also my mom ordered pancakes and said it was awful. Once we got home; she bolted to visit the porcelain shrine. Told me NEVER AGAIN GO BACK read more

Service was very good. Clam chowder was excellent. Perch batter was mild. Jakes platter was good especially the fries.

If you are looking for delicious homemade food with great service, then you will love Jake's in Mantua! Nightly all you can eat specials, or choose another amazing dish from the menu. You can enjoy a cocktail and relax there too. One of my favorite desserts is the peanut butter pie. Definitely worth the drive to Mantua. read more
