Husband and I did a day trip to Bainbridge and found ourselves hungry for some lunch when I found Jake's Pickup on Yelp. This eatery is located in a gas station, but don't let that deter you. Lots of parking outside and plenty of shaded picnic table seating. Inside, the eatery is located in the corner with a menu of to-order items. They also have a fridge stocked with grab and go items and a pastry window with cookies and scones. Order at the counter, then pay at the gas station till. We decided to order 2 OMC's off their menu. The friendly cashier suggested we add Jake's homemade hot sauce to our sandwiches, which turned out to be a beautiful addition to the sandwich. To my understanding, everything here is made from scratch by Jake, including the buns. The sandwich was super fresh and the hot sauce added a lovely smokiness. We also enjoyed a scone and a cookie, both of which were fresh but okay as sugar was the predominant flavor. I found myself wishing for some flaky sea salt on my cookie to balance the sweetness. All-in-all we will definitely be back on another Bainbridge visit to try more menu items.
I attended an event where Jake's Pickup Grab'nGo catered. The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly. I was glad to learn about this company because they definitely are a great option to consider if planning a casual event that's COVID-friendly. Jake's Pickup had different slider sandwiches and sides where each serving was in a small container, as well as bite-size cookies for dessert. Everything was grab and go as their name suggests, which was especially nice since people could just pick up what they wanted and is mindful of the pandemic, since no one had to use the same utensils to pick up their food, which is the case for most catered food. I had a turkey and roast beef slider with caprese salad and a mac salad. All of these items were tasty, but my favorite was the roast beef slider. It had arugula with a horseradish dressing and the roast beef was perfectly sliced and flavorful. The buns for the sliders were also soft, but held the goods together. I would definitely consider Jake's if planning to have a catered event where people can easily pick up their own food, as everything can be individually wrapped and easy for takeout. Glad to have discovered Jake's, and the next time I'm on Bainbridge Island, I'll have to find their restaurant and discover more of what they offer.
Sconuts. Remember that word. You need this yummy little love child of the demure scone and the devilish donut ASAP. Chocolate chip. Strawberry coconut. Mmmmmm Jake has made his heaven as a baker and chef in the back of a Chevron gas station, and in the process he's put a lustful little grin on a whole lot of surpised faces. Jake makes sandwiches packed with delicious fresh and local ingredients wrapped in homemade bread even anti-gluters enjoy. (He uses non-gmo ingredients and was overheard saying that makes his gluten less troublesome unless you actually have celiac.) His bread craft includes amazing rye, soft buttery burger buns, and the thickest white wheat ever. His sandwich ingredients range from burger to tuna melt and turkey and more breakfast sammies and cinnamon rolls are also on offer. Portions are big. This place is worth a visit. Highly recommend for casual but delicious food.
Cool little place. Lots of interesting snacks and the fact they have a such a good reputation for "truck stop gourmet" food is neat. I tried some of their hot sandwiches (Shrimp Po' Boy and something else I don't remember) back when they were first getting popular and wasn't super impressed - seemed a little greasy and unmemorable. Not bad but a bit on the pricy side for what it was. Tried the tuna salad sandwich more recently and wasn't really a fan - the usage of cottage cheese just doesn't really work for me, texture of the ahi tuna seemed less appealing than normal tuna, and the bread was super soggy and soaked through worse than any other "grab and go" sandwich I've had (that I can remember). Again, a little on the pricy side. Maybe I've just been trying the wrong things though. Seems like there has to be a good reason people rave about it so often, but as it stands I wouldn't say it's worth going out of your way for. As a truck stop/convenience store it's a pretty cool place, worth checking out if you're a local, but comparing it to restaurants/cafes nothing I've had there really screamed "gourmet".
This is defintiely good if you are a trucker and need some healthy options. But I can't imagine a trucker stopping here. They don't take orders anymore so becareful thinking you can. It's all cold fridged items but it's defintiely fresh. Hard to go wrong with a tuna sandwich, fancy that it's ahi. The salmon salad was quite good, it defintiely got a little mushy on the bottom but the salmon was smokey and great! Great first time experience but I wouldn't come.
I live on the island and I'm embarrassed that I forgot about this place! So so good. It is now a pick up grab and go with sides, sandwiches and soups. Today I brought home the deviled eggs and potato salad to supplement a green salad at home. Quality and taste blew me way. Love supporting a local business, especially when it's this good. Can't wait to try one of the soups soon.
This was a pleasant surprise as we headed to our campground in Bainbridge. I had an open face tuna melt and Don had a turkey sandwich. The potato salad was warm and melts in your mouth. My tuna sandwich was with jalapenos and so yummy. The macaroni salad filled with good ingredients but needed more flavor....maybe vinegar or mustard. Overall excellent and friendly,helpful service. My only complaint is it was a bit pricey.
Gas Station food, worth 5 stars? You bet your surprised foodie self. Let's make it clear, if it's your first time here, it's a gas station, it's a Chevon. It's hard to tell what to expect, the sign isn't clear what to expect. Be prepared, it's a convenience store, for the first 30 feet into the place. Walk past the shelves of typical gas station food, and you'll discover with your hungry self, a counter, a menu plastered to the wall, and happy workers, looking to serve, Scratch Made, "mostly" organic, local derived goodness. It was post lunch, the girl and I, came here looking for food, we were hungry, and why not gas station. What we saw, was a menu full of various eats, including a BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich, a Shrimp Po-Boy, a Tri-Powered burger (which was three meats), a turkey sandwich, and lastly a King Salmon sandwich. What to order, everything actually sounds amazing... I order a Shrimp Po-boy, and she orders the King Salmon Sandwich. After a few minutes, and noticing that there seemed to be a steady flow of people coming in and ordering, our food came out. Firstly, the owner mentions that they ran out of bread for the Po-boy, instead, offered up their homemade bun. So how was the food? The shrimp was fried perfectly, the lettuce was crisp, and the bun... It was excellent. It was light, tinge sweet and perfect for the fillings. She got a nice salmon fish sandwich... And while I didn't eat it, hearsay would describe it as pretty darn good. Also, we got their donut/scone thing... Which was a cross between the two texture wise... Baked, raisins and coated in sugar glaze. It was a small yet delicious bite, well made and delish. So should you go to a gas station for food... If they are like this one, then this is a stern YES.
Update: a year and a half later and this joint is still good. Jake is still on a roll. And we got in early enough to get some cinnamon rolls. Crunchy and soft, sweet and just right cinnamon layer, damn these islanders can bake! The breakfast egg sandwhiches with pulled pork are absurd...get here just as they open or they'll run out of the rolls. In the back of a chevron station is a deli counter that makes a fish sandwich that is undeniably comforting. Homemade bread, beautifully flavorful chive ranch, fresh tomatoes and lettuce all hugging a crispy fried piece of cod. It's solid, and tasty and i understand why some rank it as one of the best in the country...it's a sandwich many have imagined and very few get correct. My fiancé grew up in Bainbridge and considers it just good...I grew up in nyc and I've traveled the world and this is one of the best fish sandwiches I've had.

The greatest hidden gem on Bainbridge Island, Jake's is an absolute DELIGHT and a local FAVE. Here's the scoop - it's in the GAS STATION off of High School Rd (take a LEFT at the second light once you get off the ferry) and drive right into the gas station. Fill up gas n RUN inside to find Jake's walk-up window to order. His SCONENUTS are a MUST - do not walk out without taking home at least a half-dozen box. All of his baked goods are FIRE but the sconenuts are his signature specialty, so don't leave without giving them a try!!! IF you're lucky, catch a bite when the hot side (grill) is open as EVERYTHING is magical - but my hubby swears by Jake's breakfast pesto aioli sammy. Hubs was so addicted that he would swing by EVERY SATURDAY MORNING AFTER BASKETBALL to indulge in this sammy masterpiece. It became his beloved Saturday ritual! If you're lucky you'll get a chance to meet Jake or his wife as they're usually on property - always approachable and ready to chat, you won't find a more lovely couple! They truly represent that small-town, island vibe and you'll leave feeling like you're not a stranger, but definitely a "friend". IF you missed them and they're closed for the day, they have all their goodies packaged and stocked in the grab-n-go fridge next to the cash register. But be warned - inventory is limited as Jakes' place is a primo spot for the best yummies! Ruuuunnnn to Jakes! (And tell him MALIA sent ya!) read more

Jakes pickup is a hidden gem in the back of a gas station but DON'T LET THAT DETER YOU. I was suspicious as I walked up, because how good can gas station food really be? The answer is THAT GOOD. We ordered the Wild cod Po Boy and it was dank. Perfect amount of frying (not overly breaded at all, pretty light) and spice that was killing it with the pickle. You could tell the fish was fresh too. It was huge and I devoured it in about 6 minutes. Aside from the hot food (available Tuesday thru Saturday from 10:30-3:30) they have tons of yummy little bites available like protein nights, carrot cake, and flourless cookie dough bites). Plus Saturday's they have homemade cinnamon rolls that are unbelievable. read more

Currently staying in Bainbridge Island for the weekend for my best friend's wedding and I stumbled upon this absolute gem of an establishment. I'm picky for quality and always on the lookout for places with organic ingredients especially grass fed beef. I was pleasantly surprised to find such high quality food located inside a gas station! This burger is one of the best I've ever had, and easily the best I've had in the Seattle area. Their homemade buns are fantastic! Do yourself a favor and try this place out! Jake and his team are very friendly and welcoming. read more

Hands down best Reuben & Tuna Melt I have ever had. Food is fresh, desserts are amazing, people are so nice and friendly! Homemade everything and all local! The amount of heart they put into their food is incredible. Do not overlook this place, best spot around, worth a drive from Seattle if you aren't from Bainbridge. read more

My wife and I visit Bainbridge Island every year to see our in-laws. In all that time we have never been to Jake's and since we were staying at the hotel next door they offered to treat us, and boy was it a treat. The food is exceptional for any quality of restaurant, but for a gas stop place, A1!. I ordered the tri-power burger which was juicy and full of flavors. We also ordered the big block and side salads. Everything was delicious and worth the visit. If you go to Bainbridge, you have to have lunch at Jake's. read more

What can I say, I love Jakes! Not only do you get the best service but also food. Perfect to sit and have your lunch or even better to take out for a picnic! Come and try and I promise you will have one the best best lunches you've ever had! read more
Jakes is inside a gas station, dont be swayed by that though! There are a few tables in back and it's super clean. I had the shrimp po boy, way too much hotsauce and I can hold the heat, but this heat took away from the shrimp and it was simply waay too much sauce. I also purchased some hummus which was good, I've had more flavorful hummus. The food while made to order is expensive if you remember you are at a gas station, and if you have fast food prices in mind. Prices range from $8-$15 for your single entree. But remember this is fresh higher end deli food thats in a fast food environment, plus it's Banbridge Island, it may be a sandwich in Kitsap but it's Seattle prices! The Owner and other staff were super kind. To me it's always important to add whether I'd go back or not, unfortunately no. You may enjoy the fresh food though so let me know what you think! read more
