This is Jake's last week with the current owner. Retiring after many years of service. This has…read morebeen the place for family and friends to gather, eat, and visit for years. Whenever wè played a round of golf in Chatom we always went to Jakes to eat and discuss great shots from our round. The food was always point on whether fried catfish, hamburger steak, or the Thursday night special of AYCE spaghetti. The service was always excellent. Servers working together to keep glasses full and orders served in a timely manner. Being an LSU fan was another great reaso to dine at Jake's. LSU memorbilia on all the walls!!! Hopefully the new owner will continue the service, qualilty of food, and family atmosphere!!!

As I was traveling through Chatom Alabama this morning, this place caught my eye. I was hungry and…read moreneeded a large breakfast. This place did not disappoint. It's easily one of the best breakfasts I've had since I last visited the Pacific Northwest. Now, I love me a good omelette (and shame on me for not remembering the name of this one on the menu) this monster is loaded with bacon, sausage, ham, bell pepper, onion and cheddar cheese, expertly cooked. Everything was hot, fresh and mouthwateringly delicious! This omelette came with a choice of hash brown patties or grits on the side, and choice of toast or a freshly baked biscuit. I opted for the hash browns and the biscuit, both of which were fantastic! The best part of this whole thing was that, the omelette, the hash browns, the country gravy, the biscuit AND the coffee totaled $9.95 with sales tax!! And even better than that, the small town hospitality was genuine, warm and exceptionally friendly. They were so welcoming and pleasant, that I know I will return here again soon for the hospitality, the great food, and the awesome price! I'm looking forward to trying other items on their menu. If everything is as awesome as this breakfast was, I may have just found a gold mine! If you're passing through Chatom Alabama, and you're feeling hungry, this is the place to stop!

We had the spinach salad - not to be missed - and the Delmonico steak. Both were great. At brunch the spinach salad isn't on the menu but you can still order it.

After hearing rave reviews about Big Mike's Steakhouse in Thomasville, Alabama, we decided to see…read morewhat all the fuss was about. I was expecting a cozy, upscale steakhouse--white tablecloths, maybe a candle or two. Instead, we walked into what felt like a loud cousin of Buffalo Wild Wings... wearing a cowboy hat. The "ambiance" included paper table coverings (fancy!), Family Feud blaring from a kitchen that apparently doubles as a DJ booth, and music loud enough to make you reconsider your life choices. I swear I left with a steak and partial hearing loss. The food? Solid. I'd give it a 4. The steak was good, though I'm not sure if I enjoyed it or if my taste buds just surrendered to the chaos. The service was fine--friendly, but clearly used to the background noise. Atmosphere? A generous 2. It's the place to go if you want a decent steak and a sensory overload. But if you're looking for a quiet date night, maybe bring noise-canceling headphones... and a tablecloth of your own.

I wish the small town of waynesboro would support their local businesses as they always say... this place could be more booming if it were properly managed.

Surprisingly not bad for a steakhouse in Waynesboro, MS. We had lived here for a few years…read morepreviously and was surprised to see a nice restaurant like this open in town. The inside was very nice and staff was friendly. We had to wait a bit in the beginning because no one was in the front. We were seated eventually. The steaks we ordered were huge and fairly priced. We got the 16oz Stanford Ribeye which was $32 and comes with a salad and side of your choice. We got baked potato and asparagus. The house salad was small and simple which I loved. I hate it when restaurants serve a huge side salad. The asparagus were cooked good and seasoned well, and the baked potato was pretty good as well. Both of the steaks were very under-seasoned. We seasoned a lot with table salt and pepper but it was still a little bland. The meat was thick, so that's why it was lacking in seasoning. The au jus was okay and a little bland as well. Besides the flavor, the steaks were cooked perfectly and the fat pieces were nice and buttery with the meat.
