After months of hearing build-up from people on Jak's Grill in Issaquah, we thought we would finally give it a try. Very disappointing. First of all they wouldn't take a reservation which meant we had to wait 90 minutes for a table. The quality of steaks were mediocre at best and the potatoes were hard. The atmosphere was loud and...

While known for dinner, it really has the best weekend brunch. Wish they had it all week! Potato pancakes and Benedicts are delicious! Their off menu kid's breakfast is a great value for the price and my son loves it. We are there at least twice a month. Great place for drinks.

So I tried Jak's again. To start with, I dislike any restaurant that does not take reservations. I just love to wait in a crowded bar. However, I did enjoy their food the last several times that I visited so I agreed to go there. As usual, the promised wait of 30 minutes was low: it was 50 minutes. They... More

I've eaten here many times but never reviewed this restaurant until now. This is one of the only steak houses in the area that rates being at the top. They pride themselves on good steaks first of all and everything else revolves around that. The accompaniments to the meal are all top quality products prpared with tasty seasonings and always...

We have been here several times for dinner. It's always extremely busy. We normally have to wait about 15 to 20 minutes for a table. That is minimum. I realize they are very popular. It is unfortunate they don't take reservations. We really enjoy getting the mac & cheese to share. It has nice crunchy crumbles on top. We also... More

My spouse took me out for my birthday to Jak's, and as always a great dining experience. They have a great menu and wonderful tasty specials. You HAVE to arrive hungry, like don't eat most of the day, and maybe, just maybe you will be able to finish your meal! One of my favorite dining experiences in the Quah!

The service, food, drinks, and dessert are all fantastic at JaK's. The calamari appetizer is one of my favorite menu items anywhere. I order the prawn scampi every visit and am never disappointed. You get plenty of food including a salad, bread, veggie, and potato side with every entree. The food is awesome and the wait staff are very friendly... More

I have been to the Seattle and Bellevue expensive steak houses. They are good if you don't mind spending $$$$$ for a meal. JAKS offers the same quality meal for a third of the price. I won't go anywhere else for a great steak dinner.

JaK's is really the best place in Issaquah. The burgers are TO DIE FOR. We never get anything now but the burgers because they are so GD good. Of course we do get apps and they are wonderful as well. Mac n jacks on tap, too. Steaks are great as well and priced better than other steakhouses. A great restaurant.

The food is great; especially the steaks and burgers. The restaruant/bar has a great vibe and wait staff has always been friendly. It gets pretty busy and unfortunately they don't take reservations but you can always wait at the bar but be prepared to stand as seating is limited. And if you have food allergies they are always willing to... More
