Classic American diner fare with a personal touch.We stopped into Jake's for a late lunch with family. From the outside, it's very non-assuming. That is aside from the giant red Pegasus normally spotted in the Dallas skyline. Inside is another world. Americana road signs and car culture at its finest! What's better was we were hosted by Jake, the man himself. Yes, the restaurant's namesake is very much present and accounted for and an absolute delight. The servers were all friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was nostalgic yet comfortable. Old cars are part of the decor and ambiance. We ordered a variety of items off the menu. No complaints, and the food was great. Wait staff was very attentative and we all had a wonderful meal. Highly recommended.

The cafe is located in downtown of Waco and has its own parking lot for visitors. The unusual design of the cafe attracts visitors of different ages, it is interesting to visit both adults and children. For children, there is a small police car, which they can jump into for only 25 cents. The waiters were very friendly and served quickly, although there were a lot of people in the cafe. The food was very fresh and tasty, we were satisfied. If you are in Waco, then be sure to visit this cafe. I think you will be satisfied.

I've visited a few local restaurants in Waco, and all of them were really good, I went here for lunch to see if I could keep up that streak, and this restaurant surely didn't break it. Food Me and my parents got rather basic meals, but even then, they were all really good. I recommend trying their more interesting foods though, I'm sure those are even better. I got the BLT, my mom got the regular burger, and my dad got a chicken sandwich, all came with a side of fries, for my meal I added some watermelon along with my side of fries as well. Everything tasted really fresh and was packed with flavor. The buns were toasted perfectly along with the meat, and the mayo and condiments were really good as well. My watermelon was pretty good too, I was expecting an average watermelon, but the freshness and the nice balance of sweetness and flavor made it a little extra special. The only thing I didn't enjoy as much were the fries. They were a little mushy but had a home style taste. I appreciated that it wasn't loaded with salt too, but I would've liked more seasoning on it. It's not enough to bring it down a star because I enjoyed it overall, including the meals. Definitely recommend the food. Service The waiters were nice and consistently checked up on us to see how we liked the food or if we needed anything else. It wasn't anything special, but it was great overall. The food came out pretty quickly, and we spent about 30 minutes in the restaurant, great service overall and there weren't any major problems Atmosphere I think an atmosphere deserves five stars when it's not just good, but great, and special in a way. This place had so much old fashioned detail and there was a lot to look at while you sat down. Something else I thought was neat was that there were notes inside the crevices in the brick wall of the restaurant. They each had a message inside to read and was something I distracted myself with while I waited for my food. Another cool detail was that the food was served in hubcaps, you can't tell with my pictures, since it was covered in food and was shown on the bottom of the plate. Overall, really awesome atmosphere and it wasn't too cramped either. I was really satisfied with this place overall. The atmosphere and the food is what made this place stand out among the rest. I wanted to try their pies but ended up being too full. That's something else this place is known for apparently. Props to the owner for a great restaurant!

JTTH has well earned the 5-star rating. Ahead of the visit to the restaurant I looked at reviews in photos. Those did no justice to the actual experience when we arrived. The owner and staff were very accommodating of our large party and service was very good. Our group was there on a ride from DFW metro so we were extremely hungry and we didn’t care much about a wait, we were well into our convos, but that when the food did come out, it was fresh and delicious. We tried a bit of everything. The quiche, a sandwich with sweet potato fries, a very fresh salad and desserts. We really appreciate the accommodations while no reservations are required, the place was large enough to accommodate our group of riders. This place is absolutely interesting and cool on the inside. To the staff and owner - Thank you all for a great experience and food.

A bit of a wait but so well worth it. Our server told us they were short staffed but indeed did her absolute best and made sure we never needed to top our drinks off, made sure our meals were to our liking and did it all with a bright sincere and pleasant smile. Well enjoy this restaurant, the food, the fabulous eye candy set up and the incredible dessert. Highly recommended if you travel through Waco. You won’t be disappointed.

What a find! Never would have guessed we would find a place like this on our trip! I'm a car guy, atmosphere is 12 out of 10! I loved the 'plates' are actually hub caps!! Food was delicious... They didn't have T-shirt in my size...more 'are coming tomorrow'. I will order one online!

Cute place to stop at while in Waco! Service was great, wait wasn’t too long, clean, and the food was fresh and hot. The kids loved their grilled cheeses :) the truffle fries were wonderful as well.

Fun spot! Went with friends and family and had a hardy meal. Nice staff and clean restaurant.
