Jake's Grill & Oyster House in Burlington

Great food. Great service.

We went here tonight for an early dinner and it was fantastic. The coconut shrimps were an amazing appetizer, meals were delishious, the desserts were perfection, service was excellent, and in a warm and cozy atmosphere...well definitely be back 10/10!! Highly recommend

Really special place, staff are personable and memorable in a good way. Amazing decorations and atmosphere.

Good food with reasonable price.

Love it here!!!

Oyster night for the family. Had fun, staff was great food was good. Sad I did not take pictures of the great oysters Lol Food

One of our favourite all time places. Would love to be there daily if I had it my way. Maybe they ll hire me : ) Love you Jake s Restaurant Food : 5/5

Mark at the bar is incredible! We had a reservation at a table but got there early so we sat at the bar. We decided to forgo our reservation and sit and spend our evening with this amazing gentlemen. Im celiac and he went above and beyond to let me know what I could and couldnt have and made sure my entree was safe! Weve been here a bunch of times but this by far was our best experience. Not only the staff but the food was phenomenal. Plus it was our anniversary and he made sure to bring us a Gluten free treat as a congratulations This place feels like home. Thank you Mark and staff for the experience Dietary restrictions: Quite a few gluten free options. The staff is more than accommodating and knowledgeable of celiac and was able to provide detailed info about their ingredients and frying methods

Oysters are sooooo good!!!

Food

Amazing place

Worth every penny. The food was absolutely delicious. We had the brisket tacos, shrimp tacos for main and Korean beef bites for appetizer and all three were amazing. Server was quite pleasant and responsive. Saturday night was definitely fully booked and we sat at the bar which was great too.

I had an amazing dinner tonight, Such a quaint atmosphere and delicious food! Marcie was an amazing server and I will definitely be back again :)

Never disappoints for quality of food and services. We had haddock and chips and lobster grilled cheese. The brunch menu is a must try

If you love fresh oysters this is the place fresh and nicely served with all the sauces .If you do go hit happy hour there menu is good with specials on wine and food .. Also a great location if your on your way to falls or Toronto great stop very family oriented .. I would highly recommend

We tried the Weekend Brunch Menu, it was fresh seafood and delicious . We re happy eating there. Will come again.

Great place although little bit price aaalmost 50bucks after tax and tips for a pasta plate

Had lunch at Jakes. Excellent fish tacos. Friendly bartender but regulars at the bar a little salty as I was a new face. Lol

Always a nice dinner, Oysters and Halibut. Its best not to sit in the bar area for date night.

Had some top notch cravings but not everyone can handle them........ Jakes hit it out of the park!!!!! Escargot, calamari and Alaskan King Crab Legs! Well-done, will be back sooner than later! Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramp, only two handicap spots which was a little disappointing. Main floor restaurant accessible.

PHENOMENAL, food & service was 10/10. Mala was our server, and she made our night! We will definitely be back! One of our new favourites! Food : 5/5

Great seafood we enjoyed our time

We recently tried Jakes again after a hiatus of about 15 years. People seem to love it. Ok service. No side plate or wet naps offered for the mussels. My friend had to awkwardly eat them out of the pot. Three were closed. 3 out of 4 of us did not enjoy our food at all. Overcooked and/or tasteless. All of it. The 4th person had chowder which he liked. I stepped on something getting into our booth. My foot slipped out from under me. My shoe ended up coated in a mixture of thick black grease, dust and hair. If Id known what I slipped on (years of grime) I would not have eaten there. I do not like knocking a Burlington family run institution. But this was a total waste of money. We will never return.

Jake s Oyster House was a highlight of the Inaugural Halton Police Foundation Gala. Mack was not only professional and friendly, but he also maintained excellent communication throughout the event. With over 600 attendees, Jake s Oyster House effectively operated two oyster stations, ensuring that guests were well served. Mack and his team demonstrated impressive flexibility and self-sufficiency, requiring no assistance as they smoothly managed the service. They arrived on time, and the guests thoroughly enjoyed the delicious oysters, making for a memorable experience.

The food here is absolutely amazing!

Deliscious! Lobster roll with lots of meat, caesar salad with housemade dressing and tasty blackberry gin smash! Great meal! Highly recommend

Loving the food here so much

Excellent location for all kinds of occasions. I always go with the ribs. They never disappoint.

Solid seafood offerings.

Really great food at fair prices. Service is always knowledgeable and friendly, never missed a beat. Great desserts as well. Muscles are great and I can t get enough of their seafood linguine.

The seafood tower tasted fresh. I enjoyed the oysters, scallops and tuna. Mahi mahi taco was ok. It wasn t bad. Escargot was really good. I would order again.

A little pricey but food and service is great

Great food! Highly recommend

Mussels in white wine were perfect. Added BBQ shrimp to my Cajun Chicken, excellent! Portions are so big took home lunch.

The food is excellent. The freshness of the oysters is more than in demand! Professional and impeccable service adds oomph to our dinner! The atmosphere is intimate and makes customers happy! With an affordable price and generous dishes, we loved it!

The only reservation we could make was 815pm. So we are somewhere and came for oysters and mussels. The oysters were very fresh. Best oyster place in Burlington for sure.

Great place! First time visiting yesterday for my birthday and the good was quite good. Our server, Lorraine, was excellent. always checking on us to see how we were enjoying the good and if we needed more drinks or anything. Excellent service! The calamari are out of this world great. Best Ive ever had. My wife was stunned by the seasoning and how light the batter was. Definitely going back!

Food was good. We had Ribs, shrimp and scallop and classic Benny crepes. Very cute decor and great service. A bit on the pricey side but great taste.

Always great food and outstanding service. Oysters are the best btw

We stopped by for a late lunch and sat on the patio. There s lots of indoor and outdoor seating. We didn t have a reso but were able to walk in with no wait. The menu is a bit pricier than we were expecting. I thought the seafood was good quality but the overall atmosphere and location I don t think is worth the price. The patio overlooks the building next door and the parking lot plus all the car dealerships around. Service was also a bit slow and we had to walk up to the bar and ask to pay because no one had come to the patio in so long. Based on the overall experience, I wouldn t be back but the food itself was good.

Dietary restrictions: They were able to make the lobster roll dairy- free. Recommended dishes

Yayaya triple 5. Stopped in for a quick bite before an appointment. Got the Korean steak bites. Silly I know. It was recommended because I made the request for something quick and small. Service was top notch, they didnt treat me hastily or ignore me once the order went in. The flavour is something to remember. They hit the right spice level and the crust around the bikes was even and crisp. For my next visit Ill make sure to have enough time for their seafood because damn it looked like a good menu.

Food is delicious and really enjoyed oyster bar.

Like always, Jakes never lets you down. It doesnt matter if youre going there for lunch or dinner. The food and service are second to none. Cheers to the staff. Well done.

Love the food but service at the bar was not good last time

The food here is great! The service is good and the general atmosphere is nice. If you like seafood youll like this place. Pricing is reasonable for the food quality, and the kids meals are pretty good too.

Lobster roll and seafood chowder are top notch!

Ive been here multiple times and the food is consistently delicious The atmosphere, service, and quality of food make this place one of my favorite spots!

Dine-in several times now, brunch, dinner Food quality is fantastic and stable. No surprise! We tried lobster linguine yesterday, which was super delicious and well balanced.

I loved the decor and the ambiance. Fish Taco was way beyond my expectations.

Lovely restaurant with generous portions and a wonderful, nautical atmosphere.

Its a great place for a good meal

Have not been here in 25 years and saw an ad on Facebook, said why not. The Raw and BBQ oysters were amazing, and the lobster with shrimp was very good. Overall, excellent experience and coming back soon.

Food was delicious...service not so much. Waitress was MIA most of the night! Vegetarian options: Decent selection...

Really unique place! The lobster linguini was amazing and their seafood tower was delicious! Our server was super helpful and friendly. Will definitely return!

Family celebration, 6 adults, 5 children under 12 yo. Our servers Catherine and Sarah were excellent, they were so good with the children as well. Food selection, something for every age, the children always find something they love. Not to mention dessert. We travel in Europe extensively so seafood is our favourite, Jakes fits the bill when we are home. Our seafood go to place.

The food is amazing at this place. Our favourite is Salmon nachos . But I should say the management can do a better job with seating the guest and reservations. Also more experienced bartenders & hostesses may upgrade the service to the perfect level.

The food here is awesome! I highly recommend the clam chowder!!! Bacon wrapped scallops were great to. Salads were very fresh.

Their muceles are to die with the spicy tomato sauce like omg good, but over all it a great oyster bar to check out and just stop in and try out their selection of sea food

One of the better more upscale bar restaurants in Burlington.

Food was amazing. Oysters were fresh and the escargot was buttery! A must visit restaurant.

This is probably one of my faves. I love getting oysters, theres several different sauces in all levels of spice and heat. Fish and chips are great, even when they modify them to be gf. The atmosphere is great! I love the decor, nothing like it. Keeps kids interested as well. Drinks were good, had a paloma and my mom had the Caesar with the lobster claw, its huge. I had crème brûlée for dessert, and it was delicious, unfortunately a small portion. Someone with me had the sticky toffee, and that piece was definitely big, and apparently also delicious. Always best to make reservations, as its usually quite busy. Dietary restrictions: Able to help with gluten free patrons Kid-friendliness: They have their own menu. Wheelchair accessibility: Theres parking and a ramp available, but seating would be limited as theres stairs (3) to other areas. Fortunately the bathroom isnt inaccessible.

Always the best dinner around. Oysters are top tier, so so fresh. Great food. Swordfish is my favourite! And Sofia is the best server, super cool.

Popular seafood restaurant in Burlington. Food was good, some of the items on the seafood tower didn t taste very fresh or as good as other places I ve been to. Food came all at one time which was a bit weird, expected the seafood tower to come first. Also the server forgot a dish I ordered.

Consistently excellent Service is as amazing as the food Mussels. Tuna Poke sushi Nachos Unique and fabulous 5 stars

Great food, service, and atmosphere. Highly recommend this place

Best oysters

This is our favorite spot for our date night of oysters & seafood chowder - amazing. Service ended up being terrible as they kept forgetting our table. :( Food

Mmmmm lobster roll! It was overflowing with delicious lobster. Gotta unhinge your jaw to take a bite. Highly recommend!

Triple check your reservations. Nothing worse then getting there and they look at you like deer in the headlights wondering what to do with you. Then they blame you instead of the stupid idiot who took the reservation, when you complain they kick you out instead of taking the blame and doing all they could do to fix the situation instead of escalating it,

The owner, Jamie is a great guy. He gave me some amazing Cajun Spice Rub as an odd request that I had but that was very kind of him. Worked amazing on the wild salmon I was grilling and tasted like magic on the baked sweet potato as well. Would be great if they had a happy hour and also maybe some local ambers on tap (like Caledon Hills or Toronto Amber) but thats ok, maybe next time. Robbie is a great bartender and was super friendly. And the Oysters (even though pricey) were delicious. Will definitely come back here again in the future.

Best seafood spot in the area period! Always consistent and always fresh delicious seafood

First time here and it was great, good service great food! I would definitely recommend this place!

Best restaurant in Burlington area.

We had a wonderful lunch at Jakes. The oysters and fish and chips were excellent.

On vacation with family. Stumbled across this great place. Super service. Service

Swas seated and waited almost 10 minutes nobody came to ask if I wanted a drink never even brought me water. When I got up to leave and was halfway out only then did somebody ask me if everything was alright. Poor service Food

A fantastic spot for seafood and especially oysters. The location is definitely odd but if it works it works. Got a super cool vibe with nets, old ship models and oyster and sea shell light fixtures. Tons of seating and the food always hits

Servers are the best. Food is phenomenal Food

The servers were not professional

Absolutely awesome salmon on their outdoor smoke grill

Hadnt been to Jakes in years. Glad we went back. Food was excellent. Service great, considering they were very busy.

Tremendous place, excellent atmosphere, very good food, excellent beers

The food was delicious and the oysters so yummy!!!

We ordered take out for a company lunch, across the street from Jakes, we were dealing with Mac, from the start very friendly and accommodating took our order over the phone. After pick up, and coming back we noticed a few items where missing. After a quick call back, Mac, corrected it and insisted on bringing the additional items that were missed to us. I have never experienced this level of customer service and was shocked when he even offered to drive it over. It is always the small things that we remember, 6 star service to Mac! and 6 stars to the food! we all enjoyed it! We will see you again soon!

Amazing seafood restaurant. Such fresh oysters and the fish was fantastic. Cant wait to go back and try more things on the menu.

Usually eat at the bar due to business, travel, bartenders and servers are very professional and attentive. Quality of food is worth the price

Great place for amazing quality seafood so far from shore. Very good service and cozy setting.

Try the seafood chiwder. Delicious!

Beautiful interior, delicious seafood, can be noisy on a busy night, but reminds me of home, nova scotia

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Most recent visit, May 2024, was somewhat disappointing. We will be back, though. Food : 3/5

Had the most delicious and amazing meals last night with a good friend. Service was impeccable and all staff super friendly. I had the salmon entree and my friend had the trout. Sooooo good ! Will be back for sure and will definitely become a regular spot. I highly recommend. You will not be disappointed.

Come here quite often. Really good food, though Im not much of a seafood expert myself. Only issue I have is the service is good, but a bit too long, though I get its for the high quality food. Nice atmosphere that just screams come taste the delicacies of the ocean. Incredible fish and chips. 4/5.

This was our second visit there, and it certainly did not meet the expectations that the first visit laid out. We came in early, just after 5:00 p.m. hoping that we would beat the rush. It was not that busy when we first arrived, however it took some time who place our order, and the nearly 50 min to get our dinners, which coincidentally arrived before our appetizer. We were given an apology and an explanation that it hadnt been cooked properly, but it would have been nice if somebody had come over before the food arrived. No discount offered or coupon for future visits. Was a little disappointing. Food was delicious, we had the lobster roll and shrimp tacos.

Yummy!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Jake s Oyster House in Burlington, and I must say, the highlight of my evening was undoubtedly the exceptional service provided by all and the bartender. This individual is nothing short of amazing! From the moment I sat down at the bar, I was greeted with a warm smile and a welcoming demeanor. The bartender s expertise and passion for their craft were immediately evident. What truly sets this bartender apart, however, is their genuine hospitality and attentiveness. They took the time to engage in friendly conversation without ever being intrusive. If youre in Burlington and looking for a great food and an unforgettable experience, Jake s is a must-see!

Really great place. Drove by it for years never noticed it. It is a bit hidden off the main road. Good food. Atmosphere was unique. Felt like a beach restaurant in Florida. Food

First time to this restaurant and I am impressed. Food was fabulous service was great. I will definitely be a returning customer well done Jakes!!

Excellent food. Good variety of dishes. Drinks and wine are on the expensive side. Overall a great choice for a good meal.

Came here with my girlfriend for my 60th birthday dinner, I had the pickerel and my friend had the trout, both dishes were amazing. Service was on point the the atmosphere was perfect.

Excellent and fresh food and friendly team members! My favourite item is the fish and chips, delicious!

Went for an anniversary date and absolutely loved it. The oysters were so good and overall loved the food and atmosphere as well. Definitely will go again.

Some of the best places are hiding in plain sight. Make sure you reserve your table on busy nights, a great dining experience. We will be back on the regular. No doubt about it.

Weve been visiting Jakes for a number of years now. We live in Toronto so its only a few times per year that we go. Jakes never disappoints. The food and service are always great. Plenty of free parking is a bonus. It is usually fairly busy. Weve always gotten a table without a reservation but my wife and I eat at odd hours, like brunch or a late lunch/early dinner, which may explain our luck getting a table. The oysters are what first brought us to Jakes. My wife is from the east coast and loves these things. Then with so many seafood entres, she gets her fill. Im take it or leave it for fish, so its nice they have land lovers food too. Beef dip, the burger and some chicken mains satisfy me. Its worth the drive to Burlington, even with how that QEW can be some days.

We ve been here several times and the food is always on point. The service is always great as well! Definitely recommend.

Not very pleasant experience. The waitress refused to give us a bigger table even after I told her this small table will not be able to fit our food. As seen in picture, plates are squeezed to the very edge of the table, and my husband is not able to reach the calamari on my side. Besides the water came 15 mins after we sat down, it was Monday 6pm, not super busy. Right, almost $300 does not deserve a proper table.

My go-to spot for seafood! The menu offers a fantastic variety of seafood options. The staff here is exceptionally friendly and always ensures a great dining experience. They also have a nice selection of drinks that perfectly complements the food. I highly recommend trying their Lobster Linguine Athenia and their Steamed Mussels. Or some comforting Haddock & Chips should hit the spot!

Meh

Dad got a little treat this Father s Day: in addition to fantastic service and food, he received some swag as well! Great place for seafood! Dietary restrictions: Dairy-free options available

Best place for seafood !!

Absolutely unreal experience. My girlfriend and I stumbled upon this local gem while we were craving some oysters. We d usually make the trip out to Toronto to Rodney s but wanted to avoid the hassle of driving down from Oakville today. That led us to Jake s. A pretty unassuming spot from the outside, Jake s has been open for about 38 years (according to our server, Scott). We rolled up at about 6pm on a Sunday and to our surprise the restaurant was full (a sign of what was to come). The hostesses were great and got us a table for 7:15. When we finally were seated, we had the pleasure of being served by Scott. He offered fantastic service and recommendations throughout! The food, wow. This might be the best seafood spot in the GTA. Ratings on the dishes we got below: Oysters (dozen): 10/10. Their house sauces were to die for. Wasn t a major fan of the chutney but the scotch bonnet with the champagne mignonette was out of this world. Heat warning though. Scallops, escargot style: 10/10, absolutely delicious and a unique twist on what you normally see with scallops. Calamari: 10/10, tender and perfectly cooked. A light crunch from the breading with a soft finish and perfectly cooked calamari. Linguini: 7/10, nothing special here but the seafood was cooked perfectly Crème Brûlée: 8/10, good crust, solid flavour. Sticky toffee pudding: 100000/10, if you don t get this when you go you are doing yourself a disservice. Thank you for the wonderful experience, team!

Music Too loud for conversations.

Place is unbelievable. Everytime i leave this place im so happy knowing that theyre are still people out here who actually care about bringing you the best tasting food and experience and give the most genuine vibes ,which i dont see much of anywhere else.. place is top notch.. shout out to Mark behind the bar who will lead you in the right direction if you are ever in need of a push. Standing ovation to everyone involved

My friend and I came here for the first time for lunch. Our server, a very nice lady for table 50, was super friendly and professional, who deserves 10 stars for her excellence in service. We ordered the daily mushroom soup, classic chowder and calamari, all of which tasted wonderfully with very reasonable price. Lobster rolls were delicious but a bit overpriced considering the quantity. Seafood linguine tasted well, just a bit too salty for me. The nice dessert with sparkle for my birthday was very nice. Overall, we had a wonderful experience here and would recommend this restaurant! Note that a reservation is necessary as they were super busy and fully booked for Thursday lunch time! Vegetarian options: Many options on their menu Dietary restrictions: Many options on their menu Kid-friendliness: Yes

Honestly if you want great service AMAZING food and a very good ambiance . You need to try this place. everything is checked off the list. Hard to find a place this good these days. Highly recommend!!!!

Amazing seafood ! Best lobster roll ever ! Crab cakes, fish and chips was so good too. Service was really good as well . My only issue was this really loud waiter who kept coming to our table and wanting to clear our plates every 5 mins even though we said we re ok and will ask when we re done. we were still having our drinks and munching on fries. It had only been an hour since we sat down. Other than that everything was great

Was very happy eating here, the service is great and the food even better. I never tried oysters before coming here and Im glad I did, they were great. Highly recommend this place to seafood lovers.

garbage.Do not waste your time if I could rate it.A 0 I would rate it.A 0 manager is very rude.Waiters where terrible food was garbage Do not go, do not waste your time. Are money

I recommend it for lovers of seafood and a cool atmosphere!)

I really enjoy eating here. Waiters are very kind and they are always serving with a smile. The food is absolutely perfect. This is my go-to place for work lunches.

Delicious seafood chowder, service with a smile and right conversation levels. Enjoyed the snakebite Salmon

Excellent as always!

Nothing beats the flavour of food cooked over a fire! And the cocktails are amazing too. Always guaranteed a good meal, and the atmosphere and service is consistently good.

Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu that includes dessert Food

Amazing mussels with a delicious , complex sauce. Not overcooked. Served with crunchy bread with soft centre. Wonderful service. Lighting just a tiny bit too dark. Highl recommended. Fair price

Worst experience possible. My boyfriend and I were in the parking lot waiting to see if our friend and his mother were there yet to celebrate her birthday. We parked out front I was doing my makeup and my bf dozed off in the car as he worked nights previously. I then laid back and also closed my eyes while we waited. All of a sudden we were met with a man asking if we were okay or had been drinking. We explained not at all we were just tired and waiting for our friends. Even showed the bouquet of flowers we had bought as a gift. The First Gentlemen was understanding and going to let us go in and eat. Another man then came out of the restaurant who seemed intoxicated himself named Jamie who acted like he worked there or was possibly part owner. He accused us that we shouldn t have been driving. When he himself was clearly under the influence. We soon found out he was at the bar drinking tequila all afternoon. We then said there was no issues and if they wanted the cops to come we welcomed it fully. Jamie then told us we weren t even allowed to come to the restaurant to meet our friend and his mother. It was an extremely weird experience for 3:30pm in the afternoon. Jaime then told us to leave and that we couldn t eat at their restaurant. (I thought we were to drunk to drive????). We then left our poor friend and his mother to eat without us. My boyfriend is a veteran and will take power naps when he can due to his job and medication that he s on but none the less was perfectly capable of driving. We also were told by other patrons at the bar that Jamie drove home himself after drinking all day. Awful experience. Do not come if you don t want to be treated with respect like a human being.

I was excited to try Jakes especially after reading the menu and reviews. It certainly didnt disappoint as the food, service and atmosphere where all great. I had the Maui Maui fish tacos which reminded me of the ones I had down south.. delicious! Others with me had shrimp tacos, salad, and oysters, which they all loved. I cant wait to return to try some of the other food options.

The decor is pretty cool, very unique. Service was good. Food was fantastic. We ordered the crab cakes, fish N Chips, and lobster roll with lobster brisque, all was excellent. I highly recommend!

Outstanding service Food was really good Our server was phenomenal Service : 5/5

Amazing food and drinks!!! First time here

It was a great experience. Food was delicious, I ordered the yellow perch fish and chips and the batter was so light, never separated from the meat, and was juicy and delicious. We also ordered the seafood tower Le royale, lobster pasta, tuna poke, and mussels. Everything was great. Service staff were all very friendly and professional. Will return!

Hadn t been here in several yrs and just went last night for the second time WOW!! First of all, the service is wonderful. Lorraine was our server and she was friendly, attentive and efficient! The fish and chips was the best we ever had!! I couldn t even finish mine! Last time I had the lobster roll and OMG, it was better than we ve had in the East Coast! Tons of big lobster chunks and the bun is to die for! The seafood chowder is a must! So so yummy! This is our new go-to place now. So many restaurants have gone downhill with service and food and prices have gone up. Jake s is very reasonable priced for what you get and service and atmosphere is top notch! Thanks guys and see you soon :)

Excellent dishes served nice and hot. Wonderful sauce in the mussels with garlic toast. Tum. Definitely impressed, in fact going again this Sunday.

We had a great first experience here. The food was excellent. The oysters were nicely shucked. The presentation and flavours of oyster condiments was quite brilliant. Service was excellent from the moment we arrived - without a reservation. I advise not making this mistake. Its a fairly large place but deservedly popular. My kids were happy with the kids menu options and portion sizes. I also appreciated the diverse whisky and beer selection. Its always nice and all too rare to see Lagavulin 16, thanks for that! My only nit-pick is that the cappuccino lacked flavour. Ill be sure to sort that out next time, over more oysters, crab, and Lagavulin. Great job, Jakes! Kid-friendliness: Great kids menu options, with large portions.

One of the best seafood places I have ever dined in? then and that says a lot I come from Africa coast the lobster, the chicken the mussel The pasta I cannot stress this place enough I ve been searching for a seafood place for so long, and I cannot believe I didn t know about this place, The only disadvantage Is that I am 33 and this place has been open for 84 I cannot wait to come back just so I can taste the sweet savoury mussel And tomato sauce Hats off to the chef staff

Very dissapointed. We took the kids fish and chips and cheeseburger, ribs and steamed mussels with spicy tomato sauce. Pros: the portions are pretty big and the service (as much as it was, because we ordered to take-out) was great. The fish was good (a little too sweet for my taste, but this is on me). Cons: the ribs were dry (seemed to have been made a day before and reheated, sauced and served). The fries were almost burnt, but not cooked all the way. I didnt get any kind of slaw, only a spoon of beans. The mussels were too spicy and salty, so spicy that we could barely feel the taste of mussels. Overall not a good experience and the chances for us to go there again are close to 0.

This place serves fantastic sea food. I ordered the Tuna Tatatki app and was blown away at the freshness of the Tuna. The muscles are flavourful and you get a very generous portion with 2 thick cut slices of grilled bread. The shrimp they serve are the biggest i ve seen. Highly recommend to the seafood lovers out there.

Always a great meal and atmosphere at Jakes!

We love it here. We are regulars. Cant beat it.

We have been going to Jakes for over a decade now and I cant believe I never left a review but feel like I had to after our last visit for my birthday! The oysters are always the attraction here they really do it big with all the different types of hot sauces this is something we always ask whats on the bed when visit. You cant go wrong with anything on the menu. Wish they would add a warm lobster roll on the menu someday. Be sure to make reservations as this place gets filled up quickly during dinner hour.

Best Seafood place in Hamilton/Halton. Great place for business lunches or dinners.

Jakes has been my favorite seafood place for a long time. It never disappoints.

Their best dishes are the chowder, dynamite roll, lobster roll, fish tacos, everything is great!

The server was very friendly and quick. My lobster roll and oysters were both delicious. I had a very pleasant experience here.

I have to start with Sarah our server. I can t explain the level of service she provided. It had Four Seasons vibes, she was amazing! The food was delicious, the chef and Sarah together took care of my 7+ allergy restrictions, and celiac case. It was top notch. The menu was fun and I had plenty of options, Sarah even made sure I could try some of their sauces. I highly recommend you check it out. And the Pickerel dish it was to die for, and I had the modified version, I can t imagine how delicious it would be in its original state. Amazing! And the oysters, so fresh! Paired so nicely with their sauces. Thank you to the team at Jake s for making our evening awesome. We look forward to coming back. And how cool are those table lights! Chef kiss to the whole experience.

Top 5 Burlington restaurants in Burlington!!! Foods great!

One of my favorites, the food and service is predictably excellent! Parking: Plenty of parking, shares with a hotel. Food : 5/5 |

We love oysters, so my wife and I decided to try Jakes offerings. When we arrived Friday evening, the place was hopping. A wonderful venue which even when full is not overly noisy. The atmosphere was very seaside/ nautical, which we loved. The oyster selection was considerable with many offerings from PEI. While they are all the same breed ( called Malpeque), the waters they come from affect their taste. We chose Valley Pearls as we really like their flavour and we were delighted with our choice. For the main, I chose the Swordfish (espadon) special. Swordfish does not often show up on menus, so when it does, I go for it as I love the meatiness of the filet. It was beautifully cooked with a lovely flavour. I could not get enough of it. I could have ordered another. In fact, I believe it was the best I have had anywhere. My wife had the lobster tail which she quite enjoyed. We went on to crème brulée and sticky toffee cake for dessert, both of which were excellent. Jakes has a good selection of seafood compatible wines. I choose the Crawford Sauvignon Blanc. It was an excellent choice with our meal. Finally, I have to praise our server Michael , who was funny and irreverent. Given how busy it was, he never missed a beat. Our choices arrived in a timely manner, along some humorous observations from Michael. He definitely added to the evenings enjoyment. We will definitely return to Jakes and soon!

Excellent every time! Get the oysters!

Absolutely loved the dining experience. Really cool decor. Grilled oyster appetizer was OMG delish, snakebite salmon dish is amazing. Ill be back to try other dishes soon.

The seafood was perfect. Service was fast and food was timely.

Everything was AMAZING!!!!

Great food. We will go back

Always excellent food and service at Jakes! They accommodated us even though we were very early for our reservation. Wait staff is fun and fast! Food : 5/5

Fantastic food and service

Very fresh oysters.

They got the best oysters man!!

Found this on google and wanted to give this seafood restaurant a try! We went on a Wednesday evening and it was busy! I would suggest making a reservation to guarantee a table. The service was great from the host to our server. The food was good but not amazing. The baked oysters and calamari were tasty. The lobster roll was okay. There were chunks of lobster but I found this a little bland. The sandwich was on the small side considering it was $40 so I do not recommend this. The lobster linguine in tomato cream sauce was really good and probably my favorite dish. This was $45. I get that its seafood and pricier but the portion could have been more generous. The atmosphere is neat with cool trinkets but I found the lighting too dark. Overall, it was a good restaurant with fresh seafood and friendly service.

The BBQ oysters were amazing. More baked than bbq but fantastic..!!

My favorite seafood restaurant

Went for lunch and the service was great. Enjoyed the coastal atmosphere and decor. Finally tried the lobster roll it was a bit salty for me but very tasty and the bun was perfect. The beef dip was delicious. Would definitely go back again. Food
