The Best! We live in Minnesota and come to Milwaukee about 4 or 5 times a year and Jakes is our first stop! I crave the Corned beef sandwiches!
Bad value. Going back to great resteraunts is like putting on comfortable jeans. Jakes is like putting on concrete slacks! What was is gone what's left is not worth seeing.
not quite what it used to be .....
this was once THE place for luscious corned beef. now, it is a shadow of itself. great corned beef, but the bread was dry, mustard non-existant and sandwiches half the size that they used to be
while the prices have doubled. i was saddened by my recent experience because i have been going there since the late '50's.
what made it worse, was that most of my office mates agreed.…
no one does it better. Simply put, the best flavor and tasting cornbeef and pastrami I have had out of seven different states. I would make a trip across town to get one sandwich, no lie cause I have done that. Anyone looking to have cornbeef with no comparison needs to go to Jakes. Go early, cause people will line up around the corner for the wait!…
Better than the best New York deli.. I'm a Milwaukee native, so of course I grew up loving Jakes. The corned beef is so tender that you can't even pick up a piece without it falling apart in your fingers. It is well worth the $6 you'll fork over for 1 sandwich. I been to a few New York delis, including the famed Carnegie Deli. Their corned beef may as well had been bologna compared to Jakes.…
