A refreshingly analog take on a local breakfast and lunch spot. Fantastic food, a great crowd, and personal service. The prices are very fair for the quality, and it's very refreshing to see a small business with quality this great.

Stopped in and had the Jake burger which was great. I sampled the daily soup special which was a smoked bacon potato soup. It was one the the best soups I have had. The owner was terrific. The owner seemed to know it was my first time because the place was Full of regulars so I stood out. Great small place off the beaten path.

The food always comes out so fast. I don't know how they do it, but they never burn or undercook the meals, and they add the perfect amount of everything in each and every food. The employees are so nice, and aren't afraid to have a conversation with you. Just a tip: if you go from 11-11:30, you can get both breakfast and lunch in the same meal. Tables, seats, etc. are always clean and wiped down.

We stopped by this place for breakfast on the way to Cape Cod. It was a perfect meal - seriously incredible pancakes (get the maple syrup for extra!), crispy homefries, tasty omelette with buttery toast. We loved the pancakes so much that we ordered a second round but with blueberries.

Stopped in based on the reviews, and this place did not disappoint! The staff was so friendly made us feel at home. The food was fast and fantastic!
Jake's place is one of the last standing old fashioned super friendly/American classic diners left.

Excellent, straight forward, friendly, good portions, good price, very tasty. Good to know that Jake's is here for a peaceful cup a joe and hearty fill up. My Omelette and Home Fries were great. Look forward to visiting again when Im working in the area.

Delicious lunch with your favorite local diner fare. Staff was lovely and they were getting ready to close for the afternoon and seated us and made a delicious meal. Clean and cute - reminds me of a childhood diner I used to go to. Small tables and a counter. We met Jake. He is lovely and very social and sat and chat with us a bit. Would come back. The grilled cheese was great. And the fries were perfect. Burger was great and accommodating for a dairy allergy. Hit the spot!

We are new to Darien, Ct, and luckily found Jake's Place and had a delicious lunch today, We were greeted in a welcoming and friendly manner by Jake who chatted with us and our grandson. The service was attentive and the food came out quickly. I had a sandwich special, my husband a chicken wrap and our grandson the kids hot dog meal. All were excellent! We shared a tasty rice pudding for dessert. Look forward to stopping in again soon for breakfast or lunch.
