Indeed a very good spot for crawfish and seafood, after eating fresh crawfish at a beach in Jamaica I’ve been thinking about it since. Jake’s may look old-fashioned inside but the food is what matters most, I would suggest to go with your family or 3 + people, the portions are huge and filling. We over ordered (typical of me) and couldn’t finish everything, well except B he luv’d his Softshell Crabs haha…damn I want some crawfish like right now! Make sure you’re not in a rush to go b/c it takes time to eat those babies, and oh if you’re a clean freak this is not the dish you should order. I recommend this spot for seafood and most def crawfish, peep the meal after the jump…
