It was very fatty. I guess i didn’t know to say make it lean. The sandwich was decent. I spent about $20. I would pick McBobs over Jakes. I wasnt really a fan of this. Not too much flavor.
Jakes has been around for as long as I can remember. The staff has changed, and it has also but it is still the only place in the neighborhood where you can get a good corn beef sandwich.
Good sandwich, lean meat plentiful (extra $3), loved the mustard and pickle. Okraft. A grilled sandwich with Swiss cheese, no kraut.
I had a business meeting in Milwaukee, and we ordered for pickup from Jake's. I loved Jake's Reuben sandwich when I had a job on North Ave. 30 years ago--and it's STILL THE BEST REUBEN IN MILWAUKEE! Everyone else loved their orders too. Keep up the great work, Jake's! We'll be back!
I used to go often over 25years ago. They had the best in town. I remember going and the lines would be out the door. I guess I will never taste anything like that again. No different than any other corned beef sandwich shop. The bread isn’t that fresh either
Let me tell you coming from a pleasantly plump lady loll that knows food , hands down best corned beef sandwich ever!! My dad has been coming here for over 20 years and I tried it out last year I’m hooked on jakes
This place is so good. Toasted pastrami sandwich. Just like I remember it from eating back in 2016. Portions haven’t changed. I’d come by more if I still lived in MKE. I ended up taking home 1.5 pounds of pastrami!
