The food was spot on with lots of good options, and our waiter was engaging and knowledgeable. The warmth from the pizza oven and many soups on the menu made it perfect on a chilly day.

The Thanksgiving buffet was perfect. A great selection of appetizers and the entrée selections met dietary needs. Turkey, prime rib, salmon, as well as a vegetarian mushroom dish and vegan mushroom dish. The chocolate flour less cake with ganache was spectacular. The only very minor issue was the timing of our entrée. Two arrived before we were done with our appetizers. In the servers' defense, it probably was hard to time considering that diner was finished with his appetizers. Overall, I highly recommend this for a memorable experience.

Once again, we had a wonderful Thanksgiving Dinner at Jake's Famous Crawfish. We come her often for dinner and it never disappoints us. Food and service is consistently good. Our server, Charlotte, remembered us from a previous visits and again, did a fabulous job in taking care of us, as well as others, as I observed.

Great food and staff. However the 3 percent upcharge before tip is lame. It’s a work around for the restaurant. Also like many restaurants the ambient music is too loud. Makes it hard to have conversations.
