Come hungry- Laid-back, family-owned spot where the portions are as big as Texas itself. The staff offers exceptional service which is fast, friendly and full of southern charm. Inside has the outdoor rustic summer charm, and the place is decked out with cool roadside memorabilia that makes you feel right at home. Outside seating is available upon request.

Yummy and Worth the Visit! We stopped in on a Friday before heading to the farmers market, and I'm so glad we did! From start to finish, everything about our visit was top-notch. The service was fantastic--friendly, attentive, and thoughtful. When we mentioned we were sharing a burger, they even split it for us without hesitation. Our food came out hot and fresh, and the burgers were cooked perfectly to the temperatures we requested. Plus, the beer was ice-cold, making for the perfect pairing. The restaurant itself is modern and well-maintained, with a clean and welcoming atmosphere. Even the bathrooms were spotless, which is always a good sign! Prices were very reasonable for the quality, and the entire experience felt like a great value. Parking can be a little tight, but trust me, it's worth it. Definitely a great spot for a delicious meal and a good time!

Lemon. Raspberry. Pancakes. Are life! Every menu item is hearty and portions are generous. I suggest sharing a sweet item and a main meal. Can be a bit chilly, if that's an issue dress warm. Love the big window and view of Myrtle. Makes for great people watching or to enjoy whatever the weather is that day. Meals came pretty quickly and all at once. Coffee Refills were prompt and cups didn't get cold. Did I mention the raspberry-lemon pancakes?

First time here and won't be the last. It gets busy so be prepared to wait. I met a friend for a late breakfast on a Saturday. We had a 15 minute wait. There is plenty of public and street parking nearby. The service was outstanding and the food was delicious. We say inside but there are a few tables outside for your 4-legged friends to join in.

Visitation Rights: 1 Background On Visit: Two months ago, we decided to patronize the shop to support the owner. He lost his house in the Altadena Fire. Credit Cards: They're accepted Restrooms: Restrooms are available to use. Location/Parking: Closest major cross streets are South Myrtle Ave. and E. Olive Ave.. Parking can be found in the residential area, nearby public parking lots, or along Myrtle Ave.. Ambiance/Decor: Had this homey feeling and pretty neat decor along the walls. Service: Service was good and food came out fast. Jump Start Of Choice: 1) Bowl Of Chili And Corn Muffins: The chili was simple, but delicious. The corn muffins were a little dry. BBQ Combo Of Choice: 1) Phat Mike's Delight: 1/2 smoked chicken, Tri-Tip, 1 BBQ pork rib, 1 BBQ beef rib, 1 hot link sausage. Enjoyed the combo a lot. It had a little bit of almost every meat offering. The hot link was a bit spicy for so didn't really enjoy it much. The combo also included two sides. Got the mac and cheese (a bit overcooked and kinda bland) and potato salad (decent. You can taste the sourness). Jakes Roadhouse For Thought: Don't mind coming back.

Restaurant was nice and clean. came to support. Server was good and refilled our beverages multiple times. The sausage link was tasty and not too hot, the bbq chicken was delicious and moist. The spare rib was good, the beef rib was alright not too much meat on it though. Tri tip was good but not super tender. Came with 2 sides and a blueberry corn muffin. Come with an appetite it was enough food for 2/3 people to share

This is the first restaurant I've ever tried at Monrovia so it holds a special place in my heart. The aesthetics has Diners Drive Ins And Dives written all over it but still has a level of at home, cozy feels like getting bear hugged by your great aunt. For anyone on keto, they have a ton of delicious omelet options amongst other traditional American favorites. One of their specialties are their lemon raspberry pancakes which are awesome because they're not too sweet. Dining outside is also available if you want to bring your dog to chill with you as you eat your meal. Parking is pretty easy in Old Town Monrovia, ton of street parking but may be harder on Friday nights since that's when the street fair is.

Don't forget this place the problem is I love this omelette so much it's hard to try other things.... The eggs are fresh and fluffy not skimpy on the meat or cheese. To me it's a perfect combination the portions are on the bigger side so I always leave with half my food.. you have options potatoes or fruit and as you can see the fruit is always fresh and ripe. Toast or pancake I take the lemon raspberry pancake a hint of lemon with a dollop of raspberry butter yummy... the sweet of the powder sugar it good just like that but wait you can add the raspberry syrup and it elevates it to the next level. Oh and the house chili you have to put it on your eggs not to spicy but the flavor mixed with the eggs yum yum. Potatoes are spot on you can't go wrong with hash browns or potatoes both really good and seasoned well. Again add that chili for extra flavor.... Everyone who works here are super nice. And for a little bit of conversation look around the walls have all kinds a memorabilia. It's a fun place to see all the old stuff.. extra parking in the back.
