- AArleneSeattle / Eastern Washington •5 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe loved our meal so much, we made reservations for the next day! Our server was exceptional, and the food was delicious. The worst part about this experience was in writing this review! Not only did they want my cell number AND then a verification, but then they wanted our email, and ANOTHER verification! It’s not like this is a bank account for goodness sake! We just wanted to give credit to our server!More infoGracie's - PortlandPrice: Moderate• Northwest• Southwest Portland•4.2
- RRickyPortland / Oregon •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoFirst time visiting Jake’s Famous Crawfish and on Valentines Day no less. It was a very warm and welcoming experience. The food was perfect, as was the ambiance and the wait staff. Initially, due to our understanding of the restaurants long history, we weren’t sure what to expect. Perhaps things were going to feel outdated to us. This, however, was not the case. If anything, the rich history adds to the wonderful mystique and overall experience. Excellent all around and we couldn’t be happier about our visit! Excited to return soon!More infoJake's Famous CrawfishPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Downtown•4.7
