The food was not as expected for the cost. It did not come out hot but warm when I ate the fries and burger. The wings were probably the best part. I expected better based on cost. The service was good and friendly, but the food could have been much better.

I always have great food at Jake Melnick’s! The wait time for a table was extremely long for people who didn’t have a reservation, we did and we were seated right away. Who goes to a restaurant in Chicago on a Saturday night without reservations?! The service was outstanding. We always swing through Jake Melnick’s when we are in town, they have AMAZING wings.
