Me and a couple of guys I work with have been going to Jakes for about 2 years (we work in Liberty Place) - I think since about the time it opened. I think the steaks are awesome. I've tried just about every one from around the city and would say Jakes is better than all of them with the exception of maybe John's Roast pork - which I also highly recommend. The bread is from Carangi (same as John's) and I like the selection of free toppings. You have to request the seeded roll. Being in the food court is not the coolest atmosphere for a steak place and I'm not always looking for a cheese steak for lunch, but when I am, it is always good.
Just recently tried a chicken steak and was pretty impressed - not the typical frozen patty chicken steak. Definitely worth trying. Nice Job!
Pros: Great food, friendly service
Cons: Located in a food court
