Jake's Good Eats - Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives Triple-D

We had decided to eat dinner at Jake's today and Larry Jr. bought a couple Groupon coupons for half price and Barb, Henry, Jane, Grant, Jr, Gerry and I headed off to Jake's.  Of course there was a tornado watch out at the time, but one was south of us and the other northeast of us.  No problem.

Jake's is between Barbara & Larry Jr.'s house so it was a short drive for all of us.  The restaurant looks like it is in an old house or converted from another business.  Not much to look at from outside and plain inside, but they have a great reputation for their food.  The menu is limited and they don't serve alcohol and that doesn't seem to deter people from going there.

Guy Fieri from Diners, Drive-ins and Dives came in here a couple years ago and did a show from the restaurant.  He signed the wall in big letters and they also have a large photo of him on the wall with his wild hair.  We didn't see that show, but Barbara remembers seeing it.  The restaurant has an old gas pump, very old coke bottles and other antique articles around the front of the place.  If you are in the area, try it, you will like it.  Just don't expect super fast service since they only have one waitress.  Thanks Dee for the name of the show. 

We went over to Barbara's after dinner and watched a little TV and then left around 10pm and called it a night.  On the way home it was dry in their area and raining cats and dogs in our area.  All within about 10 miles.  We have an Oak tree next to our site and it rained acorns all night on the motorhome.  Not exactly Brahms lullaby to sing us asleep, but we got through it since we were so tired.
