Jake’s Wayback Burger

"Off the Path" means the restaurant is not in the "Hamburger America" book, but was recommended while discussing our burger ventures.
When you’re eating a burger this good, not too many words are spoken. Lots of ‘mmmm’s and head-nodding, but not much else. These burgers were AMAZING. It’s a shame I have so many other burger joints on my list, because otherwise I’d just go back to Jake’s every single day for the rest of my life.
I had a Jake Cheeseburger with everything. This is a hand-formed double burger with cheese, ketchup, mustard, onion, lettuce, tomato and pickle. Louis had the same, but no onion. $4.29 each for these burgers. They’ve got a single size for $3.29. They also have hand-dipped milkshakes – Louis had the Coconut Cream, but I just had water since I’m on a diet. We sampled the chili they use on their chili-fries and chili- burgers, and it is just as tasty as everything else. Next time I return I may need to try a chili dog.
Jake’s is a little bit of a chain. Not too many locations, just 30 franchises as of this writing, which surprised me a bit – I just assumed by it’s down-home feel that it was a stand alone restaurant. Jake’s has a burger of the month, and a shake of the month. This month’s burger is the Texas Jake: a Jakeburger with jalepeno, pepperjack cheese, and chipotle dressing. The shake was none other than the coconut cream shake that Louis had. Louis reports that it was absolutely delicious.
