Visited with family. Great selection on the menu and staff are very friendly and attentive. Portions were of a good size and quickly served. Would definitely visit again!

Having been here on previous visits to the Island we booked this for our first night on our recent visit. We shared the Pork & Beef Platter which comes with 2 sauces & 3 sides & is quite some size,it was a struggle but we...managed to finish it,the food was superb & the service excellent,the staff are so friendly & helpful. We enjoyed it so much that we returned the following night,we stayed downstairs in the main bar,my Wife had the Chicken Wings & I had the Sloppy Jaks Burger,again the food & service were both superb. Sports Bars are not really our type of place but Jaks takes some beating when it comes to the size & quality of the meals & the excellent service!More

I can confidently recommend this bar / grill with a 100% rating. The staff are amazing! Friendly, helpful, and they all offer a first class service. The food is excellent and is cooked to perfection. It was a lifting experience to witness staff members who...are obviously happy carrying out their duties whilst putting the needs of the customer first. The cocktails are delicious and well presented by skilled staff.More

The restaurant / pub is located in the centre of the promenade, the steak house is at the first floor. We were welcomed by a very kind waitress. Luckly wasn't busy, and we were served very quick. We order three different steaks: Sirloin, Rump and...Fillet, with sweet potato fries and house salad. The fillet it was the best one, but also the other two were good. The meat is of a good standard. The prices are slightly above average but justified by the quality of the ingredients. During the TT is highly recommended to book a table in advance.More

Have you ever seen a human being explode ? Well, neither have I but if you are going to then this is the place. One the first night we had the Pork and Beef platter. It said serves 2 - 3 people ... yes .....and six other hungry carnivores. It was delicious but Jaks clearly have no comprehension of the capacity of a normal persons stomach. Joking aside, if you are really really hungry or there are perhaps four of you we can thoroughly recommend it. On the second night we had the Wing Bucket and the Mixed Grill. These were a little more reasonable and both were excellent. I had the wings with the 'pants on fire' dip which was hot but I think the title oversells it a bit. Generally the place was busy but not as much as we have seen it in the past. I can't really think of anything bad to say except perhaps the portion size. I am a big eater and we couldn't finish the Pork and Beef platter and it breaks my heart to throw a way food. Definitely should be on your places to visitMore

First arrived in the IOM looking for something light to eat. The chicken and brisket wraps were great with a few sides. Decided to book a table for a few days later because I am in to BBQ. Ordered mixed grill you may think a...bit of everything. Good place to start. NO! Burnt ends. Cube of flat with a bit of sauce poured over. Brisket point. The smallest bit I have ever seen and if it was not dripping in sauce, it would have been as dry as your heal. About 5mm thick. Meat slicer. OK it’s a smoke house without the smoke ring. First night asked about the smoker was told it was done from upstairs (in street level bar). The second night asked again and was told it was in the basement. OK I asked for a look and was told no. I was then informed it was an electric smoker. Nothing wrong with that, then a person arrived whom I was told was the smoker about 19 years old. Grilling from a set of instructions. The ribs I was expecting something like St Louise style not Chinese style with all the cartilage and the like. Wings not trimmed so you still have the end bit on. The sides were great but the mains did not live up to expectation........More

4 of us had a meal last night. Really great atmosphere, very friendly stall quality food .We thought we had booked on line,but we hadn't and turned up .They fitted us in which we where very grateful. Many many thanks. We will definitely be back....More

First visit, hadn't booked. No problem. Excellent staff attitude, excellent choice. Highly recommended. Mainly smokehouse menu but not all, so choice is good.

First time but definitely not our last. An amazing meal with a generous portion. Really good selection of food including vegetarian options. Food cooked to order. Two and main meal with 4 pints and a soft drink £56 Excellent value for money.

Arrived Bank holiday evening and walking around found this open. There is a downstairs bar/TV area and an upstairs where there is table service. We went upstairs which was very quiet with just a few of the tables occupied. I ordered chicken wings and the...wife cheesey chips. I think the size of both were the largest we had seen. I had at least 12 very large wings which came with a large amount of meat attached. Also a dip and salad. The wife's dish was very large to say the least. Good atmosphere and service but like a lot of restaurants we visited closed 9.30pm. We actually returned a second time when it was busier and both had excellent steaks.More

We went here on a Sunday night when most everyhing else was shut. The downstairs bar was crowded and noisy but the upstairs restaurant was a bit more sedate. The menu was not particularly ambitious, but had a nice variety. We had the carvery dinner,...which was fresh even at that hour in the evening. It was really quite good and the price was more than reasonable. The local ale was not bad, but the service was the real standout. They were quite busy but the service was bright and brisk. Overall, the experience was quite pleasant. We would definitley go again, especially on a Sunday!More

Called into Jaks Bar & Smokehouse for a night out after football. Live band playing good music. Had a couple of pints Great atmosphere
