Jake's Famous Crawfish

"Louis, half-and-half: shrimp on the left, Dungeness Crab on the right."
Michael Stern






"The way a meal at Jake's begins: with a loaf of crusty sourdough bread. Bread like this does not exist other than on the West Coast."
Michael Stern



"Jake Freiman served his first crawfish at the Oregon Hotel in 1881. Eleven years later, this restaurant opened; and in 1920 Jake made it his."
Michael Stern



"Jake's Oregon Three Berry Cobbler is a Northwest masterpiece of blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries ... and, when available, marionberries, too. That's local Tillamook ice cream on top."
Michael Stern



"Classic Northwest chowder. It looks like the stuff Yankees call "New England Chowder," but it has a savory character all its own."
Michael Stern



"Jane, a lemonade connoisseur, says that this brew, flavored with raspberries, is some of the best she's ever sucked up a straw."
Michael Stern



"An off-the-menu special one day at lunch: seafood Cobb Salad, heaped with shrimp and crab."
