Jake's Famous Crawfish

401 SW 12 Ave., Portland, OR - (503) 226-1419
Jake’s is a legendary Pacific Northwest fish house. The high-back wooden booths, the thick white tablecloths and white-jacketed wait-staff, the daily printed menu with its headlines of which fish are fresh that day (and what part of the region they’re from), the loaf of chewy crusted sourdough bread set upon the table: here is a taste of Portland that dates back longer than a century.

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.

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.

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.
