Restaurants near Squak Mountain State Park

We’ve actually never been to Jak’s for brunch and really enjoyed it. The food was delicious, the service was great. We sat in the back of the main dining room and found that the sound was a little bit louder than we would prefer. The menu has changed somewhat. We found this out because two of our party wanted steak for breakfast —and our server told us about the new menu. Sized and sides have shifted….but the stars of the show —the steaks —were prepared to perfection, outstandingly well—and we will return for that. The blackened salmon sandwich was top notch, the quinoa bowl with top sirloin (prepped “blue”) was devoured, as were the two filet and eggs brekkies.

Four friends met here for lunch yesterday. It is a wonderful spot for lunch as it has a cozy feel and is nicely decorated. We enjoyed our time, the food and our waitperson. Two of us had the house burger with fries and the other two had the grain salad with beets, butternut squash and a delightful balsamic dressing. We would definitely go here again as we felt welcomed and not rushed. One note— After Jan 1, 2025, they will no longer serve lunch or brunch☹️ and will open daily at 3:00.

Bonnie, our server, was absolutely amazing! She was very attentive, anticipating all of our needs, and she knew the menu very well. She was also very happy, friendly, and accommodating to our food sensitivities. The ambience is wonderful, perfect in every way. Unfortunately, the quality of the food has gone downhill. They used to have some of the best fried chicken in the area, for example. Now, nearly every dish contains a lot of onions and the food is often overcooked.

Great food, best Italian I’ve had in the PNW (says an Italian from Chicago)! Friendly and accommodating service.

Went for the first time to celebrate a girlfriend’s birthday and the tearoom is so cute and charming! The food was great, the service was helpful and friendly, the tea was delicious and the assortment of fingerfood were delightful and yummy! The ambience was very festive due to it being the holiday season which was a bonus and can’t wait to revisit see how it’s decorated normally!
