Buckeye Jake's Eatery

Tasty food, quality service, great selection of spirits and beers. Table seating or sit at the bar. Neat old house setting. A stop well worth making at this small town gem!

Had the Avocado Burger with kettle chips. The burgers are made with Wagyu beef which is definitely an upgrade over other joints. The staff was really friendly. Nice patio but I enjoyed the cold a/c inside on an 87° day. I will be back.

Our party ate outside on the patio this warm spring day. This is a lovely nicely decorated restaurant in the middle of West Alexandria. I had the reuben sandwich on lightly buttered toasted marble bread with the corned beef apparently smoked on their outdoor grill. It was delicious.

The service was fast and friendly, the food was good overall. The kitchen staff was VERY noisy.

The ribs are as good as everyone says, fall off the bone, great flavor. BBQ sauce is good

I wouldn't call the "brisket" actual brisket... it was closer to pot roast, but it was delicious. The pulled pork was delicious as well.

The mashed potatoes were real, but the gravy tasted like jar brown gravy. The mac and cheese was very basic and bland (think of KFC/Golden Corral style).

The mozzarella sticks, chicken tenders, friend green tomatoes, potato skins, egg rolls and onion rings (sampler platter) were all very good. Ranch tasted homemade and was very good. Sweet potato fries well also very good.

The sweet tea was instant and not very good.

Overall, it was great and we would go back.

We had dinner at Buckeye Jake's on Thursday, 2/28. We were very impressed by the OUTSTANDING service we experienced. Wish I knew the waitress's name. She was busy but attentive to all tables. Could not ask for a better experience - and the food was good too!!! We were in the middle dining room.
