    There were quite a few Clutchfans there. They were still fixing up their TVs but they got it going. It was fun because it felt special to watch the Rockets do so well. The whole place by the end of the game was cheering on the Rockets.

    One of the managers bought a pint for the whole place for us being patient with them fixing the TVs.

    I ate a cheesesteak. It was pretty good and the bread was decent. The food came out fast and I appreciated that.

    It seemed like they had new management and they were trying real hard to do a good job. I appreciated their effort. I met a guy that said he lived near there that had passed this place a million times but said he enjoyed it.

    Try our chicken again. Prior to us taking over September 1, the previous owners used frozen chicken. Our chicken is now fresh and we try to keep a fresher quantity of bread and other ingredients. The Management.

    Jake's Philly Steaks and Rockets Games

    Thanking all of you for visiting Jake's Philly Steaks and watching the Rockets games. We will continue to show all games throughout the year and improve your viewing conditions and adding more HD TV's and Comcast broadcasts (I was west of El Campo over the weekend at a ranch with Direct TV...no Rockets broadcast available...incredible!). Anything we can do to make your visits more pleasurable, please let us know. The Management.

    Here's a request that might not be a good idea for reasons I don't understand: fried pickles.

    They were told to do that and they did not. I personally put the "burger" flyer in a new plastic frame in front of the order counter last night. Hopefully our new expanded menus and menu board will be completed in the next 7-10 days along with our new catering menu. Full alcohol service and extended hours coming in the next 20-30 days. Thank You. The Management.

    Sweet. Once that full bar goes into effect (beer makes me sick - bad time in college), that will be my place to watch games. I went there for the second game and it was a good experience.

    Thanks for replying.

    Same for me, I can only stand so much beer. However, to make our beer taste a little better, we changed to a better quality of charge gas and we repaired our cooler and lowered our draft temperatures to 38 degrees. In the old days we used to feel sick in the morning after drinking the "Dome Foam" and now I know why. But you still can't beat a good ole' whiskey and coke or scotch and water or a shot of something. Thank you. Then Management.

    Then you'll love this...we had a call from a business in Philadelphia that had us cater 150 large for a golf tournament in Kingwood a few weeks back, plus tins of extra grilled onions, extra grilled bell peppers, and extra grilled spicy mushrooms. You would have loved the smell in our truck that early morning. Thank you. The Mangement.

    If I do not go to the game tomorrow, I will definitely stop by and catch it there. I look forward to checking the place out and trying one of the sandwiches

    The fact that you guys carry Comcast and will be airing the Rockets game is a huge competative advantage. Jakes is one of the few spots in Houston to watch the game and grab a drink and food. I would market the hell out of this: Watch the game at Jake's, where the food is good and beer is cheap!!
