Jake's Over the Top - Burgers, Shakes and Fries!

This '50s style atmosphere encourages people to have fun and enjoy great-tasting charbroiled hamburgers, cheese fries and other wonderfully unique flavors. There's usually great surprise on the part of first-time customers as they purchase one of our distinctive shakes. The special preparation allows heaping of the ice cream 2 to 3 inches over the rim of the cup. Fresh fruit, cookies, berries, and candy are added to offer a multitude of flavors from which to choose.

Charbroiled gourmet hamburgers with a special seasoning and our famous cheese fries served with a touch of smoky barbecue dipping sauce set us apart from the competition. Our charbroiled chicken sandwiches with all the trimmings provide a special taste that is like no other. Drive-through windows assure our commitment to fresh, fast food offerings any time of the day.

Mayan Jamma Juice - Tropically Refreshing!

Mayan Jamma Juice drinks are blended with ingredients that suggest jungle and rain forest mystique. Real fruit, including berries, bananas, kiwi, mango, and other tropically refreshing ingredients titillate your taste buds. Nonfat yogurts, sherbets, purees, and fruit, and even fresh-squeezed orange juice, add to the flair. The aroma of the fresh-squeezed oranges permeates the air and welcomes customers to our restaurants. Watching the preparation of a drink from start to finish seems to be a large part of its appeal to the customer. Mayan Jamma Juice drinks are so nutritious and delicious they become actual replacements for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Smiles and repeat business are the hallmark of this juice concept.
