Jake's Old City Grill

The best high-end restaurant in Saginaw

by Jstok at Citysearch

For higher=end dining this is the only game in town. For a town the size of Saginaw you would think there would be more choices.

Staff is typically very attentive, the owners are very friendly and the crowd is Saginaw's professional class. Food is great most of the time but misses the mark for the highest rating. This place would probably be just a better than average place in the big city. It could stand to be more creative and not so typical.

Great wine list if they have it in stock.

• Pros: Great atmosphere that's almost big city league
• Cons: Inconsistent at times

The food here looks like a good selection. However if you order the fish it will be overcooked. If you order a steak it will be just what you order the particular cut but its hard to ruin a steak. The desert comes from a box the salad will be wilted the dressing will come from a bottle. The wine will be over priced and perhaps shelved to long after being previously opened. The lunch is he best thing this place has to offer though it will be dripping in grease. Don't be confused by how it looks the trim was easy to do, the woodwork is from home depot, the bar counter top is thin granite as cheap as possible (have fun breaking you stemware). The best thing you could do if you want fine food or a nice place to take someone is go to Spencers in Saginaw Township or Nino's Family restaurant in Bay CIty.

• Pros: In Saginaw
• Cons: Stuffy people frequent this place thaty have no real class just money that is why they go here
