Art & Jakes

The food is good, always packed because it's like a sports bar vibe. Service sometimes can be slow but if you are just hanging out and not in a rush you should be ok.

A disappointing dinner marred by 2 issues, that left me sour on the place.I had some time for dinner after dropping kid #2 at a class. I noticed Art & Jakes, and since it's a favorite work hangout in Sterling Hts, I thought I'd chase down some Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos. I figured I could eat in an hour, but I figured wrong. (It wasn't overly busy on a Tue night)I actually got my entree fairly quickly. Given almost all of the Taco material is pre-made that's understandable. What was weird, and I realize this is picky, is that the sides were served on a flat board. I guess it makes for an interesting presentation, but chasing the Spanish rice around the board isn't wonderful. Too much of it ends up on the table, which means I'm not eating it. Please change this.With 20 minutes to spare I thought I could try the Turtle Cheesecake which looked good on the dessert menu - but also was absent a price. I ordered the dessert thinking, this too is pre-made and will be out shortly. Not so fast.I waited and waited as my required departure closed in. My head swiveled to try and find the server. No such luck. I wanted to pay at least to save some time. Then, as more time elapsed, I wanted to cancel the order which was taking inexplicably long. I considered calling on another waiter or the hostess. Then I finally saw my hapless server seated at a booth, chatting away with another customer.I waved her down as she finally got up and was about to pass me by. I gave her my credit card and I told her I needed to settle the bill and to cancel the dessert. I was standing, coat on, when she returned with a bag and the credit card slip. She said "I packed it up for you because that took entirely took long." Well that was BS, she was chilling at the table, SHE took entirely too long - and now she was lying to me.I figured she's comping the cheesecake, but nope. I look at the bill expecting a zeroed out dessert. Or, at worst, maybe a $6 dessert.It was a ridiculous $8.95 for dessert that was late; dessert I asked to cancel and she delivered anyway. I get that restaurants pump up prices on extras but, given the circumstances, I was not happy. Unfortunately, any time I might have to complain or correct the check was gone - and so was the waitress, again. I had to go, so I signed and left.To add further disappointment the server didn't bother to include plasticware in the 'to go' bag. I ate part of the cake barehanded while waiting to pick up the kid. The cheesecake was just OK. The gelatinous caramel on top was strange and worrisome. Certainly not worth the wait.Even though I will be back in the area often, I won't go back to this shop. The A&J in Sterling Heights provides reasonably fast service with a smile. The one in Washington Township? Not so much. An overly generous 2 stars. Lying to customers actually deserves less.

This is one of the best bangs for you buck this place is a family friendly sports bar that has amazing food and friendly staff

Great sports bar atmosphere, numerous TVs. Our waitress was top notch. But the food was mediocre. Tons of greasy fried dishes. I felt nauseous after eating the Detroit steak sandwich, which was really bland in flavor. Our table ordered wings and cheese curds and calamari as appetizers, which I know are greasy everywhere, so my bad in eating them. But they weren't really that great compared to other places. Go here to watch a game and have some drinks, but not just to eat.

Fine.You know it's a sports bar. Lots of TVs, average service, average food- just fine.

Ordered a drink they were out. Ordered a different drink. Given the wrong one. Ordered pasta alla vodka, given regular spaghetti. Once again this place has disappointed me, they refuse to improve and only have business because this town have literally no other good options.

The inside is awesome great place to watch a game. The food isn't stellar maybe they've just got to work that out. Things show up out of order and are missing sides, dressings etc frequently. The service is friendly and they keep the beers coming

We usually go to the 23 and Hayes location but went bowling in Romeo and went to the Washington location. Will never be back! My nephew ordered boneless wings and half way through eating them noticed they were raw! Hopefully we don't visit the Er tonight

Sport bar atmosphere loud at times packed for Wednesday. Well staffed. Waitress seem to be frazzled and messed up drink orders. Ordered Rocky Mountain burger supposed to have "spice" Spicy Aioli // Smoked Gouda // Fried Jalapeños, no spice or smoke. Burger flavor was lacking as well. Portions good, overall average sports bar with average food.

This was our second time and our last, Our waitress wrote my order wrong, by the time l received my Italian Grider, my wife had completed her dinner, and the meat on my sandwich was sparse. I expected better from this restaurant. We did get 1/2 off of my sandwich.
