Jake's Uptown Supermarket

The shrimps are seasoned and fried really really well. Most people wouldn't think about eating from places like this, but their food is usually good. I ordered from Jake's on UberEats and somehow ordered it twice. I called the store to see if there's a way they can cancel orders on their end. Of course not, so I was charged twice, but only received one of the orders. Which I believe is the Uber driver's fault. I ended up speaking to a guy I assume runs the store or maybe an owner and he offered me a refund on both orders, because he didn't want to lose me as a customer.

Jake's Uptown Supermarket is a great corner store to have in my neighborhood. I literally live not even half of a block away, so it's very convenient for me to run and grab whatever I need. Prices for grocery items are a little higher, but much easier than a trip to a huge store.Full selection of liquor and wine, and good assortment of beer as well. Excellent butcher shop in the back of the store, plus hot plates for lunch on the cheap.I'm there at least every other day to pick up something I need, and glad to have Jake's in my neighborhood!

Oh, Jake's. Sometimes I feel like my children keep you in business. We live a block away and I'm pretty sure they are in there daily. They come back with ice-cream, candy bars, an array of chips, and all the sugary drinks their hearts desire.I run over on occasion for a beer or some chips. Who am I kidding? I'm buying both. The beer selection is actually not bad for a c-store and you can always be sure to see some sweet, drunk neighborhood characters out front. Sometimes they'll ask you to buy them a beer or give you a kiss on the cheek, but they are harmless and will make sure no one messes with you or your house.There is a deli area in the back, which I have yet to try, but overall I'm happy to have Jake's on the corner. It's one of the things that really reminds me every day that I live in New Orleans.

Jake's (aka Uptown Supermarket) is a corner market / meat deli / food deli tucked in the Leonidas neighborhood. It's pretty much the place to go if you need snacks, drinks, actual food, or bulk pig tails (the porcine part, not the hairdo). As a bonus, the employees all seemed friendly and everything was very reasonable priced (a large lunch is $5.99 and included red beans and sausage, chicken, mac and cheese, sausage mashed potatoes, corn bread, and a drink). I can't wait to go back during lunch and try their poboys!

Jake's is pretty good for finding groceries, maybe a little bit more expensive than far-away Rouses and Winn Dixie, but definitely cheaper than nearby Robert's Fresh Market. I like that it's right around the corner from my house.
