I have been wanting to try Jakes for ages.
Obviously discovered it a few years ago Thanks to the Eliz Line and my supermarket quests but I kept coming the wrong time when they were closed.
Finally, just when I had lunch nearby it happened to be open so I had to try a burger.
The owner is a super foodie like me so definitely can relate and obviously his burgers are amazing coming from someone who doesn't really eat burgers because grilled patties have a funny taste and smell from the grill while some meats stink.
Dined here twice so tried the chicken, beef, lamb burgers and they were all banging.
Clean, juicy patties which he makes in house so there's no chewy bits or bone fragments.
Also tried the fried egg, again cooked on the same grill, the taste was clean.
The shocking thing was the price, a 4oz beef burger will only set you back at £3.40.
The burgers were tasty without sauces and extra garnishing but taken to the next level with the saltiness and fiery kick from English mustard inspired by another customer.
Definitely the best burger and one that I ate with my bare hands.
Only cheated by using a fork to put mustard on the burger and to eat the fried egg.
(I happened to have a fork because I got a few from my bakery crawl earlier that day where one of the bakeries was recommended by the owner.)
The owner is so inspiring and enlightening that it was a pleasure hearing about his dining experiences.
Jakes Hamburgers is definitely worth trying because you can see how long it has been there, I love the neon lights and the old fashioned burger menu.
I'll be back!Owner response
What a lovely review, thank you so much ,ssg, I really enjoyed your visit and it was great to see you so soon after your first experience and I was glad to see that you also brought a friend with you on this occasion. It is always nice to share food experiences with like-minded people and I’m glad you tried one of my recommendations. I’ve always maintained that just because you are serving a Hamburger, you can still give it the attention that it deserves and have a passion and enthusiasm about it just as you would if you were preparing dishes for fine dining. I’m so glad you enjoyed your visit and thank you for your kind words. I really do appreciate it. I look forward to seeing you again soon .
Tried Jake Hamburger for the first time today and I’m so impressed! The burger was incredibly fresh and delicious, and the owner was very friendly and polite, which made the experience even better. This was my first visit, but definitely not my last! Highly recommend.

Dear Clarisse Thank you so much for your kind words. It is much appreciated. I think politeness and customer service are very important, and I think sadly , undervalued in today’s world. I’m glad you enjoyed your burger, and I look forward to seeing you again. Thank you again for taking the time to leave a review .

I’ve grown up around the area and have always seen Jake’s Hamburgers. Thought I’d give it a go last night and was everything I expected it to be. The shop feels like a blast in the past! I can imagine not much has changed in terms of the look inside over the past few decades which for me, I loved. Even for me as a 28 year old, so much has changed in ilford over the last 2 decades so it’s really nice to see how Jake’s had stood the test of time and a local business that has been serving the locals for over 40 years! Absolutely loved the service and heartwarming to see to elderly gentleman have a meal on a Friday night who have been customers since 1989! I hope Jake’s business carries on strong as for certain I’ll be supporting it! Food wise I ordered the 4oz blowout burger with regular chips which was immense. Amazing taste and was all cooked fresh right in front of your eyes.- Recommended dishes

Really great burgers made fresh in front of you and easily customizable to what you want. They’re definitely worth more than you pay for them. And the owner is extremely friendly. I absolutely recommend this place. Note that there is no contactless payment- just cash or bank transfer.

Whenever I need a burger this will be my place to go 😎👌🏼
I can tell that the owner is a very nice man, his overall customer service & conversational skills are 10/10.
I found out from him that this shop has a 50 year history & he’s been working in the shop for all of this time which I found really interesting.
Even though I only came here last night I have already highly recommended this place to my friends & family 😁- Service

D R Thank you for your kind words, they are very much appreciated. I look forward to your next visit .
Went last night and ordered two burgers, a sausage and three portions of chips. The food was genuinely outstanding. We added bacon to one burger and an egg to the other. Both delicious and very filling. Very friendly service. Will definitely be going back. 10/10. Can't believe we've never been here before!

Dear Elizabeth Thank you for your kind review. I’m glad you enjoyed your 8oz Bacon burger . I look forward to your next visit. Your positive feedback is very much appreciated .
I have not gone to the shop myself but have always wanted to try the food as it smelled amazing. So glad I did the portions are more thank filling and at an amazing price. If you are ordering from online like I did and choose the beef burger make sure to choose what you want in your burger as I neglected that part and I ended up only getting the buns, pattie and onion on my burger.
