A good lunch spot – We eat at Jacob Wirth for lunch usually once a week. It is close to where we are and we like some items on the menu. The daily lunch special is with checking out and it includes a cup of soup, sandwich, dessert, and soft drink for $10. The sweet potato fries are excellent, just make sure they are hot or send them back. The complimentary cornbread would be great if it was warmed, but it isn't. The servers are nice and if you are in a hurry they will do their best to accomodate you. Items that I have eaten ... read more
Management/wait staff poor – I've been to Jake's many times. My last visit prompted me to write this negative review. I visited on Valentine's Day and was given the "Valentine's Day" special menu. The menu noted a soup, appetizer, entree, and desert with a beer sampler with every course, for the "all inclusive price" of $49 per couple. However, once we had ordered, there was no soup course, and while the menu indicated that there was a beer sampler for each person with each course, we only got one beer with the appetizer cou... read more
NOT a place to get authentic German food – I am a German living in Boston. If you ask me where in the Boston area you can get good German food, the answer is simple: You can't. The schnitzel are sub par. And what's with the dill and sweet peas in the spaetzle? That is just odd. Serving something with a side of sauerkraut doesn't make it a German dish. And why Americans think lemon butter is a staple in the German cuisine eludes me. On the plus side: The potato pancakes aren't horrible if you leave out the cinnamon creme frai... read more
Good Food My co-workers and I stopped here because it was close to our hotel. Their food was really very good. We also appreciated the prompt service because we were tired and ready for bed. They were just great.
Jacob Wirth right on the edge of China town in Boston is one of Boston's oldest restaurants, nothing fancy but excellent food, the type of food I would call old new england fare-- comfort food
if not for the potato fries... – my colleagues and i would go there for happy hour purely bc it's conveniently located in our area, but once and again, if you arrive too late you won't even get one of the few tables in the bar (as opposed to dinner) section because they'll either be occupied or reserved. waiter service has been apathetic at best and sometimes bordering on rude. on a good day, you can order one thing at a time coz they'd usually disappear before your first sentence ends. we've had mostly bar food (sweet potat... read more
Slow, ran out of food, free parking was not really free – I dont know what to think of this place. I was so excited to eat here. Well they messed up one of our orders so they comped it and gave free desserts. While i shouldnt complain about that, they even messed up the dessert. They also informed me that the last sauerbraten had been plated for the evening. P.S. it was about 6pm. The service was really slow, so the free parking didn't really matter. We were still charged $15 for parkign there for 15 mins over the limit so y... read more
Over 50 different beers and good food – We were a party of five on a Saturday evening without reservations so we had to go to the bar while we waited for a table. It was the best thing that could have happened to us. They serve over 50 different beers with many on tap. The bartender was very knowledgeable. We told him what we liked ?dark, fruity, Sam Adams, and he recommended a beer for us to try. He was right on!!! We all loved his choices. Two rounds and probably eight different beers later we were seated. We ordered the B... read more
Great beer selection – I had been to jacob wirth a few times in the past but never noticed the extensive beer menu till I saw it here and I went back in for lunch to check out the list. Its huge, they have so many good brews. You can even get a flight of them, so you can sample a few different kinds. Grab a brat while your there to go with a nice german brew. Thanks Jake, great beer and food.
