"My server returned shortly after to take my meal order. She paid great attention to my preferences and repeated my order back to ensure accuracy, which I appreciated. I ordered a half rack of baby back ribs with sauce on the side, a baked potato with butter and bacon bits (if they had them), and some coleslaw. To my delight, dinner arrived just 11 minutes after I ordered and matched my request perfectly!
The food was fantastic! The ribs were cooked just right, easily sliding off the bone and bursting with delicious, charred flavor. The side sauce complemented them perfectly. The "bacon bits" on my baked potato were actually two thick strips of bacon—no complaints whatsoever! The coleslaw was tangy and creamy, exactly how I like it.
Throughout my visit, the service was exceptionally attentive. I received frequent offers for water and tea refills, and various staff members checked in to ensure everything was satisfactory. I give them an A+ for customer attentiveness. The meal's price was quite reasonable for the quality and portion size I received, and I was glad to have chosen this place over a typical chain restaurant for dinner.
It was my first time in Monrovia and my first dinner out in the area, and it certainly did not disappoint. Well done, Jake’s Roadhouse! I'll definitely be returning. Thank you, and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!"
