Spotlight: Jake’s Eatery

If you live in the local area, then there is no doubt that you have heard of and probably eaten at Jake’s Eatery.

Stephen Jacobs, the owner of Jake’s Eatery, has deep ties to the local area. He grew up in Holland and attended St. Bede’s, Archbishop Wood and BCCC where he earned his degree in restaurant management.

Starting in the industry as a teenager, Steve held multiple jobs over the course of his career such as dishwasher, dietary aid, assistant chef, cook and manager. All these roles prepared him for his ultimate goal of owning his own restaurant. 

In 1991, he opened Flap Jake’s in the Giuseppe’s Shopping Center offering breakfast and lunch. Seven years later, in 1998, he bought what was then New Roman Pizza, the current site of Richboro Jake’s. Over the years, the name changed to Jake’s Eatery, and it grew to include a dinner menu and the addition of a liquor license and bar.

The Newtown location opened in 2011 and eventually added dinner service as well. 

Unfortunately, when Covid hit, the dinner operations were suspended at both locations, and they remain breakfast and lunch only. 

Jake’s is a local favorite offering a comfortable place to gather with friends and family. Customers know that they can count on Jake’s for high-quality food and service, reasonable prices and a clean friendly environment.

Jake’s uses only the freshest ingredients, and everything is prepared in-house. The menu is complete with all the classic favorites from hearty breakfast combinations, omelets, benedicts, juicy burgers, club sandwiches, fresh salad selections and more. 

With a full-service bar, diners in Richboro can enjoy drinks with their meals in the main dining room or in the pub area. 

Both locations are open 7 days a week from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Jake’s Eatery & Pub in Richboro is located at 869 Bustleton Pike. Jake’s Eatery in Newtown is located at 49 Cambridge Lane.
