"This Portland landmark is where the McCormick & Schmick’s national empire began. Jake’s keeps things traditional with classic, balanced preparations of Pacific Northwest bounty like salmon, Washington steelhead, and Dungeness crab, alongside Midwestern trout. Several blue plate specials are available at lunch, while an expanded dinner swaps out salads and sandwiches for steak and lobster options." - Ben Coleman

"This classic downtown seafood spot has been shucking oysters and serving Oregon Dungeness crab cocktail in one form or another since 1892. While there’s nothing wrong with ordering a local brew to go with local seafood, the neon Guinness sign, flanked by two glowing crawfish is your sign (literally) to order a freshly pulled draft and a dish of popcorn crawfish served with sherry aioli for dipping." - Krista Garcia
"Now owned by McCormick and Schmick’s, Jake’s has become more of a traditional seafood restaurant than a typical spot for peel-and-eat mudbugs. Open since 1892, the shop popcorn-fries its crawfish, stuffed halibut with bay shrimp and Dungeness crab, and ladles a bouillabaisse abundant with shellfish and salmon. During happy hour, Jake’s offers things like crawfish etouffee and garlic steamed mussels for under $10." - Rebecca Roland
