Jakes is a steakhouse that features an extensive menu. Tuesday is known throughout the community for their “Half Price Burger” special and get here early because during this special the parking lot can be overflowing with cars. They have steak, BBQ ribs, chicken wings, sandwiches, baskets, seafood, flatbread, 7 different salads, soups, fish baskets and the “Jake’s Dawg Paw” is a great appetizer that resembles a Blooming Onion with Bistro sauce.

Fiesta Mexicana is a fun Mexican restaurant with 2 locations in Mount Vernon. Free chips and salsa are served before your meal, they have appetizers and there are over 40 different choices including some really big platters. Don’t be surprised when your server says “Be Careful, this plate is HOT” because they bring your meal hot from the kitchen. They also offer a lunch buffet that is very popular. I personally love their Steak Fajitas for lunch and people really rave about their cheese sauce.
