Jake's Pickup

It’s not just a gas station.
It’s an organically focused restaurant.

Walk past the gas pumps and step inside what looks like a standard convenience store. But keep going to the back and you’ll find yourself at Jake’s Pickup, one of the most unconventional—and delicious—restaurants on the island.

“We think of what we do as mostly organic comfort food made from scratch,” said Jake Angel, who owns Jake’s Pickup with his wife, Kristi. “We’ve always wanted to give people a good meal at a decent price, and this gives us the opportunity to do it.”

There are two parts to Jake’s—made-to-order and grab ’n’ go. The made-to-order choices, which are available Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m., may include:

Fried Cod Sandwich: Two wild-caught cod filets seasoned with BBQ dry rub with house tartar sauce on a buttered and griddled house bun.

Screaming Chicken Melt: Open-face on house French roll with signature basil aioli, roasted chicken, tomato, mozzarella and cheddar.

Smokey and the BBQ: Hickory pulled pork with Memphis-style BBQ sauce and mustard coleslaw on a house-made bun.

Egg, Bacon, & Cheese Sammy: French-style omelet layers and cheddar, bacon and basil aioli on Jake’s own bun.

Short on time but still want something uber tasty? Jake’s grab ‘n’ go menu ranges from sandwiches to some of the best pastries on the island. They bake their bread, buns and pastries in-house, using organic flour and organic eggs. “And we hand-carve all the meat,” said Angel. “I don’t trust big commercial slicers—you can't clean them.”

A discussion of Jake’s wouldn’t be complete without mentioning their sconut. “It’s better than a scone and better for you than a doughnut,” said Angel. “It’s sweet and glazed like a doughnut, but baked, not fried.”

And it’s flying out the door.
