Our take: Jacob's Cafe presents a mixed bag, with some diners praising its Western fare like fish and chips, aglio olio with salmon, and chicken cutlet for good taste and attentive service.
The mushroom soup and mid-joint wings also receive positive mentions.
However, a significant number of reviews highlight inconsistencies in food quality, particularly regarding temperature and freshness.
Dishes like the $22.90+ pork chop and oxtail stew have been served cold or lukewarm, with some suggesting pre-cooked elements.
The salted egg fried chicken pasta and pizza have also drawn criticism for being underwhelming and using store-bought ingredients, respectively.
While some appreciate the quaint atmosphere, the service can be hit or miss, with instances of staff being unhelpful when issues are raised.
We'd recommend visiting during off-peak hours to potentially avoid quality control issues, but be prepared for a potentially inconsistent experience.
The Oxtail Stew, despite occasional temperature issues, appears to be a recurring favourite for some long-time patrons.
