Jakers Bar and Grill is an upscale-casual steakhouse and bar at 3268 E Pine Ave in Meridian, just off the Eagle Road corridor. Locals come for hand-cut steaks, fresh seafood, and one of the area’s best-known happy hours (source: Jakers).
The Meridian location belongs to a regional group with sister restaurants in Twin Falls, Idaho Falls, Pocatello and Great Falls, Montana. That background shows in a polished, consistent kitchen. Steaks anchor the menu, and the Cap Steak and ribeye draw steady praise across the group (source: Wheree). At this location, diners often single out the French onion soup as a must-order starter (source: Wheree). Salads, burgers and a full cocktail list round out the offerings, so the room works equally well for a date-night dinner or a drink at the bar. Jakers rolled out new menus in late September 2026, so expect some fresh additions alongside the standbys (source: Instagram).
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Happy hour pulls a strong after-work crowd on weekdays, so arrive early if you want a bar seat. Friday and Saturday evenings fill quickly, and reservations are wise for groups or special occasions. Check jakers.com for the updated menus and current happy hour times before you go. Driving is the practical way to get here. The restaurant sits near Eagle Road and I-84, and the shopping and entertainment at The Village at Meridian are a short drive north, which makes an easy pairing for a full evening out.
