Danny Raskin's The Best of Everything MANY TIMES a neighborhood restaurant - lounge will go unsung when it comes to having a good meal at a reasonable price. This is the case with Jakk's, Greenfield and 10 Mile, which has been at the Royal Oak Township loca- tion for many years . . . also a fun spot . . . and the prime example of a place being taken for granted. Like the former Darby's, if a spot like Jakk's were no more, it would be missed by many people who -would talk of "the good old days there" . . . the congenial- ity, friendliness and homey atmosphere . . . To a lot of people, Jakk's is somewhat of a home away from home. The food is far above par . . . with one of the finest chefs around in Chuck Formosa, whose experience is such that makes for good solid din- ing, whether it be lunch or dinner. Dollar for dollar, the dinners at Jakk's are prob- ably among the best values in town . . . There are oo- dles of specials each night . . . with meals from soup to potato or vegetable to salad bar . . . The lowest price special is $5.95 for chiken livers and the high- est $10.50 for king crab legs . . . In between are always about five or six seafood items from $7.75 to $8.95 . . . There's also Chuck's popular $6.95 specials of broiled whitefish or petit filet . . . and even early bird items from $5.25, 4 to 8, Monday-Friday. The food at Jakk's is good fare . . . and complimented by the excellent service . . . Donna Platt, Cinda Shim- mell and Carey McMichael are all personable servers . . . efficient, courteous and pleasant . . . Usually, or- dinary neighborhood restaurant-lounges can not boast of such customer- pleasing talent Jakk's is lucky to have the kind of waitresses people can relate to in their home-away- from-home attitudes. Behind the bar evenings is Charlie Bonnier, who knows people . . . their likes and dislikes . . . but most of all concentrates highly on attentiveness. Holding sway Wednes- day through Saturday evenings at the piano bar is Carl Steger . . . one of the area's premier entertainers . . . playing piano, singing, doing his repartee thing . . . and never ceasing to amaze customers with his knowledge, of tunes, who they were written by and when . . . Also his excel- lent ability playing songs most people know . . . and what they want to hear . . . Carl knows people, too . . . and their likes . . . He does his ut- most to please . . . and seldom fails. The atmosphere at Jakk's is much better than your normal neighborhood restaurant-lounge . . . Padded open booths and ta- bles in a setting of soft lights, mirrors and well- appointed decorations choicely done with neat simplicity . . . Chef Chuck Formosa's kitchen is well- equipped, clean and capable of producing menu items, -- without delay to his specific' wants . . . It had been re- modeled when owners Dick and Aggie LaCombe took over from Harold Allen and Ed and Herb Goldberg . . Before them, it was owned by Jack Freedman. The food at Jakk's is among the best dollar values around . . . and it's a fun place . . . Some eve- nings, Saturday nites espe- cially, people can almost expect to run into others they haven't seen in years . . . Former Detroiters here for a visit know of Jakk's reputation for meeting people and high-tail it there to see a lot of folks they know. And what would a neighborhood restaurant- lounge be without a good hamburger? . . . Yes, there's a real good one at Jakk's. Whatever it takes . . . good food, good service, good entertainment, good fun and convivialty, Jakk's has the right combination. MANY FOLKS RE- MEMBER Maria's Pizzeria and Mencotti's on Puritan . . . or have heard about them . . . And Frank Men- cotti today is seeing a lot of his old customers plus meet- ing their children . . . at Pizza Plenty in Tally Hall, Orchard Lake Rd. and 14 Mile. Frank opened Maria's in 1949 with seating for 70 people . . . In 1954, Joe Slavik put on an addition that brought it to 250 . . . Then Mencotti's was built in 1958, bringing the capacity to 400. Joe is now one of the own- ers at Tally Hall and has the Pizza Plenty sector . . . He heard Frank was back in town and contacted him to run the carry-out pizzeria. After Maria's and Men- cotti's burned down in 1968, Frank opened a res- taurant in Wilmington, Del. . . . and has been back two years. He is credited with mak- ing the first frozen pizza back in 1950 . . . selling his first order of 2,000 to Writ' ley Super Markets . . . Frank had Maria's and was more interested in that than going into the frozen pizza business . . . If you're by Tally Hall, stop in by Pizza Plenty and say hello to Frank.
