This is a cute hole in the wall coffee shop. Very homey and comfortable atmosphere inside. Has a area set aside for a kids area. Very nice. Very clean and well maintained cafe. Enjoyed myself.

Serving American classics with high quality and great hospitality…read more Sandwiched between two floors of antique malls, Jack's was the perfect stop in the day to get some no-frills nourishment. Their breakfast is incredibly generous and made with ingredients that were fresh, clean, and meticulous in detail. The design of their menu is just so promising with unique twists that are not unheard of, but just an elevated touch when it comes to American diner food as a whole. Things like truffle infused hollandaise, fried green tomato BLT, pairing balsamic with goat cheese, a blackened pork, even mushrooms on the breakfast menu all hint that people developing their menu are confident in their skills in offering something more when it comes to breakfast plates and sandwiches. Their homemade aiolis (highly recommend their pesto aioli) and hot sauce tie any dish together-- breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Things made to this quality are not to be unremarked. Came in with friends so we can try everything on their menu, and we were pleasantly surprised on all fronts. Presentation, ingredients, preparation all elements that made our meals great and were evident across all dishes ranging from protein to carb. Details like toasted bread with already spread with butter, perfectly poached eggs, and brioche as the bun of choice were things we peeped. We would have left satisfied if these details weren't accounted for, but we were so impressed this became a revisit during our short vacation. Their space is greatly spacious, with an open drinks station so its just not pretentious. There is even a section in the front to pick up goods made by local artisans. This is a great place to dine in, no notes.

After eating a wonderful lunch I was ready to give five plus stars…read more We had the truffle Benedict and the open faced roast beef . The ingredients were fresh and the flavors delicious. The atmosphere in the dining room was nice and airy. As we were traveling a good distance I decided to get the renowned cinnamon roll to go . I got a take out coffee and was told there would be a brief wait. After several minutes-a roll came out on a plate. Someone asked what I was there for. I said I'm for a cinnamon roll to go. The busy manager said they take 10 minutes After 20 minutes my husband came in to find me -the roll appeared soon after. I'm a quiet type person , I took the roll and left . It was very good. Message -order the cinnamon roll prior to meal.

Sometimes it seems as though picking out a donut from a DD is a lot like dealing with the in-laws…read more You want the donut....but you've got to deal with all the baggage associated with that donut. And sometimes you want that particular donut you see plastered on the wall, but they don't have it and try to sell you something else instead...all at the last minute. It's like the great switch-a-roo...where you end up with the monster-in-law you thought you would never end up with. In our case at this particular establishment, that Boston Kreme turned out to be a slightly malformed Eclaire that the guy seemed to want to pass off to us b/c it had been sitting in the donut box a little too long (i.e., chocolate icing half globbed on and coming off like a huge dry chocolate scab). Our experience may have been biased since we were craving a Boston Kreme as the dessert to the end of a dinner 12.5 miles away. Needless to say, a quick drive through ended up being a who's who of sold out donuts. Okay, fair enough, I get that it's 30 minutes until closing and they can't have everything...but it would have been nice to have a bit of warning before doing the switch on us. If I had known, I prolly would have gotten something else. And...in further fairness, he did warn us that several of the other donuts were sold out as well....but in the end he found the elusive Apple N' Spice we had wanted in the first place. The 3 stars I'm giving are primarily b/c the guy did try to find the donuts we wanted, but he just seemed a bit frazzled and disorganized. Plus, it kind of turned me off to think that he said "Oh wait, I found an Apple N' Spice donut in the back". All I could conjure up in my mind with that thought was - "Why would a donut be in the back? Aren't they supposed to be in the front???!!!" Okay....maybe I'm just paranoid, but going through a disorganized drive-thru trying to "find" a donut just sounds a bit shady to me and had me envisioning a last minute dumpster dive to find that elusive "one". Plus, not having a say into whether or not we wanted the Eclair was a bit presumptuous. Nice person, but a bit whacky in my mind. And maybe that's the lesson here - much like those unforeseen monster-in-laws - it's an A-OK endeavor....but you just might want to check the baggage before you purchase a donut here. I'd recommend the walk inside as opposed to the drive-thru so you (hopefully) know what you're getting and from **where** you're getting it (i.e., front/back). Buying a donut unseen is a bit like getting the psycho mother-in-law rearing it's ugly head at you years after you're married - or in our case, a dry crusty Eclaire switched in as a substitute Boston Kreme and an Apple N' Spice from suspect origins.

They serve yesterday's donuts No matter what shop you have…read morestrive to be the best and serve the best!!! You want people to come back and tell others what a great place it is! When I go to a donut shop, I want freshly baked donuts not dried out from yesterday! Just look at the review rating and you will know they don't care. Stop being cheap and produce good results!

My wife and I recently visited Rylie's Diner while passing through the area, and we wanted to share…read moreour experience. Our server, Ashley, provided exceptional service that truly made our stop memorable. She was attentive, efficient, and genuinely warm, making us feel incredibly welcome from the moment we sat down. It was clear she treated every table with the same cheerful demeanor and professionalism, ensuring everyone in her section felt like a valued guest. Ashley's excellent service significantly enhanced our meal, and we highly recommend seeking her out if you dine at Rylie's Diner.

First, let me say, ITS BEHIND WENDYS!!! Then go down the hill. It's a challenge to find. I searched…read moreBreakfast in Ruckersville and Rylies Diner popped up. Menu said creamed Chipped Beef Gravy so I was off! Um wow. Once I found the diner, I was already worried. It seemed a bit... outside the community box. I don't even know what that means but that's how I felt. I walked in and this totally cheerful waitress, met me at the door, in costume. (It was Halloween Day), she was super nice. I ordered a full portion chipped beef gravy and two scrambled eggs with coffee. Coffee had that second day taste, stays with you half the day. Chipped Beef Gravy wasn't homemade, but to be fair I didn't ask them if it was, beforehand. Eggs were good. -I wouldn't make repeat visits but I will, again give a shout out to the waitress. What a total superstar she is. $20 with tip.
