    I always have a great experience at Herbies! The service was excellent especially when you consider how busy they always are during breakfast/brunch. They are extremely fast when cleaning up the tables so the wait time is usually very minimal as long as you don't have a large party. The food is what you'd expect from a diner. Nothing is exceptional, but everything is consistently good. The scrambled eggs and grits are perfectly cooked, but they aren't really seasoned so you'll have to add your butter, salt, and pepper after the fact. The bacon is good, but not as crispy as I prefer it to be. The half and half tea is easily one of the best and consistent I've had in Greensboro. Quality food for a cheap price is definitely worth the 5 stars.

    Chef's Grilled Chicken Salad
    Emily C.

    I stopped in here for a quick lunch at 10 am. Luckily, they seem to serve their whole menu all day, so this was not a problem. Despite being packed inside, I was able to sit down immediately and was served very quickly. I had a chef salad with chicken breast. For less than $10, the salad was HUGE and spilling over the sides of the serving plate they brought it out on. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that it didn't cost any kind of $3-6 up-charge you usually expect to pay for a protein on something like this. The ranch was brought to me in a small bowl on the side, and tasted thick and homemade. They seem to grate their own cheese, as it has no powdery coating and tasted more strongly than usual. This isn't something I even think to look for normally, but it was a nice touch. Every single ingredient in the salad tasted good.

    This classic diner has been around for 30 years and continues to push out quality food at a fair price. Our table order was all burgers made anyway you like them. Hash browns and fries on the side. Great service and an atmosphere that makes you feel like a regular. The full menu is offered all day.

    This restaurant brought back childhood memories when it came to meeting Veterans, they would have their morning coffee and talk. We paid for 2 veterans breakfast while we was there and thank them for their service. I like the fact that they dont season the food (to each their own). The service was really good to be a fast pace diner. The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting and the person taking the dishes off the table was singing to us. He made everything fun. I really like diners where you can walk in and feel welcome. This is definitely the place and I really appreciate that.

    We stopped in to Herbie's to have breakfast for dinner. We really enjoyed our food. It's your normal diner fare, but not below average like many other diners in the area. We would definitely return again!

    Finally tried Herbie's Place after living in Greensboro for over ten years. It was delicious! I don't know why I waited so long to try it. After a short wait we were seated and served right away by a nice waitress. I ordered the large breakfast and it was all very good. I loved the bacon and eggs paired with the hash browns. All of it went perfectly with bottomless coffee. I can't wait to come back and try some other things!

    Good diner experience. The service was very quick. Our waitress was nice and took care of us. The food was delicious. Hash browns were cooked well and seasoned good. Waffle was fluffy and French toast was a treat. Inside was lively and the man busting tables was singing this made the atmosphere happy and joyful. Loved our time there!

It was also a chance to catch up with Ron and Victoria who I have not had a chance to see for a while. They recommended Jake's Diner downtown, a couple of blocks down from Victoria's studio. Sounded like a plan to me, so I hopped in my car and headed to meet them down on South Elm Street. I am glad we went because there were not many people in the restaurant at all and by the time we left after lunch we were the only ones. I know they appreciated the business, We were promptly seated and the waitress was very helpful and provided excellent service Ron went with breakfast and had eggs and waffles and bacon and Victoria went with a lunch themed hamburger and onion rings. I decided to go Victoria's route and ordered a a hamburger with blue cheese and an order of fries with a diet Coke. Everything came promptly and was tasty. I must say, considering how expensive things are today, I found their prices to be pretty moderate. Plenty of refills on coffee and diet Coke without even having to ask. I liked that! The food was good, the company was wonderful and it's nice to have a breakfast/lunch spot like that downtown. I hope I caught Jake's Diner at an odd time and a pre storm panic because they certainly deserve patrons and to stay alive in downtown Greensboro. They offered us a nice meal at a good price. I even found parking right around the corner! Check them out!!

I watched you cater to 3 other tables and pretty much ignore us. To be fair, I've eaten at Jake's on Wendover a few times. I knew the type of food. It's always been excellent. We arrive. The white lady with the high pony tail says "sit anywhere that's clean. Cool. Didn't get her name. I will call her P. All the small booths on the perimeter were full. We take the large booth in the back corner. The tables in the center were six tops. That booth wasn't clean clean. 50-11 crumbs in the chair. I wipe them off. We wait. No menus brought. One of the expediters walks by. Didn't even stop . A four top arrives. P is at their table in 2.5 seconds with menus and cutlery. Well dayum. Why don't we have anything? We see our waitress waiting on the table next to us. She takes the orders of the two older gentlemen making small talk even. No worries. What she did next should have told me how this whole experience was going to go. She brought the menus from their table to our table. Ummmmm, I don't know what cruds they could have had. Then asked what we wanted to drink. Ma'am! We just got menus. She returns with our water. Asks if we are ready to order. Ma'am' we just got these menus. We place our orders. I ask her name. Like you rolled up on us and didn't even introduce yourself. Jasmine takes our order. Food comes out faster than expected. Great! That's where it begins to go downhill. Jasmine never brought cutlery to our table. We had to ask and wait longer than I think it should have taken. Mind you I saw how P was working her table. Jasmine checked on the gentlemen several times. A family sat at a table on the other side of them. She was speedy with their service. More on that later. The gentlemen leave. Mind you Jasmine hasn't come back to our table at all. Wait once after we got all our food. That's how we go cutlery. I've drank my glass of Diet Pepsi. Would be nice to get a refill. She comes back with a wet rag to wipe off the table where the gentleman sat THEN asks if we need anything. I ask for a Diet Pepsi refill. Bae is in the bathroom and I let her know that he wasn't satisfied with his meal. She just looked like "oh, okay". No server should ever want to hear this. We did not ask for a manager. Meanwhile across the restaurant P has already served and turned that four top. Recall they were sat after us. As I continued to look around other tables were getting soda refills. AND I saw piping hot food delivered. Bae's eggs weren't piping hot. I mean "steam" was coming off these other plates. Bae came back to the table as I was telling Jasmine he wasn't happy with his food. We went there for French toast. He ate one piece. Half his eggs and half his potatoes. He asked for the check. This is after I'd asked for my refill. So I asked again. Jasmine brings out all the food for that family's table. She even brings. An extra plate. Looks over and must have remembered our requests. In the time she went to get an extra plate I could have had a soda refill which I really wanted to drink my soda in the restaurant as I finished my meal. She instead brings it in a to go cup. Fine but had she been more attentive I would have had a refill at the table. Enough about the mid level service. In case you're wondering Bae did tip her 15%. His food did not arrive piping hot. I didn't get a refill. We had to ask for cutlery and watch everyone else around us get better service even those in our section. No, the restaurant wasn't packed but patrons steadily flowed in. We shouldn't have been there for as long as we were. The food? Not terrible except the meat to bread ratio in the patty melt (see photo). Thin party. It was very tasty. I enjoy a good patty melt don't expect the meat to be that thin. The grits? Ouch! Not a lick of salt in the cooking liquid. If you do have salt in the water, please double it. Once I added salt they tasted fine. Bae didn't complain about the coffee so I will say that was fine. Bae says we're not going back to this location. Which is disappointing since it's a short drive and one of few places that serves regular degular French toast. I knew Jake's on Wendover and Downtown would be packed due to GHOE. The Battleground location was busy and getting overflow from the place up the street from them where we went first so we didn't stop there. As we were leaving Jasmine was already talking to the new patrons at the table where those gentleman were sitting. They hadn't been there two minutes whereas we easily waited five minutes before being acknowledged. I'm not saying don't go to Jake's. By all means give them a shot. They have been a Greensboro staple for decades! Our experience this time was less than 4 stars. That's all.

    The servers were minimally friendly and not very outgoing or seemed interested in their work. They…read moregreeted, but didn't smile, yet seemed genuine with their closing as we left. Ordering seemed to take longer than it should given the technology involved. A hand-held payment system was used to take the order. I'm not in a hurry to order, but if I want the bacon breakfast platter with scrambled eggs with cheese, a biscuit, hash browns, and side of French toast, why can't I say that? Nooooo, I (and everyone) had to wait for the server to go through the prompts on their screen. My order was simple though: a bowl of chicken noodle soup and a side of broccoli casserole. The server had to check if there was soup, and there was, but for some reason, it was the last thing to arrive at the table, and it was minutes behind everyone else's meal. I'm talking my friend already finished their burger late. While I waited for the soup, I ate the broccoli casserole. It has potential. I'm not sure if I got the bad part of the pan or what. It was mostly dried up cracker topping and a huge slice of melted Kraft-like American cheese slice. If you know the flavor, you know the flavor. It didn't work here and nearly spit out the bite. The inside, however, very good, yet mushy and not creamy-cheesy. Now, I've said it's impossible to screw up chicken noodle soup. I mentioned that in another review, too, but I really should stop saying that. This one was bad. Not inedible, just lacked flavor and was a sloppy, goopy mess. The noodles were cooked to mushy-mush, there wasn't much chicken, and the vegetables were canned Veg-All. No celery, no onion, and more corn than anything else. And potatoes because who knows why? The broth, though yellow, tasted like nothing. The soup was better with the saltine. I didn't eat much of the soup because it was such an unenjoyable experience to eat. Sweet tea tasted like it was unsweetened with sugar added, and yes, that's wrong, sweet tea is made with sugar while it's still brewing, not after the fact.

At this point, they know my face and my favorite bartender Dame is usually there. The atmosphere is lovely and most times they have jazz or R&B playing. Like I said before, it's always at a good volume and never too loud. I haven't been for brunch in a while but when I go on Thursdays, they have a special for whiskey and bourbon and also wine. It very laid back, however, I still suggest making a reservation as it came get busy out of nowhere. I've seen it happen. The last time I went I tried the Red Snapper bites which came with rice, Caribbean cabbage and olives. I can't stand olives (its a texture thing) but it wasn't on it at all, it came on the side which I thoroughly appreciated. Everything else was spectacular. I also let Dame make me a drink and I often will say "Bartender's Choice" which means they can create whatever they want based on what flavor profile I like. I'm not sure what the drink was but it was delicious and strong. I only needed 1 that night. The service is always great and it feels like you're catching up with old friends. Although, not pictured, I have tried the shrimp and grits, fried cauliflower, and crab dip with toast points. All are very good. This is one of my favorite spots that feels like my own version of Cheers. If you are in the area, check this place out. Wonderful food, wonderful vibes, and amazing staff.

Today I stopped in for a to go order, but next time I plan on enjoying the patio with my pup Ziggy and try one of their burgers. I ordered the Madison Avenue which is a croissant smeared with honey walnut cream cheese, smoked turkey, and granny smith apples. My side was slaw and I also ordered fries with a side of ranch. Upon walking in the place appeared clean, the customer service, not the best. But maybe someone was having a bad day, I get it. I'm so glad I did check my bag before I left because they did not give me ranch or plasticware, man I would have missed out on some amazing ranch. The young man gave me three ranches which I'm so disappointed I only grabbed one. Unfortunately I didn't get the best pictures but the food tasted great. The fries were thick cut (probably frozen) and let me tell you, I would just come back for the ranch! They have my favorite restaurant ranch. The slaw was really tasty - good ole southern sweet mayonnaise slaw, not too vinegary. The sandwich, not bad, good combo of toppings, they paired well together. I' ll be back. Anyone want to go for a patio lunch? Ciao for now
