In A Nutshell: -Jackie's Diner is the type of mom & pop diner you think of when you want to enjoy great food w/ great service at a great price in small town USA. -Located off Highway 29 in Gloversville in Upstate New York, you will find this gem. -I ordered, "The Route Twenty Niner" breakfast which consisted of 3 eggs, home fries, corned beef hash & toast for only $9.50! -If you look at their menu you will see many affordable prices like we went back in time before inflation. -The corned beef hash was so darn good, I highly recommend it. Overall, the service is really top-notch here, so friendly w/ much needed humor in today's world. I love Jackie's Diner!!!

A solid dive with a decent diner menu. Best I can figure is the people complaining are high maintenance city slickers. It's a diner.... Friendly staff and good food.

Hard and chewy pancakes undercooked Hashbrowns.

Absolute garbage! we thought we'd give it a second chance a year later, but that was a mistake. Nothing was prepared properly eggs were undercooked as well as the hashbrowns both swimming in grease. Pancakes were tougher than my tires but not as tasty. Avoid this please.

These are the fries I was served. Smelled of nasty old fryer oil. Like seriously?? Wtf is wrong with this place? Wtf is wrong with the "chef" to plate this and what's up with the waitress to even serve this to me?? You can not ignore the smell of that and then to ask if I wanted a box? Yea. OK. This place is shit people. Just don't waste your money. They can't even make fries. Also, the breaded mushrooms were disgusting and frozen obviously, their mash must be from a box, turkey dinner was just bad... like the best thing was the store bought chips people. Don't waste your money here. This place should be shut down if this is the garbage they put out. *picture included*

We visited Jackie's Diner twice while we were vacationing at a nearby ADK town. The first meal I had (pictured) was perfect. I asked for blueberry pancakes with 2 eggs over medium, bacon and potatoes. Husband had a cheese omelet. Delish. No complaints at all. Went back a few days later, got the same exact order and you'd think we were at a totally different place. They forgot to add the blueberries, some of my bacon was still rubbery/pink and the potatoes were cut so large they were undercooked as well. I told our waitress (who was wonderful btw) and asked for some blueberries on the side. To my dismay, they were not fresh blueberries. I received very small pea-sized frozen ones with almost no taste. Pass. Kind of surprised she'd even considering serving them as acceptable but maybe that's just me. Apparently "Steven" was the cook that day and that was his third mistake already (as overheard by the waitstaff discussing the issue I made them aware of) . My husband had the same omelet and said it was fine but his potatoes were undercooked as well. If I were to rate Jackie's based in our first experience, it would be totally different than if I rated it purely in the 2nd. All in all, it really comes down to who's behind the griddle that day I guess. Besides the food inconsistencies, the waitstaff is attentive and considerate (I was not charged for the blueberries) and the atmosphere is small town, laid back and welcoming. I'd go back and give them another chance if we're back in the area again but Steven needs more training.

Stop and eat here!!! You can't beat the price and the food is excellent! The service is friendly and efficient. The WiFi is free. The dining areas are large and comfortable.

The Bacon grilled cheese is incredible!
Malerie O.

Fantastic food! The service for lunch has been very slow, even thou there isn't very many people there to eat. It takes forever to get your check and pay once so you can get back to work. But the food has been incredibly good!

Best food I have had out in a long time!!…read more Great service and they made us feel at home.

I was tossed between four or five stars. Not only was the food delicious, but the atmosphere was…read moreinviting and comfortable, the service was excellent, and I'm hoping others will also discover this off the beaten path location so that it continues as a successful restaurant. We had 6pm reservations for a party of four, arrived about ten minutes early and were seated immediately. The other couple in our party had previously been here and were curious if what they ordered then would be on the menu again. Apparently, the menu is updated weekly. Starting out with cocktails, I know everyone was happy with what they were served. I certainly enjoyed my pint of Coffee Stout, and my wife was pleased with the lavender non-alcoholic cocktail they concocted for her. Because the servings being delivered to other tables appeared to be quite large, we decided to pass on appetizers, in spite of some of the apps sounding rather unique, e.g., Crispy Deviled Eggs, Open Faced Fried Pork Wantons, and Fried Carbonara. My wife was tossed between a Beet Salad with Scallops and the Pistachio Encrusted Chilean Sea Bass. At our server's recommendation she chose the Sea Bass. It was served with corn puree, confit potatoes (which my wife especially enjoyed), and roasted tomatoes. I'll get to enjoy the leftovers. I was trying to make up my mind between the Duck Pot Pie and the Chestnut Mushroom & Boursin Stuffed Tomahawk Pork Chop when our sever alerted us that there were only two servings left of the Pork Chop. I promptly claimed one of them! I am so glad I did. It was an amazingly delicious and well prepared dish. The pork had a slight pinkish color, just as I like it, the meat was so tender and flavorful, the stuffing had a crisped surface from the oven or salamander, everything was wrapped in tasty pancetta, the smashed potatoes were creamy and delicious, a white wine truffle sauce added another level of flavor, and even the carrot spears had the right level of firmness. I can affirm that my leftovers were equally enjoyable. We were not as lucky in having advance notice of the limited availability of a limoncello pie dessert, so my wife and I shared a slice of Banana Cookie Dough Pie. OMG! That was sooooo delicious. It was light, creamy, and not overly sweet. A real treat with the good coffee they serve. That pie along with something from their Lighter Menu, like a burger, would send you home in ecstasy without putting much of a dent in your wallet. Our bill for the party of four having one round of drinks, entrees, and desserts was about $250. Taking the whole dining experience into account, it was a very fair value. But wait! I have more to share with you. On Saturday nights live entertainment is provided by an excellent keyboard player adding to the inviting dinner experience and atmosphere. Great live, unobtrusive, background music is always a plus at dinner. Got a request? Art Mozeik will likely oblige. Even if you'd like to hear a song on an accordion instead of his keyboard. Find your way to Broadalbin, N.Y. for dinner. You won't be disappointed.

I've driven past this place a bunch of times. There's always people dining outside, particularly…read morewomen of various ages. They always look as though they're having fun. This time as I drove by, I had a friend and my dog riding along with me. Would they let us have dinner outside with my dog? I pulled up and walked into the restaurant to ask. Sure. We could sit at the high picnic tables near the front lawn. It was a nice, relaxing setting. Our server was Juliet, a very nice and helpful young woman. I ordered a Rustic Mule which was really a Moscow Mule and a Turkey Reuben with garlic mashed potatoes. My friend ordered a half pound burger with Dirty Fries. The food was delicious. We had a great time. I couldn't finish my meal. I ate half and took the rest home. Too bad. I was hoping to make it to dessert. The restaurant is famous for some sort of ice cream "flavor bomb," which I'll have to try next time. The dog, meanwhile, got a nibble of turkey from my sandwich and then sat down beside me. Juliet said the dog was so quiet she almost forgot the dog was there.

Definitely deserves more than a 4.1. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of food, even…read morethough we didn't know a lot about the place.
