One chilly Saturday afternoon, I met up with a friend for brunch. Seated at table #13, had the nicest waitress with red retro glasses and we were seated in a booth made for like a Seinfeld plotline. The kind of place where you're served large humongous platters of food with condiments (jelly, sugar, and syrup). I had the jackson breakfast special which included waffles, scrambled eggs, toast, two sizeable sausages, a small amount of hash browns and unlimited coffee for around $18 as I write this review. While the atmosphere is bustling, and the aisles are tiny, the welcoming vibes can't be beat. The waffle was lightly sweetened and the toast was buttered but I really liked the sausage. A great place to catch up with an old friend that you haven't seen in ages and catch up over many cups of coffee. read more

Jackson House - Two sausages next to hash browns over scrambled eggs. - Diners Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

Ate here today for dinner during my day off from work as a paraprofessional due to Election Day and not working seasonally for the polls this year to do professional development asynchronously at home instead. I got lentil soup and then rib eye steak cooked medium that it tasted quite good and delicious. The service there was also efficient and super fast that I felt rushed to get meals since it's about to be closed for the day. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time. read more

Jackson House is a gem! Jackson house is a cozy diner with all the staples. I really enjoyed the vibe of an old diner and menu filled with any diner food you can want (with pictures of the dishes like a true diner lol). The service was super quick and friendly, despite being busy on a Sunday afternoon. The food was fresh and I was pleasantly surprised to see an impossible burger on the menu! My friend had the platter with 2 eggs, sausage, toast, and hash browns. She said they were delicious! Of note, egg dishes currently have an upcharge given current egg prices and the economy lol. Overall, this place is a classic, amazing diner with affordable dishes and fresh food. I will definitely be returning :) read more

Jackson House - Impossible burger - Diners Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

I am so impressed with this local gem! I love retro diners and this one is perfect! Always remember to get Challah french toast! My friend (Thanks, Ben L.!) and I met here for weekend breakfast. I got the hot cup of coffee which is a classic. We ordered the following dishes to share: Jackson House Breakfast and the Bacon Cheeseburger with fries! Both of these dishes were perfect and I had no bad remarks! Jackson House Breakfast, we got scrambled eggs, breakfast sausage, home fries, challah french toast, and toast with butter on the side. Everything on this plate was so delicious especially the challah french toast - this was my favorite part! The challah french toast was so fluffy and flavorful in the middle and probably my favorite french toast ever! The breakfast sausage was very unique, it's the fat sausages. It has a nice crisp on the outside and meaty inside. Bacon Cheeseburger, this was a delicious burger! The burger patty had nice grilled marks on it and I loved the charred flavor. Fries on the side was crispy and not oily at all! How did they do this? I can't wait to come back! read more

I have surprisingly never stepped inside this diner despite working only a couple of blocks from here. It is not the most nicest looking diner I have been to but the food speaks for itself. Our server was so lovely and attentive which made the breakfast experience great. She made sure we had all we needed and that our coffee was always filled. The western omelette was tasty and was a decent size. The home fries were seasoned well. I know these are basic breakfast items but they were very tasty. What really impressed me the most was the service and I would completely be returning for that reason. read more

Updated the below review, revised wording and expounded upon some of the content. After months of eating here practically daily, it comes with a heavy heart that I must find a new go-to restaurant. I really wanted to like this place, but too often the food isn't right. It might be that some of their cooks just aren't very good at cooking. The final straw came today when I ordered an omelette cooked soft. What I first received was an over cooked omelette with way too much cheese. I quickly pointed out my concerns and with the next omelette that arrived the waitress stated "here's a soft omelet". I sensed that something wasn't right and after a couple of bites I realized it was woefully undercooked, during my last bite when I could feel part of it drooling out of my mouth I had had enough. Did anyone come to ask how the food was, no. When I clearly wasn't eating any more, they asked if I wanted it to go and I indicated I did not, they again didn't bother to ask if I was happy with my meal. Instead I was charged full price for the rather disgusting food. I left there completely disappointed with an upset stomach. A few things about my overall experience: 1. the food quality is hit or miss 2. For several dishes, the amount they're cooked, their flavor, and the ingredients used aren't ideal, but by providing instructions they can usually make it right the next time. 3. I've only complained twice, the first time I tried to just eat the food but as I reached the halfway point I realized I couldn't stomach another bite. When I complained I was advised that I should have complained sooner. So the second time I complained, I quickly informed my waitress, but the experience was rather uncomfortable. I had to reinforce two or three times that the eggs are overcooked and then showed them on my phone a picture of what the omelette should look like (ironically, it was the omelette that was served to me during my previous visit) and the responses I received from them weren't positive - I expect better. Previous Review from three months ago: Five star review This place is fast becoming my go to American diner for all things diner related. This was my second visit and both times they did not disappoint. The first time they made me a delicious omelet that had fresh sliced avocados, cheese, and few other wonderful tasting items. On todays visit I had the Jackson House Combo platter and everything was very tasty. Both times I ordered coffee and they kept it topped off without having to ask (I never had an empty cup). The service was fast and friendly and my food came out quick. Definitely coming back again. read more

I use to enjoy eating here.. i came in one day with my husband and I ordered a club sandwich with veggies, the waitress looked at me like I ordered something disgusting ( I ignored that). This sandwich is not on the menu but they usually accommodate with no problem. She said she would ask the kitchen if they can make it and let me know. I said that was fine since she had never taken my order. As im waiting I decide to ask her for orange juice she stayed quiet then bursted out laughing and said they didn't have orange juice so i kind of looked confused then she walked away and whispered something into another waiters ear and laughed. I was so confused.. idk if she was trying to be funny either way it came off as rude, awkward & was uncalled for. She then came back with the orange juice and told us they were unable to make my sandwich and acted as if she did not understand what we were asking for. (Toast, mushroom,lettuce, & tomato) Anyways we asked to pay for the juice and left, the whole experience just annoyed us and ruined our mood. The waitress was a blond older lady. read more

We usually order ours to go, but have gone here for years. Excellent soups (Monday's split pea is the best), my husband loves the burgers (especially bison), & the people there are super pleasant. Nice old-school vibe. read more

THE BEST DINER IN JACKSON HOUSE!!! nice staff, amazing food, and clean environment! Love it, would 10000% recommend

Service was excellent however the food itself could have been better. I went in for breakfast after work so I was starving. I ordered an omelet, home fries, and toast. The omelet could have been better, the vegetables were cut way too thick so they were warm on the outside and cold on the inside, and no seasoning at all. Home fries were seasoned well but once again fried crisp outside inside cold. Toast was perfect. I ate the eggs and toast because as I said I was starving but I was disappointed because I didn't think you could mess up an omelet order. The service was wonderful. I was immediately greeted, the waitresses were super friendly and attentive and noting my disappointment they tried to offer additional items but I wanted out. I went early so it was not busy, it was only my table and 2 others. There was ample staff, I think it's just poor quality food. read more

I wanted something simple and glad I came in here. The service and staff were very friendly. The food came quite fast and I think this will be my go to place for breakfast. The older gentleman who I guess might be the owner knew the ladies at the counter by name? His son was also very friend (kinda cute too) read more

Jackson House - I wanted something simple and decided to give this place a try. I'm glad I came in. This might be my usual breakfasts spot. - Diners Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

Food is good and the servers are all very nice. Reasonable prices. Packed on Sunday mornings.

Completely surprised by the quality of food and service here. Unassuming restaurant from the outside; typical diner setup inside. Saturday morning, easily able to accommodate a group of four. As soon as we sat down, they took our drink orders, then gave us the menus. After looking through the monstrosity of options, settled on the Open Steak Sandwich ($15.50), Short Stack of chocolate chip banana pancakes ($6), and a coffee ($2). Pancakes are moist from the bananas, plus just the right amount of chocolate chips that the syrup wasn't necessary. My steak sandwich was gigantic - with several tender cuts of beef places on top of tasted bread and served with fresh-cooked fries. Meat is cooked properly and I didn't need any extra sauce; was hoping for some cheese on top though it wasn't much of an issue. Fries are perfect, not overcooked at all. Love the service here as our waitress was extremely nice and they give out free coffee refills. Wish this spot stayed open later, though an easy pick for breakfast moving forward. read more

I just ordered delivery and it was delicious and a lot of food. The Reuben sandwich was really good and enough for two. They had 7-layer cake, which was fresh and outstanding. I was able to pay by credit card directly and delivery was very fast. I used to eat in the restaurant, and they were always friendly. Breakfasts are good, especially waffles, omelettes, and sausage. Many things are good, a few are a bit under-seasoned. I also enjoy the chicken croquets, chef salad, and club sandwiches. read more

I have been eating here for more than ten years, and this place is a local gem. The diversity of Jackson Heights is often visible inside this restaurant. There is a steady crowd of regulars, most of them from the neighborhood. Most of the staff are fully bilingual in both Spanish and English. Sometimes there are large boisterous parties, and the occasionally ill-behaved children are just part of the flavor of the hood. The personable and funny waitresses, most of them middle-aged and Latinx, are an absolute delight. I can think specifically of Candi, Erika, and Rosa. If you come in a few times, they will get to know you quickly and know what your regular orders are. This place is very popular during peak times, primarily for Saturday and Sunday in the breakfast and brunch time frame; expect it to be crowded, and possibly even a short wait if you go at that time. . They maintain reasonable prices and serve consistently good food, focusing on New York-style diner staples and Greek dishes. The burgers, omelets, and sandwiches will not disappoint. Their house-roasted turkey is excellent and in fact, several of their turkey offerings, including the hot open turkey sandwich, are outstanding. Also outstanding is the cream of turkey soup, sadly available only on Sundays. And actually, all of their soups are consistently delicious, including chicken noodle, Yankee bean, lentil, and split pea on different days. They are very good with Covid protocols; don't go in without your vaccine card, they won't care if you left it at home. The evening hours may be different from those listed here (having adjusted slightly after Covid). read more

Went for brunch today $20 for a Bloody Mary in a 12 oz glass. No celery included. Mimosas $10 with seltzer water. If you want champagne it's $15 in small glass that wasn't even filled. Food is good but not spectacular. Way overpriced. I would suggest if you want brunch, spend a little extra here but do not order any beverages with alcohol read more

Great , fast service , good food. Owners real nice and friendly. The shining star here is Rosa. She's wonderful ! So genuinely , sunny , cheerful and made you glad to be there. She was quick, so full of sunshine and made me feel at home. And did I say the food was great???!! I recommend for a quick breakfast. Haven't tried the lunch but if breakfast was an indication I'd bet it's as good. read more

So far the burgers are a win. We usually get medium and medium well and it's delicious. Crispy fries and the best pickles! read more

Great small diner in the heart of Jackson Heights. It is small so it might be a little difficult to get a table right away as it does get crowded. Staff is super friendly and give you that cozy at home vibe. I went for breakfast and had a pepper and tomato omelet with home fries. It was good. I hope to come back one day to try other things from their menu. read more

Have you ever been to a restaurant that made you question whether to eat or run for your life? But felt bad for what you assume will be bad for the local business so you stay and ingest the food and hope your healthy body fights whatever was not suppose to be on your food? Not returning!! In need of some serious renovation!!..Had to keep my eyes on the food so I could digest it...the food was tasty and edible #surprised Tip: order to go, maybe the owner will notice a trend and renovate read more

I was looking for a close breakfast place while in NY. I sat down and waited around 20 minutes before someone bothered to serve me. The place was not crowded...at all. Finally a drink and an order. The food was average as the cooks and my waitress made small talk with the locals. Waitress wasn't very attentive - never be fooled with just one person - and basically gave more attention to the group of four that entered about 30 minutes after I sat down. read more

Jackson House reminds me of the chain - Waffle House. As soon as you walk into this diner in the Jackson Heights area, you're smacked in the face with a very strong smell of waffles. YUM! The place also has an open kitchen - so you can watch them cook (which is a big plus for me!) Highlights of the meal include their veggie burgers, fries, and french toast. Their veggie patty seemed homemade. Their fries are very crispy.. reminds me of a little bit like the crust on curly fries. French toast had a very soft core. YUM! So if you've had a crazy night out on the town, this place has great diner food to help you pass your hangover. read more

I've passed by this diner thousands of times but never went in. I was craving some comfort food, with such good ratings...I had to check it out. After an appt. in the area, we stopped in for lunch. We ordered the french toast with sausages, bacon burger deluxe and the eggplant parmigiana. Yeah we ordered a lot for just the two of us. =D The food came fairly quick. L loved his french toast, I had a bite - brought back memories... I haven't had french toast in decades. The sausages were typical breakfast sausages - I didn't try them. I had a few bites of the burger, pretty good, simple burger. The fries were crispy and really tasty. My eggplant was tender with a nice crispy breading, huge amount of cheese. The spaghetti that comes along with it was your basic tomato sauce... Not horrible, but doesn't come close to my own. Portions are quite generous, I took most of my food home. Our waitress was very nice, I love it when everyone is efficient at their job. They took away our empty plates asap. Our coffee cups were filled just as fast. Great service. Will definitely come back to check out the rest of the menu when I need to be in the area. read more

Great burger and friendly service... real old school Diner. Definitely recommend and we will be back soon.

I have only had breakfast here. Western omelet with sausages and home fries. Very good but not cheap.

Wow, the food brought me back 25 years. I have seen this place forever and never knew it was a diner, I always thought it was a old fart hang out. When I was younger, there was a diner not far away called Mark Twain Diner and the food here makes me think of that place. This place has been around for 20 years and I am so happy that I came in. I always think breakfast at a diner is the way to go and this place is no different. And for the record, it's kinda a old fart hangout, I was the youngest person by at least 40 years and I ain't young! lol The food: Jackson House Breakfast Combo- I ordered two sunny side up eggs, sausage, home fries and waffles. This is kinda the everything on a plate kinda of a dish and I was more than pleased with what I got. There is something very apparent about old school diners that cannot be replicated in new diners. The eggs were cooked properly and the yolk was perfectly runny. The sausage is what brought back the most memory. The sausage they use is very old school, these are the thicker links that have a great crunch on the outside and nice juicy texture on the inside. These are my fav type of breakfast sausage. The home fries were good, but I just wish there was some type of char on the potato for a contrast in texture. The waffle was just OK for me, it was limp and I like my waffles crunchy and this was not. http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=HXuV8k9Cj44q17849jIhGA&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA read more

Hmmm...it's clean inside and also has a welcoming waitstaff. I don't need much at a diner, but I did find it pleasant in here. I have a burger craving and wound up here right after a walk with my hub. We both ordered burger deluxes. Mine was a cheeseburger deluxe, his was a buffalo burger deluxe. I have to say our meals came pretty quickly and also the items were nicely presented on the plate. We also got rice puddings and decaf coffee to round out the evening with some dessert. On the menu, there are many options, like spaghetti, lasagna, sandwiches, spinach pie, and some Greek specialities. Awesome! The only thing I was a bit sad about was that this place closes kind of early around 8:30 pm on a Sunday and of course i work really late on the weekends. Yep, I would definitely come back. read more

conveniently located across the street from my bother's apt is this diner that I often frequent when I'm in town. On my most recent visit I sat at one of the stools and ordered an egg white veggie omelet since I've been trying to be fake healthy. I also had a side of hashed browns and wheat toast. The portion size was huge and I stuffed myself by eating every bit off the plate. the gentleman behind the counter made sure my glass of water was always filled and even filled my glass one last time for the road as I was getting ready to stand up. It isn't very fancy inside but the service is great and the food is delicious. I will continue to come here every time I come back to my brother's place. read more

This is one of my go to places in Jackson Heights. It has been a neighborhood staple ever since I can remember. I highly recommend their burgers, their souvlaki chicken pita, and their healthy burger option; a turkey burger with a side of cottage cheese. Yum yum yum!

Today was the first time I ordered over the phone for delivery and the food came hot and fresh in under 20 mins! read more
