    Tried the Crab Cake Benedict, French Toast, and Joe's Scrambles. Generous portions which make the prices reasonable. Crab Cake Benedict has the traditional hollandaise sauce. Sauce had slight lemony flavor. Crab cake was pretty thick. Giving it 3 of 5 stars. Joe's Scrambles did not skimp on ingredients. Scrambled eggs with ground beef, mushroom, bell peppers, onions and cheese. 4/5 stars. Came with your choice of potatoes, choice of toast and a wedge of cantaloupe. The French Toast came with eggs, bacon, and country sausage for additional $3. French Toast was standard but the country sausage was special. Two sausage patties that look like small hamburger patties; soo good. Best sausage I've had; combo of slight sweetness, saltiness and peppery. French toast was 3/5 but the Sausage patties were great; 5/5. Looked like they made them in house. Country potatoes side was good too. Good portion and we'll seasoned. We showed up around 10:00am and got a table right away. By the time it's 11:00am, there's a line. Staff were very nice and quick.

    Veggie omelet

    Had high hopes for this place. Service was quick. Food was kind of bland but was ables to spice it up with salsas and Tapatio. Water had a weird taste to it. I believe its the same owners as when it was Jack's cafe? Seemed like the same menu. Been there do e that is how I felt when we left.

    Lots of breakfast options and lunch options. I got the vegetarian omelet with potatoes and sourdough toast. It was good, not much flavor. Loaded it up with hot sauce and pepper. The service was good. Interesting decor Summer Christmas vibe. My grandson got the chicken and waffles and he wasn't too impressed as my husband got the chorizo quesadilla. Everything was okay, not very flavorful, bland tasting. The water had a funny taste, like perhaps tap water and not filtered. Reading the menu I was excited about trying the food, but it did not impressed with the food.

    This place was an unexpected, pleasant surprise! I had no idea it existed. I came here Friday for a late breakfast. The atmosphere is welcoming and festive. Lots of menu options and different genres of food. We started with 3 of their blackberry scones (reminded me of beignets). They weren't overly sweet and were perfect to share. I opted for the chilaquiles with green sauce and added the ranchera. Absolutely phenomenal! And a huge portion I barely put a dent in mine. We also ordered the t-bone breakfast which was also massive. I had to try their michelada. Made to perfect. Not too saucy, just a good amount. Definitely want to come back and try some other items. Thank you!

    Joe's Special
    Robert M.

    I met a friend for breakfast this morning. Had a wonderful meal he got the Joe's special, and I selected the Cajun Benedict! WOW. The Cajun sausage made the dish. If you like really flavorful with a light spice kick, you should try this dish. I love the size of the coffee mugs...makes you feel like you are at home. The ambience is open and inviting with booths and adequate tables without feeling jam-packed or over crowded. Really a relaxing good meal. Go give it a try..

    We found this restaurant since the other place we wanted to go to was closed. I have never heard of them, but they have really good reviews so we checked them out. After parking, there were two doors/exits. We came in from the side and had to walk around to the front. There were a lot of people so we got on the waitlist. There is plenty of space inside to sit and wait. It's a lot larger on the inside than I expected with many tables so the wait was not too long. Once we were seated, we got our drink orders in and the server came to greet us. They had a lot on the menu so it took a bit to look through everything. I got the pancake combo and it was good. They gave me scrambled eggs instead of over medium eggs, and the server was quick to get the kitchen to make the correct eggs. I would love to try other items on the menu because it all looks really good. The atmosphere was decorated for Christmas, and there was a mural on the wall. It felt very cozy like you're being welcomed into someone's home for a meal. It does get very loud since they have so many tables and it is all one large open space. To pay, we go up to the counter. Overall, I am glad we found this place! The service and food were good. Definitely will come back and try other items on the menu.

    Fresh squeezed OJ was a +. Service was fast, good recommendations and honest answers about selections. You want breakfast or lunch, probably a great place to visit. Inside is clean, plenty of tables and places to sit. I was there for a quick meeting and it wasn't too loud. Fair prices.

    Was back in town for the holidays and visited Jack's Coffee House in Sparks. Not too far from downtown and has a variety of options for any pallet, great portions with reasonable prices. No problem getting seated on a Wednesday morning. Our server quickly brought our drinks, offered us the specials and some clarifications on a few dishes. Coffee was fresh as well as the OJ. All meals were served very hot and prepared with love. Everything was great. Our server checked up on us frequently but allowed us space to talk and enjoy our meal. Restaurant was very clean and service was awesome. I highly recommend Jack's Coffee House. They can accommodate large groups for those wanting a meal close to the holidays.

    Chilaquiles with green sauce and carne asada
    Raquel F.

    After passing by this establishment numerous times we've finally tried it out on a Sunday morning. I got the Chilaquiles with a Carne Asada on top. Chilaquiles were decent and so were rhe refried beans . My daughter had the crêpes and thought they were good . Pancakes were a little on the dry side Overall, the food was decent and service was ok. A little pricey for being a breakfast/coffee spot. We were in and out within 60 minutes. Not bad for a Sunday morning.

    Veggie Omelet
    Robert S.

    This place, despite what some people say, is one of the most amazingly well ran restaurant in the Reno Sparks area. Every time we go. The wait staff is super duper friendly. Always very helpful with dietary changes I need and also insanely quick to get the food to your table. It has always come out hot and fresh even when I go with a large group of 10+ people. My go to meal is the vegetarian omelet. So satisfying yet no meat needed. My wife gets something a little different every time. And my coworkers LOVE all of the variety they have. In fact they love this place so much we almost exclusively go here when we have some sort of company breakfast. Lots of parking outside. They get REAL busy on the weekends but like I said before....amazingly keep up with the demand in a very impressive way.

    The Mexican omlette
    Evan S.

    If i am in the area I would stop in again. Servers were all very friendly, and I really enjoyed my omlette. The branding is a little confusing as inside it is Jacobo's on the menu and cups. Thanks for breakfast!

    I had my usual clam chowder soup bowl. It was very warm and hearty breakfast. My husband had his french toast which is an all time favorite. We also added some scones. I learned they make their own scones. Fresh and really yummy. You should try it if you haven't yet.

We were pleasantly greeted & seated immediately, then just like that, our server (Ramon Jr) was at our table, took our drink order & answered a few questions. I'm glad I had perused the menu yesterday & pretty much knew what I wanted, my daughter ordered Ramon's Skillet & I had the Chicken Fried Steak and eggs ( gravy on the side). Portions were huge. I was glad cuz I had been fasting due to a medical procedure. They know what they are doing in the kitchen, eggs were perfectly over medium w/ crispy edges just the way I like them. The chicken fried steak was really Milanese style, perfectly crispy like I'm used to in Mexico, I tasted the gravy & it was really good but once I realized it wasn't American style CFS, I asked our waiter for salsa & pico to put on top!!! Perfection!! I had a lot to tangle with on my own plate but my daughter & I swapped bites of each others dishes, hers came with soft tortillas, the bite I had melted in my mouth!

Once seated, we ordered quickly and received our drinks right away. Unfortunately, nearly an hour later, we still had not received any food. We were eventually told they had new staff working in the kitchen, but no one kept us updated or explained the delay until we asked. The restaurant was only half full at 11:10 a.m. on a Sunday. We understand that new staff may need time to get settled, but waiting more than an hour for food in a half-empty restaurant--with very little communication--was disappointing. Hopefully, this was just an unusually bad day and they can get the kitchen and service back on track.

The rest of us... we didn't stand a chance against the most flavorful breakfast in town! There are so many options here at Peg's and not a single one looks to ever disappoint. Truly! Every booth was filled with groups of people and every single one was happily munching away at their plate. The service is fast and the food is hearty... so if you are stopping by, be sure to come with an appetite! I highly recommend the eggs Benedict (chorizo was my preference) or the French toast.

The only complaint is that on this particular day the kitchen was short staffed and we did wait awhile for our food to arrive, but I'm patient with these kinds of things after working in the restaurant industry for many years. So the food arrived and my eyes popped out of my head when my burger arrived, the patty was meaty and the vegetables on the burger were fresh. I chose the Mushroom Swiss burger, Wow ! Every bite was delicious and the French Fries were so crisp and delicious. I filled my belly to its limit with this meal. Oh, and my friend's omelette was unbelievable it was so fluffy and it was served steaming, every bite steam kept rising from it, it's like nothing we had ever seen, unbelievable ! As for me I probably won't be ordering a burger anywhere else. Excellent ! I did also order a Latte and it was filled to the rim and quite good. They definitely deserve 5 Stars.

Talk about vintage vibes! Because of this, it might be difficult for large groups to be accommodated all at once, or sit together. But for groups of 1-3, maybe even 4, it shouldn't be a problem. We noticed that groups of 4 took the corners, probably to make socializing easier. We were only 2 that day, so finding a spot wasn't too difficult. The good here is great.

(For reference, I'll return to a restaurant I rate a 4 but I won't return to a restaurant I rated a 3 unless someone I'm with wants to go to it). Here's what they do well: exceptionally good and friendly service, the portions are extremely generous given the already great prices, homemade flour tortillas, smooth horchata, great guac (finely diced onion and tomato in it), delicious bean and cheese burrito with great umami (love when it's salty and richly flavorful), being able to view the kitchen in action (people pay a lot of money for those teppanyaki show style dinners! lol), and frankly because they were already rated so high I figured the Yelp community can't be wrong! Here's what was less than impressive on my visit in late August 2026: my huevos rancheros sauce was bland. I could sense there was a hint of chicken bullion in the background but for the most part I felt like I was eating watered down canned tomato sauce that had been thickened with cornstarch and had a pinch of bullion. I was hoping for some acidity, some cumin, some spice-- something! But it just fell flat. I was also disappointed that there was essentially bits of raw bell pepper just thrown on top. In addition, I personally don't mind their deteriorating "ambiance" but I think it might matter to the average person searching reviews on Yelp so I gotta tell ya, it's rough inside; I'm talking exposed wood in the countertop, cracked and peeling barstool cushions (all they have is barstool seating by the way, but there's plenty of seats and they are lined up around a long counter that faces the kitchen). Now, I can't end with that for a "4" so do let me remind you of some of the good: great prices, good portions, friendly service, and lots of yelpers appear to rate them highly. My recommendation, perhaps try a burrito-- the simple bean and cheese burrito my daughter got (that I took a bite of) was fantastic.

I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich and, after taking a bite, realized I had forgotten to specify gluten-free bread. That part was absolutely my mistake, and I immediately acknowledged that when I spoke with our server. What surprised me was when the manager came over and explained that they couldn't waste the sandwich and offered to discount it if I purchased another one made with gluten-free bread. I understand food costs and that the original ordering mistake was mine, but the interaction felt unnecessarily uncomfortable over what was essentially a bread substitution on a grilled cheese. I ultimately told them not to remake it and just ate the inside of the sandwich. I wasn't expecting special treatment, but I would have appreciated a little more graciousness and customer service in how the situation was handled, especially as a first-time customer. The restaurant is clearly very popular, and I wanted to love my experience. Unfortunately, this interaction left me disappointed.
