Bill before tip
Elizabeth L.

Tried Jake's for the first time but unfortunately we were less than impressed. I ordered the Lisbon omelet which consists of Portuguese hash. But what i got was a well made omelet but their version of hash is not the usual tastiness I'm accustomed to. I actually had to add salt since the hash was just mashed up (saltfree?) chorico; my hashbrowns were unseasoned cubes of potatoes with zero love so they were left lonely along with the chourico I scraped out of my omelet. My husband ordered the lumberjack and enjoyed it but subbed out his hashbrowns for beans that were very burnt tasting. The coffee was weak and lukewarm. The diner itself is great, very nostalgic which can stir up fond memories for us older folk. The inside temp was very comfortable. It seemed cleanish; Bathroom needs professional cleaning, borderline gross. Our waitress was in more of a robot mode since she was probably on her feet since early morning. We waited over 20 mins and our food came out the same time as those who had just placed order. Maybe it was an off day or had my order been different I might have given another star.

Step back in time in this hometown diner! Friendly greetings upon entering make you feel comfortable and invited. The food is fresh and filling with huge portions! The coffee is life! The cook is super efficient! Definitely recommend checking these guys out for breakfast but bring your appetite! They also serve lunch and dinner on certain days.

I love a diner and we walked in and waited 5 minutes !!!! Everyone was so pleasant and the place is packed with townies. I ask the server what to get and they steered me away from the obligatory steak & eggs and said her this omelette with Cacoila is a pork meat and it comes with a sweet au jus !! The grilled English muffins was a nice touch ! Shelly was the best and got both orders quick and the coffee is ok and Shelly has a great smile and kept us happy My buddy got a regular omelette and both breakfasts were 20 bucks ..... so affordable and good

Traditional diner atmosphere with a very good looking menu! Lots of options! We got the Portuguese Benny and Hash and Roll Benny with a single crepe. Very tasty but the potatoes could be cooked a little more, that's the ONLY reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5. Waitress was very friendly and enlightened us when we inquired about the age of the diner. It's been here since the 80's!

Very good place for breakfast! The diner has plenty of seating, clean and nostalgic. I had the hungry man special and it was good. Service was fantastic. She was very nice! Prices are comparable for breakfast food in the area.

The food here is great as are waitstaff and cleanliness. I had the chicken croquettes w/supreme…read moresauce, mashed potatoes, grilled roll, cranberry sauce and coleslaw. Took half home. I try coleslaw all the time and this is just the right combo. Not swimming in dressing and not dry. I had a choice of a good variety of sides. Richard had the wimpy burger (huge!) w/crispy fries. Everything here appears to be homemade. A great variety of side dishes, too. Creative specials along w/their regular menu items.They have smaller plate meals, too. Prices reasonable as far as restaurants go these days Saw a lot of breakfast and lunch/dinner food go by and tons of take out orders being picked up. Good amount of parking spaces. Noticed a BBQ building next door, think it is for special parties. It gets crowded here but if you time it right, you will get in. We got here at 11:30. They serve all sorts of drinks, beer, wine along w/the usual diner style ice cream offerings. We will be back.

Big footprint of a diner, more in the New Jersey style than the Worcester dining car style, but…read moreshiny of chrome and red seats, with the typical 1950s memorabilia. Someone must have passed a law mandating diners to have Elvis, Marilyn, and Betty Boop on the walls. Comfortable digs, outdoor dining to boot, and extremely welcoming and friendly staff. -- Blueberry Muffin: My wife and I shared a breakfast "appetizer," grilled with butter by default. Would've been nice to have been asked, but not a problem. Mid-range density, with equal amounts of sweetness and butter in the dough, discernible even under the butter from grilling. Not life changing, but solid and satisfying. -- Omelettes: We each got our own, with mine a western and my wife's a build-your-own with assorted vegetables. Both were huge, with the add-ons tucked neatly inside and the egg surfaces, smooth and heaping. Home fries matched this impressive portion and came in uncrisp outside, very soft and fluffy inside, and seasoned but not oniony. Toast was toast, but many varieties to choose from. Coffee refills came regularly, cheerfully, and without the need to ask. Food overall was good-- definitely better than adequate, though with no life changing surprises. Service was outstanding, nailing the 4 overall.

South Street Diner was one of the few places open that early, so I decided to give it a try. Parking was easy at that hour, and I thought it was kind of cool seeing a classic diner tucked in among all the large office buildings downtown. I was in the mood for pancakes and ended up ordering the diner special with eggs over medium, home fries, corned beef hash, bacon, and pancakes. Unfortunately, the food was mostly average to below average. The eggs were a little underdone, the home fries were slightly overcooked in spots, and the toast was pretty standard diner fare. The homemade salsa was actually a nice touch and added some flavor to the potatoes. The biggest disappointment was the corned beef hash. I was hoping for something homemade, but it reminded me of the canned version I grew up eating. The texture and flavor just weren't for me, and I ended up leaving most of it behind. The pancakes were okay but a little dense and doughy, nothing particularly memorable. On the positive side, the coffee was decent, the service was fine, and being open early is definitely a plus for travelers. Overall, I'd put this one close to 3 stars. It's convenient if you need breakfast before sunrise, but the food didn't quite live up to what I was hoping for.
