    I ordered the grilled pork chops, potatoes, eggs with cheese & toast. Usually the grilled pork chops are very good. Today However, it was very salty. The potatoes were very salty too. I was extremely disappointed. The eggs was the only things good.

    Back to Jake's on Wendover. Service was prompt and friendly. Breakfast was good: I got the Veggie Omelette again with grits and a biscuit and some extra gravy. We thought the food was very good. They were busy but everything went smooth.

    You cannot beat the sausage egg and cheese melt combo for $11. Come with their famous hash browns and a pickle. A staple for those who need a super savory and reliable breakfast. The service is pretty good and this location was clean.

    Burger and French toast..etc

    We experienced the best service this morning at the Wendover Location! Ashley was the best and customer service was A1! The food was brought to us fresh and hot and fast! Will definitely return on our next visit to NC.

    Nice standard diner faire. I opted for a no-meat breakfast lovers plate and chose to sun in home fries for the grits. I liked that they mathed out the substitution costs right in the menu. They got the cook on my eggs right and my home fries were okay, but not amazing. It didn't seem like they seasoned the food much, but there was salt on the table. We did have to wait about 20 mins to get a table and service was slow, but that's pretty forgivable since we went on a busy weekend morning. People are packed pretty tight in the space, so it's loud and not for socially phobic folks. But, they fed us and we were really happy. This place is a solid option for a diner breakfast.

    French toast with bacon and an egg a la carte.

    I had French Toast and bacon, my wife had an omelette. The food was good. The wait wasn't long and service was pretty good. My only criticism is that I wish plates were cleared when we were done eating. They sat there until after we paid the bill and left.

    This is a solid 4 star experience. Not a bad thing. Jake's is one of those local places which fall into the IYKYK category. It's a diner. While it may not be a James Beard award winning or Michelin starred establishment, you can get some good food at reasonable prices. Yes. You can get breakfast 24/7. I am not of that cloth. There were 7 of us having a "farewell family breakfast". I've been here a few times. Food is usually good. Everyone ordered breakfast except me. The breakfast portions were generous. Nobody left hungry. Now the grits were in a cup. Look at the pics. Again, we had full bellies. The group roast was stacked on a plate in the middle of the table. I liked that approach. You see the pics. No room on the plates for it anyway. Shout out to our sever whose name I don't recall. This young man was on point! He worked his tables like a pro. No grunts groans or scowls when we asked for items. Kept our drinks filled. Ambiance? I mean it is a diner. The place was packed for Sunday morning. Oh, I've attempted the "after the club closes" run. We didn't because we're were too hangry to wait on take out. So glad this restaurant survived the pandemic. Wendover just wouldn't be the same without that Jake's Diner sign.

    French toast, dry and drenched in powdered sugar to compensate.

    While the service was good, everything else was disappointing. My French toast was white in the center and lacking in flavor and the coffee was disappointing. Our very kind waitress kept checking in to make sure our food was "okay," and honestly that's the best way to describe the food. It's okay, but it's really not great and I honestly think the Waffle House next door is wayyyyy better.

My other niece had the crab cake sandwich, she said it was good but the fruit was plated on the same plate so it was warm which was not appealing to her so she didn't eat it. I had the French toast platter with the fried chicken. The French toast was pretty good but the bread used was pretty flat but it was tasty and the chicken was overcooked, there was some black spots from being fried too long. The hit at our table was the cheesy grits, very cheesy and flavorful. We'd definitely go back to try other things on the very extensive menu!!

Diner style is the ambiance! Nailed it! I always order from here on DoorDash and was glad to be able to finally visit it in person, sit down, and eat. My family being with me was a HUGE bonus! Thank you for accommodating all of us. The one star off is for all of us having to pay $15 each to park in the lot that says Jake's Diner. I am sure many people have thought that this is where you park to visit and have gotten tickets or towed. Something needs to be changed about that. You have to prepay for parking. They need a different system or have validated parking.

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.
