    Country skillet
    Glenn L.

    A great non-upscale place in Menlo Park for a weekend breakfast. The parking lot is a little small but plenty of tables inside. Very friendly service here. Had the Bacon Scramble, the Jason's crepe, the Country skillet, and the Southern Scramble. All the food was great! The savory crepe was a standout. I had the Bacon Scramble, which had mushrooms and spinach (my weakness). It gets loud in here with so sound absorbing fabrics.

    Jason's Skillet
    Miguel C.

    Nice little local breakfast cafe. Small parking lot with street parking around and decent size indoor space. I got the Jason skillet w/ sourdough and it was tasty, potatoes were seasoned which was a plus. Sausage , bacon and ham were cooked well. I wish the cheese would have melted rather looked like just put on the plate but overall still a decent breakfast dish. Staff were super friendly and nice.

    California Benedict
    Chris H.

    Good breakfast to get your day started! Parking lot is kinda small but that was the only issue. Everything else very good the service and people inside were very nice! The warm decor made it nice place to sit and eat with your family. Good old fashioned cooking. I had the El Paso Benedict it had corn beef hash and was amazing with my hash browns well done by the way I love the crispy lol. Wifey ordered California Benedict which was also a very good choice. If you find yourself in this part of Menlo Park you can't go wrong with Jason's.

    I'm rounding up because we love this place - very reasonably priced, unpretentious and kid friendly breakfast / lunch option in Menlo Park. I appreciate the cozy, bustling ambiance and usually go with one of their breakfast or pasta options. They have a huge menu averaging $15-20 per adult entree, $10 for kids - portions are very generous. My favorite pasta thus far has been the prawn and sundried tomato, my husband enjoys the kung Pao linguine (I know it sounds bad but my mom also enjoys this!) Definitely recommend if you're looking for a no frills option nearby. Their parking lot is pretty small - would recommend parking in the Springline lot next door, first two hours free!

    Jason's Omelet
    Nat P.

    Continue to love this place! The food is still delicious and never a complaint! This time I ordered the protein scramble and the Jason's omelet with fruits and it really just hits the spot. Not too complicated or too much going on. It was made so simple, just the way I wanted! Great service all around, great ambiance, and plenty of parking.

    Whooooo Whoooooo they now have Mimosas!!! Yummy Yummy

    Quick service, yummy mimosas and great food! Has us coming back consistently! I love their pancakes!

    Chicken and Waffles

    Our favorite breakfast/brunch place! Great food, great service, great place! We come here almost every weekend now. My family loves the location, the people there are super nice and efficient and the food is real!

    Harbor Omelet
    Anna A.

    My husband found this place randomly and it was surprisingly so delicious - such a hidden breakfast spot! I ordered the harbor omelette: filled with crab meat, cheese, spinach and topped with hollandaise sauce. I have never had anything like this and it blew my socks off. I love Hollandaise but wasn't feeling a Benedict ... I didn't know the sauce on an omelette filled with crab would be so delicious. And they are very generous with their crab meat portions! The hash-browns are also the classic diner style - super crispy and delicious.

    Sourdough toast

    This place is right off El Camino Real. We drive by it a lot and have been meaning to try it. They have their own parking lot which is nice. Staff was very friendly. We walked in and we're able to sit anywhere. Our waitress was always checking on us to make sure everything was good. There's plenty of tables inside. We ordered the chorizo scramble and the apple waffle combo. The hash browns were nice and crispy. I love when they get that griddle crunch. Chorizo scramble was perfectly seasoned. It came with avocado, salsa, and sour cream. The apple waffle was a nice sweet addition to the meal. It's nice the whipped cream and syrup came on the side. The apples were enough sweetness for the waffle but I like the option of dunking it in some whipped cream or syrup to make it a little sweeter. There's a good amount of variety on the menu. It took us awhile to figure out what we wanted to order. Will definitely come back to try some other dishes.

    Southern Scramble
    Meeghan H.

    Simple diner with large menu. Friendly and quick service. Came to Jason's Cate with a large party on a Monday afternoon, there were plenty of tables available and we were seated right away! Everything on the menu sounded delicious, but I went with the Southern Scramble. HIGHLY recommend this scramble if you're craving biscuits and gravy. Hash browns were crispy and golden brown. Only downside is small parking lot.

    There's no outside seating in the restaurant, so unless you have a service dog the dog won't be allowed in.

My sis and I picked the matcha ice cream floating in jasmine tea and a matcha ice cream cone. Our orders came out fast within 2-4 minutes. The Jasmine-matcha float was amazing!!!

Overall, it was a nice experience and yes, I'll come back for sure to try other items on the menu.

Service is quick for our order but would not come again.

Decor is cute but sleek, vibes are calm, bar seating by window and a few small tables with seats. Ordering is fast at the kiosk front desk which doesn't seem to have a cashier. Lots of tasty drink options with milk choices and customizable sweetness and ice level - much appreciated! Cakes were delicious and filled with freshly whipped cream. We had the hojicha and biscoff ones. Not incredibly busy - a lot of orders were takeout. Cons: A lot of things were out of stock by 1pm but maybe this is due to Mother's Day. Pricey but the items were high quality. Store is a small footprint with limited utilities (no WiFi, bathroom was temporarily out of order). Parking is very difficult- it's on el Camino so the cars are unforgiving if you're trying to parallel park, and the road parallel by a block is not much better. It has an alley and a very cramped space in the back for a lot. Expect to walk.

It was limited on time (I think you can sign up to use it for 2+ hours and there were few outlets available unless you were lucky enough to sit at a seat next to one.
