I love this place. It truly a hidden gem because as good as the food is, there should be a line out the door. Lemme tell you about that wafffffllleeee. How did I not know that all I ever needed in life was peanut butter chocolate chip waffles? The blueberry pancake was also amazing, it was my husbands and I ate it later because he took it home. The skillet was delicious, there's salsa on the table to add. We added the ham for an all around stellar mouth full. The grits were creamy and the bacon was crispy. My favorite part was that when they scrambled the eggs they let the cheese form a crust and it created a delightful bite. 10/10 reccomend. Go here. read more

It's your typical little diner breakfast food. You get an okay portion, the food tastes fine, but it's just a little expensive. Service is nice and the place is always busy, packed with regulars. If you're looking for a large filling portion, this isn't it. A quick breakfast to hold you over, sure. read more

The food is great! Everything is homemade. The potatoes are made from scratch, and cooked to perfection. The mushrooms in the Swiss mushroom burger are fresh-no canned mushrooms here! And I can really taste the difference. The staff are really pleasant, and do an absolutely fantastic job waiting on me and all other patrons. Plus the prices are great, and the portions are generous. I'm a big fan of The Jefferson House restaurant-I try to eat there at least twice a week. read more

A comfortable atmosphere and a friendly staff. The restaurant is relaxed and welcoming. My wife and I were there for breakfast. The food was served hot and fresh. We plan to visit here again soon for their lunchtime meal. I highly recommend this charming restaurant. read more

My friend and me meet there for breakfast at least once a month. It is always good and the waitresses are so friendly and efficient! Prices are very affordable. They always make us a fresh pot of decaf coffee and keep our cups full! read more

This is a SOLID lunch choice in Jefferson. They have a full menu, serving breakfast all day as well as lunch. They've got meat and vegetable options, a daily special, burgers, salads, deli sandwiches, pancakes, French toast, omelets, etc. So much variety!! You can eat as healthily or as poorly as you want! I stopped in today and enjoyed their baked chicken leg quarter with green beans and fried okra! We walked in right before the lunch rush and it filled up quickly! The food came out fast! This was a nice "country kitchen" type restaurant and I'll definitely be back!!! read more

Super cafe. Found in Jefferson, a home converted to. Restaurant, the breakfast was excellent and pricing was amazing. Recommend anything on special!! read more

I've driven past this restaurant a million times and it's never been open when I go by because they're only open for breakfast and lunch. But I decided I'd give it a try because my husband loves southern breakfast food covered in sausage gravy. We we're definitely the youngest people in there. The clientele are mostly card carrying members of AARP. But it made for a peaceful atmosphere. The place was very clean even though it is likely a pretty old building. I had Julie's skillet with home fries covered in scrambled eggs, cheese, onions, green peppers, and bacon. It was delicious! I also added a giant fluffy biscuit that was amazing. I certainly did not leave hungry. My husband had a tenderloin egg and cheese biscuit with gravy on top. He was quite happy with it although he doesn't like the fluffy biscuits like I do. I definitely recommend this restaurant if you like a quite southern breakfast. read more

let's start with the staff, always friendly remembers your order and never a bad word out of thier mouth regardless of how swamped they are on a saturday . The location is great and so is the ambiance , it's like a true diner . I have to say I have never made it for the lunch but make it for breakfast very often. there is a reason you see the same group of people each morning meeting for breakfast, the food is fast and always good and right , the cost is well below anyplace example a sausage biscuit and a drink meal at mcdonald's is 7 bucks , here for just over 7 bucks you can get two eggs a meat potatoes or grits and toast . I have the samething each time but have tried everything except the coconut french toast ( I will soon ) but I would say if you are in the area this is a place for you to go to for sure and if lunch is anything like breakfast what a value and what amazing food. I can not recommend enough. read more

This place reminds me of the tv show Cheers. I swear everyone knows everyone. And if you don't know anyone it's ok you will before you leave. The service is only second to the food. From the biscuits and gravy to the coconut French toast it's all great. read more

Very clean if old fashioned. So friendly service. When i was told the owner is the cook i was encouraged. The coconut french toast was tasty and bacon was ok. Corn nuggets and corn muffins are really good. Mashed potatoes need work but gravy is great. The vegetable soup is outstanding. read more

This establishment is located off of Athens St. The parking lot is a bit small, can be hard to get in and out depending on traffic. I was very disappointed with my experience. Upon walking in, there was no greeting or warm welcome. I was dining in so I was no sure whether to sit down or order first. I took a guess and sat down. After sitting down, we were not greeted for about 15 minutes. Our waiter then came and asked what we wanted to drink, so hello or anything. Then the coke and chocolate milk were horrible. The biscuits were the worst I've ever had. The sausage was not cooked all the way in our sausage biscuit so could not eat it. The grits were okay, only thing good were the hash brown. I would not recommend this place to anybody. I'm not sure how they have any business with the rude staff and horrible food. Please avoid. read more

Jefferson House - Bacon and cheese biscuit with side of grits - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Jefferson, Georgia

We stopped in here to pick up some breakfast. We tried To call but the number was not working. We walked in and we're immediately greeted. This is definitely a popular local place. We placed our order and we waited about 15 to 20 minutes. We ordered four different things. We ordered the breakfast burrito with hashbrowns covered in chili. A full order of biscuits and gravy and those biscuits BIG ol' biscuits. We ordered a half order of biscuits and gravy, a breakfast sandwich, a side of bacon and the skillet scramble with bacon. Kenzie took our order and was very helpful and friendly. Lots of seating inside they are only open for breakfast and lunch. They also have homemade cakes and pies at a very reasonable cost at 2:25 a piece or a slice. Everything was delicious. The best way to get the biscuits is with gravy because they're somewhat crumbly if you Order a breakfast sandwich. The gravy is perfectly seasoned. Yes I said perfectly seasoned. The size of the entrées were very, very large. The price is super reasonable. We fed four people for $35. They also have daily like specials too. read more

I went in with some friends for lunch. The food was all processed and packaged at least for lunch. I had the meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and black-eyed peas. The potatoes tasted like boxed, the peas were bland, the corn bread was sweet and boxed. I will say the Philly cheese steak and the breakfast plates looked delicious. I may try those if I come back. read more

Great food, great service! I recently had the sausage egg and cheese burrito and it was delicious!! This place is a must try!!

We loved this breakfast restaurant. The food taste very fresh as if there was grandma cooking in the back in the kitchen. The coffee was surprisingly very good and not weak as most breakfast restaurants. Customer service was about the best here. The people were very nice and friendly. They made us feel as if we were family. My son had a peanut butter waffle which he loved. We had french toast and some eggs with sausage. There was some ham too and it was so good. One of the best parts of this visit was that it was very inexpensive for the quality of food. We are definitely not missing this place when we come back to visit. read more

Clearly a local hot spot. Not at all what I expected but was really impressed with their staff. Two waitresses, full lunch hour rush, and they were sprinting to meet, greet, serve, and clean up after everyone. AND they were smiling and laughing with all their customers. I felt like a welcomed like a local! We'll be back! My husband loved the $5 burger special. And so many fries! read more

We love the Jefferson House and go whenever we can on Saturday mornings. They have the best spinach and feta omelet not to mention the fresh banana nut pancakes. This is the best little cafe. The staff are like family and the same ladies have been working there for YEARS. Definitely a small town gem! read more

Good buffet-nice people-all of our food was good with the exception of the fried green tomatoes-they were Way over fried. Nice setting, looking forward to the new patio to be completed. read more

Ignored by waitress. Others came after us and were seated and waited on. After 15 minutes we left. I understand short staffed but to not be acknowledged is Rude. Food looked amazing but we won't be back to find out as they wouldn't serve us. read more

The Jefferson House is a great little breakfast spot with good parking, no wait, quick seating, and friendly staff! The experience is truly made by the moment your food is brought out. It's huge, it's homemade, it's delicious. They make their own biscuits, which are an awesome bed for their sausage gravy, their waffles are big and fluffy, their French toast seems endless, and everything in between is in a league of its own as well! I don't know if I've had the two best possible experiences here, or if they're always on this level, but I know for a fact that I'll continue to go back! read more

Great breakfast place - nice & quiet location. I'm looking forward to my next meal there.

We ride our motorcycle with an international group and we are known for our visits to local restaurants. After reading the reviews of this place, we decided to give this place a try. From slow staff, weak or no coffee and or seeming not to care if our group of 11 was serviced or not - maybe this was not a good choice. I can not comment on the food yet, we've be here over 30 minutes and no food. You judge if you want to waste your time here. Oh, did I mention styrofoam coffee cups? They were out of the regular cups. Ok this an edit. Our food finally came, after we waited for an hour and a half - yup - 90 minutes - Instead of the other waitress's helping, our waitress brought our orders out one order at a time - remember we had 11 people - the food was very good, but the service was probably the worst I've ever seen. Of course their attitude didn't help much. read more

Such great food & great service! Don't look for high-end, expensive cuisine, but if you want good, down home fare prepared with great care at a reasonable price, this is the place for you! Never had a bad experience here and the food is always fantastic! You won't be disappointed! read more

Food is always amazing regardless of what you order. The staff there is always friendly and eager to make sure your order is perfect every time. read more

Any true foodie will avoid this restaurant. Calling the food here "awful" would be a compliment. Nothing tastes fresh but from a can. The grilled cheese is thin and puny, made with cheap white bread and maybe one slice of generic American cheese. The fried chicken was more grease than chicken. Mashed potatoes are clearly made from flakes. I would rather eat at a fast food restaurant for half the cost, and I really dislike fast food. read more

Will always LOVE this quaint little breakfast & lunch place ! The staff is Amazing ! The Cook is a hidden gem of the south! Jefferson House will always be a small piece of home for me! read more

We found this gem here on yelp... just 12 minutes from our house. The service was fast and friendly. Great mom and pop place in an old house. The food....yummo. hubby had an omelet and would have licked the plate if I had let him. I had a half order of coconut French toast. Delicious. The prices were really great too. If you find yourself in Jefferson at breakfast time...you need to come here for breakfast. read more

A really great place to grab some Southern-style breakfast or lunch. Highly recommend the biscuits and gravy (a half order is MORE than enough for the average human being). While I haven't had one yet, I've been told by family that the hamburgers are also quite good. read more
