Definitely not worth the money. I typically order kids food before mine, for timing purposes. I ordered that way and all food was brought out at same time. Waitress only brought me one cup of coffee, which for 2.50, you would expect refills whenever the cup was empty. Food is average, but def not worth the money. read more

All things considered this is a decent family restaurant. I just wish the serving staff appeared in attire befitting a real cafe. The young man serving there this past summer wore a t shirt, cargo shorts and worn out shoes as if he just got off his skate board. Looking at his hairy legs was not appealing The waitress staff though competent, often wear soiled shirts. Some semblance of staff uniforms would give this place a better impression to its patrons. Simply going to Walmart one will find Dickie pants and white shirts for little money. Would a tie and waiters apron be asking too much? Ordering Mozo Shoes is not difficult and all of this is tax deductible at fiscal year end. There is no second chance for a first impression. If the serving staff looks disheveled, one wonders what is going on in the kitchen read more

If you would like to die waiting for your food this is the place for you. Drink refills are out of the question as well. The table was filthy. The glass was broken so they literally duct taped the corner of the table top. I am all about dive diners with great food and prices but this is intolerable. Don't waste your time or money. read more

Jeffrey's Restaurant - Duct taped broken table and peanut butter smeared ketchup. Cleanliness is not a priority here. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Marquette, Michigan

Good hearty American style food, great prices and service. Homemade Mac-n-cheese for the kids and not boxed kraft which is a good thing. I recommend the Swedish Meatloaf as it was large and quite tasty. The baked potatoe was perfectly done, and their tomato basil soup was really good. read more

Family-style restaurant, breakfast all day, bottomless (drinkable) coffee, and a lovely and competent staff-- what more do you want from your local diner?! This place treats their employees well, and it shows, because they treat their customers well. They are personable, informed, and attentive, even when busy. The food is above par, on all levels, and they have a hearty breakfast selection, along with quite a good many lunch and dinner options that are great. It is one of the few places in Marquette where your steak or burger will actually be cooked how you ask (and we all know how hard it can be to get a medium rare burger). And, great fries and soup options, and a menu that is friendly to vegetarian and gluten-free folks, alike. You want pie, you say? They have that covered, too! Can't praise this place enough; I consider it a hidden little gem in this town. read more

I'm giving 2 stars based on service- the food was done well, though cold due to service staff being horrid. We asked for a cinnamon roll and the staff asked if we wanted it before our meal and warm- which was awesome and I said please- we got it with the meal and it was cold as well as undercooked. I will be returning simply because the meal itself was pretty good, nothing to wow about, just good, but at least it wasn't horribly processed. read more

It's been over 4 years since I've eaten at Jeffery's. Why? Because last time I ate there with family, they literally burnt everyone's eggs (omelet) etc. there was literally black on the bottom of the omelettes. The server apologized and mentioned all eggs were coming out that way all morning. Today's is Mother's Day so you ramp up in staff right? 80% full restaurant. No line at the door and no one waiting to be seated. My wife and I ordered two specials: eggs, bacon, French toast. Food came within 15min of ordering, fast. Everything on the plate, literally cold. The French toast had a stale texture to it too like it was old bread and clearly prepared ahead of time. Noting like eating cold eggs and cold greasy bacon The food would've been good if it was at least warm. Maybe not the French toast. Now I know why it's been 4 years since we've been back. Never returning again. They just don't know how to run this place and offer consistency in quality and service. Those two things will kill a restaurant. It's clear you take a risk when you eat here. I waited for years and look what happened! That says something. The server was very nice however. read more

This was the fourth time I've tried the Friday night fish fry. The first time was several years ago and I was impressed. Portions were generous, fish was good and the service was also acceptable. The second visit, however, was a disaster. My fish was grey and the edges crusty. The side of vegetables were obviously out of a can and reheated, and the cole slaw was soupy. The third visit went better, fish good, service good, but the same old soggy vegetables. And now they charge $1 for each extra piece of fish. No complaint because I Usually don't eat more than one serving. Last night we tried it again. The fish was o.k., my pan breading was clinging on in places, baked potato - well it is hard to ruin a baked potato. The cole slaw was better, but then there were the same old out of a can soggy vegetables. It really wouldn't take much effort to elevate the vegetables to an acceptable side. I probably won't go back for the fish fry. The kitchen staff was having a good time from what I Could hear, but it wasn't in preparing the best meal they could. There was no effort put into the product and certainly nothing I would recommend to friends. read more

Very slow service; took 35 min to get our breakfast of eggs & French toast, which were (predictably) room temperature. Impossible to get the waitress' attention for drink refills or our check. The only bright spot was that their rye toast was delicious. read more

With all the great breakfast places in Marquette, I cannot believe the owners of this place tolerate 45 min wait times. Completely unacceptable. No apologies, no acknowledgement of the wait time. I will never come here again. I'm coming back to edit this because I posted the original review while I was waiting for my food. Things continued to get worse. Food came out well undercooked. Pancake was heavy and wet like a washcloth. Disgusting. No salt or seasoning on anything else. When I paid for our meal at the register, the cashier appeared to be a manager. Didn't even ask how things were. Based on the other reviews, she probably knows. I told her this was the worst dining experience I have ever had. Her reply was "well we are busy on Saturday and Sunday mornings." No apologies, no offer to make it right, nothing. The waitress was nice but I made a conscious decision to not leave a tip. Thinking that since this cost her money she will say something to management about their poorly operated business. With all of the options in Marquette it is a wonder that this place is still open after 10 years. This is a great location and they have a nice menu, but the preparation and service sucks beyond belief. I would be embarrassed to own this place. read more

Waiting an hour for eggs and toast on a Tuesday morning is pretty ridiculous, and the crepes were probably the worst I've ever had. The water was good though. read more

Some of the best hangover food around. I remember many times when I was a student at Northern coming here after a weekend of fun. This place offers a good breakfast at a decent price. I generally go with either an omelet or some eggs and hashbrowns. read more

Two weeks after the stay at home order was lifted we were looking forward to eating out. My husband's coffee was served in a cup with lipstick around the brim. Needles to say, we didn't stick around long enough to eat! read more

Worst service ever!! We waited over an hour for our food. No one came over to refill our coffee, we actually walked up and poured it ourself. They never apologized for how long the food was taking or even came over to our table for anything. They had a ton of wait staff but horrible communication. We finally got up to leave because after waiting for over 75 minutes and all the above we'd had it. We still paid for our coffee and they took our money!!!! read more

This was probably one of the worst places I have ever been to for service. I had to hunt down a waitress for our drink order since no one came to our table after we sat down for over 15 min. It's been an hour and we're still waiting for our breakfast and it's not even busy. Our waitress hasn't even been back to our table foe anything, no drinks, no you guys doing ok. I would never suggest anyone eats here. I really don't care how good the food is the service was ridiculous. read more

Breakfast at Jeffrey's left us disappointed. While the wait staff was friendly and attentive, the food did not make the grade. I had an omelette with American fried potatoes and my wife had their cinnamon French toast. She stated that the French toast had no cinnamon and the syrup had no flavor. My omelette was not "fluffy", as they stated in their menu, and was burnt on the bottom. The American fries were warm but pale, and looked like they spent very little time on the grill so they were not fried. We will be looking for better the next time we're in Marquette! read more

Well let's start with the sign they say best breakfast 8years in a row wow if that is true than Marquette does not know what a breakfast is . Sign also said quality service ah no it was sub par at best .they had a stack of plates with toast waiting for orders we waited 20 minutes for a server then another half hour for our food only to have cold toast and the hash browns had a wierd taste .heard another table complain about the wait and one couple got up and left .Do not recommend at all go down to the big boy . read more

I went there for lunch They was not busy !!! I stand for staff to seat me all staff saw me and no one say hello or please waiting i will seat you or event ask they look at me and all of them walk a way But they have sign " please wait to be seat " So funny you wait but nobody will seat you I went there 2 time order decaf coffee when they refill never ask what is this !!!! Bad service !!! read more

Horrible service and food. Small portions as well. I asked the waitress if she could bring my soup right away. 15 minutes later, it still wasn't there. I finally flagged her down, and she came to the table. When I asked her if she could bring it please, she said "I'm working on it," which clearly she wasn't, as she had been setting up place servings on other tables. And the restaurant was not full, or even busy. Maybe 2 or 3 other tables had customers. Also I asked to have the gravy left off my food, and of course when my food came, gravy was slopped all over everything. Plus the waitress never came back to see how everything was, and nobody asked how my meal was when I was paying. I left a penny tip. read more

We waited over 1 1/2 hours for our breakfast. We finally had to leave. No apologies, no nothing. Just a bill for our coffee. I understand it's a Sunday morning, but food was only coming out every 20 min. There is no way they had more than one cook back there. read more

I have been to other diners in Marquette that seem to put a little more soul into their food. That does not mean Jeffrey's is not worth the visit. As a matter of fact, I really enjoyed the steak and eggs I ordered. It just didn't seem like the environment was cozy. Almost touristy, I saw lots of parents eating with their kids, probably attending NMU. It felt too crowded, but the menu strongly mirrors IHOP so it would stand to reason that it would stay busy. This is a reliable and reasonably-priced place to have breakfast. read more

Jeffrey's was a classic greasy spoon breakfast that was totally necessary after a night of taking some out of town friends out the night before. Your classic eggs, bacon, hashbrown, toast combo. I thought it was pretty darn good! I would go here again for breakfast. read more

I would suggest to avoid this place if you want to eat decent food. I ordered pancakes, they were pale, soggy, flavorless and undercooked. Maybe out of a box and steamed? The sausage links were greasy, cold and looked steamed also. My eggs were raw, had them recooked and still raw whites. Everything was covered in thick oil. The hash browns had some crispy pieces but totally flavorless. My husband never complains about anything and said never would he eat there again. Even the whole wheat toast was bad, tasted stale. The price was outrageous, the cashier was kind enough to take a little off the bill. Seriously, a fast food breakfast tastes 10x better than what we just experienced. Go at your own risk, maybe we had a bad cook this morning?? Bleck read more

We had Jeffries cater a wedding at a park. They did a phenomenal job! I was worried about not having enough food, turns out Jeffrey's brought more than enough food. They did all the set up and take down. All at a reasonable price! The day turned out beautiful! Thank you Jeffrey's! read more

Came here on a Saturday morning while on vacation back home. This is a place we ALWAYS come to for breakfast and it's usually really good! Not this time... this time our food did not get to us until about over an hour later and the toast was rock solid the bacon was hard as a rock that I couldn't even eat it. Such a disappointment I really hope it was just an off day and the food hasn't gone downhill. read more

Tommy's - Now Jeffery's - is great! Amazing salads, good specials, and just darn good cooking.

Now called Jeffrey's. Very good always! The breakfast is th best!! The Eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, and toast plate is my fav and the Staff-very friendly!!! read more

Stopped here for a late night dinner. It is "Jeffrey's" as others have said. Very good cobb salad--one of the best I've had. My daughter's oriental chicken salad and my husband's fish dinner were also excellent. I'd give it 5 stars, but this is the only time I've been there. I will go again probably since we are in Marquette a few times a year. read more

Jeffrey's doesn't treat there employees with respect or others who want a job there. They fire anyone who stands up for themselves or other co workers. They let co workers harass eachother Till one snaps and fire the one who shouldn't be harassed in the first place & tries to stand up for themselves. Never heard of a worker there who's had a good experience working for them. There food isn't the best, visit the coach light instead. read more

food was average for a cookie cutter style restaurant. It looses stars for turning off the house music and wait staff started closing procedures while we were trying to enjoy our meal. RUDE! read more

Mediocre breakfast, long wait times, often times rude waitstaff. I used to go a lot more frequently than I do now but the food isn't worth the wait. Have gotten my order messed up several times because waitstaff doesn't write down order. Have also received cold food several times after waiting. read more

Friendly staff, clean, great food, and the endless cup of coffee! We recommend the cinnamon roll to start. Wow.

Have always enjoyed my meal except for one thing.....it takes forever to get out of the kitchen. Lots of people on the floor but apparently understaffed in the cooking area. Went in 3 days ago during lunch hour and the placed was packed but the wait wasn't too bad. Took the whole family in today, less cars in the lot and tables available, and one of the gals on the floor advised us that it would be a 45 minute wait for food. Took that info under advisement and left. read more

3.5 stars. Nothing fancy, just good solid diner food at a decent price with friendly service. Not the type of place you'd take someone to impress them, but at the same time if you go there you know you'll get treated right. The type of place you might go when you can't decide where to go. read more

Traveling through and we stopped for breakfast. Best breakfast ever!! Hash browns were perfect!! Ham and cheese omelet perfect!! Service great!! Wish I could go there every day!! read more

Jeffries is a great place to eat any meal! Super good menu selection and wonderful tasting food. Hours are good and great prices. Staff is exceptional! read more

Even on a busy Sunday morning, more than 40 minutes to wait for our breakfast seems a little long. Portions were generous, but little flavor in my California omelette. Western omelette was good, but the pieces of green pepper should have been cut smaller. read more

Love this place I had liver & onion it was Farrrr--Out the waitress was very nice can't wait to eat there again

The food was great, definitely worth 5 stars. There are also many choices for vegetarians. That being said, I only gave 3 stars due to cleanliness. The air vent covers look like they haven't been cleaned in a long time. The banisters had enough dust, that you could leave a message for the next person. Finally there was a ceiling tile with a chunk missing from the corner so an extension cord could be run. Why does this concern me? Because if this is how the area that the customers sit is kept, then how clean is the kitchen? read more

Food was decent, service was horrible!!! Never refilled drinks or asked if we needed anything. Will not be going back!
