If you're looking for a local burger joint, this is the place. Good variety on the menu, large selection of ice cream. I'm a first timer and again.... Why do I wait so long?! What a jem! It felt like traveling in time when I walked in with the red booths and checkered floors. The parking lot is small and fills up quickly but rightfully so. Service great, food great BUT... the only thing I was unhappy with was the tots. They're trash. Get the fries with your meals instead, trust me. The tots were full of oil and didn't have any potato inside. Luckily I ordered the fries with cheese and bacon on it so I still left happy. The bacon was legit and not from a bag, you can tell it's cooked there. I wish there was a little more cheese but overall I was happy. My burger, fries and shake craving was satisfied with this place. Next time I'm going to sit and eat inside! read more

Jem 100 - Bacon cheese fries - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Newberg, Oregon

Interesting blast from the past. It's a Fifties Dinner and Ice Cream shop in Sat in a red and white seat booth. Order at the counter, double bacon Swiss with large fries. The frys are frozen skin on. I really love frys fresh. It's much more labor intensive but very tasty. I ate my frys first and was satisfied. The Bacon Swiss burger was big juicy and tasty! It's made with regular ingredients but somehow they magically added the deliciousness. I just had to get a double Spumoni. Oh Yummy! This is a busy place. And now I know why. Just really good food. read more

Jem 100 - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Newberg, Oregon

I ordered a shake with the playdough ice cream. Not true to flavor AT ALL. The sodium level was so low, Play-Doh couldn't sue if they tried, as no authority could be convinced that this imposter even slightly resembled that beloved salty clay. I was swindled of my childhood experience. (of course in reality, I sampled the flavor first out of curiosity, was beguiled by the vanilla creaminess, and then was not a bit upset when my mouth turned entirely blue #noregrets) After running 2 personal records at a track meet, this stop at Jem 100 absolutely did not swindle me of a child-like experience. read more

Jem 100 - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Newberg, Oregon

I walked in today for dinner and this is now the second time that I have witnessed a female employee being rude or mean to another employee. A girl with blonde hair in a braid was horrible to the red head girl. I didn't catch a name. The last time about 2 weeks ago with a different person I was told the name Brooklyn, being rude to the same read head girl. She walked in and rudely shoved the other employee out of the way and muttered something under her breath before walking away. I love coming here but it's definetely not enjoyable seeing leadership fail to do something about the behavior towards that girl. read more

Jem 100 has that classic old-school diner vibe, which we were really excited about--but unfortunately, the food didn't match the charm. We got two burgers and fries, and the whole meal felt overpriced for what we received (10 $ a single) The burgers were dry and lacked flavor, and the fries were soft and forgettable--not crispy or well-seasoned. For what ended up being a surprisingly expensive stop (definitely not the cheap diner prices you'd expect), the portions and quality just didn't add up. It might be worth a visit for a nostalgic ice cream treat or the atmosphere, but if you're looking for a satisfying, high-value burger meal, there are better options around. read more

The seats were broken down and ripped. I can deal with that. The people taking the orders don't know what customer service is. I can deal with that. Because the food used to be worth it. Not anymore. My husband's hamburger came out a full 5 minutes before my beef pit sandwich. To my shock there were 2 pieces of beef then barbecue sauce, so much barbecue sauce. With this my tots came out cold. When we explained this to the server she started to walk away. We asked to speak to a manager, she said they were in the back. She didn't ever try to get them. So sad. read more

This place is great. Fun atmosphere and great food at an affordable price. I highly recommend the smash burger. read more

If you did a comparison of the cost to eat at Jem vs any local fast food for a burger and fries you will see that Jem is affordable compared to most places these days and it's a great small business that's a staple in the Newberg Community for over 40 years! Not only is the service great, the small town diner is all the feels! Definitely recommend it and definitely recommend trying different things, that's what I'm working on now but the grilled cheeseburger was so good I'm struggling to try something else now! read more

An amazing nostalgic gem of a restaurant. We've been there many times, service is flawless, everyone does great job. The burgers and fries are over the top. The old 50/60's vibe is fun. And the prices are great. Don't forget the handmade milk shake. read more

Jem100 is my favorite burger joint! I compared Nancy Jo's and Alf's in Mac for a side-by-side comparison and Jem100 is the best taste and service! I got the cheesy smash burger once at a Social Goods event they were there for and got hooked. You can tell Eric is a great manager because his team are happy, Brooklyn is especially helpful. I am disabled and they always offer to help me out. Just wonderfully gracious folks and the yummiest food! My fiancé said he loves watching me eat it because it's like I'm having it for the first time every time. So good! Thank you for everything Jem! read more

Asked for a LARGE order of fries done CRISPY and got a 'handful' of plain Jane, barely cooked fries, $3.50 LOL I'll try elsewhere.

Such a cute local restaurant. Their food always hits the spot as well as their wide variety of icecream flavors! Love that it is locally owned! read more

Came after working in this area and ordered a milkshake and a small fry. Some of the ice cream tasted kinda stale but i liked the huckleberry cheesecake and got a milk shake made with that which oddly tasted mostly like vanilla once made into a shake. My issue honestly came from the fries there were seriously like 12-15 in a pretty big bag that's crazy t charge 4 dollars for less than one whole potato. They were also just ok could've been cooked longer. They also didn't have the vinegar which what ever. The girls were nice tho until i asked for a couple more ketchups since they didn't have the vinegar. Then the gave me a comically large amount of ketchup like more ketchup packs than fries i had, kinda passive aggressive. May come back to try the burgers they looked pretty good but not too impressed with my first visit. read more

Jem 100 - 12-15 fries in an order - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Newberg, Oregon

The service was amazing. We had a large party with 2 kids and our orders were perfect. Food and ice cream were delicious. We will be back for sure again soon! read more

Think 50s style diner! The decor is so fun and nostalgic, the hard pack ice cream selection is awesome, and the burgers and fries take you all the way back! Service is always awesome, and the staff are so polite. When you can get a burger, Fries, and ice cream for less than $20 you can't go wrong! The burgers are cooked on a flat top, which is the best way to have a burger, and the meat is top quality. They have several different burgers, but I always opt for the boring cheeseburger and fries. Come check out this little Jem, and you'll be glad you did! read more

Food is always good, but afraid I can't say the same for the service :( While waiting for the young woman at the register to resume helping customers, I witnessed two teenage girls bringing up an order of chicken strips with fries that was an extra order brought to the table. Rather then telling them to keep it since it had been delivered to their table and handled by them or disposed of, it was instead returned to the kitchen where they commented/ possibly joking that they'd use it to fill order. I work in Healthcare and that is extremely concerning. Then I got my order and it was wrong. Jem 100 what's happening to the quality of your service and food? read more

Great little diner. We went here in Feb 2023 for the grilled cheese meltdown. The prices are good and the food was tasty. I got the "meltdown" sandwich. The sandwich was Chicken, bacon and Frank's buffalo sauce on Portland French Bakery bread, smothered with cheddar and pepper jack cheese and served with fries. I ordered mine without bacon. It was really good. The food is very reasonably priced, workers were nice, and they offer a big verity of foods. Husband and I both had chocolate peanut butter ice cream and friend had a black licorice shake. We will be back. read more

Jem 100 - Jalapeño burger and a large fries. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Newberg, Oregon

This place is definitely a busy place. But the environment was welcoming and it was small yet roomy. Got busy as we were leaving but it wasn't crazy busy. In the small town you felt welcome being an outsider. The food was great. They were fresh fries and the burgers were amazing as well. Our favorite of the two was the mushroom. They could've put more guacamole on the other one but it's ok. The prices were reasonable as well. With tip my wife and I ate for $25. That included drinks too. read more

First time going to eat at this place. Not busy at 2pm ordered my jalapeno burger fries and soda sat down. About ten minutes go by and another group comes in orders and sits down. They end up receiving their food before me and they had 4 orders as I'm still sitting waiting for my food for about 30 minutes now. I go up and ask for a refund as I had to go. He tells me it shouldn't be much longer. I do get my refund except for the soda that I barely even drank any of since I was waiting to have it with my food. I'd understand if they were busy. read more

I got a cheeseburger for $6.75 and sweet potatoe fries for $3.75, both were delicious but I did not get a lot of fries, maybe 20-25 total. I left a tad hungry, but it could have been a one off. Place was busy the whole time we were there and food took maybe 15 minutes, which was not bad at all. Food was very good, so I'll definitely try this place again. read more

This place will easily fill my Mike's Drive in burger gap. Always judge a Burger place by it's Burger. Don't go in and say you were disappointed by the chicken nuggets. It's a burger joint diner. A real diner. With shakes ice cream fries onion rings and Burgers. For me it's a weekly stop. No nonsense you know what is on the menu. It's every kind of burger and then some. Did they have a garden gluten free vegetarian tofu burger? I don't know I was there for a burger. I didn't ask. They piled it high with all the usual I like mine with lettuce (not shredded) and tomatoes heinz 57 mayonnaise and french fried potatoes. Well they use Portland ketchup which adds a little unique flavor. I think the photo did it justice. The bum was up to the task and did not fall apart under the weight of goodness stuffed between it. Are there better burgers? Sure for up to 17 dollars. This is your I need a family spot to not spend a fortune burger. The patties are frozen at some point. There is no doubt. Still cooked to perfection and presented in mouth watering fashion. The fries are solid and cooked well. Then they have shales and ice cream with plenty of flavors and options to choose from. No it's not the Ritz but it's not trying to be. Stop in here for your I don't want to cook a burger but I want to eat a good burger without spending a fortune and better than fast food burger. This is my new burger joint read more

I feel the food quality could be better for the price. I did not like the fact that onion rings and fish are cooked together. My rings tasted like fish. The worst part is the girl who helped us had terrible customer service. Asked what's on the burger she was not happy, does it have cheese IDK added a dollar more my JR burger ended up being about $5. Then I completed my order does not ask if that's it does not say the total just looks at me. I pay then no thank you or anything. At least say we will bring your food when it's done then when the food comes out she just sloppily tosses it on the table and walks away. Not even a do you want ketchup?? I saw her toss this other tables burger it almost slid off the table just walked away. This would be the blonde with glasses at 4:45pm today. But yet when talking to her co workers smiling and chatting. No one wants crappy service. Won't be back. read more

Yesterday, my family and I ate dinner at your restaurant. We arrived at 8 p.m., and for about 10 minutes I stood by the cash register without being greeted . I was finally able to place an order, and still wasn't greeted until I said something. I may be old-fashioned, but these young individuals have no work ethic. I have worked in the food industry for quite some time; believe me when I say that working fast food is not for the weak. I was within eyesight of the two young adults working. I did not see them wash their hands. One young lady, with a side braid, played with her hair and her phone, handling raw meat without gloves and without washing her hands. I could see her grabbing the meat package with her bare hands blood dripping from package . The young gentleman opened something with a knife and chucked it across the kitchen into the sink kept scratching his face/nose with the back of his hand again not washing his hands . I saw a lot of playing in the kitchen. Overall, it was not a good experience. Please know I don't mean to be a Karen; I didn't get my tartar sauce with my fish and chips, and I didn't get straws. I was very overwhelmed by this point. I sent an email to the place never got a response back. read more

Food was pretty good but the place lacks cleaning ... I ate there tonight only one in the restaurant and the employees are all in the back just hanging out ... my ketchup bottle could have used a cleaning ... guess I'm old in my day we cleaned when the place was empty but kids don't want to work these days .. even when I walked in one guy was laying on the ice cream counter read more

Make sure your burger is Well Cooked. We ordered our burgers well done and was told by the waitress taking our order that "all of our burgers are made well done" so I thought ok great! Well not really great. Half of the burger was pink. Called the waitress over and asked for my money back. She offered to get me another burger which I wasn't hungry anymore....I was told that "we don't give money back" and that I would get "a gift certificate, and that our cook was new". No apologies Look we all have bad days, but the manager was rude, and wasn't being clear with what she was saying, talking over me, which made us think even more as to why would I want to come back when they don't treat the customer right? I wish I took a picture of the burger, clear as day-pink is pink! read more

Every time I have been here they have been super busy! But darn it they make some solid burgers. Every. Time. Great fries too! Sometimes you'll catch them in a time when they're not busy and they're fricken quick. It's cheap, fast, fun and good food. Check them out! read more

Best burger for the value that I can get South of Portland. Great flavor and price. Milkshakes are real!

Sat at the table waiting for my order and watched one of the help wipe off the front of the trash can and then use the same cloth to wipe off were they place the food from the kitchen.. Saw half my order at the window getting cold while they were completely the other half. not sure I will return here. read more
