    Great big cup of hot coffee
    Robert B.

    First time trying this restaurant, was up in the east Norristown area and spot this place,so I decided to stop, and I was sure glad I did, the resturant is 1950s themed and it's a family owned restaurant with great friendly staff, the original owner Tony comes by to greet everybody while his son cooks in the back. The food was so good, I ordered the cream chipped beef, and boy that was the best cream chip beef I ever had, I also ordered a side of scrapple Stix, it was just simply amazing a must try, my brother ordered the big bopper which comes with the massive huge fluff pancakes, it's also worth noting this is a cash only restaurant so be prepares

    The eggs florentine comes with potato

    1950s on the walls, family restaurant with absolutely dope food based on my first visit. The eggs florentine was fast, melt in your mouth tender. Great blend of flavors. A+ would recommend for a family meal, open 7 days

    First time visiting the restaurant for breakfast with my family after living in the area for a few years. This place is definitely a hidden gem. Retro vibe with great service and delicious breakfast options. The waitress was very friendly and the owner came around to each table to talk to the guests and also refill coffee. Will definitely be visiting this gem for more delicious meals.!

    This restaurant has a family diner feel. Has great breakfast specials and deceptively large pancakes. The service is quick, and the servers as well as the owner are great people. And for the amount of money paid, the portions of food are high.

    Travelling back to the 50's -- not only the décor or the setup, but the entire atmosphere, including the regulars sipping coffee and chat at the breakfast far. It's not pretentious, but the real deal. Food is no fuss, well priced, delicious comfort food. All your traditional breakfast items, nothing fancy, nothing is more than $11. If you need some old fashioned, comfort family breakfast, this is the place. Tony walks around the room and great all the guests. His kids are either cooking or waiting tables. There aren't many true family restaurants left in the area. It's comforting to see Jem surviving the pandemic and coming back strong. Let's try to keep it going for another 47 years. Note: Cash only, tax included in the price (there's an ATM).

    Sadly posted hours on website and door said til 2. At 1:15 we were told they closed at 1. Won't be back. Saw two other cars do the same. If they can afford to turn away business, I can take it elsewhere

    Went there for the first time when I found them on Facebook 2 weeks ago. Food did not disappoint. Pumpkin Pancakes exceeded my expectations. Staff was beyond super friendly.

It's a fun place to unwind and run into familiar faces. When the lunch bell sounds, the line forms swiftly, as the masses gather to devour their hoagies and onion rings. There's a nice mix between cold food, like salads and wraps, and hot foods, a majority of which fall into the soup and chili categories. At first glance, what initially comes off as a casual cafe bistro, shows off a surprisingly robust menu upon further inspection. In the spring months, sitting outside in the painstakingly crafted campus, with its obligatory man-made pond, is the preferred way to break up the day and maybe even get a little tan. In the backdrop, the blue sky shimmers off the reflective windows of each looming building, a perfect union of work and play. I am thrilled for the owners, who nearly had to close their doors for good during the COVID-induced shutdown years back. Now, with CEOs leading their return-to-office crusades around the country, the hardworking corporate café worker can once again flourish.

    Absolutely amazing place for lunch. I work very close by and stop in about once a week. I've never…read morehad a bad meal here! The owner is incredibly nice and takes the time to chat with people. My favorite thing here is the tuna melt - it's the best I've ever tried. There is ample seating inside and outside as well. It does get pretty busy (with a line) around noon, so plan accordingly :)
