This restaurant had a charming appearance, but the service was lacking from the start. With only one front-of-house staff member and one back-of-house staff member, the service was slow. When we arrived, there were only a few occupied tables. It took 15 minutes to be greeted, and then we waited 40 minutes for our meals. Unfortunately, the food did not taste homemade, which was disappointing given the prices. However, the food was served hot. Every table received the same level of service, which included taking orders, delivering drinks and food, and requiring patrons to retrieve their bills at the register. No plates were cleared, and refills were not offered. Considering the $15-$20 per person price range for breakfast, I expected fresher ingredients and better service. read more

Man this place has fallen of sense they sold it. The food pales in comparison. They should have by all means changed the name when they sold. Jesses was a family own business that had built a spectacular reputation for years. It is, deceitful to think you will get the food, cleanliness or serves that you once got here. What you will get is a long wait time after being seated, a different menu, less than mediocre food and you get to see the cooks very unkept appearance and the waitress butt cheeks. Very disappointing! read more

The portion was Very small. I ordered a Philly steak melt and there was not enough meat on the sandwich for $14.75. I found it a little insulting to serve that little of meat and charge that much. Waffle House gives more filling in a melt. Also, the time it took to get our food was long and the food came out in 4 parts. By the time the first person had finished eating, the last person had not been served. I've waited tables, been a cook and this issue seems to be a staffing issue..... not enough people in the kitchen. read more

That's not necessarily a bad thing, just nothing out of the ordinary. The service was super friendly, and they had a solid selection of classic breakfast options, which I appreciated.

It hit the spot for a quick breakfast while in the area.
