tl;dr don't waste your time or money here PLEASE!!!!! I came here with my partner for an early dinner. It didn't seem too busy yet, most of the tables were empty. After getting our menus and putting in our drink orders, it took almost half an hour for a waiter to come back to take our dinner orders, and we had to wave one down ourselves. The menu itself is way too long. They are doing way too much on their menu, Greek and Italian. So gyro meat, pasta, club sandwiches, paninis, and fried seafood, salads, and more. I got the spanakopita as an appetizer. It was so soggy, the crust was wet and hard to cut through. But the slice itself had clean cuts -- very obviously frozen and reheated. For mains, I ordered the Jine's chicken and pasta. For a dish that is named after the restaurant, you would think this would be one of the best things on the menu, a dish they might put a lot of effort into (for $21!!!!). The chicken was SO CLEARLY frozen breaded chicken that was reheated. The breading was soggy/slimey in the pasta sauce. There was nothing special about the pasta itself, could definitely get better at Olive Garden for far less money. My partner ordered a baked salmon dinner special with apple chutney, feta, and rice. The salmon seemed to be cooked well, but not well seasoned. The rice clearly came out of a packet. It had little square carrot pieces in it, the kind that come from frozen bags of veggies and rice (picture). Every single thing was topped with the same dry looking red cabbage, kale, and lemons (in the rice pic). I also got a sangria that was so watered down. Full dinner for a little over 60$ definitely tasted like soggy frozen food worth less that 20 bucks. Super annoyed. If you enjoy good Mediterranean food and drinks, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE. read more

Jines Restaurant - Greek Near Me - Rochester, New York

Jines is a family favorite of ours when we are in Rochester, and the location is great! Nestled right in the middle of the shops, cafes, restaurants, and bakeries of Park Avenue, it's a great place to stop for breakfast (our personal fav) or lunch while exploring the street. Inside, there are many tables and even counter seating. It feels like a diner but the way it is designed/decorated its much nicer than your typical diner. The decor flows nicely with the charm of Park Ave and the older city homes. The staff has been lovely every time we have visited and they always are very sweet and interact with our toddlers. The food is delicious! We have never had a bad meal. My husband typically orders an omelet and I usually get the waffles and soup. Every time we go my daughter HAS to have a hot chocolate lol. You get a lot of bang for your buck too. Can't wait to get back! read more

Jines is an excellent spot to grab a bite to eat. The neighborhood is adorable. I love their outdoor seating. The real reason to come, though, is the food. It's always super tasty! Their breakfast is amazing! As are the mimosas. I even love to order on DoorDash sometimes when I need something inexpensive but high quality after a 12h shift. Excellent restaurant. Great servers as well! Everyone is quite friendly and accommodating! read more

The waitress Ellen was welcoming and kind. Overall the only problem we had was the wait time and some of the meals need to be checked before getting sent out to the table. For example: we were told to wait 30 min and we would get a text message. I came in a little after 30 min they told me to wait. Then they called me in about 15 min later. the eggs Benedict were on the colder side. read more

I usually go to this spot but today I went and wasn't even gonna go all out go scrambled eggs with bacon and a croissant w some fruit ! They slapped everything on one plate they gave me a omelette instead of it being scrambled bacon was gummy n not crispy and I legit had to send it back 3 times the third time STILL LOOKED STEPPED ON ! Took it off the bill ! And when I asked the bald waiter ( that I always have a problem with by the way ) said " do you want me to just have them cut it up for you back there " uhm no I would like them prepared how they should be respectfully I could of made it better at home and WILL BE from now on! When the manager asked how was the food I told him the cook is lazy and needs to be fired and his answer was "well he made me 11 thousand today so " I said wsll that's great he's making you money but he still can't cook ! He didn't even care how he served us !!! PLAIN BLASPHEMOUS!!! Deff not going back anytime soon unless it's for the one sweet girl with black the pigtails and tatts n the older lady and Trish but everyone else needs to take notes from them !! And the cook just simply needs to be replaced and the manager as well !! Or whoever that was !!!! If ur the owner u need to CARE MORE ! It's not all about money read more

It was MY pleasure to introduce a newcomer-to-ROC to Jine's for breakfast! I told her, "This is a Rochester INSTITUTION!" :) Fantastic service (as always!) All staff masked and protocoled (plexiglass at booths, no shared utensils or dishes such as maple syrup pitchers or creamers ... all so nice to see they're still trying to keep diners and staff safe!) DELICIOUS Sunday breakfast of Eggs Florentine and Cinnamon Swirl French Toast. Went early, to beat the church crowds. No wait for table! Price is right, portions huge, warm hospitality, speedy service! Love Jine's!!! Always have -- always will! read more

What a great little diner. I had the eggs benedict with a side of fresh tomatoes and the hollandaise sauce was savory, the English muffin was perfectly toasted, and the slab of Canadian bacon was generous. This was much better than the sloppy eggs benedict at Highland Park Diner (the hollaindaise there was almost translucent, as though made with a corn starch filler). I also ordered the avgolemono but wished it had a richer stock flavor. I'd still come back to try other things on the menu. The service from the host, waitress, to bussing staff was happy, efficient, and attentive. read more

Jines was able to accommodate our "quadruple date" on a Saturday morning for brunch. We picked Jines because of their 5 dollar mimosas - a necessary when dealing with that many people without coffee. Jines is a fairly priced restaurant with several standard breakfast and brunch staples. The food was of amazing quality and the service was impeccable. Our waitress even offered to split the bill by couple for us so we didn't have to fumble with math. Between the 8 of us, we had omelettes, pancakes, waffles, avocado toast, and a bunch of other things. Everybody at the table was happy with their food. We had tons of mimosas and a bunch of coffees. Our waitress checked in on us several times but never seemed to hover, which I always appreciate. read more

Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got (before my meal, so-called bread) I'm still eating at Jine's on the block Used to order little, now I get a lot I'm still, I'm still at Jine's at the block Pretty awesome Diner in Rochester where they have all kinds of goodies and deliciousness. I've also been swindled I mean suede I mean persuaded (damn you voice prediction) into trying their banana bread bread french toast before and it's actually pretty good. I'm not usually into things like that but they do make a good effort with it and it's pretty unique and original and a lot better than some of the Hipster versions of itself. I still have to explore the menu more but it's definitely one of the better diners I've been through in the Manchester, I mean Rochester, area and I'm looking forward to my next visit. read more

I always have great service when I visit here. In this day I was so satisfied. I finally found my go to meal. The hash and eggs where perfectly crisp. No fat in the mean and the eggs just cheese. The star of the day was the Apple Jack waffle. Why aren't we funding this???? It taste like amazing apple pie. Paired with my apple cider mimosa which I'm sure was more LIQUOR THAN JUICe so you know where to come. Wink wink Love Jines, period. I won't rant about how the restaurant next door closes their kitchen an hour before they close while, Jines wanted to get that money & stayed seating people up until 3pm. I fully support that. read more

Jines is the place you bring out-of-towners for brunch to check out the Park Ave scene. Food is consistently good, portions are large and pricing is reasonable. It's a little more expensive than your average breakfast joint, but at the same time, it's also classier without the greasy-spoon feel. They have a wide assortment of omelets and sandwiches. Service is consistently good and I feel like I never have to wait too long for a table, even during prime time. read more

A classic breakfast option here in Rochester, Jines holds a special place in my heart! I keep returning to Jines for the delicious and consistent food, variety of menu options, and friendly staff. Even on the busiest of weekend days, I have never had a problem getting a table within a reasonable time frame. Sitting outside and people/dog watching on lunch is a common activity for many as well! I am a big fan of the spinach, tomato, and feta omelet, and have also enjoyed their eggs benny on a number of occasions. The coffee is your standard diner coffee - nothing too special there. They are open on a number of holidays and my boyfriend and I have made a tradition of starting our Fourth of July with breakfast at Jines. I tend to always go for the more savory breakfast options, but the pancakes at Jines are absolutely delish, and I usually end up stealing a few bites from my date each time we go. If you haven't been to Jines in a while I would recommend heading back ASAP for the wonderful staff and delicious breakfast noms. read more

Came here on a blistery weekend afternoon and we were able to snag a booth without too much difficulty, which surprised me. Menu is HUGE and we had both breakfast and lunch options. I was surprised to see everything from bacon and eggs to seafood and Mediterranean options. I tried the chai latte as well as an omelet with mushrooms and subbed blue cheese for mozzarella. There were plenty of toast options to choose from which I appreciated. Everything was well done and tasty and did not break the bank at all. I felt like there was something for everyone there. Would definitely come back if I'm ever craving brunch. A classic of Rochester. read more

Delicious, satisfying food! We came here on a Sunday with a larger party, so the wait was fairly long. We expected it though and knew beforehand we would have to wait so it was fine. Once we were seated, the service was quick and friendly. I tried their eggs enchilada with veggie chili. It was great! My whole party was happy with their food and the portions were large and worth it for the price! I like their wide variety of egg dishes and it seems like they have different fun specials throughout the year. read more

We have been coming to this restaurant for years. On 12/20 we had a very disappointing experience. Food was good, as always, but service was awful. A waiter, Tony L., was rude from the minute he approached the table. Never asked how our meals were and when we needed a refill (one only) he acted annoyed and we ended up asking another server, who was very efficient and pleasant. Someone with his attitude should not be in the customer service business. read more

Huge portions at great prices. And tasty too! Well worth a stop when you're in the neighborhood.

Came here on a Friday night with a friend. Kind of spur of the moment. The service was quick and the prices reasonable. I had the Greek salad and the spanakopita. It was filling. I had a choice or chicken breast or marinated pork. read more

Can't believe this is the first time I am leaving a review here as we have been multiple times, always for breakfast! This is out second time during the pandemic visiting, and both times we have sat outside. It was a bit chilly today but they have recently installed some heating lamps above the tables next to the building outside! Major plus especially for those cool spring days, cool summer mornings/nights etc! The staff is friendly (as usually) and super attentive! Our waiter made sure we had everything we needed and still kept stopping to make sure we were ok, which I truly appreciate especially since most businesses are so short handed these days! My husband ordered Benedict Michelle and I had the Italian sausage frittata, both were amazing! Our coffees were constantly full and warm, and the heat lamp above kept us cozy enough! I think I actually enjoy sitting outside when it's cool out because there are no bugs!! Win win!! We will be back again soon! PS pro tip - go early on the weekends (we were there about 9:30AM and would've had to wait to eat inside.) read more

Scored an outdoor table on the first nice day in ROC! We had our dog with us as well. Service was friendly. They bought a bowl of water for the dog too! They love all the dogs!

Wonder dinner at Jines. I had the tuna steak with a veggie. It was cooked exactly as I wanted it. Their menu offers a lot of choices so we have to go back again and again. We can't wait to go back for breakfast. They have lots of indoor seating. Terrific wait staff. Thanks Mickayla! There are a few outdoor tables too. read more

Met my friend for lunch Friday at 11:30, place was jammed already but got in within 5 minutes. Menu is massive, something for everyone, so lots of choices. My friend opted for breakfast omelet, while I had the turkey club, both were fresh, hot, and scrumptious. Host, waitress, and busser were all friendly, attentive, and kind to us, Price for 2 was around $35.00 which is fair, definitely will be back when in the Park Ave area. Outdoor seating is fun as well if you like to people watch :) read more

I have always loved Jines. I always have great service and great food when I go there. I love that they have outdoor seating along Park Ave in the summer. They also make all of their soups and dressings in-house and this shows the caliber of this place. Today a friend brought me breakfast takeout and they did a fantastic job! I wish I had taken a picture of my breakfast in the to-go box because everything was separate for my avocado toast so that I could warm things up if I needed to and then assemble it. I reheated the eggs fr a few in the microwave, put the toast in the toaster for a minute and then assembled everything. It was perfect and delicious! I'd definitely do it again! read more

First time here, didn't wait to be seated and we were waited on right away. The staff was super courteous and very helpful with suggestions since it was our first time seeing the menu. The mimosas are to die for; we shared 3 of the flavors. I'd suggest you stick the house specialties because that's what we had however if I had the room and/or the time I'd sample the entire menu. I will definitely visit here again for brunch, and or dinner. Shame we're heading back home tonight. Many kudos to Rafael... read more

Jines has made a huge comeback in my book. First of all, the spicy Bloody Mary is probably the best Bloody Mary I've ever had!!

We had a great experience here. We were seated almost immediately & same with the food. It pretty much came out 5-10 minutes after ordering.. I've always had a good 10-15 minute wait to be seated( maybe we show up late ) Food was hot and delicious. We both ordered the omelets. There wasnt a side which I forgot about. The sauce for hollandaise sauces as kinda bland but the whole entree was delicious. read more

Just an overall good experience. I came here with three friends of mine for dinner. Our waitress was great and the food was awesome! I ended up getting the mahi-mahi and they let me switch out the rice pilaf for veggies. After dinner they came around to show off some of the best looking desserts I've seen in a very long time. None of us got one which is something I'm still regretting a day later. read more

What I like about Jines that it's great for all times! You walk in and you can have breakfast for dinner or lunch! I sit at the bar when I go there by myself, nice, professional and quick services. This time I had the three cheese with turkey sausage omlett and it was delicious. I like that you can sit at the bar and won't smell any smoke or heavy cooking odor from the kitchen, seemed like their ventilation system is pretty good. Been a costumer for a very long time and still like this place! read more

Best homemade hash... if you order the eggs Benedict/hash special, you will not regret it. 5/5 from my family!

Okay, found my sweet spot. Anything of the eggs benny selections, delicious. That and a 20oz space kitty and I'm, a happy guy.

Had a cheddar cheese & bacon omlette. They use 4 eggs. The thick Italian toast was good. Gluten free reuben was good as well. Nutrition guide provided was helpful. Server was real good. Prices were reasonable. read more

Wide variety of food. Great service. Best gyro I've he in a long while and the fries were my favorite.

Great service. We were waiting on someone and never felt rushed even though it was busy. Food was good but service was above and beyond.

During my recent visit home to the Rochester area, we went to Jines for Sunday brunch at the recommendation of a friend. Wow! I've found a new breakfast place to go to when I go home to visit my family. I can't believe I've never heard of or been at Jines before. The wait was only 15 minutes, and because it was a nice day, I opted for first available seating (indoor or out). I was given a warning by the hostess, though, that there were bees outside. We saw some buzzing around the crowded tables outside, but we decided to risk it since they weren't doing any harm and seemed to be buzzing mostly around people who had pancakes with syrup (which we weren't planning on ordering). The first available table was outside. And, yes, there were occasional bees. In hindsight, I probably would have asked for indoors instead because of them, but it was fine overall. Now, onto the food. First, I love that the menu had SO many options. There are many omelette options; many Benedict options; other egg options; and many waffle, pancake, and French toast options. I got to try something new, but then there are so many different new things for me to try on future visits. The prices are surprisingly very reasonable as well. The breakfast Poutine (topped with eggs) sound intriguing and amazing, but I decided to go with the Housemade Hash Benedict. It combined two of my favorite breakfast dishes -- Eggs Benedict and Corned Beef Hash. The hash had a sweet flavor to it, and it was all delicious and just the right size. My friend ordered the Wild Mushroom and Crumbled Blue Cheese Omelette because she had it the week before and loved it. If you're a fan of mushrooms (I'm not), you'd fall in love with this dish. It was FILLED with shitake and portobello mushrooms. And I'm sure the tangy blue cheese added a nice salty flavor. We ordered coffee to start, but then we noticed there was flavored coffee on the menu. When our server came around with a coffee pot for refills, we inquired about the flavored. She said there was French vanilla and hazelnut. Each of us requested a different one (sorry!) and she said she'd be back later with those. Unfortunately, getting flavored coffee refills wasn't as easy as regular coffee, so I think next time I'd stick to getting regular coffee on a more regular basis than intermittent flavored coffee. I'll definitely go back to Jines for breakfast during my next visit in town, and might even try dinner as well! read more
