If you were into great music oldies, of course a classic feel of going back in time to the 1950s. This is your spot. The place was extremely clean. I love the decor. The ambience of the place was super retro. The Service was on point. Our server was kind, friendly and she gave suggestions and the food was good. We ordered two sampler plates to get a little feel of everything. Their zucchini is delicious. It's not overwhelming sometimes that's all you taste is zucchini and not what you're looking for. It had a nice balance. The wings were delicious. I would stick more to the American food. I didn't really care for the Mexican food. I'm very traditional when I wanna go for Mexican food but definitely worth a shot but like I say you try and then decide. read more

John G.'s review touched on the same sentiments I had about the country gravy -- it was mediocre. I would go a step further and say it was inferior. I make that statement with 45 years in food service and more pots of gravy behind me than I can count. I ordered the biscuits and gravy, and it was certainly disappointing. The biscuit was very flat, with no lift or life to it. The gravy had a grayish color and a chunky texture that wasn't pleasant to look at. It lacked flavor, richness, and the depth you expect from a proper milk‑based gravy made with a roux from sausage drippings. Even the enjoyment of finding bits of sausage just wasn't there. I did speak to the owner about these issues. With a friendly smile, she mentioned another place I could visit. I'm not sure what she meant to communicate, but it came across as, "If you don't like it, go somewhere else," just delivered politely. On the positive side, John G. was right -- the service was very good, and the place was clean, including the restroom. read more

This is a really cute diner. You can tell that someone really took their time designing the decor. It looks like a fifties style diner with red booths and old movie star posters everywhere. What's great is that the menu includes both American and Mexican food items, both for breakfast and lunch. They also serve breakfast and lunch all day. Their chicken fried steak and gravy was quite good, and so was the French toast. We also enjoyed the chilaquiles and taquitos. Our waitress was lovely and came to check on us often. read more

5-Star Review…read more Jenny's Diner has quickly become one of my favorite local breakfast spots! If you're looking for a classic American diner with generous portions, friendly service, and fair prices, this is it. My mom ordered the Lite Breakfast, and I had Jenny's Country Breakfast. Everything was cooked just right--the eggs were perfect, the hash browns were crispy, the bacon and sausage were flavorful, and the toast was buttery and fresh. The coffee kept coming, and our total for two breakfasts and two coffees was only about $29 before tip, which is hard to beat these days. The atmosphere is exactly what you want from a neighborhood diner--red booths, checkerboard floors, Route 66 décor, vintage license plates, and a welcoming hometown feel. You can tell this is a place where regulars come to catch up over breakfast. Most importantly, the staff was friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. We'll definitely be back. If you're in Highland and craving a hearty breakfast without breaking the bank, Jenny's Diner is well worth the visit!

It's SoCal's only mom and pop 50's diner that's not part of some larger franchise or owned by big corpo (at least that's what I assume). Interior distinctly has the charm of a roadside diner with the 50's themed framed portraits, black and white checkered floors and the splash of red throughout. Some roadside charm to it too with license plates on the wall and the good ol' Route 66 sign. We only got to stop by quickly since we got take out as the rest of our group was still asleep, but this made for a great later brunch, probably actually lunch at this point. It's standard diner food, greasy pick me up for hungry and exhausted or hung over people or if you want something to tide you over before you hit the road. Either way, our food came out quickly and packed very nicely. Portions are quite generous and although it's not the highest quality of food (fries got styrofoamy a tad too fast and some of the meat was dry), nothing some ketchup and sauce didn't fix and the spaghetti and fish were actually pretty good. I wouldn't mind returning one day to dine in and get the full experience.

Jovi's Diner: Retro Vibes, Mixed Bites Spotted this place while driving by and decided to give it a shot. The retro look caught my eye, and the experience was decent overall. Deluxe Cheeseburger & Fries: Ordered with grilled onions. Burger was decent, fries were fine, nothing standout, but satisfying. The ranch, though, leaned heavily into a blue cheese flavor, which didn't work for me. Drinks: Sierra Mist came in a surprisingly large cup -- props for that. I also tried a strawberry margarita, and I wouldn't do that again. Tasted like cheap mix, watered down by crushed ice. Big glass, but not worth it. Dessert: Grabbed a slice of apple pie to go. Forgot to ask if it was homemade, but it tasted store-bought. Not bad, just average. Ambiance: Definitely retro. Old-school music, classic diner feel -- if you're into that, it delivers. Service: Great. My server was kind and actually recommended the deluxe cheeseburger, which I appreciated. I'd come back to try something else on the menu, but I'll skip the margarita and pie next time. Solid spot if you're looking for a nostalgic diner experience with friendly service. read more

This diner has been open for a lil over a year and I come in here at least once a week and they are pretty busy but they still go out of there way to please you. I recommend the pineapple spinach water it's very refreshing especially on a hot summer day !!! I always order 2 chillies torreados witch compliment any plate !!!! I recommend the crane assada aka mexicana it's a tender steak with a cheese enchilada made with there delicious red sauce and rice and beans and tortillas Or a ham turkey bacon club with French fries they put a pickle slice on the side that makes it extra delicious Any way my foods here and I'm ready to eat !!! read more

My wife and I are regulars here so this review is long overdue but our favorite things to order is the Chilaquiles Verde with steak and a Chorizo Breakfast burrito with beans. It's delicious and always fresh especially with their house salsa. The servers here are always friendly. Today Stephanie served us and she's always cheerful and provides a great service. Definitely recommend coming here. 5/5 Food and Service. (We were halfway with our food when I remembered to take a picture that's how good the food is) read more

The Western Bacon Burger here at Jovi's Diner was an absolute delight - perfectly balanced flavors, fresh ingredients cooked to perfection, and a presentation that was almost too beautiful to eat. Every bite was a burst of flavor, making this one of the best meals I've had in a long time. The service provided was great thank you so much Stephanie. If you love to take a trip back in time to the 50's this is the perfect spot for you 50's vibe and love the music that plays it is guaranteed to make you sing. read more

Jovi's Diner gave the best first impression! My pancakes were perfectly fluffy and buttery, while my dad's chilaquiles were crispy and packed with just the right amount of spice. The service was great, our server, Stephanie, was attentive and kept our coffee cups full without missing a beat. The retro vibe of the diner, with its bold colors and nostalgic decor, added to the charm. Great food, excellent service, and a fun atmosphere make this a must-visit breakfast spot! read more

Look of the diner was really cool. The food was not what I expected. I ordered coffee and a few drinks. To our disappointment the coffee was old and the mug and drink cups were dirty. We ordered a variety of things on the menu. Bacon cheese burger, chilaquiles, and enchilada. The burger was plain, and the bun was smashed almost flat. The chilaquiles were bland. I was very disappointed. read more

I have been eating here every Saturday for almost a year. I always have the Huevos Rancheros. The best in San Bernardino. The service is always good and the staff very friendly. When Jovi is working she makes it a priority to engage each guest in a polite conversation. I would highly encourage everyone to give this restaurant a try. You will not be disappointed. read more

I had the best experience today at Flor's Diner. My wife and I at breakfast and it was delicious…read more The service was very friendly and on point. This experience was very enjoyable.

Cute little Spot tho, the food don't live for it. Everything…read moreis tasteless, yeah you have A salt and pepper shaker on the table but great good food should Taste great the way it comes out of the kitchen, when you don't have to add anything to try to fix it. And unfortunately, this is what happens here. I was craving Machaca and eggs and after doing a research on google we found this place and we thought, been close to home in Colton we don't have to drive to go to our usual spots but obviously they don't know what machaca is at this place. You know, the dry beef that our parents and grandparents used to season and put out to try directly to the sunlight. Then chopped and scrambled it with eggs and Sauce or at least onions,bell peppers,jalapeños and tomatoes. So I ordered that and as soon as the waitress asked me, how do I want the eggs cooked,I said to myself uh oh ! Is machaca, is supposed to be scrambled. She said that some customers prefer over easy or other way cooked and I thought to myself then that's not machaca that's gonna be steak and eggs. I know even in Mexico dishes vary from place to place but at least there are some basics to them. This was just shredded Pot Roast and the eggs barely touching it no salt no flavor as for the country potatoes same,no salt no seasoning at all. Which tells me; they don't know what country potatoes are either. Just cubes of boiled unseasoned potatoes. Tortillas were bad look old already shredding and hard. We also ordered the breakfast carne asada torta and the meat looked like a hamburger patty also unsalted and no flavor at all Luckily the waitress offered salsas and brought some very spicy ones, which we were forced to use in order to make the food more tolerable. I think the Best part was the Coca-Cola which was $3.75 not to bad for a restaurant but no refill. I finished mine half way through my meal or at least the two/three bites I was able to take form the plate, and wasn't offer another one, come on! even if you charge for the refill you offer it, to make more money, but then when paying our bill, I over heard the customer behind us asking about the refill and their waitress told him he would get One refill so she gave it to him. It feels like this Mexican restaurant is aimed more to the white, stomach sensitive customer. This is definitely the Mexican version of Hospital food.

The place has been updated already once to add more seating . There is Also some seats available outside on the patio. Some of my favorites. Ham and egg breakfast sandwich don't forget to add cheese . Also love the zucchini you can never go wrong with that at vickys . Also love the French toast .

First off, this joint survives because it's convenient for the neighborhood. That's really what…read morekeeps it alive. The place is filthy and looks like no one ever cleans it. The dining area appears to be a patio that was converted into an enclosed seating area. You can still see the original pillars and brickwork, which don't match the rest of the decor. There was also a car show flyer taped to the front door for an event in Riverside that happened last October. That's just lazy. How hard is it to clean up and remove outdated signs? To me, that's an indicator of a lazy staff, and I don't want a lazy staff preparing my food. The guy at the order window is short with customers and rushes you while ordering. He won't make substitutions, either. The problem is that he's also the gatekeeper for all the condiments and napkins. The dining area is basically just a box with a trash can, you don't have access to anything yourself. Whatever he decides to give you is what you get. There's no room for discussion. Now for the FOOD I ordered three chicken-fried burgers, and there was absolutely no consistency between them. I added pickles to all three, but one burger had only a single pickle. One burger was as dry as the Dead Sea, with no mayonnaise at all. Another had the right amount of mayonnaise, but the lettuce was mostly white stems. Goldilocks wouldn't be able to find a burger that was "just right" at this place. The fries were a mix of undercooked and burnt, which is impressive in all the wrong ways. The portion was also ridiculously small. For the price of the combo, you'd think they could provide a reasonable amount of fries. As for the chicken-fried patty itself, it was paper-thin, about as thick as two quarters stacked together. I like my chicken thick, like my wife's Mexican booty. Overall, don't go out of your way to stop here. If you don't live nearby, there's nothing worth writing home about. They're incredibly stingy with their portions, condiments, and napkins. I've eaten in some real dumps before. Hell, I've eaten kangaroo, raw beef, and even camel while sitting on the floor and eating with my hands, and those experiences beat this place. Save your money and go to Red Robin, or even walk across the street to Pizza Loca.
