I love JTs. Great (and might i add VERY CHEAP!) food and an amazing atmosphere. dont be scared of the long line - the wait in my experience has never been longer than a half hour on their busiest days. Keep your phone in your pocket, eat, and get out! :) Thems the rules ;) read more

This is my favorite breakfast spot!! The staff feels like family. I love the chocolate chip pancakes with bacon.

This place is one of a kind. I love the way you're treated here. It was packed and noisy, but you expect that on a late Saturday morning. Got seated quickly and coffee was being poured seconds later. Food came quickly and it was hot. I had one of the best breakfast I've had in a long time. Ultimate omelet and it was fantastic. Home fries were really good, and plenty of butter on the toast. We will be returning. read more

Will the facility itself is beautiful it's just a couple years old and it was very well done and thought-out it can seat a lot of people inside without looking too crowded or busy the owner does an excellent job of getting people seated when she's there which is quite often I've also noticed that the staff there is very well trained and everything is very well-thought-out you never have to wait on hot coffee or a fresh fountain pop which by the way is very good food is always excellent hot forces are well done I love the way they do blue waffles special with the berries on them and the whip cream so the owner Tina has always something a wisecracker something to say to you that's their stick their that's one of the things that keeps people coming back I believe so I had a great time I try to go there once or twice a week sometimes three times but it's always excellent food if you have nothing else better to do on a Saturday and it's raining now go see him for breakfast she won't be disappointed! read more

We love this place! Part of the ambience of this place is being served with sarcasm ....in a friendly way that makes it really fun! The waitress that was there was very fast, fun, and hysterical. It's entertaining and you smile the whole time you're eating because you're hearing everybody else's insults and sarcasm. Reminds me of the Howl at the Moon . It's like sitting on a sit-com reality ?show ! Want to start your day right? Have your breakfast here. You leave with a smile on your face...! Now that's priceless. read more

We went here last fall and the food was okay, but the service was beyond rude. I know, some people like that, but I'll take my business elsewhere. There are plenty of other places that have great food AND great service (and don't need to resort to being rude to be unique). read more

JT's diner is a blast with good food for very cheap. Tina, the owner and waitress is over the top. She shouts at customers, insults them, tweeks their nipples now and again and they love it! If you are uptight or conservative this is probably not your place. If you love banter with a funny broad who won't take your sh!t, then this is all you! Try the eggs benedict. It is the best. And protect your nipples. read more

Good food abuse by the owner made me feel like I was home.

Always great food with funny staff. Bring your sense of humor or stay out!

Fun breakfast/lunch place. Place is loud from the crowds and the staff yells above them. But that is what makes it so great. So if you are looking for a quiet place, this may not be your best bet. Food is great, service is fast. The staff all help each other out. Good breakfast options and prices are great. Don't use your cellphone in there unless you want to get embarrassed. But because people aren't on their phones they're talking and that's awesome. Can't wait to try it for lunch sometime. read more

I love this place. I have been coming here for years. Teena is the owner and server. If you read some reviews people will say that shes, loud, obnoxious and rude. She might be all those things but like she says "If you don't like it then go to Bob Evans". She will take away your cell phones, Ipods or any other gadget and tell you to talk with the people at your table. I think its awesome! Food is great and the price is even better. read more

Soggy and cold waffles, mediocre bacon and "stuffed" pancakes that have the stuffing on the outside. Next!

My wife had a ob baby check up this morning at 9:15 so we decided to head over to jt's to grab breakfast beforehand. I have been to jt's a few times a long time ago at the old location at the end of lost nation rd. This was our first time at the new location. Very nice inside spacious great booths very roomy (they could use padding as it hurts your butt a little). My wife got French toast with a side order of hashbrowns and I got a cup of coffee(was really good and mellow not bitter at all) as well as a veggie omelet with rye toast and hash browns, my omlet was not bad but it was what it was a omlet. What I really enjoyed was my hash browns. nice chunks of potatoes that make make me think of pillows. Nice crispy out sides. My 2 year old son was making a mess and tossing plastic coffee cups and silverware on the floor and the owner was totally cool with it. It gets a bit loud in there and I heard words like dork loser and sush being said but that is just what this place is and I'm good with that. We spent about 14$ for breakfast and that includes our tip. I recommend coming here diffenetly if you live in the area. oh and one last note I asked her to only fill my coffee cup on half way and her response was do not tell me what to do lol made me chuckle at 8 am read more

See all

A great place for the family to go for a quick morning breakfast. Very fun atmosphere, the kids will love it! The waitress (the only waitress) is so funny! Don't go if you don't like people who yell or have a big sense of humor. I have been going there for quiet some time now and enjoy going so much. This is my favorite place to eat breakfast. They also do serve lunch later on, but they close after lunch time. Otherwise, enjoy! read more

One of my favorite places for a fast breakfast! Their moto is eat and get out... very nice decor and spunky waitress! Food is great and very reasonably priced! It's signs on the wall are amusing. Not a place to sit and chat. It's like I said eat and get out! Would recommend it to everyone! read more

Love this place. The owner is awesome. She filled my mouth with whipped cream as she was walking past me. The best hangover wake up ever. The food is absolutely delicious the coffee is delicious even the god damn water is delicious. I love it. She's the best read more

The building is awesome, food is kick ass, but the owner was the down fall of the experience. She was super loud, rude to her staff and customers, and she may think it's funny, and cute, but sadly I will not be coming back. read more

Freaking awesome and funny, was in town for the boat races and came for breakfast. The owner Tina is the funniest owner/waitress I've ever met (and cute, as is all the girls). She started breaking our balls as soon as we came through the door. Food was really good, I can't wait to visit again next year, see ya then Dorks ;-) read more

Really great foods. Came here on last Saturday for breakfast. And you can't beat their price anywhere else. Beside the foods n the price, they have super great lady who was so friendly. I just love how friendly she is n she just makes you feel so welcome. I will be back since this is a place my brother n his wife love to go. Thank you for amazing foods. read more

Absolutely fantastic place to eat breakfast! Teena is awesome....she looks nothing like, but totally reminds me of "Flo" from the old sitcom Alice. Nothing like having a great mean and then being told to "GET OUT DORK"! read more

Best place for good food fast! If you got shit to do and your hungry come here I love the new place and the owner is always graciously lovely! I would have posted my breakfast but I ate it so fast I forgot! read more

Breakfast is good! The omelettes are good size, coffee is hot and plentiful, and prices are awesome! My only complaint is the toaster must be on the lowest setting - it comes out barely hot but my husband loves his toast that. Other than that, we've never had a bad meal! read more

This is by far the best breakfast spot in Lake County! Been going here for years and now with the new location its even better. Great service, food, amazing food and always consistent! Highly recommended! read more

Great breakfast, quick service, tasty food, and super reasonable prices. They refilled my coffee cup so many times that you couldn't drain it an inch! My wife loved the strong coffee too:) Will come here again next time we are around! read more

Great place , wonderful food, good price . Love it est here alot. Could not be better.

Was in the mood for some eggs at lunch and we did not want to go to a chain. We arrived to find most of the tables full. I took this as a good sign. Sat a a roomy booth. Server came by with menus I ordered an omelette. It came to the table hot and filled with everything I like. Potatoes were crispy. We were in and out in under 30 minutes. This was an added bonus due to the travel to get to Jt's from my work. As I looked at what other people were eating the meatloaf looked amazing. I may be tempted to try it on my next visit. read more

JT's Diner slogan is "East and Get Out, Dork!" so if you lack a sense of humor avoid this place! Always yummy food at very reasonable prices. The best biscuits and gravy. Fresh homemade soups,awesome onion rings and burgers- your order is cooked quickly and to perfection. It's a small place and tons of fun. For an adventurous soul try this place, you'll really enjoy it! read more

Large portions, low prices, and speedy service. Oh, and there's Tina

Everything a great diner should be and is .... loud sometimes, but service and food are first class... highly recommend

Great food!! However, if you want a quiet, respectful atmosphere in which to dine ... JTs falls WAY short. I understand that the waitress/co-owner is a good person, but her antics are way over the top and out of bounds. I felt verbally assaulted, and left feel raw and aggravated. Not the way I had hoped to have breakfast. The meals are great, but the "culture" of the place needs an over-haul!! read more

Best breakfast place in Willoughby! Staff is great and food is delicious! Its worth the wait if you go on the weekends, its always packed out the door! read more

This place is awesome! I've heard about this place for years and finally decided to check it out. The food is great but the service is the difference. The owner who is also a server is a huge personality. If you are easily insulted this isn't your place. But if you can handle it and have fun with it I highly recommend coming here read more

My mother in law and father in law introduced my hubbs and I to this restaurant before it moved to its new location. The owner is friggin amazing! For all the others who have complained about the "rudeness", it's supposed to be part of the experience and they were obviously unaware. Her employees are equally amazing! Tina is such a great lady! We will continuously go back to this restaurant!!!! I love JT's!!!!!!! The food is really good and the service is always on point. read more

Never got a chance to try the food. When we arrived at 9:30 AM on a Wednesday morning, there was short line out the door waiting to get inside. As she was scolding me to close the door, I asked the woman at the register how long she expected the wait to be. She curtly told me they she really didn't know and to stand aside and wait. She had a few more choice words for me as I walked out the door to find another place for breakfast with more friendly personnel. Maybe she was having a bad day, but I doubt we'll be back to try again. read more

We had the best breakfast today and we love Tina 2 ate for 18.18 Have a good new year

Sorry food was just ok, felt rushed...I can deal with rude but really? How do they what mood you are in or feelings that day. I decided to try with brothers on a somber day for us dealing with illness in family and such. We just wanted breakfast and some coffee. They just wanted to flip table.... we'll stick with Bob Evans where we talk and relax and not be comically insulted. If it's your thing this is the place. read more

Both breakfast and lunch are really good. Food comes out fast. Love the atmosphere. If you're looking for a place to hang out and talk during a long meal, this is not it. But if you're in the mood for good food served fast, this is the place! and their prices are decent! read more

The food here is reasonably priced and usually pretty good.. unfortunately the last few times I have been there I got to go orders and got home to find hair in my food. Whoever is cooking needs to wear a hair net get it together because there's nothing worse than getting home and having to throw your money out. Probably won't eat here for awhile if ever.. read more

Fun place! Waitress was hilarious....but a really bad singer! Fun was good especially the breakfast sausage! Great prices!

Great breakfasts at reasonable prices complemented by the wonderful ambience of owner, Tina, who always has a friendly hello for old and new patrons alike! Love that she has my order committed to memory too! Have been going here for years and highly recommend for a quick, inexpensive, great breakfast!!! read more
