Food experiences are all subjective and personal. We visited L&J's for breakfast while driving thru Virginia. Cute town, old Winchester, and diner is full of characters, and full of local diners. If looking for local homey comfort food experience hanging with locals, this place is for you. We ordered hotcakes with gravy along with eggs and corn beef hash, western omelette. With two coffees, total was 30. Enough food for 3 or 4. For diner coffee, it's pretty decent. I'm a coffee snob, and it was fine. Highly recommended. Support your local businesses. read more

This used to be a great place to eat. I saw they have a NY Strip dinner for 15 bucks. I should have known better, but was in the mood for a steak. I ordered it med/rare. Well, the steak arrived well-done. I asked the server to take it back. Well, the "cook" said to only charge me $7 for mashed potatoes & green beans. That was also unacceptable, because I wanted a properly cooked steak. I just sent it all back for a complete refund and went to Applebees. Our server, Brooke, was great. The place is rather cramped for space and a bit noisy. read more

Exceptional breakfast! Perfectly fried eggs, crispy bacon and delicious home fries. Everything on my plate was piping hot and just as ordered. The food came quickly too. Traditional, small diner atmosphere with booths and counter service. Definitely coming back. The lunch specials looked amazing too, but couldn't fit both. read more

I took my daughter there after a test done early at the hospital. It was around 9am and they were quite busy but the waitress told us to take a seat with a smile on her face as she was waiting on another customer. She was right over with the menus and asked what we wanted to drink. Well let me tell you that everything on that menu sounded delicious and it was very hard to make up our minds and I ordered the western omelet which came with toast and potatoes that were browned just right, plus I ordered a side of their chipped beef gravy. I was not disappointed with that food it was delicious and we didn't sit very long for the meal to be served which was awesome. They continued to have customers come in and people paying to leave and it wasn't confusing everything went smoothly and there was just a happy and relaxing atmosphere that was very nice. I can't wait till I have another appointment cause they are going to be our go to diner. I should mention that we are coming from Martinsburg, WV. read more

We wanted breakfast while visiting the area. The restaurant does not have a large seating area but the staff was pleasant and seated us right away. It had an old fashioned fww to it and I just knew the food was going to be great. I ordered Jerry's Breakfast Special(gravy on the side as I don't want gravy on my hotcakes) and a side of grits with coffee(my favorite). Unfortunately, the coffee did not give me my usual joy and the food did not have much flavor or seasoning to my taste. Everybody can have an off day and this was definitely one of them. read more

This old fashioned diner made you feel like you're walking back into the 50's, minus the racism and affordable prices. Food was okay, and the place is cute but cramped. read more

Every time I go in here I get perfect food just the way I like it. it's also affordable priced and the people are friendly and not loud.

A clean and updated diner that offers outsized portions at undersized prices. I sat at the counter and watched my eggs being scrambled and poured onto the griddle to make up a massive cheese omelet. Hanging over the edge of the plate and then home fries added. Toast came a little bit later. All of it very filling and kept me going until my late lunch. $10 with coffee and including tip. That's a bargain. read more

Waited 45 minutes for two eggs, sausage, and potatoes, which came out lukewarm. The waitress did not check on us once and the bathrooms were less than clean. Cute place though. read more

Delicious diner food. Really friendly service. Great prices. Tasty & filling. Highly recommend.

What an improvement. I went back here because I had no food, but this time I fared a lot better. The eggs and meat are still okay, but I sat at the counter today, and the place looked very clean. No grease or mess on it. Plus, they were giving refrigerator magnets away to promote themselves. The grits I had also were not watery and were not scalding. The home fries were clean and had good zest (let's face it, no home fries will be as good as Waffle House, in my opinion they have the best in the business). The pancakes were still good. I spoke with Lynette and she says business was good her first week, but she's exhausted, and can't wait for thanksgiving. Very friendly staff too. I also ordered the large Apple juice, which I'll get from now on, as the price is better, and the refills are free. Best of luck Lynette and Jerri! read more

Great diner foods. Service was spot on. Our coffee was never empty. A wonderful little find. Definitely where the locals eat. Easy access from the green trail as we were on bikes read more

Again disappointed with dinner meals here. I ordered wing dings and ask for some bleu cheese. Was told the dressing/ dip is a .75 cent charge. Another thing they use hard plastic bowls for the sides and the bowls are stained. They look dirty. I don't want to eat out of those bowls. Yucko. read more

Amazing people. Simple food. Love the meatloaf. All breakfast items. Gores sausage available

Exactly what you would expect I'd a 71 year old diner! Yummy breakfast! The sausage is fantastic!! Grits, eggs, bacon, home fries, pancake, all perfect! I took one star off because seating was challenging. No tables, just booths that do not offer a generous amount of room. If we didn't have our son, we could have sat at the counter. Not car seat/ plus size friendly :( read more

Lynette and Jerri's Diner - Outside - Diners Near Me - Winchester, Virginia

Definition of a greasy spoon diner. Weak coffee. In a town of cute restaurants, this was the opposite.

Having passed the diner many times, I had an occasion to stop for a late morning breakfast. The parking lot was deceptively sparse but upon entry, 3 of 4? Booths were occupied as well as 1 at the counter. Being a small diner, I was greeted immediately and offered a seat at the country. The decor is 1950-1960s kitch that is so often copied but rare authentic as it is in this diner. My drink order, coffee was fulfilled almost immediately as I looked over the menu. I opted for Jerri's Breakfast Special 2 hot cakes/gravy, 2 eggs, meat and coffee. I hadn't heard of gravy on pancakes but was intrigued. It turns out that I had a choice of sausage gravy or creamed chipped beef and a meat choice that included corned beef has - SCORE! The order arrived fairly quick on 2 separate plates. The hot cakes were enormous and were covered with a gigantic serving of SOS that completely covered both hot cakes. The eggs (over hard) were as request, not cooked completely to death with a corned beef portion about the size of a large sausage patty. At least I wouldn't be hungry until the next day! The hot cakes were delicious and a very surprising compliment to the Chipped Beef or perhaps vice versa. The corned beef has was fried crisp but amazingly not greasy. All this for $8.99 is quite a bargain. Just be forewarned to come hungry. Next time, I'll go for the Little Ladies Breakfast Special so I don't just go back home and take a nap! Regardless, I'll be back! read more

Our absolute favorite in Winchester. We always order the same breakfast so I can't really speak to the lunch menu. But, we love the service and the coffee! They also use Gore's sausage which is local and the best. read more

Best diner! The place you become a regular at. This diner opened in 1957 and my mom would go in when she was younger so I was eager to try it when I saw it was still open. Friendly staff, fantastic diner environment and a wonderful home kitchen breakfast smell as you walk in. I had a breakfast sandwich that was delicious with home fries and a pancake and my husband has 4 eggs bacon home fries and toast with coffee and water and it was only $18! read more

Lynette and Jerri's Diner - Diners Near Me - Winchester, Virginia

We loved this diner! The employees were friendly and welcoming. The food was simple but prepared well. The atmosphere was charming. We are definitely planning on returning! read more

This place is delicious!! The beat home fries I have ever eaten! The pancakes with gravy were great. I was Leary or trying it, but it was really good. The only downside is they use Hunts Ketchup which we are not a fan of. We will definitely be back. read more

I went back to the diner from my childhood and it did not disappoint. Nothing has changed-- they even still serve the same milkshakes-- at the SAME PRICE. Exactly what a diner should be. The food and service were also good, though I wished the sausage gravy would have had more sausage in it. read more

Small ma and ma spot. Had the country fried (deep fried) from frozen breakfast off the dinner menu. Eggs and home fries were cold. They re-made them and they were hot. Home fries had no seasoning. Small kitchen grill like waffle house. read more

Service was awful. The cups looked like George Washington took the first sips out of them. I asked if they had sausage patties or links. I was told "patties". So I ordered 2 not knowing they were not patties, they were hockey pucks. The only cool part of the breakfast was Kate from This Is Us was sitting behind me. Now that I think about it, that wasn't even cool because she was so loud. I would rather have Ray Charles drive me cross country than eat here again. read more

The food was fantastic! I had the honey dipped chicken. That is the best fried chicken I have had in long time. The service was great! There was a bit of a wait, but well worth the time. read more

Great place to eat. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. A diner in every sense of the word. Typical menu with lunch and dinner specials. Their vegetable soup is the best. Everything I have eaten there was good. One of if not the only place in Winchester that is the same as it was in the 70's when I was a kid. read more

Maybe the best crab cake I've ever had. And definitely for $10 with two sides! Excellent service and very cool vibe. The haddock wasn't fabulous but seriously- we ordered more crab cakes after we ate the first plate. We're just passing through town, but I'll stop back by anytime I can. Very clean! read more

Lynette and Jerri's Diner - diners in the background - Diners Near Me - Winchester, Virginia

Not a very nice experience. Portions were small, pricey for the quality, service erratic and the atmosphere was not as nice as other diners in Winchester. Example: Ordered a steak and cheese sub with French fries. Came on on a hotdog roll and there were 10 fries on the plate. Not exactly sure what was remodeled as the booth we were in had a spring sticking out under the table and you could still smell cigarette smoke in that old paneling. We won't be back. read more

No good. Went in after being away three years. Did not realize it changed hands. Only a couple of customers where before when I went in when it was Amherst, it was always busy no matter what time of day. Ordered fish and asked server what kind and if it was battered. You know, hot battered fish? She said it was battered and a large piece. When I received it, it was a flat disk, dry and not battered, but bread crumbs. I am pretty sure if I slung it hard enough it would sail across the street with no problem. Will not be returning. Prices too high and bad menu choices. read more

Amazing home cooked meals for an amazing price. The service is also top notch. Be sure to get there early because the tables fill up quickly. read more

I went in with my wife on a Saturday morning. Wife had pancakes and gravy, loved them. I had the western omelette (they actually use eggs and beat them instead of many places using liquid eggs). Man was it stuffed with ingredients. Got the bill and was extremely satisfied with service, portion sizes, and price. Definitely will be back!! read more

If I weren't two hours away from this great little place, I'd be a regular. Three of us had an eclectic brunch: hamburger with fried onion rings, barbeque sandwich with a side of fries, and a bowl of sausage gravy with a side of grits. The hamburger was the biggest surprise - hand-made and cooked just right with freshly made and perfectly fried onion rings. Double yum!! The sausage gravy was fabulous and the grits were quite good. The barbeque was fine - not as amazingly wonderful as the gravy or burger, but quite good. And the staff were so nice!! We were the last customers of the day, but didn't even realize it until we had to be let out. read more

Traveling with my husband... he always wants diner food for breakfast! It's his thing. So anyhow, we found this one and gave it a go this morning and if diners are your thing, this one is perfect. Small, fast paced service, greasy cheap food, (in a good way). David also enjoyed the southern accents and extra "sweethearts" and "honeys" that got sent his way. Very authentic experience! read more

Didn't look like it was busy yesterday so I stopped in for lunch. Sign on the door saying that wearing a mask upon entering and leaving was necessary and not to dawdle over your meal since seating is limited. There is no counter seating and every other booth is not being used. The available booths were all taken and I was asked to wait. That was find, two of the booths looked like they would soon be vacated. One booth with one diner was vacated, wiping his mouth and nose with a napkin he tossed on the table. No mask as he came to pay his bill. Waitress told me to go have a seat and she'd be back to clean off the table. I waited. She came back, got the dishes and again told me to have a seat. I went back there but did not sit down until she was going to clean the area. She came back with a wet towel and wiped down the tabletop. No sprays to clean with, just the damp towel. Nothing else was touched, not the seats, not the napkin dispenser, the salt, pepper, catsup or syrup bottles. I ordered a sandwich to go. The other couple that had been finishing up, did so, not putting masks on while they chatted with the cashier, then they went out to smoke cigarettes. I was pretty disgusted by the hypocrisy of the place. From the signage it seemed the place is being careful. The reality is that they are not. No wonder this virus is back and spreading. read more

The writer of the local paper said everything was homemade. Apparently they haven't been there. In my opinion instant mashed potatoes are not homemade. The gravy was probably from some envelope and the green beans tasted like they came from a microwave with bacon bits thrown in for seasoning. I can't recommend this place and I certainly won't be back. read more

Went for breakfast; went in and stood at the front door for almost 10 minutes without being acknowledged. Made eye contact with 4 different waitresses, who shot back looks of disgust. A "be right with you" or "get out"would have at least given us some idea that we were acknowledged while we were waiting to be seated. This place is small, maybe 900 sq ft. No excuse, went to papermill place, which was 10 times busier, and no issues. Can't comment on the food, but this dump is off the list. read more

Warm cozy quite and Winderfully Winchester Va!!!!!! Great prices from local farm fresh foods. Absolutely delicious. High recommendations!!!

Not bad for portions and taste. For a local diner it is exactly what you would expect. Cozy and quaint. It reminds me of the old TV show, Alice, just not as big aa that place was. Breakfast is pretty good and the daily specials are usually a good bet for dinner. I would not say this was fantastic, but compared to a lot of other spots it is pretty good food at a great price. read more
