And I have to say, my review remains the same at 5 stars...JJ's Diner does not disappoint! Our awesome server was Mary Ann with an M ....she gave us friendly and warm service and she was very attentive. Our food came out hot and was delicious - - i had another waffle, but this time with just bananas - -and hubby had scrambled eggs and hash browns covered in cheese - - and he LOVED every bite as did I. And the coffee is just perfect! JJ's is a bright light and such a heavenly oasis. Everyone should be as happy and positive as the people that work at JJ's. They have worked hard to provide this consistently good food and service over the years. We will make it a point to be back again next time we are in town.

It isn't always available so when you see it you ask for it. It's creamy, light, and just perfect. My husband had the Manhattan clam soup which is always a great starter. You can't go wrong with it and it's one of his favorites. The atmosphere is warm and the staff makes it even better. All the waitresses are personable, they greet us by name and they seem to know so many of the repeat guests. It feels like a true neighborhood spot where everyone is welcome. Just wanted to share two of our favorites from a place we always enjoy. JJ's never disappoints.

Not sure who trained this staff but they need to create their own course in customer service. Every single person who worked there, regardless of their actual position was helping all customers. Seriously... never waited for anything and constantly asked if we needed anything. Such a treat! You can tell that they pour their hearts into this! Just a lovely experience. Now, the food! Welp, this is it. The pancakes are wonderful and thin. You can get them stuffed with various things. Just the perfect crunch and taste. No battery thick middle! Get these! Also got eggs, fried bologna (highly recommend), scrapple, and delicious Turkey sausage. There wasn't one thing that wasn't good. No notes. The coffee is superior as well. Even asked for a cup to go. Just delicious. This place is a whole package. Go out of your way to get here!! You will NOT be disappointed!!! The prices are absolutely reasonable for the quality and quantity. Would go again and again and again!!!
