We visited Jamestown over the Fourth of July holiday, and each time we inquired about restaurant recommendations or when someone learned we were visiting, they recommended The Smoke--it did not disappoint! The Volcano Scramble was both mammoth and delicious. This entrée is a shareable size, and while my wife and I did share it, we were not able to finish it. My daughters also enjoyed a kid's pancake and chicken fried chicken. How was that for two different breakfast orders? The service was kind and swift, and when there was an error with our bill, they were quick to resolve it. We are now part of the many who will recommend you try The Smoke Cafe. Their patio is dog-friendly, and they also have some of the best iced tea I have ever enjoyed. read more

This is my favorite breakfast place in Tuolumne County. The staff is so friendly. The food is delicious and very reasonably priced. The portions are generous (if you are a senior with a smaller appetite they have a senior portion on some menu items at a reduced price). They offer indoor & covered outdoor dining. There is also a daily specials board with dishes not on their regular menu. Today I had their cranberry coconut banana bread pudding breakfast (from the specials menu). It came with choice of breakfast meat & 2 eggs. Loved it! I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a solid breakfast at a good price. They offer a lunch menu too, but I am all about breakfast. Yum! read more

I usually get a little concerned when I see a very large menu. When there are that many options, it can sometimes mean nothing really stands out and how can a chef/cook get so many things right? In this case, I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the chile verde omelet, and it was very good. It was flavorful and clearly something they do well. My server was very sweet and welcoming, which always matters to me. After I was seated, I was left alone for some time. It wasn't a big deal as I wasn't in a rush. As I mentioned, everyone was very friendly. If you are traveling through Jamestown, this place is worth a stop. It has a genuine local vibe and it feels like a spot the community truly supports. read more

Cute diner like cafe with breakfast. Kids meals were a great value. All the food was good. Service was very friendly. It was a little slow, but we were at the end of Sunday lunch rush, so not surprising. Overall great stop in a cute downtown. read more

Wow Best burger and fries I've had in a long time. Hand made burger cooked to perfection. Fries were crispy just the way I like em. read more

3 1/2 stars. Group of us stopped here on way home from a weekend trip. They have an awesome menu with a great variety of breakfast/lunch offerings (see my menu photos). You'll definitely find something to satisfy your hunger here! The four of us all had breakfast plates and they were all solid, but nothing spectacular to warrant a higher rating. Portion sizes were average. An interesting option on many plates is the "senior size" that is smaller (and costs less) compared to the standard offering. The service was great. There was lots of patrons on a Sunday morning, so that is a good indication that this is probably one of the better places in the small town to grab a bite to eat. read more

While walking in it looked decent from the outside but once I observed further it came off more like a diner vibe, not a restaurant. Also I was disappointed when I tried to go to the bathroom and there was only one with 4 people not including the flies down the hallway. I decided to sit back down and use my hand sanitizer. The food was sub par I will say my garlic fries were a 10/10 I got the pesto chicken sandwich I thought they sort of skimmed me on the chicken. The chili did not say there would be huge chunks of onion with little to no meat and it being more of a soup. Also my mom said her sandwich was way too salty along with her potatoes so that was disappointing. All and all the service was marginal although our server was very sweet, we were not greeted for quite sometime when there were no more than two other tables seated inside when we were already ready to order and everything. I don't usually go out and dine in Jamestown but I did hear they had some other cool spots. I recommend checking those ones out vs this one unfortunately because it does have potential so hopefully the staff can work on that. read more

Great food, friendly and fast customer service. Love that Jamestown has this gem of a diner.

Nice cafe. Serves breakfast all day. Good cheeseburger with garlic fries and a side salad. Fresh produce.

Stayed in Jamestown to be close to Sonora. Walked down Main St on Sunday morning around 8 and it was the only thing open... but that's ok, it's everything you need for a breakfast spot! They have plenty of breakfast options as well as sandwiches, salads, soups, burgers. I ordered the Veggie Benedict and hash browns and husband got the chicken fried steak with hash browns and eggs. I ate every bite of my meal which I rarely do, portions were just right. Service was prompt and friendly, perfect small town vibe. This place has outdoor seating so we were able to dine with our dog. Fantastic spot for a meal! read more

The Smoke is my go to Breakfast spot. Their pancakes and waffles are the best. Omelettes are fluffy and available with two or three eggs. I enjoy their burgers and BLTs as well. read more

First let me start off and say that the folks working here are lovely. The food was not good. We started off with mozzarella sticks. They were terrible. The cheese was not even melted. How do you screw up mozzarella sticks? I had the French Dip. It was disgusting. The meat was so over cooked and it tasted like it was cooked a week ago. I hate to leave bad reviews, I really do. My husband's pesto sandwich was fair. Maybe it's awesome for breakfast. Lunch, however, was a miss. read more

Hands down, the BEST veggie omelet to be had in town. only wish they used a bit more salt. Or, if you carry your own sea salt, this is not a problem! read more

A nice old fashioned place, good food, nice friendly waitress , never knew it was open for 4 years, glad that we did, will go back again !!!! read more

Great food and service by family owned and run business. Sitting in front patio a bonus. Great place!!

Spilt a chili verde omelette, it was delicious and enough for 2 people. Also came with pancakes which were great

Outstanding service. The food was delicious. I had the taco omelet with house potatoes and homemade biscuit. Highly recommend

Great breakfast. Dog friendly with the best service. I had the homemade hash and it was wonderful. This place is a must stop for breakfast if you are anywhere near Jamestown read more

The food is good. The service can be iffy, depending on how busy it is. They have great mexican breakfasts!!

Not only is the food delicious, but the staff is fantastic! I'm currently pregnant so I get a twist on the chilaquiles. I sub the chorizo for linguica and eggs for avocado. I choose beans as the side, but they also offer home fries, hash browns etc. read more

Walked in and right away, there's a dog laying in the walkway. As we ate, it barked loudly at one of the employees. Annoying and gross. Dogs belong outside and now that other people read this and know they let a mutt into the resteraunt, others will likely bring theirs too. Just know that some of us are severely allergic and we already have to see your dogs literally everywhere else we go. Can't people just take a break from taking their dogs everywhere?! Stop humanizing them! read more

Nothing could be better! Fabulous food! Great selections! Superb service with cheerful competent caring people devoid of piercings! A+ in every way. Better by far than Wood Creek, Willow Whisp and Mandy's. Ambiance is typical gold country. In other words, wonderful. read more

A truly outstanding breakfast. This little stop is a Jamestown gem. Service was fantastic and the decor was very cute.

We heard a lot of good things about this place so we figured we should try it out. This little town is cute and lots of little shops and places to eat. The parking is on the street for most these places. When we arrived we were greeted right away and sat. The waitress was very nice and helpful. She brought the menus over and they served breakfast, lunch and dinner plates. Of course I had to go on Yelp and check the photos and receiws of what the most talked about meal was. Well the Santa fe French dip had a lot of good reviews. I even asked our waitress and she suggested that especially if I like mushrooms I also got the homemade potato salad. I was obviously hungry. Lol. Well the food came out quick and was hot. I must say the Sante Fe French dip is all it's set out to be. So much flavor and the bread was so soft. Fries were good too. The potato salad was good as well but I wanted more thick potatoes in it. I hope to try out their desserts next time. So glad I got to try this place out. read more

A great addition to the Jamestown dining options, the Smoke Café is up and running! Located just a few feet down from our favorite Jamestown hotel, the National, it is a great place for breakfast. The menu choices are very broad and cover most tastes. The egg plate I chose came with a lot of options. I went with the hash browns, sausage patties and pancakes- a big meal for only $12! Because of a mix up, I was also able to sample their biscuits and gravy- they were delicious. Our server, Bev, was quick and attentive. The café itself is roomy and looks brand new. Lots of booths inside. We decided to have our breakfast on the front patio. Very nice. We'll be bacon our next visit. read more

Great to see this breakfast place back open, with indoor and outdoor seating. After a night at our favorite National Hotel, we saw the new sign proclaiming 'open 7 days a week at 7 am' two businesses away along the historical main street. The server hustled and managed the busy Sunday morning crowd with aplomb. Our food arrived hot and tasty. Hashbrowns were perfect and portion sizes were ample. With so many choices on the menu for breakfast and lunch, we will definitely be back on our next visit. read more

Always fun to stop and try new places. The Smoke Cafe did not disappoint. My bf had the chicken fried steak. Eggs cooked perfect and the chicken fried steak was tender inside and crunchy outside. I decided on the loaded has browns. Layed of hash browns, cheese, biscuit, scrambled egg with bacon, topped with a sausage patty and covered in gravy. Service was welcoming and friendly. Cute restaurant, plenty of seating booths and tables, small outdoor area and dog friendly read more

What a clean, friendly, cute place in downtown Jamestown! My eggplant sandwich with grilled red peppers, yellow squash, grilled eggplant, pesto, mozzarella & tomato on grilled sourdough was so delicious & packed with veggies & gooey cheese. The French fries were really good, piping hot & super crispy. My hubby had the Divorced Huevos Rancheros whic we're covered in two different sauces, red & white and he cleaned his plate. Our server was attentive, friendly & right on with her recommendations and we will definitely return if we're in the area again. read more

Excellent place for lunch! Our group of 8 ordered a variety of food & everyone enjoyed their meal. All the food came out hot (when appropriate) & fresh. Staff was friendly & helpful. We would all come back again! read more

The Smoke House seems to be the gathering place in Jamestown. The restaurant was busy midday on a warm Saturday. I am pretty sure most of the people were local; everyone was talking to each other as they came through the door. We ate outside and it was very pleasant. We came here for an International Photo Day Walk. It was about a two-hour drive. To me that can only mean one thing--it was a road trip. I ordered my favorite road trip meal, a chicken-fried steak without eggs. The meal came with a choice of potatoes and bread or a biscuit with gravy. I expected a small biscuit, but it filled a saucer and was covered with the same delicious gravy that covered the chicken-fried steak. I really enjoyed my meal. The steak was tender and it had the right amount of breading, I chose hashbrowns and they were good too. I ate everything on my plate and a portion of the biscuits. I did have the senior special; the waitress was concerned that it was only a half order, which was fine with me. I did not want to carry leftovers when I was walking around town and home. I did have a bit of food envy K had an omelet I don't remember what he said it was but it looked wonderful and I am not a fan of omelets. I suspect I will be in Jamestown again and I would stop here for a good meal. If I decided I was not on a road trip I would try some of the other menu selections. read more
