Tucked in at the end of the plaza, you cannot go wrong with this local breakfast diner. The service is always friendly and in true diner fashion the service is as though they know you personally on a casual level. The cooks do a fantastic job keeping up orders with great flavors to meet expectations. They offer daily specials, though definitely compare with normal prices as sometimes they may not actually be as good a deal than for $1 or $2 more getting a full serving. The menu is surprisingly varied with breakfast and lunch options. If you have not been, and are looking for a true local experience, you have to stop in. You'll be glad you did! read more

Stopped in with the family around 11- some of us wanted breakfast and some of us wanted lunch so I was happy that we ended up here. We were seated and quickly attended to. They had holiday decor up which was nice. I had a blt sandwich and fries- it was good- could have done with a couple extra pieces of bacon but it was still good. My husband had biscuits with gravy, corn beef hash and a fried egg. My kid had a t-bone with house potatoes and eggs. The steak was a good portion and cooked as requested. They liked the flavor so much that they requested to take home is whatever they couldn't eat which is rare for that kid. The staff were very friendly and made sure we were taken care of. I will be back! read more

We were looking for a "mom and pop" breakfast spot and found Jack & Mary's thanks to Yelp! It was just what we were looking for, homestyle breakfast with friendly and efficient service and great tasting food. While watching the interactions, it was obvious that this spot has a lot of regulars. It was great to see the staff speaking to so many customers by name. We ordered the country fried steak, western omelette and the blueberry biscuits. Everything tasted great and it came out quick considering it was pretty busy! Jack & Mary's hit the spot! read more

This small locally owned diner has been around for as long as I can recall. It wasn't until I went with my cousin one morning that I realized this was as close to an authentic diner as one could get. It is small, chaotic, but you can tell it's run smoothly. They will have all your standards, pancakes, eggs, omelets, along with favorites like country fried steak, steak and eggs. Don't forget to look at the specials board. On my visit they had cabbage with beef soup, and blueberry biscuits. I couldn't pass up the blueberry biscuits and took 2 home. I didn't see waffles on the menu. That would be the only tradition breakfast item I did not see. Shop local. read more

This is a greasy spoon breakfast place. This is not fine dining. It gets 5 stars for being awesome at being exactly what it is. This is not a place you go to for posting pics/vids online about the super unique hip place you found. Do you like breakfast? Come here Do you like paying a very reasonable price for it? Come here Do you like simple food that probably isn't the best for you? Come here Do you want to eat with normal, everyday people eating breakfast? Come here I love eggs, bacon, sausage, french toast, pancakes, hashbrowns, and juice. By default I then like Jack & Mary's. I like to say "Thanks ma'am" and "Have a great day, ma'am" when I go places. That's the kind of place this is. Go for your brunch on Park Ave for fancy. Come here to eat. read more

I absolutely love this place. From the service, price, and food I'm a fan. So first off this would be considered an off the beaten path type of place. They serve breakfast and lunch. I've been here a couple of times and have always been happy. The food is down home comfort food and I loved it. Most recently i got the steak and eggs, the steak was perfectly medium. The only flaw was it wasn't seasoned enough for me, but a bit of salt and pepper solved that. The eggs were over easy as requested and the Louisiana hot sauce added the needed kick. I will definitely come by again. read more

Over the years I have made a point of visiting every diner I had the chance and time to. The diner experience is one of the most important culinary traditions, and Jack and Mary's Restraunt stands out as an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm, friendly atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The menu is a delightful mix of classic diner fare and unique specialties that cater to every palate. The food is always fresh, delicious, and served in generous portions. Whether you're there for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, you can't go wrong with any choice. The staff at Jack and Mary's are exceptional. They are attentive, personable, and genuinely care about their customers' dining experience. This level of service, combined with the consistently outstanding food, makes every visit a pleasure. The ambiance is perfect for a diner--cozy booths, vintage decor, and a sense of nostalgia that adds to the overall charm. It's clear that Jack and Mary's Diner is not just a place to eat, but a place to create memories. On one of my visits I had the chance to talk with some of the regulars at the bar and they were full of passion for the place. I will be back. Jack and Mary's restaurant is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates great food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Five stars, hands down! read more

The thing that makes this a place to go is the local feel and excellent, friendly service. Stopped in for breakfast before going to the airport. Just nine minutes from MCO. Service was fast and efficient. May be a little bit too fast since I was killing time before my flight. But you will not be left with wanting your coffee, warmed up or needing anything. The breakfast is like you would cook at home. Fresh ingredients and nothing fancy. Just a good all around homestyle breakfast. The hashbrowns were really good and perfectly crispy. I appreciated the waitresses recommendation for onions. Both the waitress and the cook thanked me for coming in as I left. You really got the feeling that they appreciated your business. read more

Just discovered this little cafe a few weeks back & it is literally 10 minutes from our house. It's very very small inside and there is almost always a line out the door when we have been. The few things I've tried is the chicken fried steak with potatoes & gravy. Really good but it is frozen & cooked to order so expect a wait time for that. Today I had the French toast with eggs, bacon & sausage. I wasn't a fan of the sausage at all but the bacon was on point. The French toast was cooked perfectly as well as the eggs. I did order a side of hash browns & they were perfect. Our waitress ( Beca ) was a sweetheart and literally works her rear off. She never once stopped filling coffee and running orders the entire time we were there. We will be regulars here for sure read more

Has a local diner atmosphere in plaza next to Goodwill. I didn't know what to expect as it was my first visit and to my surprise it was busy, so that gave me hope for the taste of a home style cooked breakfast with bacon. Seated almost right away at one of the last two available tables in the back. Diligent service and inexpensive prices!! Had country fried steak w/gravy, hash brown and eggs. It was good, I'd visit again for sure and recommend the same. Earlier the better, as getting there late morning could be a full house. I give this a 4-star, as I think the food could have used a bit more salt but that could also be a personal preference. read more

A good hearty breakfast and it was very tasty! The gravy had large pepper in it and it added a really nice flavor. French toast was lovely and the eggs cooked perfectly. The country fried steak was crispy on the outside and tender inside. Definitely will come back to try their lunch menu read more

Great omelet with onions, sausage, bacon, and ham, American cheese on top. A side of crunchy home fries with onions. Nothing more needs said, it was a great breakfast.

So my daughter needed a rise to the airport. Her flight was at 630am so I was not happy and I knew I would be hungry. Luckily we found this place for a very early breakfast and they were open. We were warmly greeted and told to sit where we liked. After scanning the menun and getting our coffee cups filled I ordered 3 pancakes and sausage links and fresh squeezed OJ. The coffee here is good, in the medium roast side. My OJ came pretty quickly and it tasted oh so good. My pancakes arrived and they were huge, flavorful, and expertly cooked. The sausage too was expertly cooked and tasty with just an edge of crispness. Niki was happy to add that her eggs were cooked perfectly and her bacon and hashbrowns too were very tasty. Give this place a try. It's a no nonsense diner and you will leave full and happy. read more

Taste: (6/10) It was a simple meal. Not too salty. Bacon was decent. It doesn't taste bad! Nothing over the top though. Appearance: (7/10) Nothing exquisite in the presentation. Had to move a few pieces just to make it look photo ready. Value: (9/10) it wasn't expensive. This dish cost me around $13. Very affordable. General Comment: I didn't leave, full, but it was a decent breakfast. Their sweet tea is pretty good too. If you want a simple breakfast with fast service, you should come here.

Served pretty fast, helped right away and it was good! I got the meat lovers which tasted delicious. The ham was cut in short cubes along with small pieces of sausage and bacon. It was well cooked even though those small pieces of meat could have been larger! Or maybe my appetite should be smaller??!! Hmmm The staff was helpful, the ambiance needed some Tlc for the bathroom.

History

Established in 1984.

Jack and Mary, the original owners, started this restaurant in East Orlando with the hope of attracting local patrons who enjoy a homemade breakfast and lunch. It wasn't long before the word got out and the restaurant was often very busy. They were one of the first business started in the East Orlando area. The tradition of serving great breakfasts and lunches, prompt friendly service, at reasonable prices, continues to this day.

Meet the Business Owner: Fang D.

Before operating Jack and Mary's Restaurant, Fang owned and operated a large restaurant in China for 4 years. While the offerings and cooking style is different, the need to provide quality food with good service remains the same. This will be the continuing goal at Jack and Mary's.

The portions and overall quality felt underwhelming for what we paid, especially considering how highly recommended this spot tends to be. The baked goods were also on the expensive side. Some of them were enjoyable, but the quality seemed inconsistent, and not everything felt worth the premium price.

I do not mind paying more for high-quality food, especially from a local business, but the experience needs to justify the cost. There were a few good items, so I would not completely rule out trying Se7enBites again. However, based on this visit, I would be more selective about what I ordered and would probably stick to one baked item rather than committing to a full meal. The service was average.

I had come from another restaurant after waiting for some time without being assisted, and was fearing being in the same situation but thankfully I was wrong! The hostess greeted me as soon as I was at the door, promptly sat me at my table and even though the restaurant was almost full, a waiter came to take my order within 5 minutes of sitting. I ordered The Works omelette with a biscuit instead of the toast and the Pineapple Express drink I had ordered previously. Everything came out fresh and delicious and I finished my entire plate. The portions of ham and sausage as well as the mushrooms in they omelette were generous, and the drink was refreshing and not too sweet.

It tasted more like regular French toast with strawberries on top. However, the chicken sausage was really good and a nice alternative to the Million Dollar Bacon. Overall, it was a good breakfast experience. If you're looking for solid food and a nice atmosphere, it's definitely a place worth checking out.

Definitely some tasty chicken. I really liked the slaw that had garlic onions celery and some other items but it cut through the savoriness of the chicken. Yes, i ate all of it to the bone. Wife also got chicken and waffles which she thoroughly enjoyed. Also had fried banana peppers with a pimento spread. Pretty nice combination. Staff was super helpful.

Disclaimer: this review is for the lunch buffet only…read more I went with my family to try the $18.49 all you can eat lunch buffet. This was my first time experiencing a buffet for hispanic food and for this price point in Orlando, this is an amazing value deal. The server regularly brought us out silverware, napkins, and refilled our water. The place is decorated very fun and plays latin music which was lovely Not only was there an unlimited assortment of lunch foods, but an entire bar of fresh toppings for tacos (or rice bowls) and made to order desserts which were included for free! Not everything on the buffet line was the best but given the amount of options, price, and how good the great items are this is still worth a five star rating. I unfortunately did not take pictures of the food before I began devouring everything in sight to the point of near-collapse, but I will do a quick rundown of the buffet highlights: The best meats were the fajita steak, chicken, and shrimp made fresh in cast iron skillets, as well as the chicken lengua which was super flavorful and tender. The mexican rice, beans, fajitas, plantains, and street corn were also excellent. Fresh quesadillas, chips, and corn tortillas on standby with homemade queso and salsas. The flan and mini churros were the best I've ever had. Super rich, decadent Carmel flan. Mini churros hot and crisp on the outside, filled with a gooey soft milk chocolate center. They were delicious. Items that were disappointing: the tamales, mini chicken flautas, and beef chimichangas were just okay, lacking the seasoning and flavor that other dishes had. The beef barbacoa was not as tender or flavorful as the shredded chicken surprisingly. The mixed seafood was itself a mixed bag with some shrimps / scallops overcooked to much while others were perfectly cooked. The chicken mole and beef tri tip were room temperature despite sitting on hot plates. The tri tip also varied widely in doneness throughout the slices and not super tender. The rice pudding was pretty standard, and the tres leches cake was weird as they crumbled the cake into pieces before soaking it.

The place is elegantly decorated with an Asian theme. However, some of the benches attached to the booths had worn out upholstery. Our server, Yumi (spelling?) was polite and efficient. We had the salt and pepper squid appetizer. It was plentiful and great with the accompanying sauce. However, we didn't like the breading. And I dared to bite into one of the peppers that accompanied it and it set my mouth on fire. For dinner we had the Szechuan scallops and the XO fish. The scallops were tasty and the dish had lots of broccoli, peppers, and mushrooms. The sauce was a bit sweeter than we expected. The XO fish sauce was very similar to the Szechuan sauce and though the fish was a tad salty, it was still savory. The asparagus that accompanied that dish was chopped (easier to eat) and there were plenty of sweet snap peas and bell peppers. We adore snow pea tips and were in the mood for lots of veggies. So, we got an order to accompany our meals. We did take home most of it, along with lots of broccoli (for me) from the Szechuan scallops. We were treated to a complimentary Chinese-style dessert made with peeled split mung beans and thickened with tapioca starch into a gooey, translucent pudding that was served warm. Our meal of 1 appetizer, 2 entrees, 1 order of veggies, a pot of tea, tax, and tip was $138.
