Jack's N Joe is definitely a spot worth checking out. Parking is a little tight, so plan ahead--but once you're in, the vibe makes up for it. It's relaxed, welcoming, and perfect for a chill breakfast or brunch. The iced coffee is strong (in the best way), and the pancakes were honestly delicious...crispy in all the right places, flavorful, and worth coming back for. Overall, a really solid experience. I'd definitely return. read more

Came here on my way to a couple of museums. You can tell that is a local favorite, and I can see why. The food was delicious. I ordered blueberry pancakes and it came with a lemon butter then when melted, the pancakes soaked it up and it was the perfect counter flavor. The service was great, everyone was attentive and we got sat down pretty quick. The restaurant ran cold so I'm glad I had a thicker sweater on. read more

First-time visitors, and we LOVED it!! The entire restaurant offers guests a fun, positive vibe, with very upbeat music playing overhead, great murals throughout, and a clean, inviting atmosphere. The employees were all very friendly and welcoming. Our waiter, Kevin, was AWESOME!! He was very attentive, super friendly, and hardworking. Thank you for the great service! The real winner was the food. We placed our food order, and within 4 minutes and 7 seconds, our entire order was delivered to our table. Thank you to the chefs who were very efficient and cooked our food to PERFECTION! We ordered: My Big Fat Greek omelette Pudgie Elvis (combo #1) Cup of Joe Every food item was delicious and fresh, and though we were full at the end of our meals, it was so good it left us wanting more. It was scary good. We will DEFINITELY return to this location, as we had a positive, fun dining experience. read more

I decided to bring my husband here for breakfast after my Doctors appointment, and this place NEVER fails. I ordered a combo #1 with scrambled eggs, turkey bacon, hash browns, and a side of Pudgy Elvis Pancakes. Let me start off by saying that it is a lot of food. I ended up sharing with my husband. The eggs were light, fluffy, and moist. They were definitely not dry. The turkey bacon was savory with a smokey flavor, and the hash browns were golden brown, and crispy on the outside with a softer center. The Pudgy Elvis pancakes are to die for. They are fluffy, and savory with drizzled peanut butter, powdered sugar, and bananas. These are my absolute favorite. Lastly, our server Kevin was awesome! His service was impeccable, and he took such good care of us. I am definitely a BIG fan of this place. read more

Jack and Joe where have you been hiding all these years? They had me hooked for breakfast this morning when I saw that they had Portuguese sausage on the menu, but I'll be a returning customer because of their crepes with whipped lemon butter. Truly the best crepes I've had in Los Angeles, reminded me of how grandma makes them in the old country. Soft, delicate, and delicious. These though were topped with a luxurious whipped lemon butter that was creamy and surprisingly citrusy. The whipped vanilla butter on my husband's French toast was just as good. Jack and Joe are churning out butter for the gods right under all of our noses. I write about this often but Portuguese food is hard to come by in LA and any representation a restaurant might have is always a pleasant surprise for me. The Portuguese sausage here is like a mild linguiça, slightly sweet and charred perfectly. The French toast is made with a "Hawaiian" sweet bread which is also identical to Portuguese masa - real ones know about the significant Portuguese influence throughout Hawaii so this tracks. I don't give 5 stars very lightly but this place has earned them even though the eggs and potatoes were truthfully a little bland. Some spice in the potatoes would certainly go a long way. Next time I'm here, which will be very soon, I'll try the regular pancakes and some hashbrowns perhaps. Will have to get the Portuguese sausage again though of course. Jacks N Joe feels like a small town diner but is surprisingly modern. The counter of police badges from all over the country seems a bit out of place in this south LA breakfast nook, but luckily I was face to face with a lovely picture of a dog (and my husband ig) instead. read more

I can't believe I've never tried this place before! Came on a Sunday morning with a party of 3. We were told it was going to be a 35-45 min wait. It ended up being close to an hour, which was not a problem. It was also parents weekend at USC that day so we were expecting a wait. As soon as we sat down, staff was very fast and attentive. We ordered right away and got food right away! The pancakes came out super hot and fresh! I ordered the Brooks Blues, and my friends had the Aloha Boy and WTF. We all really enjoyed our pancakes! Super unique flavors and overall just an awesome experience. Also just extremely affordable! Can't wait to come back! read more

Service was good and the vibe is like a small diner. We were sat immediately as it wasn't too busy on a Monday afternoon. Loaded hash was great, big portion. Wife had the simple breakfast plate and was satisfied. Terrible parking options and their coffee options are limited/not great. I'd recommend it if you're in the area but no need to go out of your way! read more

Jacks N Joe have a great breakfast spot, and ode to classic diner breakfasts with a mild culture twist. It's worth an experience there. The vibe was very simple , open space, with a cornerstone of your favorite fur babies. You can tell this place has connections to dogs and I'm all for it as my dog Bucky is my rock and I love places like this. Service was great, and everyone was very amazing, we had MJ and she made sure we were always tended to. The food came out in good timing and it was all foood. The food was pretty good, but the big stand out for me was the pancakes lol... they were complete perfection. My eggs and hash browns were pretty good though my eggs were not cooked all the way through when I mixed them in everything it all worked out. I did enjoy their potatoes more than the hash browns though. In a nutshell jacks and Joe is a great traditional breakfast diner and we would definitely go back for more. read more

Great food! Friendly staff. Unique menu. Pancakes were really good. Will be stopping by the next time we are at campus.

I don't know who Jack n Joe are, but they make excellent flap Jacks with a cup of Joe lol jk. With a name like Jack n Joe, those two items have to be hitters and they did not disappoint. Came here with family for the first time and everything was delicious. I got to try the dakine French toast, roo chocolate chip pancakes, and the loaded potatoes (secret menu item) which were all so good. What I ordered was the combo 1 which included 2 eggs, 2 pancakes (upgraded to ruby belle), 2 bacon (or you can choose sausages), and hash browns (also able to choose jnj potatoes). The place was packed but the service was on point. The server was really nice and the food came out in no time. read more

I knew that Jacks N Joe was a popular spot as the wait can become long, especially over the weekend, but thankfully, when I went (on a weekday) it was pretty empty and I was able to find parking despite the very limited parking around. I thought the customer service was decent, the prices were reasonable, and the food came out pretty fast. I know these pancakes are often talked about as being some of the best, and I thought they weren't bad, and I was glad to try them. read more

I was there few months ago, on one of the weekends. The restaurant seemed busy, and lots of good reviews., so I was excited to try their brunch. However, I was very disappointed with the food, it tasted bland, and soggy potatoes, salty egg etc.. The pancake was just okay, nothing tasty. Wouldn't recommend this place. read more

We came here on a weekend just before 9 am but there was already a line. The parking lot was also full so we had to park a few blocks nearby and it was sort of a trek to walk there. There was a 15-minute wait for a 2-person table but we opted for seats at the bar counter where there was no wait. Our waiter was kind and helpful. But the food was just okay. My partner got the French toast with the Portuguese sausage but the sausage was overcooked and on the tougher side. The avocado toast was very surprising because it was simply avocado on toast with no seasoning or shreddings on top. It was not what I expected and neither did it taste good. The side of mixed fruit was nice though. Overall, it was $40 for our food plus tip, so it's more on the pricey side and for what we got, I'm not sure we would come back and if we did, we would definitely try something else. read more

When my son has swimming on Sundays at USC, this is a spot that we like to stop for breakfast. The service is quick, the food is good, and the prices are reasonable enough in todays expensive restaurant scene. The pancakes are my favorite, so I would definitely recommend those. The potatoes sound great, but they seem to not be executed to perfection. I think that they may need more seasoning or something. Sausages are also quite good. Overall a nice quick breakfast, but parking is a bit tough. There are only a few spots in the complex, but there is also a tire center next store that is closed on Sundays. If they are closed, I was told that it is OK to park there, so that is what we did. It was not a problem. Very casual atmosphere, open kitchen, good food, and quick service. What else could you want for a fast Sunday breakfast! read more

Neighborhood spot for breakfast located near the West Adams area. Serving up all of the traditional favorites such as pancakes, omelets and breakfast sandwiches, some with a new twist like Hawaiian Bread French Toast, Oreo Stuffed Pancakes and crazy combos. This place gets crowded often, and quick, especially on Saturdays. The parking lot is small but the food is great. There are high and low tables with booths along the walls. There is also a counter. I like making my own omelette, the red velvet pancakes and the Jack and Joe potatoes but everything is good here. . read more

I had the buckwheat pancakes and now I crave them all the time. They topped it with their house made granola and an orange butter! Sooo yummy! We came with a group and on a Sunday so granted, it's was very crowded but our food came out at a good time. I will say they did accidentally ring us up for an extra plate when we reviewed our bill so always double check especially when they're busy read more

Surprised to find a brunch restaurant that's so crowded just near USC! Right across my apartment!!! Why didn't I find it sooner? TAT I will come back again! We had the WTF pancakes-- really good! Ordered an omelette-- also good! The smoothie tastes also great!! And they're not that expensive. The place was so crowded on Saturday morning, but the line was not too bad -- we waited for 15-20 minutes to get seated. read more

Convenient location, good food! A friend had stopped in Los Angeles, and I wanted to grab brunch before they left! This was the closest spot I could find to the Expo store on Apple Maps! It's conveniently located next to a plaza with many food shops. There's parking in the front, but not much. When you arrive, there may be a wait. We had to be added to a list, and only waited about 15 minutes! The ambiance is very lively and social, so don't expect to have a serious 1-on-1 here! Our server was extremely attentive (and patient), as I could not decide what I wanted. To drink, I got the assorted tea. I do wish they had more options, but my tea was good. As for my main dish, the "Avocado Toast," I was left a bit befuddled. I am used to a different kind of avocado toast in California. There's always something fancy or unique. But this was TEXTBOOK avocado toast. Like... avocado slices on top of a slice of toast. Nothing more, nothing less. I'm fact, the eggs and potatoes took up so much of the plate, it actually looks like a regular breakfast plate plus avocado. Please see the photos to understand. I don't think they understand the concept of avocado toast here. Lol. Nonetheless, my food was still good, enjoyed the seating, and had a lovely morning! read more

This place has been my fave for a few years now. This past Friday, I'm saddened to say Jack n Joe was not at its best. To begin, my scrambled eggs were overcooked and brown. The service felt inconsistent. Tables were available, but we still waited. Then we were seated for a while before server came to our table. read more

I came for Sunday brunch with a couple friends around 11:30, and the wait was about 30 minutes. They have benches outside around the front door, so you at least have somewhere to sit while you wait. I ordered the 7 minutes in heaven French toast dish, and it was pretty good! I don't think you can go wrong with Nutella, so I'm glad I ordered this over their regular French toast. For a hint of something savory, I ordered turkey sausage on the side, and that wasn't bad either. I tried a little bit of my friends' sides of potatoes that came with their omelettes, and they weren't all that, so I think sweet over savory is the way to go here. read more

The restaurant was okay overall, but the service was pretty average. Ironically, the people who treated us the best were the cooks, who looked like they were probably the busiest and most stressed ones there. Unfortunately, the hostess had a very poor attitude and gave disappointing service. I mentioned twice that I wanted a table, but we still ended up being seated at the bar. The servers were also not very attentive when it came to helping guests get started. No one offered us a menu or even mentioned that the menu was available through the QR code on the table, which honestly nobody in my party noticed. As for the food, it was just okay, nothing particularly memorable. If I could make one suggestion, it would be to add some type of sauce on top of the omelets, as they felt a little plain and could use more flavor. read more

I have to say I am really surprised and kind of disappointed with this place. I've been wanting to try it for awhile now considering that it's always packed and the 4 star yelp reviews. Parking was very limited, luckily we were able to get a parking in the center. When first coming in, every one seemed very busy and we were not greeted right away. After getting our name on the list wer e sat fairly quickly, within a 10 minute time frame, mind you this is a Tuesday morning. If I had to wait longer than that, I'd be even more disappointed. After being sat we went over the menu which was your very basic brunch food items with a few specialty pancake options. We ordered a pancake combo, French toast combo and an avocado toast. The avocado toast was just a toasted piece of sourdough and a half of avocado sliced thrown on top of the bread. Looks like you went home and put a piece of avocado on a bread. No toppings, no seasoning, nothing. I had to flavor it up myself. Squeezed some lemon from my water, and added salt and pepper. The french toast was really sweet and the pancakes were okay, very basic. The vibe and energy of that place felt weird. The server was nice but definitely wouldn't go back there. read more

Really nice place for breakfast! I highly recommend their French toast. It's fluffy and savory. The omelette I ordered had sausage and spam which were pan fried nicely.

Other than that, it's a nice spot to grab some breakfast. read more
