Jacobos is one of the best places my husband and I have ate at. We literally drove around for 30 minutes trying to find it again. The food is delicious, nice big portion sizes. Extremely nice staff that check on you periodically without being intrusion. Really good food and really people. Can't wait to have it again as I am not from the area. read more

We found this restaurant since the other place we wanted to go to was closed. I have never heard of them, but they have really good reviews so we checked them out. After parking, there were two doors/exits. We came in from the side and had to walk around to the front. There were a lot of people so we got on the waitlist. There is plenty of space inside to sit and wait. It's a lot larger on the inside than I expected with many tables so the wait was not too long. Once we were seated, we got our drink orders in and the server came to greet us. They had a lot on the menu so it took a bit to look through everything. I got the pancake combo and it was good. They gave me scrambled eggs instead of over medium eggs, and the server was quick to get the kitchen to make the correct eggs. I would love to try other items on the menu because it all looks really good. The atmosphere was decorated for Christmas, and there was a mural on the wall. It felt very cozy like you're being welcomed into someone's home for a meal. It does get very loud since they have so many tables and it is all one large open space. To pay, we go up to the counter. Overall, I am glad we found this place! The service and food were good. Definitely will come back and try other items on the menu. read more

Tried the Crab Cake Benedict, French Toast, and Joe's Scrambles. Generous portions which make the prices reasonable. Crab Cake Benedict has the traditional hollandaise sauce. Sauce had slight lemony flavor. Crab cake was pretty thick. Giving it 3 of 5 stars. Joe's Scrambles did not skimp on ingredients. Scrambled eggs with ground beef, mushroom, bell peppers, onions and cheese. 4/5 stars. Came with your choice of potatoes, choice of toast and a wedge of cantaloupe. The French Toast came with eggs, bacon, and country sausage for additional $3. French Toast was standard but the country sausage was special. Two sausage patties that look like small hamburger patties; soo good. Best sausage I've had; combo of slight sweetness, saltiness and peppery. French toast was 3/5 but the Sausage patties were great; 5/5. Looked like they made them in house. Country potatoes side was good too. Good portion and we'll seasoned. We showed up around 10:00am and got a table right away. By the time it's 11:00am, there's a line. Staff were very nice and quick. read more

I met a friend for breakfast this morning. Had a wonderful meal he got the Joe's special, and I selected the Cajun Benedict! WOW. The Cajun sausage made the dish. If you like really flavorful with a light spice kick, you should try this dish. I love the size of the coffee mugs...makes you feel like you are at home. The ambience is open and inviting with booths and adequate tables without feeling jam-packed or over crowded. Really a relaxing good meal. Go give it a try.. read more

Fresh squeezed OJ was a +. Service was fast, good recommendations and honest answers about selections. You want breakfast or lunch, probably a great place to visit. Inside is clean, plenty of tables and places to sit. I was there for a quick meeting and it wasn't too loud. Fair prices. read more

I've been here a few times when it was Jack's. Always decent food however I would always order the same thing. Today I ordered a lunch special named California chicken. Came with soup, mashed potatoes and two pieces of chicken. The chicken was seasoned well and tasted great however the cheese on top was a slice of Kraft singles. Food came and 5 minutes later I got my soup. Very disappointing. Asked for a to-go cup for my soup then went to pay. They couldn't find a pen and asked me to sign with a crayon. Not the best experience. read more

Was back in town for the holidays and visited Jack's Coffee House in Sparks. Not too far from downtown and has a variety of options for any pallet, great portions with reasonable prices. No problem getting seated on a Wednesday morning. Our server quickly brought our drinks, offered us the specials and some clarifications on a few dishes. Coffee was fresh as well as the OJ. All meals were served very hot and prepared with love. Everything was great. Our server checked up on us frequently but allowed us space to talk and enjoy our meal. Restaurant was very clean and service was awesome. I highly recommend Jack's Coffee House. They can accommodate large groups for those wanting a meal close to the holidays. read more

You guys. I've only been here twice but my husband comes occasionally when he's working in Reno. What is not to love? 1) the friendliest service 2) big portions, reasonable prices and fresh food 3) clean, clean, clean. Today I chose the fajita salad. Fresh veggies, delicious fajitas with tender chicken. The only thing I would suggest is a cilantro lime dressing option. Hubby got the usual breakfast but I couldn't take my eyes off of his toast. It's obviously homemade wheat bread with a generous amount of butter. You know I asked for a bite, even though I was so full. It was exactly what I imagined--tender, light and buttery. Yum! You won't find a friendlier service anywhere. They are so kind and take care of you so well. Diners like this may seem to have a retireee vibe about it but I saw young couples, families and mid-lifers, like ourselves. Also, they have a perpetual Christmas tree that celebrates all the holidays. Why are you still reading this? Get yourself over there! read more

If i am in the area I would stop in again. Servers were all very friendly, and I really enjoyed my omlette. The branding is a little confusing as inside it is Jacobo's on the menu and cups. Thanks for breakfast! read more

After passing by this establishment numerous times we've finally tried it out on a Sunday morning. I got the Chilaquiles with a Carne Asada on top. Chilaquiles were decent and so were rhe refried beans . My daughter had the crêpes and thought they were good . Pancakes were a little on the dry side Overall, the food was decent and service was ok. A little pricey for being a breakfast/coffee spot. We were in and out within 60 minutes. Not bad for a Sunday morning. read more

This place, despite what some people say, is one of the most amazingly well ran restaurant in the Reno Sparks area. Every time we go. The wait staff is super duper friendly. Always very helpful with dietary changes I need and also insanely quick to get the food to your table. It has always come out hot and fresh even when I go with a large group of 10+ people. My go to meal is the vegetarian omelet. So satisfying yet no meat needed. My wife gets something a little different every time. And my coworkers LOVE all of the variety they have. In fact they love this place so much we almost exclusively go here when we have some sort of company breakfast. Lots of parking outside. They get REAL busy on the weekends but like I said before....amazingly keep up with the demand in a very impressive way. read more

Sooooo good! Will be going back many times to try other items because they all look amazing! We chose the Berry scones and Berry Crunch French Toast this time and they were delicious. Clean plate club! Service was fast, staff were friendly, and one of the owner's was making sure every table was happy. Such a welcome change from many of the sit down food places in town! (It looks like some of the bad reviews are from when it was Jack's Coffee Shop. There are new owners.) read more

Maybe I'm disappointed because people told me how great Jacks was? I had high expectations? I ordered a side of mashed potatoes with country gravy plus extra gravy and I told her "the potatoes are just an excuse to eat lots of gravy". They were delivered with brown gravy and not much of it so I reminded her I wanted country gravy and LOTS of it. She brought back potatoes with the gravy in a soup cup on the side which was GREAT but it took quite a while to get it back to me. Then she'd forgotten my Cole Slaw and that took a while. She didn't bring my husband's toast till she REdelivered my potatoes and gravy so he waited to start eating till he got his toast. Then it was only one piece of toast. He asked how much for another piece and she thought it was $4 for a side order of toast. Hmmmmm? She was very pleasant. Maybe she is just new at waitressing? I try to give some slack on delayed service. Maybe the kitchen is slow delivering to her? My husband said his bacon and cheese omelet was ok but not great. My Cole Slaw looked delicious. It was fresh and crispy and homemade looking but it had almost no flavor. I added some orange marmalade to the last half of it and it was better. The country gravy was fine. The potatoes were ok. They do not have WiFi which bothered my husband. Basically the food was ok. Maybe my expectations were just too high? There was nothing great about the ambiance...table edges were old and worn. I think I'm spoiled by Los Altos restaurant. I'd say if you're hungry and nearby the food here is fine. Go for it. If you find this review useful please VOTE! read more

One on Wells is great which I am regular. Great menu. Great atmosphere. Food done to your specs. Try it you will come back over and over.

I'm just a little sorry we haven't been here before. Today that changed. We had a late breakfast/early lunch that was fantastic. The four egg omelet was the best I've had in Reno area and the Philly steak was a perfect ratio of ingredients. The value was great but the service was the icing on the cake. Well done, well done read more

First time in to try it amazing see my post! It's been freshly painted. Looks bright and sunny in here. Stuff is fantastic. Food is amazing.

Hands down the best breakfast I've had in years!!!! The Huevo rancheros was top notch and the chilaquiles was on point!!

There are 2 Jack's in the area, this is the OG and one of the best places in town to get breakfast. Been taking my family here since the early aughts. One thing that frustrates me when I go out to breakfast is every breakfast combo, skillet, burrito, etc has eggs. This isn't a problem if I can't substitute but a number of places don't so I am often paying for food I do not eat. Jacks has a breakfast plate where eggs aren't even an option, just meat, potatoes veggies and cheese and it's literally the only menu in this town that has an option like that. The place has a greasy spoon Diner feel but the service is quick and friendly, finding parking on the weekend is the only real challenge. read more

Great Breakfast, staff, environment, and cooks. Clean for as busy they are. I appreciate a great breakfast that I don't have to cook. They have veggie options. I dont like paying for bacon when I don't eat pig. They have breakfast choices without meat. My Soapbox: Charge a customer for meat they wont eat is wasteful and stealing if you look at it. Only extra profit on meat. Theft in my book. Other restaurants should take Jack's example. Have items without meat as choices. read more

This is the best place for breakfast!!! My go to is the Crab Benedict and my boyfriend gets a waffle made with bacon inside. The staff are extremely friendly and very attentive. There is no better place for me in Reno for breakfast. Thank you! read more

I was visiting my daughter and the grandkids. I read the reviews and decided to give it a try. We immediately noticed the green leprechauns adorning the Christmas tree. The place is quite spacious and welcoming. Awesome idea. I love all of the holidays. Vi was our waitress. She was very personable and friendly. The kids ordered crepes. My daughter had the poblano omelette and I had the country breakfast. The kids loved their crepes (banana and mixed fruit). My daughter very much enjoyed hers, and I left more than satisfied. I had two eggs over medium, country potatoes the onions and green peppers, two sausage patties and two biscuits and gravy. Huge portions all around. My biscuits were perfect. My daughter even commented on them ("they look fluffy"). My words exactly. My grandson almost finished his entire plate of crepe with mixed fruit, I believe it was, and that boy can eat. I almost finished mine, but did not want to feel uncomfortably full. Shout out to Vi for the great service and making us feel welcome. Makes me wish I wasn't visiting. Definitely give the place a try. read more

We've been going to Jacobo's (formerly Jacks) for about eight months. The name change happened about two months ago. The menu is chock full of great breakfast and lunch choices and after taking your order the food is brought out QUICKLY! They have a great variety of seating for small or large parties and have several large screen TVs playing your favorite sport events.All the servers are great but we always ask for Paola. She's terrific! read more

I was visiting family and found this place to grab some breakfast. I arrived and placed an order for 6 breakfast plates for takeout. The food was ready in less than 30 minutes.

It seems like such a fun place to eat with all the lovely decor they have. read more

One of the best lattes I've ever had, food was great, staff was very friendly! Well done!

My family visited this establishment on a Saturday Morning for breakfast. Parking is no problem here there is plenty. It was a quick process to be seated, but once seated it was quite some time to be served. Once we ordered it also took some time to receive or food about 45 min. The food was not very hot just your basic eggs country potatoes and toast. I did have biscuits and gravy which was warm, but the gravy was very bland with no flavor. It was pretty loud and there was a lot of clanking plates. I did not enjoy the stations they had around the restaurant where the servers would scrape plates into a garbage can then throw the plates into the bins. The wall was covered in old food and there was an over flowing basket of dirty napkins. read more

We haven't been to this location at Prater and Mccarran since it was a Sizzler steakhouse! Now it's a Jack's Coffee shop- it's HUGE inside, lots of space, especially with that salad bar station removed. Jack's has coffee shop hours, open daily, 7 am to 2 pm. We came in on April 16th 2025 for a late lunch. Veronica was our server, and she was SO nice, so friendly and fast. BTW, EVERY team member here is VERY friendly, and very helpful. We ordered a Chicken Chipotle Wrap in a spinach Tortilla, and a Grilled Chicken Taco Salad, which was SO delicious but we just couldn't finish either one, there was so much food there! Leftovers were packed in to go containers, to be enjoyed later. We will certainly be back to enjoy other items on their large menu. read more

This is a newer breakfast spot on sparks. I have been to one similar restaurant in Reno. I believe this is a chain restaurant here. I enjoyed this location a lot more. This building used to be Sizzlers. But it closed down. Jack's coffee house is a great addition to the community. There is plenty of parking onsite. They can accommodate bigger crowds. It's a very family friendly breakfast spot too. I definitely recommend checking this place out. The pancakes are better than IHOP. Their customer service was great! read more

Best food! Appetizing and great presentation. Wonderful service and generous with the food.

Service was good, waitress acknowledged us even tho she was busy so we knew she'd be on her way shortly. Food all cooked good as ordered; however lacked taste - flavor - seasoning - something. Tried their sampler platter which we did enjoy their mozzarella sticks; one item that had taste. Fries ok, both fish and pork chop needed salt/pepper something. Coming from Hawaii I like a lotta lotta seasoning. read more

Great locals breakfast diner spot. While the dining room is open, the vibe is warm and cozy. On the late Friday morning I was (I've done here several times already), service was quick and prompt and friendly. Hot water refill was often offered for my tea and I love the lovely lemon slices offered. I usually get the Joe scramble with toast and it came hot and quick and delicious. My friend ordered a patty melt medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. Ranch was offered with her perfectly crisp fries and it arrived quickly. I really can't say anything more except this is a 10/10 for me every time. read more

Pretty neat breakfast joint, spacious dining area, lots of variety on menu. Tried the jacks skillet and my brother tried the country fried steak. Huge portions and very filling, had to take leftovers to go. Service was friendly and accommodating. When using the bathroom light has a motion sensor and when I was using the bathroom lights turned off and I was left in pitch darkness, but I had my phone so that's all good. Recommend for breakfast if you like big portions. read more

This was our first visit to Jacobo's, in the old Sizzler location, in Sparks and we will be back!!! Great food, menu selection and service.

Do yourself a favor and give this most welcome restaurant to Sparks a try. read more

Dined in for the first time at this location this past weekend with a friend. We both ordered three scones each to start. Who am I kidding? That's one of the best things about Jacks. Iykyk My friend ordered their all meat skillet and I ordered the "Lo que sea". My Chile relleno was delicious, and my salsa was fresh and had great flavor. My steak was overcooked, and fat was untrimmed. I think next time, I'll order the Chile relleno. Lo que sea hit the spot, and coffee was strong per usual. This Jack's was formally Sizzler; they just removed the bar. There's plenty of seating here for small or large parties. The restaurant was packed, and our server was attentive enough. Our bus girl was awesome! She kept our drinks full, and our creamer stocked. I feel terrible that I didn't catch her name, but I'll be sure to on my next visit. read more

Waited to be seated for 30 minutes - no biggie. Got seated and waited for over an hour. Our waitress said there was a "ticket malfunction" aka she forgot to put our order in. She only checked on our table once. People were seated after us and got food before us. Absolutely ridiculous. read more

The serves was outstanding; the team work was beautiful and coefficient! I had several people serving me. It wasn't that this is my area attitude. I'm 66 and have never experienced the level of care and teamwork in a restaurant. Not even Gordon Ramsey! The food was hot and delicious. The star was how the coffee stayed hot without warm ups. Sounds crazy huh! Go and see for yourself! read more
