    Veggie omelet
    Scott M.

    Had high hopes for this place. Service was quick. Food was kind of bland but was ables to spice it up with salsas and Tapatio. Water had a weird taste to it. I believe its the same owners as when it was Jack's cafe? Seemed like the same menu. Been there do e that is how I felt when we left.

    Lots of breakfast options and lunch options. I got the vegetarian omelet with potatoes and sourdough toast. It was good, not much flavor. Loaded it up with hot sauce and pepper. The service was good. Interesting decor Summer Christmas vibe. My grandson got the chicken and waffles and he wasn't too impressed as my husband got the chorizo quesadilla. Everything was okay, not very flavorful, bland tasting. The water had a funny taste, like perhaps tap water and not filtered. Reading the menu I was excited about trying the food, but it did not impressed with the food.

    This place was an unexpected, pleasant surprise! I had no idea it existed. I came here Friday for a late breakfast. The atmosphere is welcoming and festive. Lots of menu options and different genres of food. We started with 3 of their blackberry scones (reminded me of beignets). They weren't overly sweet and were perfect to share. I opted for the chilaquiles with green sauce and added the ranchera. Absolutely phenomenal! And a huge portion I barely put a dent in mine. We also ordered the t-bone breakfast which was also massive. I had to try their michelada. Made to perfect. Not too saucy, just a good amount. Definitely want to come back and try some other items. Thank you!

    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.

    Joe's Special
    Robert M.

    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..

    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.

    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.

    Chilaquiles with green sauce and carne asada
    Raquel F.

    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.

    Veggie Omelet
    Robert S.

    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.

    The Mexican omlette
    Evan S.

    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!

    I had my usual clam chowder soup bowl. It was very warm and hearty breakfast. My husband had his french toast which is an all time favorite. We also added some scones. I learned they make their own scones. Fresh and really yummy. You should try it if you haven't yet.

    Amazing place. It was around $78 for a table of 4. (2) kid meals. And 2 adult entrees.

    Mashed potatoes with EXTRA country gravy
    Danada M.

    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!

We were pleasantly greeted & seated immediately, then just like that, our server (Ramon Jr) was at our table, took our drink order & answered a few questions. I'm glad I had perused the menu yesterday & pretty much knew what I wanted, my daughter ordered Ramon's Skillet & I had the Chicken Fried Steak and eggs ( gravy on the side). Portions were huge. I was glad cuz I had been fasting due to a medical procedure. They know what they are doing in the kitchen, eggs were perfectly over medium w/ crispy edges just the way I like them. The chicken fried steak was really Milanese style, perfectly crispy like I'm used to in Mexico, I tasted the gravy & it was really good but once I realized it wasn't American style CFS, I asked our waiter for salsa & pico to put on top!!! Perfection!! I had a lot to tangle with on my own plate but my daughter & I swapped bites of each others dishes, hers came with soft tortillas, the bite I had melted in my mouth! Couldn't finish either plate so decided to take the rest to go. There are many items on the menu I want to try so we will definitely be back!

Once seated, we ordered quickly and received our drinks right away. Unfortunately, nearly an hour later, we still had not received any food. We were eventually told they had new staff working in the kitchen, but no one kept us updated or explained the delay until we asked. The restaurant was only half full at 11:10 a.m. on a Sunday. We understand that new staff may need time to get settled, but waiting more than an hour for food in a half-empty restaurant--with very little communication--was disappointing. Hopefully, this was just an unusually bad day and they can get the kitchen and service back on track.

I got there kind of late morning and was surprised to get a table without issue. The place was about half filled and got choice of table. No issue getting a table without my friends arriving yet which was nice. Combed over the menu and had a couple things on my radar which got thrown for a loop when I was told "You can make any scramble a burrito or taco". WHAT??? How do you not love that? And why aren't more places doing this? Opted for the Traditional breakfast burrito made into tacos. Felt like it was the most complete option of items that I would want in a taco versus some of the others like having potatoes in it or something. Came with choice of potatoes, pico, and salsa. The pico and salsa were just the right amount for the 3 tacos. I really enjoyed the tacos, but wish it had a bit more protein. I probably would have been better off with sausage or maybe adding sausage to have both. Me and a buddy also split a side of French toast. I had heard they have the best french toast and while I'm not a big french toast fan (i enjoy it, just never order it), It was great. Not great enough to convert me to getting it, but definately one of the better ones ive had. We will be back again for sure. Wish I remembered the servers name, she was great. I think it was Alana.

Hubby had the breakfast burrito the size of Popeye's forearm with a side of biscuit & gravy. I ordered a bacony benedict type thingy with onions & cheese, it was divoon. The gravy for the biscuit was a little thin but a generous portion of it. Overall, we were both very happy with out takeout and had no issues or delays picking the order up. It was almost noon on the 4th of July when I ordered but still had no issues, and the restaurant did not seem to be it's usual business at that time. Moral of the story: if you like Squeeze In on a weekend or holiday just to come here and complain about the wait or service, maybe just order ahead & get take-out?

Their breakfast menu is tempting, but it was after Eleven A.M. and I was craving a hamburger bad. My friend who accompanied me wanted a plain cheese omelette, she is a very basic eater which is her choice to only order familiar food. Boring ! Anyway, beyond the food, the service was great and the staff is wonderful. I urge anyone who hasn't tried this place to definitely add it to your list, I'm certain it will become a favorite. The only complaint is that on this particular day the kitchen was short staffed and we did wait awhile for our food to arrive, but I'm patient with these kinds of things after working in the restaurant industry for many years. So the food arrived and my eyes popped out of my head when my burger arrived, the patty was meaty and the vegetables on the burger were fresh. I chose the Mushroom Swiss burger, Wow ! Every bite was delicious and the French Fries were so crisp and delicious. I filled my belly to its limit with this meal. Oh, and my friend's omelette was unbelievable it was so fluffy and it was served steaming, every bite steam kept rising from it, it's like nothing we had ever seen, unbelievable ! As for me I probably won't be ordering a burger anywhere else. Excellent ! I did also order a Latte and it was filled to the rim and quite good. They definitely deserve 5 Stars.

(For reference, I'll return to a restaurant I rate a 4 but I won't return to a restaurant I rated a 3 unless someone I'm with wants to go to it). Here's what they do well: exceptionally good and friendly service, the portions are extremely generous given the already great prices, homemade flour tortillas, smooth horchata, great guac (finely diced onion and tomato in it), delicious bean and cheese burrito with great umami (love when it's salty and richly flavorful), being able to view the kitchen in action (people pay a lot of money for those teppanyaki show style dinners! lol), and frankly because they were already rated so high I figured the Yelp community can't be wrong! Here's what was less than impressive on my visit in late August 2026: my huevos rancheros sauce was bland. I could sense there was a hint of chicken bullion in the background but for the most part I felt like I was eating watered down canned tomato sauce that had been thickened with cornstarch and had a pinch of bullion. I was hoping for some acidity, some cumin, some spice-- something! But it just fell flat. I was also disappointed that there was essentially bits of raw bell pepper just thrown on top. In addition, I personally don't mind their deteriorating "ambiance" but I think it might matter to the average person searching reviews on Yelp so I gotta tell ya, it's rough inside; I'm talking exposed wood in the countertop, cracked and peeling barstool cushions (all they have is barstool seating by the way, but there's plenty of seats and they are lined up around a long counter that faces the kitchen). Now, I can't end with that for a "4" so do let me remind you of some of the good: great prices, good portions, friendly service, and lots of yelpers appear to rate them highly. My recommendation, perhaps try a burrito-- the simple bean and cheese burrito my daughter got (that I took a bite of) was fantastic.

I did not know how it worked to find a table because there were no open tables or staff available.

I saw a couple other customers leave during that time as well. They really need more people working and I am surprised they have such high ratings. At the second location on Plumb Ln, they were crazy busy as well, but they had a manager managing to help speed up cleaning tables and finding tables that were empty for anyone that came in. It felt a lot more welcoming than the first location. As we were waiting, the interior is more modern and has high ceilings which makes it feel a lot more open and comfortable. The wait was about 20 minutes. Once we got a table, our server did not get our drink or food orders for a while. She was busy. I ordered the Fresh Mushroom and Spinach Omelet and it was good; however, everything else on the plate was not visually appetizing or tasted as good as the omelet. My boyfriend ordered the Hungry Man Waffle Combo which come with 2 waffles, 2 eggs, 2 pieces of bacon, and 2 pieces of sausage. He did the get the sausage and was given 2 extra pieces of bacon instead. This is fine, but we wish someone notified him of the swap. Not sure why they did not have any more sausage either. Overall, I would not come back because both locations are out of the way, and the service and food was not at the level that makes me want to go back.
