Not much to look at from the outside nor inside. Located off I 40 it was an excellent place to meet some local friends while passing through Greensboro.Breakfast all day. Had the Friday blue plate with chopped steak, mashed potatoes, biscuit, and string beans. Food was good and priced reasonably. Servers were efficient and I hope to be back soon. read more

Our server Ashlea S recommended the ranchero Benedict. It was amazing! Everything came out quick and fresh.

Jakes Diner has gone through a lot of changes over the years that I've been here. Now I actually find that I'm enjoying their meals. I feel like I'm getting great service and better quality food. It may not be the first place I think you to go, but it's definitely on a list of... I know what I can eat there, that's really good and it won't break my bank. read more

I ordered the grilled pork chops, potatoes, eggs with cheese & toast. Usually the grilled pork chops are very good. Today However, it was very salty. The potatoes were very salty too. I was extremely disappointed. The eggs was the only things good. read more

It is typical diner food and good service. Had the pork chop special. Might try this again if I am back in Greensboro

Back to Jake's on Wendover. Service was prompt and friendly. Breakfast was good: I got the Veggie Omelette again with grits and a biscuit and some extra gravy. We thought the food was very good. They were busy but everything went smooth. read more

I had dinner today, which was a Turkey Club with fries. The service was quick and with a smile. My waitress, Melissa, checked on me, and got my order right. The place was nice and tidy. The prices were fair, and I'll return to this restaurant if I am back in town. read more

We experienced the best service this morning at the Wendover Location! Ashley was the best and customer service was A1! The food was brought to us fresh and hot and fast! Will definitely return on our next visit to NC. read more

You cannot beat the sausage egg and cheese melt combo for $11. Come with their famous hash browns and a pickle. A staple for those who need a super savory and reliable breakfast. The service is pretty good and this location was clean. read more

Great food, Amazing Prices! Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. Everything including the restrooms were clean. Food delivered HOT and to our table within mins of ordering. I would gladly come back! read more

Jake's wendover has no heat. This has nothing to do with the recent weather because this problem was last year. They need to close and get their heat fixed. It's no fun trying to eat with coat on. I eat here at least three times a week. The food and the service is exceptional, but asking people to endure a colder atmosphere than outside is unacceptable. read more

I had French Toast and bacon, my wife had an omelette. The food was good. The wait wasn't long and service was pretty good. My only criticism is that I wish plates were cleared when we were done eating. They sat there until after we paid the bill and left. read more

Jake's Diner - French toast with bacon and an egg a la carte. - American Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

Nice standard diner faire. I opted for a no-meat breakfast lovers plate and chose to sun in home fries for the grits. I liked that they mathed out the substitution costs right in the menu. They got the cook on my eggs right and my home fries were okay, but not amazing. It didn't seem like they seasoned the food much, but there was salt on the table. We did have to wait about 20 mins to get a table and service was slow, but that's pretty forgivable since we went on a busy weekend morning. People are packed pretty tight in the space, so it's loud and not for socially phobic folks. But, they fed us and we were really happy. This place is a solid option for a diner breakfast. read more

Jake's Diner - a plate of breakfast food - American Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

This is a solid 4 star experience. Not a bad thing. Jake's is one of those local places which fall into the IYKYK category. It's a diner. While it may not be a James Beard award winning or Michelin starred establishment, you can get some good food at reasonable prices. Yes. You can get breakfast 24/7. I am not of that cloth. There were 7 of us having a "farewell family breakfast". I've been here a few times. Food is usually good. Everyone ordered breakfast except me. The breakfast portions were generous. Nobody left hungry. Now the grits were in a cup. Look at the pics. Again, we had full bellies. The group roast was stacked on a plate in the middle of the table. I liked that approach. You see the pics. No room on the plates for it anyway. Shout out to our sever whose name I don't recall. This young man was on point! He worked his tables like a pro. No grunts groans or scowls when we asked for items. Kept our drinks filled. Ambiance? I mean it is a diner. The place was packed for Sunday morning. Oh, I've attempted the "after the club closes" run. We didn't because we're were too hangry to wait on take out. So glad this restaurant survived the pandemic. Wendover just wouldn't be the same without that Jake's Diner sign. read more

While the service was good, everything else was disappointing. My French toast was white in the center and lacking in flavor and the coffee was disappointing. Our very kind waitress kept checking in to make sure our food was "okay," and honestly that's the best way to describe the food. It's okay, but it's really not great and I honestly think the Waffle House next door is wayyyyy better. read more

we've eaten here several times and it is always busy. Nice atmosphere pleasant white staff food was good potions were generous and my favorite is French toast with bacon! read more

We have been coming here for literal decades but lately I'm worried things are just going downhill. We are here now and it's about 90° inside and the servers say they can't change the temp!?!? Why can't they change the temperature ? I'm watching people come in, ask about the AC and then turn around and leave. Crazy. read more

When I received my check I asked did they honor Veterans and the server said the system was messed up and they couldn't add the discount. I then mentioned to her, "whenever I get my Veterans discount, I apply it to the servers tip." Also, whenever I tip, I also round up to a whole number with .00 change. When I received my credit card statement, it had a completely different amount which was more than I paid. I called back up to the restaurant and the manager told me, I hit the wrong button, and she gave a bunch of other b.s. excuses why my card was charged like it was. I won't ever go back to a Jake's in Greensboro, and I will be sure to let those people I know that go there, my experience. read more

Jake's Diner - Seating area - American Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

We were in town and looking for a breakfast place for a Saturday morning. While driving to the Waffle House we saw the sign for Jake's Diner next door and opted for it instead. Glad we did. We walked in and immediately sat at the counter. Our server was quick and attentive. It is a bit chilly sitting at the counter in the winter every time the door would open. My husband and I were both pleased with our breakfast orders. I had 2 eggs over medium with upgrade to hash browns, bacon and toast. It was perfect diner breakfast. He had eggs and pork chops with grits and was content. Sodas are Pepsi products and were $3.50 each. They add a surcharge for using a credit card as stated on the bill, we opted to pay in cash. read more

This the first time i went there and food was very nasty and my toast had hair on it .......

Very simple the owner needs to the 2nd shift wait staff very rude trying to get in an confrontation with customers be careful they will call the police on you for nothing wait staff very hateful worst customer service waitstaff I have seen in my 50 yrs to sim it up they have very SmartA.. Attitude I used to own a restaurant I know what I am talking about here this is the Jake's on Wendover av at big tree way they have more than one Jake's in Greensboro nc but this one has very smart a.. wait staff that try's to get into argument with customers so the staff can call the police they seem to get off enjoyment of the police coming to there restaurant to mess with customers that did not warrant that to happen the wait staff just enjoy setting up customers for problems ! This is the 2nd shift I don't know about there other shift but 2 nd shift is not a good time to go to this business read more

Blah food, service was good. And our waitress was very friendly and attentive. I walked up to the counter and asked for some A1 because our server was in the kitchen. The other server behind the bar was very rude about getting it for me. And kept giving our server dirty looks. Not sure what was going on, but the drama was evident. read more

Online and at the store shows they close at 11pm. If you get there at 1034 they will tell you they are closed and the kitchen closes at 1030. Don't waste your time coming to this location. The servers obviously don't like to make money. read more

We stopped on a whim, Friday at 8 pm. Had the fish fry , it was fresh and delicious! Menu had a wide variety of diner meals . Coffee was very good , waitress was attentive.. It was clean and smelled wonderful read more

Just moved to the area and was looking to get a quick meal one night so I decided on Jake's. Great food and quick wonderful service!! Very friendly environment and I love their hot chips! read more

I saw this place open until 11pm so, at 10pm I called to place an order. No Answer. So, I drive there. I walk inside to place an order and they tell me they stop taking orders at 10:15pm, it's now 10:21. That was not on their website. I've worked in food service, front and back of the house. I hate this kind of BS. It's lazy. Terrible policy. I'd fire them. I'll never eat here. read more

Probably one of the worst tasting breakfast places that I've had to pay for other than the tasteless breakfast you get at some cheap hotels. The service was okay. The place seemed dirty inside and outside. Go to Waffle House next door. Night and day difference! read more

Great experience. Straight-ahead southern cafe breakfast approach. Party of 6 on a busy morning, Brianna took our order by memory, everyone with a unique order. BRIANNA WAS PERFECT!!! Food was super! Thanks Jake's & Brianna! We really enjoyed you and other staffs help at our table. read more

Doesn't look fancy but when you walk in they all greet you with a smile. Service is superior and the food excellent. We loved the pancakes the best! My husband and I are very picky about cleanliness, service, and quality of food. This place has it all. read more

Eat at the diner there several times a week. We are always pleased. I've only eaten there on the first shift, the manager is always there and attentive to everyone's needs read more

Love this place. I enjoy country style foods plus I can do breakfast anytime if the day.

Good for breakfast but this one is not as good as the only on Holden. The service was good. I get the fat cat or the French Toast or the simple 2 eggs breakfast. Dim lighting and odd setup. read more

If you are interested in being humiliated when you walk up to the counter and politely say Hi, then this is the place for you. Mary Beth, the manager, who surprisingly was training another employee snapped at me for saying hi. then she held a brief conversation with another staff member about me. Whatever she said caused the entire staff and the customers at the counter to turn around and look at me. I was on the phone with my husband while picking up the order. He told me to report the incident to the manager. I was told by the young lady that she was the manager on duty. All I said was Hi. the Battleground location. Woman own business attacks another woman read more

I visited your restaurant on W Wendover ave today 01/21/2025. I placed an order for 2 sausage egg and cheese sandwiches with mayo and onion. When the order came up I opened the sandwich to inspect to see if it was done correctly. There was not no mayo and onions on both sandwiches. I told the waitress to make sure that it was added and that did not happen so I sent the order back to be remade. it was not remade, it went to the back line and according to the health department any for touch by the customer should never be sent back to the kitchen due to contamination. The cook tried to be funny by putting tons of mayo in this sandwich and sent it back. Well when i opened it there was so much mayo on the sandwich it was falling out of the wrapper. So I got angry and told the waitress I wanted them remade, which was not done again. I watched the cook take the sausage and egg off with his hands and placed it on new bread. very disgusting. After I got home I placed a call to Guilford county health department. read more

Well... we are done. My family has been eating at Jake's for over 2 decades and have enjoyed it many more times than I can count. We loved the wait staff, the food and management. But over the last couple of years things, especially with the Drawbridge and Battleground locations, have just been terrible. Forgotten items on orders, wrong orders and just cold terrible food. The last straw was tonight, in our close to $40 order, we did not receive eggs we ordered, we specifically set a time of 5:00PM for pickup and got there 10 minutes early to find the food already done... and cold. It was terrible, overcooked and greasy bacon, cold bland burger and missing and order of eggs. I called to let them know that items were missing and was basically told it was the cook staffs fault. Enough is enough. The food is priced to high to throw it out, we literally tossed almost the whole meal. read more

Ever had that urge at 4am for a breakfast that you yourself didn't want to cook? Ever threw caution to the wind and rolled out, looking like death, and went to find a 24hr diner? Maybe not! Well I did this morning and didn't regret it! Granted, the characters in the diner at that time are quite interesting! The food here at Jake's Diner is spot on for diner food! My two soft scrambled eggs were just that...soft! My sausage links were tasty and a little spicy! The biscuit and gravy were good, with the biscuit being the better of the two! The coffee here is fantastic and quickly replenished! If you can get past the late night craziness of the customers, the food was good and the things coming from the kitchen is enticing me to return! read more
