This was my first time at this Jake's on North Battleground. The food was awesome. I had the Veggie Omelette, bowl of gravy and English Muffin (and Diet Pepsi, coffee-d out this morning). They get the food out very fast. They are nicely decorated for Christmas holiday season. The servers are efficient and work as a team. This was our pre-golf meal. read more

Tried this location due to its proximity to the nearby hospital. I placed an online order, and it was ready as promised. I got the chef salad with turkey and ham, and it was huge. Everything tasted really fresh, from the lettuce to the meats and toppings. Overall, it was a smooth experience and a solid option if you're in the area and need something fresh and convenient. read more

The food was ok. The service was good and the ambiance was typical diner chatter I had a grilled chicken sandwich and fries. It was good. read more

We really wanted to try the new spot down the street but couldn't get in the parking lot. So glad this place was close by. It was a great choice but I knew that from last year when I had a breakfast sandwich that I preordered and picked up in the drive through on my way to an appointment nearby. The food was hot and fresh-we both had veggie omelettes. Mine was cheese with spinach and mushrooms with home fries (pictured) and dry toast (asked for dark but didn't get it -that's okay) and my coworkers was veggie no tomato sub for spinach, and grits with rye toast. I admit that the rye looked good and it was seedless so I'll definitely try that one next time. My only other wish was that the coffee was piping hot but it wasn't. Otherwise, the server was extremely nice and allowed us to stay and finish our business meeting without being rushed. Thank you! read more

I love me some Jake's. I don't know why they are only 3 stars. I have not had a bad meal here. The hostess Maggie was super sweet and personable. A missing touch these days if you ask me. Our server was great and the food is classic diner food with reasonable prices. How can you go wrong. If you haven't been in awhile try them again! read more

Perfect quick local stop for breakfast. Always quick, consistent, convenient. You can order breakfast and lunch at anytime. Counter seats or booth seats. I tried the avocado toast, this trip. It was fine- but next time going to stick with the diner favorite options!! read more

I had high expectations as this is a spot that people mention frequently and I had never been before! The menu was quite large with many options. I went for early lunch and ordered grilled marinated chicken with okra and broccoli casserole. I was unimpressed. The chicken had no flavor and was dry. The okra was ok but not seasoned well. The broccoli casserole was very bland and needed salt and pepper or something. I don't salt much but the food needed something. I wish I had ordered breakfast as it's more challenging (in my mind) to mess it up. Who knows...maybe I will try again. read more

We stopped for breakfast this morning after the wife's Dr appt. As always good food and great service. It's our usual Diner for breakfast never disappoints. Always clean and great atmosphere. read more

We go to Jakes on North Battleground for breakfast. Food is always good, fresh, hot-not sitting under heat lamps. Sami is the most wonderful server, works mornings at Jakes, and if you go, be sure to ask for her. Great personality, great service, a lovely lady! read more

Jake's diner is go to a spot when we want diner food. We always take advantage of the breakfast items that was the same today. The eggs were cooked spot on for over easy and the home fries or seasoned well and tasted great. Inside was clean. And well organized. Our server was great. She interacted with the kids well and she made sure we had everything we needed checked in on this multiple times and gave us extra items to take home to make sure we had enough. read more

The food is so dang good, a wide variety menu including breakfast all day which is such a treat & our server Sammi was incredible!

Well...the waitstaff was awesome. Biscuit was soggy. Bacon crispy(thankfully). Grits bland. Eggs decent. The thing that ticked me off was speaking to the chef and telling her gracious and speaking fluent Spanish to her and she still completely ignored me while I was paying. The only reason I spoke to her was bc she came up to my waitress and spoke to her while I was leaving. My bill was $8 and I tipped $5 just bc the waitress was so accommodating. Not sure if the chef is hard of hearing, but I do not appreciate being ignored especially when giving a meaningful, heart felt compliment. I'll never be back. read more

A true diner with a friendly staff. I really enjoy their traditional breakfast items and their hamburgers with a side of hash browns. For me, there is something irresistible about a burger cooked on a flat grill. The flavors are intact and the sear from the grill keep in the moisture. They serve the burger on a nice roll with lettuce, tomato, onions and mayonnaise. Jake's does a nice job and they don't pretend to be anything different than what they are. I like to sit at the counter, interact with the others and talk with the waitresses. The food is if good quality, the service is prompt and the prices are fair...it makes for a solid meal and I'd encourage you to give them a try. read more

The N Battleground location is the best of all the Jake's Diners in town. It is usually full. Usually there for breakfast, but lunch and dinner have been good, too. The serice is great!! Service is also the best of the Jakes. Food is above average. Our 7 & 10 year old grandchildren's favorite breakfast place. I would give it a 5 if the cooks new how to serve HOT GRITS. read more

Jake's doesn't get enough credit. It's a cute spot, with great food and cute decor. They play music from the 60s and 70s and the staff always gets our order right. My breakfast for dinner was hot and delicious. As you can see, this platter is SO full and the pancakes and toast aren't even in the shot. Go to Jake's. It's good food, and good times. read more

I dined in this morning and everything was delicious! The place was packed but my food came fast and it was hot and delicious. I had the Western Omelet and it was loaded with ham, onions and colored peppers and cooked perfectly. I also had grits and toast and they were also very tasty. If time allows, I may be back tomorrow before I hit the highway. Oh, and some of the best coffee!!!! My server was Katie and she provided excellent service! read more

This was a tasty breakfast for lunch! I started off with a nice cup of coffee with some international delight french vanilla creamer. I appreciate that they have this creamed bc many diners do not. I couldn't make up my mind so I got the fat cat special! Eggs scrambled with cheese, bacon, sausage links, home fries and a biscuit accompanied by two pancakes. My service was good and the was delicious. read more

Jake's other locations have always been solid choices for breakfast or a quick diner lunch(usually plates, like Chicken Fried Steak on Tuesdays, etc), so I decided to give this one a try - actually stopped in three over a 8 or 9 day period for take out. I had not really tried the burgers or sandwiches at Jake's so I decided that I'd give a few a try. Over that span I tried their ATW Burger ($7.20) with a side of Onion Rings, an all Beef Hot Dog ($2.50), a Chopped Steak Sandwich ($8.70) with Chips as a side, a Hamburger Club ($7.50) with Fries, and a Sausage Dog ($3.95). Some where along the way I grabbed a Chef's Salad ($7.95), to be healthy you see! After working my way thru the above items, I couldn't help but come to the conclusion that sandwiches are not their strong suit, and the sides are more than a little pedestrian, much like many diners. The hot dog was very average, decent wiener but not much taste to the chili, and the Chopped Steak Sandwich had much the same problem as the chili, though a good helping of salt helped some! The Sausage Dog was ok once the overly sweet slaw was mostly removed. The ATW (all the way) Burger was also just ok with the same chili adding little, but I wouldn't settle for it when there are some many superior choices available, and a poor side adds nothing, so the pricing isn't a real plus either. The Hamburger Club, with cheese, was pretty good, and I'd order it if in the area, and was craving one (I do really like a Hamburger Club) - but it would not be a destination spot for the club, like Country Kitchen is! And finally, the Chef's Salad was very good, with plenty of meat and cheese, and fresh lettuce. The Thousand Island Dressing was also very nice - would reorder this! I might come back to this location for breakfast or a lunch plate, but would not for a sandwich! read more

Traditional diner. Food is excellent, service great, love the breakfast menu. Our favorite Sunday morning breakfast spot.

I was informed my pick-up order was ready at 10:05. I get there around 10:15-10:20. I told the lady who was at the to-go order area my name. She walked off and I assumed she would go check to see if my order is ready. It was, see attached picture. They were busy, but not that busy where she couldn't have walked over to where my order was ready and bag it for me. And I would have been out within 5 minutes. It took her another 15-20 minutes before she bagged my order and gave it to me. I left and then came back inside and she says "Is there something wrong?" I replied with "No, just double-checking my order." I didn't want to go all the way home and then the order not be correct. After I gave my answer, she gave me a look. So then I said "Is that not ok?" I get home and decided to call and ask to speak with the manager. A lady who answered said they were busy and asked if they could call me back. I told her that was not needed and to pass along my feedback of the above situation; "I came to pick up my to-go order and had to wait an extra 15-20 minutes when I could have been out in less than 5 minutes." the lady who answered the phone just hung up after I said that. One would expect a response of something along the lines of either: 1) Yes, I'll make sure the manager knows. 2) I apologize for your experience and make sure the manager is aware But no, just hung up on me. I'm assuming the lady who picked up my phone was also the lady who decided I should wait an extra 15-20 minutes for no reason. Safe to say I will never go back, there are plenty of other places with as good or even better food and service. read more

One of my favorite diners to visit, and I go there every Sunday with my father as tradition, is Carolina's diner near the airport. Yesterday, we went there and they were swamped so we tried here. One of the benefits of Carolina's diner, aside from the good food is they all wear masks properly, and are friendly about it, and since COVID, each table has a clear partition between tables for safety My father is a very high risk person due to Chemo. Also even though he has gotten his shots, we have a cousin (and son, too) who also got his shots and still got covid. Not only were most of the tables at Jakes being used, but there were no clear safety partitions and tables were mostly close. Furthermore most of the waitresses not wearing masks over their noses. It was a danger to my father. Next weekend we will go back to Carolina's diner. read more

I wanted to have some good breakfast and this place was recommended. I had a Philly cheese steak omelet and cheese grits. They tasted amazing! The place had a Happy Days kind of vibe as well. As a first timer, if I go into Greensboro again, I'm stopping here! read more

Jake's Diner - Philly Cheese and Steak omelet with cheese grits - Diners Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

Freshly opened last week. Burgers, sandwiches, and breakfast all day. This is super friendly, and newly remolded and fresh appearance. The restrooms are perhaps holdover from when this was Kentucky Fried Chicken. The door and the lighting are but otherwise clean. Brie was a wait person and friendly as all get out. They are working out a few start-up kinks and most patrons were understanding. There are no pies yet in the pie case - I am looking forward to that. Breakfast items are mostly included but hash browns or fries were extra. The sausage was Neeses - super good. Prices were affordable. We arrived at 2:00 PM but the parking lot was almost full. Recommend you give this a try. . read more

Waited 30 minutes for the simple breakfast, never had my drinks refilled, and after all that time, I was packing up to go when the surly waitress brought out 1 waffle. Told her I was leaving, because I'm starving, and there were only 2 other patrons in the place, and she rolled her eyes and told me, "Uh, it's shift change bitch". Very nice. Will never be back. read more

We were back to Jake's Battleground location for a second time today after a doctor's visit. We arrived both times just before lunch time. As a result we were seated immediately and the service was quick. Bree was our server today and did a good job. She even brought a refill on our Iced Teas without me having to ask, but she brought one for Mary who never finished her first one, especially in the big glass Jake's serves you. While we appreciated the thought and service it was a waste of money for them since Mary's didn't get touched. We have had the Hamburgers both times with fries, mine a Bacon Cheeseburger and Mary a Hassel Burger. On both visits they have been out of stock on something we ordered but the server did not know until she placed our order. She then had to come back to get a replacement. Today it was Hot Potato Chips, and I don't remember what it was the last time. I know this location is relatively new, but they should at least have the experience to keep common items on stock. The burgers were ok, but wouldn't make me drive there especially for them. We stopped because we were in the area at lunch time. If we go back, maybe I will order breakfast to see how it is. read more

The food is great. Good old American comfort food, made just right. The waitresses are amazing. Heidi, April, Coleena, Kasie, Tammy, they are all the best. The atmosphere is friendly, and that of a typical all American diner. Best place in Greensboro for a friendly breakfast, lunch or dinner. read more

The food at Jake's is alway good but this location has a legend who works here so you need to stop at this location to see her.

Been by this Jake's location a couple of times for breakfast, the food was great both times. The first time we had a new waitress and she had a few hiccups with our tables orders, but nothing major, the most recent visit the service was excellent as was my grilled tenderloin & fried liver puddin' breakfast with scrambled eggs and grits. read more

We anxiously awaited the opening of Jake's Diner and were tickled to see opening day come! However, after three visits on separate days and times, we were highly disappointed. Each visit had its' own problems but the bottom line is that the wait staff are unorganized and unfriendly, the food is ok at best, and the restrooms weren't updated in the renovations. We really wanted to like it... read more

This place has horrible customer service whatever you do don't eat here ... not only did I call on an order have to wait 30 mins after I paid to get food , it was cold , not correct. Not to mention the racial slurs that the staff threw around when they are white ... real class act ... eat here at own risk ... you've been warned .. read more

Prices do not match menu. When I brought this to the attention of both waiting staff they said tough luck go eat somewhere else. Best recommendation ever! read more

I moved to Greensboro a few weeks ago and I ate at this place today through DoorDash and I am still sitting here in shock about how great the food was. I'm sitting here rethinking my diet I was supposed to go on because sheesh!!! This place is really close to where I live and to have food that great and be so close to me is dangerous. Omg!! Lol. Oh and I also stopped in the middle of eating to call them and thank them for the quick service and great food. Thanks to the chef !!! I will most definitely be eating here numerous more times. I will also one day visit inside and sit and eat. read more
