    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Sausage Dog - not really a keeper.

The coffee was hot and constantly refilled, the portions were generous, and the service was friendly in a laid-back environment. I have a hard time resisting traditional eggs Benedict, so that is what I ordered. My partner had the pork loin with eggs and a side of grits. Neither of us was disappointed.

The waiter was very polite and friendly, he made sure we had what we needed and answered any questions we had about the menu and food choices. The food was delicious! My niece and cousin had the pancake, they were the size of the plate and quite tasty! My other niece had the crab cake sandwich, she said it was good but the fruit was plated on the same plate so it was warm which was not appealing to her so she didn't eat it. I had the French toast platter with the fried chicken. The French toast was pretty good but the bread used was pretty flat but it was tasty and the chicken was overcooked, there was some black spots from being fried too long. The hit at our table was the cheesy grits, very cheesy and flavorful. We'd definitely go back to try other things on the very extensive menu!!

I watched you cater to 3 other tables and pretty much ignore us. To be fair, I've eaten at Jake's on Wendover a few times. I knew the type of food. It's always been excellent. We arrive. The white lady with the high pony tail says "sit anywhere that's clean. Cool. Didn't get her name. I will call her P. All the small booths on the perimeter were full. We take the large booth in the back corner. The tables in the center were six tops. That booth wasn't clean clean. 50-11 crumbs in the chair. I wipe them off. We wait. No menus brought. One of the expediters walks by. Didn't even stop . A four top arrives. P is at their table in 2.5 seconds with menus and cutlery. Well dayum. Why don't we have anything? We see our waitress waiting on the table next to us. She takes the orders of the two older gentlemen making small talk even. No worries. What she did next should have told me how this whole experience was going to go. She brought the menus from their table to our table. Ummmmm, I don't know what cruds they could have had. Then asked what we wanted to drink. Ma'am! We just got menus. She returns with our water. Asks if we are ready to order. Ma'am' we just got these menus. We place our orders. I ask her name. Like you rolled up on us and didn't even introduce yourself. Jasmine takes our order. Food comes out faster than expected. Great! That's where it begins to go downhill. Jasmine never brought cutlery to our table. We had to ask and wait longer than I think it should have taken. Mind you I saw how P was working her table. Jasmine checked on the gentlemen several times. A family sat at a table on the other side of them. She was speedy with their service. More on that later. The gentlemen leave. Mind you Jasmine hasn't come back to our table at all. Wait once after we got all our food. That's how we go cutlery. I've drank my glass of Diet Pepsi. Would be nice to get a refill. She comes back with a wet rag to wipe off the table where the gentleman sat THEN asks if we need anything. I ask for a Diet Pepsi refill. Bae is in the bathroom and I let her know that he wasn't satisfied with his meal. She just looked like "oh, okay". No server should ever want to hear this. We did not ask for a manager. Meanwhile across the restaurant P has already served and turned that four top. Recall they were sat after us. As I continued to look around other tables were getting soda refills. AND I saw piping hot food delivered. Bae's eggs weren't piping hot. I mean "steam" was coming off these other plates. Bae came back to the table as I was telling Jasmine he wasn't happy with his food. We went there for French toast. He ate one piece. Half his eggs and half his potatoes. He asked for the check. This is after I'd asked for my refill. So I asked again. Jasmine brings out all the food for that family's table. She even brings. An extra plate. Looks over and must have remembered our requests. In the time she went to get an extra plate I could have had a soda refill which I really wanted to drink my soda in the restaurant as I finished my meal. She instead brings it in a to go cup. Fine but had she been more attentive I would have had a refill at the table. Enough about the mid level service. In case you're wondering Bae did tip her 15%. His food did not arrive piping hot. I didn't get a refill. We had to ask for cutlery and watch everyone else around us get better service even those in our section. No, the restaurant wasn't packed but patrons steadily flowed in. We shouldn't have been there for as long as we were. The food? Not terrible except the meat to bread ratio in the patty melt (see photo). Thin party. It was very tasty. I enjoy a good patty melt don't expect the meat to be that thin. The grits? Ouch! Not a lick of salt in the cooking liquid. If you do have salt in the water, please double it. Once I added salt they tasted fine. Bae didn't complain about the coffee so I will say that was fine. Bae says we're not going back to this location. Which is disappointing since it's a short drive and one of few places that serves regular degular French toast. I knew Jake's on Wendover and Downtown would be packed due to GHOE. The Battleground location was busy and getting overflow from the place up the street from them where we went first so we didn't stop there. As we were leaving Jasmine was already talking to the new patrons at the table where those gentleman were sitting. They hadn't been there two minutes whereas we easily waited five minutes before being acknowledged. I'm not saying don't go to Jake's. By all means give them a shot. They have been a Greensboro staple for decades! Our experience this time was less than 4 stars. That's all.
