I stopped in for breakfast as I was craving shredded hash browns. I ordered the breakfast special, two pork sausages , two eggs toast and shredded hash browns. The waitress was very friendly. When I got my food the sausages were not very good. The hash browns tasted like were cooked the day before and reheated several times as they were hard, rubbery and gross and I did not finish eating them. I ordered soft poached eggs and these were a little to soft. Maybe my fault for not clarifying what soft meant but this is how I order from other restaurants, lots of yoke, no white slime. I was almost finished eating my toast when the waitress finally came with my first and only coffee refill and asked how it was. I told her , "Not very good" and told her the hash browns were gross. She offered to replace them but I said no . She did take the price of the coffee off of the meal to make up for it. She again offered to give me cubed hash browns to go but again I said no, as I just did not feel like eating cold hash browns when I arrived to work. I used to eat here a long time ago and think I even posted a good review but after this I think I will eat elsewhere. read more

Made a reservation 24hrs ahead for Father's Day. When I arrived with my family they had not set up a table for us. Had to wander through the restaurant looking for a suitable table. Service was horrible. Food was horrible --eggs all cooked wrong everything tasted of old grease. When called and spoke to manager would consent to return the amount of bill with a paper copy of bill which I did not have. Then I got hung up on. Have been going to this restaurant regularly for 25 years but no more. There was no social distancing in place so I would stay clear of this restaurant for the foreseeable future. read more

This restaurant is awful, the decor is a mix of 'Eww, how long has this been here?' and 'Did they get that from the Ikea dumpster?'. The service was alright, that was the best thing I had to say about the place. The food is unknown, and I mean that as 'I have no idea what I ate.' My burger slid out of the bun...and my onion rings tasted like popcorn. Yuck. I am getting nausea's thinking about this meal. read more

JB's is old school - a great little diner with cheap prices, great food, big portions and very friendly older waitresses. I've only ever had breakfast here and haven't been disappointed. Ask the waitress about the specials, they usually have some sort of massive breakfast boat that is of pretty good value. The only complaint I have is their sausages aren't great. Go for the bacon instead. read more

I make a point of stopping at JBs when I'm in the area. I have always liked the atmosphere, and love my bacon and eggs there. I went there yesterday, between appointments. When I first entered they had liver and onions on for the days special ( or so I thought). I was torn between my bacon and eggs, and the liver, as I really like both.I decided on the liver, simply because it has been some time since I've had it. I got my food. It was a huge portion, for sure. I ate about half my meal. It was about 10 minutes after eating that I got this really painful stomach ache and ended up having to run to the washroom more than once, and it wasn't to comb my hair so to speak. I informed the waitress of my situation, explaining that there was a problem with the liver. Response was, oh no , I don't think so. She continued to serve everyone who entered the restaurant, not bothering to consult with the cook or the manager, on my complaint. I paid my bill, left. NO TIP. I kept the left over liver, and am seriously thinking of having it tested. I may also file a complaint with the health and safety food board. I have been a long time fan of JBs, and don't make a fuss over little things. To be treated so disrespectfully is disgusting. The restaurant has lost a long time customer, and I will never recommend them to anyone. I WILL share this experience with people. Oh yeah. I was charged 16 dollars and some cents for a meal that was on the daily special board, for 10 dollars. read more

They use to have the best poutine. They've change their flavours a bit. Not as good. I've been going there for years. The older ladies that serve me, seem racist. I tip, I'm patient. But every time I come in they'll check the drinks at other tables before mine. They will walk right past me. I often have to get up and ask for drinks, my bills, and containers. Now that they've changed the food. I really have no reason to eat here read more

This place was actually quite good! It was clean. It was pretty busy. We like busy...means the food turns over quick! We had breakfast here and it was as good as the big "D"" as far as quality, if not better. One thing we REALLY liked about this place was the fact they put a whole carafe of coffee on your table. No waiting for the waitress to come by and refill it. Definite plus, and the coffee is good! Food was great, too. Home made and very generous. Only downside was we had to wait for the bill for about 15 minutes after we were done. Other than that, it is a great place for a good breakfast! read more

Jaybee's is a family owned business in our neighbourhood, it is our favourite place to eat anytime of the day! Friendly staff, good food, and a comfy atmosphere! They are also on Skip the Dishes ! We recommend this place to anyone ! The Crispy French Toast and The Canadian Burger are my personal favourites! The current Christmas decorations are beautiful! read more

See all

All in all a mostly pleasant experience. Lost a star because due to the age of the building and open door to the patio I had to flick a couple of ants off of the booth seats. Food was surprising actually. I'm a sicker for a good clubhouse sandwich and this place delivered. Turkey was real not processed slices and nice and juicy. Bacon well cooked and crispy, not under done. Nice thick layer of ham. Real cheese on it. The fries were fries. Nothing super special there but crispy and hot on the plate. Good service and decently priced as well. I'd go back. read more

Not a bad place to come for breakfast. Fast service, food was good and cheap. Haven't had lunch or dinner so I can't comment on what they have on there menu. read more

Really enjoy jbs. Great food. Decent prices. Thursday all you can eat pasta night with things like baked lasagna. The place has a great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Check this place out read more

My son and I have been eating out lately....for Nachos and more Nachos. Went to JB's to check it out....Nacho's were nicely served up....excellent toppings....cheese nicely distributed over the Nacho's....nice sides...and no charge if you needed a little more....plenty of Nacho's to share...nice presentation! Excellent service...pleasant staff! And the coffee...kept hot and ready at your table...nice! read more

We've been going here for years. Breakfast is always fantastic, tastes home cooked like mom's. Prices are very good. Get there early on weekends to get a table, they fill up fast! read more

I would drive from a far to dine here, it was so worth it. Staff very friendly, price is great, baked spaghetti is AWESOME.

Yuck! I went there Sunday with mu daughter hoping to make that our Sunday spot but boy do i regret going there.... Server was nice but that is about all that was good there. I got montecristo sandwich with huge chunks of lettuce with bottle dressing wich was drenched in dressing and super cheap crutons.... Sandwich tasted gross . My child got bacon/eggs and some super nasty thick pancakes.... We took it all to go cause we could not eat this garbage.... We threw it out fist garbage can outside. I don't know where most of these people have ate before but the 4 and 5 star ratings are not accurate at all. I regret wasting my money there. Needless to say i would not go back and I definitely Do Not Recommend! read more

friendly service but mouldy burger bun. frozen packaged fries and patties. kitchen staff rude to waitressing staff when she sent my order back. reviewed them on facebook and the owners contacted me on there to offer a free meal, but i never got around to taking them up on it. read more

I never venture to the northeast side of the city, but recently a friend and I found ourselves in the Old Town Beverly. We noticed Jay-Bee's and decided to come back for breakfast the following Saturday. We were pleasantly surprised. It has a sort of old school diner feel, and the decor is pretty nice. I was happy to see turkey bacon on the menu. I don't often find that. The service was good, the food was good, and the prices were fair. Can't wait to go back again. read more

Love their breakfasts, I eat there about once a week. In my experience their lunches aren't as good

I have been to this restaurant twice with the first time being great where I would have rated it a four, but the second time was lacking in service and food quality and would have received a two, so I have split the difference. Breakfast was great and I loved that we had a carafe of coffee on the table, but when we came back for dinner on a different day, the waitress seemed disinterested. When I asked for salad instead of fries (an option that is available on the menu) she brought me a side salad that I was charged extra for with fries on my plate. She said that she would fix it on the bill but when the bill arrived the charge was still there. I asked for Italian salad dressing and she brought me thousand island dressing and insisted it was Italian, until a different waitress stopped her and got the dressing that I had asked for. The salad itself had brown lettuce in it and was less than fresh. This is quite a distance from my home, but we may go back - for breakfast. read more

I don't think I've ever given a 1 star but the star is for the place being really nice and roomy on the inside and it has a nice vibe and it has good potential. I'm struggling to think of anything else good but I can't add anything to the positive list :( We went here yesterday for breakfast. I have never been to a breakfast place where they didn't serve fruit with the meal, even in third world countries this is customary. And so you'd think the prices would reflect that but for my husband and I and 2 kids meals it came to $45 with tax and tip. I could have gone somewhere nice for that price. The food was all beige and my husband and I had a tummy ache when we left there. Unfortunately we got a seemly tired/uninteresting waitress. When my husband told her it was our first time there (to make conversation) she was like Oh. I heard others that were really friendly all around, maybe she just had an off day BUT she has THE longest nose hairs I have ever seen on a woman. I know that sounds mean and when I mentioned it to me husband (in private later on I wouldn't want my kids to hear) he said he didn't notice. We went since the reviews were pretty good but I was very disappointed in the place. I had to make a make-up breakfast for my family today WITH fruit! I'm sorry to say I don't know where all these good reviews are coming from. The food was bland and it didn't even look appealing, no presentation or effort. I think the reason I'm so disappointed is that Beverly area is where I grew up and I was really hoping to give this place a good review, I've passed this place 1000 times and by the reviews decided to go in but it was a total let down. Hopefully owners read people's reviews as a way of improving service, just because the place is in a ghetto area doesn't mean people deserve food/service without effort. read more

Definitely old decor, but the food is decent and reasonably price. Hit or miss with 'friendly' service but generally you get what you ask for - just not with a smile. read more

Well, after ~ 35 years attending this restaurant with children and now grandchildren , I'm done! The food has gone downhill with prices rising exponentially. The cooks don't scramble the eggs but place them on the grill and cook them flat like a plain omelette.When I tried to send them back I was told " That's the way they scramble eggs" If you want tomatoes instead of the greasy hash browns , there's a charge . Even turkey bacon is greasy!Buttered toast is hit and miss . Often, it's a little dollop of butter in the centre with the rest of it dry. If you send it back , the next offering is so overloaded the butter drips though. Today the pancakes were very small but not dollar pancakes . When asked the response from the cooks was they were told to do that. I left hungry and usually can't finish them. Our impression is the cooks rule the roost , the servers bear the brunt of the complaints and the owner gives you the answers you want but doesn't control the cooks . The decor has been updated and is ok but the bathroom doors have cowgirls and cowboys on them yet the servers wear long sleeve shirts , ties and vests . The owner doesn't appear to have decided on his theme . Overall, sorry to say goodbye but enough is enough . Will treasure the good memories . read more

Have been driving by this place for years, what a mistake. Decided to stop in for breakfast, fantastic! Nice restaurant, feels like a small town shop. Clean and yet old school feel. Had the bacon, sausage and eggs, just terrific. Dinner is next, so glad there is a good place in Beverly. read more

This place is one of my favourite. Atmosphere is very welcoming. The ladies work very hard to attend to your needs. JB's will do their best to make sure your are happy. If you are a good eater, you will really enjoy it here. You definitely get more for your money. Another great reason is the coffee! I don't know of anywhere else that gives you endless coffee without hesitation! Its always hot and right in front of you in your own thermal container (not to take home). Manager (Sam) is working hard to get more TVs installed for the customers and some background music also. I hope it won't be too loud with the music because I do enjoy visiting family and friends here. I do recommend trying it out...you will not be disappointed. I know (read) other complaints about the prices...please let me know when you find another establishment that is comfy and food is free and good! read more

I have been a customer of JB's for over 6 years. Today, my husband and I went for breakfast. Our hashbrowns were raw. I waited and waited for the waitress to come by our table so that I could let her know that part of my breakfast was raw. When she finally arrived 20 minutes later, she immediately started to try and clear the table and just give us our bill. I told her that my hashbrowns were raw. She immediately got defensive and said "Well that's they way they serve them here." She also mentioned that she would not go anything about it. Well, I have been going to JB's for over 6 years and they do not normally serve raw hashbrowns. Based on the poor service we received today and the raw food we were served, I will not be coming back. read more
