    The last cinnamon roll of the day.
    Kathryn Y.

    Dang it. I really love this place. It is a truly spectacular brunch spot. And a favorite after hike brunch spot for me and my girls. Thus, the photo with four mimosas. And really friendly service each time I have been here. To be honest I have only been here twice, but it feels like I have been here forever it is that kind of comfortable spot. A locals vibe and such yummy food. We ordered the last cinnamon roll of the morning. Yes, they run out of them on the weekends. The servings are super huge so on this visit I ordered off the "light" menu. The light Kathleen I believe which was two poached eggs, not three served with a regular size of hash browns, the yummy cheese sauce and cheese. I always want bacon when I eat out, so I ordered a side of bacon. Now I have enough food for dinner too. Just yummy and comforting food. On Saturday and Sunday mimosas and bloody mary's are $5. The mimosas come in flavors of OJ, Cranberry, pineapple, and grapefruit. They have other specials and the bar area is so fun. This a spot that is so fun. Great for a girls brunch. Parking can be tricky and just be careful. Enjoy your life! Eat brunch and share a cinnamon roll with good friends.

    This restaurant was packed on Sunday around 12:00. The parking lot was so full that we almost left. But we saw a family leave and took their spot. We got seated fairly quickly but it's a tight squeeze in there. The servers were super friendly. I ordered a California Scramble with bacon. I was hoping that it came with salsa and sour cream like how I'm used to the dish in other breakfast restaurants but it didn't. The hash browns were soft and flakey. The eggs Benedict were quite delicious. Both dishes were good but nothing memorable.

    Jay Berry's is a stable for breakfast for anyone in the Renton highlands area. I've taken many people to get breakfast here- you can always count on super friendly service with coffee refill after coffee refill and so on. My go to has to be the chicken fried steak smothered with gravy and crispy hashbrowns - I always go with the biscuit. It is a cozy and comfortable diner where you can always expect a good time .

    My husband and I were looking for a brunch spot in the area and came across this place. We hadn't tried it before, but some friends had mentioned they'd been wanting to check it out too, so we decided to give it a go. I'll be honest--the service felt a bit odd when we first walked in. We were told we could wait a while to get seated at the dinning area or that we could seat ourselves at the bar. Since it was our first time, I wasn't sure if that meant the actual bar counter or tables in the bar area. When I asked for clarification, there was a bit of an awkward pause before someone finally explained we could sit at a table in the bar section. That said, once we got settled, the experience improved. The server who took care of us was very kind and attentive. I ordered my usual go-to at breakfast spots: chicken fried steak with a biscuit. It was really good--definitely hearty and comforting without being overly greasy. That said, it is a heavy meal (fried food plus gravy), so be prepared for a post-brunch nap. The biscuit looked a little underwhelming at first, but it actually tasted great. The overall vibe of the place is very much a local dive bar feel, and the service style matches that. As long as you go in with the right expectations, it makes for an enjoyable, laid-back brunch. Also worth noting--there's a decent amount of parking in the back, which is always a plus. Overall, a solid spot for a casual, no-frills brunch.

    Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the wait. My poached eggs were overcooked, and the Jose Special was very dry. After we left, my friends and I all agreed the food was just... mid. Not bad, but definitely not anything memorable or worth such a long wait. I don't quite understand why there's consistently such a crowd if the food isn't anything out of the ordinary. On the positive side, the tea selection was solid, and the prices were very reasonable, which is always a plus. Overall, great service and fair pricing, but the food didn't match the hype or the wait time.

    Loved!! Wow we visited Seattle and looked at places for bfast right after getting our rental. Jay berrys came up and it def did not disappoint!! It was so good!! And packed! It's def that local spot and we love that we dined in here. The menu is huge and I still regret not getting their cinnamon rolls. Ahh! Excited to be back when we visit again!!

    Dinner with Jay Berry's owner Semo!!

    If you are looking for that out of the way spot, that is also everyone's hangout, this is your spot. Along with a vibrant sports bar (complete with divey feel) is their restaurant with full menu items. Don't forget their Saturday night prime rib evenings. And as an added bonus... they make some of the most excellent pizza in this part of unincorporated King County (closest to Renton that is). There is both sit down down restaurant area, as well as the locally famous bar. Is it divey? Absolutely!! Come for the drinks, the food and your friends. And a very friendly, veteran staff. Stop on by for your favorite drink, and your favorite meal!

    This was my first time trying this place and it's good. I went on Saturday so it's very busy, but there are bar seatings so didn't wait long. The price is decent and the amount of food is definitely enough. The service is good too. It's a very local American restaurant for breakfast.

    Drinks!!!

    Retro but very cool! Food still doesn't appoint! I mean where can you get a full Prime Dinner with a choice of soup, salad or FULLY loaded baked potato on SAT Night (only)! Holy Moly! The Berry Burger my wife tried was good. Sweet potato fries had good flavor. Pizza's are great! Friday nights is alway CLAM CHOWDER NIGHT! Service is fantastic! Michelle always Greets us with a smile. Friendly overall staff. The ambiance is a "Feel Good Feeling"! Like Bing home without the family drama! Overall, always passed this place on my work when moved to Renton, but now it is one of favorite places to go for. Clam chowder fix on a FRI. A nice prime rib steak on (only ) SAT! And everyday other day just some good food! So get some!

    While in the area, we stopped by for a quick bite but ended up being there much longer. We were greeted and seated right away even though the place was already packed. The service and quality of food was on point, not to mention their $5 Bloody Mary drinks were perfect. Definitely coming back!

    Came here again for breakfast around 9am Tuesday morning. It easy busy at all! We were able to find parking easily as well as get seated immediately. Service was quick and staff was very kind. Food was delicious!! They give pretty decent portions for a very fair price (our food plus a hot chocolate and coffee was $45 in total). Definitely recommend coming here for that dinner breakfast experience.

    Fish and Chips. Comes with a medium sized salad.

    Went back to Jay's today. Haven't been for awhile. Still great, friendly service and very attentive. Ordered the fish and chips. Plenty on the plate for $19.99 and to comes with a fairly large salad! My husband ordered the club sandwich and he said it very perfect. We did ordered their homemade apple pie. Review pending on it because we had it "to go".

    This review is for our visit on November 6th 2025 @ around 8:40 pm. This wasn't our first time at Jay Berries it's actually become one of our favorite spots to visit for breakfast after church on Sundays. We've been there quite a few times, so we already knew we loved it... but this visit reminded us why we keep coming back. We arrived pretty close to closing time, and even then, they greeted us with genuine kindness and were more than happy to seat us. That alone meant a lot, especially since not many places nearby stay open late and we were very hungry. Unlike the busy Sunday mornings we're used to, seating was quick and easy this time with no wait at all, which was a nice change of pace. For dinner, I ordered the steak cooked rare, my son got a burger and fries, and we shared the calamari. The steak truly stood out. It was cooked exactly the way I like it. perfectly rare with a beautiful, tender center. What I appreciated most was the seasoning. It was thoughtfully done: flavorful enough to enhance the meat, but not so heavy that it overpowered the natural taste of the steak itself. You could still taste the quality of the meat, which is something I always look for. Honestly, it gave steakhouse quality without the steakhouse price, which made it even better. I paired it with a side of broccoli... simple, fresh, and exactly what you'd expect. No complaints there. My son absolutely enjoyed his burger. It was big, juicy, and clearly made with care. The patty was well-seasoned, giving it a rich, savory flavor in every bite, and the toppings were fresh and crisp, adding a nice balance and texture. You could tell it wasn't just thrown together it was thoughtfully prepared. And of course, the fries were a hit golden, satisfying, and hard not to love. The calamari was the only dish that didn't quite match the rest for me personally. It was a bit more heavily seasoned than I prefer, especially with the breading. That said, the dipping sauce it came with was delicious smooth, flavorful, and it really helped balance things out when paired together. My son actually really enjoyed the calamari as-is, so it may just come down to personal taste. Overall, this is a place we genuinely love. The people are consistently kind, welcoming, and attentive, and there's a warmth here that makes you feel comfortable the moment you walk in. It really does have that "home away from home" feeling especially during breakfast hours. There's something about their breakfast menu that just feels comforting and made with love... you can truly taste it. The portion sizes are always generous, and the prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality and amount of food you receive. That combination is hard to find. While the only downside is the longer wait times on weekend mornings (which honestly just speaks to how good they are), they do offer takeout, which is a great option. This definitely won't be our last visit we'll keep coming back again and again. Highly recommend giving them a try!

Located in the very busy strip mall, along Bronson Way you'll see their large sign welcoming you in. If the name brand seems familiar, Pizza Dudes has a sister company, Taco Dudes - located in south at Renton Village. Owner, Yovani Hernandez along with his family, partners and hard working staff bring pride to the work of pizza making in the town. A welcome, well known and respected providers among the connoisseurs of this Italian inspired dish! For me, I was the last customer. I walked into a small ordering foyer. But don't let looks fool you. The place is packed with character, efficiency, and plenty of dining choices. Tonight, Hawaiian was my preferred choice of the evening. Voila, 18 minutes later, a hot amd fresh pie was ready. I was definitely a happy customer. Like all things for this quintessential food, your personal choice will vary. But walk up and ask if they'll make what you want. More than likely, its there - and with a little less ceremony than with national chains. Just one point, Pizza Dudes is not open at late night hours and closes at 9pm. But they do deliver! Of course they do!! Besides pizza for their other offerings as well as specials. Will I come back? Absolutely!! It's Pizza Dudes!!!
