Old school diner. What makes a great breakfast place?? Good coffee. For my meal I ordered a build your own omelette. It was huge. With a big portion of hashbrowns. Ask for the green salsa. Good kick. If you in South Bend. Check this place out. read more

I had to go back! This is a must while in South Bend, the homemade mango jelly was amazing. Like much of their menu, they are original recipes and creations. Add the friendly service by Brenda who makes you feel like family- all the staff do. Again a must treat while in SB read more

This diner has all the nostalgic vibes and the food to match. Our server knocked it out, keeping our coffee hot and delivering us with answers for all our questions both the town and diner. She warned that the pancakes were huge, and we were happily still somehow surprised at their size. Also, the jalapeño sausage...mmmmmm. read more

Skip this place. Not worth it. It's depressing. The food is well below average and everything is just blah. The server was friendly. Yelp you failed us on this one. The place was cold too. Nothing to recommend this place. read more

Came here to eat before we were going to tailgate before the Notre Dame game against NIU. Small diner with lots of bar seating and was very busy when we arrived, but it goes pretty quick and we were able to get seated fairly quickly. Staff was nice, attentive, knowledgeable and personable. Portions are decent for the price. We couldn't even eat it all, so we took it to go and they have nice specials, just ask! My husband got the Mexican skillet and the sauce had a kick to it that we didn't expect, but we enjoyed it very much. I got the typical all American breakfast that included eggs, hash browns, bacon, sausage links and French toast. In addition to a side of corned beef Hash that was also delicious. It was savory, with a hint of saltiness and the hashbrowns were cooked crispy. Not far from the stadium either. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area before a game, or any game. We also enjoyed that though it was small, it wasn't really loud in there and ambiance was pleasant. read more

Omelets were about an average grade. Not bad, not great. The small diner had a classic late 1960s - early 1970s feel. Staff was friendly. read more

Good breakfast food in a small friendly neighborhood diner. Teeny tiny place where it would best if you're an extrovert and not afraid of getting close to people you don't know as it is LITTLE! But the staff are all amazing and the coffee is delicious. I had the 3meat skillet topped with eggs...well-seasoned. My daughter had the chicken fried steak with country gravy and she CLEANED her plate! For her this was huge as she seldom eats everything on her plate... If you need a good home cooked breakfast while visiting south bend this would be a great choice read more

Jeannie's is a local gem, and everything you'd want in a small town diner. The folks are real nice, even if you're wearing the wrong school colors. It's a tiny place with limited seating and you may have to wait a while for your food because there is one, super hard working cook, BUT TRUST ME, it's all worth the wait. The pancakes are huge and perfectly cooked, and the portions are massive overall while the quality is still there. The prices are low, especially for the amount of food you get. We will come back if we ever find ourselves in South Bend/Mishawaka again! read more

I've had many pancakes in my life, and I can honestly say without a moments hesitation that the JEANNIE'S pancake is the greatest pancake in the world. You absolutely must try it. Not to mention friendly service, and an ambiance filled with character. Enjoy. read more

Great affordable little diner experience! Nothing over priced and all on the cheaper side while maintaining a solid quality, is it a Michelin star restaurant no BUT looking for a great quick bite that isn't just fast food this is a great spot! Sourdough and homemade jam is absolutely spot on not super sweet and you can tell it's made with care! My order was the country fried steak and as expected it was delicious and kept me going for the afternoon. Coffee was okay (better than McDonald's!) but with that in mind I must admit I am a bit of a coffee snob... so hard to really compare these days.. Waitresses was kind, polite, and witty she could hold her own against the older men and their banter while maintaining quality service! read more

Food was excellent service spot on. A very enjoyable experience. Last minute Sunday brunch for a couple out if owners was really good. Close parking a big bonus read more

Jeannie's makes me wish we lived nearby. We had a fabulous breakfast at this great local diner. The diner is small but the hospitality is HUGE. There are a few tables but there are plenty of counter seats. We sat at the counter and watched as our breakfasts were made to order while we chatted with the staff and other customers. Everyone here is super friendly. My husband ordered the ribeye and eggs I had the sampler (jalapeño sausage patty and homemade corned beef hash) with eggs, and my dad had and ham and cheese omelette. Each were served with made to order hash browns. We all opted for a side of grits instead of toast. The coffee was good and refills offered readily. We met a regular customer at the counter who was there with his young granddaughter who gave us advice for our trip and for our order. I also heard the the Irish football players come by for breakfast. We hope to return... read more

Excellent food - we stopped in for breakfast based on Yelp rating and were not disappointed! The Country Scrambler was great - as was the Skillet. Bacon was awesome...and great coffee. The service was great as well - very friendly, very attentive, and engaging. A great place - if I could give it more than 5 stars I would! read more

We were on our way home from Michigan and got hungry and decided to stop somewhere for breakfast. I went to yelp and as soon as I saw this was a diner atmosphere I was sold. I love that we could sit at a bar top and watch our food get prepared right in front of us. Portion sizes were HUGE and everything was amazing. Our server was phenomenal and so sweet. If we lived close by we would be here every weekend. read more

Exceptional service and good diner fare from the flattop make this a hidden jewel close to IUSB. We stopped in for a quick bite not knowing if we would even be seated at 930 on a Sunday. But...there was one table left for the two of us. Very clear they are short handed on staff and doing the best they can. We waited about 45 minutes for the food to arrive but it was fine. We weren't in a hurry and the pleasant nature of the table service made it all worthwhile. Breakfast was very generous and my stomach and wallet both left happy. Certainly would come back here if in the area. read more

I was in town and found this place thanks to Yelp. It's a local, family diner. It has some booths and a large counter. Service was prompt and friendly. We both ordered omelettes. Waitress offered homemade jam - strawberry rhubarb, peach or blueberry. That was so good to add to my homemade biscuit. Omelette and potatoes were also very good. Numerous coffee refills. I even bought some homemade cookies for $1 each to take with me. Highly recommended! read more

Weather conditions in South Bend required an early start to my workday. About two hours into my morning I was more than ready for breakfast. Visited Jeanies House Diner at Mishawaka and Twyckenham. A steaming cup of coffee took the edge off my morning grumpiness. I ordered two eggs, over easy, on top of a half order of biscuits and gravy. I was seated at the bar in front of the flat top, so I had a front row seat to the morning breakfast preparations. My plate was quickly delivered. As usual, it was piping hot. I devoured it much too quickly, but my ravenous appetite would mot let me slow down. The biscuit was light and flaky. The sausage gravy was quite tasty, and the dippy eggs just tied everything together. The food was great. Service was quick and responsive. My coffee cup never was less than half full with repeated warm ups. Its was a great way to kick start my morning. I will be back soon. read more

i've been going to's house for years. They had some of the best food and then they sold the restaurant. Of course the new owners made changes as new owners do. But the one thing they changed in people who didn't know how to cook and they gave them cheap ingredients. I went there yesterday for a simple order of biscuits and gravy and the biscuits were so hard. I had to use a knife to cut through them. They also don't know how to make scrambled eggs as you sit at the diner counter and the grill cook you'll notice he things up into little bitty pieces. The best advice I can give is not to go there because there are a lot of other places that are a lot better. read more

Great place. Try to stop there when we drive through. Fun watching them cook. Food was great. Make you feel at home and welcome.

Spot on service - waitress (and I think the owner) was super attentive, refilled coffee, and immediately noticed when she gave me my breakfast and it was missing something. The cook brought it to me immediately and I never even had to say a word. Filling and really great food. Everything is made right in front of you on a clean and well kept griddle. Made to order how ever you want to modify. read more

Everything you want from a breakfast place. The food is perfect diner breakfast! They cook it all on the flat-top right in front of you. The hash browns are crispy. The coffee is hot and refills are plentiful. The crowd is a mix of young and old. The chatter is ND football. Which didn't bother this wolverine fan at all given the wonderful food and friendly staff. Going forward it will be a must-stop every time I'm in SB read more

Wow. If you're a diner fan, don't miss this place. There's a few tables and booths, but the featured seating is the long counter spanning the width of the building. You never know who you'll be sitting next to, but on this Sunday morning it seems likely you'll be sitting next to a regular... judging by the greetings and friendly banter between them and the servers. Lots of fun to see. The menu has some nice specialty items. I had to have Spam and eggs, and a side of "Homemade Jalapeño Sausage." Awesome. My wife had a skillet "Full City" plus spinach and some other stuff. It was great too. A firefighter sitting next to us was tearing into a waffle topped with peaches and whipped cream. Coffee with their vanilla cream from little pitchers... it was just a great experience. Everyone -- from the wait staff to the patrons -- we're all friendly and fun. You really get the idea that this is a great neighborhood diner. One you should not miss. read more

This is a small place and when we pulled up we noticed how busy they were. (Great sign) The staff was fast, friendly and courteous. We had several questions which were answered courteously. Even though they were short staffed, the food was delivered quickly! Everything was made fresh; was great and priced right. Try the cinnamon rolls, made from scratch. Delighted with this place. read more

In town for a hockey tourney and read the good reviews for breakfast. Glad we went! Atmosphere was welcoming. Dawn and the rest of the ladies were fantastic. Food was delish.

Ate here for a late breakfast today. When we got there around 11, we realized they were really busy with no tables or seats open. We almost didn't wait but did, and we were so thankful that we did as 2 people got up fairly quickly from the counter stools. We were also thankful because the food was awesome! My wife had their special of the day, the Denver Bake and I had the Denver Omelet. While I wouldn't recommend the Denver with the Bleu Cheese (get the Swiss cheese instead), our meals were great and we'd go back and visit again in a heartbeat! The service was was great and it was fun watching them cook our meals right in front of us. Just try it! read more
