    Charming, feel-good diner with a very attentive staff and equally amazing food. The breakfast was served hot and perfectly flavored. There is nothing better than diner coffee! We are from PA and felt like we were old neighbors that have been a part of the scene forever. New and old businesses should take note of what Jefferson Diner is offering to their patrons. We will be back !

    Not worth the price. atmosphere is uncomfortable.menu is limited ,no all day breakfast, it's not that difficult to make an omelette or eggs and bacon.

    Where else but in Jefferson, Ohio, can you get a yummy meatloaf sandwich on homemade bread for $4.50? Or a freshly made hamburger and chips for $3.50? Yes, this is the place that time forgot. It's still 1950, and the Jefferson Diner, a quonset hut relic from that era, hasn't changed a bit since then. On the wood paneled dining room walls are photos of 4-H champions, local sports stars, teenagers and their muscle cars, spanning the last half century. During my most recent visit, I opted for the lunch special, a grilled cheese sandwich with homemade sourdough bread, and homemade Italian wedding soup. If was the best lunch I've had in a long time! I love this place!

    The Farmer Butcher Chef Steakhouse - Glazed brussell sprouts with too much sauce

    I came around 4:30pm and was the only one here. The waiter was the best part of my experience, he…read morewas so sweet and always checking in. The kitchen staff was obnoxiously loud, which with an empty dining room was blatantly disruptive. As far as the food, it was okay, the steak had a great flavor and was cooked medium rare just as asked. They gave me a healthy portion of sautéed mushrooms and onions, and the broccolini was lovely. I ordered the Parmesan truffle fries but they lacked any real flavor and, rather, were under-salted. I decided to try an appetizer of cornbread and honey with butter.. but I wish I had skipped it. The cornbread is dry, there is no corn in it (which for me is a negative but some might like that) and the flavor didn't impress me. Overall, it's a very expensive place to eat to not really enjoy your meal. I would suggest if you want a good steak head over to Sammy K's instead.. you'll cut your bill in half and leave satisfied.

    I was excited to come here. Came inside and became…read moreinstantly confused. They have a conflicting theme when you enter Asian decor. Like a massive lucky cat and cherry blossom trees that lit up. Asian dragons on the counter and shelves. They were cute but didnt carry thruout the restaurant and Infouns that kind of confusing. But then there's a massive old photo of George Washington along with an oddly placed refrigerator that has big cuts of meat. There's just so much going on in the lobby that didn't tie together. Tbo, kind of gave me a little anxiety. The service was really nice. Every staff member that I met was welcoming and nice friendly -zero complaints. My food was ready a few minutes after I had arrived. I had ordered a size brussels sprouts and a side of pierogi. Brussels sprouts had the most potential they gave a lot of brussels sprouts, which were cooked perfectly and we're generous with everything they put on top of it... But that's where the problem was... on menu it read, "balsamic drizzled" Hmmm... Drizzled. These are more like brussels sprout balsamic soup. If it wasn't a takeout order, I would've sent them back. Wowzers, were they were swimming in the sauce. It wasn't that the sauce wasn't good. There was just far too much of it. made it un enjoyable. I didn't finish it If I could make a culinary suggestion to the restaurant, I would reword the description and iwn up to they are in a balsamic sauce and not call it a drizzle because there is nothing drizzled about this. I would not have ordered it if I knew it was in a balsamic sauce The pierogi... I was flat out, disappointed by this This says it was pan seared. I'm skeptical about this menu description. These look like they were flash fried. Either in the deep fryer, an air fryer or worse microwaved. I don't cook in the microwave so I really don't know what they would look like in the microwave But I do know what pan sear pierogi (we make homemade ones all the time) look like and these didn't look like that but they definitely did not appear to have any sign of being seared. Rat. They were tough and chewy on the outside with no buttery flavor that a pan seared item would have. I would not order this again. Inside of the pierogi tasted fine and the toppings the bacon and onions were plentiful, flavorful and we're done really nicely So- All I ate fully was the pierogi toppings. So for 43.10 (includes a tip) i had the MOST expensive dinner that consisted of a side of bacon and onions. As that is all that i felt was enjoyable and worth eating.

There were some people at 6:00p not slammed but enough people. So it seemed encouraging. Lots of TV's and booths plus tables. Better inside than outside. There were 3 of us and we all got different things. I got the Greek chicken wrap with chips. The wrap was ok. Kinda dry. Didn't taste the dill spread really. The chips were good. They are like fair chips that come in a twist. Really thin and crispy. Another person got the steak wrap with salad. The salad dressing was a bit vinegary. The wrap was ok too. Next person got the margarita flat bread and wings. Wings weren't good I am told. Not big and sauce was not even coating the wing. The flatbread had a balsamic glaze and that made the flatbread very soggy. So she was not impressed at all. Service was ok. Prices were ok too. Lots of people so they might have something else good we did not get. Parking lot was rocks but plenty of parking. Probably not a return. Not sure we got the best experience. Food was mediocre at best.

    Can you say "perfect eggs"? Holy smoke... I've had perfect eggs. I don't know what kind of sorcery…read morethis is- but I am in shock, and heaven. I do eggs over easy- and when you do this- you may get runny, or overcooked or a myriad of different hmmmmm moments. I ordered a basic breakfast, just eggs, bacon and toast. I had 4 pieces of scrumptious bacon, and the sweet server brought me a little side of sausage gravy- also to die for! Reasonably priced and there are many regulars here since many people were greeted as old friends. The building is off a main drag in Ashtabula, so hidden- and clearly--- these folks are here for food and family! I'm just here to find a perfect breakfast spot- and boy oh boy, did I ever! The only thing I'm missing is a small cot or couch to sleep in after having that awesome gravy- I'm sort of in a gravy coma right now- lol! If you're a little breakfast foodie you're in for a HUGE treat! The atmosphere is bustling and friendly, but not over the top trendy, like having a picnic with friends. You're here for this absolutely over the top food!!! I just hope the regulars don't run me out of here because I mentioned their little hidden Ashtabula gem... A must not miss. 10 stars for nothing less than EPIC food and stellar, quick, friendly service! Good news I won't forget the name!!

Everyone is friendly knows each other and good ol homemade country cookin. Now back to Aunt Judy's. Their steak and eggs were ammmazing recommended by his niece.
