I have tried many different menu items here over the years. This is a great place for the usual American fare that you find in any cafe. The service can range from stellar to frustrating depending on the day and time you visit. Most of the time it's great but there have been a couple times where it's slow. All of the staff is friendly and helpful. I love the new decor. read more

My son and I enjoy searching for little spots like this, and it was wonderful! The service was great everyone was super nice and attentive! But the food was great and especially the price! $17 for 1 pancake, French toast, 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausage, ham and hash browns! I asked for extra crispy hash browns and they delivered I asked for a substitution of one pancake for a French toast and they accommodated because I never know what I want lol. My son got the eggs Benedict and I couldn't even get a picture before he was devouring them! His eggs perfectly poached with a runny creamy yolk! The sauce was so delicious, I will definitely get those next time I come into this town. For 2 of us it was $41+tip. I also seen some great dessert options too but we were too full to order more! read more

This place never disappoints me. Delicious food at a reasonable price. The service was great, no waiting on a Friday morning for breakfast. The ambiance was quiet even though it's an open place where you can see all the tables. They do have an enclosed banquet room which can be reserved for a meeting/large gathering. My guess is it has the capacity for 30 people. read more

I have going to Jenny Lynn's since the new owner opened it. The food has always been on point and plated nicely. The servers have always been super nice and check in frequently to see if you need anything. It is one of my go to places here in town. The owner Jose comes out in the dining room to welcome customers in and see if they are happy with their meal. The ambiance is light and sunny which makes your dining experience pleasant. Great place. read more

Amazing food and amazing customer service. I always enjoy a food trip to Jenny Lynn's cafe

What the heck!!! My sister has been talking about this restaurant since I moved back to Tulare County from San Diego. I love diners and when my friend from Bakersfield wanted to treat me to lunch last week, I suggested Jenny Lynn's. We were the only ones there (which should change big time after reading this review). I used to BBQ some rib eye steaks before I retired five years ago. Medium Rare. Perfectly cooked. My sister came over and cooked a rib eye last month that she bought but I should have known better as she likes her steak Medium to Medium Well. Overcooked it and I was internally disappointed. Jenny Lynn's was to be the best choice I made. I ordered a rib eye steak MEDIUM RARE, MEDIUM RARE. Said it two or three times to make sure. Found out that Jose the chef likes his steak Medium Rare. Promising. (I'll get to the humongous side portions in a minute). I kept getting asked for my choice of side portions that came with my steak and even turned down a couple so I could enjoy my steak. As the dish landed on my table in front of me, I could instantly tell that my steak was cooked perfectly. I was ecstatic. I took a bite and it melted in my mouth. There is a God. Let me explain the enormous amount of side dishes. Firstly, the salad in and of itself was large and so delicious. So fresh. The ranch dressing was fantastic and I got a side of bacon green beans yum and the toasted bread was great. I am using run-on sentences since my experience was like being home 50 years ago and mom and dad are BBQing all kinds of meat outside. My friend ordered the patty melt and sweet potato fries. I couldn't believe she ate everything. She's a tiny thing and I've never seen her clean her plate. I won't have to have another overcooked steak again!!! Life is great. Take your non-vegetarian friend (JK) for a terrific steak dinner. I could have also had mashed potatoes, fries, and so many other sides she mentioned but I was centering all my attention on my steak. I even had leftovers that were just as delicious! On the way out I spotted delicious pies and desserts in a glass covered tray handled by Veronica if I'm not mistaken. Next time I'll try to leave room for dessert. Head on over to Jenny Lynn's soon to have some of the best home cooked meals ever. I'll try a cheeseburger next time. You won't be disappointed and prices are fair and your portion sizes are huge. read more

I am speechless !!! Beyond my taste buds of an experience, the chicken penne pasta salad is one of the best salads I ever had! I couldn't get a picture of the delicious desserts I had but I had a slice of carrot cake as well as the orange cream cake and let me just say WOW!!!! My waitress Genesis was sweet and attentive with everything I needed! The restaurant was very warm, roomy, and welcoming. If I didn't live 45 minutes away, that would be my go-to!!! read more

Got served today by this rude waiter named genisis, asked for a refill which took way longer than usual and it seemed like she was in a bad mood. Food was alright but the waitress was slow. This is my second time being here and the first time the waitress was amazing and had a good personality. read more

Excellent service, good food (salsa is delicious) my breakfast was just perfect. Clean place. Highly recommended.

The atmosphere was horrible when first walking in. An older lady took our order and was very impatient. When ordering our meal we were snapped at and rushed. They seem to be picking on and saying hostile comments towards her. When I asked to speak to the owner to let her know about the service she shrugged it off and said we're stressed. To say the least it was a horrible experience and I will not be dinning there anymore. read more

The quality of the food is poor. When I ordered roasted turkey it was just processed meat

Good food, would go more often except it's on the far side of town from me. Good good good breakfast service is excellent.

This place isn't even open. Why have you not Yo dated your system for this area? That makes two places we have driven out to.

As predicted seven months ago by me, this place from what I hear is going out of business. As being the only one star reviewer here I can say I am glad. Hopefully someone passionate about food and people take over and change this place. read more

This place sucks and is disgusting. The old man in the back cooking was licking his fingers while he was cooking and drinking a bud light. The service was trash. The food was mediocre at best. It's a cute little place and it's open for few hours. read more

First visit.. Yikes! Thw older woman is rude. We placed our order, and my husband asked for sausage and received bacon. He let the nice waitress know. She comes back with a plate and apologizes, but the chef wants the bacon back. She told him he could use his fingers to put it on the plate. Why would he want that back? I hope he doesn't serve that to another customer. It was our first and last visit. Terrible vibes. read more

Homemade jalapeno bread! Enough said! Excellent!!! The best experience off the menu! Rest of the menu is typical diner with good prices. read more

Excellent! Probably one of the best breakfasts I've ever had out at a restaurant. Home fries were delicious. Omelets amazing! If we get back there, that is where we will eat our breakfast. read more

I forgot how delicious the food was here! They have daily specials that include things like prime rib or steak n eggs. The salads are incredible! Piled with chicken n fresh chopped veggies, and a chunk of warm bread on the side. It's my new, old favorite. read more
