This place is a home town favorite. Huge portions of good old fashion food for an incredible price. Everything is always cooked perfectly to order and I make things complicated. They are always busy and they always are hustling to get you needed meet. I would wait hours to eat there. When it's good you wait. However long it takes always worth it. read more

Excellent food and great service. Scones were awesome. Prices are reasonable. Had breakfast and would highly recommend.

Food was amazing and service was great good for an old-fashion breakfast. Prices are great!

My husband gets omelets every where we go for breakfast and this place he said is the best one he has ever had! He had the Denver omelet and home fries with the gravy option. I just had the basic egg, and homefries (no meat) breakfast and could not eat everything. Did I mention they offer homemade bread for toast and homemade strawberry jelly? No idea why this place only has 4 stars. They offer cash discounts too. read more

Stopped here while passing through Idaho on the 15. The staff was friendly and the bathrooms are very clean. We tried: - scone with strawberry jam - kind of like Indian fry bread. Very tasty - cinnamon roll - giant roll could feed 3 people. Since my husband couldn't eat the whole thing, he just cut the bottom off where the caramel was and the delicious maple frosting. - Pancake. breakfast with scrambled eggs and bacon. The eggs and bacon were very good. The two pancakes were so big I ate less than half. I prefer my pancakes on the thin side; these were thick but had good flavor. Would like to come back on Monday night for fried chicken night. read more

Service here is great and waitresses are friendly. The food - not so much, although it's not the worst I've had either. We had breakfast this morning with a party of 10 and we all ordered a few different things. I had the chicken fried steak w/ a side of pancakes and coffee. The coffee was watered down and so were the syrup & ketchup. The country fried steak could've been good if seasoned right but it didn't have too much flavor but I did like the consistency. It's a nice spot - with a few improvements to the food it could be a real gem especially since I do love divey breakfast spots myself ;) read more

I these sassy ladies! Don't come here thinking ur not going to have a great time! Give them a little sass back

Never even got served. We were on the waiting list we waited outside as asked, no problem we were texted and seated,. waitress brought us water my friend asked as the waitress walked away if we could get coffee. The waitress replied as she was walking away that she didnt like being shouted at . When she brought the menus she told us there was no shouting in the restaurant. Nobody was shouting or demanding anything my friend was just letting her know that when she brought menus we would like coffee so she wouldnt need to make 2 trips. We are older women in our 60s. we are not out to give anyone a hard time.They seem to have plenty of clientele so we will go where the restaurant staff is more thoughtful and not rude. read more

Good food! There was a wait but we were seated in 30 min on a Sunday morning. The coffee was good and their pancakes so delicious! read more

Very rude owner Heidi! With a restaurant half full and no one else waiting she will make you wait outside if your 5th person isn't in the building. She did this after interrupting our conversation about how many have stopped going there since Heidi took over because she is so rude and unprofessional. Heidi has no management skills and is ruining Jerri's name since she took over. Do not go here save yourself from being belittled by a very childish owner !!!! Her exact words I have plenty of people I don't care if you leave. Well guess what Heidi word of mouth is a real thing especially in a small town. read more

Let me tell you about my experience at Jeri's Jumbo's Cafe. First and foremost, the manager Heidi Hunsaker is probably the worst manager in the history of managers. She could probably use a good class in Management and in Customer Service. I am deeply troubled that in 3 weeks she will own this place. Her management technique is to harass, belittle and completely disrespect her customers. These qualities do not at all ever belong in a retail or customer service environment. Today, I took my family to what I believed was going to be a nice sit down family meal for breakfast. We ordered and received excellent service from our waitress. When we came to the bill, there was some discrepancies. Such as being charged $3.00 for a scoop of peanut butter for my French toast. That price wasn't even on the menu. I literally paid $3.00 for a scoop of peanut butter. Secondly, their menu states "a party of 6 or more or check of $60 or more MAY be subject to an 18% auto gratuity." Not that I don't tip my waitress, in fact my entire family is comprised of waitress and waiters, so I'm uniquely aware of the importance of tips, BUTTTTTT when you receive your check and you've been charges a 20% tip, that is not okay. I had a family of 3 plus a 13 month old. So 4 total humans. I was auto charged 20%. When I asked for the manager, and I explained that forcing me to pay a tip is not only illegal, but to auto charge 20% is fraud when the menu specifically states 18%. See Idaho Code 18-3125 "18-3125. CRIMINAL POSSESSION OF FINANCIAL TRANSACTION CARD, FINANCIAL TRANSACTION NUMBER AND FTC FORGERY DEVICES. It is a felony punishable as provided in subsection (3) of section 18-3128, Idaho Code, for any person: (1) To acquire an FTC or FTC number from another without the consent of the card holder or the issuer with the intent to use to defraud, or to, with the knowledge that it has been so acquired, receive an FTC or FTC number with the intent to use to defraud, or to sell, or to transfer the FTC or FTC number to another person with the knowledge that it is to be used to defraud; [and] (4) To, with the intent to defraud, knowingly obtain or attempt to obtain credit or purchase or attempt to purchase any goods, property or service, by use of any false, fictitious, counterfeit, revoked, expired or fraudulently obtained FTC or FTC account number." In other words you have to make clear a charge and the charge MUST be for service or materials rendered. An auto tip is illegal unless the card holder consents. Further, all I was trying to make clear was that I wanted to pay my tip as cash and not on my card. The industry standard and waitress/waiter preferred method of payment has always been cash. This "manager" openly criticized me, created mass hysteria, and belittled me for wanting a tip taken off of my credit card. She created such a scene that in all honesty, other customers were staring. She wouldn't even allow me or my wife to get a word in edge wise to explain our point or intention. This now makes Heidi guilty of Felony theft. Idaho Code 18-2403 states, "18-2403. THEFT. (1) A person steals property and commits theft when, with intent to deprive another of property or to appropriate the same to himself or to a third person, he wrongfully takes, obtains or withholds such property from an owner thereof. (2) Theft includes a wrongful taking, obtaining or withholding of another's property, with the intent prescribed in subsection (1) of this section, committed in any of the following ways: (e) By extortion. A person obtains property by extortion when he compels or induces another person to deliver such property to himself or to a third person by means of instilling in him a fear that, if the property is not so delivered, the actor or another will: 5. Expose a secret or publicize an asserted fact, whether true or false, tending to subject some person to hatred, contempt or ridicule; [and by] 9. Perform any other act which would not in itself materially benefit the actor but which is calculated to harm another person materially with respect to his health, safety, business, calling, career, financial condition, reputation or personal relationships." The bottom line here is the auto tip was $13.84, I was trying to and did in fact leave the waitress a $20 cash tip. The fact that this manager violated the law in an attempt to extort me and my family and then to create a scene is criminal and her conduct will in fact be held accountable. I implore each and every single customer wanting to eat at Jumbo's to rethink their choice when and if Heidi ever becomes an owner of this establishment. In less than an hour thus "manager" proved to in fact violate 2 felony criminal codes in the idaho criminal Code and for what? Because a customer criticized an auto tip on his credit card in order to leave an even bigger tip in cash? Any person reading this post, I have this whole interaction on video and am more than happy to share it with you. read more

Love the food. Service is fast and very friendly. And you get great portions. Well worth the money. Heidi puts a lot of love and time and hard work into Jumbos. All the staff are great. Thank you. read more

This place came recommended by my son who visits for work to the Pocatello area. We were driving thru so we stopped, so glad we did, portions were large enough for me and my husband to share, which was a plus since we were driving and couldn't take leftovers with us. Food, service & atmosphere were all excellent!!! read more

Over prices very small and wasn't that great. The biscuits were hard and not your normal

One poor waitress and a large restaurant full of people on a Saturday morning. Service was, need I say, slower than slow. It was very ridiculous. I sat at the counter because I was unsure if I needed to wait to be seated or seat myself. It was well over 6 minutes before I was even approached with a menu. Coffee and water finally arrived. As well as a menu. Biscuits and gravy was what I wanted. It was reasonably priced. Added a side of bacon. And waited. I sipped on coffee and waited to place my order. Eventually it was placed. I believe another employee arrived. I am sure the lone waitress was happy for the help. The other newly arrived employee dipped her cup into the ice to fill it instead of using the ice scoop that was clearly there to be used for such purposes. I see all sitting at the counter. Amazing biscuit. So-so gravy. Glad I tried it. You should give it a try. You'll be glad you did and maybe service will be better. read more

At any other time this would have been an enthusiastic five star review. During Covid I've been trying to support local businesses. Was appalled to see how irresponsible this one was. Walked in to pick up my takeout and none of the staff was wearing a mask and the people seated were clumped together. I almost walked back out without my food cuz the cashier was having a conversation at the top of her voice with a waitress instead of ringing me up. It's a tiny hole-in-the-wall restaurant but they aren't even trying. Definitely took them off my list during the pandemic, and maybe beyond. read more

We wanted a local favorite when we took a quick road trip to the Fort Hall Casino and Jeri's sounded like a great place! It was SO good! Even though it was REALLY busy the staff were friendly and handled business in getting our party of 8 seated and fed. Portions were huge, I had the chicken fried steak and he had biscuits/gravy and a ham steak that covered the plate. Getting a scone as a side was an option and nearly everyone had one at the tables around me so I said YES. I had to take it to go- so much food, next time we're in the area we'll definitely stop back in. A real treasure in the area. read more

If you are looking for an affordable home cooked breakfast with extremely friendly service you can stop your search at Jumbos. Portion sizes are huge and everything is truly home cooked. The breakfast burrito was solid and loaded with sausage, fresh cut peppers and onions to boot. Not once had I ever considered putting sausage gravy on Hash and will probably never be the sale again. Smashing! read more
