The only reason this establishment receives 2 stars is because the staff seem nice. The environment is comfortable. I have no idea what they've done regarding the food. I've ordered takeout for years but the past 2 times will prevent me from ever ordering again. What a joke. The salad was dried up spring mix greens (since when?), no tomato, no onion, no egg, just 2 dried up hard pieces of turkey & 2 dried up hard pieces of ham. Awful! Last straw for me. I've watched this wonderful restaurant plummet over the past 2 years. This is very sad because I'm sure people worked very hard to create this dining facility. Wake up whoever owns this restaurant and seek someone who cares about a successful operation. read more

I was talked into trying JK's another time . The menu has variety, with a lot of home made types of dishes. Our waitress did an excellent job, fast and friendly. The food was delicious and hot . We had a very good lunch. The food is not fast but definitely worth the wait. read more

This breakfast diner is well deserved five star Jessica my server was polite and courteous. I recommend SOS part of breakfast is one of the best here in town so far. It's a cozy little place for breakfast lunch or dinner. read more

Service is going downhill. And their bacon is horrible. Should have asked for new bacon. Terrible. Considering no more visits to their establishment. They need to have some new training or such do not plan on returning. read more

I go to JK's often for breakfast. The service can be great but other times not so much. Today, I went with my family for breakfast to celebrate my dad's 83rd birthday. The older lady who was to be our waitress was down right mean. She acted angry that our party of 9 came in. She tossed the menus on the table and did not acknowledge us further. We asked for an extra chair, which was refused. No explanation, no offer for another solution, no empathy, just dismissed. No offer to take our drink orders or to interact with us at all. We decided it was best to just leave and we ended up having a great experience at the local Cracker Barrel. I guess they appreciated our hefty bill and the tip we gave our kind server. I think my days of visiting JK's are over until mgmt looks at their wait staff and how they treat customers. read more

Great spot for breakfast...Grits; Corn beef; Hash Browns, etc! Service is quick and done with a generous smile! Great food and service! read more

We were meeting family for a quick lunch before beginning the long drive back to Florida so we consulted the local Yelpers. JK's came up with great reviews and the family said it was good as well. Very homy and local feel upon entering. We were seated quickly. Lots of great options on the menu with breakfast and lunch available. I had their rueben with the house dressing. It was pretty good but I think the original dressing might have been better. Sold option for breakfast or lunch. read more

We've been passing this place for at least a month or two, so decided to give it a try for breakfast after a good gym session this past Sunday. Definitely your local old folks hang out. I swear everyone was in there after church! Walked in the door and were immediately greeted by staff and the smell of breakfast! Sat ourselves and our drink order was taken right away. There's a lot to look at on their menu, but you can pretty much get a side of anything! They also have a specials board, which I suggest checking out too. I'm pretty basic with my breakfast -- eggs, toast, bacon, some kind of potato (which is exactly what I got this time around!) I also ordered a side of French toast, which was pretty tasty. I happily finished my breakfast and have no complaints. My husband and I both ate decent sized meals for roughly $20-25. I noticed they have holiday specials and our server even told us about the Valentine's Day dinner they offer/that they were taking reservations. Everyone was pretty friendly and the service was fast. No complaints about the cleanliness. Even the bathroom seemed well kept. I would be interested in trying out their lunch or dinner menu, for sure! read more

Excellent food, esp. Spaghetti with meat sauce. Excellent prices and fabulous dessert. You can call in an order or not and pick up in the drive thru. In-house service is excellent and friendly. I went at 4pm and thoroughly enjoyed my meal. read more

Excellent place for breakfast. Great wait staff. Loved the grits! Haha! If I lived in Fayetteville I'd probably eat here every day.

Loved this place for 25 plus years!! Great food! Good service! Will always be a favorite when I visit Fayetteville.

Cute little diner and great breakfast, my family-large party went here after my nephews morning graduation and enjoyed our breakfast. Mrs. Sharon provided superior service; she was so attentive and lovely! Grits were also Really good too; I'm a girl raised in the south and love good grits (which not everyone can make); this diner was really good! read more

Food was great and there was a mistake with my order and they fixed it for me and comped me for the mistake. Nothing tells me that they have nothing but respect for their customers. Thank you read more

This is a one-time review of JK's Deli Restaurant. ALL the other times, the restaurant is good and with decent service. For the service today, though, I would give it just One Star. However, I didn't, because our poor experience was for today only. It was the service. Our server took our order and supplied us with our beverages (tea for wife, water for me). When our meal was ready, the server brought it out to us and responded to our positive comments. So far, service a little slow but good. Server was friendly. Then our server disappeared. All the servers seemed to disappear except for the server on the other side of the room. No one checked on us to see how our food was or if we needed anything. Finally, my wife drank all her tea. We put the empty glass at the edge of the table to signify more tea is requested. Nothing. Finally, I took the empty tea glass and went to the entrance to the kitchen where the servers pick up their orders or do their business. No one. l saw someone in the kitchen area (the only server in sight other than the one working the other side of the room) and she had telephone headphones on, likely to answer calls. I could see she was working on prepping something. I just stood in the door and called gently, "Yoo Hoo!" hoping to get the attention of another server. I wasn't loud, but I was persistent as I steadily held my wife's glass in hand. I was just trying to get someone, preferably not the person I could see already involved in something. However, she answered finally and said that someone will get to me when they are able. The server from the other side of the room passed through and asked if I needed anything. I said that I just needed a refill on the tea. With a good attitude, she obtained a fresh glass of tea and gave it to me in a very kind and helpful manner. I went back to my table with my wife's tea. Since the service seemed slow, I put my credit card on the edge of the table so we could pay for our meal whenever our server came by. However, still no one showed. We finished our meal, we needed to pay (no ticket for our order summary and cost) and we needed to-go boxes. Still no sign of her. I took my card up to the cash register to pay. Our server was talking to the head server (with the headphones). When I got to the counter, our server disappeared and the head server rang us up without us ever seeing the bill. I'm quite sure she would have shown my bill if I had asked. I then asked, because I'm trying to help, if there was some time during the day that would be better for us to come to the restaurant when they aren't stretched for help. It was an honest question as I tend to be a helpful person. She then lit into me, that I was rude. She said that I stood at the door shaking my glass to get attention, and I was being quite rude. I can tell you that I never shook my glass at anyone. I just held it and gently called "Yoo hoo!" I'm thinking she was the person who was rude, but I didn't say anything. Perhaps she was having a bad day. Well, her day boiled over into mine. Hence, there is this review of JK's Deli and Restaurant in Yelp. It would be a One Star that day, but I put Four Stars as it is usually very good. I don't always like reviews in Yelp as sometimes they come across as passive-aggressive. I'm trying to avoid that, but I am expressing my upsetting experience as a customer today. For the head server, she likely had many things going on, and my standing there with an empty glass in hand got blown out of proportion in her mind. And yes, I'm one of the older, white-haired people that eat at JK's, but it doesn't mean I can be abused, either. I'm done. I'm going on with life as this isn't the worst thing that has ever happened to me. I'm sorry the head server had a bad moment, especially if I were a part of it (but not the cause). However, ALL of this could have been avoided if a server would have just come back to our table and checked on us and filled my wife's tea glass. Don't stay away from this restaurant. Just be aware that the service isn't always good. By the way, I found the server that did get our tea, and I gave her a dollar and said, "Thank you for helping me." read more

Not very friendly or my server was having a bad day. Besides me only one other person inside eatting (went in as soon as they unlocked the door to open) and still took 25 min for eggs & bacon. Server said they only had one cook. If there ONE cook can't handel two people then maybe they need to find another cook. read more

Googled a good Reuben sandwich and came across this place- well done Google! This place is a gem! My husband and I both sat down and got nostalgic for little diners in our hometowns. He got his Reuben which was great and I got an open face roast beef sandwich- both were equally tasty and the sweet tea was on point! Server even offered iced teas to go . Small, quiet but worth it.

First time here, & a real nice experience. It's a casual dining restaurant that's clean, reasonably priced, with friendly & professional service. Went for breakfast, so only saw that menu, but they had a nice variety. From simple egg plates w/ grits, to french toast, & it was all priced to eat. Check their daily specials board as well. They have some good looking desserts, if only I wasn't full. Servers were attentive, professional, & friendly. All qualities you want. Restaurant is clean & casual, with a small outdoor dining area, which looked fine. Looking forward to going back for dinner while I'm here. Update: Ate here every morning for breakfast for a week, & also lunch one day. Couldn't have asked for better service & food quality. Highly recommended local restaurant. read more

The food here was soooooooo good! The decor is kind of disappointing, dark and drab, but the food is delicious! I've passed by the several times and finally stopped in, glad I did. The prices are reasonable, maybe even a little cheap, but the food isn't. The service was ok, wasn't horrible, but wasn't something to brag about. read more

If you are looking for excellent food at reasonable prices, especially a great breakfast, come here and try their shrimp and grits. They having amazing food with outstanding customer service. Again, the shrimp and grits are a must, but everything we have tried so far on their menu is outstanding! Be sure to check it out! read more

Support small businesses when you can! JK is legit! I frequent this establishment on the regular for breakfast. No one can go wrong with the SOS or the waffles. The only thing that could use some work is the coffee but for a greasy spoon type of place, it works for me. read more

I try to give local businesses the benefit of the doubt. Except the steak I received here was so grissely, I sincerely wondered if my meat came from a cow. I don't expect grade A wagyu beef, but the meat I was given was absurdly stringy, chewy, and worst of all, it was lukewarm, borderline cold on my plate, along with my eggs and hashbrowns. Also, the cheese in my friend's omelette hadn't melted all the way through. Disappointment all around. Service was pleasant, our server was attentive enough not to seem overbearing and good enough to check up on us twice while there. Nothing to brag about. Inside was clean and the decorations for the winter holidays were a nice homey touch. Parking was ample. We arrived there at brunch time, about the time for the tail end of a breakfast rush, so it wasn't too crowded. I heard lunch/dinner was better but yikes, breakfast here is a no go. read more

Service was attentive, clean and nice soft music. Breakfast for two was under 20.00. The pancakes were thick and big. The bacon was crisp. Didn't like potatoes as much. Grits was season for a change. Most restaurant don't season grits. read more

I've been eating here for a while now (breakfast only) and this is a good choice for breakfast in town. The food is generally cooked well, but they lose a star for their inconsistency. It's just not the same experience every time. For instance, today my grits were too salty to eat and my scrambled eggs were scorched and over-cooked. Other times the hashbrowns are completely different. Sometimes you get a good size piece of country link sausage and sometimes you get a little piece. That being said, it has been on point plenty of times. I've had great fried pork chops and country fried steak, but other times it was a miss. The other loss of a star is for the slow, albeit friendly, service. There is no signage in the place telling you to seat yourself. We were completely ignored on our first visit and I've seen other obvious first-time patrons ignored as well. Once you have found a seat, it can take a while before your first visit from the waitstaff. However, the food generally comes out in a timely manner and once your are seated and have received drinks the service is generally very good. read more

The food wasn't disappointing, though I wouldn't call what I had great. I ordered beef tips and sadly they felt a bit over cooked. Coming served on bed of rice was not the greatest, but again, not bad. The decor inside the restaurant was kind of depressing and honestly the only employees who said hi were the server that served us. Not even a smile in my direction when they walked by. Our server was wonderful though, plenty chatty and smiling the whole time. I wouldn't recommend this place but I wouldn't tell people NOT to come here. read more

I regularly come here for breakfast before work. I always get 3 eggs, hash brown, bacon and toast. The hash browns are uniquely DELICIOUS. A bit greasy for some, but I love the taste. They have always greeted me with a smile. The place is nice and clean, and there's a great atmosphere. read more

I have often heard about fluffy eggs when referring an omelet, but until now I had not experienced it. I ordered the western omelet and was greeted by a light, flavorful delight. I splurged on the SOS as a side and am glad I did. It had a great flavor that complimented the omelet. They definitely have the basics down and I look forward to enjoying the more advanced items. read more

Great place. Nice inside and atmosphere. The outside may not look spectacular, but looks can be deceiving. The inside renovation is very nice and comforting. The staff is very warm, friendly and accommodating. The staff was great! And the food was perfect...just what we wanted...a delicious breakfast. We will go back! We were deciding between here and K & ? Cafeteria which is a buffet, we were very happy with our decision to chose JK. read more

We had the best customer service tonight, even with us walking in 10 minutes before they closed. They brought my kids' food out quickly and even gave them some candy after dinner. Definitely will return with the family, this was the least stressful dinner out in a while, which is rare with two young kids. Good food and excellent service! read more

Always great food at a reasonable price with good service. Breakfast is the best!

Read some reviews about restaurant and heard it was a great place to eat. Got to the restaurant and realized JK must have stood for just kidding. Service was terrible. Coffee was absolutely disgusting. Food was not fresh. Spinach In the spinach and feta omelette must be frozen got pulled to thaw and was left out for days. I pay over $2 for a piece of French toast (1 darn piece) and you're telling me if I want powdered sugar I have to pay an extra .15 cents? Refills for sodas cost money. Seems they charge for everything and you get the worst. We are in the restaurant business, so we know what to fairly expect. Never going back again. read more

ok, so since my last posting I have been to JK's four or five times, all for breakfast. They are so very consistent in their food, the seasoning, the tastes and the experience. I even used their pick up option (they have a drive thru!!) a couple of times. JK's for breakfast is THE place to be! The only, the ONLY, downside to this place I'd say is that their soft drinks/soda fountain issues are much to be desired. Otherwise, tasty food, reasonable priced, consistent in their quality, and fine fine customer service. Ya gotta give 'em a try, you'll be a fan! ok, so enough of the glowing review for their breakfast. My wife and I decided to check them out for their lunch cuisine. And I was interested in everything they had available on their menu's, from Gyros to calamari, to staples like burger and fries, fish -n- chips, and such. My wife tried the steak gyro and it was a fat, huge gyro that left her satisfied. Nicely seasoned, the streak and cheese within, mixed well with the onions and green peppers... oommggg! And I gotta say, the fries that accompanied the gyro, crisped of awesomeness! I decided to try their hot wings (unbreaded and deep fried, 6 for about $8), calamari and the main course, the grilled chicken sandwich. I figured these were basic things and easily enough to make versus, say lasagna or beef liver (they have these on the menu too!). And so here is where my wonderment and satisfaction with JK's hit's an abrupt end. (this does not in any way affect my thoughts about their breakfast however). The wings were pathetic in size, greasy to the touch and the sauce it came with was about an inch of grease/oil on top before you even got a hint of taste of the sauce. The calamari, totally the frozen type you'd find at the local Food Lion. Tasteless (but not oily), unseasoned rings of some squid meat with occasional pieces freezer burned. Gross.. And the marinara it came with was so sweet, I was surprised I didn't fall into some diabetic coma afterwards. The calamari and accompanying marinara was bad. Avoid it! The grilled chicken sandwich started to look up. A high, well seasoned chicken breast sat on a nice burger bun (ok ok,the chicken was so big, it hung over the sides of the little bun... but to me, that's a good thing!). It came with some overripe tomatoes and a couple of slices of iceberg lettuce. Gross. JK, if' your reading this, PLEASE switch from iceberg to romain, or green/red leaf, or something beyond the crappy cold, crisp, empty of calories and taste iceberg lettuce. Would have ruined by sandwich if I didn't remove it first. I am still a big fan of their breakfast, and will probably go back and try their lunch specials again, especially after I shared with the cashier (the Manager? Mr. JK himself?) my dissatisfaction and his assurance if I were to return he will take care of us. Next time, I think I'll try the burger and stay away from the appetizers. read more

I've lived in Fayetteville my whole life and I can't believe I haven't tried this until tonight! Wow. What can I say? Good food and good customer service! We went for dinner and the grilled chicken and rice was great! I heard from other reviewers that the breakfast is amazing! Will report back on that! read more

Yet another Greek run restaurant in Fayetteville. Very good home cooking with surprises like the feta cheese Greek omelet every morning, the moussaka that appears every now and then, the lamb on Sundays (Greek-lamb... need I say more?). Wonderful stuffed peppers. An everyday kind of place that has a loyal and regular clientele. I would love more Greek dishes on the menu, but they say it just doesn't sell. Maybe one day. read more

My husband and I are from a smaller town in northern Wisconsin, where we do not have establishments like "IHOP" and "Waffle House," so whenever we run into smaller "ma and pop" family restaurants we HAVE to try it. We've now come back to eat here for the 5th time and LOVE it! Amazing service- seriously the friendliest staff even on the busiest days and great food!
