My husband has been trying to take me here for years. We finally came with his parents this weekend, and while it was good, I don't see what all the fuss is about. The place has no ambiance at all and is located in the basement of an office buidling. It only has about 10 tables, along with about 10 chairs at the counter. Prices range from average (about $6 for pancakes and basic eggs) to high ($14 for benedicts). Service is good, if a little zealous on the coffee refills. My husband had the pumpkin panckakes which were fantastic and topped with an acron brown butter. I had the crab and lobster benedict which I was dissapointed with. The crab cakes were really thin and a bit overcooked - and they were filled with "filler" like corn, rather than all crab and losbter. The english muffins were tough and the eggs were undercooked - I asked for poached hard and when I cut in to the egg I still had a large river of yolk spilling out. Definately not with the $14 price tag. I'm sure I'll be back at some point when I am in GP and I'll try something else. Its a very popular place, but for my money I'd rather just get a $4 omelette at Coney. read more

well, were do I start? Best breakfast on the east-side of the city. for a place dotted with regular breakfast diners, and less interesting, run-of-the-mill food, this place is a stand out. sure it is hidden in a basement of an office building, but it is all about the food. the coffee is hot, the selection is fantastic, and you can bring you kid. another stunner, the bacon. oh the bacon. just go and give it a try and you will not be disappointed. read more

I love the food at Jumps and have never been disappointed. (Outside of being served a soup that was much, much too lava hot.) I do find it slightly pricey for the atmosphere - so prefer the lunch menu. I also find service a bit of a mixed bag. Competent, but not always friendly - I've often felt like a bother instead of a welcomed guest. But it doesn't deter me from continuing to dine there. read more

The french fries tasted like greasy onions. The ketchup taste like mustard, the fruit tasted like vegetables, and then i had to wait 1 minute for my food which was terrible, and the waiter let gas on me which i like it alot March Fools April Fools Tiki tiki read more

My boyfriend and I have driven by this place many times and decided to try it yesterday. They bring hot bread to the table when you arrive which I always like :) For dinner I was in the mood for a salad and my boyfriend wanted something heavier. I got the Tuscan Kale salad and it was tasty; it was fresh and had a great ginger based dressing. My boyfriend got the veal scallopini and it was good but the portion was very small. For a $30 entree he expected to get more food! I usually help myself to samples of his dinner but I felt guilty this time because he had so little on his plate! Overall, good food but overpriced for what you get. I've heard that lunch is a different experience, though, so maybe we will try that. read more

I've been coming to Jumps for years. Now that they moved upstairs from the basement it's incredible. I can sum this up very easily. Breakfast, lunch, dinner......love it! Love it! Love it! This is my favorite place for food, service, and atmosphere. read more

Their weekend brunch is a regular thing for us. Weirdly their fruit cup is one of my favorite things. Sounds odd but the fruit is always fresh and ripe. The quiche of the day and the scrambles are awesome. The Benedict is good as well, the Hollandaise is pretty well-balanced read more

Wow, I have not been here in two years and I love the new upstairs location even more. Great gourmet dishes, the chicken chilli is still outstanding, I wish it was available in the grocery store. Great portions, great service, it's all around GREAT! A true Grosse Pointe Local spot. Not a great place for people who prefer junk food and Mcdonalds, more of a spot for people who appreciate the finer things in life and enjoy flavors and quality. So, If you are a fat hungry complaining cheapskate you are sure to be disappointed and should maybe try the coney Island, Wendy's on Mack or Bunchys chicken downtown after all space is still limited and I would hate to have to wait for some uncooth neaderthal who thinks they are going to a crumb around. read more

Really great spot for brunch. Have a benedict and or omelet. Get a side of russet potatoes. The mimosa and bloodys are very good. Service is average. Waitresses are froendly though. We did have a hair in our potatoes though a new dish was made and on our plate in minutes. I suggest reservations if coming on a sunday morning. It is a little on the pricy sode but expected given the area. read more

The food was awesome, the service was equally as good! Atmosphere is comfortable and cozy. We had brunch but I can't wait to try a lunch or dinner! I will definitely come back! read more

Very solid neighborhood eatery. Everything is always very fresh. Never really been dissatisfied with anything on the menu. It's simple fare, but it's all done very well. I'm a big fan of the scallop salad, and their sandwiches are all very solid. Given the death of good dining in Grosse Pointe, I really wish that there were more restaurants like Jumps. It's priced affordably (under $15). Ambience and food are hip enough to attract a younger crowd while still remaining quiet enough for the senior crowd. read more

My wife and I found this place on a whim. We walked in off the street and it wasn't very busy. We took a glance at the menu and decided to stay for dinner. Sure glad we did! Server Nicole was very attentive without being too overbearing. She showed up only when we needed her and was very pleasant. The food was very fresh and prepared perfectly. Our Caesar salads came on very chilled plates and was quite tasty. Our appetizer of seared scallops was the best I've ever had. Main dishes arrived right on time and hot! Perch and Whitefish was fresh and cooked to perfection. It's quite a drive from our house but we can't wait to go back. read more

Jumps is always an amazing experience It's the best of the best from the quality of food to great service provided by a very professional and friendly staff read more

The food is classic, tasty, and worth the time it takes to prepare. The service, however, makes it an almost downright unpleasant experience. Every time I have gone, the server has been the same woman, who is very cold and inattentive. I sat for fifteen minutes with an empty coffee and empty water while I watched her socialize at the bar. It's a shame. Being a server myself, it just grinds my gears. read more

The food is just simply correct. I don't know how else to describe what it's like eating their food.

This was my wife and I's first visit to Jumps. We just moved down the street and we excited to walk to this spot. Food was delicious but the service was rude and unhelpful. Also, the $3 coffee was terrible. It is a shame such food is paired with such bad service. I am normally not one to care about a server's involvement in my dining experience, but when they are bluntly ignore you and cut you off whenever you are speaking it really leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Our food sat under the heat lamps for 15 minutes, we timed it on our phones, before being slung on our table. We just moved to GP from Portland where servers earned their tips and conducted their work with pride. It's a shame we keep finding such low level of service in the GP area so often. Seems like most review here complain of bad service. So who is going to make this change happen? Interior decor really needs a face lift for the prices they are charging. The exposed kitchen is neat, those chefs are really hustling! Food, 4 stars. Service, 1 star. Decor, 2 star. read more

I was highly disappointed. The atmosphere was strange......no one was in the restaurant and the staff stood around gossiping. The food was awful, and the bar was non existent meaning no bartender and limited top shelf liquor, my fiance and I were highly disappointed. The staff were staring like they couldn't wait for us to leave. We'll never be back..........over priced crap. read more

Very bad service. The owner works the floor and unless you're a personal friend of her's expect to wait until all her friends are seated and served before you're even noticed. She has her hostess trained to lie for her when you ask why others are are being seated and served ahead of you. Food is fair, and the menu is very limited, presentation is poor and the staff are rude. Definitely over rated. read more

My favorite restaurant in Grosse Pointe. Brunch, lunch and dinner are all excellent. The open faced salmon sandwich is incredible, the potato salad is the best and it's always hard to choose a salad because they're all great. The soup is to die for, no matter what the soup of the day is it's guaranteed to be delicious. The owner Mo is always friendly, making an effort to say hi and she's also always serving tables. Everything is high quality and I highly recommend making a visit! read more

Just ok:(. Had lunch w/ a friend & it was just tooooo stuffy in here. Food was ok not too pricey but all & all ok. Worth a try!

Horrible !!! Horrible Service!!! Very RUDE owner... Waited for 20mins to be seated. But unless you Know the owner you get seated right away. Stood there watching the owner seat all of her friends that came in behind us. Will never go back again... read more

Canned soup concentrate on top of pasta with microwaved sausage. $27. 4 different entrees, all basically the same. Not good. Service was adequate. Lighting was wired and it was filled with old people. For the money I would not go here again nor would I recommend it. read more

I thought Jumps was extremely mediocre. The white bean chili was more like bean soup, the ceasar salad was barely average. I think the menu offered short ribS, but when the dish arrived it was only one rib. We all stared at it in disbelief. The mashed potatoes that came with it were good, though. The full-priced drinks were half-sized. My recommendation... go elsewhere. read more

We went to Jumps for dinner on our Anniversary and it was terrible. The food was sooo salty and the waitress had a bad attitude - she couldn't have cared less that our food tasted bad. There were no vegetarian entrees so I ordered a salad and they put bacon on it even though there was no mention of bacon in the description. The waitress said that they had a new sous chef in the kitchen and he threw it on. Needless to say, she did not offer a new salad with bacon to me, so I had to pick it off. We will not be going back to Jumps...ever. read more

Great food. Food never disappoints in the 10 years I have eaten at Jumps. The service - eh. The other thing is that the Grosse Pointe seniors get preferential treatment over those that aren't "regulars." Worth visiting for the food. Don't be offended by the spotty service if you aren't a "regular." read more

Our office loves going to Jump's. The food is great! My favorite is the Maurice Salad but all the other salads are surprisingly good. My colleague always goes for the stir fry and the rest go for sandwiches. When everything arrives, we can only compliment the deliciousness! Their new location on the ground floor is a huge improvement over the basement dungeon. The staff is nice, too. The only complaint we have is how crowded it is. You almost always have to wait... read more

Dinner was fine, service a bit spotty. The ambience is fine for breakfast, but is only fair in the evening. Menu has great variety as eight of us were each able to find something that suited our taste. read more

I'm shocked to see any marginal reviews posted. The atmosphere is traditional not trendy, just like the town. Jumps has the best food in Grosse Pointe. The chef is amazing and he usually comes out to personally inquire about the meal. It's impossible to make a bad choice, everything is prepared fresh and is always delicious. If you're not in the mood to count calories, get the lobster pasta... it's heaven on a plate. read more

Jumps takes great care and pride in every dish that comes out. Family ran and operated Jumps always delivers what you are looking for in a dinning experience. read more

I went here a few days ago for a nice brunch. It was phenomenal. I had the turkey and sun-dried tomato sausage, asparagus, shiitake mushroom, caramelized onion and muenster cheese omelet. It was delicious. The two other meals ordered were the salmon benedict, and a chorizo, avocado, spanish onion, tomato and smoked gouda omelet. They both got rave reviews also. I'm really looking forward to trying more of the menu. And mimosas. read more

What a fantastic find ... Jumps debuts extremely high on our priority list. From the excellent service (we'll ask for Ryan every time), to the outstanding appetizer (risotto), to the entree choices ... this was a great experience. I had the sauteed salmon, which was prepared medium and was accompanied by israeli cous cous, summer squash and roasted tomatoes and topped with artichoke and beets. Excellent! Deb had the fettucini with lobster and grilled scallops in a creme sauce ... again, perfectly prepared, perfectly plated, generous portion ... not anything more we could ask for. We may just go back for breakfast in the a.m. read more

mmmm mmm. The east side doesn't have many great, unique restaurants, so Jumps is an exception! I've been there twice for breakfast now and both times, its been amazing. The service is attentive and the food is very fresh tasting - and seasoned perfectly! read more

Jumps is one of my favorite brunch restaurants in Grosse Pointe. It's consistently good, and I love to try something new on the menu each time I go. I look forward to seeing what their specials are, because the creativity of the chefs amazes me! Any of their eggs benedict are a safe bet, and I always make sure to get the fresh baked muffins as well. If you go at lunch time, I suggest trying one of their specials, but everything is delicious. The red skin potatoes are a must, as well. read more

I've been here several times for both lunch and dinner and I have been thrilled every visit! Prompt and attentive staff, delicious eats, quiet and relaxed environment. Perfect spot for an intimate dinner with loved ones or a business lunch on the run. -Lunch rec: Grilled bavarian ham sandwich -Dinner rec: Beef tenderloin OMG IT'S AMAZING! read more

I've eaten here many times. Delish! Easter Brunch is to die for. Jumps is a great place for a dinner date. Amazing chefs and owners that really care about what's going on the plate. read more

We had lunch here 2 hours ago. The Maurice Salad and a Pulled Pork Sandwich. The Maurice was good, but was missing the small gherkinds (pickles) in the original recipe. The pulled pork was maybe a 6 out of 10 pts - meat was delicious and tender, excess juice from the slaw (piled on top of the meat) made mush out of the bun and the BBQ sauce was non-existant. Price was fair. Waitress was good. I'd go there again. I'm thinking there are better items on the menu......I'd be sure to ask how your food will be prepared, so you can ask for items on-the-side if necessary (like the cole slaw on the sandwich). read more

I have eaten here many times, usually for brunch or lunch. The food is decent but a bit pricy. The problem is that the hostess was very rude to us the last time we were there. It was lunch time on a Tuesday and the place was not at all crowded. We had just finished eating our meal which we had waited a good while just to get. We were brought our check and told we would need to leave because someone wanted our table. ?? Really?? Plenty of empty tables but someone wanted our booth so we have to hurry and leave? When we called to complain the owners offered us %25 off if we'd come back. Nope! Not even a little bit worth it. Plenty of other good places to eat around GP. Not worth the money or the hassle. Last time we were there a lady brought her pocket dog in a stroller and parked it right by our tables, really? read more

I love Jumps! I have been here for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner, and I have never had a bad meal. Service can be spotty at times, but the food can generally out weight the sometimes too "hands off" staff! The eggs Benedict is amazing, the puff pancake delicious, and their brunch menu changes every week. read more

Yummy! We had the crab cakes, lake perch, lobster pasta and baked Alaska... Everything tasted wonderful! Definitely planning a second date to try out the two for $40 deal. read more

We have been going to Jumps since it was located in the lower level of it's current building. We go for dinner on average every 4 weeks. The atmosphere is soft, not crowded, and the noise level is quiet. The food is really good and the plate layout is impressive. Especially the Tenderloin. Twin fillets prepared perfectly. Also the Caesar salad, included as a choice for salad, is excellent. The calamari appetizer is excellent. With dinner you are served 3 nice homemade hot rolls (for 2 people). The homemade soups are in house made as is everything else (the owner is the chef). The floor staff consists the wife (owner) and her adult son. They are waiters, bus staff, and bartenders. Therefore, service can be spotty and because they are rushed they can be snotty and impatient. Especially the mother. Not at all warm and caring. The rolls include about a teaspoon of soft butter per person (1 teaspoon maybe) in a teeny little glass butter dish which is enough butter for about a 1/4 of a roll. When asked for additional butter for the remaining 3/4 roll, you may, before the end of the meal, get additional. Still leaving you with 1/2 of a roll. Never, when they go by your table, will they ask if you would like more or even better, bring more without asking. Same thing is true with the calamari. You get that little butter thing (1 this time) with the calamari sauce (maybe 1 1/4 teaspoon) with each order. It makes no difference if there are 2 people or 4, the same 1 little dish of sauce. I asked for additional sauce and I was charged $1.00 extra for the second sauce. When you finally get the floor person's attention for more, the attitude is evident. It seems the butter and calamari are a profit center. There can be no other logical reason for an upscale restaurant like Jumps for this cheap behavior. How stupid can owners be? It's the little things that bring customers back. And by the way, our bill for 2 people always exceeds $100.00 before tip which makes their behavior even more perplexing. read more
