Customer service is top-of-the-line, the place is full of personality, and the dishes are memorable, especially for breakfast! Fresh Fruit Crepes | My absolute favorite item on the menu! The crepes are neatly rolled up, stuffed with Nutella, topped with whipped cream, strawberry, blueberries, bananas & just a delicious bite of goodness! It's a sweet way to start the morning for breakfast and I enjoyed every single day! Swedish Pancakes | One of my favorite items on the menu! The pancakes are thin, sauced up with savory yet sweet Lingonberry sauce! Absolutely delicious! I've had this dish several times! In fact on my most recent visit, upon arrival, I had this very dish while seated on the outside patio! Eggs | Fluffy & delicious! Orange Juice | Refreshing! Customer Service | Excellent! Incredibly friendly, helpful with the menu and it's great to seeing familiar faces with each visit! Busy Bee | This restaurant is super busy, especially for breakfast!

Decor | Spacious inside & a bit of seating on the outside patio in the front! Funny sayings throughout the restaurant, as well as photographs and a whole lot of personality all-around! Overall | Yes, please! It was fun introducing my friends to this restaurant on my most recent visit! They enjoyed their dishes as well! I'm looking forward to returning and enjoying my favorites from the menu! Let's go!

Solid greasy spoon breakfast in Avalon, my first time delving into the world of short stacks and…read moresausage links on Catalina. Asked a local about where to find such a place, he immediately mentioned Jack's, which I followed up on. At a place like this, you sit at the counter, no questions asked, and I wonder why they even have another option. For the rookies, I guess. Only drawback was that they don't have water. Bottled water, sure, but no tap water. It's an island, I get it, but everywhere else has water offered. And, for what came to a $30 breakfast (without a drink), yeah, water might be a nice token. Regardless, glad I came, but in a city as unique as Avalon, I'll continue to diversify my breakfast options next time...

The skillet itself wasn't really my favorite, so I only managed to get halfway through it at most, which was a bit of a bummer. The Biscuits N' Gravy, on the other hand, were absolutely delicious!! I immediately devoured those lol. I think if I came back, I'd definitely try something else, perhaps something from the Combos section. Still, the staff was nice :)

We ordered a large pizza with half cheese and half pepperoni. The pizza was delicious with just the thickness that we liked and the appropriate amount of ingredients. We also ordered an individual ( small) garden salad which was kind of sad looking, so not recommended. It's nice to sit outside and chat up with the people sitting next to you and all is jolly.

I ordered a soyrizo breakfast burrito and it was quite large and full of eggs and potatoes. I wasn't a fan of the salsa it came with (has oregano in it so it tastes like a marinara), but the soyrizo had so much flavor I didn't need any additional sauce. My friend got the chilaquiles and they were SOOO SPICY. thankfully we love the heat but I don't think most people would enjoy it. Unlike the marinara salsa, the red sauce smothering the chips was rich and smokey and full of flavor - they were absolutely delicious. The woman working was awesome, she was funny, witty, kind, and made the interaction fun. You could tell she was a people person and made sure to keep her job fun and light hearted.
