New owner, new prices, new staff. This used to be a great place to enjoy a cup of coffee at the bar and enjoy the regulars. Not anymore! All of the old staff is gone! Some of them even told that they didn't FIT THE NEW IMAGE AND WERE FIRED! Wow is all I can say about that! The food is no longer good as well. Been there a few times and eggs over cooked, grits taste like paste, bacon greasy and fatty! 3 ppl breakfast $48.00??? Really sad to see such a staple of the Northside gone. now just another owner trying to get rich at our expense. I won't return. read more

Upon arrival, we waited to be seated, we were shown to a table and given a breakfast menu, our meal consisted of eggs and pancakes, which really doesn't take that long to cook, but because we were a party of two we were ignored and we waited 45 minutes with the worst coffee , For food that we never got !! to add insult to injury the hostess asked : how was your food? Which I replied.: I wouldn't know I didn't get any . I will never go back to this place even if it's the last restaurant in Florida. read more

Good food and good service. If you want a simple breakfast done well this is a great spot.

We have been a regular customer for awhile now. Never had a bad meal here. I especially like their omelets. Super crowded on weekends. read more

We had breakfast there 2 times while in Jacksonville and I must say it was excellent The food and service was great I highly recommend read more

We just stopped by for a late breakfast and highly recommend this place. The service was excellent and the food was delicious, especially the crispy bacon. We met the owners Mark and Salene, they were working hard with their staff, greeted everyone as they entered and checked in with every table to make sure everything was OK. read more

My grandpa comes here almost every morning and I have to tag along some time to get this amazing breakfast and atmosphere. Very down home and cozy. The staff is very welcoming and attentive. read more

Came upon Terry's on a fluke. Busy Saturday morning, but because only 2 of us scored a table quickly. We had no clue that Terry's idea of country ham, smoked sausages, etc. were so large. We filled the table with the most wonderful country-style food. After dining at Terry's, we feel so sad and let down at all the other breakfast joints. Worth the drive across half of Jacksonville. read more

Great "downhome" style Cafe near the airport in Jacksonville. I had a Philly cheese steak omlette that had enough meat in it for 2 sandwiches, and so tasty! Wife had corned beef and eggs with a huge and flaky biscuit. We highly recommend this place for breakfast. read more

I'm from out of town and I'm big on breakfast. Just attend the Waffle House. Not the place. Just because my pork chops were barely cut able and definitely tough to chew he said I still needed to pay no sir. But he eventually changed it to I can change it with some rushed uncooked sausage very disappointing but the pictures tricked me. Never again!!!!! read more

perfect homey little spot with delicious breakfast. our waitress was so sweet as well. anyone coming through the area, don't bother with the cracker barrel or waffle house. stop here every time!! read more

Been coming here for years. Love it. Good local place to get food. Love the breakfast options and the lunch options are great as well.

The omelettes are divine here! Server suggested fresh tomatoes when I mentioned that I didn't want carby food(ie grits, toast etc,) I appreciated that! Food is really good here and always busy and packed out. If you can get seated, its worth the wait! read more

I love this place, I always stop in before work and they are so kind and welcoming. Definitely one of the greatest dinners in Jax.

Love it. Great prices and awesome staff. Huge menu and you can customize what you want. Will definitely do it again. ....oh and the coffee is good. read more

Gone down hill since Terry left. New owner loves talking about himself. Prices have gone out of control. Long time established restaurant that may not last. Sad read more

I love trying new places and when I can I prefer to eat at locally owned restaurants verses the chain of branded restaurants, this has proven to be rewarding most of the time but there are times like this when the experience can be a little disappointing. Unlike most of the reviews here I didn't find this place to be the hidden gem I had hoped it would be, it's was definitely filled with a local crowd seemly a Saturday morning gathering place for friends and families living in the area. I honestly don't feel my experience would have been any different if I had been raised right down the road. Although the service was friendly enough and somewhat attentive and the prices were very much in line with any other mom and pop restaurants my dislikes were only in regards to the quality of the food. The coffee was pretty good and plentiful but the lack of real cream was a little disappointing, my options were the shelf stable shake well before using liquid non-dairy coffee-mate or milk offered only after rejecting the fore-mentioned. Hoping to feast on some homemade fixings I asked if the biscuits were home made my server shook her head no and said definitely no covertly in a lower tone, after looking at the rest of the condiments I decided to play it safe - eggs over medium, grits, white toast and one of my all time favorites "county ham" you know the kind, rather thinly sliced, very salty, bone-in, country ham the one that's amazing delicious especially if they also have the magical red-eye gravy to go with it - no chance this bone-in ham was thick and somewhat less than amazing actually it appeared to have been thrown on the grill half frozen and dried out and old - as important as the quality of the food is the presentation is also important, slopping some runny bland grits on a plate with two eggs and stale toast don't exactly do it for me. I got a glimpse of the kitchen staff and it looked more like a job for them than a passion so you can come to your own conclusion. I know my experience doesn't exactly reflect the opinions of most of the reviewers here and it's just a snap shot of my one and only visit and that can happen, unfortunately it was a complete disappointment.. read more

Well our always favorite place to eat now actually closes at 2:30 even though it says 3:00, yes the waitress older lady informed us quickly that they were not taking any more customers. Oh well!! read more

Great local eats! Always packed out... service is always great, very country vibe. I've never had a bad experience here in 15+ years, a north side gem. read more

I found Terry's Place when I had some time before a flight. It's a true local place where everyone seemed to know each other. My breakfast was delicious- cheese grits with a fried egg and sausage crumbles plus a huge homemade biscuit. The prices were very reasonable and the service was great. It's only 10 minutes from the airport so support this local business instead of the big chains. read more

Visited here and ate at the bar last weekend. It was a delicious classic breakfast. I loved the eggs and especially the pancakes. Can't wait to come back read more

Very good food and friendly staff. Visiting the area and stopped by for breakfast with the family based on Yelp reviews.

I came to this place because of the good yelp reviews. My waitress was nice and the food was okay. I was deeply offended by this sign on the wall that I was forced to stare at while I ate. My family and our military fought for FREEDOM, freedom to speak and learn any language that you desire. If I want to learn Spanish, Cantonese or Ethiopian that freedom is my right, maybe the ignorant should not be offended by people who want to learn multiple languages. Please take this racist sign off because many members of our military don't even speak English ! read more

I have a very specific protein order and they accommodated to the best of their ability. The food was fresh and amazing! Will come back for more, love the service is friendly and caring. read more

I can't say enough how amazing our meal was here! We went on a Saturday and they were packed! Was it worth the wait? Absolutely! Some of the best, if not the best shrimp and grits I've ever had. The rest of our meal was delicious as well. Highly recommend! read more

Food quality and portion size are not worth the money! Cooks dont wear gloves or hair nets! Save your money and stomach!

Food was amazing. Service rocked. Biscuits were just like the Cathead Biscuits from Helen Georgia!

I love this place. It has such a small town, family feel to it. Everyone is very nice and attentive. This is our breakfast place for sure! Best place on this side of town. Today was my first time to eat lunch here. My husband has been there before and always gets the Club sandwich. I couldn't decide what I wanted, so I ended up going with the cheeseburger. I was pleasantly surprised. The party was thick and juicy. The bread was fluffy and fresh (not a packaged hamburger bun). The sandwiches or burgers do not come with fries, but you can get them on the side for $1.79. The fries were crinkle cut and cooked perfectly. Oh, and the sweet tea. Perfect, just like my Big Mama's in Texas ;) Come here for breakfast or lunch and you will not be disappointed. read more

The vibes are great, it is a really nice classic American style diner and is buzzing, lively, and fun. But the food is really low quality and everything tasted sub par. My breakfast platter had peppers, onions, mushrooms and other vegetables that would otherwise be flavorful but everything was so bland and boring. Everything is fried and heavy and not healthy. The prices are great but that reflects in the taste and quality of the food. read more

Terry's is the best. It's the kind of place that you always run into someone you know. There are regulars who go almost everyday. That's a sure sign that the food is good and reasonably priced. The waitresses always greet you by name. Terry himself walks around and speaks to everyone. They always have a daily special. Sunday it's beef tips over rice and gravy. It's a large portion and delicious. The burgers and Philly steak and cheese are a great choice. There is something for everyone on the menu. I highly recommend them. read more

This place is a solid old school diner with a southern Flair! The best Bang for your Buck around these Parts. The whole family seems to be happy with the choices on this Menu that always includes some daily specials that have never seem to disappoint! The fried green tomatoes, fried okra, Ranch Dressing, and club Sandwich are some of our favorite items on the menu. So many of their dishes have signature twists that make you Crave this place for Breakfast and Lunch. Don't leave that place without Ordering a large sweet Tea to Go! read more

My all time favorite breakfast spot. This restaurant is beyond underrated because of how good the food is and how homey this restaurant is. It feels like i'm home when I step into Terrys Grill. The service is amazing due to how loving the staff is. I would bet my life savings that you can walk in without getting the sweetest smile of a welcome. Will forever love this place. read more

Great breakfast and lunch spot. Great people working there. Favorite breakfast item is a veggie omelet. Favorite lunch item is the club sandwich. read more

The best diner place on the north side of town. Food is good service is lacking just not real attentive and seem to need better training they will walk past you go do something and then come back to you. Ie... why can I get you to drink? We are ready to order oh I will get your drinks and come back to take your order" could have save her a lot of time and steps to take an order from 2 people. But it's always busy and is clean read more

Friendly staff, very clean establishment, local smiles...it's like eating at my grandma's house! They serve breakfast and lunch, and we will be going back to try the pot roast dinner. I got the loaded hash browns- perfectly crisp with a just-right portion of veg and sausage. My husband had the corned beef, hash, eggs and toast- he was very satisfied! Prices are comparable to most breakfast joints, but the local vibe tops it off! read more

Arrived from Chicago on a Saturday morning and my daughter and I were hungry. Stopped by here and it was busy. Waited to be seated for about 5 mins which wasn't bad. The waitress was excellent. The food was good as well. Next time in town I would stop by. read more
