Jakes Diner

One of the BEST DINERS IN GREENSBORO! Breakfast Lunch Dinner and Dessert is Always On Point! Jake’s Grilled Chicken Salad is a Must Have! It’s AMAZING! everything is good even the coffee LOL.

Very good food, very good value. Exvellent staff too! We went 2 mornings in a row while visiting Greensboro.

Jakes is great for late night eats with their 24hour drive thu. I had a Jake’s Breakfast platter about 3am the other night and it was great. Bacon strips, 2 eggs, grits and toast for just over $ 5. Love not having to go inside and wait like most 24 diners.

It gets 5 stars for what it is… diner food done fast and fresh. The turkey sausage is some of the best I’ve had. If you are looking for something quick and filling, this is your place.

Y’all just lost my business. This is the second time I’ve stood waiting to even be acknowledged when we walked in the door. I understand if you have a full dining room, but a «someone will be right with you,» or, god forbid, «good morning,» is a lot better than just staring blankly at the cash register when I’m three feet away, still waiting. I won’t be back for that again.

nice and coy place for breakfast, just like from my grandma !1!

Ok food… terrible service… and the drive-​thru is a JOKE… I waited 11 minutes to place my order (for a blue plate special… mind you)…& had to wait 14.5 minutes for the meal… which was wrong! Im done!

My daughter, granddaughter and I visited on a Sunday around 11 am, a bit crowed but a short wait. We didn’t know that it was a seat yourself, but it was all good. It looked larger because of the mirrors. Great wait staff and friendly and also the people. A young man in his 80’s played the violin at his table it was nice. Good was ALL FOOD AND PRICES WE GREAT.

This place has over the course of many years become a real favorite when I am in town on business. It has a diverse menu with breakfast available anytime. Friendly wait staff with ladies that call you «sweetie», honey” and «dear.» It has wifi that works. They are apparently open all the time, which means this is one of the few places to dine after a late convention meeting.
Location-​wise it’s easy to miss at it sets back off Holden Road a bit. The adjacent declining strip mall behind it I will admit creates a potentially unsafe ambience whilst walking to your car late at night, but I haven’t had any problems.
Last night I had the Bologna and cheese omelet with biscuit and gravy, and it was out of this world good. I have had their wings in the past as well, and I would recommend them highly too.
This place is far from fine dining, but it’s clean and functional and all things a good restaurant should strive to be. I am rating it high because more people need to discover this little hidden gem.

Great Breakfast 24 hours a day at a good price. It’s nothing to go out of your way for but if you are in the area it’s not a bad choice. The service, atmosphere and décor is okay. Located near the Mall.

Outstanding staff. Good amount of food for the money. Come here all the time. Breakfast lunch and dinner.

4-​star rating mostly because of the outstanding blue plate lunch specials. great price good portions good meals especially on Tuesdays. The country style steak is awesome. the wings are very good. salad bar not too much. the ingredients are fresh but there’s no ham or turkey for your salad. hamburgers are pretty generic. nothing to brag on there. most of the sandwiches of a pretty good. breakfast menu is average. but I’ll say it again the Blue Plate special is the way to go.
wait staff always great you with a smile is very friendly. most of the time are on the ball and very attentive. on occasion maybe spend a little too much time talking to a table so you may have to wait an extra minute for refill. but they’re always hustling working hard.

I can only speak to the breakfast meal which I tried yesterday. Here goes.
NO seasoning what so ever in the scrambled eggs. The worst sausage patties I ever had (tasted like seasoned sawdust) Margarine on the toast??? (ever heard of butter?)
Watered down tasteless coffee.
One of THE worst breakfasts I have ever experienced. They won’t see me again, if you can’t do breakfast… well you know.

Fun little diner! Great food and large portions, waitstaff is on the ball and prices are very fair. Have eaten at this location at least a dozen times and never a complaint! I’ve never ordered from the salad bar only because it’s very small and limited but does appear fresh and clean.
