Jake’s Diner

Stopped in on a Saturday around 10 am while my car was being serviced up the street. It was extremely busy and I was alone so I sat at the counter. It took a few minutes to get coffee but I ordered soon after and the food was very good– omelet, biscuit and gravy. I never did get a refill on coffee.
It’s good basic food and served its purpose.

Great diner food, very reasonably priced, fast and friendly service. Hot home made chips!

Are you tired of just going to Taco Bell when you want a colon cleanser? Look no further than Jake’s Diner! The food is extra salty and it will send you to the bathroom faster than you can blink. On a positive note though, the staff is nice and the food is cheap.

I used to stop by Jakes quite often and always ordered from the breakfast menu, their pancakes, waffles, french toast and omelettes have always been pretty great to me and they do a pretty good hot wing too.
I stopped by on a Saturday and thought I’d try something different, so I went with Saturdays «Blue Plate Special» which was 2 grilled pork chops, 2 sides, bread choice (biscuit for me) and a drink. The Blue Plate Special changes daily, a different meat with the 2 sides, bread and drink. The pork chops were great, very tender with good flavor, the sides were ok, nothing really homemade, the mac’n cheese definitely isn’t homemade and neither are their biscuits.
Jakes is a great little diner, they have one other location that I know of, but never visited. Great place to get breakfast any time of the day or night as they are open 24 hrs and you can call in your order and pick it up at their 24 hr drive-​thru window… like I did my Poke Chops.

The food came to our table. The waitress was horrible. and so was the white older hostess. She was both. And saw her rude to female customers on a regular basis. Would not volunteer to do anything for us. Would walk away from us while we trying to order. All of the tables were dirty in the restaurant. We had to ask the employees to clean it up They pushed the crumbs off the table and onto the floor. Had to ask the waitress for silverware, menu, to wait on us, drinks, and food. we got drinks with ¾ ice in it. we had to remind the waitress that we not ask for ice. we had enough and left and not come back. The person who wait on us was the manager. And just said it was time to go. And tired of the waste of time spent there. The food came to the table. The orders were all wrong.

Pretty common breakfast type foods. Service was pretty good. Waitstaff was attentive. Eggs wasn’t scrambled too hard and was running. Just right. Other items I had was pretty solid. I would definitely come back and try their other items.

Delicious, hot, REAL diner food. Breakfast is great. I had the sausage gravy biscuit and crispy thick-​cut bacon (no skimpy Waffle House bacon slivers here)! It was impressive. My friend said the country ham was amazing. Also, they use real eggs (even for scrambled)! You can tell they take pride in offering quality meals, and don’t take shortcuts or use cheaper ingredients. It’s open 24-​hours and even had a drive through! This is a great diner.

I had the Philly cheese and fries. Two thumbs up. The prices are low, food is out to you very quickly and a great staff. They also serve breakfast all day which is a bonus!

I loved it and the people were so nice and my 4 year old daughter like it too. They food good I love that it’s a 24 hr place so I can go anytime and get good food

This is not a place for foodies but decent diner fare done reasonably well when I’ve been here. The daily special is a good choice and value. I will go back but not when my picky BFF is along. Tuesday country fried steak is good, pintos delish, and mash potatoes not-​so-​much. Still I return. Like most such joints breakfast is the most reliable choice.

I LOVEEEE Jake’s breakfast, it’s fast and delicious. If you’re looking for upscale go elsewhere but if you want good diner food this place is amazing. Wonderfully sweet wait staff and cheap prices. It DOES NOT get better than jakes for breakfast.

I was staying in Greensboro for business and found this 24 hour diner in front of my hotel.
The staff is very nice and southern.
The facility is clean.
As far as diner food goes it was good

I normally don’t give out one start reviews but I have had two horrible experiences the past two times I have been here. I have consistently supported this company because they had decent food and are open late, which fit well with my schedule. However, the past two times I have visited have just been atrocious. A few weeks ago I went through the drive-​thru and it took over an hour to get my food! I sat at the ordering menu for about 15 minutes before pulling forward to place my order at the window. When I finally arrived at the window it took another 10 minutes before anyone acknowledged me being there. When I asked why no one took my order at the ordering board they told me that it had been broken for a while. No apology about the wait, no sign on the board, nothing. It was HORRIBLE customer service. I was astonished!
Tonight I thought I would give them another try. I waited at the menu board for about a minute before I gave up, figuring it was broken, and moved to the window. I waited about five minutes while watching a worker drink his soda and ignoring me before I gave up on this restaurant and took my business elsewhere. Needless to say I have never experienced such horrible customer service and I will not be returning to this business.

Finally found a greasy spoon diner I have been looking for over the last several years. The food is typical diner food and very delicious and the prices are spot on for a diner. This is a go to spot for meals.

Great breakfast. Awful dinner. Pork chops were paper thin and tough.

So my 3^rd visit here they tried putting 15% gratuity for a party of 2??? Waitress didnt even check up on us once (I was a waiter for years so i know the whole system)
You wouldve honestly gotten double the amount in tip if you didnt pull a shady. Shame on you… There is no way it can be an «honest mistake».
Sadly, its discrimination at its finest. Not the first time it happened but definitely the first time expressing it.
You get the extra star for having good food though.

Was visiting Greensboro from Northern Virginia. We went over to Country Barbeque for Sunday breakfast and didn’t realize they weren’t open on Sunday, so someone local recommended that we go to Jakes.
The food was delicious! Two of us had French toast with country ham/​bacon, eggs (with cheese and onions added at my request) and potatoes. The French toast was the best I’ve ever had. Must say the country ham was a tad salty, but I guess I should’ve expected that. It was giant sized and served on a separate dinner plate! Bring your pills if you decide to get this. ;-) The other person in our group had corned beef hash with a side of potatoes, and scrambled eggs and said it was also very good.
Constant refills on sweet tea and great, pleasant, efficient wait staff. There was a long line of people waiting to be seated at about 11:00 am.

We found Jake’s on Unilocal as we were heading back to Raleigh after a weekend in Winston, and the experience was even better than anticipated. This is your typical diner with both breakfast and lunch served all day. I had the breakfast special with scrambled eggs (fluffy and delicious), pancakes (warm and airy), and sausage links (greasy and yummy) and could not have been more satisfied. The service was great, and it was clear Jake’s has a host of regulars that are known by the entire wait staff. I highly recommend to anyone in the area!

Stopped in tonight because it look like a local place. There were a few other customers as well. The staff was extremely friendly and a lot of fun and SAT and talked with everybody. I ordered a breakfast platter basically that was very very very good. I would recommend to anyone coming to Greensboro and would definitely visit again thanks!

I’m a big fan of the drive thru service. If you call it in, it is always ready when you arrive. The young ladies on the drive thru are always very friendly, and the food is always delish (breakfast). They even make sure the condiments are plentiful, and unlike fast food you don’t have to request them.
I have not had a negative experience at Jake’s yet. I have seen a crowd in the dining areas, and I would probably hit Steak n Shake up the street for late night eating because Jake’s is very popular on weekend nights.
