Jacks N Joe Review

Pancakes were great & bacon nice & crunchy. Went at 7:30 and sat at the bar. No line, jus me, and stayed until my next meeting. My server was very nice, with recommendations and compliments.

Great food every time! The parking situation is the wosrt though!!!!

This place is over priced waiter don t come and check up on they just drop the foood don t come here unles u want to pay 10 dollar for pancakes

The food its good the waiters so nice I'll definitely come back

My fav spot for delicious Breakfast. staff treated us so kindly. the place has a good atmosphere.

They do not accept any card without chips!!!!!!! I had to withdraw money from the 711 nearby by my credit card. The food is not tasty too. Don't try the veggie dish ever.

Not much parking, long wait to be seated for weekend brunch of course, very reasonable prices, great variety and quality of pancakes!

The food was overpriced, bland & portions small for what you recieve. If you want "real" breakfast go to the Pantry.

breakfast at this location - excellent. this location is absolutely outstanding. looking forward to going back again. the place has an awesome atmosphere.

Don't be put off by the unwelcoming/unfriendly message telling you everything that they don't want and won't do at their discretion..and the fact that they don't pick up the phone. At the end of the day the food and service is great and that's why I'm giving it 5 stars. It is best to park behind the building on Flower Street as a front is packed.

I have to say I am so disappointed! Drove over 60 miles in traffic to get here as its my favorite breakfast spot! Also had my family from Florida meet us there since they were out visiting. Before going there, I went online and saw that they would be closed at the end of August. When we got there, the sign said they were closed at the end of July. What a bummer!

Great breakfast options, friendly staff with a modern appeal

This place is amazing. You really can't go wrong with anything. One thing you must try are the Ruby Belle pancakes.

No parking. Service and setting was nice. Food was average.

Great coffee great pancakes great service. Definitely recommend.

A fav location for Breakfast. Good place to relax and unwind. The staff was friendly and sociable.

The food is pricey but delicious. It's worth it. Parking in the other hand SUCKS.... Get there early.

Great Breakfast. The decor is industrial chic. There are so many choices of pancakes. The parking is awful.

Food was great service aswell but hot out side . Would nice with a mister and a fan

Amazing pancakes. Great fast service. Expect about a 30 minute wait but it's well worth it.

Friendly service. On the right day at the right time the service is incredibly fast.

Good food. Long lines. Don't forget to put your name down for a table. Prices are fair

Not many places in this area open for breakfast, so Jacks gets slammed!

Great food. I usually have some version of an omelette, though the seasonal peach pancakes are my favorite.

Pro tip: unless you walk there, park behind the restaurant. The front lot is an exercise in frustration.

Pro tip: reconsider Sunday morning, big crowds from the church across the street

Came in here today(Friday), and the host says I can't order anything to go cause it's the weekend. You guys definitely lost a customer. Keep in mind, that I have been here before on a Friday and have ordered take out.

Had a terrible experience at this restaurant. Took a group of co-workers there. They all work in schools and have a very tough job as school social workers and wanted to treat them for breakfast.

The hostess wouldn't seat us until all of our party was there. I get that. I see that that is common practice in a lot of restaurants. That wasn't the issue. I asked if I could wait for my party having a cup of coffee at the counter and was told that I couldn't.

What?!

I told the hostess that she could ask me to move if a party came in and wanted that counter seat. The answer? "No, because then we have to clean the counter."

What?!

So we got seated when my party got there. I wasn't sure if another co-worker was going to be able to join us and she came in later. They refused to take her order saying that that meant that we would take up the table for more time.

What?!

I have never had this experience at any other restaurant. When I went to speak to the manager and asked if whose policy this was. He said that it was his and it was his place. He said that they try to keep things flowing which I understand. The place seems to be very popular. But if you are trying to keep your customer base happy and keep it as a community hub, you don't treat people like this.

I will never go back. I was approached one more time, BY A 2ND MANAGE (WTH??) to be told the policy and that they'd be taking my coworkers order "this one time"..... after it had already been made clear to me.

I was being infantilized was being spoken to with some real condescension. I understand businesses are hard to keep afloat these days, especially restaurants but this is no way to treat customers, especially first timers.

The food was good. I'm not sure what all the commotion is about. The only thing that I can think of is that there aren't many breakfast places around here or anything similar. That means that the community has to deal with whatever rude business owner decides to take that risk.

I, for one, believe that businesses should be a part of the community and should be a place where community members feel welcomed. That was not the case here.

Great fast service,best pancakes so far in Los Angeles,good food

Like the famous potatoes and the coffee is great. Just wished they my veggies were well sauteed for the omelette or add some salt on them for better taste. Good prices. Good service and love the coffee mugs !

Great choice of breakfasts. Top notch diner coffee.

This place is awesome! Great food at a great price. My French toast and my husband s omelette were so good! Our server was super busy and very good at keeping up with everyone s orders and refills. There s a parking lot (fills up quickly!) and street parking pretty close. The wait was as they estimated for us. On Saturday around 11:30, we waited about 30 min for a table for 2. Highly recommend!

Great place and food, long line on the weekend brunch. The pancakes are the best!!

Woohoo! Loved it. The pancakes were delicious and the order was made for two. The eggs, potatoes and everything else was served hot. The place is kind of small so you may have to wait for a table, but its personal. The staff is personable and make you feel welcome.

Now for the parking. The parking is so limited that it feels like there are 2 spots for the entire restaurant. And mind you, if you dont want to get towed, DO NOT PARK IN THE 7-11 PARKING LOT
Jack's n Joe's is a keeper.

The CV Critic

Portions could be bigger but the quality is usually good. Staff is super friendly.

Great Menu and Prices The Pancakes Are Good They Make you Want Come Back Again and Again

Went expecting a gourmet breakfast. I received dry French Toast and under cooked sausage. The manager or owner acted like the under cooked meat was my fault therfore he didn't want to deduct the price of the sausage from my tab. The reviews are over rated use caution.

Jacks n Joes! Drool drool drool! Get the loaded hash browns with avocado, chipotle mayo, medium egg & their banana walnut pancakes....make you wanna slap your momma!

Good food however it's small inside and very limited parking.

They have a "secret menu" which is intriguing. I ordered a sausage, bacon, hashbrown burrito off the secret menu and it was huge! It cost less than $8, too, which is a bonus. Strong Coffee made this breakfast quite enjoyable!

Great food, with very resonable prices. Fast service once seated. Parking is a pain though.

I ve been here before and was ok and today I asked for over easy eggs and they came back overcooked and asked waitress and she said they are ok they are over easy in the inside and management had a face when I asked her to accommodate me never again will go there

Waited for a whole hour to be seated after being told i would be seated in 30 minutes. Guests who came after me were seated right away even as i saw tables were being opened others were seated until i told the waiter 3 times. Her reply was your next each time. Limited menu. I got served raw potatoes as well.

Good coffee and pancakes. Gets busy for brunch around weekends.

Amazing banana pancakes! Great coffee. Friendly staff and good background music. Large portions at a reasonable price, with a clean comfortable atmosphere. This is my favorite breakfast restaurant near USC and downtown Los Angeles. Be prepared for a wait, and parking issue during prime time hours.

Good breakfast except they cheap out on refilling ketchup bottles with the cheapest they can find. YUK. Pinching pennies shows they care more about maximizing profit then the customer. Not going back.

Horrible... after a long wait, the food was so bland, not worth it at all!

Awesome service, beautiful restaurant. Waiting for a table often takes a while, but the food is totally worth it. Great coffee, pancakes, even omelettes. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. And the servers do a great job at accommodating for what you need.

Love the food! Cheap and delicious food. Parking in the back as well as the front.

Awful place; unattentive; unappreciative; poorly prepared food.

Good coffee with unusual and really tasty breakfast options. We really enjoyed the California crepe and what was basically breakfast nachos...super special and delicious & healthier than it sounds given all the veggies in it! Nice and smiling staff as well:-).

Food was ok but I'm not a fan of places that openly support killer cops.

It's ok. Food is good, the atmosphere is good, but the parking is horrible. There is a secret menu, ask the waiter about it.

Classic American brunch. Good food and service. But there's not a lot of parking.

My favorite place for Breakfast. i'll return with my coworkers. food is like a restaurant in louisville i liked.

It's a casual quick bite place with wonderful food and servers that really hustle. One downside is limited parking but, it's worth going. Outstanding pancakes (Jacks) and coffee (Joe).

Love this place
The waitress are awesome
Wtf? Plate is delicious

Food is healthy, delicious, environment simple, super clean and friendly, energetic staff.

There was hair in my food and when I asked for a new plate they charged me for a new one and the prior one with hair.

BEST blueberry pancakes!! Service is always friendly and fast.

Best pancakes in the greater USC area. Go on a weekday, skip the wait.

Real busy place and food was just okay. It's a trendy spot and I'd probably visit again just for the lively atmosphere but not really for the food.

The food was exceptional!! Visiting from Tulsa Oklahoma and needed something to eat before heading to the garment district. Food and service was the best. Only downside........Wanted a t-shirt but they were sold out.

This place is a little pricey, but is so worth it. The wait is worth it
