I love this place during the week when there's no wait time! Just tried the loaded hash browns and omg! It was amazeballs! And 7 mins in heaven French toast was also bomb! Weekends the line is long but definitely worth the wait ya!
Food is great, but the parking lot is very small and can fill up very quickly.
Only the best place for some delicious breakfast! Better than, dare I say it, grandmas!
Absolutely love this place. The food is always amazing and the staff is always friendly. However, Expect a wait and limited parking.
A USC breakfast institution, this place has great omelettes, French toast, jacks & joe. Get here early as the place fills up quickly, especially on weekends.
This place is very cute!! Great food. Great experiences every time!
Nice staff, simple check in process, delicious food!
The pancakes are delicious, it's the service that isn't consistent. Sometimes they are the best servers and others are far careless of the customer service. We have also experienced a racist situation. Before a group arrived we were told we were next. 15 minutes later another group comes in (they were the same group size as ours) and they get seated. They don't accet phone reservations. Therefore, it was the host being bias to the Caucasian group.
Local cop hangout for a good breakfast. Go where the cops go and you wont be disappointed by the food. Plus it's the safest place to be in the morning!
Really good cakes. Send like a cop hangout. Figure they know where the good diner are.
If you are living on planet Earth you need to go to Jack & Joe's and try the "apple pancakes" the absolute best in the world.... best breakfast in the city.
The service was nice, no long waits and the food is delicious.
Excellent food preparation, quality ingredients, and friendly staff. Prices are just right too.
Breakfast, yeah, excellent. Don't fret if it's busy, it is worth the wait. I'll return with my friends. The bill was fair for the quality of food.
They arbitrarily decide to not do to go orders on certain days of the week without notifying you on the website or on yelp. Then, if you show up by accident not knowing this policy they will refuse to work with you. Also they can't except Credit cards apparently. This place deserves to go out of business as soon as possible. Also there is nowhere to park.
The food was overall good, but it ended up being really expensive. We paid $20 more because it we were 6 people and we had to paid another $20 for tip when it wasn t the best service. Never again!
The buckwheat pancakes are the BOMB!!! Perfectly light and delicious! The Greek omelette is amazing as well! My boyfriend had the French toast, Portuguese sausage and scrambled eggs and loved it as well! Great menu selections! Our server was super attentive and helpful as well!
Jacks and Joe was my first place I got food in LA, it was recommended to me by a ton of people and I'm glad I did. Their food options are wide for every type of tastebud, and their wait staff was also very kind and generous. They had a small chat with us instead of just walking up and asking for our order. So should I ever find my way back to LA, this will definitely be on my stop list.
J&J is an ABSOLUTELY HEAVENLY breakfast location. Arrive at 7:45 to get in quickly.the waitstaff is fantastic!
In the search for a yummy breakfast place I stumbled upon this place through Yelp! The reviews are good and the food looks great but I'm going to have to return for a second visit to really give this place a chance.
For me my visit was barely o.k. I felt the pancakes where bland and wet not fluffy, the loaded hash brown was really sad, barely had hash brown and it had no had no color and wasn't crispy. the eggs that sat on top did not look like fresh cracked eggs they looked processed. and the only thing I liked about this place was the fact that they served turkey bacon and the prices are decent and portions too but food has to taste good to they can't just get by on plating big portions.
I really want to return to see if maybe I just went on a bad day but for now my experience was just two stars because I have definitely had better.
If your a male and love to rip throat's than try the "fight on" pancakes are manly af
The food was great get there early because it is usually busy
BREAKFAST HEAVEN!!! I was in the mood for amazing breakfast "Best Pancakes in LA" and this place was at the top of the list! I saw the pictures and menu, and drooled a little bit. So I decided to try it out.
Went on a Sunday at about 1:30pm and had to wait 35-45 minutes for a table (but that's not bad!) They have a ton of chairs on the patio where you can lounge and talk while you wait. The parking lot is SMALL so you have better luck parking on 23rd near Flower and burning a few calories before breakfast.
Their staff was attentive and friendly! Bunny was a doll! She has great energy (and highly caffeinated) and very helpful. The decor inside is simple, exposed brick to give it a nice touch, small place with lots of seating.
They have an extensive list of pancakes to choose from, yet, I decided to go with the Dakine French Toast (which is made on hawaiian bread, can you say YUM!). Their JNJ potatoes are good, but nothing to write home about. The French toast was goooood and a nice sized portion!
Overall, great breakfast place, reasonable prices, and wonderful atmosphere!
I will be back for my next brunch adventure!
Very tasty pancakes and super service. Great atmosphere.
I recommend the blueberry pancakes! Amazing service and great food! A must if your are in LA!
Still as great as I remembered it. The lemon butter is soooo good and everything was great. Not too crowded for a weekday still very busy but got seated immediately. The bathroom is a little nasty I must say iimagine because they are so busy but yeah someone needs a heavier bathroom rotation schedule for cleaning. The only thing I still hate about this place which is why I havent been in years is the parking situation is screwed front and back and I always end up parking blocks away, nothing to be done but its sucks
They said they are closed from August 25-31st. They are actually closed right now until the 1st of August. I am from Dallas and I am on vacation and this is one of the spots I wanted to have for my birthday breakfast and I drove an hour from where I was staying to find out it was closed. I am sure it is probably really good. But get your stuff together!
The food was amazing. We got the pancake and french toast. And added the combo to it. Their potatoes are really good also. But if you make the trip to this place stick with the pancake and or French toast. The eags are same as every where else.
The pancakes are BOMB. Hostess was kinda mean but its always swamped get there early
Never fails for breakfast/brunch! I come here every tuesday and the staff is always friendly and knows which table we sit! It does get busy on the weekends and during prime breakfast hours so get there early!
Food was great this is definitely one of the best breakfast I had in a while. They have good customer service and food was bomb.
The brunch at this place is very tasty. There aren't a lot of vegetarian options though.
Great place for breakfast, quick and attentive service, reasonable prices. Would definitely return. Only downside is the lack of parking (welcome to LA).
Breakfast was amazing, saw them on tv and had to try them, took my whole family to this place and sure we did like it, is all fresh, had the egg Benedict and it was flavorful.
First visit. Good food, nice staff, cool looking eatery. I will visit again. Clean ingredients and healthy options. Fancy pancakes... Note, they close at 2pm daily.
Had to wait over an hour but the pancakes were amazing. Definitely felt rushed once we sat down inside, but that's understandable considering the line up!
They have breakfast all day. The food was great, service was nice. For payment they only take credit cards with a chip or cash, no Amex or Discover. Parking is extremely limited.
My favorite breakfast place! Friendly and amazing service! Food is always amazing you can't go wrong with any of the items of the menu and specially with there secret menu!!!!
The food is real good and service is nice but the wait is unbelievable. But maybe worth the wait!
Excellent food. Fantastic service. Very modern and Clean restaurant. What more could you ask for? Can't with for their microbrewery/restaurant to open next door.
Owners have done an incredible job training their staff to be top notch.
Always a pleasure going here for breakfast... Love Bunny!!! She's amazing with us especially my son.
This place is awesome. The staff is friendly and nice and the french toast is delicious .
Brilliant! 7 Minutes of Heaven....Hawaiian French Toast with Nutella, Fresh Strawberries and Banananananananananananaaaaas!!!
Hands down the best pancakes I've had in a long time. It's packed for breakfast so show up early. Parking is scarce but totally worth a walk.
Great place, service and food. Even though parking is tight, food is worth the wait.
Didn't like the food at all!! It was so plain and without flavor.. and Spence.
Food was OK, prices were OK, wait was extraordinarily long.
The parking is a little tricky, and the wait is kinda long.. But it's totally worth it. The food is really fresh and the service is spectacular. I'd definitely come back :)
Great food. The wait can be a headache and barely any parking. If you go here, expect to wait at least 45 minutes before your seated. Otherwise don't go when your extremely hungry . The staff is knowledgeable and friendly.
I was served by a young woman that was inked on her arms. I did not get her name so this is how I can identify her.
She was great. I observed how she handled the tables around me. She is an asset and most likely would be to any employer.
Best place for breakfast it's worth the wait when the line is long
This place was great. Service was great, quick and accurate, we didn't have to wait too long. As it was quite busy.
I came here for brunch with my sister last Sunday. We arrived around 8:30AM and there was already a line!! They open at 8AM! The wait wasn't too bad though. Although, once we were done, there was a big crowd of people waiting.
What We Ordered:
- 7 Minutes in Heaven French Toast
- Loaded Hash Browns (Secret Menu)
- Pudgie Elvis Pancakes
We both LOVE the 7 Minutes in Heaven!! It only comes with 3 pieces though. :( Good thing we ordered a bunch of food! The Loaded Hash Browns were delicious as well! I really liked the sauce they drizzled on top! We both were indifferent about the Pudgie Elvis...it was too peanut buttery for us. If I ever feel like waking up early again, I will head over here!
Where do I start...? First and foremost I am not from California, I flew way across the country to enjoy what I thought would have been a good experience. My family and I walked a good two miles to Jacks n Joes for breakfast. Before leaving we read on google that they closed at 2pm. We were trying to be mindful and not show up too late but no later than 1:30. In which we did make that time. When we walked up to the door, after walking in the rain and the 60 degree weather we weren't expecting when we made this trip; there was a sign saying they were closed. Since it wasn't 2pm yet we still walked in. Immediately the MANAGER expressed they weren't seating anyone else. I explained that they aren't closed so what's the issue. She then told me that there was a really long wait so they had stop taking people at 1pm. I left calmly and thought okay where to next. Then, a lady walked in after me and was seated IMMEDIATETLY. With no hesitation my family and I walked back in to question what just happened. Long story short the manager disrespected us by belittling us and talking down on us in general because we spoke up on the unfair service she provided. We then left because we weren't trying to cause a scene. However, I would not recommend Jacks n Joes to ANYONE. I can't speak on the food because I never got the chance to eat there due to the lack of service and false advertisement. But I would definitely recommend The Original Pantry Cafe, Egg Slut, and Bottega Louie hope you all enjoy.
Bad service employees talking instead of taking care of customer food to go without a bag or silverware bad attitude
Great food
My husband and I go there every Sunday morning. Usually get served by Bunny. BEST SERVICE EVER AND THE FOOD IS GREAT! WE ARE ALWAYS GREETED HAPPILY AND IT VERY MUCH LIKE HOME
Great food. Great group of servers. Highly recommended.
It s a nice place for brunch but the line is pretty long. Their food is legit.
Went on Sunday November 10th. There was a line waiting outside which is usually a good sign lol Sat at the little bar area since I was by myself so there was no wait for me. Ordered my food and I just observed. I don't know if the owners read these reviews, but the cooks you have in the kitchen are BADASS! I mean absolutely BADASS!! They were tossing out dishes like it was nothing. You could tell they knew what they were doing. Pancakes were perfect. Awesome service and I recieved my food quickly! You've got great people working for you. Will be back for sure
Love the pancakes and coffee. Perfect spot for breakfast.
