One of the best (maybe the best) family breakfast places near downtown. My sons wanted to give Jacks N Joe 6/5 stars. Friendly staff all around, nearly perfect American style breakfast, very clean, and a good value for my family!
Bunny was great! Efficient and personable. Food came quickly and tasted great! The vanilla butter on pancakes is wonderful! Definitely return trips in the future.
This Place is really good, just really busy on a Saturday morning. But nothing bad to report hear. Good food and good atmosphere...
Great place to have breakfast and dinner! I love the food
Watch hosts as they like to pick and choose who is called first, I waited in line to watch another group of people who arrived after me get called first. Terrible! I talked to the manager and he was just as unhelpful, would not even apologize for the staff s error and claimed I was wrong because I didn t specify what kind of table? A table is a table! Wow. I normally don t leave reviews but this one is worth noting. Terrible experience, the food was alright nothing special.
I used to be a regular customer here but moved across town. I MISS THIS PLACE. To the one or two neg reviews: If something is not right, you didn't ask to make it right.
GREAT PANCAKES - EXCELLENT COFFEE - STELLAR SERVICE
Gee what more could you ask for?
It s always a pleasure eating here. The service was prompt the food is delicious and the vibe is great.
I enjoyed the #2 which includes 2 buttermilk pancakes, 2 link pork sausages, house potatoes and 2 eggs at a moderate price.
Incredibly unique and delicious !! Pineapple mango smoothie is so fresh. Pancakes large enough to share !! Service is wonderful !! Parking not so great in the USC area. There is a wait, but it's so worth it.
Food here is very good! Almost worth the hour wait, almost. There is terrible parking at this location, so prepare yourself to park on the street. I ordered the French toast with a side of eggs and sausage and it was delicious. I tried my husband's crazy looking pancakes and they were alright. The best item was the pancakes that my friend ordered. They were fluffy, buttery, and oh so good! They just melted in my mouth. I must say, this place certainly does make great pancakes.
Awesome breakfast place. Caution: be prepare to wait about 25 mins to be seated; its worth it
Worth the 30 minute wait for a table, pancakes were amazing, fluffy texture. Omelette was good too, food came out fresh and delicious. Service was far and friendly.
awsome place. There Hawaiian bread french toast is incredible.
The food was good. Nothing extraordinarily out of the "breakfast spot experience" realm/perspective. No complaints about the food. I would give 5 stars if it wasn't for the location (which makes parking a challenge) and it is not that big of a restaurant, so for those that are not that fond of small, crowded spaces, this might not be the spot for you...or come when it is not as super busy. Even with reservations, expect a wait. Overall not bad, just don't like the location, can feel pretty cramped when it's busy or ur dining with a large party.
Great place for breakfast. French toast are amazing. Parking a little tight but over all amazing.
To many restrictions when ordering, we ask for sunny side up eggs not available, nor over easy or over medium, no orders to go. Pancakes and coffee are good.
Love this place. Food is very very good. 7 minutes in heaven is awesome. Also love the loaded hash brown. Very freidnly service. And atmosphere is great too. Highly recommended
Popular breakfast restaurant for SC and locals, most of the times a wait, parking s-cks so recommend walk, carpool or shareride...they have bancon pancakes (as in bacon bits in the pancakes!)
Excellent food and friendly staff. They tend to be busy on the weekends, but the wait was reasonable we went on a Thursday.
The food is very good and the server was excellent but the drop in stars is for one simple fact. 50 cents per 1 oz. of salsa is utterly ridiculous. I don't want to sound cheap but come on.
Definitely on the pricey side, but the service and food is always great. Drivers beware, though. Parking is non existent. Best to come on foot.
Patio seating was wonderful and cool. Assortment of high tops, large rounds and casual seats throughout. THIS PLACE IS SAFE. Everyone is wearing a mask, hand sanitizer available, single use cups, the list goes on and on but, Jack and Joe's in #COVIDSafe
Pro-Tip: Order the Combo #1 & make it a plus, that way you get pancakes and a full breakfast. (you could share this with another person but... you might be sad if they eat all of your pancakes)
Staff that helped my table: Zoen & Bunny
*At the time of writing, outdoor dining is required in California.
Very nice. First time here and it went well. A little too cold though but the food was great. The mugs were all different. I had a sandwich with egg and ham and cheese.
Great place. Awesome food and coffee. Friendly servers.
I love the food... Pancakes and potatoes are just the way I like em! They have turkey sausage as well. I always get combo #1, and my husband loves the breakfast burger! The service is always good. The reason I gave this place 4 stars is because the parking is horrendous! They wont seat your party unless everyone is there, so you cant even let someone wait for a space while you get the table. I understand it is a trendy breakfast place beside USC, so they probably expect most people to be on foot. But all in all a good breakfast place. Give it a shot. Uber if you can to avoid the parking altogether.
Service was attentive, food meh. I really don't understand all the great reviews on the food, it was mediocre at best. I had eggs, potatoes (they were good) and pancakes, and my man had an omelette and wasn't impressed.
Great breakfast, lots of unique dishes, friendly staff. Me and my wife were in town for a few days. I found this place the first day. My wife liked it so much we ate breakfast there every day. Parking is tough and your a little cramped for seating but that's just the way it is in L.A. Expect that going in and you'll be just fine.
Food is great, great service, nice environment. The only thing that sucks is 45 minute wait, but if you're not in a hurry it's worth it.
Great and unique pancakes. They do not take credit cards though.
The pancake topping were delicious with smothering them with sugar.
This has been my husband's and I favorite breakfast place. We drop off the kids and head here for some delicious pancakes! The staff is so attentive and they make you feel at home!
There was no a/c working. The waitress was a bit rude. Don't order a smoothie, but the pancakes were great. The veggie omelet was excellent.
so far so good....love the food ....but parking sucks. if you go there ask someone to drope you off and pick you up.... parking is like for ten cars only and the people waiting is like going to cheesecake factory...45 min wait
For memorable morning brunches.. just be early or else be prepared to wait upto 40 mins
They close at 2pm. But be there by 1pm. Most often there is more than 45 min waiting time. So they stop taking any name around 1pm.
great food n service get there extra early on sat n sun as the crowd will arrive...
The food was okay and the wait time for your food is extremely long .
Uhm...I don't get why this place is popular. The parking is bad, the hostesses can't manage seating and there are so many rules (mostly about things they can't do, but they flip this to make it seem like we are too needy - pardon me for wanting to share a meal with 4 other family members). As for the food - there is nothing extra ordinary about it, in fact it is ordinary. Think roadside joint. The concept: a non-chain Denny's or IHOP. My recommendation, of to The Grinder down the road, the food has bit more flavor there.
The service was impeccable, the food was hot, fresh and tasty. No complaints here.
Really cool trendy Los Angeles spot for breakfast. Food is great and service is friendly.
All ok BUT parking lot is very limited and always a lot of wait so do not hurry with hunger.
Get here early you don't want to miss this fine establishment. Everything is great! Try all the pancakes and go for off the menu loaded hash browns or the #78 burrito designed by 78 himself Khaled Holmes.
The hash browns were a little bland but the pancakes were exceptional and very filling! Highly recommend the peanut butter and banana pancakes!
The to-go brunch place for USC folks. Usually a 40+ min wait. But worth it.
Pro tip: Get a smoothie
Food is very good. We liked it we'll be returning soon
Excellent food and many choices. Escargot is to kill for.
The service was very slow. Originally wouldn't provide separate bills for each couple, but eventually did
Got a bit noisy as the place filled up
Large portions and filling, delicious food. Loved the chocolate pancakes. The waiters were also very attentive and friendly. All in all a perfect brunch place
breakfast... awesome. Arrived at six, it was not packed. Staff treated us so nice.
It is all good at Jack's N Joe! Waiters wait well, chef cooks well. All good!! A cool friendly restaurant.
Favorite place to go for breakfast. Wish I could have it at 9pm. Lol. Great staff. I always have a great conversation with our waiter/waitress. Anytime we're told it's a 45 mijnute wait we get in in about 15 min. Very on top of everything and the Totally LA is my favorite dish. Sidenote: I want one of their staff shirts.BAD. also wish they served more crepes with the order^.^
Really good food, and service. Always a joy coming here.
Best service, breakfast and experience I have ever had, amazing place keep it up guys!!!
My favorite place for delicious breakfast. I give this spot a thumbs up. It has a good interior. Menu is similar to a restaurant in Jacksonville I loved.
The fully loaded hash ..kills ..but it's not on the menu ..so ask ..you won't regret
A wonderful breakfast in LA. Seconds away from the USC campus. The food is awesome and the portions are large. The customer service is outstanding and the prices are reasonable. I really love the french toast breakfast. Definately worth visiting for a laid back dining experience.
Almost always a wait and little parking, but well worth it.
Absolutely delicious food, attentive service, and great atmosphere. I was able to split a large entree and a side with my partner. Totally worth the time and money for breakfast/brunch!
A preferred place for delicious breakfast. Service is consistently good. Bring your hunger - portions are filling.
Great breakfast spot but get there early they will have a line. By USC and downtown LA
I had the French toast. It was good but nothing out of the ordinary. A bit noisy but it's expected as a breakfast brunch crowd tends to go out to eat and talk. Service was good and they also have a secret menu that I'm told will change my mind. Stay tuned.
Food is pretty bland and seemed to be cooked in a hurry. Menu on the website is wrong. Everything is actually $2-3 more and some sides are no longer included. Not worth the wait and cost if you ask me.
My top spot for tasty Breakfast. Visited on Sat I believe. The staff was very kind and attentive. I can see why they have a lot of good reviews.
The food is so delicious and the customer service is great. It's a very cute place to come eat breakfast
usually crowded, and for good reason. good value
also amazing service as my friend and I ended up eating for free, totally unexpectedly after simply being nice to the store owner without even knowing he was the owner. just all super nice people
Excellent place to share with friends and / or family. I'll be back!!!
