We had a great meal here. Mariano took great care of our family! Everyone got something they liked. The croissant French toast for my daughter, custom omelets and biscuits and gravy. Everything was hot and delicious. We especially loved the salsa! Definitely recommend eating here!

Kid-friendliness: The portions were great for my daughter!

Unfortunately, the "Famous French Toast" was an absolute bust. This dish was nothing but two small croissants cut in two with powdered sugar on top and toasted on the grill. It was served with fruit which was a small cup of selected pieces of cantaloupe. Extremely disappointing. Fifteen dollars for that!!
To call it famous is a joke. The place is nice, the service is good, but the food is marginal. We may have picked the wrong thing, but we had the Gravy and Biscuits last week and it was a disaster as well. The major problem to us is that the food is not served hot. It is lukewarm by the time it gets to the table. Two efforts is enough and we will not be back.

Mariano was amazing, he was very attentive and made us feel more than welcome. We loved our experience so much we made sure to come back one more time before we left town. Food was delicious and prices were reasonable. If we’re ever in the area again, we’ll make sure to visit JT’s.

Kid-friendliness: They offered small cups and size appropriate straws (which is so rare). Cute coloring pages and crayons offered for each kiddo. The menu for the kids was short but had good options for all the kids in our party.

$85 for breakfast for two is a bit ridiculous. Will not return. Breakfast consisted of steak and eggs with coffee for one, and eggs bacon, pancakes and tea for second one.21

Ordered huevos rancheros (with scrambled eggs) got scrambled eggs on top of 2 corn tortillas. No sauce, no cheese, no tortillas on the side, had to ask for salsa. Not at all a traditional Huevos Ranchero. Service was great however.

The food is freshly cooked when you order it. The service is good and quick. The waitresses are friendly and patient about explaining the food on the menu. It's American-Mexican food served in a 50's looking atmosphere. The counter seating and booths were comfortable. The music is low and enjoyable from the 80's. The food is well cooked and tasty. I had a BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger, medium-well, and that's how they cooked it. Spinach mushroom, egg and cheese, and fruit. Love the little signs hanging around the diner. They have a NY attitude about them. Eat here, 'cause it's good.

Vegetarian options: Spinach mushroom Scrambled Eggs. Very tasty.
