Was very disappointed with no service. We were seated at our table the restaurant that was fairly empty. We sat there for 15 minutes with staff looking the other way ever time looked them because we were ready to order. Other customers came in and they had their order taken before ours. We haven't been in a while because we noticed the food had declined in quality but we decided to give it another try because we were hungry. So we left and called on the way home to let them know we were disappointed.We were met with over talking and excuses that they were short staff and no apology, all the while staff was just standing around. What happened to customer service?

I think the same staff have been there since I was a kid. And just as I remember it the older women servers are just as grumpy. But the food is awesome I just take it home. The overwhelming amount of seniors there is a bit depressingParking: Sucks

One of the best breakfasts while visiting Los Angeles??Whittier's Jacks Restaurant has been around since 1933. Old school diner feels. Google maps certainly finds these gems i never knew about. So many bookmarks, so little time?.Nostalgic feels, friendly service and the wait to get a seat here is worth it. Ordered the Meat Lovers Skillet that has bacon, ham, sausage, scrambled eggs & home fries topped with melted cheese??The side order was the best though... Biscuits with country gravy was the star of the show for me. Ill be back again when in the area??5 stars.

I don't know if my comment is of much use because in the end they never grill anything..?It turns out that I took my daughter for her birthday and I ordered the famous Jack dish that has meat and 2 eggs, the meat was very tough, you couldn't chew the cold pancakes ...the Service from the waitress who served us was quite terrible, very bad it seemed like they had her under control ??It turns out that as soon as I got home and my STOMACH HURT A LOT AND I LET GO, something that never happens to me, I miss it if I only ate the food from that place but well at the end of the day I never go back to that restaurant I only comment so that you know and take care of your health
My wife and I decided on Jacks to be our celebration dinner place. The rib eye was perfect, the meal was absolutely delicious, and we enjoyed the experience so much, my wife wanted me to call and say thank you. I did.

The staff and atmosphere were both fantastic. The staff were friendly and the style of the restaurant reminded me of a 50s diner. The only thing was while the food was ready quickly for pick-up, most of our items were missing key ingredients such as my chili-cheese omelet missing the chili and instead had green chiles.

Classic American + some Mexican diner food. We had a large group + they were extremely accommodating. Super nice, helpful wait staff. They even offered to make a custom sandwich that wasn't even on the menu! Best item ordered was the Chicken-Fried Steak + Eggs! I like how u can get biscuits + gravy instead of toast with breakfasts. Burgers were awesome, juicy + good. Long lists of breakfast items here. Also plenty of classic dinner + lunch choices like steak, pasta + of course their famous Fried Chicken!! U have to try it + you'll be in love. Plenty of parking. Just walk in. Very casual. Friendly people. 50s music plays in background whole u enjoy your visit.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options such as pasta, breakfast, salads + side dishes. They will custom-make menu items to meet your needs!Dietary restrictions: They will custom make menu items to meet your needs.

I usually Hate Menudo because the tripe feels funny in my mouth. Jack's has the only menudo I like and actually made me like
