Honest Opinions Matter

Omg I'm so glad we finally got to try them out! Skip Clark's Janies has better quality and better service hands down. Thank you for the wonderful breakfast and great service! We will be regulars for years to come!

This is such a cute little diner. We met the owner and she is the nicest person. The breakfast was very reasonable priced and tasted great (made my bacon extra crispy as requested) The coffee was bottomless and the atmosphere was what you would hope for in a classic diner. A+ to Janie and her team.

The food was good. We waited an hour and a half for our breakfast on a late Sunday morning. There were 6 people in our group. We were told by the locals that this isn't the normal wait. We were not told of the reason for the delay. We were not offered any reduction in our bill for the inconvenience of our long wait. We probably won't ever go back to this establishment.

Thought I'd get out of the QC and try Janie's Riverview Cafe. It was seat yourself. So, I pick the only table that was cleaned off. And the table was still wet. So, I asked them to wipe it off. I ordered my food and when it came it looked delicious. And it was. The real problem was it seemed the waitress wasn't very attentive. Maybe she was overwhelmed by the amount of customers. She seemed to be the only one waiting on tables. The food was a solid 5 out of 5. Service needs some work.

Made the drive to Janie's to get a slab of their smoked BBQ ribs. Can totally say it was worth it! First off, the staff there are friendly as can be. I loved meeting their "mascot", a wonderfully charming tripod doggo named "Rizz." After some nice conversation with the dog's owner, we took our ribs home to eat for dinner. They were some of the meatiest and most flavorful ribs I've ever had! Meat was cooked perfectly and came off the bone in mouthfuls. Great investment as the slab served as dinner for 2 evenings and lunch on a 3rd day. Can't recommend these highly enough!

I got the full order of The Works. It was hot, fresh and amazing, but so much food! I know enough to get the half order next time and I bet I will still take 1/2 of that home. The owner knows how to take care of her guests.
