Recommended dishes: Biscuits and Gravy, Egg Meat Omelette
I had one of the worst dining experiences in memory this morning. I was told to seat myself anywhere and chose a small booth in the upper dining area. It took several minutes for anyone to acknowledge me and then several more to get my coffee, in the mean time, the servers were bickering about the fact that my actual server would be mad someone else was helping me. She brought me my coffee anyway. After several more minutes my server came up take my order and apologized for not seeing my sit in her section despite being the one that told me to sit anywhere. I ordered a hearty biscuits and gravy and a waffle, which i waited nearly 20 minutes for, and when they finally arrived, they were both cold. Not a single time was i asked about my meal. Extremely unprofessional environment serving cold mediocre food was all i gathered from this place. It's very unlikely I'll ever go back. Worthless.

I have been going to J & L breakfast house sense I can remember and won't be back until the cook position changes hands. Today this place only gets 1 star and would get negative stars if it was an option. As always, I always eat the same thing when I go in there which is the western omelet, wheat toast, 2 sides of bacon, hash browns extra crispy. Nothing was good about any of it today. The egg omelet looked fine on the outside but tasted funny so I unfolded it to find that the first side to touch the grill was burnt and that side was rolled to the inside so it couldn't be seen and burnt eggs just taste bad. Now we all know the difference between hash browns and potato cakes. These hash browns came today, brown on the outside and mush on the inside, and flat like they had been smashed down with a spatula. The wheat toast came over toasted, and hard as a rock, and didn't even look like it was buttered, and had to ask for more butter, and more jelly. Why do they think just one of those little jelly tubs will cover two slices of toast, it barely covers one slice. The bacon at this place appears to be precooked ahead of time and is cold and hard as a rock. The only thing that had any temp to it today was the coffee. The sign taped to the register says the tips go to the cook and when ask about a tip I said not if it's going to the cook, so no tip today.
Iāve been to a lot of places for breakfast. And by far this is thee worse place atmosphere wise. There was a child that was absolutely outta control. The parents didnāt help by laughing at everything he did. Everyone was obviously annoyed and the servers and staff donāt even bother helping the situation out. Didnāt even try the food. But the inside has a smell of a casino that just wouldnāt go away. Canāt enjoy food with smelling cigarettes. Iām sorry but I just wouldnāt want anyone going through what I did.

J&L Breakfast! I want to start by saying the three stars I'm giving this restaurant isn't representing the entire menu or prices. I would really give it 31/2 stars if I could, but I feel I would need to go back for another time to up the stars.
The prices are pretty darn good for what you get! I had a breakfast platter of two eggs, toast, bacon, has browns and pancakes for only 8-9$! That's gooood! The service was great! No complaints. I didn't like the very quiet room though, aside people chatting, it was weird! It could be because we were in late morning for breakfast? But a little soothing music would have been nice!
The food, while plentiful, was a little bland. I definitely understand salt and pepper was available but the hash browns were terribly bland, like almost tasting like water. The pancakes were not the best, but okay, and the bacon while I love thick slices, were a little too greasy? Like I was tasting grease and bacon if that makes sense. If the pancakes were done right, everything else could be overlooked easily ha. I also understand everyone's preferences are different so it's hard to find that middle ground.
I'm sure there is more to this nice place than what I had so don't take this review too hard, I've only been here once! I'll update when I revisit! And again great service!

Great little gem, wonderful food. I highly recommend stopping by and checking this place out. I have stepped in and they are not very busy and I have stopped in and they are extremely busy. Either way it's worth the time to check them out.

I work at the gas station on the corner of 38th and after a year decided to try this place out. Waitress offered me ādessertā so I took her offer and it was the best dessert I have ever.
