Love this little diner! Staff is attentive, and food comes out hot and delicious every time. It's also great for takeout. Parking is scarce on site but it's doable if not too busy. Word of caution that the entrance is tight - up a few steps and through two doors, and it is not wheelchair accessible. It's our go to neighborhood diner!
What a DELIGHT this place was. Jack’s Diner is owned by Wilfredo Ruiz, an immigrant from El Salvador. That guy is the best! The Albany Times Union did an excellent write-up on him in 2018; it’s worth a read. Wilfredo started a Mexican and El Salvadorian menu in addition to the standard American diner fare.

Today was my first time trying Jacks Diner and I must say I should’ve tried a long time ago, excellent ambiance, food and service! Very comfortable with a convenient location, and you can’t beat the prices at all I highly recommended giving it a try.
