The pros are the food was really good which is unfortunate because of the bad experience. I get it it’s a cramped place but my friend and I tried moving across the bar area where we were seated diagonally from each other. To be chastised by the server because he was going to seat a couple there. Except we were there first? And they ended up moving to a different table anyway. So do what you want but Occo is much superior.

You are doing yourself a disservice if you do not come here. This place changed my life and the music is insanely good. I wish I could give it fifteen stars.

This is a wonderful restaurant with a very cozy vibe. The food is fantastic (I had the Classy Ben on their amazing home-made sourdough bread) and the staff are very attentive. Overall, I highly recommend this diner! Go there to eat and go often! An added bonus is that in the summer they have a patio open! I’m giving them a 5/5 for sure!

Excellent experience at Jax’s! Lots of options but a classic Benny, the standard and a stack of pancakes is the way to go. Service was excellent and the atmosphere. Hot sauce was delicious and must try! I would definitely go back

We visited the restaurant around 1 pm during a quiet hour.
The spicy egg was absolutely amazing, full of flavor and perfectly cooked.
The lunch burger was heavy, and incredibly delicious. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and a relaxing lunch time!

Honestly one of the worst places I have ever been to in my life. Very rude and unprofessional servers (male and female) working on November 15, 2025, at 10 AM. Very discriminatory towards people based on physical appearance/skin tone. Treated my partner and I poorly. I did not feel welcome here despite being a paying customer. I felt unsettled in this place and will not return.

It's as though they felt insulted when I stated I did not enjoy my egg sandwich (despite being asked and answering truthfully and respectfully). Simply do not ask. The female server was extremely loud (also swearing with other customers in the restaurant while having a personal conversation) and joined in on publicly interrogating me about it, despite me not requesting any changes, as I swapped my order with my partner's.

When we asked for a container for leftovers, a very small one was provided and when a second one was requested, a larger one was offered by the male server (despite being what would’ve been the most appropriate the first time). When the second one was provided the male server rudely threw it on the table (similarly to throwing a dog a bone) and made an offhand remark that they felt that a single small container could’ve contained all of the food. Both servers then refused to provide the manager's contact information when asked by my partner.

Breakfast food containing eggs is subpar (obviously subjective). Runny eggs, despite being advertised as fried, no mayo in sandwich (dry). Coffee, potatoes, and sides (fresh fruit and salad) were delicious. I came here once before to pick up a take-out order of banana bread French toast (which was tasty) and also experienced discomfort and poor treatment from a different female server (in terms of not being treated like a human being).

Bad energy overall. I literally lost my appetite while eating here today. People need to check their unconscious biases because the prejudices they have really influence their level of service, and it is extremely apparent, regardless of intention. This is also reflective of hiring practices at this establishment. Proceed with caution.

This is my absolute favorite breakfast spot. Not only is the food excellent, the service is also amazing. I feel like I'm at a friends house.

I had high hopes for this place but the cups were stains, the salmon was not fresh and the bagel had too much sauce it overpowered everything else in it. The plates look better than they taste and sadly it did not hit the mark. Service was okay.

The food was so incredibly good!! I went with my uncle and we had the Banana Bread french toast and The Rick. Atmosphere was very cozy and service was great! My only criticism is that the homefries were too salty.

Waited at least an hour for food. Service was pretty much non-existent. Food looked pretty but was very underwhelming. Would not eat here again.
