Generally no wait, servers are nice and attentive. Lots of parking and very conveniently located. Food is mediocre. I have tried a lot from the menu. Flavor profiles are consistently bland.

Unfortunately I have to give a low score because the cooks choice in using pizza sausage versus breakfast sausage for the biscuits and gravy is unpleasant

Tried Jay's for the first time the other day - great food, hardworking and attentive servers and nice ambience!
When my wife and I were getting ready to move to Kenmore we drove past Jay's several times, wondering if it was still operating or not! Oh boy, is it ever! We finally got to go to breakfast there the other day and were not disappointed. My wife's blueberry pancakes were spot-on, and my Breakfast Sampler was a bargain at $14. Sure, the $1 hollandaise tasted like ... well, $1 hollandaise ... lol! But every other element of the dish was really good! We'll be back - very soon!

Went the first time for lunch the other day. The exterior of the building needs repairs, but the food is great and the atmosphere inside is even better. I got more than I could eat for less than $20 that's with the tip included.
My favorite neighborhood brunch
Not a lot of places left like this around, and that makes the place special in and of itself. The staff is on point so you rarely have to wait and the food comes out nice and hot. Probably the best Country Fried steak and hash browns hands down. Old school classic, pretty easy on the wallet, lots of parking.
A Local Gem in Kenmore!
Jay Café is a charming, long-standing spot in the Kenmore area, and it truly lives up to its reputation. I came in for breakfast and was blown away by their French toast — it was delicious, perfectly golden, and had just the right balance of sweetness. You can tell they put care into their food, and the portions are generous for the price.
The atmosphere is warm and inviting, giving you that cozy, neighborhood feel. The staff are friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. One added bonus is the spacious parking lot behind the café — it’s very convenient and makes the visit even more stress-free.
It’s clear why this place has remained a favorite in the community for so long. I’ll definitely be back!

Little gem! Super tasty breakfast, large portions, excellent service, smooth coffee & delish chicken fried steak - servers suggestion. A real treat!
Great diner food.
It's a small town experience but the food is tasty
With all of the growth of new and trendy restaurants in the area, this is a refreshing spot, very unpretentious. Wonderful service and very much a classic "greasy spoon" down home cafe. The biscuits with whipped butter and honey are wonderful. There are breakfast, lunch, and dinner options.

Great cafe with a local hometown feel. We always have breakfast here with a rather large group, and the service and food quality are never lacking. Melissa was great and very helpful and efficient. Looking forward to our next breakfast visit.
