The place had a nice calm ambiance. (Unlike most breakfast diners where it's stressful loud and crazy) The servers were all young very sweet women when I went which added to the nice environment. No jaded grumps slamming down waffles at you. Unfortunately my food...Read More

I like going to JPs for lunch. I eat mostly vegetarian and they have options for me. I love eggs benedict, and they have many. The atmosphere is pretty unimpressive, and the crowd is always cottonheads who have all day to sit there and hold...Read More

August 2023 Update for breakfast: Went again for breakfast and I would NOT recommend the Denver Omelette. The ham was largely inedible and low quality, and the omelette had WAY too much cheese. I would say choose the hash browns over the country potatoes too....Read More
