“ Great little diner with some really good solid food. Breakfast all day if you're a late sleeper or you get in later than expected. Classic benches inside. Family run business. Self serve coffee which isn't the greatest. Just a normal cup of joe. No bling. Home fries were spot on. Plastic plates and silverware to cut down on the overhead. I get it. Prices are really reasonable. Great people. Owner and wife are high school sweethearts so they have seen it all. Owner I believe was the cook. Don't ask. He has a board in the back that explains all the 50 fun facts about him and who he is. Good stuff. The only reason why I gave a 4, CASH ONLY. DOESNT MAKE SENSE WHEN YOU HAVE ONLINE ORDERS AND NO CREDIT CARDS IN STORE. ITS THE SAME THING. ”
“ Went looking for a better breakfast option than a casino breakfast this morning and a local pointed me to City Jake's Cafe. Great recommendation. Quick, easy and delicious counter breakfast. Loved the counter person and cook, very nice people. Wish I could've stayed around today I would have come back for lunch too! ”
“ Walked in and was instantly greeted! Ordered "The Big Jake" with a side of onion rings. The food was hot & fresh. And the environment was clean and friendly. I will for sure be back multiple times!!!! ”
“ Always great . And jake is funny as hell My absolute favorite on the menu is the western . ”
“ Little place you probably would not notice off the beat and path. The breakfast was served hot and the sandwich was delicious! The fries were not cooked long enough and were crunchy. I ate the potatoes off my hubbys plate and they were good. He got the Beat the House sandwich and it was tasty and properly cooked. ”
“ Great diner! All the breakfast plates and sandwiches were hot and tasty. Nice hostess and funny ball in chain bathroom key. ”
“ Delicious breakfast, great customer service, and out of this world corned beef hash! Hot, fresh, and fast! ”
“ Well here is a great little example of a good old fashioned and friendly little cafe. Immediately upon entering I received a hearty welcome from the owner/cook. Breakfast served all day. The decor is reminiscent of the old diners that were spartan but clean. Various awards and trophies line the walls. A menu board lists the options and you place your order at the counter, pay a very reasonable price, and have a seat at a booth or counter and wait for your hearty meal! I had a made to order omelette with corned beef hash, potatoes, toast and coffee for $10. If you leave here hungry, it's your own fault! Back again for lunch. Awesome! ”
“ I just have to give it five stars despite the fact that Info Wars was playing on the TV. My food does go down better without a side of politics. However, the guy that took our order and cooked our food was super friendly. He welcomed us to coffee and told us to take our time deciding. I ordered a number 1 with bacon on an English muffin... Hubby ordered a philly cheese with fries. The whole place is a cool little retro diner style joint, with stools and booths. They aim to please and seem to do a pretty good business. We heard our man taking delivery orders on the phone (for local businesses) and there was a steady flow of customers in and out. And the food was excellent. I'm from NY and know a good egg sandwich, and this was worth the metered parking and two block walk on this sub-zero-degree day. I'd come back here in a second if I lived in the area or visited again. The egg sandwich was perfect and my husband truly enjoyed the philly cheese. He even commented "this is a place with old grill grease and you can taste it!" (That's a good thing!). The fries were soooooo good! Was the perfect way to start our day before heading off to the Springfield Museums! ”
