The portions are huge. I had ham and scrambled eggs with a biscuit and real hash browns. I added crispy bacon. Everything was served as requested. My wife also had the ham and scrambled eggs. They are very generous with the ham! My wife ordered the scone; brought back memories from 30 years ago. The waitress never let our coffee get below half. We arrived at 10:24 and were seated immediately. The place was full. We had coffee within a minute. We waited 30 minutes for our food, it was well worth the wait!!

Two of the most important things in a restaurant is the environment that you dine in and service. Jeri's nails both. This place was super clean, even the bathrooms, spotless. The service very good without a doubt. The food was average and the serving portions large. Get the carmel roll sometime and split it with someone.

It was my first time dining at Jeri's Jumbo and I would return. I had the half size Cowboy Benedict and shared a cinnamon roll with my husband. Both were good but had some small missteps. The hash browns weren't cooked to crispy and the gravy wasn't super flavorful. I really like the flavor and texture of the cinnamon roll, the portion was huge, I ordered a half size and it still filled my entire plate. Service was good and it was very clean especially for a diner.

Jeri's Jumbo Cafe has a very welcoming feel. Hilarious quotes on the walls and attentive staff. Order included the western omelet with hashbrowns and sourdough toast. The 2nd order was one meat omelet with bacon as the meat, brown gravy on the hashbrowns, and a scone. The food came out and my sister is highly sensitive to pepper. She took a bite and said it had some kick. I tried it couldn't taste any kick. She tried again and said it was too spicy so we ended up switching food. I liked the bacon omelet and there was a slight kick in the middle of the omlet.

Great atmosphere, good service and really inviting. I could not finish my meal because the servings are amazing and kind of big. Not complaining at all. Will definitely be returning. Highly recommend.

Fun cafe! The biscuits are not traditional round biscuits, but a sheet pan style. I’m not a fan of them and wouldn’t call them biscuits, but the rest of the meal was good.
