gross food, poor service!!

This place is amazing! People are super friendly, lots of locals seem to come here. Many of the guests know the servers by name meaning they have a large repeat customer base.Portions are generous for a reasonable price and service is fast. My chicken fried steak was wonderfully made!

It was the first time for all of us to go to Jenny’s Café on the Saturday before Mother’s Day. They were so busy, about a 20 minute wait before they could seat us. The waitresses were so nice, they were ‘up’! Our personal waitress was an absolute gem, she was fast, efficient and personable. (We left her a big fat tip!). Everyone agreed, there was four in our party, that we would come back here again and again!! If I could, I would give them a 10 star rating. Signed, ‘ A really satisfied customer’!! ??

Most expensive coffee ☕ in the Pacific Northwest! $4/cup!?!? Nice homey antique atmosphere, waitresses are very nice, military ?️ discount for my fellow veterans, the food is reasonably priced, and the best touch of all is that they love their customers enough to serve ketchup that doesn't have high fructose corn syrup in it. For me, it lessens the blow of $4/cup of coffee ☕! ?

We had breakfast there today. We ordered the chicken fried steak and was very disappointed. It was tough, dry and dark by overcooking it. Could only eat a portion of it, we mentioned it and was told it had to be cooked to a specific temp which we understood but the cook went way past that point. We even took the chicken fried steak home and the Dog would NOT even eat it and that's never happened before. The other food, including the hashbrowns( very disappointing) was very bland. No discounts offered either for the disappointing food. The waitresses were awesome and very nice.

I feel for the greasy spoons around here like Jenny's, because most all of them would be an absolute local for me if I didn't like trying new places. I was back here in the ol' Urbanspoon days--and it's just as good as it was then. Me likey consistency. Very generous BLT for me, and the Tortilla Chicken soup tasted very chili-like. Not a bad thing with this guy, and it was filling for a side cup. Son's Reuben looked good, but of course I got none of it, etc. These folks know their tater sides. Over the years I've had every potato product here, and they get it right. Solid base to start off with, for any main breakfast or lunch dish. Nice ladies in there, as well. Hello again, Jenny...

great food and friendly atmosphere .

First time here and my first thoughts were "what a wonderful place"!We sit at our table and all you hear is a waitress using her "outside voice" talking to another worker about how far behind she is on her bills and about getting this or that shut off due to being so farrrr behind.... holding the conversation across the building and into the back.This alone ruined the experience ?My wife and I will be back for another try. The food was good and the menu extensive!

You know I have had a complaint or two about a place before, but this one definitely takes the cake. Their prices were high. My husband didn't know the coffee was about $4 each. My husband ordered chicken fried steak that came with sausage gravy and I ordered a chicken omelet that came with sausage gravy and biscuits the total bill for it was over $36 plus tax and tip. But the really bad part was the taste of the sausage gravy. It was orange in color and didn't taste anything like sausage gravy. It tasted like old cooking grease and whatever the meat was is anyones guess. Totally gross and I've never said that about any food that I've ever had out before. I couldn't eat it. My husband said the same thing about it. I think they forgot to add cheese to my omelet. Tasted very dry and I couldn't keep anything on the fork unless I separately poked it on with the fork. My husband wasn't sure what kind of meat they used for his chicken fried steak but it was a nice large piece a meat but nothing like any chicken fried steak he has ever had. We both agree never again.I hope if they read this they will go check and find out what real sausage gravy is and also chicken fried steak. Sad thing is we went there because it was rated for stars and we find that most small cafes do a great job with great prices. I'm really sad to be having to post something like this.

My first time at Jenny's and the place is delightful. We arrived close to closing time and we were seated promptly and served a tasty and substantial meal. I had taco omelet and my companion had bacon and egg. I recommend this cafe.
