Jesse’s Diner

We eat breakfast there a lot so on Monday night we went for dinner. My husband and I both had the specials about $ 7.50 (meat 2 veggies and tea with cornbread). My husband also got an appetizer for $ 7. The waitress was no where to be found after dumping the food on the table. The food itself was good but the bill was over $ 27. I am sure she charged us for the tea but she was in such a hurry to get to her friends that came in she ran my card asked me to sign and went to be with her friends. It wasn’t till I came home that I thought about the price. I wish places like this added the ticket before you go up to pay.

This place has really good food. My husband and I have gone twice for breakfast and both times we have left satisfied. This place is nothing fancy… just a diner atmosphere with televisions but the food is GREAT!

What a fun little find this was! It was like small town, old world America meets 2016! I was eating alone, so I sat at the counter and next to me were two other eating-​alone gentlemen (all of us of different races).
The servers were all very pleasant and the owner was thoughtful to ask every customer if everything was to their liking. The food was pretty standard, simple fair. They had the classic, spinning desserts case in the corner with lots of yummy looking cakes and pies.
If you’re looking for a solid diner meal at a good price and you happen to be in the area, I would definitely consider this restaurant.

It was very good! The service was very fast and polite. I loved the hash browns and toast and scrambled eggs! The orange juice isn’t fresh I think that would have been a huge improvement but it was a very good restaurant for breakfast and fast and cheap.

My Mom always said, if the parking lot is consistently full, it must have something good inside! Typical diner set up with typical diner food and prices. Waitress are pleasant even though they were slammed. Got my normal diner breakfast of two eggs scrambled, hashed-​browns, bacon and biscuits. All was good, bacon a little to salty (if that is even possible) and the biscuits are not homemade. I feel like this place is what it is… diner food. I am not expecting a 5 star experience, I will be back for just a good diner meal.

Our first time here. My wife has noted for some time that the parking lot is always near full, which is usually a good sign with greasy spoon-​type places. We arrived and there was construction out front that made for some tight navigation in the parking lot. And, per her previous observations, it was near-​full.
It’s a «seat yourself» establishment, so we sat about mid-​room. Our table was cleared of plates but not wiped down. Nor was it ever wiped down. They were very busy and the staff was in a bit of a flurry, but after about 10 min someone took our drink and food order. The coffee is typical diner coffee. Has no character.
The menu is basic diner fare. Nothing stands out. I ordered the western omelet. The food arrived quickly after. It was tasty but a little light on filling. The biscuits were not homemade – maybe Pillsbury? The hash browns were shredded and crispy. Perfectly cooked.
Overall, an average diner with average diner prices. Pretty cozy inside and a friendly staff. If you’re looking for no frills diner grub, it’s worth a stop.

Great little diner! We took my daughters basketball team for breakfast. Service was great! The staff was super nice! The owner of the restaurant even came over to see how our food was. We sat down right away, they were very accommodating. They said they saw us coming from outside and started moving tables together before we got inside.
I don’t eat pork so it can be hard to find a breakfast spot with turkey products. They had turkey bacon! The food was delicious! They took all of the orders on one sheet and we went to the register to pay we simply told them which orders were ours. Simple way to separate the bills, and they were happy to do it!
I also ordered food to go to take back to the hotel. The order came out fast and was also quite tasty!
I would definitely go back to this cute little place!

I visited Jesse’s today for breakfast, with very high hopes because of what I had been told. I will start by saying, the service was excellent but the food, well, I’ll go with mediocre.
I chose the ultimate breakfast which was a plethora of food consisting of 2 eggs, 2 sausage links, 2 bacon strips, a piece of ham, hash browns, and toast. I also added one pancake just because I wanted to give it a try. The food was just middle of the road, with little flavor. As another member of my party stated, it was like Jesse just went down to the local Food Lion and purchased the ingredients, as nothing really just stood out. The pancake was probably the worst of what I had in that it was stuck to the plate somehow and not flavorful at all.

We went for breakfast, almost a brunch, and the place was pretty busy. The waitresses seemed a little overwhelmed. The place clearly has a lot of regulars, which is generally a good sign. The food was not bad, but nothing particularly special. I had the country ham and eggs plate and it was pretty standard. The prices were reasonable. Not sure if we’ll be back.

My husband & I just ordered breakfast here by delivery & it was really good. My country ham biscuit was delicious & not terribly fatty. The grits were creamy. The biscuits n’ gravy my spouse had were very good & he would order it again. He also enjoyed his scrambled eggs. We will order from Jesse’s again.

Using our old friend, Take Out Triad, we ordered some lunch items from this little diner, with something less than overwhelming success. The order was transmitted on line, quickly acknowledged, and very quickly delivered — kudos to both Take Out and Jesse’s for the timeliness — unfortunately the food was very ordinary in most respects.
The Chopped BBQ Sandwich ($ 5.44 with Onion Rings) was very obviously a commercially acquired product, and not a particularly good one at that. The overwhelming tastes were bland and lack of freshness. Some liberally applied hot sauce was of little help.
The Cheeseburger ($ 5.15 with Fries) was a typical «diner» style burger — rather small, but with some nice flavor. The Fish Sandwich ($ 6.04 with Hot Chips) was a rectangle of recently defrosted pressed fish flesh, which was subsequently overcooked. The Hot Chips weren’t.
The Southern Fried Chicken ($ 6.85 with salad and bread) consisted of 2 small, under-​seasoned, overcooked pieces of dark meat. This meat also was most assuredly frozen at the start of the day. The Seafood Combo ($ 12.95 with salad) was not all that bad, but very overpriced. Again, obviously frozen, the White Fish was rather thin, but not without some flavor. The Fried Shrimp, which were in no way identifiable as shrimp by their shape, were actually very tasty. The salads were nice, the biscuit was not.
They serve 3 meals a day here, and I understand that breakfast is very good. I’ll have to try that.

I visit here maybe 2 – 3 times a week. I go for the Breakfast special. They always make my eggs perfect. The rest of the food is always good as well. They keep the background noise to a minimal level. It’s just nice to know I have found a great place for a consistent, quick, and easy meal without all the hassle. The service is pretty stellar. I don’t think I have found a place that gets your food quicker unless it was already sitting up? If you are on the fence about it, my advice try it you won’t know what you’re missing until you go and try it. Get a TouchTunes Jukebox and you may get another star.

The waitresses are worth stopping in. The food is just typical diner food but they do take care of you… no rushing anyone to leave. I wish Jessie would add real Cuban dishes since he is Cuban. A little black beans and pulled pork over rice with fried plantains would go a long way… just saying.

Breakfast here was perfection. Everyone who works here was friendly. The ribeye steak was tender and the hash browns were crispy. The pancakes were tasty. You won’t be disappointed!

My husband has been telling me for weeks to try this place out. He likened it to the old Green House further up High Point Rd. I finally got a chance to eat there today and ordered the daily special of meatloaf with my choice of macaroni and cheese and fried okra (with gravy on it because it’s so yummy that way). The meal also came with a biscuit and a drink for $ 6.75. I’ve always liked meatloaf but never been able to decide whether I like gravy or ketchup on top. At Jessie’s I didn’t have to decide because it was gravy with just a hint of tomato in it. It was like the best of both worlds. Their mac and cheese was nothing special but still good nonetheless, and there was a heathly serving of large pieces of fried okra. Jessie himself walked around and checked on all his patrons, which was nice. The interior of the business is simple– tables, booths, and a small bar area with a television. The food really did remind me of the Green House, which I miss, so I will definitely be going back.
