One of the best diners Ive ever been too! and the oldest in JH! We came on a Sunday morning and had to wait a few minutes for a table of two.
Our waitress was a doll and had a smile on her face the entire time. I had the western omelette and he had the pastrami sandwich. Both were phenomenal! Nothing crazy but just simple, straight "clean" eating. They didnt OD on the cheese on my omelette, the home fries were cooked perfectly, and his pastrami had the perfect amount of mustard!
We topped our meals off with a coffee egg-cream and a chocolate egg-cream. This place feels so homey!
Ive waited too long to visit. Put it on your list!
I'm giving this little gem of a diner a 4 out of 5 stars, the 4th star is purely for aesthetic reasons. I felt as if I was transported to another time in NYC where you could still find a diner in a Pharmacy and called people behind the counter Soda Jerks.
I couldn't bring myself to order their very enticing ice cream/malt drinks because I was really looking for lunch but I did try their 10 oz cheeseburger deluxe and onion rings, which were good!
I may be back…. I've got Brooklyn Farmacy to hit up for their milkshakes and ice cream before I come back here but I'll make sure to report back on their desserts if I do!
I really like the vintage look of this diner. It's an easy-going atmosphere and the typical diner fare comes with. But the mood is special because it's definitely a place that is stuck in time, but in a timeless, and nice way. It feels like a mom and pop eatery and the service is very friendly.
Not too bad! Came here for breakfast today around 11AM. There was a wait, but my friend and I managed to get 2 free seat at the counter right away. I ordered fried eggs with sausage, and it came with toast and potatoes. The potatoes here are reeeallly good! They are fried pretty crispy and browned. YUM! The sausage was a decent portion, and wasn't even close to eating everything.
Over all–big portion, standard diner price, okay service.
They have a large menu, and a big place. The service is kind of slow but OK. For the food, we found their main dishes just so so, but the sundaes are really impressive.
If you want a Family establishment and cheap food you have reached Jahn's. If you are looking for some good quality ice cream or other delicious desserts then wow have you come to the right place.
Normally when you go to a diner you get your basic flavors strawberry, vanilla and chocolate. Not here!!! Here you have a choice of vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, coffee, butter pecan, cherry vanilla, pistachio, vanilla fudge, chocolate chip, mint chip, sherbet. I recommend the Pistachio or Strawberry simply because they both have their respected pistachio nuts in them and real strawberries. I can even explain how delighted I feel when I taste this ice cream. But enough about the ice cream lets move on to the food.
THE FISH IS TO DIE FOR Especially the BLUEFISH. They have a special where you get the blue fish with soup to start, the main meal, then coffee and ice cream. Lets just say for a group of 5 of us the meal came out to $70. Considering almost all of us got seafood that is a fantastic price. They make their broccoli crispy and it isn't mushy like most diners have it. The carrots are made well as well as their mashed potatoes. I didn't have any french fries but from what I can tell everyone seemed to enjoy them. They made their penne pasta al dente with grilled chicken and broccoli very well. Their prices are so reasonable and you would never think that they are considering how much other places charge. You have to make sure you order off the SPECIALS BOARD IN THE FRONT because that deal is not on the menu itself.
::::::BATHROOM ALERT:::::::
No complaints here. I was really happy to see they take care of the bathroom considering this have been around for awhile.
Now on to the workers. They are very friendly and help you out. It seems like everyone who works there is bilingual spanish. I like that after we ate the main meal we were asked how the food was. Don't you just hate it when your server asks you while you take a huge bite out of something and your mouth is full? Well thankfully our waitress didn't do that.
Lastly, when we received our coffee I was extremely happy because it really is good. I like that they have a choice of 4 different types of sugar on the tables. Splenda, Equal, Sweet & Low and Regular Sugar. I choose regular sugar but the people in our party were pleased there was splenda.
TIP:::::::: IT IS VERY HARD TO FIND PARKING SOMETIMES IF YOU WANT TO COME HERE BY CAR.
We enjoyed coming here. I had the chicken souflaki which was good. My daughters had the Italian omelet and the other one had a spinach n feta omelet. Everyone seemed to be there for breakfast. The ice cream was definitely homemade. The mint chocolate chip was great with big chocolate chips in it. The only thing that disappointed me was I thought the renovations would more. The panel walls were there and seemed they just change the fixtures of the lights. I thought it would be more 50s looking and brighter.
This diner is a time machine back to a simpler time when you'd take the family to the diner for breakfast, or a father would take his son for an ice cream sundae at the counter. Jahn's used to be a chain but this is the only remaining outpost or so i hear. They have the old school stained glass lamps and fixtures.
What did you come here for? Oh yeah, the food. Well, really it is your typical NYC greek diner. No gourmet experiences to be had here. However, it is a perfect place to read your newspaper on a sunday morning with 2 eggs, hash browns and a cup of coffee. Highly recommend.
