Consider this a rave review! On Tuesday morning (4/14/15), our breakfast was delivered quickly, and everything was delicious and appetizingly presented. (The Santa Fe Scramble with wheat toast for my boyfriend and the Denver Scramble with pancakes -- and real butter! -- for me.) Our server was efficient and remained friendly despite putting her off from taking our order numerous times. All the choices were so tempting, it was hard to choose! She paid attention to our needs without ever hovering, so she earned a healthy 20% tip. I later added a side of bacon to my order, requesting they make it crisp. Most restaurants can't be bothered to cook bacon to my taste. Even when I do specify "crisp and dry", they still tend to bring me floppy, fatty bacon, which I detest. At Jus Grill, four bacon strips were delivered within just a few minutes and cooked to absolute perfection - very crisp and dry, deep red, but not burnt. I was already pleased but that really put it over the top for me. I only wish I could give a rating of more than 5 stars! We will definitely return to Jus Grill. One note: my Denver Scramble was pretty heavy on the diced green bell peppers. Some people might not like that, but I love bell peppers, so I didn't mind at all.

Jus grill was an unexpected stop for us for lunch. We try to eat at local eateries and avoid chains. Jus Grill fit those requirements and is located in a small strip mall. We arrived at 1 pm for lunch and were seated right away. The servers were quick to seat, take our orders, and deliver our food. They are polite and brief. They did deliver our check with our meal and let us know 'no rush' but we never saw another server at our table again. The menu is vast, they offer everything and the kitchen sink. It reminded me of the diners we use to go to as a kid and breakfast is served all day. I ordered a breakfast skillet and my husband had a French dip sandwich. The food was good, not excellent, served quickly, and a hearty portion. Everything felt comfortable and familiar at Jus Grill, even thought I've never been before. Overall it didn't knock my socks off and I wouldn't go out of my way to return.

Love this place! Best salsa in Aurora! Fast, courteous service! And despite the size of their menu, everything is amazing and priced "jus" right!

This cute restaurant has an extensive menu and has good food. The place seems to always be busy, we had a bit of a wait. We were seated and handed the large menu. The Santa Fe scramble jumped out of the menu and said pick me! Adding a side of green chili made it even better. Brian got one of the bennys with a side of pancakes. The food was great. It was a great stable breakfast. The service was a bit slow, but then again they were super busy. I would recommend trying Jus Grill, but I would suggest going on a weekday. Maybe their service is better than the weekend.

Jus' ok Service was great. Food was ok - but not memorable. We were just looking for. Breakfast place close to where we were - on the way home from the airport- not many choices ! It's a solid breakfast place, clean and quick service.

OMG! This place is fantastic, we have placed several orders with them now, so far we have had their breakfasts and last night we had dinner food. I loved everything. I had the fried shrimp and fried chicken with corn, mashed potatoes, salad and roll. You get a lot of food, and their prices are affordable. Also, I love the fact that you can order breakfast foods and have them delivered. Thanks

I have been to Jus Grill three times, but it has been a while since my last visit. As a matter of fact, I haven't been since the remodeled and expanded the restaurant. Last time I was here their was a 30 min wait, with the remodel, I am sure they cut that in half and have the ability to have more customers. It was great to see they reinvested into the business to accomodate their customers better and more efficiently. Along with their expansion, they definitely didn't let their menu suffer, nor the quality of their food. They have items that I can assure you would be in line with the best breakfast, brunch, or lunch, on any menu. If you are looking for good food for a great value, this place would be in line for a good dinner as well. As far as their food goes, I went with the beef and been burrito smothered in green chili. To my surprise, it had a very authentic taste. The meat was tender the beans were cooked perfectly, and the chili was delicious. The green chili was good, however I like my chili SPICY and this was the only place they missed on. The server recommended that I top it off with jalapeños, which I did, but it just wasn't what I was looking for. All in all, the food was good, hearty servings, and a great customer experience. I will definitely be back!

This place has become my local go-to eatery! They offer consistently great food, served by staff that have all worked there virtually since its inception. They are always busy and they operate like clockwork. Dynamite pancakes and my personal favorite dish for breakfast is Migas. Give this place a shot, but on weekends, beware of long waits with a fairly awkward waiting area.

Been here a handful of times now for breakfast/brunch. No major complaints, service has always been good, wait times aren't super long, and the food is decent. Nothing out of this world, but when you are hungry for a good sized breakfast, this place serves it up.

One of my favorite breakfast spots since it's so convenient and down the street! They have a variety of items on their menu so it's nice to try something new, their hash browns have always been very good too!

This is one of those places that when you visit your grandma, she goes "Oh! We must go here" and you roll your eyes and you suck it up and go. And you walk inside and it's the elderly...everywhere. Now, in my opinion, that's a good sign. Old people are persnickety, and that means this place has to be decent, if not good. And it WAS. First off, the decor is kind of adorable, you can tell things haven't changed in a long time, and there are regulars everywhere. People know everyone's names and it's comfortable. Service was fine, nothing exceptional, nothing horrible. My glasses were filled and my food came out fast. I had the chicken fried chicken, which I always judge a restaurant off of - and it was great! Huge portion and delicious. My husband had the guacamole burger, which he said was good, and the fries were YUM. And it's not pricey! The menu is HUGE, and I mean, HUGE. So everyone can find something. Now that I moved to this neighborhood, I can't wait to come back.

Food is just ok. Service is horrible. Every single server was, not only a moron, but a complete B.I.T.C.H. Especially Guadalupe. Putting a smoking skillet down in front of a baby in a high chair. Rolling her eyes when we asked for a new set of silverware for the ones that dropped on the floor. Not worth going back.

Went here on a Saturday night around 5:30 and the place was packed with the average age of customer being around 60. We wanted to try a new place for Mexican and found it to be very average food. I had the chicken nachos and my bf had the steak burrito. Neither was spicy. Nothing special about either one. Based on other reviews I would like to come back and try the breakfast, as it seems that's their specialty. One good thing is that it was nice and quiet, even with every table filled, and hardly any kids!

Stopped in on Saturday morning cause we had a restaurant.com voucher. They were busy and the wait was supposed to be 10 minutes but we got seated much quicker. Pancakes, green chili, avocado bacon omelette, and coffee were all ok. I really enjoyed the potatoes (ordered them extra crispy). Think baked potato texture on the inside and hashbrown crispy on the outside. Good service, quick turn around...super low prices.

Nothing special about this place but they are a dependable diner that'll never let you down. I'm a huge fan of the Mexican Skillet and haven't really shy'd away from that. My wife tried the chicken fried steak as well and it definitely passed the test.

This is our family's go-to spot for diner fare. Decore and plating are not fancy, but the food and the prices are great. My favorite are the omlettes and fajitas. My sons love the burgers, corn-beef hash and pancakes. Their wings are the best I've had in the city. The restaraunt is almost always packed, but the seating goes pretty quick.

A pretty large group of us came into this restaurant. Was not very impressed. The food took forever to come out and when it did, our waitress didn't give us any silverware for a long time. The waters weren't refilled either, although all of our waters were gone... My friend and I split a green chile burrito and it was not good at all. The pancakes someone else ordered were good though, so they have that going for them. I do not recommend this place.

Went on a Sunday morning for breakfast. Despite the place being full I was seated right away. The server spoke broken English so it was a little difficult communicating with her but the order was placed correctly - Chicken Fried Steak with English Muffins and eggs over medium. The food came out suprisingly fast - maybe 5-10 minutes. The portions for the price - $8 - were big. Unfortunately the food wasn't very good. The steak itself was actually pretty tasty, as was the homemade gravy, but everything else on the plate was pretty gross. The eggs were way overcooked, totally hard yolks. The hashbrowns were undercooked, mushy, and flavorless. Even after dousing them in salt and pepper they were inedible. The English Muffin was barely warm, not toasted at all and topped with some weird liquid margarine. I may come here again to try something on the Mexican side of the menu and see if that food has any more flavor, but my expectations are definitely low at this point.

Growing up in a small town with a predominantly retired townsfolk it's neat to find this in the middle of a 99% franchised area like Aurora. If it's not a national chain it's not here or it's hard to find. This is very much a greasy spoon type diner nestled in the oddest of places. The food is great. The service is sometimes akward but always acceptable. I would recommend this over more commercialized fare anytime.

You wouldn't think a diner in a grocery store parking lot would be that but wow. This place has the best breakfast. The only criticism I have is that you never really know who your waitress is because some one new shows up at your table sometimes. Also there service could be improved but it's not that bad. The Mexican coffee is amazing. Today was my second visit and this time my Mexican coffee came out different than I got before (with whip cream which I don't like and wasn't aware it came like that.) Carmen was really nice about it and made me a new one. We will be back for sure! Oh and the strawberry waffle is to die for. :)

Best pancakes EVER! Haven't had much else, but I order the Jus' two eggs with the pancakes, delicious every time! I did try the green chili on someone else's plate and it was really good too! It is affordable, fast and yummy, what more could you want? We go at least once a week, our server "knows" us now! All the staff are friendly and service is always great. Don't set expectations too high, it's a mom and pop type place, yes, you have to bring your check up to pay.... It's a diner. But if you want some great regular ole pancakes, theirs can't be beat!

This place is one of the few hidden gems in Aurora. Very friendly staff. They all do a great job and the prices are so cheap. The quality and quantity of the food are very satisfactory. Basically go here if you enjoy eating good food at good prices and being served by friendly people. Family owned and way better than any franchise around hands down.

If I could give you 0 stars I would. I have only eaten here once with my dad and it was ok. So I called yesterday to order a breakfast burrito to pick up. The asshole on the phone accused me calling the day before and not picking up my order. That I never did. He said he knew my voice, really since I'm sick I sound nothing like me. No worries I will never go to this establishment! You obviously care nothing about customer service!

Patricia A.
Knowing the family of this great eats is one step to feeling like Norm from Cheers. I eat here a lot, so I have to give it the stars worthy. I have had breakfast, lunch and dinner. Every once in a while, he will add something new for the night to the menu to mix it up a bit. Nachos were warm and tasty since they melt the chees on them. Pork chops very tender, Navy Bean and Ham soup my Favorite with the GINORMOUS corn bread bring two bellies you will need them. Burritos are HUGE and need four more bellies just so you are not rolled out in a wheel barrel. I have to say I have never had any spirits here, but they are not small drinks from what I have seen. There is every item under the sun and they serve full menu all day. Great prices for the amount of food.

Went in for to go and order some pancakes. I get home to find no syrup or butter, butter no big deal but no syrup for pancakes? I didn't have any at home either. So I called the manager to inform him and ended up even more pissed off. His first response to rectify the situation was to insure me that the next time he will make sure they put syrup in the bag on a take out, okay... So I asked about the money I wasted as I wasn't going to eat dry pancakes. He told me my money wasn't wasted because I could still eat the pancakes... At that point I told him to have a good day and hung up. Instead of taking my name and info for a refund or some sort of attempt at a refund he tries to convince me to eat dry pancakes? When I was waiting for my food a customer got up and yelled across the room that they needed a new cook and that his meal was terrible. I guess that should of been a sign but they already had my money :(.

I had first tried this place on recommendation from a friendo for breakfast .. she picked up breakfast to go... and I finally had the chance to stop in on my own ... Very nice hostess ... and the place was super clean... chorizo burrito is very tasty, the salsa that comes with it tastes homemade.. and the biscuits and gravy hit the spot as well... I enjoy this place.. for the quality of food, speed of service and most of all the friendly patrons and hosts :

Hubby suggested going here I really was shocked, it is a small place. But it has a large menu they offer breakfast all day long and they serve everything from Mexican food to prime rib. I was surprised by what I ordered it was the chicken fried chicken and it was a good portion and it tasted very good as well. Hubby ordered a fajita burrito and a guacamole and chips appetizer, he must of enjoyed it nothing was left. We will return!

This was a good dinner with good service, but not much for decor. Just to be fair, I will say up front that I basically reserve 5 stars for a Gordon Ramsey quality restaurant. If I was just rating this place against similar styles of restaurants I would give it 4 out of 5. When you walk in the decor is pretty basic, but It looked very clean and well kept. I also noticed the clientele was mostly over 50. This is definitely not a place for 20 somethings to go out to on a friday night, but it might be a good place to stop in for a quick lunch or breakfast. As I walked in I was greeted very nicely and brought to a table. I started reading the menu and it had a lot of standard diner type food, such as pancakes, eggs, BLT's, and hamburgers. The thing that threw me off was that the back half of the menu was all Mexican dishes. I always get a little nervous when a restaurant can't decide what style of food they serve. Also, the menu was a little too large. It took me a while as a first time visitor to go through it all and decide what I wanted. After looking through the menu i decided to go with something light, a BLT with chicken noodle soup. The chicken noodle soup came first and I thought it was one of the best chicken noodle soups I have eaten. The veggies tasted like the soup was cooked freshly that day. There were large pieces of celery and carrots that were nicely cooked but not mush. The chicken looked like it was freshly grilled chicken breast cut it into small pieces. The broth was very tasty and perfectly seasoned. Next my BLT came and it looked really good. It was a large sized sandwich with perfectly grilled bread. The lettuce and tomatoe looked very fresh and the bacon was large and crisp. For desert I had a piece of coconut cake. It tasted like coconut cream pie. My only complaint is that the cake was a little dry and had so much frosting on the outside that I could not eat that part. Overall I had a good experience and will probably stop in again to try breakfast. If I have as good of an experience next time as I did today I probably will move my rating to 4 stars.

Love this place so much! Vegetarian green chili, three of the best words in my vocabulary. A rare find, and very good here! Green Chili in breakfast is awesome! There breakfast burrito is super yummy, very filling and a fantastic deal! Less than 6 bucks! Service is friendly, owner is cool, just expanded it too, lots of room and lighting. Plus is a small business, love supporting my neighbors! Only downsides are the decor is lacking and cheaply done is places and the menu is a little too advantageous, but the breakfast is rock solid!

Many opportunities of sampling their entries with consistent coupons being mailed to the house.. finally for some odd reason, had chance to stop by for breakfast on recent Saturday morning. When we got there around 11 AM., the place was packed. Its kinda small place inside the strip mall, about 3000 square feet. Nothing special to write home about.. and I forgot to bring the coupons.. darn it. We were seated promptly, the waitress came over quickly and brought the water and took the drink order. I must say, they had great selection of breakfast entries and also lunch and such. Each of our order had big serving of breakfast potatoes (scalloped kind) and the usual sides of bacon, eggs and such.. I had waffle combo and the price was reasonable and tasted good. Just like the sign, they serve home style cooked meal. The food reminded me of Dimitri's on Havana before they sold it to someone else.. the menu reminded and price reminded me of Le Peep in the olden days. I will definitely do the repeat business. Keep up the good work. 11/21/13 Plenty of bacon with my bfast order. Now serving liquor. $2.50 modelo happy hour special.

...you know, for a spot with such delicious food at such a great price you'd think the service would be exceptional too. The staff is unbelievably negligent, appears inconvenienced when you ask for anything, and argues with you as you attempt to place your order in person or over the phone. Really sad. I refuse to give my money to someplace that doesn't respect me. You've lost a customer for life.

Great find for breakfast. They have a hugh variety of menu items. Had the Italian sausage skillett. Very good except to much marinara. Service was excellent and facility was very clean. Only reason didnt give five stars is the decor seems very blah and the crumbled biscuit already on the chair they sat me at. Definitely me back.

It is a breakfast all day sort of place, with a mom's home cooking. We were there on Saturday night and at the age of 41 were made to feel quite young by the other patrons! It is like Village Inn with much better food. The service leaves a lot to be desired. Prices are alright. It is Mom's home cooking, nothing more.

Although they don't have Catfish and Eggs as a regular menu item, they were happy to make me my favorite breakfast when the waiter overheard me wishing for it. Very tasty catfish! My daughter had huge fluffy pancakes. Staff is efficient and friendly. We are visiting my grandmother, and happened upon this restaurant. I've now bookmarked it for future visits. We'll definitely be back.

Been awhile since I wrote but ate here for breakfast and kids suggested I review. I like this place, it takes coupons and that cuts the cost down, I am very cheap, I am also very picky. I think this place does exactly what it is supposed to do. Serve decent food quickly, it has the bland, American style of generic food that most people want when they are JUS hungry. I really have NO complaints about this place, it is so obviously a small family style diner that no one could expect anything else, no pretension here. I ate the Irish corned beef, eggs were perfect, hash browns had become more like fried smashed potatoes but okay, Plenty of food, Kids had special, vey good, Combo breakfast standard, They both complimented the quality of the pancakes and waffle Overall a good deal Look for coupons on restaurant dot com or Valpak online

I drive through the shopping strip that its in quite frequently, and noticed that there's a lot of patron traffic in and out of here, so we came in for dinner one evening. I ordered the chili-mac bowl, and man was I disappointed. Imagine if you were to take a can of cheap, bean-less chili, mix it with about 2 cups of water and throw it over a large bowl of pasta; that is what I got. Some sliced canned jalapenos and burnt to hell cheesy garlic bread slices garnished the bowl. My husband's large plate of supreme nachos was absolutely nothing made of scratch, i.e. we could've bought everything from King Soopers and spent less then the meal. Husband also pointed out his beer glass was not cold...if that's important to you. The best part of the meal was my salad, and only because I like house dressing. What attracted me to this place was the sense that everything there was comfort food...of course, not everything in any place is going to be made from scratch, BUT, its like, NOTHING was made fresh. Even the nachos in the supreme nachos were cold and stale. Honestly, I was embarassed after the meal because I had to convince my man to come out to this side of town just for a dinner. I've had worse, hence 2 stars...hopefully others have had a better experience.

Great neighborhood diner. The food isn't gourmand, so if that's what you want, eat elsewhere. This is the place where the cops all meet for lunch in the middle of the week. Other than a couple of families, there was just myself, the cops and most of the seniors in neighborhood. These folks don't waste their time or money with a lot of nonsense, and this is the place for that kind of crowd. They've recently expanded - doubled the size of the dining room. I've also noticed that this end of the parking lot is always full. Lots of good signs for Jus' Grill. I had the breakfast chicken-fried steak and eggs. Large portions. The hash browns were okay - certainly not bad; but I imagined they'd come with onions in a place like this. Everything else was really good. Fast service, food at the table almost immediately. I get the idea that they're often very busy, but I walked right in and sat down, ate and was gone and back home in under 45 minutes and for just over $10. Really nice waitress, too. We'll definitely be back.

Good friendly service. Not the fanciest breakfast and don't expect a 'snooze'. Our usual go to for inexpensive breakfast that's hot, filling, and satisfying. Especially love the fluffy airy pancakes.

Great place to eat comfort food. Large portions, reasonably priced and the food is great. Nice selection on the menu. I haven't tried the steak but the Mexican and the sandwiches and the pot roast! YUM YUM! They recently expanded....waiting isn't usually a problem...service is fast and friendly. (I've eaten so called Gourmet and wasn't impressed with the price, flavor or atmosphere....I think it's just for those that have the bucks and want to spend it :) ) Yeah, I'm a fan of Jus' Grill!

Been here three times, first time I had a french dip, three slices of meat on a 6 inch roll and a soda 13.00 bucks..... Ok so that sucks.... Next trip breakfast....here's an improvement... Still pricey had a simple two eggs, sausage and toast breakfast.... Ca Ching ... What ever its close and convenient, third time breakfast.... Sucked...... Bitter ice tea, hair in the omelet, pissy owner when I called them on it.... No attempt to comp the meal. And his piss house attitude lost me as a costumer.... Attitude is everything, if you own a business please make an attempt to care...

So for the past month I've been trying to come up with something to write about a place that we took a friend to, Jus' Grill. I have to admit, there isn't much to say about Jus' Grill. The food is good but not fall out of your chair good/great. The service is for those that like a hands off kind, they give you crafts of water or your drink so they don't have to keep refilling your glass. The decor is almost non-exist, and small tables. The food as I said is good but nothing that I can't make at home. The flavoring is there but nothing pops. I had the stake and cheese enchiladas. The stake was flavored well and it came through with all the cheese and green chili sauce. The rice was just another version of Spanish Rice, some seasoning but not a lot. Simon had the Jambalaya with a house salad. The dish had good flavoring and the pasta was cooked well. He did find a shrimp shell mixed in. Our friend had the Tilapia fish with rice and broccoli. He said that the fish was cooked well, not dry and the rice and broccoli was good. After asking the waiter for a desert menu, I ordered a Sunday, Simon ordered a Apple Pie and our friend ordered a Blueberry Pie. The pies were reheated. Simon's was nice a warm but our friend's pie had sections that were still frozen. Over all, I can't help but think of Jus' Grill, as just another grill/restaurant with a large menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Good food but not great. Ok service and small tables. If you don't feel like cooking and want to spend little money, Jus' Grill is the place to go. Maybe we'll go back for breakfast, as I hear that it what they are known best for.

Came here after reading what seemed like very positive reviews. Upon entering, we were acknowledged right away and were even given a choice of what table we could sit at. After ordering, we waited about 10 minutes before we got our food. I got the southwest eggs Benny, and quite frankly, there's nothing "Wow" about any of it. The hash browns aren't hash browns, more like a pile of semi smashed potatoes. The hollandaise sauce is runny & bland. The service is okay, but that plays a big role in the overall experience. Waitress dropped the food off, and walked away. Not a "how's everything look" or a "anything else I can get you?" You know, the typical things you expect. Still, sitting here 15 minutes later after getting our food, she hasn't come by to check on us. I'll eat the food because I ordered it, but I won't be back.

If I want good, basic, simple, fresh diner food, cheap and fast, I will go to Jus Grill. (Get a Coupon, Don't pay retail, BO Regular Price/GO $.99) We are breakfast at any hour people and this place is great. Hot and fresh, definitely made to order without a lot of overreaching and simple service. What would you like, how is it, can I get this plate, have a nice day, a little schmoozing and you can hang out when it is not busy and not get the stink eye. How can you tell if a place gives a crap? I walk over to give the cashier the coupon sheet I got in the mail, she takes scissors out, cuts out the one I am going to use and gives me back the rest. Most places grab the whole sheet, heaven forbid we would come back again and use ANOTHER coupon. Reminds me of a truck stop or diner in a small town. Even the bathroom was clean. This place is our goto.

This little place in the shopping center next to King Soopers is very popular. All the seats were taken for breakfast, so we sat at the bar. I ordered the chicken fried steak skillet, it was very good. I would like to come back to try their lunch and dinner fare.

Jus' Grill has expanded due to the neighborhood's demand for great food at good prices. We often eat there and have many favorite dishes. We take guests there whenever we get a chance because of the large variety on the menu, and we have NEVER had a bad meal there! Very good food, very good service, very good value for the prices. Eat IN and ENJOY!

Boyfriend & I decided to grab lunch here one day because we had a good coupon. The service was fine, not particularly friendly but it was quick and we were well taken care of! The menu is so big, if you're visiting for the first time it will probably take you a while to review everything & make a choice. They seem to have lots of hearty American dishes as well as Mexican dishes. We started off with the sample platter for our appetizer. Fried zuccini, onion rings, wings and mozarella sticks. Delicious!! For our entree, my boyfriend ordered the Top Sirloin Steak with mashed potatos. The steak was cooked exactly how he asked, and was really good. The mashed potatos had a long black hair in it. This is the only reason I give this place 3 stars. To me this is not okay by ANY standards. I ordered the steak and shrimp fajita, it came with salsa, beans, guacamole, rice and lettuce on the side which was great, my whole meal was delicious. Then to end...I got a slice of hot apple pie for dessert, and was very pleased with it! warm and gooey...really hit the spot. I'm sure the hair thing doesn't happen frequently...but we will probably not go back because it understandably grossed us out a LOT. P.S.- Pricing is VERY reasonable, large portions for not too much $$ per meal. That I was impressed with.

Jus' Grill is a pretty great breakfast spot if you are looking for something more Home Cooked than iHop. In our group we ordered the Breakfast Burrito, Frittata and Huevos Rancheros... all were Delish! You should know my husband is a Huevos Rancheros connoisseur and wouldn't say it was the best he ever had but a great contender, especially for a decently priced breakfast. I couldn't post pictures because everyone immediately dove in to their deliciously smelling meals but I'll try next time. Side note, it seems like a good sign that they get pretty busy on a weekend (breakfast) but they seem to seat you fairly quickly.

This is a great neighborhood diner. Good food at very decent prices. My family and I have ate their at least half a dozen times and have always had good experiences. Service at times leaves a little to be desired. Overall a nice place and will be back. Their Mexican entrees are better than you receive in a lot of Mexican restaraunts.

First time. I had a club sandwich (a safe sandwich for a first time in a cafe). It was BIG. I mean this thing had to be 4, maybe 5 inches thick. And the fries were very good, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and not greasy. The decor is just cheap diner. It's in a strip mall as has been mentioned so it's nothing fancy. It's food... Not bad, not great. Just food. I would probably eat here again if I was in the area and hungry. Our server was friendly enough and not annoying (a good thing).

Located in a strip mall with a ton of parking... oh.... I'm in Denver where there is always plenty of parking. About 18 tables in this modernly decorated restaurant with a big flat screen in the corner in case the Broncos, Avs, Nuggets or Rockies are on. I decided to have the Chicken Fried Steak with biscuits (hahaha... sorry... You'll see later) and Gravy. Sister had the green chili breakfast burrito. We walked in with only 5 tables filled and by the time we left, every table was filled, so this place is popular with the locals. The steak is a deep fried variety and it was a modest size. Not the smallest i've seen and not the largest. The batter on the steak was seasoned very well and the gravy was the basic white gravy with bits of sausage. The steak was fork cutting tender. I liked the steak. What wasn't impressive was the biscuits. When I ordered, I had the option of Toast or Pancakes. I switched it to biscuits. What I ended up getting looked like two small dollar size pancakes with gravy on top. These biscuits have to be the smallest biscuits known to man. So, they lose a star because the embarrasing biscuits. My Sister had the green chili breakfast burrito and I tried some of it. The bacon is really smokey and good and the green chili in the burrito gave it good flavor. What was really wierd was the green chili sauce that either goes on top of the burrito or inside. She asked for it on the side so she could regulate the amount of heat. The side of green chili didn't even look like green chili. It wasn't even green. It was a brownish orange color and was loaded with corn starch to give it that gravy thickness. It wasn't appealing to the eyes and it tasted just like that Ortega Taco Sauce you by in the bottle. This green chili sauce is something I would never order again.

We typically like to go out to experience new food and flavors, that we don't normally experience at home. With that said, we tried the breakfast here and we found the flavors to be very ordinary and typical. We really could have done this at home, perhaps even better at home. We will watch the reviews and if we determine that the flavors improve and pizazz is introduced, we may give it another try.

After reading Curt's review of this place, I had to take my husband there - we're both "mature" and "also heavy". So I figured it would fit us pretty well - and it did!! It's a great place. The food isn't fancy, but it's real. It's the kind of restaurant we used to eat at when we were kids. OK - so much for reminiscing. Now for the real review: Like I said, the food is the real, old-fashioned kind. When we ate there, I had a chicken pot pie served with fresh melon chunks. It was delicious. My husband had 3 huge pancakes with fresh sliced strawberries. They were very good, too. I had a piece of pumpkin pie with whipped cream for dessert (and they know how to put on enough whipped cream, too!). They had lots of other great-looking food on the menu, but I couldn't try it all in one meal - we'll have to go back! Unfortunately, the decaf tasted a little burned, but that was a very minor issue for us. The atmosphere is nice, too. It's very clean and well-lighted. And the music is just loud enough to hear, but not overwhelming like many places where we've eaten. The waitress was very nice, the service was good, and we didn't feel "rushed" at all. We've added it to our "destination" places, even though we drove a little over 7 miles to get there. Did I mention we really liked it? I'd strongly recommend this place - especially for "mature" people. :)

A favorite place for the wife and I for breakfast on weekends. Good size menu coupled with pretty quick and friendly service makes a good place to enjoy our meal. Not over the top on the cuisine, but a basic breakfast the way it should be. Have to echo the coupon sentiment, no sense in paying retail here.

AJ T.
Clean, friendly, and the food is good. What else is there? We used a certificate that required that we spend $40. We ate until we couldn't move and we were still short. Hefty portions to say the least. We will go back.

We went for breakfast on a Sunday. This place was really busy. It's not very big either. We didn't have to wait but some people did. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The food was really good and pretty large portions. I like that they put a carafe of water on your table. Good prices. I love to find new places for breakfast and I will definitely be back.

Love hole in the wall local joints, specifically ones with great breakfast food. The staff is always great and my skillet is always yum! One of those places I am happy to wait in line for. If your in Aurora, defiantly check out this place.

Diner style breakfast. The food is consistently good. The wait staff can be very friendly or just really rushed depending on the day. Coffee is ok and I have had the pancakes, huevos rancheros, spanish omlette, Jus' Two Eggs but never had anything but breakfast. I do not like the potatoes/hashbrowns as I prefer my potatoes to be cooked more and in my opinion these are under done in the middle. The food is similar quality to chains like LePeep. I try to get someone to share with me because the portions are really large. They are very fast with their service, leave coffee in a carafe and a pitcher of water on the table and you pay your bill at the register like most diners. I think they have fair prices and we will often meet my family here for an affordable breakfast. They can get pretty busy and the waiting area is by the bathrooms so that is awkward. If you have to wait I sugget doing it outside on the bench. I would say if they try to sit you in the table by the bathroom to just offer to wait for another table. Sat here once and not only are you looking at the bathroom door but everyone waiting to eat is staring at your food. Really uncomfortable. I wish they would rearrange a bit to make the dining area better. The tables and floors are clean and so is the bathroom. I will continue to go to Jus' for a diner style breakfast.

Jus' Grill opened around March 1st of this year (2010), a couple of doors down in the strip mall (Buckley Square) from my local dry cleaner and my beloved Starbucks. It's a clean, small, diner-ish restaurant with a roughly 30x30 dining room, and decorated in a plain but not unpleasant way. I had a hard time deciding how to categorize them, but I guess American (Traditional) is the best fit. About half of their menu is breakfast foods - they have just about everything you can think of in a wide variety of pancakes, crepes, skillets, french toast, breakfast sandwiches, burritos, on down to plain old bacon and eggs. The remainder of the menu (lunch and dinner) is fairly generic, but extensive for such a small place. Steaks, salads, burgers, all the standard sandwiches (BLT, club, etc, etc), pasta dishes and so on. In addition to this there is a "Mexican Dishes" and a "Breakfast Mexicanos" section with about 8 and 4 different choices (respectively), a few kids selections (breakfast and lunch) and a selection of espresso drinks (they have a machine). Prices for virtually all entrees are $7-10 as of this writing. As a new restaurant, they're clearly still figuring things out, and there were a few service mistakes (and mistakes on the check -- the guy who rang me up admitted "we're still learning the prices"). No biggie -- they fixed them without delay. The food is OK, but obviously we'll need a couple more visits to figure that out completely. We ordered the chips and salsa for an appetizer and found that they use pre-made corn tortilla "variety" chips (i.e. regular, red, and blue corn chips), and they serve Pace mild salsa. That's a shame, but it makes them like most other small non-Mexican restaurants who serve chips and salsa. My wife had a Turkey Avocado sandwich with fries, and it was fine. I had a chicken fajita salad and it was good but pretty generic. All in all, it's nice to have a new alternative in the neighborhood of Iliff and Buckley, especially a locally owned and operated non-franchise business. I'll update this review once we've had a couple of more experiences here -- especially breakfast (which seems to be their strong suit)!

I really like having a regular food place in the neighborhood run by a family. I chuckle when I go in- usually the place is filled with more mature people and also heavy people. Usually solid good food at a ok price. The dining room is simple, breakfast is good , service is usually pretty good, and I have found the food to be consistant.- not a fancy place- but nice to be able to run over for lunch while wearing comfy day off attire.

Went back to have breakfast. Breakfast burrito wasn't what I expected. Expected Eggs, Bacon and potatoes, each item separate in the burrito. Instead, got eggs, bacon and green chilis all scrambled together and put in a tortilla. Also didn't expect the green chili to be orange. For $7 it was just okay.

This is one of those places that's nice to have around if you live, shop, or work nearby. But it's not destination dining. I decided to try them when I checked Yelp for someplace different for my midweek breakfast out today. I never shop in this area, and don't even drive by very often, so I doubt I'd have visited if it weren't for Yelp. For starters, the place isn't very cozy. You know the corporate "lunch rooms" some employers provide? Clean, and functionally furnished for it's stated purpose, but not so comfortable you'd want to hang out there. That's what this place reminded me of. Not bad, just not very good. The food and service were pretty good. I had the breakfast burrito. There were lots of eggs and chorizio inside, smothered with a very tasty green chili and cheese. There was a generous portion of nicely cooked home fries on the side. The coffee was OK but not remarkable. They served it in a decanter so I could take care of my own refills...I like that. They also gave me carafe of ice water without my having to ask...I like that, too. The final bill was only $8.45...got them one more star than I was originally going to give. Acceptable, but it didn't make my regular rotation.

We received a gift certificate for Jus Grill and thought we'd give it a try. The service was ok, the food was TERRIBLE! My kids had mac and cheese that looked great but tasted like mush. My husband had cheese enchiladas that were tasteless. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and had to send it back because it was raw. Once it was cooked, it also had no flavor. The food was pricey and had no taste. We will not be coming back to Jus Grill

Average diner, nothing special. Our waitress was bad, couldn't remember what anyone ordered, slapped the check on the table and never came back.

This is for the new "restaurant" on the corner of 6th and 225. Wow what can I say. I should have known better then to order fish from a restaurant that sells its self as a home cooking place. The fish was freezer burnt the broccoli was cold and the rice seemed as though it came out of a box. The chicken breast was more of a filet and was not sure if it was the chicken or a piece of fish. I only ate a few bites when I decided to complain to the manager that was about 20 something that said he knew nothing about the fish he was serving. The only thing the manager did was to give me a %10 discount on the two meals. All we ate was the generic salad that seemed as though it came from a bag and the typical dinner roll. in short the food was bad, the waitress was very nice and apologized. I told her it was not her fault but the food was bad and the putz of a manager was an idiot.

This is now my go-to local breakfast place. It's pretty typical diner breakfast fare, but everything I've tried so far has been good, though not spectacular. Portions are adequate and the price is right. To compare to chain breakfast places, I'd say they're a notch above Le Peep and Village Inn, and 2 notches up on Denny's. Still no replacement for the Egg-ception, though. :-( One drawback: If you come during the rush hour and have to wait for a table, the only place to wait is across from the bathrooms. This could kill your appetite.

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Consider this a rave review! On Tuesday morning (4/14/15), our breakfast was delivered quickly, and everything was delicious and appetizingly presented. (The Santa Fe Scramble with wheat toast for my boyfriend and the Denver Scramble with pancakes -- and real butter! -- for me.) Our server was efficient and remained friendly despite putting her off from taking our order numerous times. All the choices were so tempting, it was hard to choose! She paid attention to our needs without ever hovering, so she earned a healthy 20% tip. I later added a side of bacon to my order, requesting they make it crisp. Most restaurants can't be bothered to cook bacon to my taste. Even when I do specify "crisp and dry", they still tend to bring me floppy, fatty bacon, which I detest. At Jus Grill, four bacon strips were delivered within just a few minutes and cooked to absolute perfection - very crisp and dry, deep red, but not burnt. I was already pleased but that really put it over the top for me. I only wish I could give a rating of more than 5 stars! We will definitely return to Jus Grill. One note: my Denver Scramble was pretty heavy on the diced green bell peppers. Some people might not like that, but I love bell peppers, so I didn't mind at all.

Jus grill was an unexpected stop for us for lunch. We try to eat at local eateries and avoid chains. Jus Grill fit those requirements and is located in a small strip mall. We arrived at 1 pm for lunch and were seated right away. The servers were quick to seat, take our orders, and deliver our food. They are polite and brief. They did deliver our check with our meal and let us know 'no rush' but we never saw another server at our table again. The menu is vast, they offer everything and the kitchen sink. It reminded me of the diners we use to go to as a kid and breakfast is served all day. I ordered a breakfast skillet and my husband had a French dip sandwich. The food was good, not excellent, served quickly, and a hearty portion. Everything felt comfortable and familiar at Jus Grill, even thought I've never been before. Overall it didn't knock my socks off and I wouldn't go out of my way to return.
(3)Monica C.
Love this place! Best salsa in Aurora! Fast, courteous service! And despite the size of their menu, everything is amazing and priced "jus" right!
(5)Denise G.
This cute restaurant has an extensive menu and has good food. The place seems to always be busy, we had a bit of a wait. We were seated and handed the large menu. The Santa Fe scramble jumped out of the menu and said pick me! Adding a side of green chili made it even better. Brian got one of the bennys with a side of pancakes. The food was great. It was a great stable breakfast. The service was a bit slow, but then again they were super busy. I would recommend trying Jus Grill, but I would suggest going on a weekday. Maybe their service is better than the weekend.
(4)Marta H.
Jus' ok Service was great. Food was ok - but not memorable. We were just looking for. Breakfast place close to where we were - on the way home from the airport- not many choices ! It's a solid breakfast place, clean and quick service.
(3)Kristie J.
OMG! This place is fantastic, we have placed several orders with them now, so far we have had their breakfasts and last night we had dinner food. I loved everything. I had the fried shrimp and fried chicken with corn, mashed potatoes, salad and roll. You get a lot of food, and their prices are affordable. Also, I love the fact that you can order breakfast foods and have them delivered. Thanks
(5)Damion W.
I have been to Jus Grill three times, but it has been a while since my last visit. As a matter of fact, I haven't been since the remodeled and expanded the restaurant. Last time I was here their was a 30 min wait, with the remodel, I am sure they cut that in half and have the ability to have more customers. It was great to see they reinvested into the business to accomodate their customers better and more efficiently. Along with their expansion, they definitely didn't let their menu suffer, nor the quality of their food. They have items that I can assure you would be in line with the best breakfast, brunch, or lunch, on any menu. If you are looking for good food for a great value, this place would be in line for a good dinner as well. As far as their food goes, I went with the beef and been burrito smothered in green chili. To my surprise, it had a very authentic taste. The meat was tender the beans were cooked perfectly, and the chili was delicious. The green chili was good, however I like my chili SPICY and this was the only place they missed on. The server recommended that I top it off with jalapeños, which I did, but it just wasn't what I was looking for. All in all, the food was good, hearty servings, and a great customer experience. I will definitely be back!
(4)April S.
This place has become my local go-to eatery! They offer consistently great food, served by staff that have all worked there virtually since its inception. They are always busy and they operate like clockwork. Dynamite pancakes and my personal favorite dish for breakfast is Migas. Give this place a shot, but on weekends, beware of long waits with a fairly awkward waiting area.
(4)Shawn R.
Awesome food everything we go in. The Mexican dishes are great. Some of the staff could be a little more attentive at times but overall it is a great place to go eat!
(4)Amy F.
Been here a handful of times now for breakfast/brunch. No major complaints, service has always been good, wait times aren't super long, and the food is decent. Nothing out of this world, but when you are hungry for a good sized breakfast, this place serves it up.
(4)JR R.
Great food every time. Try to avoid peak hours on weekends though, or you'll have a wait.
(5)jennifer s.
One of my favorite breakfast spots since it's so convenient and down the street! They have a variety of items on their menu so it's nice to try something new, their hash browns have always been very good too!

This is one of those places that when you visit your grandma, she goes "Oh! We must go here" and you roll your eyes and you suck it up and go. And you walk inside and it's the elderly...everywhere. Now, in my opinion, that's a good sign. Old people are persnickety, and that means this place has to be decent, if not good. And it WAS. First off, the decor is kind of adorable, you can tell things haven't changed in a long time, and there are regulars everywhere. People know everyone's names and it's comfortable. Service was fine, nothing exceptional, nothing horrible. My glasses were filled and my food came out fast. I had the chicken fried chicken, which I always judge a restaurant off of - and it was great! Huge portion and delicious. My husband had the guacamole burger, which he said was good, and the fries were YUM. And it's not pricey! The menu is HUGE, and I mean, HUGE. So everyone can find something. Now that I moved to this neighborhood, I can't wait to come back.
(4)Teresa S.
Food is just ok. Service is horrible. Every single server was, not only a moron, but a complete B.I.T.C.H. Especially Guadalupe. Putting a smoking skillet down in front of a baby in a high chair. Rolling her eyes when we asked for a new set of silverware for the ones that dropped on the floor. Not worth going back.
(1)Laura G.
Went here on a Saturday night around 5:30 and the place was packed with the average age of customer being around 60. We wanted to try a new place for Mexican and found it to be very average food. I had the chicken nachos and my bf had the steak burrito. Neither was spicy. Nothing special about either one. Based on other reviews I would like to come back and try the breakfast, as it seems that's their specialty. One good thing is that it was nice and quiet, even with every table filled, and hardly any kids!
(3)julie n.
Stopped in on Saturday morning cause we had a restaurant.com voucher. They were busy and the wait was supposed to be 10 minutes but we got seated much quicker. Pancakes, green chili, avocado bacon omelette, and coffee were all ok. I really enjoyed the potatoes (ordered them extra crispy). Think baked potato texture on the inside and hashbrown crispy on the outside. Good service, quick turn around...super low prices.
(3)Jacob F.
Nothing special about this place but they are a dependable diner that'll never let you down. I'm a huge fan of the Mexican Skillet and haven't really shy'd away from that. My wife tried the chicken fried steak as well and it definitely passed the test.
(3)Anita R.
This is our family's go-to spot for diner fare. Decore and plating are not fancy, but the food and the prices are great. My favorite are the omlettes and fajitas. My sons love the burgers, corn-beef hash and pancakes. Their wings are the best I've had in the city. The restaraunt is almost always packed, but the seating goes pretty quick.
(4)Elisa C.
A pretty large group of us came into this restaurant. Was not very impressed. The food took forever to come out and when it did, our waitress didn't give us any silverware for a long time. The waters weren't refilled either, although all of our waters were gone... My friend and I split a green chile burrito and it was not good at all. The pancakes someone else ordered were good though, so they have that going for them. I do not recommend this place.
(1)Sarah H.
Went on a Sunday morning for breakfast. Despite the place being full I was seated right away. The server spoke broken English so it was a little difficult communicating with her but the order was placed correctly - Chicken Fried Steak with English Muffins and eggs over medium. The food came out suprisingly fast - maybe 5-10 minutes. The portions for the price - $8 - were big. Unfortunately the food wasn't very good. The steak itself was actually pretty tasty, as was the homemade gravy, but everything else on the plate was pretty gross. The eggs were way overcooked, totally hard yolks. The hashbrowns were undercooked, mushy, and flavorless. Even after dousing them in salt and pepper they were inedible. The English Muffin was barely warm, not toasted at all and topped with some weird liquid margarine. I may come here again to try something on the Mexican side of the menu and see if that food has any more flavor, but my expectations are definitely low at this point.
(2)Dean M.
Growing up in a small town with a predominantly retired townsfolk it's neat to find this in the middle of a 99% franchised area like Aurora. If it's not a national chain it's not here or it's hard to find. This is very much a greasy spoon type diner nestled in the oddest of places. The food is great. The service is sometimes akward but always acceptable. I would recommend this over more commercialized fare anytime.
(4)Kaley H.
You wouldn't think a diner in a grocery store parking lot would be that but wow. This place has the best breakfast. The only criticism I have is that you never really know who your waitress is because some one new shows up at your table sometimes. Also there service could be improved but it's not that bad. The Mexican coffee is amazing. Today was my second visit and this time my Mexican coffee came out different than I got before (with whip cream which I don't like and wasn't aware it came like that.) Carmen was really nice about it and made me a new one. We will be back for sure! Oh and the strawberry waffle is to die for. :)
(5)Natasha C.
Food was really great, prices weren't bad for the portion sizes! The wait staff was friendly and accommodating. Green chile was really good! No frills place, in my opinion, but a great meal and good service.
(4)Traci R.
Best pancakes EVER! Haven't had much else, but I order the Jus' two eggs with the pancakes, delicious every time! I did try the green chili on someone else's plate and it was really good too! It is affordable, fast and yummy, what more could you want? We go at least once a week, our server "knows" us now! All the staff are friendly and service is always great. Don't set expectations too high, it's a mom and pop type place, yes, you have to bring your check up to pay.... It's a diner. But if you want some great regular ole pancakes, theirs can't be beat!
(5)Briane M.
Food was good. The service was really nice- I think they do breakfast better than lunch.

I ordered my strip steak, and it was prepared just as ordered , and it was tasty ! I was pleasantly surprised because a steakhouse sometimes cannot cook a steak " rare" I had top shelf margarita ....oh yes....I recommendation.

Food is great, service is horrible!!!!! Waitresses don't like mixed couples, I guess we have been here a couple of times but service never gets better.
(1)Jake P.
This place is one of the few hidden gems in Aurora. Very friendly staff. They all do a great job and the prices are so cheap. The quality and quantity of the food are very satisfactory. Basically go here if you enjoy eating good food at good prices and being served by friendly people. Family owned and way better than any franchise around hands down.
(5)Tim K.
Love this place!!! Their food is Awesome, their service is great! You can get what you want at any time of the day! Go down and see this place if you have not yet! Give small neighborhood business support! Very clean and nice!

If I could give you 0 stars I would. I have only eaten here once with my dad and it was ok. So I called yesterday to order a breakfast burrito to pick up. The asshole on the phone accused me calling the day before and not picking up my order. That I never did. He said he knew my voice, really since I'm sick I sound nothing like me. No worries I will never go to this establishment! You obviously care nothing about customer service!
(1)Patricia A.
Knowing the family of this great eats is one step to feeling like Norm from Cheers. I eat here a lot, so I have to give it the stars worthy. I have had breakfast, lunch and dinner. Every once in a while, he will add something new for the night to the menu to mix it up a bit. Nachos were warm and tasty since they melt the chees on them. Pork chops very tender, Navy Bean and Ham soup my Favorite with the GINORMOUS corn bread bring two bellies you will need them. Burritos are HUGE and need four more bellies just so you are not rolled out in a wheel barrel. I have to say I have never had any spirits here, but they are not small drinks from what I have seen. There is every item under the sun and they serve full menu all day. Great prices for the amount of food.
(5)Tony R.
Went in for to go and order some pancakes. I get home to find no syrup or butter, butter no big deal but no syrup for pancakes? I didn't have any at home either. So I called the manager to inform him and ended up even more pissed off. His first response to rectify the situation was to insure me that the next time he will make sure they put syrup in the bag on a take out, okay... So I asked about the money I wasted as I wasn't going to eat dry pancakes. He told me my money wasn't wasted because I could still eat the pancakes... At that point I told him to have a good day and hung up. Instead of taking my name and info for a refund or some sort of attempt at a refund he tries to convince me to eat dry pancakes? When I was waiting for my food a customer got up and yelled across the room that they needed a new cook and that his meal was terrible. I guess that should of been a sign but they already had my money :(.

I had first tried this place on recommendation from a friendo for breakfast .. she picked up breakfast to go... and I finally had the chance to stop in on my own ... Very nice hostess ... and the place was super clean... chorizo burrito is very tasty, the salsa that comes with it tastes homemade.. and the biscuits and gravy hit the spot as well... I enjoy this place.. for the quality of food, speed of service and most of all the friendly patrons and hosts :

Hubby suggested going here I really was shocked, it is a small place. But it has a large menu they offer breakfast all day long and they serve everything from Mexican food to prime rib. I was surprised by what I ordered it was the chicken fried chicken and it was a good portion and it tasted very good as well. Hubby ordered a fajita burrito and a guacamole and chips appetizer, he must of enjoyed it nothing was left. We will return!

This was a good dinner with good service, but not much for decor. Just to be fair, I will say up front that I basically reserve 5 stars for a Gordon Ramsey quality restaurant. If I was just rating this place against similar styles of restaurants I would give it 4 out of 5. When you walk in the decor is pretty basic, but It looked very clean and well kept. I also noticed the clientele was mostly over 50. This is definitely not a place for 20 somethings to go out to on a friday night, but it might be a good place to stop in for a quick lunch or breakfast. As I walked in I was greeted very nicely and brought to a table. I started reading the menu and it had a lot of standard diner type food, such as pancakes, eggs, BLT's, and hamburgers. The thing that threw me off was that the back half of the menu was all Mexican dishes. I always get a little nervous when a restaurant can't decide what style of food they serve. Also, the menu was a little too large. It took me a while as a first time visitor to go through it all and decide what I wanted. After looking through the menu i decided to go with something light, a BLT with chicken noodle soup. The chicken noodle soup came first and I thought it was one of the best chicken noodle soups I have eaten. The veggies tasted like the soup was cooked freshly that day. There were large pieces of celery and carrots that were nicely cooked but not mush. The chicken looked like it was freshly grilled chicken breast cut it into small pieces. The broth was very tasty and perfectly seasoned. Next my BLT came and it looked really good. It was a large sized sandwich with perfectly grilled bread. The lettuce and tomatoe looked very fresh and the bacon was large and crisp. For desert I had a piece of coconut cake. It tasted like coconut cream pie. My only complaint is that the cake was a little dry and had so much frosting on the outside that I could not eat that part. Overall I had a good experience and will probably stop in again to try breakfast. If I have as good of an experience next time as I did today I probably will move my rating to 4 stars.

Fare is a bit above average, but they have a large menu and everything that I've had is decent. Service is a bit above average as well. I like the family atmosphere and enjoy it when we go
(4)Briana B.
I'm disappointed in this place now... It used to be the kind of place where you were appreciated for supporting their small business... Now the food is good and the service is terrible. We did not get greeted for 20 mins and others around us did not as well. I will not be back.

Good food fast n friendly service only one bad meal French dip very tuff but the waitress made it right no questions we always take our 93 yr old mother n she always like what she has green chili could use some spice the sausage is really delish
(5)Shannan M.
Love this place so much! Vegetarian green chili, three of the best words in my vocabulary. A rare find, and very good here! Green Chili in breakfast is awesome! There breakfast burrito is super yummy, very filling and a fantastic deal! Less than 6 bucks! Service is friendly, owner is cool, just expanded it too, lots of room and lighting. Plus is a small business, love supporting my neighbors! Only downsides are the decor is lacking and cheaply done is places and the menu is a little too advantageous, but the breakfast is rock solid!

Many opportunities of sampling their entries with consistent coupons being mailed to the house.. finally for some odd reason, had chance to stop by for breakfast on recent Saturday morning. When we got there around 11 AM., the place was packed. Its kinda small place inside the strip mall, about 3000 square feet. Nothing special to write home about.. and I forgot to bring the coupons.. darn it. We were seated promptly, the waitress came over quickly and brought the water and took the drink order. I must say, they had great selection of breakfast entries and also lunch and such. Each of our order had big serving of breakfast potatoes (scalloped kind) and the usual sides of bacon, eggs and such.. I had waffle combo and the price was reasonable and tasted good. Just like the sign, they serve home style cooked meal. The food reminded me of Dimitri's on Havana before they sold it to someone else.. the menu reminded and price reminded me of Le Peep in the olden days. I will definitely do the repeat business. Keep up the good work. 11/21/13 Plenty of bacon with my bfast order. Now serving liquor. $2.50 modelo happy hour special.
(4)Christy M.
I LOVE this place.... Frequent it with my siblings for breakfast. The owner is fun and one if the nicest people I've ever met. The food is delicious. You can tell it's REAL food. No village inn insta eggs here!!! Good Pepsi and coffee.
(5)Ladii L.
...you know, for a spot with such delicious food at such a great price you'd think the service would be exceptional too. The staff is unbelievably negligent, appears inconvenienced when you ask for anything, and argues with you as you attempt to place your order in person or over the phone. Really sad. I refuse to give my money to someplace that doesn't respect me. You've lost a customer for life.
(1)Meg T.
My new favorite go-to for comfort food! The French Onion soup was to die for. The ranch dressing tastes homemade. I had an ultimate foodgasm in that booth, and I will definitely be back for more!
(5)Don D.
Great find for breakfast. They have a hugh variety of menu items. Had the Italian sausage skillett. Very good except to much marinara. Service was excellent and facility was very clean. Only reason didnt give five stars is the decor seems very blah and the crumbled biscuit already on the chair they sat me at. Definitely me back.
(4)Pat T.
Sad to say bur after eating here for over three years regularly, I'm sorry to report that as of late, the food is becoming mediocre at best.
(2)Shannon D.
It is a breakfast all day sort of place, with a mom's home cooking. We were there on Saturday night and at the age of 41 were made to feel quite young by the other patrons! It is like Village Inn with much better food. The service leaves a lot to be desired. Prices are alright. It is Mom's home cooking, nothing more.
(3)Laura D.
Although they don't have Catfish and Eggs as a regular menu item, they were happy to make me my favorite breakfast when the waiter overheard me wishing for it. Very tasty catfish! My daughter had huge fluffy pancakes. Staff is efficient and friendly. We are visiting my grandmother, and happened upon this restaurant. I've now bookmarked it for future visits. We'll definitely be back.
(5)Dennis D.
Been awhile since I wrote but ate here for breakfast and kids suggested I review. I like this place, it takes coupons and that cuts the cost down, I am very cheap, I am also very picky. I think this place does exactly what it is supposed to do. Serve decent food quickly, it has the bland, American style of generic food that most people want when they are JUS hungry. I really have NO complaints about this place, it is so obviously a small family style diner that no one could expect anything else, no pretension here. I ate the Irish corned beef, eggs were perfect, hash browns had become more like fried smashed potatoes but okay, Plenty of food, Kids had special, vey good, Combo breakfast standard, They both complimented the quality of the pancakes and waffle Overall a good deal Look for coupons on restaurant dot com or Valpak online

I drive through the shopping strip that its in quite frequently, and noticed that there's a lot of patron traffic in and out of here, so we came in for dinner one evening. I ordered the chili-mac bowl, and man was I disappointed. Imagine if you were to take a can of cheap, bean-less chili, mix it with about 2 cups of water and throw it over a large bowl of pasta; that is what I got. Some sliced canned jalapenos and burnt to hell cheesy garlic bread slices garnished the bowl. My husband's large plate of supreme nachos was absolutely nothing made of scratch, i.e. we could've bought everything from King Soopers and spent less then the meal. Husband also pointed out his beer glass was not cold...if that's important to you. The best part of the meal was my salad, and only because I like house dressing. What attracted me to this place was the sense that everything there was comfort food...of course, not everything in any place is going to be made from scratch, BUT, its like, NOTHING was made fresh. Even the nachos in the supreme nachos were cold and stale. Honestly, I was embarassed after the meal because I had to convince my man to come out to this side of town just for a dinner. I've had worse, hence 2 stars...hopefully others have had a better experience.
(2)Michael P.
Central and East Aurora's best breakfast and lunch spot. Good food served by people who care...prices are just about right.
(4)David G.
Great neighborhood diner. The food isn't gourmand, so if that's what you want, eat elsewhere. This is the place where the cops all meet for lunch in the middle of the week. Other than a couple of families, there was just myself, the cops and most of the seniors in neighborhood. These folks don't waste their time or money with a lot of nonsense, and this is the place for that kind of crowd. They've recently expanded - doubled the size of the dining room. I've also noticed that this end of the parking lot is always full. Lots of good signs for Jus' Grill. I had the breakfast chicken-fried steak and eggs. Large portions. The hash browns were okay - certainly not bad; but I imagined they'd come with onions in a place like this. Everything else was really good. Fast service, food at the table almost immediately. I get the idea that they're often very busy, but I walked right in and sat down, ate and was gone and back home in under 45 minutes and for just over $10. Really nice waitress, too. We'll definitely be back.
(5)Danny B.
Well finally a lace what smothered is when it comes to Mexican food . What a delite to fine a clean good service cafe. For sure that I will be. Coming back to this place.
(4)Andrew P.
Good friendly service. Not the fanciest breakfast and don't expect a 'snooze'. Our usual go to for inexpensive breakfast that's hot, filling, and satisfying. Especially love the fluffy airy pancakes. Nice busy crowds for lunch and dinner, but I haven't tried their dinner service yet. Food is fast and the coffee always flows.
(4)C D.
We enjoy the breakfast very very much! Fast decent priced food. Would recommend to anyone in the area.
(4)Doug K.
Great place to eat comfort food. Large portions, reasonably priced and the food is great. Nice selection on the menu. I haven't tried the steak but the Mexican and the sandwiches and the pot roast! YUM YUM! They recently expanded....waiting isn't usually a problem...service is fast and friendly. (I've eaten so called Gourmet and wasn't impressed with the price, flavor or atmosphere....I think it's just for those that have the bucks and want to spend it :) ) Yeah, I'm a fan of Jus' Grill!
(4)Mean Guy I.
Been here three times, first time I had a french dip, three slices of meat on a 6 inch roll and a soda 13.00 bucks..... Ok so that sucks.... Next trip breakfast....here's an improvement... Still pricey had a simple two eggs, sausage and toast breakfast.... Ca Ching ... What ever its close and convenient, third time breakfast.... Sucked...... Bitter ice tea, hair in the omelet, pissy owner when I called them on it.... No attempt to comp the meal. And his piss house attitude lost me as a costumer.... Attitude is everything, if you own a business please make an attempt to care...
(2)Amy G.
This place is so delicious! My husband, son and I love to go here on the weekends for breakfast -- the waffles are a MUST! Get there early though, this place is super busy on the weekends, but worth the wait ;)
(5)M B.
So for the past month I've been trying to come up with something to write about a place that we took a friend to, Jus' Grill. I have to admit, there isn't much to say about Jus' Grill. The food is good but not fall out of your chair good/great. The service is for those that like a hands off kind, they give you crafts of water or your drink so they don't have to keep refilling your glass. The decor is almost non-exist, and small tables. The food as I said is good but nothing that I can't make at home. The flavoring is there but nothing pops. I had the stake and cheese enchiladas. The stake was flavored well and it came through with all the cheese and green chili sauce. The rice was just another version of Spanish Rice, some seasoning but not a lot. Simon had the Jambalaya with a house salad. The dish had good flavoring and the pasta was cooked well. He did find a shrimp shell mixed in. Our friend had the Tilapia fish with rice and broccoli. He said that the fish was cooked well, not dry and the rice and broccoli was good. After asking the waiter for a desert menu, I ordered a Sunday, Simon ordered a Apple Pie and our friend ordered a Blueberry Pie. The pies were reheated. Simon's was nice a warm but our friend's pie had sections that were still frozen. Over all, I can't help but think of Jus' Grill, as just another grill/restaurant with a large menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Good food but not great. Ok service and small tables. If you don't feel like cooking and want to spend little money, Jus' Grill is the place to go. Maybe we'll go back for breakfast, as I hear that it what they are known best for.
(2)Yara T.
Came here after reading what seemed like very positive reviews. Upon entering, we were acknowledged right away and were even given a choice of what table we could sit at. After ordering, we waited about 10 minutes before we got our food. I got the southwest eggs Benny, and quite frankly, there's nothing "Wow" about any of it. The hash browns aren't hash browns, more like a pile of semi smashed potatoes. The hollandaise sauce is runny & bland. The service is okay, but that plays a big role in the overall experience. Waitress dropped the food off, and walked away. Not a "how's everything look" or a "anything else I can get you?" You know, the typical things you expect. Still, sitting here 15 minutes later after getting our food, she hasn't come by to check on us. I'll eat the food because I ordered it, but I won't be back.
(2)Jay L.
If I want good, basic, simple, fresh diner food, cheap and fast, I will go to Jus Grill. (Get a Coupon, Don't pay retail, BO Regular Price/GO $.99) We are breakfast at any hour people and this place is great. Hot and fresh, definitely made to order without a lot of overreaching and simple service. What would you like, how is it, can I get this plate, have a nice day, a little schmoozing and you can hang out when it is not busy and not get the stink eye. How can you tell if a place gives a crap? I walk over to give the cashier the coupon sheet I got in the mail, she takes scissors out, cuts out the one I am going to use and gives me back the rest. Most places grab the whole sheet, heaven forbid we would come back again and use ANOTHER coupon. Reminds me of a truck stop or diner in a small town. Even the bathroom was clean. This place is our goto.
(4)Jodi A.
This little place in the shopping center next to King Soopers is very popular. All the seats were taken for breakfast, so we sat at the bar. I ordered the chicken fried steak skillet, it was very good. I would like to come back to try their lunch and dinner fare.
(4)Candy K.
Jus' Grill has expanded due to the neighborhood's demand for great food at good prices. We often eat there and have many favorite dishes. We take guests there whenever we get a chance because of the large variety on the menu, and we have NEVER had a bad meal there! Very good food, very good service, very good value for the prices. Eat IN and ENJOY!
(5)Elizabeth R.
Boyfriend & I decided to grab lunch here one day because we had a good coupon. The service was fine, not particularly friendly but it was quick and we were well taken care of! The menu is so big, if you're visiting for the first time it will probably take you a while to review everything & make a choice. They seem to have lots of hearty American dishes as well as Mexican dishes. We started off with the sample platter for our appetizer. Fried zuccini, onion rings, wings and mozarella sticks. Delicious!! For our entree, my boyfriend ordered the Top Sirloin Steak with mashed potatos. The steak was cooked exactly how he asked, and was really good. The mashed potatos had a long black hair in it. This is the only reason I give this place 3 stars. To me this is not okay by ANY standards. I ordered the steak and shrimp fajita, it came with salsa, beans, guacamole, rice and lettuce on the side which was great, my whole meal was delicious. Then to end...I got a slice of hot apple pie for dessert, and was very pleased with it! warm and gooey...really hit the spot. I'm sure the hair thing doesn't happen frequently...but we will probably not go back because it understandably grossed us out a LOT. P.S.- Pricing is VERY reasonable, large portions for not too much $$ per meal. That I was impressed with.
(3)Tanya N.
Do not eat here.. had so much hair in my food and the waitress acted like there was nothing wrong. Be careful.
(1)Slayde S.
Jus' Grill is a pretty great breakfast spot if you are looking for something more Home Cooked than iHop. In our group we ordered the Breakfast Burrito, Frittata and Huevos Rancheros... all were Delish! You should know my husband is a Huevos Rancheros connoisseur and wouldn't say it was the best he ever had but a great contender, especially for a decently priced breakfast. I couldn't post pictures because everyone immediately dove in to their deliciously smelling meals but I'll try next time. Side note, it seems like a good sign that they get pretty busy on a weekend (breakfast) but they seem to seat you fairly quickly.
(4)Cody H.
This is a great neighborhood diner. Good food at very decent prices. My family and I have ate their at least half a dozen times and have always had good experiences. Service at times leaves a little to be desired. Overall a nice place and will be back. Their Mexican entrees are better than you receive in a lot of Mexican restaraunts.
(4)Carl S.
First time. I had a club sandwich (a safe sandwich for a first time in a cafe). It was BIG. I mean this thing had to be 4, maybe 5 inches thick. And the fries were very good, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and not greasy. The decor is just cheap diner. It's in a strip mall as has been mentioned so it's nothing fancy. It's food... Not bad, not great. Just food. I would probably eat here again if I was in the area and hungry. Our server was friendly enough and not annoying (a good thing).
(3)Dave S.
Located in a strip mall with a ton of parking... oh.... I'm in Denver where there is always plenty of parking. About 18 tables in this modernly decorated restaurant with a big flat screen in the corner in case the Broncos, Avs, Nuggets or Rockies are on. I decided to have the Chicken Fried Steak with biscuits (hahaha... sorry... You'll see later) and Gravy. Sister had the green chili breakfast burrito. We walked in with only 5 tables filled and by the time we left, every table was filled, so this place is popular with the locals. The steak is a deep fried variety and it was a modest size. Not the smallest i've seen and not the largest. The batter on the steak was seasoned very well and the gravy was the basic white gravy with bits of sausage. The steak was fork cutting tender. I liked the steak. What wasn't impressive was the biscuits. When I ordered, I had the option of Toast or Pancakes. I switched it to biscuits. What I ended up getting looked like two small dollar size pancakes with gravy on top. These biscuits have to be the smallest biscuits known to man. So, they lose a star because the embarrasing biscuits. My Sister had the green chili breakfast burrito and I tried some of it. The bacon is really smokey and good and the green chili in the burrito gave it good flavor. What was really wierd was the green chili sauce that either goes on top of the burrito or inside. She asked for it on the side so she could regulate the amount of heat. The side of green chili didn't even look like green chili. It wasn't even green. It was a brownish orange color and was loaded with corn starch to give it that gravy thickness. It wasn't appealing to the eyes and it tasted just like that Ortega Taco Sauce you by in the bottle. This green chili sauce is something I would never order again.
(2)David M.
We typically like to go out to experience new food and flavors, that we don't normally experience at home. With that said, we tried the breakfast here and we found the flavors to be very ordinary and typical. We really could have done this at home, perhaps even better at home. We will watch the reviews and if we determine that the flavors improve and pizazz is introduced, we may give it another try.
(2)Susan E.
After reading Curt's review of this place, I had to take my husband there - we're both "mature" and "also heavy". So I figured it would fit us pretty well - and it did!! It's a great place. The food isn't fancy, but it's real. It's the kind of restaurant we used to eat at when we were kids. OK - so much for reminiscing. Now for the real review: Like I said, the food is the real, old-fashioned kind. When we ate there, I had a chicken pot pie served with fresh melon chunks. It was delicious. My husband had 3 huge pancakes with fresh sliced strawberries. They were very good, too. I had a piece of pumpkin pie with whipped cream for dessert (and they know how to put on enough whipped cream, too!). They had lots of other great-looking food on the menu, but I couldn't try it all in one meal - we'll have to go back! Unfortunately, the decaf tasted a little burned, but that was a very minor issue for us. The atmosphere is nice, too. It's very clean and well-lighted. And the music is just loud enough to hear, but not overwhelming like many places where we've eaten. The waitress was very nice, the service was good, and we didn't feel "rushed" at all. We've added it to our "destination" places, even though we drove a little over 7 miles to get there. Did I mention we really liked it? I'd strongly recommend this place - especially for "mature" people. :)
(4)Dee B.
A favorite place for the wife and I for breakfast on weekends. Good size menu coupled with pretty quick and friendly service makes a good place to enjoy our meal. Not over the top on the cuisine, but a basic breakfast the way it should be. Have to echo the coupon sentiment, no sense in paying retail here.
(3)AJ T.
Clean, friendly, and the food is good. What else is there? We used a certificate that required that we spend $40. We ate until we couldn't move and we were still short. Hefty portions to say the least. We will go back.
(4)Ami R.
We went for breakfast on a Sunday. This place was really busy. It's not very big either. We didn't have to wait but some people did. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The food was really good and pretty large portions. I like that they put a carafe of water on your table. Good prices. I love to find new places for breakfast and I will definitely be back.
(4)Jessica S.
They always have delicious food with new options every week. Staff is really friendly and inviting. Has an awesome breakfast selection at great prices!
(5)Karen V.
Love hole in the wall local joints, specifically ones with great breakfast food. The staff is always great and my skillet is always yum! One of those places I am happy to wait in line for. If your in Aurora, defiantly check out this place.
(4)Shannon M.
Diner style breakfast. The food is consistently good. The wait staff can be very friendly or just really rushed depending on the day. Coffee is ok and I have had the pancakes, huevos rancheros, spanish omlette, Jus' Two Eggs but never had anything but breakfast. I do not like the potatoes/hashbrowns as I prefer my potatoes to be cooked more and in my opinion these are under done in the middle. The food is similar quality to chains like LePeep. I try to get someone to share with me because the portions are really large. They are very fast with their service, leave coffee in a carafe and a pitcher of water on the table and you pay your bill at the register like most diners. I think they have fair prices and we will often meet my family here for an affordable breakfast. They can get pretty busy and the waiting area is by the bathrooms so that is awkward. If you have to wait I sugget doing it outside on the bench. I would say if they try to sit you in the table by the bathroom to just offer to wait for another table. Sat here once and not only are you looking at the bathroom door but everyone waiting to eat is staring at your food. Really uncomfortable. I wish they would rearrange a bit to make the dining area better. The tables and floors are clean and so is the bathroom. I will continue to go to Jus' for a diner style breakfast.

Jus' Grill opened around March 1st of this year (2010), a couple of doors down in the strip mall (Buckley Square) from my local dry cleaner and my beloved Starbucks. It's a clean, small, diner-ish restaurant with a roughly 30x30 dining room, and decorated in a plain but not unpleasant way. I had a hard time deciding how to categorize them, but I guess American (Traditional) is the best fit. About half of their menu is breakfast foods - they have just about everything you can think of in a wide variety of pancakes, crepes, skillets, french toast, breakfast sandwiches, burritos, on down to plain old bacon and eggs. The remainder of the menu (lunch and dinner) is fairly generic, but extensive for such a small place. Steaks, salads, burgers, all the standard sandwiches (BLT, club, etc, etc), pasta dishes and so on. In addition to this there is a "Mexican Dishes" and a "Breakfast Mexicanos" section with about 8 and 4 different choices (respectively), a few kids selections (breakfast and lunch) and a selection of espresso drinks (they have a machine). Prices for virtually all entrees are $7-10 as of this writing. As a new restaurant, they're clearly still figuring things out, and there were a few service mistakes (and mistakes on the check -- the guy who rang me up admitted "we're still learning the prices"). No biggie -- they fixed them without delay. The food is OK, but obviously we'll need a couple more visits to figure that out completely. We ordered the chips and salsa for an appetizer and found that they use pre-made corn tortilla "variety" chips (i.e. regular, red, and blue corn chips), and they serve Pace mild salsa. That's a shame, but it makes them like most other small non-Mexican restaurants who serve chips and salsa. My wife had a Turkey Avocado sandwich with fries, and it was fine. I had a chicken fajita salad and it was good but pretty generic. All in all, it's nice to have a new alternative in the neighborhood of Iliff and Buckley, especially a locally owned and operated non-franchise business. I'll update this review once we've had a couple of more experiences here -- especially breakfast (which seems to be their strong suit)!
(3)Curt K.
I really like having a regular food place in the neighborhood run by a family. I chuckle when I go in- usually the place is filled with more mature people and also heavy people. Usually solid good food at a ok price. The dining room is simple, breakfast is good , service is usually pretty good, and I have found the food to be consistant.- not a fancy place- but nice to be able to run over for lunch while wearing comfy day off attire.
(4)Dee S.
Went back to have breakfast. Breakfast burrito wasn't what I expected. Expected Eggs, Bacon and potatoes, each item separate in the burrito. Instead, got eggs, bacon and green chilis all scrambled together and put in a tortilla. Also didn't expect the green chili to be orange. For $7 it was just okay.
(2)Iam N.
love the breakfast, havent tried lunch yet. the biscuts and gravy and to die for!!
(4)John B.
This is one of those places that's nice to have around if you live, shop, or work nearby. But it's not destination dining. I decided to try them when I checked Yelp for someplace different for my midweek breakfast out today. I never shop in this area, and don't even drive by very often, so I doubt I'd have visited if it weren't for Yelp. For starters, the place isn't very cozy. You know the corporate "lunch rooms" some employers provide? Clean, and functionally furnished for it's stated purpose, but not so comfortable you'd want to hang out there. That's what this place reminded me of. Not bad, just not very good. The food and service were pretty good. I had the breakfast burrito. There were lots of eggs and chorizio inside, smothered with a very tasty green chili and cheese. There was a generous portion of nicely cooked home fries on the side. The coffee was OK but not remarkable. They served it in a decanter so I could take care of my own refills...I like that. They also gave me carafe of ice water without my having to ask...I like that, too. The final bill was only $8.45...got them one more star than I was originally going to give. Acceptable, but it didn't make my regular rotation.
(3)Morgan J.
We received a gift certificate for Jus Grill and thought we'd give it a try. The service was ok, the food was TERRIBLE! My kids had mac and cheese that looked great but tasted like mush. My husband had cheese enchiladas that were tasteless. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and had to send it back because it was raw. Once it was cooked, it also had no flavor. The food was pricey and had no taste. We will not be coming back to Jus Grill
(1)Richard K.
Average diner, nothing special. Our waitress was bad, couldn't remember what anyone ordered, slapped the check on the table and never came back.
(3)Paul R.
This is for the new "restaurant" on the corner of 6th and 225. Wow what can I say. I should have known better then to order fish from a restaurant that sells its self as a home cooking place. The fish was freezer burnt the broccoli was cold and the rice seemed as though it came out of a box. The chicken breast was more of a filet and was not sure if it was the chicken or a piece of fish. I only ate a few bites when I decided to complain to the manager that was about 20 something that said he knew nothing about the fish he was serving. The only thing the manager did was to give me a %10 discount on the two meals. All we ate was the generic salad that seemed as though it came from a bag and the typical dinner roll. in short the food was bad, the waitress was very nice and apologized. I told her it was not her fault but the food was bad and the putz of a manager was an idiot.
(1)Robert H.
This is now my go-to local breakfast place. It's pretty typical diner breakfast fare, but everything I've tried so far has been good, though not spectacular. Portions are adequate and the price is right. To compare to chain breakfast places, I'd say they're a notch above Le Peep and Village Inn, and 2 notches up on Denny's. Still no replacement for the Egg-ception, though. :-( One drawback: If you come during the rush hour and have to wait for a table, the only place to wait is across from the bathrooms. This could kill your appetite.
