Jumbo's Diner

Reviews & Tips

  The ONLY reason we drove out of our way one random Saturday morning to come here, was because of such good Yelp reviews.
  
  The interior was dirty looking, horribly decorated, and just plain weird feeling...not even in a cute, kitschy diner sort of way, either. It was a Saturday morning, but the place wasn't too busy. I'd say probably 8 other tables were full. We waited for almost an hour & a half to get our food. I am not exaggerating. Our waitress only came once in that 1.5 hour time span to refill our drinks, but offered no explanation as to why it was taking so long, and certainly no apologies. I am a really easy person to please. If she had just said, "Sorry it's taking so long!" I would be completely placated. I am pretty sure she either left work, or the kitchen forgot our order, because we had to flag down another waitress to inquire about our food. She went back to the kitchen and brought it out within 5 minutes.
  
  I was really hoping the food was going to be terrible so I could just blast this place. But alas...it was really, really good. I got an omelet which was huge & fresh-tasting and their buttered toast was literally one of the best things I've ever put in my mouth. I am so mad it was so good.
  
  Although the food was delicious, the ambiance and the horrible service will prevent me from returning.

  We go to Jumbo's every morning for coffee to meet up with relatives when visiting in the area.  It's nostalgic, has been in business here since I can remember.  Great location, right on main street, across from the river.  I like to stroll down mainstreet or across the town square after breakfast.  I had eggs, toast and tea, everything was fine.  Not gourmet, but that's not why you go here.  Go for the history of the place.

  It's no secret I like greasy spoon diners, especially when the have a lot of personality or quirk, and this place had both.  It's got the counter and a whole room full of tables.  There were a few families just hanging out and everyone seemed to be having a good time.  The woman working the grill was going back and forth with one of the waitresses in hilarious banter, so I had a good meal and a good show.  Coffee was decent and my omelet was spot on, pretty much exactly the heavy meal you go into a diner looking for.

  Way good eats! Homemade bread, Grilled cinnamon rolls, and good coffee. Great location on Gouverneur's town square. Ate from the breakfast menu twice and was not dissapointed at all.

  We liked visiting the town where the life saver was invented. Jumbo's Diner was perfect corner place to come right on in to get your day started with breakfast. Perfect diner with classic history all over it. They told us that they are trying hard to get the place historical so they could remodel the place. I hope it does get a piece of history only because the address is actually Number 1 and on Main street. It use to be a Pharmaceutical place or drug store. The history is seen with the locals that come in and when I got my breakfast they served home made bread that was sliced and toasted. Ahhhhhh so good! Way better than any loaf made in the store! My omelet was loaded with veggies and mozzarella cheese. Just the way I do like it. Coffee was topped off as many times as I wanted. Friendly atmosphere and perfect for simple coffee and pie is what I see and was told. Fresh pies made right there and served. Guess you will have to come on in and grab a spot and check it out. I had a Veggie omelet, Home made toast, and coffee. Will we return? Umm yeah! Better than Mc Donalds that is across the street~ Love the old homes here!!! Amish people are around selling by the stores too. Come get some Breakfast here. Sheesh! Ya missin out!
