Menu is really extensive, but food was average. Lots of grease in my chorizo scrambled eggs. Service was slow.

Their steak hamburger was to DIE FOR. It was my husband's order and I kept stealing bites from him. My veggie omelet was also very satisfying, scrumtious and filling.

A friendly place to meet and eat. Good was great, just like grandma used to make. Big portions, low prices. Waitress (wish I got her name!) provided really good service. Looks like the locals like it, too.

We just ate crepes here so don't know about the rest of the food. The service was good and had no complaints. The crepes were a little on the expensive side. We had 2 crepes with nutella inside and strawberries, bananas, blueberries and whipped cream on top. Price $10.95. They do close daily at 3pm.

This is your typical coffee shop. Being that is called Jack’s Country Kitchen I expected better biscuits and gravy. I took one bite and pushed it aside. The rest of the meal was good and the service was good.

We always eat here for breakfast. Just plain good food and fast friendly service. No expensive frills. We come here to dive so a good wholesome breakfast is a must... Definitely recommend.

The pancakes were rubber and the gravy was really greasy. The atmosphere was nice and service was quick though.

In five days we ate three times at Steve's. Enjoyed everything but absolutely blown away by new York strip. Beautiful cut of meat perfectly cooked medium rare. Wait staff friendly and attentive.
