We were visiting RIT and looking for cool places to eat and see where locals may hang out. The menu was very big with lots to choose from. The service was very good. We went on a very busy day and were seated pretty quickly considering. Everyone was very nice. I went to try the chicken and waffles. There were many reviewers stating that they were the “best they ever had”. I disagree with these reviewers. The chicken and waffles were very average best. My daughter really liked her Florentine eggs Benedict. Said it was better than average. Overall it was a good experience and if I lived here I may try other items of the menu.
We visited here after touring the George Eastman Museum. What a great place!!! Everything was top notch: the service, the food, and the overall experience could not have been better. We were so impressed to see the owner checking on customers and cleaning tables. Leadership through example! Our server was wonderful and attentive. Lunch was delicious and hot. Have absolutely no complaints, only high praise. Also loved the overall vibe of the neighborhood. Nice walk from the museum.We are vacationing from Virginia and this will hold a special memory. Thank you!
My husband and I chose to have Jines cater for our post-wedding breakfast. Such a great decision! It was super stress free, as it was all delivered to our home the morning of the event. The food was hot when it arrived and packaged ready to be placed out for guests. The food was SO good, especially the french toast, bacon and the croissants! Aside from catering, we go to Jines often and it never disappoints. Highly recommend!!
When I see long menus at places it makes me nervous - how can you do so many things well? I ponder.This time my expectations were exceeded. I ordered the Orange Marmalade Stuffed French Toast - my server told me that is what always brought her to Jines before she worked here. It was delicious!You can get maple syrup as a side, which is well worth the extra $1.50.My brother was also with me and he got a Frittata, which was also delicious.We enjoyed our outdoor seating and the service was friendly and prompt.
The food is really good! The waitress was really, really Amazing! She was way beyond expectations! But the hostess is extremely rude and not helpful at all. Was the only downside of our experience!
We found Jines on Google Maps after visiting the Eastman Museum. This has got to be one of the greatest restaurant operations weve ever been to. A well oiled machine where every employee as well as the owner works in great synergy to make the dining experience perfect. The food was outstanding and the whole place was spotlessly clean. If we lived in Rochester, Jines would be our regular place to eat.
Came here JUST for the gluten free pancakes and waffles and THEY DONT HAVE THEM ANYMORE!! 😣😥We were disappointed, the are so few places we can get them GF.. disappointing. 🙁Beautiful restaurant, great service.. Food was great. Wouldve been 5 stars except for the NO GLUTEN FREE Pancakes or Waffles. 🙁Also credit card receipts print HUGE and lots of paper? Seems like they could turn that option off. The check was detailed already. 🤷♀️
Food is usually good and quick!! BUT I ordered a CRAB quiche and directly asked the host if it was real crab or imitation. I was told it was real crab and got it back to the office and it was the pollock with red dye. PLEASE LABEL CORRECTLY or at least tell your staff not to misinform
Not your average dinner. Good selection, food, and atmosphere. Their Greek dishes are a must try.
A fantastic place for brunch! So many options at a great price!
If I wanted scrambled eggs I would have simply ordered it! Not sure who they have working in their kitchen but this is NOT the omelette that I ordered nor have I been getting over the past year. I order a veggie omelette very often from this place and every time was great; you know perfectly cooked egg stuffed with veggies and cheese topped with hollandaise sauce😋. Well some inexperienced fool decided to SCRAMBLE my eggs, over cooking the veggies and then adding cheese to the middle and folding it as if they did a job well done! And to top it off there was no hollandaise sauce in sight! If I want a mediocre “omelette “ that’s scrambled I could’ve went to any other diner, because that sees to be what they’re all doing…..I come to this place specifically because they seemed to be the only ones that knew how to make an authentic in rushed omelette. Not only did I have to endure this deplorable slop whomever I spoke with over the phone was rude about it, saying that I should have “specified” how I wanted it cooked! As if I need to tell a restaurant how to properly prepare something that they had been doing right until now. NEVER AGAIN will I patron this place.UPDATE: It was properly redone and the employees were awesome about it when I got there. Thank you!
Quick delicious and amazing food and mimosas. Menu has a huge variety and wait was less than 10 minutes..loved it!
Excellent food and better coffee!! OJ choice of pulp or no pulp🤯.
Excellent souvlaki and baklava. Warm and inviting atmosphere. Friendly and efficient servers who smiled with their eyes, given that they were all wearing their masks. I will return!
Amazing. Best Greek food Ive had. Also, just the food in general was great.We got slouvaki, shrimp, burgers and beef sandwich.I was a bit disappointed in the texture of the shakes... maybe thats the way they do it here. I like it colder and thicker.Anastasia was extremely helpful, courteous and professional. She was also quick and efficient.Very glad I made the decision to come here as part of our vacation.
Their food has always been fantastic.
Lamb burger was very good. So was the shish kabob. Very good service and very nice atmosphere. Seemed a little pricy, but overall good food and good service.
Today like always... At Jines was an awesome experience. Food was fantastic and the wait staff were friendly and very accommodating. I really enjoyed myself.
Really like this resturant. The food was excellent,the service staff friendly, and efficient even on a hot summer day. We were lucky to get an outside table near the entrance. It gets busy during lunch so come early or call for a reservations.
Always great experience at Jines. As someone who lived here for 8 years, this spot always wins my heart. Nice service and yummy, non-pricey food!
Excellent selection of middle eastern and american food. Good service and clean environment. The window booths are nice also
We live nearby and order here a lot and our order is always correct and yummy. 4 stars for price; some items I feel are steep. Last time we ate in, we ordered fried zucchini which tasted fishy, like they were fried in the fish oil. We sent the dish back and the manager came out to talk to us. We told him about the fishy-ness and he admitted they were fried in the fish oil and was apologetic. He took the zucchini off the bill and offered us another dish. We were very happy with his service and the rest of the food. Some places make you feel like you are the one in the wrong. We will continue to come here often.
Was very impressed with the breakfast I had. Staff was super friendly and area was very clean. Will deff be back.
Love the food here and the service is was splendid. I recommend giving this place a try when you can.
Ate her twice for breakfast. Both times everything was great. Service is a little slow, but where isnt it these days?
Very nice sidewalk café-style restaurant with some unique choices. I liked my lamb-burger. Good service also
The food was good, I’ll give them that. Our hostess was rude. We had a reservation for 10 and two were late and she would not let them in. I had to argue with her even though they were under the reservation. The server was nice but she ignored us for 40minutes. We waited 40 for the to take our order. Unbelievable.
I love sitting outside enjoying their patio. Waitress was fantastic 👏 food was ok, I have had better tasting omelets, however it was a good experience.
While you wont find anything mind blowing on the menu, there is a reason this corner restaurant has parking filled to a ridiculous degree on a regular basis. The food is good, and people know it! Some items are a bit pricier but most follow average dine-in pricing with friendly (if a bit overwhelmed) staff. Not a bad place to stop if you have the time to wait 20 minutes for a grilled cheese sandwich, itll be worth the wait.
The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the outside seating was lovely! Highly recommend!
An excellent meal. Wide range of choices for breakfast (served throughout the day) plus lunch and dinner. Always prepared well, and with great service. Worth a wait!
Eating at Jines was a very pleasant experience. There is a wife variety of dishes available. Its almost overwhelming. The staff is very friendly as well. Id go back! 👍🏽
Always a pleasant experience at Jines. I love the atmosphere. Its perfect for dining alone, with someone else, a group, you name it! Great for dates and all sorts of life events! I used to live off Park and still come back to specifically visit Jines quite a bit. The owner is one of the most involved and caring individuals Ive ever seen in the restaurant industry. He always talks to his staff with respect and dignity and never criticizes them or lashes out regardless of if things went right or wrong. Hes the first to use things as learning experiences and it shows. The staff is cohesive, well trained, and Ive yet to ever experience a bad server here. When youve got good owners who work right on the line with their staff like Jines does, its a recipe for continued success. The food is always great and they legit have the best Vegetarian Chili Ive ever had (plus it doesnt have mushrooms which is even better for someone like me who is allergic to many of them). Rochester wouldnt be the same without Jines.
Consistently good. They do breakfast and lunch equally well. Banana bread French toast is always a great choice for breakfast, and for lunch you can’t go wrong. Often overlooked are the quality of the French fries, which are some of the best in the city. Most of the plates are around $10, which is obviously a good value. Some of the better sidewalk dining on Park Avenue — great people watching!
Staff was professional and prices were a bit high but reasonable.
It was great eating w my daughter 22nd B-Day. We enjoy ar selves ☺️😉☺️
Lunch was good... Had my usual Chili bowl... Rekindled prepandemic memories but just a little kick in the spice would have gained a big 5star.
Jines is my favorite restaurant in the Rochester area. The food is always good and service is always great. This is my go to spot when people come to visit!
I placed an order online, completed the payment which Jine’s website makes you do before completing your order. I waited until the appropriate time and went to the hostess stand outside and inquired as to whether I would go inside to pickup an order. The hostess told me to go inside and my food would be on the table to the left. At the same time I received a text from Jine’s stating, “your order is ready.” After waiting an in front of the table for additional 5 minutes and only being recognized by a customer who was paying his bill did I tell the hostess I was still waiting for my order. She went behind the counter and spoke to the kitchen staff and few moments later brought me my order. She then proceeded to tell me, “I believe you still have to pay unless you paid online.” Even though there was a receipt staples to the bag. I told her I paid online and thanked her. As I was leaving she was also going back to the hostess stand outside, she told me to have a nice day, but it was in a semi-rude tone. As I was walking away I thought, “I didn’t realize telling you I was still waiting for my order 5 minutes after your restaurant told me it was ready to go was that much of an inconvenience.”The restaurant may have been busy, but don’t be rude to a customer because of it.
Efficient staff. Great specialty french toast. The house specialty is highly recommended. We sat outside and thankfully got there very early on sunday. It did get very busy. The nearby neighborhood is nice for a little walk.
Great food and indoor or outdoor seating. The wait staff are always friendly, and the food is always well prepared.
The food was very good. The only issue eating outside concerns nature - bees.
Great food and atmosphere. Douglas was a great server too. Love that they have gluten free options.
Excellent! The quiche was wonderful. Our server was friendly and attentive. If you havent tried Jines you should!
The food is amazing here and the service is one of the best. They have an excellent menu selection and the prices are very reasonable.
The Park Berkeley omelet is one of the best Ive ever had. Excellent service, and nice music - (Not overwhelming), reasonable prices
Clean, cool vibes, and great food!!!! I came from the Bronx to visit friends in Rochester. On my last night I met up for the first time-my fellow cancer survivor. The servers were so attentive and understanding to my friend and Is talkative conversation and how we werent ready to order. But once we got our acts together and ordered, the food was amazing!!!!!!!! Im so glad we picked this spot. It is such a great place to sit and talk and be able to listen to each other.Cant wait to go up there again to eat again at Jines!!
This is a very popular spot for indoor and outdoor dining. A variety of flavorful foods. Only complaint is that sometimes it’s so busy there can be a significant wait.
Had an amazing brunch here. food and cocktails couldnt get any better and brought my dogs on the patio!
The food is incredible here and the service staff are some of the best. I highly recommend trying this place out. And its a great place to bring the whole family for a great night out.
Such a great place for breakfast! Food and service were fantastic!!
This place is great! The owner & manager & their staff are all professional & courteous! I felt very comfortable there. The food is scrumptious, freshly made, and with overly generous portions. Not expensive either! A wonderful place to eat, relax, & rejuvenate. My friend & I saw the manager down the street afterward & told him how impressed we were with the experience, & he told us about how they make things. Very reassuring & uplifting. He is proud of his job & of Jines. I just went back there in 2/19. Again, consistently great food! big portions for not big prices. The waitress was fun & friendly. The bussers were also nice. The staff seemed to be happy, which makes for a good atmosphere. The patrons were all smiling & also happy. The whole place has a good vibe. I will go back again when Im in town. Its worth it!
Had a good brunch there. Service was great. Alas too many menu items makes it hard for this place to be great. Jack-of-all-trades master of none as the saying goes.
A great restaurant and great environment. We were able to eat our delicious food outside.
The Grape leaves were outstanding! Disappointed that my Greek salad iceberg lettuce instead of Romaine.
I order food-to-go and it was some of the worst Ive ever had. I have numerous years of experience working in kitchens, under high pressure, under-staffed, long hours, etc. There is no excuse for the quality of food I have received from here (8/17/21). Its poorly executed and sloppy, it really screams Lazy, from my point of few, considering the so-called reputation that this restaurant has. Ive given this place multiple chances and I will never be ordering from here again. Waste of money.
A favorite lunch stop. The best cheeseburgers without question - Turkey Reuben is outstanding.
Great first impressions, and extremely welcoming staff. No lunch hour wait and our food arrived in a timely manner. I have to say overall one of the best places Ive eaten out for lunch. The food was definitely worth what I paid for it, and the service was excellent. If you happen to be out of town and visiting Rochester, make this one of the go to places on your list.
Great place for breakfast. Omlettes are made with 4 eggs. Watch out 🤣
Great park ave experience. Service was quick, efficient and friendly even during a very busy lunch push. Staff was accommodating inside or outside seating, even allowing us to move seating preferences once seated. Great menu options both fresh and casual comfort.A must stop for enjoying an historic part of rochester living.
Nice place. I had the Lamb Burger and thought it was tasty!
Always consistent. Been going for 40 years.
First time at Jines....Food was amazing! The banana bread toast is must have😋
One of my favorite restaurant...fast service and great food
Awesome Mahi Mahi meal. Great summer atmosphere on the sidewalk, good friendly service. Alittle pricey... but a menu that has everything and then some to choose from! You wont regret trying out this place, I highly recommend it.
The meals were delicious. A family member and I ordered from their breakfast menu. My Western omelet and hash brown potatoes were delicious. The server was wonderful. No rushing. Came back often with fresh refills of coffee and water. She was pleasant, professional and nice. The restaurant is a treasure. I just wish there was more available parking for the customers. 👍 Kudos and thumbs up.
Great food! Portions are pretty large. Service is friendly but there was one waiter that was a bit rude . One of the most annoying things I find in places is when the waiters rush you to leave once you finnish your food. I had just finished my meal and as I was taking my last bite the waiter have me the check. And didnt ask me about desert or coffee. I was a bit thrown off as I wanted both after my meal. I told him that I wanted desert and he sighed and said hed get a menue. This obviously was not a great experience. However, the actual waitress that served me was fantastic and very kind. Over all good experiance other than the check guy.
Great Breakfast variety. Nice walkable neighborhood.
Breakfast was delicious and our server, Leo, did a fantastic job!
Great brunch spot! Outdoor seating is super nice, they have lots of space inside but theyre always busy, so be prepared to wait a little if theyre super busy! Their menu is huge, so youre bound to find at least 10 things youd like to order. This is why my friends and I normally order multiple things so we can try them all, and take some home.
The food and service were great. We sat outside in the igloo. We felt safe and were comfortable. It was only 20 degrees outside but the igloo was warm enough.
It was a nice restaurant. The food was delicious! I was disappointed that when I was given water, it was never refilled during my meal, not even once. I left the restaurant feeling thirsty. That wasnt cool. Other than that, it was a nice experience.
Went there in late afternoon. They serve breakfast all day - best part. Service was amazing, would definitely go here again, they have outdoor sitting, food options are great too. We had pita and humnus, soup, falafel sandwich, shrimp pasta, benedicts and pancakes. Pasta was delicious and so was the strawberry pancakes cooked with blueberries inside.California benedicts was the highlight for me
Delicious brunch and super friendly staff. We didnt have mimosas, but it looked like everyone else was enjoying them!
No pure maple sryup left. So my son goes to CVS across the street gets organic maple sryup. Thats for his gluten free french toast made with organic eggs. Beam me up.
Tuesday around 8AM. Seating is spaced out appropriately. Huge menu. Breakfast: 🧇🧇🧇 waffles were amazing! Fresh strawberries on top. Wow! They do have an outside greenhouse hut, but we got a window seat. Hazelnut coffee by the pot. Really great! Help a local place stay afloat!
Yummy breakfast. Great menu selection. Overpriced, but, its on Park Ave so who can blame them.
Always pleasant, good idea to go early and enjoy the people watching
Always a great place to get a bite to eat
Great place, wide menu, great service, great staff! Consist quality, excellent food.
Always excellent upscaled diner food.
One of the most comprehensive menus anywhere, and everything is good. Dine in or out, excellent service.
I have yet had a bad experience at Jines. We went there for dinner and I ordered the sea scallops Angelina. The sauce was absolutely amazing. My fiance ordered the broiled haddock which was good also. When he tried the sauce from my scallops, he wished he had ordered it too. Anyway it was a delicious dinner then we ordered apple pie ala mode. They always have the best apple pie and one of the few places that carry it.
Very friendly wait-staff - excellent menu with lots to choose from. Thank you for your care and support, and frankly, smiles throughout this past difficult year!
They continue to serve excellent food, service, and a wonderful atmosphere! It has been our favorite for years! Definitely have to check it out...
