Jeri’s Jumbos Cafe

After numerous recommendations, we decided to try Jumbo, s for breakfast. There were some hits and some misses. The hash browns, bacon and pancakes were great. The sausage gravy was average but we did not like the type of biscuits that they were serving. The portions were very large and you won’t go away hungry. May try this place again in the future but will definitely try something different then the biscuits and gravy.

Could possibly be the best breakfast Restaurant to get in the east Idaho Region hands down the best I’ve had at least. Food is fantastic and portions-​sizes are big !!!
Jeris is great and deserves six stars flat out good food!!!

We drove through southern Idaho on our way home from our vacation. This place had some pretty good ratings, so we gave it a shot.
Looks like a hole-​in-​the-​wall on the outside, but inside it was very cozy. The wait staff were nice, the service quick, and the food a cut above many other places that are out there. Food was very tasty, and I hope I get a chance to visit again some day.

Best place in Pocatello for breakfast!!! Support local! Great service, amazing food!
Heidi is a wonderful server, very prompt and attentive to our needs. Best service I’ve had in a long time!

I AM SO MAD… that I live in California & this diner is in Idaho. The food was out of those world. They don’t make diners like this anymore. So old school, I’m so happy to see a place like this has survived. The cinnamon roll was the best I’ve ever had. I have icing all over my dress as I write the review. The scone was nothing I’ve ever had before. It isn’t a scone as I know it, but what the hell do I know about scones? It was like a mini funnel cake. I really wish I could eat here weekly.

Solid breakfast stop. Good sized portions and good service. A good old fashioned truck stop where everyone is old and fat. This is a good sign for good food. The chicken fried steak is amazing!

Visited this restaurant as the reviews indicated it was #1 for breakfast in Pocatello. Let’s just say I was much more impressed with the Best Western continental breakfast than the sub-​par meal we were served here. The gravy was luke-​warm and bland, the biscuits were stale and didn’t seem like they were freshly baked. The French toast was ok, and did not live up to the hype of the menu or the waitress’s recommendation.

Big portions! The eggs, bacon and hash browns were simple and delicious! The biscuits and gravy I did not care for but the other stuff was still good and I left super full so it was all good in my book

The food was bland very poorly made. Ridiculously unprofessional! The waitress and the cook were fighting to the point where it was so uncomfortable that I just l wanted to leave. As we were paying there was some thing they had charged extra. When I pointed it out to the lady checking us out she slammed the check and said I’m not doing this yelled at an older lady that was there and told her to do it. I had been wanting to try this place for years and finally got the chance. Never again! I could have let go that the food wasn’t great but the way the acted while the place was full was horrible.

Food is good but service is very hit and miss. Too many times my servers did not refill my coffee and forgot about existence. I would have rated higher but bad service does not make up for good food, especially when there are other restaurants in the area with equally as good breakfast and have much better service. I haven’t been back due to the bad service.

Little whole in the wall café. My experience there was great. Very friendly place. The food was awesome, good portion size at reasonable price. Biscuits and gravy were great, cinnamon roll was incredible. If your passing through I recommend stopping by.

My wife and a couple of my kids and I tried Jerry’s jumbos café for morning breakfast. We ordered various items off the menu and were very impressed with most. My wife ordered the chicken fried steak and was very underwhelmed but my son who ate it the next day after we took it home and said that he absolutely loved it I tried it also and it was okay. But everything else was really good there gravy was also a little underwhelmingbut it was okay the bacon the ham the eggs and the potatoes were cooked perfectly The biscuits and gravy and we’re good big thick great biscuits and I had flapjacks which were also good and The side portion was huge. I definitely recommend this place if your hungry for a good morning breakfast.

So waitstaff are homophobic. Not professional and you did it behind the young dudes back. Really is that how it is. You should really spend your energy fixing your teeth.

So I’m pretty picky about biscuits and gravy because, you know, my mom makes it the best. I rarely order it out but took a chance and ordered it here. Wow. I am so glad I did! Almost as good as moms and I mean 99% as good. Portions were big and the biscuits were delicious.
Service was great — fast and with a smile. Good with the kids too — The staff was genuinely upset that the cook forgot to make the choc chips on the pancakes in the form of a smiley face. We didn’t know the difference — Our daughter didn’t care — she gobbled it up.
Bookmarked for our next trip through the area!

This used to be our favorite place, but our last four visits have been disappointing. Today the coffee tasted like water, the biscuit was dry and hard, waitresses were bickering, service is cold. Last time we waited 45 minutes for our order, and then it was completely wrong. We’ve noticed it’s not as busy as it used to be on weekends, so maybe others have noticed the changes too. On the other hand, portion sizes are big so come hungry, and prices are decent. The Cowboy Benedict is fabulous when it’s warm and fresh.

I’ve ordered chicken fried steak here on two separate occasions, but I still haven’t tasted it! The first time they were out. Three weeks later, I tried again. It was very loud and busy, and I guess the waitress didn’t hear the «chicken fried» part – I was served a sirloin steak, which I hate at breakfast. I also hate throwing away good food, so I didn’t tell her about the mistake. To be fair, the sirloin steak was excellent – tender and cooked perfectly to order (I asked for medium).
Food quality, portion, and preparation is diner standard. Their hash browns could be more browned and crispier. Eggs fried correctly. Good bacon and pancakes. Coffee is fair (by diner standards).
Atmosphere is terrible. If it’s busy, then it’s obscenely loud. Staff will yell across the room at entering customers, telling them where to sit. China are basically thrown around, clanging loudly. I would avoid this place on weekends. It is a stressful environment.
The family who seems to own/​operate are friendly, and you can tell that they try hard. But sometimes they’re a bit overwhelmed. And some of their waitresses have a resting mean face and are not very friendly.
I bussed tables and washed dishes at a small diner in Wyoming when I was a young chap, so I know how it goes, and I appreciate their effort. But it’s not for me. Just too loud, stressful, and depressing. I wanted to love it. Oh well.

If you are looking for an affordable home cooked breakfast with extremely friendly service you can stop your search at Jumbos.
Portion sizes are huge and everything is truly home cooked. The breakfast burrito was solid and loaded with sausage, fresh cut peppers and onions to boot.
Not once had I ever considered putting sausage gravy on Hash and will probably never be the sale again. Smashing!

If it’s a great old-​fashioned country breakfast you’re after, JJC delivers! The scones are delisious. The biscuits, sausage gravy, bacon and hash browns will make you feel like you’re at your grandmother’s kitchen table. The service is good, too. What they lack in atmosphere, they more than make for with quality breakfast fare. Well worth the 5 – 10 drive off the freeway. Trust me!

Went at 11am and the place was almost empty, so no problem with parking spots & finding a table. great customer service, food portions large & quality wasn’t spared. The food was prepared, seasoned & cooked just right.

After going to several other diners I’ve finally found the best breakfast in Pocatello, by far!
Portions are extremely large, the food is fresh and delicious. I ordered the meat omelet. It came with lots of high quality meat inside. The country potatoes were delicious and they added their amazing sausage gravy on top. They have homemade bread and strawberry jam that’s ridiculously good.
The service is usually pretty good. As long as they get the food to me in a timely manner and refill my drinks I’m happy and that’s exactly what they do.
