We arrived today for lunch at 11 : 35, we were served at 12 : 40. To explain the very sloooow service, they said our waitress just "forget" about us. We had our table by the stove, in full view. We came here once a year for the past 12 years - we are seniors, and I have "quite an... More

Just okay, food very common and pedestrian. My granddaughter loves the open room with all the light and fascinated with seeing cars, bugs and people during lunch. The waitress was unpleasant and not friendly toward my girl (age 4) at all. Not my first choice for lunch with granddaughter in the future.

Nothing to write home to mom about...she's most likely cooking in their kitchen! Home style food and for a great price. The servers are friendly and the warm atmosphere puts you right at ease, great for any night you just don't feel like cooking but still want the comforts of home.

I cant believe that any establishment would serve anything like this to people going out for a meal, whether its a diner or fine restuarant. The burger and fries were edible, but the other 2 dishes were unacceptable...Hot roast beef sandwhich? The meat was sour and the mash potatoes ice cold...Fried chicken was old and dry and again mashed potatoes... More

Our first choice, Blue Benn Diner, was full so we opted for Jensen's, which is nearby. We were seated quickly and had a large menu to select from. The property is a bit old and on the tired side but the staff were pleasant. We had burgers and fries, which were good, although it took a bit longer than we'd... More

Though I don't think they consider it a retro diner, it seems a bit dated. The wait staff was courteous, and the portion size was average. Nothing bad, but nothing spectacular.

We were desperately hungry and there was a forty minute wait at Blue Benn so pulled into Jensens. It was 11:02 and instead of a smile we received a deadpan comment from the waitress that we were too late for breakfast and would have to wait for lunch because the kitchen had to switch over. We looked around and saw... More
