Jam Cafe

EXCEPTIONAL!!! On the last day of a short visit to Vancouver, Jam Cafe was selected as the “farewell” (the “icing”) to this culinary adventure. Jam Cafe (Beatty Street; there are other locations) did NOT disappoint. In fact, it EXCEEDED -very- expectation. Yes, there was a wait; perhaps 15-20 minutes, longer for larger parties; reservations are not accepted. The line moved, time passed. Once inside, the reason for waiting became clear: There are perhaps 20 tables in all; seating is limited. Yes, it IS worth the wait. The breakfast offerings were EVERY bit as delicious and inviting as can be imagined. Other diners enjoyed heaping portions of waffles, chicken, and almost every other menu selection. Service was polite, prompt, and efficient, and once ordered, breakfast arrive quickly. There was no “rush” to the experience, which was another plus. Brave the lines, arrive hungry, and feast!!!

My friends and I came to this restaurant and we all got different meals and loved it. The French toast with chicken is to die for! Perfectly balanced. I recommend getting the hash browns extra crispy. The salmon and farmers Benedict were the best that my friends said they ever had! Even if there’s a long line, it still goes pretty quickly. Very enjoyable breakfast. Fills you up for the day! Edit: we literally returned the next morning to enjoy the breakfast again! Two of the four got different meals and loved them and my friend loved hers so much she got it again. Delicious. Photos can’t even do it justice! We also tried the mimosas today - we love the variety in choice. As we we’re waiting in line, we literally heard a family say how much it was worth the wait! I must, if you were in the city of Vancouver!

A must-try, despite the wait! The Jam Cafe line was definitely long, but the food was worth the anticipation. Everything we ordered was great—a true comfort food feast. The only stumble was with a side order: I asked for two medium poached eggs and they came out hard-poached instead. A minor flaw, but the overall meal was excellent and well worth a visit when you are in Vancouver.

Jam Cafe, as many have mentioned, have long line ups on the weekend due to their good food and good portions. We lined up around 40 minutes on Saturday. The interior is long but not very big, but there is also outdoor seating during the summer. We ordered various dishes including eggs Benedict, chicken and waffles, and blueberry and lemon curd pancakes between the three of us. Portions were big and none of us finished our food. Presentation was also well done. My favourite part was the buttery hash brown that came with the eggs benedict. Come right as it opens and try to get a seat, otherwise, you’ll likely have to wait.

Fried chicken benny was off the hook. The lemon blueberry pancake was delicious as well. Such crazy big portions. Could’ve easily fed a whole table of 4. The hashbrowns were different than what I’m used to but super delightful, almost like a mash potato on the inside and crispy on the outside. The sauce on the fried chicken benny was awesome too.

This was highly recommend on social media for breakfast and it was for good reason! Although we had to wait outside for a good 25 min, nice we got a table, it was smooth sailing from there. The place itself is pretty small, but it's cozy. Our breakfast was delicious, those banana nut pancakes were to die for. Highly recommend, it's worth the wait.

Probably the top 5 breakfast of my entire life. No joke.. We waited about 30 minutes to get in but TOTALLY worth it. My group ordered different dishes and none disappointed. The Tater Bowl, the Blue Buffalo Benedict, Strawberry Banana waffles and I had the daily special Westside Butter Chicken Skillet. Incredible experience, thinking about eating here again before leaving town 😁

It is am amazing place for brunch. The food is not only tasty but for the price the portion size are huge. Rarely I see such good portion sizes. They have good selection of brunch items and I will surely on my next visit try other items as all seem to be great. We tried the French Toast and the Egg Benedict. The service was amazing and very friendly. We luckily had 20 min waiting time as it was weekday and rainy day. The ambience is cozy and different but very likeable. One should surely visit it and I will do it again when back in Vancouver.

Awesome . The best breakfast in town by far. Great service too! A must stop if you're visiting Vancouver!

Very cute and quaint cafe near BC Place. We decided to stop by for a late lunch/brunch around 1pm and there was still a line waiting outside. Definitely not the best place to go with a large group. Tables of 2 were able to be seated quicker than 4+. Inside was holiday decorated for the season and they were playing Taylor Swift music since she was in town that weekend. The host, servers, and food runners were all very friendly. We ordered a holiday drink that I really enjoyed. It had Kahlua, orange liqueur and hot chocolate. Might be my new holiday drink. For food, we shared the Cold Smoked Salmon and Avocado Benny and the Banofee French Toast. Both were very good! The Banofee French Toast was a huge portion. Was glad to be sharing it. A+ visit. Would definitely recommend.

Got the salmon Benny with a side salad. Was super yummy. The seats however were quite uncomfortable and the tables so close together. Food I'd give a 4 star and atmosphere 2-3

Finally made it to this Jam Cafe location and so glad we did. I remember how popular the Jam Cafe in Victoria was, so planned to be in line prior to the 8 am opening. And that was the right call as got there at 7:50 and we were 20th in line but in for the first seating. Opted for the Blackstone Benny with coffee. The taste and presentation were spot on and the coffee was good and refilled by the staff. The service was great and we left very full and satisfied. It was a very positive breakfast experience and happy to recommend Jam Cafe on Beatty. PS. There were about 25 people in line in the rain waiting to get in.

We did a day trip to Vancouver and heard good things about this place so decided to stop by for brunch. Be prepared to wait in line because it gets busy during peak hours! It was rainy too which sucked, but luckily we only had to wait about 20 minutes. Inside was very cozy with ~10 tables and a tiny bar area. I also loved the cute rustic decorations all over the walls. Our waitress was friendly and efficient, she got our orders in right away after being seated and checked on us regularly. We had the apple cinnamon french toast, full pork belly eggs benny, half smoked salmon & avocado eggs benny, and the pork adobo garlic rice (special of the day). Everything was delicious and very filling! The pork belly eggs benny was my favorite; the pork wasn't dry at all and the skin was extra crispy. I would definitely recommend to place to others, just be prepared to wait in line!

Definitely worth the wait! Came here on a weekend and the line was pretty long, however the wait didn't feel too bad. I would recommend getting here early to avoid a long line. The interior is nicely decorated and feels very welcoming! There are a lot of tables for the limited space but it doesn't feel too crowded. Service was amazing despite the large amount of people. The food came out quickly and looked great. I ordered the fried chicken and it was amazing!! Everything tasted great and I'd definitely come again!

Really delicious food - I ordered the chicken and waffles, which was tasty! My partner had the chicken French toast, which was heavenly! Overall, great place to munch at!

waited in line for about 30 mins in the rain and so did 8+ ppl in front of us and it was 10/10 worth the wait. food was soo yummy! one of the best brunches ive ever had. loved the fried chicken eggs benny:) and it was very cozy and staff was nice!

Wish I could give it a 2.5 because the food really is that good and worth the wait. The line is always long at least 40 mins if you have a big group or more than 2 guest. I got the later tater hash with chicken one time and pork another. The pork in my opinion is def more flavorful than the chicken but both good and filling. If you are into Paloma's they make a great Paloma. I also tried the lavender lemonade mimosa but it was just okay personally. Now let me get to why they went from 5 star to a 2 service. The second time I came to visit before heading back, I was alone. At first I discretely told the server just so you know there is a mouse that's going between tables and under feet to not ruin business. She says okay we will take care of it and I'll get my manager while thanking me. Then the manager comes over and says basically with the doors open constantly, thats just how it is. I tried to ignore it but how can you dine when this is your view and everyone is okay with it? They tried to assure me they're constantly up to date with extermination but I had to pack up and go since no one cared. Quite disappointing in my opinion. Here's video for context.

I have never been let down by Jam cafe, and standing in line for half an hour in the rain was still worth it. Exceptional service, and exceptional food. Almost everything on the breakfast menu is superb, so choose what interests you the most you won't be disappointed, and you will make the time to come back a second time.

Came early to beat the line and I wasn't early enough! Haha. Don't let it scare you though because they gave us a 1 hr wait but we ended up getting seated within 20. I do prefer that they set farther expectations so you can get the surprise of getting to eat sooner. Jam Cafe is a homey looking space with the decor lining the restaurant and you can smell the delicious eats as you walk in the door. They're actually super quick to get your order and then to your table. I warn you that the portions are large though so you can definitely share your main entrees. I was tempted to get the Charlie Bowl based on all of the reviews but ended up getting the half fried chicken benny and the mushroom omelette. Jam is your standard breakfast fare but done right. Next time I will be sure to check the sweeter side of the menu as there were unique pancake flavors that I am curious to try.

Officially my first meal in Canada as I was visiting from the U.S! Honestly the gravy kinda threw me off a little but the waffle and maple syrup definitely made up for it! The coffee and hash brown was on point I can't really complain! The service was super nice as I got that Canadian hospitality and the restaurant itself is pretty small so everybody is cramped in. Overall I'd definitely be back!

Line is 20 min wait out the door in the rain, but they have umbrellas to borrow! Chicken toast + salmon benny are both delicious. 2 orders for 3 people and still stuffed. Chicken toast had Juicy crispy chicken and savory sweet relish for the toast. Asked for butter and syrup on the side. The Benny's eggs were just right with lots of sauce and crispy hash brown that we devoured without ketchup.

Don't let the line scare you away, the wait was totally worth it! I'm a big fan of pork belly so when I tried this I was so pleasantly surprised that this Pork Belly Eggs Benedict was sooo good! Delicious pork belly, great egg, good crisp hashbrowns, and you can use the english muffin to soak up the rest of the eggs benedict! Very nice staff, the tables outside were fun to sit at on a cool morning. Also got the hot chocolate, very tasty, very cozy.

After a long flight over, we needed something hearty to start our day. This might have been too hearty as we wanted to take a nap after but the food was amazing!! I got this fried chicken Benedict and the hollandaise sauce was very interesting! Interestingly good! And the chicken was so nice and crispy and packed with so much flavor!! It was a very lively restaurant and the service was awesome! The only downside was waiting in the cold for an hour because they were so popular!!

Food and services are really great. The only negative is that they have a line of people waiting to get in. We waited in line about 30 minutes. It was raining so it would be nice if the line was covered. Overall I'm very happy that we decided to eat here.

Be prepared to wait during peak breakfast/lunch hours. Their service staff was nice and efficient, kept us updated on the table situation and approximate waiting time left. Most tables adjacent to each other so be prepared to listen to gossip and gibberish. Went with half off the pork belly Benny. Pork belly was thick and deep fried, perfect ratio of meat to fat with extra crispiness. Hash browns cooked well with a outer crispy crust and moist potato center Later tater bowl- big bowl of tater tots topped with corn, salsa, cheese, 2 eggs, green onions, buffalo sauce. Very filling and flavorful. Chicken French toast- thick cut brioche bread with buttermilk fried chicken. The hot honey sauce gave the entire dish a unique flavor profile of sweet & spicy. Unfortunately it covered the entire dish so if you added maple syrup to the French toast, it mixed with the hot honey sauce, combine all this with the pickled cabbage, jalapeno sour cream, maple bourbon BBQ glaze, cilantro and green onions and you have a circus full of flavors that may not sit well with your palette. Personally it was way too much flavor for someone who just wanted a nice fried chicken and French toast breakfast. So read the menu ingredients and order appropriately to avoid any flavor surprises, lesson learned

Be prepared for long lines on the weekends but believe me when I say this is worth the wait, I do so knowing how valuable time is. The depth and breadth of this menu is crazy good. For someone who doesn't eat eggs I was pleased with the options. For me The Gravy Coops was the winner. Biscuits and gravy topped with fried pork belly and accompanied by hashbrowns. Usually comes with two eggs but they went heavy on the pork belly instead. Winner! Flavorful with chunks of sausage, the gravy was scrumptious. And that pork belly...crisp, rendered well and unctuous. A plate with pulled pork pancakes landed on the table and was decimated in minutes, who knew this combo would satisfy! We also ventured to try the chicken French toast, a visually spectacular dish whose flavor lived up to its visual. It's a lovely, comfortable place to eat and visit.

I grew up in the greater Vancouver area but never actually tried the coveted jam cafe until now (some 10 years later). And it still lives up to the hype; probably the best eggs Benedict I've ever had.

So good! My husband and I came here the morning of our first visit to Vancouver. Everything came out looking amazing and tasted so fresh! The eggs in our benedicts were perfectly cooked and everything had so much flavor. I also ordered an oat milk vanilla latte which was amazing. Our server was so friendly and answered all of our questions. The restaurant itself is pretty cozy; we got there around 8:30-9:00 on a weekday and there wasn't much of a wait, but shortly after we got there the line was extremely long. Be ready to wait a little while, but it's completely worth it!

Went 15 minutes before they opened on a weekend morning and ofc their was already a long lineup! We were very lucky to get seats as we were one of the last group going in. I know their chicken and waffle and blueberry pancake's super yummy, but I was also eyeing the french toasts. Glad I got the banoffee French toast- as it was super filling and was really tasty. Expect to spend $25+ per person

This place always has a huge line but I can see why. The food is delicious. The staff is friendly and on top of everything while allowing you to not feel rushed through your meal. The line outside moves way faster than I expected also. The food and drinks were delicious. We liked it so much we came back two times on our trip. Definitely try it out.

Was originally heading over to the dirty apron and passed by and saw the place was full and looked great when we got to dirty apron it was empty so I said let's try Jam cafe luckily there was no line when we went back but the line built up pretty quickly so got lucky. I had the fried chicken Benny and can tell you it was amazing 10/10 I am very picky about fried chicken and this was on spot perfect! Juicy crispy season perfectly and went well with the benny! To the point I forgot to take a photo until half way done! Haha the area is nicely decorated but just know the place is a tight place so you will have strangers right next to you without a lot of personal space. I have recommended this place to all my friends that visit to make sure to check out and it has not disappointed anyone! Can't wait to go back

Review#700. Might as well make it a great one. I had some time to burn, up early as I wished my husband well on the marathon. I cheered on a bunch of runners along the way to this cozy little restaurant. I debated getting my meal to go, but pancakes really do need to be eaten immediately. This little cafe was set up well for the few solo customers like me. I skipped the small line and was seated at the bar at the back. I ordered a delicious decaf Americano and the blueberry pancakes. My water glass was constantly filled and I read the paper on my phone during the cooking time. The pancakes rate in my top three pancakes of all time. I refuse to pick a winner in the top three as they were all outstanding for different reasons. The pancakes were bouncy, fresh blueberries were plentiful and the little drizzle of lemon curd made the dish. I appreciated having the option to get two instead of three as that was a filling portion. Around me everyone looked happy, including the group of seven crammed into a booth for four. The dish with tater tots seemed especially popular as did the cinnamon bun pancakes.

I was up for pancakes one day so I searched online "best pancakes near Homer Street", and Jam cafe on Beatty shows up on the top of the list. I know there is always a long lineup. I went there on a weekday at 1-ish, it was still busy but I didn't have to wait for a table. I wanted pancakes but wasn't really up for something sweet at that moment so I ordered the pulled pork pancake. If I remember currently, there aren't a lot of options for savory pancakes. Anyways, there's only one pancake but it's like the size of the plate! The pancake is so good , so light and fluffy. Even though there are other toppings (pulled pork of course, pickled cabbage, sauce ) sitting on top of the pancake, it doesn't make the pancake soggy. The pork is very soft , a lot of meat (instead of fat). I would definitely try the sweet ones next time :)

1 of 2 places we went back for a second time during only a week stay in Vancouver. That's how good it was. Normally I'm okay about brunch - it's good, but there's other types of food that I'd rather spend my money on. I wasn't expecting much more than a good, decent brunch place, but this place I would even highly recommend people visiting the area to check out. There is a reason (besides the fact that the restaurant is on the smaller side) that there's always a line to get in. We ordered the Charlie bowl, Cinnamon Bun pancakes, Blueberry Hill pancakes, and a side of pork belly. One of us also got the butterbeer which did not taste alcoholic (in a good way) and was very good. The pork belly was good but honestly I would probably skip it to eat something else more unique/special to the place. The pancakes are massive and fluffy - we preferred the Cinnamon Bun pancakes over the Blueberry Hill pancakes but they were both good and you would not be wrong to order one over the other. The Charlie bowl though was by far the favorite dish for the 3 of us that went. It was savory, rich, filling yet not too heavy and somehow uniquely delicious for a brunch place. This was the dish that made us come back twice during our limited stay, and I'll be looking forward to the next time I can eat this dish.

I was on vacation with my partner. I ordered the bowl with eggs (on the side) of hash, biscuit, veggies and mushroom gravy. It was DELICIOUS!!! I would've gone back again if I could have. The portion sizes are huge we almost regretted getting the lemon blueberry pancake, so it's best to have one thing per person to be honest. We waited about an hour to get in as this place is very popular. Nice and cozy inside and our service was good. Will highly recommend to anyone coming to Vancouver!

Called Jam Cafe on Beatty to place the order for pick up since on Friday there's always line ups at that location to get indoor seats and their patio is really small . After I brought food home , realized that hollandaise sauce for my Benny and some jam for toast been missing . We only got 5 packs of ketchup beside our food and beverages. Looking at the bill I also found out that I been charged a 6% fees for picking up my food and THE LADY ON THE PHONE WHO TOOL MY ORDER , NEVER MENTIONED ABOUT THAT PICKUNG UP TIP IS INCLUDED !!! And I did pay cash while picked up my food and yes I did tip the waiter who handled me my food at the doors ! And ALSO DIDNT TELL ME THAT I ALREDY PAID FOR PICKUNG UP MY ORDER! I feel like I been overcharged plus I had to return to that place to get what kitchen staff forgot to include to my order ! What a shame ! Unless you dine in, I can't recommend this place . Checked Jam Cafe webpage , there's no a word about that surcharge either ! Such bad costumer service ! Boo

We saw a huge line outside for a brunch place, and since our group had some time, we decided to line up for it as well. I got the Charlie bowl because the waitress said it was one of the top sellers, but I was a little disappointed by it. Everything BUT the biscuit was good, the bone dry biscuit drove down the flavour of the dish. It's as if you were eating piles of sand with your egg or bacon, if the biscuit was a bit more moist, o would have given it a 5 star. The pancake was delicious as well, and luckily we were 4 so there was no food waste.

S-I-M-P-L-Y T-H-E B-E-S-T B-R-E-A-K-F-A-S-T Ever.....breakfast like it's nobodies business, and any other places claiming to hold this mantle likely has not dined here. Where do I start? First- I waited on line 45 minutes to get in. That should tell you something. When we go to heaven I suspect while your in line at the pearly gates that you'll be handed a plate of food from JAM. The tater tots were perfectly crisped--conscientiously double fried--with a delicious soft and seasoned center. The blueberry pancakes were great--humongous portion with blueberry sauce and lemon compote that was to die for. The pancakes themselves were moist, fluffy and the perfect amount of sweet. My friend got the fat Elvis waffles and once again was huge and in size and flavor was just as good!!!!! Apple cinnamon French toast was stupendous. Crisp outside and fluffy inside with the perfect amount of cinnamon and a generous dollop of whipped cream. The ambiance was cozy and hall in the wall-ish.

*no update just wanna say i wish i was back eating this yummy brekkie* (: i didnt realize i already wrote a review and therefore got way to hyped about it!

Honey little breakfast place with crazy fun options! The service is quick which is nice- and there's definitely tons of glutinous options despite us going for the healthy boring ones. The alcohol situation is also lots of fun with spiked bevy's! They have a lychee mimosa and tons of spiked coffees! Only minus is you're standing in the rain before you're seated- and it can get quite uncomfortable!

The wait was long but it was sooooo worth it. Everything was absolutely delicious and we can't wait to be back in Vancouver to have it again. Highly recommend the cinnamon bun pancake - it was a sweet surprise that we loved.

We ordered the avocado benny and pork belly benny. The food was packed with flavor! Imma still dreaming about the candied bacon... We also enjoyed their Irish coffee, lavender latte, and orange juice. We were impressed by the service since the place was so busy. Kind and attentive staff. We also liked the music playing in the background. Can't wait to go back someday!

We didn't have to wait long for a table since it was just my husband and I. I ordered chilaquiles, but I felt that they added too much chips and not enough "toppings". These felt more like breakfast nachos than chilaquiles. My husband enjoyed his chicken sandwich. The maple butter syrup that came with the waffles was amazinggggg i wish they sold it by the bottle! The tables inside were too close together with the other parties.

Such a cute little place for breakfast. The staff was friendly and efficient and the food was spectacular. I had the buffalo fried chicken Benny that delicious. I loved that I could get a half order. Others in my party had eggs, hash browns, bacon... everything was great.

Jam Cafe had the longest waiting line, we stood in line for over an hour for our brunch date, on Yelp it had great reviews so I figured it was worth the wait. Once inside it's very warm and cozy, very tight seating and space but it works. The staff is very efficient and friendly and the menu choices for brunch have a wide variety. The chorizo and corn bread were my favorite of the dishes. The waffles and chicken had so much potential but for me had too much sauce and pickled cabbage, gave it an overwhelming taste, I would ask for them to remove or place sauce and cabbage to the side. The pancakes were a bit off with taste and texture too thick a dough needed to be much more light and fluffy. Overall a great experience.

Look, I get that when a place adds some cool new dishes, it gets a lot of buzz. This spot is likely amazing for folks looking for something out of the ordinary and a bit more daring for breakfast. I however, prefer breakfast not be an adventure. The staples of breakfast don't have to be tampered with - it was too edgy and too pricey for my tastes. The folks in my party were impressed - it just wasn't for me.

Came here on a Sunday morning, around 9am and the wait was about 20-25 minutes.. not as bad as I had anticipated! The vibe was amazing, they played allll the R&B so this was already off to a Good start :) Everything we ordered was great! Pancakes, French toasts, the fried chicken Benedict's (wow!), and the tater loaded bowl!!

Jam cafe is totally worth waiting inline for. Also worthy is taking the seats at the bar. It got us in faster and we could watch the drinks get prepared. We loved the half size benny idea. We love the food, but can't eat as much at a sitting as we used to! The sugar-cured bacon is to die for! The fried chicken was okay. I just wished it was a bit crispier. Still it tasted devine. The pancake. The pancake! It's huge. A side one is enough to share. And the maple butter is amazing. Too much good stuff to choose from. We love this place.

I was on vacation and decided to give it a try since I had heard great news about it. We did come on a Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. Although there was a line, it went by pretty quick and the waiters were great and very friendly. The food was delicious. Throughout the trip, we tried different brunch spots and I hoped that we had come to Jam earlier. We were leaving the next morning and I was only able to have tit once. I loved the decorations and the vibe. Would definitely give it a chance if you are able to do so and experience yourself!

(Written by my 13 year old) The service was so good, and the food here actually eats (no crumbs).. there was a line when we got here, but there was minimal waiting. All the fruit is ripe, and the food is the perfect portion for a morning where you need a sweet, or savory breakfast. Would recommend.. it slayed the day!!

Jam Cafe is an exceptional breakfast spot located in the heart of Vancouver. The cozy and rustic atmosphere of the restaurant provides a perfect backdrop for a relaxing and enjoyable breakfast experience. The interior design features reclaimed wood and vintage accents, creating a warm and welcoming ambiance that is perfect for starting your day off right. But the real star of the show at Jam Cafe is the food. The menu is full of classic breakfast dishes with a creative and modern twist. One of their signature dishes is the "Green Eggs and Ham," which features scrambled eggs with basil pesto and thick slices of honey-glazed ham. Another favorite is the "Braised Pork Belly Benedict," which comes with perfectly poached eggs and a tangy hollandaise sauce. As far as I can tell, their dishes are made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and the portions are generous, ensuring that you won't leave hungry. They also offer gluten-free and vegetarian options, making it a great spot for those with dietary restrictions. The service is also outstanding, with friendly and attentive staff who are always happy to help and make recommendations. They are knowledgeable about the menu and the ingredients used, which adds to the overall experience. IMO, it is a must-visit for anyone looking for a top-notch breakfast spot in Vancouver. From the cozy atmosphere to the exceptional food and service, it's a dining experience you won't want to miss.

Absolutely delicious and great service. Everyone loved their meal. Will definitely be back before our trip ends!

The fried chicken Benedict was so yummy! Def the best brunch I have had in a while, there is a wait time but the line moves fast. The lychee mimosa was light and unique! The next time I'm in Vancouver I'll come here!

This JAM is walking distance to me, as the other one in Kits is not. I liked the one in Kits, but the two JAMS render very different experiences...not worse or better...just different....here's how. They both have great food and great service, but they still differ. I'm very sensitive to sound so I'm not a huge fan of over-the-top noisy restaurants, and even though this place was packed there was a grounding and chill vibe the one in Kits doesn't have. But again, this is not a fault...if you're into noisy places you'd probably like the one in Kits better. I found the type of people at this place to be young and hip professionals as opposed to the more family style energy at the other one. The service here was more catered. They took their time more with you. It was clear that they acknowledge the fact that you stood in line for 20 min, but now you have their full attention and service....gold star. The other one in Kits also has good service but you feel the rush. Not as suave. Again not a fault just depends what experience you're looking for. The food at both is great, but again here it's slightly more refined....like it just had that extra round of attention by the chef. Ok....look at it this way..... JAM Beatty is the student with the A+ paper and JAM Kits is the one with the A- paper. Almost no difference, but still you can tell when you start reading. But, I think I'll start walking from now on when I crave JAM instead of going for the drive.

This place really deserves the hype! We arrived at around 8:20 AM on a Sunday (they opened at 8 AM) and we snagged the last available table! No booze drinks until 9 AM, but we dug right in with the apple french toast and the Charlie's Bowl. The Apple French Toast was really thick bread but pillowy soft inside. The apples were sauteed in butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon, but did not turn out overly sweet. The Charlie Bowl was both crumbled biscuit and hash browns, covered with chopped bacon and ham, a corn salsa, green onions, smothered in pork sausage gravy, cheddar cheese, and eggs on top. It was a monster and when I was done, it looked like I had not started. Unless you can really eat, it might be a shareable item. The food was great and service was super efficient. We left and there was a huge line of people waiting. I suspect this is always the case!

This place is the jam!! Large portions, good service, and delicious food! I went on a weekend for brunch and there was a long wait. Unfortunately you can't just put your name down on a list and come back, you have to wait in line. I finally got seated about 1.5 hours later but so worth it because it was amazing!! Pancakes are massive and so fluffy. I tried the cinnamon roll pancakes and it was delicious!! Got the gravy coop as well which came with biscuits, fried chicken, gravy, egg, and hashbrowns which did not disappoint. Overall great brunch place, would definitely come here again!

The food was phenomenal! We had to stand outside and wait, but it was less than 20 minutes before we were sat! We had a table of 6 and the waitress was patient and very helpful! The restaurant was packed and full of life! I would recommend anyone to come here for breakfast or brunch!!
