    On 9/15/2021, it was an impromptu stop for lunch, but I ordered from the dinner menu. Their dinners include an entree, soup, salad and dessert. It was enough food for me to get two meals from and I took almost half home. This restaurant has a wide selection of options. Therefore, I definitely put Jedi's in the family dining category, as it has a budget and food choices for everyone. Currently the restaurant does a great job of social distancing and all of the staff wore mask. Our waitress, Terry, was friendly and attentive. I enjoyed my Cream of Lemon Rice Soup, Caesar Salad and Lemon Chicken Scallopini. I gave my dessert of Oreo Cake to my son.

    Very friendly staff, our waitress made sure she checked on us throughout our meal. The food was absolutely delicious. Both my husband and our oldest son had the Mediterranean salad, generous portion which they both loved! Our daughter had the protein burger but ended up taking half home, she had a cup of soup and some rolls before she got her burger. I had the lemon sole, which was cooked perfectly with a delicious lemon sauce. We will absolutely be back!!

    Not bad. It's Easter Sunday, and Hooters across the street was closed. I didn't mind it, but the corned beef on Rye just didn't really cut it. It was super plain on marble rye, but a little bit of horseradish would have helped. Way too plain for my taste so only 1/2 was consumed. I will come by again but will not order my favorite sandwich as I don't think it will change in taste. Don't get me wrong, it has the makings of a great sandwich, but a plain corned beef will never cut it for me.

    I was there Saturday 6/25/22. They were short staffed, but the waitress that showed up to work, was A1.. She commandeered the floor excuted a hell of a job!! There was a wait time but it was so worth it... And my breakfast was tasty 😋. I'm sorry I don't remember her name an mature woman, I was told she's been working there for awhile. It was my first time visiting their. They come highly recommended by sister! And she was right, I did enjoy.

    This was my friend and I’d first visit to Jedi’s Garden and we will most certainly be back. Terry was a fantastic server/waitress! 👏🏽 Everyone was so friendly from the moment we walked in. The food portions were huge and everything was delicious 😋 The restaurant itself is clean, spacious, and appealing to the eyes 👀 Thank you Jedi’s Garden for a delicious meal and excellent service!

    I went there 11.25.23 and our server was an older woman with dark hair and she was absolutely terrible. Didn't even greet us, wouldn't come around the table, had to call her over to get her attention. Then when I thought things couldn't be worse, the table in front of us shares they had a COCKROACH IN THEIR COFFEE. Absolutely disgusting. I would never be back.

    We were pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. Their desert choices will have you wanting to try it all. Our server was extremely attentive. We will definitely go back when we're in the area and hungry.

  • 3/5 Donald J. 5 months ago on Google
    It felt real dated in both atmosphere and menu... Coffee was EXTRA strong, if that's what you like... Heads up! No flavored cream and No Splenda! They DO have equal, but you have to ask for it(that's seems weird to me, buttttt...) They do have drinks, but we didn't get any!

  • 4/5 Marty R. 11 months ago on Google
    Really solid food. We just had sandwiches and fries and dessert but it was great. Clean, bright, friendly and fast. Will definitely go back next time I’m in town. Dessert case will have you drooling. Diablo cake is wonderful. chocolate and white cake with strawberries and whipped cream. Double chocolate tastes great, it was a bit too heavy for me. It’s almost like eating fudge. Loved the waitress, like eating at your neighbors house. Her name was Christine.

    This is one of my favorite restaurants to go to that is not far from home. The food is very good and it has a family friendly environment.

  • 5/5 Lanny E. 1 year ago on Google
    The place doesn’t disappoint. Serves a good amount of food and the food is not bland. Definitely recommend.

  • 5/5 Timothy D. 2 years ago on Google
    Covid has been difficult for places like this. We have been going there for some time. Today we were the first ones to arrive. 7 in total. We were seated promptly and the waitress was ready to serve us. Orders came out correctly and everyone had good things to say about their meals. Dependable, courteous and attentive. It was quite busy by the time we left. Gaming room available and kids will enjoy the fish tanks.

    Pot roast special n Philly cheese steak sandwich were excellent and Debbie our waitress!

  • 3/5 Nikki m. 5 months ago on Google
    We get seated and it takes the waitress forever to come over. She acknowledges us and says she'll be right there and we can see her having a whole 10 min. Conversation with another worker, then some men she knows get seated behind us and she rushes right over and starts their order and then ours. We didn't say anything we let it slide even though she says to them gotta get their order( referring to us) they were here first. She takes ours and pits them in and there's comes up first, they eat say there goodbyes to her and leave. (Forgot to mention she did the side cheek kiss when she saw one of them ) when they got there. She brings us our food and didn't check on us once. I stopped her to ask for lemons on the side and she brought that. She didn't bring extra napkins to the table or ask my husband if he wanted more coffee. My cinnamon swirl French toast and sausage was fine but his pork chops were dry and had no taste. He forced the first one down but couldn't do the second one. I asked him if he wanted me to te them and get him something else and he said " no that's ok.". We won't be going back.

    Our waitress was wonderful and sweet. The manager was a #@%*. Not sure what transgression he believed this waitress had performed. However, he dressed her down from the register when she was walking across the restaurant with a raised voice. This is not only EXTREMELY poor management, it looks bad, it makes customers unhappy and uncomfortable. It is also rude and mean. It has made me reconsider going there again, my husband and I have been going there over 25 years.

  • 5/5 Dean W. 10 months ago on Google
    I decided on a restaurant instead of fast food. We r t Jedi's and saw they had BLT Club sandwich. Hadn't had 1 in over 40 years, so what the heck. Why not. It was great, came with perfect crisp fries. Also ordered a chocolate shake. It was made old fashioned way with ice cream. Brought back my younger days memories. Will definitely go again when I am back down that way.

  • 4/5 Debbie O. 8 months ago on Google
    This was the 1st time I tried carry outs. I ordered the Corned Beef with Swiss melt on marble rye & paid extra for the homemade crispy potato chips. Both the sandwich & the chips were soggy from being put in the styrofoam container together when they were steaming hot. The chips should’ve been cooled and bagged separately to avoid them turning soggy like potatoes!

  • 5/5 DarkMagic W. 1 year ago on Google
    My family and I came here for my birthday celebration and it exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere was incredible. Ms. Carrey (our waitress) was soo sweet. They have soo many choices of food I ordered the grilled cheese cheeseburger with bacon. It was bigger than my entire head! Will be back to try their breakfast.

  • 3/5 Raquel C. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing how the servers argue with each other and the owner has such an attitude. The food use to be better and served sooner. The bathrooms need to more clean and have nicer soap besides the big gallon with a pump like an autopsy shop. They use to do free refills now you are only allowed 2 free refills.

  • 3/5 Crystal M C. 7 months ago on Google
    The service and atmosphere feels like family. I like their split pea soup, unfortunately they serve it every other Wednesday. I enjoy the Mediterranean salad too. Unfortunately most of their food taste processed. The gravy, rolls, etc... aren't freshly made. But it's a nice place to relax and eat. My sister enjoyed the salmon salad. I enjoy their breakfast food.

  • 2/5 David R. 4 months ago on Google
    First time here since 2018, and it's slipped way down in food quality (dry meat, under-flavored tough other items) and in service (slow and occasional). Used to love this place, but it feels neglected now. Wanted to still like, hopefully they can fix, but not sure I'll go back.

  • 5/5 Juanita W. 1 year ago on Google
    They were absolutely great. We called last minute Superbowl Sunday. Made accommodations for our party of 15 for my granddaughters Birthday after another place had refused us service. Our servers were great and so was management. Will have more events here.

  • 1/5 Gena V. 1 year ago on Google
    I understand the restaurant is short staffed, but losing the entire ticket of me and my family's meal is unacceptable. I can tell this place won't be here for longer than 1 more year AT MOST. If you wanna sit around for 2 WHOLE HOURS and not get fed anything but lousy bread and soup, then this is the restaurant for you! So sad to see such a good restaurant go under like this. My grandfather's birthday was absolutely ruined because of this experience and we will NOT be back.

  • 5/5 Marc J. 1 year ago on Google
    Great and quick service! Very nice and pleasant to customers. Good food!!

  • 5/5 Susan B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food. Excellent cocktails. Kitchen is open pretty late relatively speaking. Very very nice staff, kind and helpful. Extensive menu. Breakfast all day! A family favorite.

  • 5/5 Lelou B. 1 year ago on Google
    This restaurant has been here probably longer than I've been alive. They're a great place if you want soup, salad, dinner, and dessert. I usually get the soup, salad, and pasta dinner. The soup is always fantastic. I've tried three soups so far and I couldn't pick a favorite because they're all equally good. My very picky eating children will both eat the pasta and meatballs from here which really says alot.

  • 5/5 Reem O. 1 year ago on Google
    FIVE STARS!!! Excellent customer service, great portions, and tasty food! We had trouble with a delivery order using a third party, and even though the restaurant wasn't made aware of a delivery order, they honored the order and had everything made fresh and hot and delicious!! Beware: the grilled cheese burger is MASSIVE! Tasty but absolutely massive.

  • 5/5 Laura Vande W. 2 years ago on Google
    The quantity and quality of food is always great. They are a frequent "go-to" place for my husband and I. Hard to turn down a wonderful dessert from the large variety in the case! Staff there are always efficient, pleasant, and helpful.

  • 5/5 Vicky B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great service and food! Took our family there with 5 little ones and as hectic as it was, the waitress made sure we had all we needed and made us feel welcome. The kids liked their food as well. Going back for sure!

  • 4/5 Camille R. 2 years ago on Google
    I had a turkey sandwich on a croissant with creamed lemon rice soup. Both were very good. Staff is now unmasked, and many customers still wore masks. Diners are spaced out. There are plastic shields on the back of each booth. Clean atmosphere.

  • 4/5 Dominique O. 2 years ago on Google
    Fresh hand formed ground beef patty with Greek seasoning stuffed with gyro meat and red onion. Topped with crumbled feta cheese and diced tomatoes. Served with homemade Greek cucumber yogurt sauce.

  • 5/5 gina m. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice waitress..good food...try the Greek chicken delicious...today we tried Greek pork chops. Very good

  • 4/5 mcjon77 2 years ago on Google
    The Rubens are great, the appetizers are pretty good, and their creamed soups are really great. My favorite is the cream of cauliflower on Mondays. Also, they have a pretty nice selection of cake and pie for dessert. I've only tried the carrot cake, but I liked it a lot.

  • 2/5 Jose R. 2 years ago on Google
    The food is not all that great. Ordered the chicken parmesean and it was not that good. The sauce tasted like chillie. Not wprth the price.

  • 2/5 rayman610 S. 2 years ago on Google
    Food has taken a downward slide. I've been coming to this place for years. Lunch at least twice a month. Recently the food has been sub-par. Not very hot and salty with most dishes. The soups are good, especially the lemon chicken. The lamb chops are good but small. Ordered Pork chops Vesuvio and found it almost inedible. 3 dried up pork chops in some kind of weird sauce. I think they might need a change in cooks.

  • 5/5 Mitch G. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent food. And its priced very reasonably. I have been a fan of it since a child with my parents. Now at 60 and the son has taken the business over still the same great place I remember. The server was very nice and was very attentive to our needs. The place was extremely clean.

  • 5/5 D R. 2 years ago on Google
    Food is always great. Large portions, reasonable prices for quality food! Soups are absolutely phenomenal. I had chicken scallopini. The pictures show how much is left, after I took a serving out, to give an idea of the portion size.
