I loved the atmosphere of this diner, really gives you nostalgic vibes. I came for brunch over the weekend and was seated quickly. Booth was spacious and comfortable, menu was huge (and quirky)
We got the Mexican omelette with pancakes, topped with strawberries and bananas. Omelette was delicious, and they were generous with the amount of fruit for the pancakes.
We also ordered the Cheeseburger Deluxe, asked for medium rare, and it was cooked perfectly.
If you order coffee, you get unlimited refills, which they're quite adamant about offering to do. In my opinion the coffee was a bit weak and watered down, but for the price and the quantity it was expected.
Overall, great value and experience. I definitely will be back with some friends, maybe to tackle the Kitchen Sink. I'd also try the waffles next time, they smelled delicious when they were making them.

This is as old school as it gets here in NYC. Since the late 1800's, Jahns has been serving the community and stepping in here, its amazing to be apart of that history. I sat down imagining the many people from the past decades and century who have come through this establishment. And the ambiance just brings you back in time.
The service here is amazing. The waiters are on their A-Game, tentative, thoughtful, always making sure you're accommodated.
I had the breakfast here and haven't had a chance to try out the ice cream so I'll comment on the breakfast.
The breakfast is your standard, basic diner fare done very well. No complaints from me. Bacon, eggs, pancakes, home fries, omelette, sausage. Stuff you can't go wrong with and they don't get it wrong here. It's basic and I mean that in a very good way. It's exactly what I was seeking and exactly what I got. The manager was super friendly, filled my cup up with extra coffee and went around making sure everything was okay. I wish I got his name.
Verdict: If you're in Queens, looking for some old school classic dining experience, with the ambiance and history of that to boot, look no further. Jahns is certainly worth your visit!
Pros:
-Great ambiance
-Great Service
-Good pricing
-Great history and classic diner ambiance
-Basic diner food done very well
Cons:
-Not really a con but if you're looking for something more out-the-box or extraordinary this won't be the place.
Coffee was not strong. Burger plate was fine, breakfast dishes were good, always get the sundae. Consistently a good experience
You can’t beat a classic. This place has charm and really good diner food. The shake and ice cream selection are of course the standouts. My boy gave this a high burger rating of 5/5. It’s a small space with no parking, so don’t be surprised if there is a wait. Kids menu is diverse.
Nothing short of what you would expect from a classic Diner. Great Reuben, great pancakes, great burger, great shake. Well priced, friendly hospitable servers and quick service.
Nice traditional diner. Waiters here service people nicely. Ordered an omelet with potatoes & breads. Coffee is refillable. Definitely will come again if we are around. Btw, interestingly they write recipes manually, only when you pay with cards then you got a separate one with the total amount to sign.

Clean,and yummy food:)we loved !
Jahn's is one of those places that stay in your memory. I first came here as a young teenager. We used to come for their incredible Sundaes. Some things have changed, such as the mini Jukeboxes in the booths and some things on the Sundaes you now have to pay extra for. However, it still has that feeling of nostalgia. The food is good and so is the service. If you come on your birthday, you get a free Sundae, which is a very nice touch on their part. It is a neighborhood staple in Jackson Heights. It is a place that welcomes friends, families and solo diners, equally. The prices are good and the portions are big. I hope this place stays around for generations to come.
This was not our first time here and definitely won't be our last . As soon as we entered this place , we were greeted by Leslie with her lovely smile. We came here with some family members ( 4 adults and 2 children ).and were seated in a comfortable place .Our server, Joaquin, waa very thoughtful, efficient and helpful.! Our brunch was delicious and plentiful ! I couldn't eat everything. .
Best diner in Jackson Heights. Friendly servers, well prepared dependable breakfast in a cozy atmosphere. What more can you ask for?
