Jack's Donuts — Restaurant in Lindenwold

Don't hesitate to try Jack's Donuts. I decided to have breakfast out by myself on my day off and stopped in to Jack's Donuts. Let's call that the best decision of the day! Jack's has new owners, and they are wonderful!

My Experience: I was warmly greeted by Lana, one of the new owners. I took a seat at the counter and my order was quickly taken. Lana checked in with me several times and made conversation with me. She was very pleasant and made me feel comfortable eating alone.

The Food: Lana brought me a piping hot cup of the best coffee Ihave had in some time. I asked for the bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel. It was perfection! The bagel was perfectly toasted, and the bacon, egg, and cheese were tender and flavorful. It was a big sandwich, and I brought home half for tomorrow. Best of all, it was reasonably priced.

I also tried their fluffy and delicious donuts. If you like a yeast donut, you'll love their donuts. After some conversation, I mentioned that my husband was working from home. Lana tossed another donut in the bag as a treat from her!

Cleanliness: This restaurant was noticiably and impeccably clean. Even the bathroom floors were spotless. I always notice these things because it gives you a good idea of the cleanliness of the kitchen. This dinette is clearly well maintained.

Overall: I am just glad places like Jack's Donuts are available. It is part of what makes a small town special. You just don't get the same experience from a large restaurant chain. The food was great and the people were friendly. If you find yourself hungry and in need a of a tasty breakfast or lunch, don't hesitate to try Jack's Donuts. Little family restaurants deserve our support.

Jack's Donuts is the little dinette that could! ...

Upon walking in, we were greeted by two friendly faces who took to serving us well. Unfortunately, once we placed our order, everything went south. After 10 minutes of waiting for our food, I was given my toast. Thinking I would soon be getting my eggs, I prepared and ate my 1st slice. We then waited nearly 20 more minutes before our food came out of the kitchen. We were the only couple there besides one who had already finished eating. While waiting, several people came in for sandwiches to go and were served quickly ahead of us.

When we were finally served our food, I got excited for about 3 seconds. I saw peppers and onions in my potatoes and thought to myself, "This will be worth the wait." NOPE! Aside from the peppers, there was no flavor. They weren't seasoned at all. And to my bitter disgust, everything was cold except a small part of the potatoes in the center, and my eggs were lukewarm. My single sad slice of scrapple was cooked on one side and the soggy side flopped over my potatoes. My poor wife got cold, dense pancakes with ice cold syrup out of the fridge to cover them and the same potatoes that I had.

If it weren't for the fact that we were there to use a Clipp certificate, we would have just left. But I was too hungry to wait another 30 minutes for a repeat. So we bit the bullet, ate what we got, and left that place in our rear view mirror.

I couldn't even get donuts to try because all they had left were 3 gross options at 11:30 in...

Jack’sDonuts

We started going to Jack’s Donuts after tiring of our existing choices that rotated amongst area diners back around Winter-Spring 2000 just as the pandemic was getting started. We’d seen the sign so many times while heading home via the White Horse Pike from Atlantic City, Hammonton, or other locations towards the shore. We liked the food, the people and the cozy small shop atmosphere. It became the place we headed to most often and for the past few years, weekly. We’ve met and befriended many skilled craftsman and contractors who we’ve employed for large and small jobs on the house. I first heard about breakfast sandwiches under the name “fried egg sandwich” from the book “Duct Tapes 80” which I read in the early 80s. The idea did not appeal to me. Over the decades since, I started getting breakfast sandwiches from cafeterias at work, NYC corner kiosks, and diners. Getting older meant that I’ve dropped the sausage and bacon toppings (most of the time) and settled on egg and cheese with black pepper on wheat toast, as pictured. The donuts here are superior the offerings from major chains which are taking over everywhere. The donuts are made fresh every morning, not in factory. The food is great and we love the that instead of being sequestered in a booth, we see, hear, and meet with the customers. Try it, you might...
