Jessie’s Restaurant and Catering

Love the small setting. Usually eat here every other Sunday with the wife and daughter. My wife and I both really like the chocolate chip pancakes. Omelette is a great choice as well. Next visit I will have to try the waffle and chicken sandwich.
The staff is always very nice and friendly.

Came here for lunch with my wife and 2 sons. We’re on vacation and like trying new things and support local businesses. Figured it would be good, since it was local and had good reviews from their previous location on Unilocal.We couldn’t have been more wrong.
I ordered the reuben w/​mac and cheese, wife had the chicken Greek wrap, sons had hot dog and grilled cheese kids meals. My reuben had something on it that didn’t remotely come close to resembling corn beef and the mac and cheese was lukewarm, at best, and was sitting in an oil slick; didn’t taste that good either. Wife’s wrap was good but she wished it had some feta or tzatziki to break up the solitary tangy flavor of the dressing. Sons food was fine seeing as its really hard to mess up a hotdog and grilled cheese. We also had their onion rings and hummus. Onion rings were obviously from a bag and the hummus tasted like it was bought in as well.
All in all we spent $ 48 on the meal and wished we had gone to McDonald’s instead, because it definitely wasn’t worth the money.

On another note, as we were eating an employee came out and proceeded to use the dining room as a prep area for vegetables. I work in the restaurant business and have never seen this happen in my whole cooking career. It just baffled me…

Driving through Valdosta and stopped in for lunch. Our young kids were with us, so I was happy that their small restaurant space was very informal. It’s made up of a few tables and plenty of counter seating. Their menu consisted of simple selections of soups, salads, wraps and sandwiches — all very reasonably priced. The staff was friendly and accommodating.
We did have a few gripes that were a little disappointing, but nothing that completely ruined our experience. They were out of onion rings and the «sprite» that the children ordered was actually soda water. We were told they were out of syrup for the sprite. My mother selected half a Reuben sandwich, a cup of soup, and a small side salad as her «pick 3» selection, but was then told they couldn’t make half of a sandwich. Okaaay… She opted for a whole Reuben with the side salad as a «pick 2» instead. When it came out, the bread was burnt. She had to send it back. My grilled chicken salad was average at best and would have been a lot better if made with breast meat instead of fatty chunks of dark meat. Our server was very apologetic about my mother’s sandwich and didn’t charge us for an extra bag of chips for the inconvenience.
They probably won’t knock your socks off, but if you’re looking for reasonably priced table service and if you like the idea of supporting local business, Jessie’s is a decent & friendly place to eat with a true «mom-​and-​pop» feel to it.
