Hole-in-the-wall, in the best way

The Marlborough diner you tell your friends about.

Jake's has been on Main Street since 1985 — same recipes, same coffee pot on the burner, same warm welcome. We're not fancy. We're family-run, generous with the portions, and honest about the prices.

Our story

  • Made-to-order

    Cooked when you order it. Never sitting under a heat lamp.

  • Family-run

    First-name basis with our regulars since '85.

  • Bottomless coffee

    Hot, fresh, and topped off before you ask.

  • Big portions

    You will not leave hungry. Bring a friend or a to-go box.

"Reliable, lively brunch spot with delicious specials. I got Jake's big breakfast — the scrambled eggs were done perfectly. Crispy bacon, real maple syrup. Reliable comfort."

"I came in for pancakes and waffles and got way more than I imagined. The hospitality was infectious — from the entrance to the chefs! Even the customers were friendly. Huge portions."

"Absolutely the BEST play on Eggs Benedict I've ever eaten! The perfect poached egg — firm white, soft runny yolk. The béchamel cheese sauce with corned beef hash and buttered English muffin… unreal."
