    JB's is old school - a great little diner with cheap prices, great food, big portions and very friendly older waitresses. I've only ever had breakfast here and haven't been disappointed. Ask the waitress about the specials, they usually have some sort of massive breakfast boat that is of pretty good value. The only complaint I have is their sausages aren't great. Go for the bacon instead.

    JB's has some of the best breakfasts in the city. You get a ton of food and the prices are very decent. Today I had bacon and eggs with hashbrowns and toast, and it was only $8.45 for a huge plate of food. There's no way I could ever finish a plate here. Lucky for me my husband has a bigger stomach than I :) Other breakfast offerings include omelettes, french toast, and pancakes. They have a full lunch/dinner menu as well.

    JB's is in Beverly in the northeast part of the city. It's not too far from my place, so it's easy to get to and nicer than going to Denny's or something like that. It's got a real diner feel, in that the food is tasty and reasonably prices, and the waitresses are waitresses, darnit!, who have been doing this for years with real personality, not teenagers in short skirts trying to get tips. The restaurant is actually really big with a lot of tables and a high ceiling; very clean and open space. Every time I've been to JB's it's totally busy, but I've never had to wait more than a couple of minutes for a table.
    They have a small parking lot but it's usually full. Lots of street parking available.

    Breakfast lovers, go here!

    JB's (or Jay Bee's, depending on which sign you're looking at) is an unassuming little diner in northeast Edmonton. It's similar to a Smitty's but with a more friendly, small-town atmosphere.

    The staff at JB's really make you feel at home and the food is nothing to scoff at. The prices are very good for the portion sizes and the food is usually quite good.

    Now, the food is certainly not fine dining, so don't expect that. But it's a step above the Smitty's and Humpty's restaurants that it competes with in most respects. The burgers are a bit weak, since they are just made from pre-made patties, but their homemade entrées are generally good and the breakfasts are excellent.

    Honestly, I should probably only be giving JB's 3.5 stars, because while I love the "at home" feeling and the good prices, the food isn't quite worthy of a four-star rating. But, you can't give half-stars on Yelp and 3 stars doesn't quite capture my feelings about JB's.

    This restaurant is awful, the decor is a mix of 'Eww, how long has this been here?' and 'Did they get that from the Ikea dumpster?'. The service was alright, that was the best thing I had to say about the place. The food is unknown, and I mean that as 'I have no idea what I ate.' My burger slid out of the bun...and my onion rings tasted like popcorn. Yuck. I am getting nausea's thinking about this meal.
