When it comes to a homestyle meal, no one does it like Jewell Cafe. That’s because there’s more to classic eats than just made-from-scratch cooking (although we’ve got plenty of that from our famous prime rib to our house-made dressings). Yep, a homestyle meal has a personal touch. It needs a cozy atmosphere, a friendly greeting, and service that focuses on the folks at the table (or on the phone, if you’re ordering to go). Our guests find all that and more at our restaurant, where our first priority is making you smile. In fact, the only thing we love more than saying Welcome is saying Welcome back!
Based on 419 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.4 stars. Price $$

Steak was PERFECT, sides were great. Liver was fully cooked and wonderful. Shrimp cocktail has a sauce to match ANY high end place. Homemade salad dressings! A HIDDEN GEM! worth finding…

Nice place for a meal. Busy night but still felt relaxed and staff were very attentive to our table. Prime rib and burger were very good options for my wife and I.

Met some classmates there for lunch. Can’t believe its been 50 years! There were 18 of us and they were very accommodating. I tried the fried bologna sandwich and it was excellent!

Went with my dad and sister. I had the fried chicken Sandwich and fries. It had that home cooked feeling to it. Service was great. I would recommend it to anyone traveling through the area

Went on a Saturday evening, and I ordered a 16 ounce prime rib which comes with salad, biscuit, and potato. The prime rib was amazing, cooked perfectly. Unlike many places I’ve been, they actually know how to cook it as requested. If you ask for a medium cooked prime rib they actually cook it to medium done. Well worth the price too, two people $65 for two full meals. Staff was great and friendly too, loved them all. Will definitely be stopping here again and I’d highly you stop and have a prime rib on Saturday. Only ding I give is the place isn’t a n awesome atmosphere, kind of feels like a roadside diner or truck stop, but it’s in an old small town in the middle of nowhere so what else can you expect?

What a pleasant surprise! Found this place on Yelp passing through town and it had 5 stars but was in the middle of no where. It was delicious! I got the perch special. The staff and customers were so friendly and someone even paid for my meal! Highly recommend this place.

It’s the second time I ate there. The food is just like it was home made. Service great, food got it quickly, food was great and the cost was cheap. One of the best mom and pop places I’ve ever eaten at. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This place is probably the cheapest place I’ve been in a long time, and I mean that in the best way possible. You get big portions and save money, leaving full and satisfied every time. The server was very friendly, and felt more like a friend than just a server. You feel like you’re a part of a family here, so in conclusion this place is just… Perfect

Excellent local Cafe with family type American dishes. Employees are friendly & very attentive to your needs! We had a wonderful experience there as we dined inside. Clean & ready always to serve a good time. There is a bar there where alcohol can be requested – in case you need to know…Kudos!
