Jem - Norristown

Jem is the go-to spot for breakfast in the East Norriton area and beyond. The restaurant features two counters and plenty of tables and seating. The waitstaff are incredibly friendly and ensure your coffee cup is always full. The 1950s-themed decor is intriguing, and the tabletops provide fun trivia questions from that era. The menu offers classic breakfast options that are both delicious and affordable. It’s especially known for its Scrapple Stix and Bo’s sausage gravy served over biscuits. Don't miss the chance to chat with the owner, Tony, who makes the rounds to greet and welcome guests. Please note that they currently only accept cash.

Let's talk about the atmosphere first. This restaurant has a classic diner vibe with a 50s theme, reminiscent of a bygone era. I visited with my grandmother on July 4th, and it was quite busy, which made the service a bit slow. We waited 40 minutes for our order of eggs, toast, and pancakes. However, the food was delicious, and the location next to a supermarket makes it a convenient stop before doing your weekend grocery shopping—a nice little break during a car ride.

One of the diners truly embodies everything we love about this type of establishment. The service is fantastic—everyone is genuinely friendly and attentive to customers! The interior is nice, the coffee is served hot, and the breakfast portions are generous and delicious. I hope to return soon! Just a heads up, they only accept cash.

This restaurant offers the best breakfast anywhere! They cook it exactly how you like it, and the staff is fantastic. Plus, the atmosphere is really nice and clean.

We discovered this restaurant while staying at the Hyatt hotel nearby. The food is excellent, but they don’t always get the orders right. After serving us drinks, they completely overlooked our table and it took over 20 minutes to take our order. I almost left! Thankfully, my boyfriend convinced me to stay because the food was worth it. The ambiance is really charming too. I've been to a 1950s diner in downtown Los Angeles, and if this place had gotten my order right, it would have been the closest experience to that diner in LA.
