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!"

My wife and I ate dinner at the Jewel Cafe wit our good friends. I had the Pasta Bowl with Alfredo and Chicken while the other three had the Prime Rib. All of our food was excellent. The pasta bowl was perfect. The three prime rib dinners were cooked to perfection. The meat was tender and juicy. We all highly recommend the Jewel Cafe based on the excellent food and wonderful service.

Really impressed by this homey diner in the middle of nowhere! The mushroom swiss burger was solid, with super fresh veggies and a generously sized patty. It could use a little more seasoning. The pretzel bites are a must-have. My boyfriend took them up on their special, a half-rack of ribs, which were falling off the bone as promised.
This place is definitely preferable to the fast food chains when driving through the area. Service was fast and friendly.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

Victoria, if the ribs don't fall off the bone, then they aren't ours! We're thrilled we could surpass your expectations. We may be in a small town, but we offer big flavors! We hope to welcome you and your boyfriend back again the next time you're driving through.

We both had prime rib tonight. We had to send it back because it was cold. They heated it up for us. My husband's prime rib had veins or arteries in it and both were so tough we could hardly cut it let alone chew it easily. Very disappointing for the price we paid.

Tried this place again. Originally ate here in March, 2020, based on Yelp reviews. I like to eat and local eateries and support the local entrepreneurs whenever possible.
Ordered almost the same meal I had before, fried chicken, twice baked potato, and substituted French onion soup for the salad. The soup was really good! Good start to the meal. The 4 piece chicken meal is now a 3 piece meal which was fine. Waitress explained chickens they were getting were larger than normal. Didn't bother me. Good taste to the fried chicken, but still a bit overcooked for me. Twice baked potato was OK. Would probably try something different if I return, which I likely will.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Todd, we appreciate you for joining us and leaving some feedback. We have a lot to explore on our menu, and we know your next meal with us will be absolutely amazing.
Hope to see you again,
Kelly Mckenney, OwnerMar 9, 2020Previous reviewLots of good reviews so thought I would check it out. Got one of their specialties, fried chicken with a twice baked potato and salad. Overall service was pretty good. Food was not quite as good. Fried chicken was WAY overcooked. I was a little surprised they even sent it out. Twice baked potato was underwhelming. Prices were about average. Not sure I'd come back.

I needed to show my family the real small town Ohio kinda food and friendliness I grew up with. The Jewell cafe was perfect. Such friendly hometown service, and lots of home style cooking. Everyone was satisfied and left feeling like they were part of the family.

my son was working for Kelly, he worked a 30 hour week and was only paid 18 hrs of that 30. she said she had no proof of him working mind you, the employees said they remembered him being there. but to her she said they told her they couldn remember. so I told her to check her cameras to prove he was there, she told me for some reason her cameras were down that week! she still refuses to pay him what he worked. with that being said if you work for Kelly make sure you keep proof of all your shifts worked bc she will not pay u! a few employees have told me their checks don't adad up sometimes but nobody is willong to confront her

I would technically only give this place 2.5 stars if I could. Staff was VERY friendly but service was crazy slow and the food was really mediocre and not that cheap. My husband got a Prime Rib salad and all the lettuce was iceberg. My sons grilled cheese was very average-I definitely make better at home. I love a local dive that's why we checked it out tonight but unfortunately we won't be coming back here.

My wife and I came through Jewell on a road trip and as I searched for food on our route, I found this gem.
We were the only ones there, as I think it was just after opening.
I had the rueben and I think my wife had the burger (it's been a little while since we were there). But I do remember my wife had the french onion soup and loved it. My rueben is the best I've had in Ohio and it is probably the 2nd best I've ever had in my life (the best is still at Shorts Brewery Pub in Bellaire, MI).
To end our meal, we had some pie. We both opted for a coconut cream pie. The pies are small, but at least those coconut cream ones they, you can get just one and share it. We took the other one home, which you know, that isn't a bad idea either.
I look forward to the next road trip that takes us that way, as we will be stopping and trying something else on their menu and also trying out one of their many other pies.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

We appreciate you and your wife for stopping by while you were in town, Ben. It sounds like our Reuben and French onion soup really amazed you two! Whenever you're in the area again and in need of a delicious meal and a slice of pie, we hope you'll stop by!
Until next time,
