Al's omelette; full of veggies, cheese, & three types of delicious porcine muscle. You won't leave here hungry, or broke!

The stunning exterior. It's on the northeast side of Jefferson.

Mike's Omelet was a winner with Mike P.
Good food great people!
The unisex toilet could use a remod, but it's clean, and dare I say, cozy. Yeah, I dare.
2 eggs and toast cost $2.75. Compare that to 10 bucks for essentially the same thing at Fowl and Fodder on Adams.

Love this place
Awesome three dollar cheeseburger. If you like Green Lantern, you'll like Jefferson Express.
Double cheese burger. Note the OUTSTANDING ratio of beef to bun.
Hash browns n sausage
3 meat omelette with hashbrowns
This creation is known, on the menu, as "Mike's omelette." Mike P approves.
They have a nice juke box, too.
Turkey sausage omelet with home fries
Western omelet with side of pancakes

Our Saturday diner tradition continues and we had Jefferson's Express. This place is cash only and a true diner. Rita very small and they don't have any high hairs but the food is good and cheap and piping hot.

Don't sleep on this place Great service... food is made nice and fast great Breakfast for the right price can't really beat it to be Honest smokes Denny's and cracker barrel any day of the week if you ask me. I went right and 7 a.m. was nice and quiet good for a fast or casual Breakfast.

Found this gem online. I am new to toledo & looking for after work grub. So me and a co-worker thought we would try this. From the outside it looks a little questionable but once inside you get the clean cafe vibe. The waitress was adorable, the cook and I am assuming his wife were fantastic and the breakfast was amazing. It is so refreshing to find a old fashion mom& pop place that cares about their reputation and customers. This will be our Saturday morning routine from here on out!!!!

I never been before but had it bookmarked for years. There's maybe three 2 person tables. The rest is counter service. Maybe 10-12 seats. We arrived around 1pm and had to stand around a few minutes to get 2 seats.Like everyone says. All the waitresses are good looking and young. Its just something you notice. Friendly but slow service. Theres only 1 cook then there's a girl who toasts the bread etc. Worth the wait so pass the time talking to who you're with. Really good breakfast meats and omelettes. Those home fries are delicious. Its the thinly sliced potatoes. Not those cube looking potatoes I can't stand. Options to do half order for just about everything. Cheap prices but its cash only. $18 for breakfast for 2. Definitely worth checking out

This is an excellent little diner that's been here for about 60 years. It's been here for 60 years, yet my dumb ass wasn't insightful enough to eat here until last Wednesday. I am remiss.After having a fantastic and FILLING breakfast (Mike's omelette, toast, and home-fries) a few days ago, I told myself that I'd come back soon and try a burger. I told myself that the burger was good, I'd write a review. Well, I did, it was, and I am...I'm sitting here in the parking lot writing this.So, I had the cheese burger...and it was excellent. Like a BumBum Brazil contest, this burger starts out with great meat. It's perfectly cooked (which, for me, means a little pink in the middle and a little crispy around the edges), it's perfectly dressed, and it comes WITHOUT too much bread. Speaking of bread, I paid $6.95 (plus a nice tip for the great waitresses) for two sandwiches and a cup of coffee. Sweet deal. Two sandwiches? I also tried the sausage burger (cheese and pickles on top). It, too, was great.The service was great.The place has a classic diner feel; it shows it's age, but it's perfectly clean...even the dumper.I will definitely be back. 4 stars! The extra (fifth) star is because the juke box is pretty good. Also, Jefferson Express's cabaret-style Ms. Pac-Man machine isn't rigged...and the joystick works...56,000 points baby.

Very small place, the food was off the chain. Three was a little weird but it was worth it. Best breakfast I had in a long time. Everything was fresh.

I got the egg, bacon and cheese breakfast sandwich with a half order of Home fries with onions to-go -- SO good. I 100% recommend. The staff was extremely friendly and their prices are very affordable. I will most definitely be returning soon!

Just plain folks. Very downscale, but nice people and inexpensive good lunch. A good place for a cheap lunch when visiting another attraction in the downtown.
