Jubelt's Bakery & Restaurant

We saw billboards down the road for Jubelt's and decided to stop in for lunch and it was a good decision. Everything looked good, the bakery goods looked delicious. I had the Ranch burger with creamy cheese, ranch dressing and onions rings on the burger, so good.

Based on some of the reviews, we were looking forward to a, hand crafted experience.

We found that if the pastries don’t come off of the food distributors truck, for some reason they’re made to taste like they do.

We tried 2 of their recommended specialties from the baked goods case, a flakey puff pastry and a cinnamon roll. The pastry seemed stale and we brought it to the attention of a team member at the register. She apologized and happily replaced it. It’s substitute wasn’t better, and we just gave up.

The cinnamon roll also seemed stale, and had an ingredient we couldn’t pinpoint that seemed out of place.

For our meal we ordered one biscuit & gravy and the Texas Burger.

Again the alleged store baked biscuit seemed off, and the gravy didn’t have the taste of being freshly made. No flavor and maybe even no sausage?

The burger was nothing special, but it was tasty and we were happy to split it.

Over all, the vibe and the environment was great! Very friendly and busy. We just figured that maybe this is just some thing regional as this restaurant/bakery has been around a long time and still seem to do quite well. I think it’s just not for us. We’re glad we tried it, but feel there is no return trip needed.

This will be a short review because in a nutshell, you just need to eat here; no excuses.

I ordered french toast and an egg White omelette. I ordered on the phone and they told me they did not have egg whites, but they had cholesterol free eggs. So I went with it and picked up my order. I went inside and the staff was extremely friendly; the atmosphere was very Hometown. The hashbrowns are phenomenal and the biscuits are some of the best I've ever tasted. Hands-down one of the best home cooked

The worst experience! The young blond lady with multiple piercings behind the cash register/counter hands down has been the rudest person we have encountered.Not friendly environment at all…although customers were very nice!My husband/ his family has been going here for over 60 years.

When I asked if they had anything gluten free, I was told nothing there was gluten free and then I saw a roll on the menu that was listed gluten free and asked if they had any…she snapped “yes”.Then I asked is it a sweet roll like a cinnamon roll or? And she said rudely “it’s a roll”. I asked I just wasn’t sure if it was a roll to put butter on it or? And she said it’s a roll.

They also charge 32 cents for a cup of ice. Odd because we were eating in. I could have had it in a mug , but it was because of the cost of the cup.

And then when my husband went to get his two donuts to go, the other waitress let the girl know that he was at the counter and she was very obvious to say I know and did nothing about it made him wait. Then threw the donuts in the bag with a scowl. When he did receive the Donuts, He proceeded to walk out the door and throw them in the garbage. We will not give those donuts to his daughter three hours from here when the people we just paid $27 to treated us like dirt. For no reason. We always come into any establishment being polite and friendly and usually also talk to customers there. Unbelievable.

We had Mother's Day lunch. It was soo delicious! The waitress was amazing. She was very friendly and nice. We took home some extra bakery items. Everything was fantastic. Great experience.

I’m moving across the country, stopped in at one of my favorite high school spots while staying in Illinois. They still got it that’s for sure! I got myself a latte and a breakfast sandwich, tipped 27% and it was still only $15. That’s way cheaper than Starbucks, and my food was made with care and was so good! Kimberly was so nice at the window and saw I was moving, told me to be safe. Very sweet girl.

40 minutes for a BLT. Ended up with a refund because it was not done. So much for my hour lunch.
Absolutely no excuse for this.
*edit. It was a drive through order.
If you cannot prioritize single meals over full tickets to expedite your business you're failing at food service.
I've cooked, and I've served. If that is your policy you're choosing to lengthen your cook times and waste man hours for nothing but loss.
No restaurant I've ever worked in would choose to ignore an order that takes up 6 square inches of grill space or 30 seconds in a deep fryer because of other tickets before it.
Especially FOR A DRIVE THROUGH.
You really cannot manage your orders and timing so much that you are only capable of serving tickets in the order you put them in?
Who are you lying to? What kind of kitchen are you running??.

Known this store for 50yrs or more, this was not a banner day. Pastries were or tasted old. Definitely not up to expectations we have had over the years. So sad, a tradition going down. And no ya can't blame COVID. Tall lady didn't make you feel welcome or that she liked her job. I guess everybody does have an off day.

Got the whitefish dinner last night for the family. Wasn't that great. The fish was a bit stale, like they made a lot at a time and it just sat there. The slaw was absolutely disgusting. 1 order was missing a side. The green beans were good, but for a lent special, probably they shouldn't have bacon in them. The pie it.... for a bakery it was not good at all.
I wish y'all made your own donuts.. I miss the days I could get fresh in town. But I know y'all get them from melocreme, I've seen the boxes, you need find out why they appear stale at times. Also your decorated cookies those are to thin lately. They lack flavor.
I still stop by for salads often but not for baked goods

We are traveling from out of state and decided to eat here because of the good reviews, but I wouldn’t eat here again. My food was mediocre at best for $15, not to mention I was charged .30 cents for water! The staff was nice enough but the food was not worth the hype in my opinion.
