Jerry’s Main Lunch. What can I say? …iconic old-school greasy spoon diner. The best! The staff are friendly. The food is amazing! And the prices are extremely reasonable. The locally made cinnamon rolls are huge! I’ve paid 5-times the price for places that aren’t even close to being as good as this.This will always be my go-to when I’m in Burlington Iowa.

Never been here before. Friendly staff and knowledgeable about their menu. Great selection and great prices. A little to homemade for me but I felt welcome. All of the food is prepared onsite. I will be back. Not large do don't bring a group. Only a bar and stools. No

Only eaten here twice and both times had the grilled ruben. So good and fresh. Food is prepared on hot, precise grill right in front you as you sit at a bar-style counter. Reminiscent of a Rockwell painting. Can't stress enough how great it is to have your dish prepared, bam, right in front you piping hot and what else you need, boom bam, they got it right there. Cleanest "greasy-spoon" I've ever enjoyed. Will be back for the patty melt.

Great service, great food, you get to sit at the counter with everybody else, or place to go order, no tables. Fairly priced, catch up on some local gossip.

I have been here twice and had a great time both times. The folks that work there are kind and have a very big "family" vibe, which they rub off onto regulars as well.The food is tasty, nothing fancy or elaborate, but when you want a standard and tasty cheese burger or breakfast, they serve it up well.The prices are beyond generous and I would take their burger over any fast food place in a heart beat.Thanks for the good food!

Cozy local perch serving all manner of comfort foods. Extensive options with everything available for any meal. Excellent prices and down-home charm make for nice garnish to their tasty food. Not to be missed. Very limited seating but super easy parking.

Vintage cafe like something from a movie. Good food, too. My wife ordered a BLT and they brought her a grilled cheese. Close enough. The pie is excellent.
