What Eliezer Kling doesn't like about Jess' Lunch:
This place used to be amazing but the new staff and atmosphere has made it disgusting. Our food was cold and not cooked all the way and I found a hair in my food . The bathroom was very dirty and the staff was unfriendly and kept talking about how they got arrested and would run from the cops if they came in .

Man oh man... Stopped at Jess'Lunch Downtown for supper. This has to be the best burger in town. Falty cooked me up this bacon cheeseburger and it was what my belly was wanting. Jamie was my server, service was great. I'll be coming back for Falty's cooking and Jamie's service. Words can't do justice to this burger and service I got at Jess'Lunch Downtown. Thank y'all.

Great hot dogs, burgers and shakes. I think the building used to be a bank, you have to go to the window to order in the drive-thru, so wait.

I have the Lil Gus Burger, Pommes and a can of root beer. It was delicious! So the Lil Gus Burger has mushrooms, pepper Jack cheese, bacon and BBQ sauce on it....

Although Jess' Lunch Downtown has received some negative feedback recently, with complaints about cold, undercooked food, dirty bathrooms, unfriendly staff, and a decline in quality from the original owner's recipes, there are still positive reviews to consider. Many customers have praised the delicious burgers, fries, and Gyros, along with the friendly service from staff like Falty and Jamie. The vintage vibe and classic signage add to the charm of this old-school lunch counter, despite some cleanliness issues. Overall, it seems that while there may have been some recent challenges, Jess' Lunch Downtown continues to serve up tasty meals and a unique dining experience that is worth a visit for those looking for a classic diner experience in downtown Harrisonburg.
