Jethro's Cafe And Tavern - San Xavier

This is an exceptional mom paw type diner. You've got to try their chicken fried steak. The gravy is just wonderful.

So right off the bat, the food is fantastic. I got a chicken fried pork loin smothered in gravy. The gravy is exceptional. Their hashbrowns are done right. Very thinly shaved potatoes, pan or griddle fried perfectly on the outside, but still soft and fluffy inside. The eggs were cooked to order perfectly. With that being said here was my issue. (This is about 1 specific server, not the whole staff). We had a server who from the moment she arrived at our table was rude, indifferent, forgetful, and just seemed to dislike her job. Now she could've just been having an off day. Idk. I asked for water for the table after my daughter had ordered a lemonade. The server refused to bring her water because she already had a drink. I had to argue with her just for 1 more glass of water. Actually the 1st thing I brought to her attention was we only had 1 set of silverware at the table. She never acknowledged me but I know she heard me so I didn't bring it up again. When we ordered she wasn't helpful with our menu questions. When we finished ordering before I had even completed speaking she just walked away. Waiting for our food my wife, daughter and I played Candyland Chutes and Ladders. So it's a fun place. I kept waiting for her to return with more silverware but she never did. I had to stop a different server and ask her because our server was never seen again until she brought our food. When she did bring the food she forgot our toast. I reminded her we ordered toast and she said she'd go grab it. She never did. We never saw her again. After eating almost my whole meal, with the exception of my 2 eggs because I need toast, I had to flag down another server again and explain to her the situation with our server. She came back with our toast in 3 mins. I asked her for a box and the check because I was done with our server. When she brought the check she offered us a 20% discount or a free pastry on her. My wife and daughter chose the pastry. They do a military discount so I was going to get a discount anyway. I was quite pleased with the food. But our server was horrible. It was very disappointing. The free pastry was a gigantic, delicious cinnamon roll. Super fresh and just perfect. I absolutely recommend eating here. I'm hoping it was just a bad day for the server and normally she's great, but despite the crappy service that day the food and the atmosphere were amazing.

Always crowded and for good reason. The food never disappoints. Large portions so you can take home and enjoy again. Service is slow so and it can be hard to flag down a waitress for a coffee refill. Be prepared to wait but it is so worth it. Handicapped Parking is limited. Nothing fancy just hearty food and lots of it.

Diner eatery on Broadway East side. Their breakfast is pretty good. Huge, four egg omelets with a slab of hashbowns will not leave you hungry. I recently had the fish and chips. Not recommended. Fish was tough and flavorlous, and the chips were sparse and not very hot. Note on my ratings: 1 star, unacceptable. 2-3 stars, acceptable, but average, you could do better. 4 stars, above average quality, service and/or value. 5 stars, reserved for outstanding quality, value and service.

Eggs runny, bread not toasted (warm bread), bacon not cooked, pancakes raw...will not return!
