Highlights include the "awesome" coconut chicken and waffles, and crispy breakfast potatoes. While some seating issues and occasional service delays are noted, the overall dining experience is positive and memorable.

But as the place filled up it was almost impossible to carry on a conversation. Especially since we were sitting next to a party of eight that were specially loud. THe food came very fast, although we did get there before a rush. IT was excellent. The bathrooms were a bit of a disappointment with lacking toilet paper and some soap. The exit was very fast with paying and getting to go boxes. Would definitely come back....but again at a low peak time.

The drinks and food are a little pricier, but so worth it! We went the six of us and everyone loved their meals. The service was great as always highly recommend.

Sat down, got a drink order and it took 27 minutes to get a glass of wine and a non-alcoholic beer. The waters showed up late however the waitress filled our glass 1/2 way up and then did not come back to check on us the entire time until about a minute before the drinks came out making excuses why they were running behind. During this whole process she never took our food order, so we basically say there with menus put on the side of the table and not one person came to ask how we were doing or if we needed anything. The menu was completely opposite of what it used to be. I think Applebee's has a more extensive menu with better options than Jams now. You won't be impressed. We order finally and the food came out looking extremely sub-par and truly looked like they did not care at all what it looks like. The waitress did not say one thing to her floor manager however he seemed to know we were not getting good service and just put his head down and walked by us like 10 times. So basically, it starts at the top and trickles down to everyone that if there is an issue, why say anything?? Just ignore them and eventually they will go away.. Well, we are going away for the rest of my existence unless they made some dramatic changes or could show me that that was a bad night. But for now, there are other places that are way better.

Our last visit was terrible but we thought we would give it another try. But the seating remains poor, seats are tired and uncomfortable. The food was not great. The salad had avocado skin in it and was otherwise overpowered with salad dressing. The chocolate cake desert was dry. Doubt that we will be back.

We were seated right away and had a great waitress but once we ordered our drinks and food, it was quite awhile before anything came out….. That’s the only complaint I had. Otherwise, great!

However, found prices high for what we got. In Old Market should expect this though. Service was excellent, but it was also quite empty when we ate, so not many customers.
