J&T's Family Cafe, nestled at 158 Sacandaga Rd in Scotia, NY, is a delightful family restaurant that has garnered glowing reviews from its patrons since opening in November 2016. The ambiance is heartwarming, embodying the charm of a well-managed diner, making it perfect for families and solo diners alike.

Guests rave about the exceptional quality of the food, particularly highlighting dishes like the Eggs Benedict with its superb Hollandaise sauce and perfectly runny yolks. Customer testimonials praise the homemade soups, particularly the stuffed pepper variety, drawing in soup lovers from near and far.

From perfectly executed steak and eggs to decadent French toast, every meal comes highly recommended.

Eggs Benedict was superb. Excellent tasting Hollandaise sauce. The egg yolk was perfectly runny - all of the yellow yolk was liquid but none of the white of the egg. Good quality ham paddy. Excellent service. The atmosphere is what you would expect for a well managed family run diner.

I've been in Scottsdale Arizona for the last 3 years . I had forgotten. How good or great some hometown diners are. It was phenomenal. This service was just a little bit better than perfect. It was just it couldn't have been run better. I ordered this steak and eggs and typically sometimes the steak might not be worth it. But in this case at the diner it was phenomenal. Ordered eggs over medium which typically are done wrong. They did them perfect. They had rye bread which is the only bread I eat It was just a great experience. Great meal. I just want to thank the staff

They have the absolute best taco salad in the capital district! I absolutely love J&Ts! The pricing is fair, the wait staff are great and I've never had a bad experience! Highly recommend for a great family atmosphere

Wow, we have been eating here since their opening in November 2016. The owners and staff are welcoming and very friendly. The home made soup (stuffed pepper is my favorite) if you are a soup lover like me, try one of their homemade soups. The decor throughout the cafe is simply adorable. The food always made to order is served hot. My family and I have NOT had a bad meal here. They cook poached eggs perfectly always and I mean always!! So happy this cafe is a part of our community. Such a family friendly place!!!

I like to randomly go to places to eat alone and today was J&T’s family cafe. I walked in and the establishment was packed. Seated very quickly, staff were pleasant. The energy in the building was amazing. I sat in the corner so I can watch everything, the staff greeted people professionally and seated everyone quickly they also displayed great teamwork, clearing tables and assisting one another. The food was amazing I had a short stack of French toast with eggs, sausage and home-fries and toast. I enjoyed every bite, I definitely will be back soon, I heard there Juliana is a must.

1st time at J&Ts and it was great! Basic breakfast food but done very well. The broccoli was fresh in the omelet and overall great dining experience!

Been here once for breakfast and once for dinner. Breakfast was GREAT. The place was super busy that morning but all went well. There were four in our party including two small children. Also tried the place for a burger at night. Less crowded then and only two in my party. The burger was very good, the fries were the standard diner fries, nothing special, but the macaroni salad and homemade chips were good. The staff is friendly and attentive but the place could be cleaner. Might be that it was late and they weren't able to keep up with the cleaning. Five stars because as far as local diners go this is a cut above all around.
