Jill's Diner

We are making this post to notify everyone that our phone line is currently down.

We are here to update you and warn you.

‼️ TWO MONTHS!!! Last Tuesday, we hit our 2nd month in business at our new location ❤️ Business is great; we're staying very busy, and we've made many new friends. We would say that everything is absolutely perfect, but we've recently noticed something strange happening in our back dining room….

⚠️ A few Fridays ago, we noticed that about every 45 minutes, we would receive a complaint. After nearly two decades in business, we're aware that guest complaints are just part of it. People come in with bad moods, bad days, or just bad times, and some people are just unhappy overall; we get it! Everyone needs to eat. The strange thing is that every single one of these complaints was received from guests who were sitting at one specific table (W1) in our back dining area. At first, we thought it was a coincidence, but after the 4th setting of said table complained, we made the decision to close that table for the day as a temporary solution. Once the table was closed, the whole vibe turned around; there were no more complaints, and we were showered with compliments, and guests were just happy to be here with us 🧐

After our daily meeting, aka the two hours we spend cleaning the restaurant each day after closing. Our staff decided that we're simply just way too busy to decrease our seating. We had to come up with a creative solution, so we decided the best way to handle this problem would be with a "sit at your own risk" warning label. We've found that our solution has actually turned all the moods around, and the guests are loving it! It's honestly been quite the conversation starter here at Jill's.

So, just remember: if you've sat at W1, blame it on the table, not the service, food, or environment.

A few other things that happened last month: We taught more customers how to take their own orders! They're fast learners around here ✍️ We also got our sound panels hung, then we were notified that they were not hung right but it definitely has helped.

Also, this little chef guy by our register you may remember from our last location. We decided to keep him simply because the little kids LOVE him and he definitely occupies the little ones while parents are paying their bill! We noticed the other day that one of you stuck a spoon in his hand. We're not too sure which one of you did it, but we do thank you for the laugh; it made our day.

Anyway, happy birthday to our kitchen manager Shannon today and here's a reminder that we're closed on Mondays 😊

Go support these great people and eat some great food while you can!!! We are sending prayers to them.

Happy Saturday all. We come to you with some sad news. Lucas Brothers will be closing. Nexus presented some new terms that we simply cannot afford. Another rent increase and a 5 year lease that will include a 3% increase in rent every year during the duration of the lease. Fieldhouse tournaments are almost non existent. When they are scheduled, it's Sat only and they are almost always canceled. We do not have enough traffic /sales to support the increase. Our building isn't ready and we do not have a date on when it will be ready. We will attempt to sell out of the current frozen product that we have and that will be it for us. Thank you for showing up and supporting us during this journey. This was our first business and the food industry is a tough one. It's a lot of work and very little profit after overhead. We did our best but are unwilling to spend any more money on new leases or other spaces/food truck etc. If our building gets completed, we may reopen there when the time comes. Thank you all and until next time.

Our day started with smoothies delivered to us courtesy of Integrity Garage Doors LLC, and ended with a wonderful dessert made by one of our guests, Sean. Thank you both very much for the sweets!
Life is great over here on National Rd and we are adjusting so well to our new place. We are very thankful for everyone that continues to cheer us on 🤗

We're so happy here and life is just wonderful 🩷. We couldn't be more thankful for our blessings. Business is going amazingly, our staff is rocking it and have stuck with us even after having to close down for over a year! Today was another packed day for us! At one point they were lined outside the door waiting to get in. We are beyond blessed to have the support that you all are giving us.

Today, our neighbors King Nails & Pro Dip brought all our girls Mother's Day presents - it was the sweetest. We've been having a blast with them. They are so much fun!!

Also, today Ye Olde Fish House brought us all donuts again. We were told that our waitress Jen was walking through the dining room eating a donut and telling the guests, “Donut bother me right now.” The only thing we can say is that if you were here, then you got to experience the true setting of Jill’s Diner.

Anyway, we have the next two days off 😍 We will be closed on Mother's Day because all mothers deserve a day off work, and we're closed on Mondays!

🥞 ☕️ We will be back to feed you on Tuesday 🥓 🥚
Happy Mother’s Day 💕

Hungry for a taste of simpler times You will find it in Indiana, where chrome stools, bottomless coffee, and sizzling griddles still set the mood. These
