About Jenny's restaurant

Jenny's restaurant sits on Charlotte Street in Portsmouth as a walk-in spot where the counter team serves breakfast through the day in a compact city setting. The menu leans into morning plates, with eggs and other familiar breakfast items drawing regulars. One dish that travellers ask about by name is the banana longboat, a sweet-leaning plate that arrives as a breakfast option rather than a dessert. Tables are taken on a first-come basis, with no reservations accepted, and the room fills quickly through the morning rush. The space stays focused on the food and the steady turnover of customers, keeping service brisk at peak hours.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers come mainly for the cooked breakfast. One repeat customer calls the fry up the best they have had, and several describe portions so generous that a plate could not be finished. Close behind are the omelettes, including a bacon omelette and one served with homemade coleslaw, along with a brunch special, hot chocolate and a milkshake. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and welcoming, prices are called fair or good value, and several mention how clean the place is. One notes the recent renovation, and regulars describe years of visits and family meet-ups. The criticism is mild. One diner called the taste ok after a western breakfast with pancakes and hash brown, and noted that one man took the order, cooked and served, though he was quick. Another found the person on the till slightly humpy at a quiet 9am. One reviewer suggests the banana longboat, and another says the breakfast stayed hot all the way through eating it.
