I cannot say enough good things about DJ's Diner at Crossroads Ford. The breakfast is amazing and the lunch menu and burgers are mouthwatering, just awesome. You don't have to be getting your car serviced to eat here! Just come check it out! You won't be sorry!

Such a hidden gem! I'm so glad I found this place. The prices are great, the people are great & the food is amazing! My favorite is the chicken philly. My fiancé loves their burgers!

Hidden gem. Yes, it's in the car dealership. Yes, Dale Jarret's car dealership. No frills but breakfast was huge and around $5. Excellently prepared. Staff is attentive. Will definitely be back!

They don't have hours posted. Therefore I will assist with that:) enjoy :)

Incredible food! I had the "Loaded Chicken Sandwich, fries, and a sweet tea. Loaded means grilled chicken breast, fried egg, crisp bacon, lettuce and tomato, and hot bun. Best darn chicken sandwich I've had in a long time! Fries were hot and were amazing. Tea wasn't too sweet but just right. I will come here again and strongly recommend to others that want a quality lunch and not the wait. Enjoy DJs! read more

Food was just okay. Had a club sandwich and a steak sandwich. Staff was friendly. It's inside of a Ford Dealer between where they store tires and new vehicles that are inside. The decor is so nice. Probably will not return but it's worth a try. read more

Would you think of having breakfast or lunch at an auto sales place? Probably not but this diner at CROSSROADS FORD will change your mind. It is clean neat and good food, quickly provided. I've eaten there several times. My favorite is the fajitas but there is plenty of American food as well, plus ice cream and lots of salads. It is not noisy and of course, being a dealership, there is plenty of parking. Enjoy. read more

**Update - still sitting here while car maintenance is being done. 4 dealership employees walk in at 10:15am and order burgers. Order taken, food delivered. I guess the 11:00 am rule exists only for non-regulars. I understand "rules" but are they really more important than customers Food may be great, wish I could have tried it. Unfortunately poor customer service prevented me from ordering anything. 9:30 am on a Wednesday, 3 other people here and no one eating. I asked if they could make a burger on the completely empty griddle. Was told lunch isn't served until 11:00am and the cook won't make any non-breakfast food on the griddle. I could order a sausage patty or bacon sandwich from griddle. Clearly a sausage patty is significantly different than a burger. Disappointing way to operate a business. . read more

I don't understand why there is only one review. This place is extremely delicious and is the most reasonable price I have ever seen and paid for some breakfast. I have made it a tradition to come here every morning before it opens. I am able to spend $20 a week and have a $50 breakfast a week. This place is extremely amazing highly recommend it to anyone who has not tried it yet. read more

The BBQ was delicious, and was well complemented by the sides. I had one of his rolls with the BBQ and slaw, and it was awesome! The fries were very tasty as well. I ordered the fried flounder, which was two generous pieces, with hush puppies. The sides I picked were pinto beans and collard greens. With salt added to the pintos and vinegar to the collards, they were perfect! The flounder was delicious. I didn't taste the hush puppies yet because I got too full and had to get a takeout box! The counter and grill ladies were very pleasant and our order was done right! For great food, nice folks, and a clean, well-appointed (and very popular) restaurant, this is your place!

High turnover with staff, though service is satisfactory. Kitchen staff just needs a "makeover" at times.

Instantly transported through time as it looks like a 50s diner. I believe we walked in around 2:30pm and they were closing at 3 pm but a lot of other customers were walking in as well trying to get a last minute sandwich. Now, you can tell the workers working in the kitchen and behind the counter were younger kids because they were not very communicative or explained the menu well. We would ask a question and they would just reply with "yes" , "no" or look at us like if we should already know. Either way we ordered two sausage dogs and their Carolina BBQ dog. VERY DELICIOUS! A perfect little pick me up on a Friday afternoon. Their sandwiches looked delicious as well and if im ever in the area, I will def return and try other things on their menu.

Ordered a small guacamole and let me tell you it was the best guac I've had in years, so fresh and flavorful. I got a small order to go. Ordered the Enchiladas Rancheras, Quesabirria tacos, and one Asada(steak) taco for entrees. Enchiladas lack flavor seasoning and the meat was dry. Birria was decent, a more authentic Mexican flare but could use a bit more seasoning. Asada taco was a no go for me. Not sure what type of steak is used but it was cubed and overcooked. Didn't really taste like steak to me. Ordered a strawberry and house frozen margarita. Both were icee (not smooth)and watered down. No flavor and definitely no alcohol in sight.
