We popped in with the family during our trip and it was quite the bustling spot. Even though it was super busy, the team working there was really lovely and attentive which was great to see. Now, on to the grub. Overall the food was pretty decent, it certainly hit the spot, but we did notice the prices were a tad on the higher side for breakfast. Let me tell you about what we tried. The skirt steak and eggs were a definite highlight absolutely delicious and cooked just right and for those with a sweet tooth, the pancakes were a dream. We indulged in both the strawberries and cream and the chocolate chip banana pancakes, and honestly, they were both wonderfully fluffy and flavorful, a real treat. The fried chicken and waffles were okay. They didn't quite reach the same delicious heights as the other dishes, but they did the job. read more

Stumbled into Jax Inn diner late night on a weekend, there aren't any 24/7 options left. The diner was pretty empty, quick service. We ordered milkshakes, a bowl of chili & a grill chicken club which comes with fries, it was HUGE. Both the chili and club were delicious! We had enough food to take home and it was just as good the next day. read more

The food is great as is the atmosphere, and I love the music they play. The staff is also great and provide excellent service

I have been coming to this diner for over 15 years and the food is always top notch. But the people who work there are what makes this place amazing. Everyone who works there are the kindest and most professional people i have ever met. Definitely my favorite diner in queens, ny. read more

Really good food actually I have been here in the past but they stepped up the menu tacos and fish specials excellent for lent !!! And the pasta dishes are huge really 3 people can eat it great soups and good salads and clean rest room!!! read more

**based on a food delivery** Not sure why these ratings are so low but I LOVE this joint. The chicken avocado salad and the chicken parmigiana is DELICIOUS and HUGE. I especially love that the pasta comes with soup and 2 bread rolls, which are my favorite so soft and fresh! Would highly recommend this spot. Also random, but they have great cantaloupe! I usually order the half cantaloupe, it's always the sweetest. Highly recommend this neighborhood gem. read more

Review really 3.5 star place. Everyone here was nice and friendly and the service was very efficient. The portion sizes were fair for the prices and the food was good but not great. They're matzo ball soup was way too salty and the hamburger was overdone. The fries were respectable and I like that it's open 24 seven. It's a good local diner. But nothing that I would go out of my way for. read more

So, this diner is like an old friend. Reliable, always there, never trying to impress but still doing it. The portions are so big, you'll need a nap halfway through. I often come here with my family, and it's the one place we all agree on. Even my picky father in law doesn't complain here. The coffee? Strong enough to wake the dead. The vibe is classic diner - nothing fancy, just good, solid food that gets the job done. The same could be said for the service: quick, no-nonsense, and with just enough sass to make you feel like you're part of the family. If you don't mind a bit of retro charm and a menu that's 15 pages long, you'll be happy. Perfect for a lazy weekend breakfast... or a 3 AM snack. read more

This diner is pretty solid in terms of food. Their prices are comfortable and there is a large variety of options from breakfast to lunch to dinner. The place itself is a bit out dated and could use some remolding as well as better cleaning. The coffee is always very strong which is exactly how I like it. This past weekend I went with my family for brunch and ordered their French omelette which had bacon, Brie cheese and scallions. The omelette came with toast and home fries. The bacon could have been a little crispier but the flavor overall was very good. The home fries could also use some more seasoning but they were cooked well done which was how I like it. The only downfall was the service. We waited a while for someone to even take our coffee order and food order. The server had a bit of an attitude when we flagged him after waiting a while to take our order. An apology for the long wait from the server would have been more appropriate. All in all, this diner is a good option if you're in the area and want diner food. read more

Large diner that is open 24 hours. There is some parking out front. We came for breakfast which is a pretty busy time for them. The food was average. I had an omelette which comes with home fries and toast. The omelette was bland to me. I have never had good breakfast eggs aside from huevos rancheros at any restaurant, though. The turkey sausage was not the brown breakfast type. It was huge but too salty. I couldn't finish the last one. The best of everything was the home fries. It's hard to mess that up. read more

Decided to shoot over here as my fiancée was in the mood for some good Ole diner food. The place looks nice, clean, very old school diner feel. The food was good but not amazing. My fiancée omelet was nice and big and she said it was tasty, but could've been much hotter. I had typical diner fare with grilled cheese and bacon sandwiches. They had a nice amount of bacon on them but only about a slice of cheese on top and on bottom. A grilled cheese should be nice and overflowing with a good amount of cheese. As well the bread could've been toasted a little more. I asked for my fries to be crispy and I will give you they came out nice and crispy, some of the nicest fries I've had in awhile. The staff was very friendly and attentive. So if you want decent diner food hit this spot up, but don't expect to be blown away. read more

I don't find their food extraordinary, but they do have a lot to offer. It's likely that what you are thinking of eating or craving is probably on menu. There is a variety of cultural dishes--American style available. we came in on a Sunday after 11:30 AM and there was a long wait. Since it was just me and a friend , we headed to the Counter and skipped the wait for a table or booth. The noise level of dining conversations and overhead lounge music wasn't too bad. We enjoyed our banter immersed in own little bubble. Their bathrooms could use more attention. But I get it. It's the Sunday crowd and the staff is really busy cycling through groups of patrons to accommodate the next Group the that's been waiting for Brunch. We've been here on a weekday when the staff is much more personal and interactive. We don't come here for the food. It's just one of those places we all like to go where it is ok to hang with a few friends or family while breaking bread. There is free parking for about 25 cars in the back. This alone is a huge reason why we find it convenient to eat here sometimes. read more

I really like the food at Jax Inn diner-- their portions are very big and everything tastes good. Service is quick, warm, and friendly.

I've started coming here when my husband needs to get his car checked out at the dealership and the diner has the ambiance of an old fashion diner - i like that :) it's very nostalgic! we ordered waffles, a breakfast platter and even smoked salmon benedict which looked amazing, i almost switched plates with my mom that came with us! the waiter was very attentive and friendly - made sure our coffee was never empty and took our finished plates very quickly! I would definitely keep coming here if it weren't out of the way for me! read more

Came here for an early dinner because kids were hungry at 4:30pm and it's so easy to get a variety of food for them at a diner. Friendly service throughout from the hostess to the waitress to the busboy. Tables appeared clean and so did the floor! Ordered a cobb salad, lemon chicken piccata (choice of soup or salad so I went with chicken soup) and baja fish tacos. Food came fairly quickly. Cobb salad is a generous portion with all the toppings. The grilled chicken was the best part. Nice char-grilled taste. Overall, good salad to share and all the toppings were fresh. Lemon chicken piccata - kids loved the spaghetti. Chicken was cooked well. The sauce was okay. Chicken soup that came with it was alright, too. Baja fish tacos - I like that they added pineapple bits to it and the salsa has a bit of kick. Decent portions of fish. Good appetizer to share with kids. The one thing to note is the bathroom. Ladies room has one functioning stall because the door is completely busted. So its hit or miss with one stall given the cleanliness and all. But the meal was good and we all left happy. Love the booth seats overlooking northern boulevard. Keeps the kids busy while enjoying a meal. read more

Ordered the turkey dinner and it was a winner - must have been a pound of turkey and stuffing and it comes with choice of two sides. Well worth the $22. My only caution is I think there are slivered almonds in the stuffing and the online menu doesn't say that the meal contains nuts, so just a warning to anyone with a nut allergy to check with the restaurant before ordering. read more

So nice to see they're operating on 24/7 again! Their service is great, the delivery men are the sweetest and food is delicious. Ample parking if you're driving in and is great if you're hungry and just want to drive in. Food comes fairly quickly and still HOT if you choose delivery. Happy they were able to thrive despite the pandemic and seem to be doing great in this new "normal". read more

Jax Inn Diner - French Toast - Diners Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

This is a difficult one. I'm only speaking on my first experience. Jax inn seems like a restaurant that has been in a state of Comfort for many years. I would say they most likely understand their Clientele and vice versa; if you are still going to Jax, you know what you're getting yourself into. I don't want to use the excuse that just because a place is a diner, then you shouldn't expect more because there is genuine love and energy that comes from a good cafe. This diner feels a bit bland and lousy. You can tell the quality of a restaurant in how they treat their restroom. With that being said, the food was ok. I got the French toast with two scrambled eggs, home fries, and turkey bacon. Everything was pretty bland and flavorless. My friend got a turkey burger with fries which he described as acceptable. I enjoyed his fries. His wife called the corn beef hash, which she enjoyed with no complaints and nothing to rave about. The only reason this restaurant gets a two is based on quality and taste. I loveeeee diners and diner food, but nothing about what I ate made me want to come back. It was all just ok. The environment was fine, the wait staff was fine, the food was ok, and the restroom was unkempt. I would love to see more care and love put into this restaurant and a focused menu if they want this place to grow however this may not be the direction of management. Everything comes from the top down. 2 1/2 out of 5 read more

Anyone driven from the north east to Florida? Well, many miles before Dillon S.C. you begin the broadside barrage of highway billboards pitching a Mexican themed establishment called South of the Boarder. Watching my prospective waitresses wandering past me gave me the same feeling, one of confusion and annoyance. So after a few accelerated hand gestures (Italians are particularly skilled at this) towards the front, and after a few tennis volleys of heads, I was properly addressed. And in that twisted mind of mine, I'm disappointed that I didn't buy enough fireworks, enough to declare war on Canada, so I could really expressed my presence as my wait continued. I've probably consumed enough homefries to write a novel about which would include my continual exasperation of never receiving them extra well done, no matter where I am dining, no matter the server, it's a worthless exercise. Jax had two peppers inside, green and yellow and that raised my spirits some because the undercooking tradition continues and another notch is scratched into my skin. Sausage links, here's another common breakfast attendee of mine, not dry inside, but not moist but a snap to the casing which I always listen for and I'll put it up to my ear along with hotdogs when I'm alone at home. Three eggs of magnificent sunshine yellow seeped slowly after a single fork tine incision and perfectly placed rye bread was set to begin phase one of absorbance, home fries securing the outer perimeter. And it's important to point out that my parents never gave me the " don't play with your food" speech. read more

They sent a cup of ice, milk and sugar. read more

Jax Inn is a straightforward, traditional diner that doesn't try to be anything more or less. It provides a comforting and tasty experience without trying to be something it's not. My husband stopped by for lunch last Friday, and the place was packed even though it was before noon. Luckily we were seated rjght away, but we would've been willing to wait based on how popular the place seemed to be. Our server was really friendly and attentive, even though she appeared to be covering most of the tables for half the diner. She was definitely a pro! In terms of food, I ordered the tuna melt, which was served open faced on an English muffin. It came with coleslaw and a pickle, and I made it a deluxe (with fries). My husband ordered the Buffalo chicken sandwich with onion rings. I really liked every aspect of my meal and was pleasantly surprised by the house coleslaw, which had the perfect ratio of mayo to shredded cabbage. The fries were well seasoned and perfectly crispy, as were my husband's onion rings. He noted that the Buffalo chicken patty was a bit dry, but still decent overall. The portions were huge, and we went home with leftovers. Definitely worth a return visit next time I'm in the area. read more

We went to Jax Inn Diner few times in the past few months. Every time (except once) we were very happy with the service and food. Let's start from all the positives: - portions are truly "American" - enormous (there is no additional fee for packing the leftovers) - everything is fresh and tasty - servers are always very polite and helpful - there is a great choice of food and drinks - any modifications are possible - even while ordering online food tastes perfect - for the burger fresh ingredients are packed separately no to soften to burger - inside of the diner is clean and there are a lot of spaces available Our only bad experience was when buying just cake to go - Italian older man (someone like a manager) was not helpful and impolite. Also when it comes to how everything is served - you cannot count on the exactly same meal. One time sweet fries are thin and other time they are curly. Brownie all the way was also different every time - portion was way different size. read more

Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time! :) read more

This is my local go-to diner for breakfast. Pancakes or eggs benny are my favorite things to order and the coffee is great. Service is always on point so what more can you ask? If ordering eggs ask for it to be on another dish otherwise they will place the eggs literally over the pancakes. I've been here for dinner and the burgers and Philly cheesesteak sandwiches are less than stellar. Honestly I've only had good experiences here at breakfast. read more

This was some pretty good food! We wanted a bit of a variety so we ordered some things to split. Chipotle chicken burger with onion rings: The onion rings were great! Nice and crunchy with great flavor, not greasy. The burger on the other hand, the burger was a bit of a letdown. The burger had no flavor and the bun was dry. Jax Inn panini: the cheese was great and the turkey had great flavor with everything else. The side salad was surprisingly big with great ingredients! Greek salad: The grape leaves were canned but tasty! The feta cheese was creamy and worked well with the ingredients. The salad had fresh ingredients and felt like it had some love. I would get it without anchovies, but everything else was great. read more

Nothing special.Average food. Nothing overwhelms. Average all around. Prices are on the high side but that's the case with most eateries.

I have been coming here for several years now and it is one of the best diner in NYC! I always try something new from the menu whenever I'm feeling adventurous (which is most of the times). However, my staple orders are: Chicken Cesar Salad, the Buffalo chicken wrap, Sangria, and the Piña Colada. The menu is endless and it'll be difficult to choose from because they have so many delicious options. The service is always amazing. We even came here in the midst of the pandemic in 2020. The pictures attached, were my most recent tries. read more
