I'd been wanting to try Juke Box for a few years so while in the area recently, I finally gave it a try. I had a good breakfast here and would come back. I'm betting this is a family owned business. Service was great. I came late on a weekday morning and Juke Box was not super busy so I was seated immediately. I went with my default diner breakfast, country-fried steak, toast and eggs with hash browns. While not necessarily part of my default diner breakfast, I also ordered an Oreo shake to satisfy a craving for something sweet and cold. My order was filled quickly and correctly. The country-fried steak and eggs was satisfactory and the whipped cream and cherry topped Oreo shake was excellent. In short, I like Juke Box Diner. read more

I want the coffee to be stronger. I want the onions cooked more. I want the biscuit moister. It's fine for a straightforward breakfast, but the diner experience is more manufactured than authentic. read more

Ordered carryout for brunch. Hubs got eggs with corned beef hash, toast, and home fries and I got the savory crêpes which has scrambled eggs, smoked bacon, and a cheddar cheese sauce. Not wanting the cheddar cheese sauce, I asked for it on the side so I could at least taste it but not doused on my food and they literally gave me a side of the sauce while still putting it on my crêpes. Food was ready in a jiffy and both dishes were yummy, but the hubs ate his before I could take a pic. Minus a star for not following a customer request because it could be a dietary or allergy restriction so it's crucial to follow a customer's request. Hubs picked it up but unfortunately, we didn't realize it till he got home. read more

In an area where diners are closing every other day, this one is pretty good and one of the last good ones left. The service is very attentive. The quality of food is pretty good for the price and we never leave hungry. I've had the country fried steak here which is very good and we really love their onion rings. Both their sausage patties and links have great flavor. My husband enjoys their burgers. This place is no-frills but very enjoyable. read more

A solid diner with good food! Though the interior at the other location has a bit more charm. But if you're in the area and want some local diner grub, this location will take care of you! read more

Food: Western Omelette(added tomatoes and American cheese) with home fries and rye toast . Yummy! Home fries were nice and crispy. Bacon Omelette with home fries and subbed a pancake-also very good and nice fluffy pancake! Coffee-good! Service- Very nice waitress who made sure we had everything we needed and checked up on us. Ambiance: It's like an old time diner inside with red booths and a large counter with stool seating. read more

I've driven past Jukebox Diner many times over the last six months and finally decided to stop in for lunch today. I ordered a chicken fajita omelette with egg whites and rye toast -- it was excellent! The restaurant was very clean, the service was attentive, and there's plenty of parking. Great value for the price. Highly recommend and I'll definitely be back. The restrooms are very clean read more

Jannet was, without a doubt, the worst waiter we have ever dealt with. We came in for a simple breakfast, and somehow she managed to ruin the entire experience. The steak she brought out wasn't just undercooked--it was completely raw, like it had barely touched the grill. It was disgusting and absolutely inedible. Instead of apologizing or taking responsibility, Jannet acted annoyed that we even pointed it out, as if serving raw food was somehow acceptable. Then came the bill, which was the final insult. She charged us $30 for two chocolate milks and one apple juice--an outrageous amount that made no sense at all. When we questioned it, she didn't explain or apologize; she just gave us attitude. Between the raw steak, the ridiculous drink prices, and Jannet's rude, dismissive behavior, the whole breakfast was a disaster. read more

I love retro diners and visited Juke Box April 11, 24. I ordered a chicken sandwich with onion rings. I was expecting a nice chicken breast on toast. I got what looked like chicken nuggets, but shaped round like a donut and cut in 4 pieces. I guess this would have worked had I ordered a regular bun, but I did not want the extra bread. The chicken nuggets were ok, but chewy. The display was appealing, but too messy to eat like a sandwich, so I used a knife and folk. Service was good; and the ambiance is of a retro diner with some needs of repair. read more

Horrible eggs tasted like water. French toast and hair. Harbors soggy and same with the bacon drenched in grease. Hashbrowns tasted like sausage. Sausage tasted like hashbrowns. I don't even know how that's possible. Waffles had a plastic like after taste read more

Fun spot to go! My usual time is breakfast. I love the coffee here. It's strong and gives you wings! French toast is delicious, and actually that seems to be the theme. Also for the $, you will get good portions. That is important. It's a clean diner. Also the employees here are super. Every visit solid customer service. Parking is a cinch. Like the location, and that it's an eclectic place, compared to some of the areas boring restaurants. This one is fun, and that breakfast is still helping boost a tired man working. Thank you and happy holidays! read more

Great retro style, Elvis nods everywhere. Overall, it was clean, cheap, and the food was good. I got a basic bacon and eggs breakfast for $14, happy with it. The service was very attentive and friendly. However, my food took a while to get out (despite it being a pretty slow Tuesday morning). read more

Juke box Diner is a gem! Food - they have a decent menu, primarily American food, burgers, sandwiches, steak entrees, salads etc They also have kabobs. Prices are optimal, given inflation, their menu is very affordable compared to similar American restaurants. Service - the servers are efficient and nice. They take orders, serve the food and make sure everything is ok. Ambience - they did some renovation this year and upgraded the juke box (it's digital now). We also recently found out the extended area behind the diner, which is surprisingly large and new. We love coming here! read more

Pleasantly surprised. Doesn't look like much from the outside but my food was great. Big menu with lots of options. Have to try the loaded home fries with cheese, peppers, onions, and sausage gravy. Wow. Give them a try for sure - solid breakfast option. read more

This spot was pretty interesting for breakfast or a late night omelet fix. The service was quick and had that classic American diner feel. The food hit those nostalgic notes, bringing back memories of all the classic American comfort dishes. The playlist was packed with seventies and eighties tunes which really added to the vibe. Honestly, I enjoyed the atmosphere more than the food itself. Don't come in expecting a gourmet meal, but definitely grab a milkshake while you are there. It is a must. Overall, it is more about the whole experience than just the food. read more

We have been coming here 4 times during the last month, obviously because we really like it for good food, good services and good price. Compared to other restaurants or diners in Fairfax county, we had the best milk shake so far. Their Reuben sandwich and TLC are really good (bacon is always crunchy each time). Services are always great, super friendly and attentive and so is the ambiance with good 50s music read more

On this Sunday afternoon I was greeted at the door, order taken immediately. Both the music (pop, rock, R&B, and country) and decor is early '60s. Ordered patty melt with provolone and fries. Server apologized for bringing it with cheddar and began to set it in front of me. I asked her to change it, which she did. Waited for about 5 min and she returned with burger. Side of spinach was bland and unseasoned, but I needed my veggie serving, so I ate them. Good single patty with double cheese. Fries were good, too. Section where I sat was empty, surprised my server only checked on me once in 15 min. I had to wave her down that I needed more water. Will probably go to another diner next time. read more

It has been many years since I've had the time to stop by Jukebox Diner, and I am glad to see that it is as warm and welcoming as it ever was. Some restaurants make you feel almost like you are a burden for them, but not here. Every member of the staff is friendly, providing the neighborhood atmosphere that has been lost somehow in the age of big chain restaurants. Jukebox has the classic diner decor and an expansive menu spanning from all day American breakfast to sandwiches to burgers to dinner platters, with even some international dishes here and there. Prices post-COVID have skyrocketed at many restaurants, but Jukebox has somehow kept the increases (if any) reasonable. My recommendation is that you share some of that savings from eating at other establishments with the server...to keep this local business running for many more years to come! On this visit, I ordered the Graceland Breakast Combo. It was the perfect option for me as I was both hungry and indecisive...so, many options in one :-). The scrambled eggs (mixed with cheese on request) were better than many places as they were packed with flavor (a sign of using quality eggs) without milk filler to artificially fluff them up. The meats were all top notch...although their bacon is not quite the "Goldilocks Bacon" that I seek at Breakfast spots, it was pretty solid...more crunchy than chewy. The pancakes and French Toast were also solid and filling...like grandma used to make. I will definitely be returning soon...even if just for a cup of coffee or something, it's nice to go somewhere where you are made to feel at home. read more

Onion rings were great not over breaded not greasy. Tuna melt was good - not the best I've ever had but definitely good. I would order it again. My other half had baked spaghetti, which he enjoyed and a cup of chili which he really liked. So it was a good experience. Service was attentive , but not overbearing. It has a fun 50s Diner motif with heavy emphasis on Elvis. It also was very very reasonably priced. read more

Food we chose was great. Menu was full of very reasonably priced classic diner fare, including all day breakfast. All orders were at least as good as expected. My chicken Florentine was flavorful and nicely plated. Reuben was spot on. Their fries are nicely crisp. We​ arrived about 8:30 and had the venue to ourselves so food arrived quickly. Ambience was standard diner - a bit of neon, bar and stools across the front, some memorabilia and curios over the front area, 50s murals of Elvis, 50s Chevy, diner. Venue is freestanding near a major Annandale intersection - made it really easy to find. read more

Food quality could improve, food is bland not tasty. I ordered a burrito breakfast with hash browns, burrito was not tasteless, veggies inside were not sautéed, minimal filling inside burrito, hash browns were tasteless, not sautéed enough! read more

If there was a zero I would give it a zero. Went in for breakfast on Sunday 4/13/25 and was told they could only do scrambled eggs due to The delivery not there yet . That means they were serving powdered eggs or eggs in a bag like you would see on a Buffet . Sorry Giant food store is two block's away, go buy some eggs there. Also noticed a waiter smoking right in front of the building and did not see him wash his hands after , very disappointed. read more

My husband and I live in Annandale and pass by this diner often. We always say we are going to stop by and finally, we did. We both enjoy a good throwback diner and Juke Box fits that theme to a tee. The staff are super friendly and you can tell within moments, there is a return crowd dedicated to this diner. We came by on a Sunday for an early dinner and milkshakes and they did not disappoint. The chocolate milkshake and root beer float (brown cow), were both really tasty. We ordered the hummus platter to start and then two different burgers for entrees. I ordered the Egg and Burger with a fried egg on top and it was really freakin' good. My husband ordered the Mighty Joe burger and he said it was great. I would definitely come back for the good food and friendly company. Thanks! :-) read more

Come to Annandale all the time, but have never made the time to stop here for breakfast. Finally decided to come on a Saturday morning and got seated immediately. Wait staff was super nice. Got the Country Fried Steak w/ Eggs and was exactly what you would expect from a classic diner. Food was good, and would be happy to try other dishes. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars for me, was the the restaurant was a bit dirty. Part of it maybe was the fact I just missed the morning rush? But there was plenty of trash/dishes laying around and parts of the ceiling seemed to be barely hanging on. However the food was great, and would probably come back again. read more

Came here on a random weekend and wasn't disappointed. The wait staff was nice, I didn't have to wait to get a seat, and it was a nice experience.

This place has really nice decor! A classic diner aesthetic is always welcome. The menu has a lot of variety and is full of tasty classics. I got a spinach and mushroom omelet and really enjoyed it.

Very good food but service lacking. Inattentive staff. More interested in playing on their phones than serving customers. I have eaten here for years but in the last 2vweeks I have been there 4 times. Each time an issue. Wrong amount on check. Incorrect order and incorrect change when paying bill. And most if all server asking if in need change on a $13.00 bill when I give him a $20.00 bill. read more

Context: Stopped by because I was craving breakfast at 5pm on a Sunday before my 12hr overnight shift. Its not a dinner place to my understanding so it was understandably basically empty, only 2 other tables being served. Since the place was quiet, service was amazing. They got my food out to me pronto. Got a savory crepe and a double shot of espresso. The crepe was ok, better than anything I could make at home, but I'm from New England so I've got high standards. The espresso was strong and bitter, just how I like it. Best part is I got out of there under $20 (before tip of course). Which in the DMV is almost unheard of. I'll definitely come back the next time I'm craving breakfast before my Sunday shift, though I'll probably try one of the breakfast sandwiches instead. And even more coffee. read more

What happened to the Juke Box Diner in Annandale? My wife and I have been loyal customers for just about 30 years. We would have breakfast in the diner and order delivery for dinner. The staff would even know our order or our favorite table as we walked in the door. The service and food WAS fantastic. The service was great, as Janet has always been. We went this morning for breakfast and boy am I sorry. I felt really bad telling Janet the food was awful, and I had to send it back. The coffee tasked like cheap hotel coffee; it was undrinkable. The Belgen Waffle was just nasty. The task was, well brand X. The butter was very yellow, low quality. The syrup tasted like colored sugar water. The jelly packets on the table were an unknown brand. If you look at the ingredients, there is nothing natural in them. read more

Very friendly service and affordable too! If you want old school great service, all American diner ambiance and yummy classics such as the "Patty Melt" which you hardly see on menus anymore, this is your spot!! Did I mention affordable too? I just realized it cheaper for me to eat here than do groceries nowadays!! read more

Food here is good. Nothing to write home about, but pretty consistent. But the best reason to go is Sean! He's the nicest server. Always tops up your coffee, cheerful, and remembers you. If you have a preference for your coffee or food, he remembers. When we walk in, he has the coffee ready and a huge smile. I feel like this is what the diner experience is all about. You don't really go for the food. You go because they treat you like family, chat to you like a person, and provide solid service. Ask for his section and you won't be disappointed! read more

The food was very good very fresh. I highly recommend this place. You won't be disappointed.

Short and sweet: This is good, standard diner food. We all enjoyed our meal and thought the pricing was reasonable. Good stuff! read more

Juke Box Diner - Corned beef hash and eggs - Diners Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

J is for Juke Box Diner: I had been to Juke Box twice. Once in 2015 or 16 and then again on Sunday, August 1. My Sunday was kind of up in the air, and I was feeling antsy and suggested to my friend to meet for lunch. She threw out Juke Box as an idea, and I was sold on that as I vaguely remembering liking it about 5 years earlier. Our server was relatively new. She wasn't the most efficient, but she was very kind and wanted to help us with our orders; so she was a positive addition. Remembering another diner in northern VA, going Greek often a good strategy. I went with the gyro with fries. The fries were the right amount of crisp and delicious being superior to the gyro, which was solid. My only compliant about the gyro was that it was a little small. The value wasn't great for what I got; I think it might've been $12 or so. We ended up spending like 6.5 hours there as a couple of other friends joined us for games! She kept coming around to see how we were doing and water refills, which I appreciated. We tipped well, and I would consider Juke Box a good viable option. My K review will also be a diner, where I got a gyro. read more
