Classic diner experience. Menu is pretty deep... you're sure to find a favorite. Prices are reasonable, and the food was delicious, cooked exactly to order. It may seem silly, but I was glad they took our orders with pencil and paper... seemed like they have more time to listen when they're not chasing buttons. They don't need whiz-bang technology to deliver a stellar experience. We're definitely going back. read more

It's been a long time since I ate at Juke Box Diner but popped in there recently. The good--the space was clean, bright, and our server was great. My son completely enjoyed his chicken tenders and fries, though to me the tenders looked more like nuggets in terms of size. I had the patty melt, which was the bad. The bread was buttered and grilled perfectly. However, the patty itself was a tad overcooked and dry for me. The onions were lightly sauteed but mostly still holding their form--I usually expect them to be much softer if not caramelized. The worst part was the lack of cheese. In the past I've had it w/ either swiss or provolone. This one had some shredded cheddar, I think, but it was hard to tell since there was so little of it and it wasn't even completely melted. It's right there in the name! If I wasn't already hangry I wouldn't have finished it. It was one of those situations where it left me craving a real patty melt as this one didn't hit the spot or satisfy that craving. I wouldn't go back for a melt again but I'd go back again as previous experiences have also been positive and the food better than this last go. read more

What Happened? A year ago, I wrote a rave review for the Juke Box Diner - today 6/10/24, not so much. The service at this family-owned diner was as friendly and jovial as ever but the food was forgettable. The hash browns were mildly warm, even when sent back once. The toast on both our BLTs were burned, although the bacon, lettuce and tomato were good. My husband had to chase a waiter into the kitchen for mayonnaise for my daughter's burger, which she did say was good. Her "side salad" was huge but tasteless. The only really good things in our meal were the homemade chicken and rice soup and the absolutely amazing brownie hot fudge sundaes loaded with whipped cream and a cherry. So - if you want to eat somewhere else and come here for a fabulous dessert - this is the place! Forget eating here, though - it's changed - and not for the better! read more

I ate here a lot when I was a kid always good memories of The service , Vibe , and the food!!!

This diner does everything pretty well. The burgers I've had are delicious and so is the breakfast. The milkshakes are really good too! Service is always friendly and they honor the yelp check in offer of $5 off $20 which is nice. Parking is plentiful which is also a plus. I'll be back soon! read more

Juke Box Diner - Corned Beef Hash and two eggs on a roll - Diners Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

I've been coming here for over ten years. I've had many good memories and happy occasions here but today is sadly not one of them. I went in today with a friend and the food was just not good. I ordered a Bacon Cheddar Burger medium and what I got was a very rare burger with what looked like sprinkled cheese from a bag. My friend ordered burger with mushrooms and everything else's and his came out wrong too. But the thing that really got me was they made us pay before we got our food. I just asked my friend if he liked his food and he said "honestly no". I use to love going to jukebox but from now on I will think twice before I go or recommend anyone going here. read more

Juke Box Diner - Bacon Cheddar Burger - Diners Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

This is the place to go if you want a traditional American diner. Food was great and the service was even better. It's rare to find a restaurant with good service these days but this place has it. Waiters anticipate your needs and are constantly coming by. It was our first time there but the waiters seemed to know the other folks and had conversations with them like they were long-time patrons. It has a very comfortable/home-y and family orientated ambiance. We'll definitely be going again soon. read more

I ordered French toast and whatever comes with it. I ONLY GOT FRENCH TOAST. I should've check the order there but based on the reviews I shouldn't worry. I was wrong. It's okay I'll give it another try. Someday. read more

Stopped in with my spouse as first time customers on a Friday around 5 pm. We were seated right away. The restaurant was not too busy yet. We ordered breakfast dishes for dinner. I had a baconator omelette with grits and a biscuit, and my spouse had a waffle. All delicious. Perfect sized portions. We ordered Nutella and banana crapes for dessert. Also delicious. The service was terrific. The vibe was nice. The people who work there seem to be happy and the customers seemed happy. We will definitely go back. The only thing I would ask for is that the music playing on the overhead speakers be turned down just a notch or two. read more

1/1/20 Wow, it is this the very first day of the new year and we are greeted with a less than satisfactory experience.  My wife wanted to go to this place because of the choices you can add into your waffles or pancakes.   Upon entering the restaurant my wife said she did not get a hello or a happy new year. Instead she received a "I'll be right with you."  I wasn't inside the restaurant yet, because I was attending to my vichele. The manager who had a deep voice pointed his new server to the table we would be sitting at. Julie ended up beeing our server and repeated our order back to us to make sure it was right. Traits of a great server in the making. While this was all good, the food that came out was not. I don't know how long the food had been sitting on the kitchen table, but the blueberry waffles were beyond lukewarm.  The turkey sasuage and turkey bacon were cold.   My wife's food was just as bad in regards to it being cold. The flavor of the waffles were good, but it would have been better hot...like it is meant to be I might add. Julie checked on us periodically to make everything is alright. I debated on telling her how the food really was, but had a feeling management wouldn't care or do anything.  This was brought home to me when I tried to use the $5 dollar off coupon from Yelp. I was told the owner will not honor them on a holiday.    Well this coupon is only good for wiping one's ass and flushing it down the toilet. However, seeing how it's a coupon for a smartphone, I don't recommend doing this. Speaking of toilets, the men's bathroom looks fine until you look at the floor near the urinal and toilet  sides. Golden crusted piss among other things are on the floor and this says bad cleaning habits because the grim has been on the floor for a while. My wife found these photos appalling and refused to go to the ladies room. She says we will not return here after what she saw and what we experienced.  Only Julie get a four star out of this experience. Said to say it, The men's bathroom,  the cold breakfast, the not honoring $5.00 off from Yelp and the no hello greet or thank you for stopping  by... wait, Julie did say thank you for stopping by...can't do a half star on Yelp yet. Oh well count it as a whole star for no arrival greeting. This is sadly a one star review.  I really didn't think this place would get this status. Thank you Julie, I hope your training here goes well for you. Take care. , read more

Really quick, good on 2 take out orders we did! The breakfast egg sandwich was really good. Served hot and on a soft hoagie like bun. Huge! Did lunch as well. Meatball sub and fries were good. The burger was good. Prices were pretty reasonable as well. read more

poor service. The menu describes certain things that didnt come with the meal. Then the cook came out and argued with 77 year old grandmother about if fries came with the shrimp basket. delicious rueben sandwich. Fries with it were ok. The chips are ok. The nachos are like the movie ones with runny chili. if the menu is wrong use a black marker and strike through the item. the bathroom and floors are sticky. This is a diner and decor is unique and could be fun if they would use a swiffer and replace broken items in ladies room. Not recommended read more

Deliciousness - 2.5/5 Happiness - 3.5/5 So this gets a bit of a nostalgia boost from me. I grew up a few blocks from Juke Box and have fond memories of it being a fantastic place for seeing classic cars, getting a milkshake, and having an affordable high school date. For better or worse... all of that remains true. The menu is huge and varied, very reminiscent of the cheesecake factory. The seating is also plentiful, meaning even the Sunday brunch crowd doesn't prevent you from getting a quick seat. The food is very, very standard diner fare. We got a pancake dish, a gyro, and an egg dish and all of it needed hot sauce to spice things up. The french fries did not seem fresh at all. That said, the meal was filling and you got a lot of food for your dime. The servers were friendly but extraordinarily slow. We told our server upfront we needed to rush as we had to pick up our son, and it still took a lot of effort to wave him over for water, a box, and the check. We forgot to order a shake because there was no dessert menu at our table. Indeed, we looked around and saw the shake menu only sporadically placed at random tables. The front of the house is cute, decked out in chrome and old fashioned booth. But some of the mystique has been lost as the place now only has one giant, modern, digital juke box. I'd still recommend this place for a high school date, or if they still do classic car nights. But otherwise, it's probably not worth the visit. read more

Good falafel and pretty good hummus. I got a gyro with fries and my friend had the fish sandwich. Both were good. The staff is friendly and pleasant. Our waitress made a mistake with our order but then fixed it without any difficulty, explained what had happened, and apologized. Everyone makes mistakes but handling it well speaks volumes about a person as well as the atmosphere of an establishment. My friend and I sat and chatted for a while. If you do plan to sit and chat I recommend getting some extra fries because those are very taste fries. This time I enjoyed fries with the tzatziki sauce but I have had then with cheese and chili previously and thoroughly those as well. read more

I was verbally assaulted by someone who identified himself as manager. I went in by myself this Sunday 04/14/24 for lunch,I have been in this place many times,I usually sit at the "bar" area or in a small corner table when I go by myself ,Today I did the same,someone greeted me with a smile and I was waiting for a few minutes until I was approached by a very loud middle age individual wearing a mustache.He started by questioning me and telling me that I supposed to wait for someone to seat me,Again this subject was being very aggressive and loud with me in front of other guests,it was very embarrassing,I told him all I need is a menu which made him angrier,I asked him to speak to a manager to which he responded "I'm the manager"!,He refused to serve me,kicking me out of the establishment.I have never experienced something like this in my life,much less in a restaurant,I don't understand how such an aggressive person can be employed in a line of work where customer service and kindness come first. I hope they can do something about it for the good and safety of customers and also employees. read more

I loved the decorations and the service was great, and the food was very good, especially the Skillets, can't recommend them more. I am a huge fan of all kinds of music, especially the 1960's-1970's. It was a treat to hear some 1950's and present day mixed together. I am also always on the lookout for a new "Silver Diner" so I was pretty pleased with the experience. read more

Well, I wrote a review about their "fried chicken sandwich" a week ago when I got 4 measly chicken nuggets instead of fried chicken in the sandwich. Since hope springs eternal and I'm a sucker, I ordered it again (via grubhub this time). Here is what their menu says: "Battered and fried chicken breast on a brioche bun with lettuce, tomatoes, and mayo or spicy ranch." I guess the good news is I didn't get nuggets this time I got 4 chicken strips. Not sure what is going on with their kitchen, their chef, or this place in general, but I'm out. I'll go to chick-fil-A or some other place where "fried chicken breast" is what I'll get. This is crazy, but I'm sure they will survive without my business. read more

Okay so to start off I really usually enjoy their food so I'm open to updating this review if they can actually let go one of their employees, Maria I believe her name is, older lady with glasses whom is rude and impolite. I ordered my regular order which is 2 chicken souvalki and today we decided to get a slice of cheesecake for once! (Which is almost $7) and she cut the tiniest slice ever. *see attached * the cherry ton top of this experience was that I called in the order *cause carryout only* and she had the audacity to ask if I "what tip do you want to put on the card?" And when I said Excuse me?? She said again What tip amount do you want to put on the card? And I told her I would not like to tip as of rn * you sign when you pick up* keep in mind this is the same lady who charged my boyfriend $2 for a glass of water. Disappointed tonight, guys. read more

Friendly staff but the food was mediocre. The burger was basically a frozen pattie, eatable but not exceptional.

Somethings fishy about this place. It looks nice, all of the people are nice, the milkshakes are good, but the food... i've never seen round meatloaf, unless it comes out of a can. I guess it could be hand formed, but you're still looking at a 30 minute cook time. You might keep a pan of meatloaf in the oven for orders, like they do at Cracker Barrel.... Also, you don't usually see mac & cheese that orange unless it's out of the box. The whole meal drowned in gravy. Not very flavorful. The place definitely looks the part, and the menu looks amazing, I don't know about the food... Something feels off. read more

Love the ambiance, friendly staff and the Rueben Sandwich is super delicious. Place is clean and staff is polite and helpful. Shawn is always there with a friendly smile and a recommendation for what's good on the menu...thus trying the Rueben. It is a great place just for a fun lunch out. prices are about what you'd expect from a diner and we have been satisfied with each visit. And they have lots of outdoor seating so we have bought our pups before and they are immediately given water by the waitress. We really enjoy going here and if we choose not to share a plate I always have 1/2 sandwich to take home. read more

Ordered eggs benedict and the eggs had a distinct smell to them, somewhere between vinegar and wet dog. i tried one and it taste like the egg had gone bad. I could not eat more than one bite. I had my boyfriend try and he agreed the eggs tasted off. I ate the hash browns then informed the waitress of the issue and told her they were inedible. She still had charged us for the uneaten food, so I asked her to remove it from the bill. After she consulted w the manager she said she'd give us 50% off my meal since I ate the hash browns. I said why not just charge for a side of hash browns, and was promptly ignored. Poorly managed restaurants that seems unconcerned with serving rotten food. read more

Take a trip back in time with the Jukebox Diner to a time when diners were king, food was prepared with quality and pride without the outrageous costs of today. This place is stunning from start to finish. My wife and I ordered the Graceland off their all day breakfast menu with our server Ms. Janet who was just as sweet as the tea she was serving us (homemade by the way). Pancakes and French toast literally as good if not better than my own grandma used to make (sorry Grandma but it's true)! Every one of their meats (bacon, sausage and ham) were cooked perfectly not over seasoned at all. Even the eggs just flat out tasted better than any I've had in recent memory. This was my first time visiting and I'm already planning my next trip. You gotta check this place out for yourself. read more

Don't get the hot dogs please. I beg you. The buns tasted like they were wiped on the floor and found 2 days later outside when they ran out of buns and found one in the dumpster. The meat was regular and the fries were crispy and delicious. Oh I forgot. I recommend the server to use some head and shoulders. Yea.. if you come here get breakfast please. read more

First time visiting here. It's really great, family owned, local, and well-maintained place! Most diners are pretty grimy but this place was VERY clean. Everything was reasonably/fairly priced and delicious. Our server was Emily, the owner's daughter, and she provided excellent service with the type of casual/familial attitude that made us feel like we were regulars! We will definitely be coming back every Sunday after church!!! read more

Seems like Jukebox Diner has really gone downhill lately? I have been a loyal customer for 25 years ... even during the pandemic .. lots of family meals, brunches etc . It seems in the last 2-3 months that service and food have sharply declined. I was there tonight for dinner and the fries were cold and sandwich I ordered was so greasy that I just put some money on the counter and walked out! Has there maybe been a change in ownership? I hope not.. management in the past has been excellent. read more

The power went out in the neighborhoods close to Juke Box Diner, so according to JBD Manager, Ash, it had been a busy night. My late evening visit after the huge crowd wasn't affected one bit. Since my son wasn't able to make it over with me, I ordered the four chicken tender appetizer. I tried one as the tenders were done in a light egg and flour wash, avoiding the bread crumbs. It is a nice touch as the tenders came out light, tasting wonderful. I had the Thursday night special - hand carved turkey dinner with sage gravy, mashed potatoes, broccoli, cranberry sauce, and a light stuffing under the turkey. The turkey tasted very natural (without sodium as some restaurants are apt to add to their turkey). I found out later from Ash that the turkey is all natural, no hormones/antibiotics, etc. The stuffing had delicious, crunchy bits of celery and onion, giving it a home made feel. Add in a nice salad on the side from my server Diane, and I was glad I headed out to have a feast of a meal. When the lights go down, the Juke Box Diner shines very bright. The family operated JBD will be my go to restaurant for home cooked style meals. Support family owned businesses! read more

We didn't want to pay the high prices of Korean BBQ in the area, so we thought we'd try out the diner since it was close to where we were hanging out in Annandale. It's in an unassuming parking lot between Columbia Pike and Little River Turnpike. We were some of the only customers there, and we were seated far away and were rarely attended on. I don't remember what our group of 4 really ordered, but it wasn't very good and not worth the cost. The only thing I remember about our order was that I asked for a side of broccoli, and I was brought 3 pieces. Just 3. Next time if we really want diner food, we'll drive the extra 15 minutes down Little River Turnpike to the IHOP. read more

Always great food, Jukebox is the best diner in the area, nothing even compares. We go all the time

When I go to a diner, I expect it to be greasy, cheap, with lots of options, and great service. Jukebox Diner has all four of those things - including one of the best little burgers I've had in quite a while (the Egg'n'Burger, I think it's called). The fries are those thick, battered type, and the portions are generous. When you walk in, it's a small, simple diner, with the tattered menu pages sticking together. The decor looks like a contractor's vision of a 50s diner, had he built it in 1982. You can order any type of breakfast, lunch, dinner, or what have you. The menu is (rightly) alcohol-free. Instead of the standard tabletop canister for sugar (for your coffee), you get an old pepsi bottle with a spout. The waitress brought us plenty of napkins, and brought out our food super-quick. God damn it, this is how a diner's supposed to be: small, efficient, and a little grimy. These places are referred to as greasy spoons, aren't they? I want places like this - a little local place, between a gas station and a K-Mart. I want the old crappy red diner cups stacked with too much ice. I want the little undersized coffee cups with endless refills. I want that little lazy susan on the table. I want a young high school kid as my waitress, while the table next to me gets a grandma, and the owner, probably the grandfather of our waitress (and wife of our neighbor's), walking around, making sure everybody's happy. If I really have to find a gripe, it's that it's not open 24 hours, but so what? It's open pretty late as it is (11pm, most nights, I think). This is how you do a diner. Good job, Jukebox Diner. I'll be back. read more

The perfect old timey feel with the best service I've had in years! The ambiance was perfect and the service was so amazing.

The price is right... best diner around! read more

Stopped in for breakfast while waiting for some car work to be done. I was VERY hungry, and this place did not disappoint with the portion size. I ordered the country fried steak and eggs (scrambled) and the taste was pretty good for a greasy spoon type of place. What I was really appreciative of was that the didn't go overboard on the 50's tchochkes. It wouldn't be hard to, but they kept it simple and instead focus on what's important friendly service, fast. I was going to give 3 stars, but the service pushed it to 4. read more
