Best Double Cheeseburgers around!!! I've been going to the Jug since I was 6 and now never miss going to one of the oldest hamburger stands in the country. at least 5 times a year. read more

Out for a drive today and pulled in here for a quick lunch. Was not disappointed. Sat down and was brought a menu, the young lady brought me a menu extremely quick, I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and a caramel shake. I hardly had time to check in and my drink was out then my food was just about as quick. The place is just an older building with a good sized parking lot. Plastic tables as well. Food was super yummy and the staff was amazing. Thank you for a great Sunday lunch. Worth stopping in if in the area. read more

Seriously over cooked burger , cold waffle fries. Milkshake no longer available?????? May try again,not sure read more

Went bc i wanted ice cream. When I was handed the "menu" it was a folded up piece of paper with no ice cream products to be found. On a positive note, they will come to your car to take your order. I might go back and try something g for lunch, but today I didn't stick around. read more

A fun burger joint to hang out with the family. The service is as quick as the burgers are greasy. Grab some extra napkins!

Menu of burgers, hot dogs, fries, and drinks that's it. They are celebrating 89 years so you know KISS is working for them. Double cheese burger is the most popular, I made mine deluxe. I really like that the onions are diced. I also got the waffle fries, which I would bet a milkshake, were house cut. Waffle fries and burger were individually packaged and delivered in a brown paper bag, old school OG style. There were super CRISP potato pieces at the bottom of the wax bag. Next time I go here, I'm going to request more of them, maybe as a menu addition, waffle crunchers. They come to your car to take the order and pay, then delivered to you faster then most modern fast food place. The gentleman that took my order actually called me by name....shocking, like I was a friend and not just a customer! I'm sure if I start going there more often he will know my order by heart. Fabulous place, might even have to try the "middie burger" next time. read more

The Jug - Menu - Fast Food Near Me - Middletown, Ohio

We love the food here. Their website shows their specials and one of those specials is a bag of 5 burgers for $12. I was told they are no longer doing this. When I pointed out that it is still currently posted, I was told they are deciding what to put on the website. Then I was told that people have faked their website and it shows they are in New Zealand. I showed her the website and she still said they are not offering that anymore that it was a fake site. Terrible customer service IMO. This is their actual website and they are not honoring what they have posted. read more

Our first trip to The Jug was a winner! They are celebrating 90 Years of Great Food and Fun. The husband ordered the 1/2 pound cheeseburger. He said it was very juicy and one of the best smashburger- style sandwiches he's ever had. He did add some extra ketchup since they gave us so many ketchup packets. I had a Double Cheeseburger Deluxe. The tomato tasted like it was garden fresh, worth the deluxe upcharge. I don't usually care for "double" burgers, but smashburgers are the exception to that rule for me. Usually, I omit the cheese, but I tried it here and it added a little sumpthin sumpthin. I couldn't decide between crinkle fries and onion rings,. I finally opted for the rings, since the husband didn't order a side with his huge burger and crinkles aren't his fave. Let me tell you it was a good way to go. They were very hot and crispy, with an excellent crunch. You could taste the thick onion, not just the coating, which is the point of rings for me. We wanted to get a burger for the dog and after much discussion, we ended up ordering the a kids meal. That way, I could try the crinkle cut fries and taste their root beer. The fries had deep ridges - yum - and enough saltiness even for me. The dog liked them, too. Let me tell you now - don't order any soft drink but the root beer. It was creamy and delicious, just the way root beer should taste. The only thing that would improve on it is if it was served in a frosted glass. Damn, I wish more places still did that, it's a treat. We shared a chocolate milkshake. It was so thick it would hardly climb up the straw. The husband used the spoon and skimmed off all of the whipped cream as per our marital agreement. I don't care for it that much, so he is the designated whipped cream skimmer in this relationship. The shake was very tick, very cold, and very refreshing. The Shake retained its thickness and did not get soupy before we could drink it. The chocolate flavor was perfect. Yummy! Overall, our meal was very satisfying. There were no duds at all. Good thing it takes way over an hour to get to The Jug, because our diets would be foiled, but we will return! read more

Love this place been a family classic since my grandma and grandpa were kids. The food has always been kinda bland but in an instance like this it isn't about flavor it's about roots not many places can duplicate that. Root beer omg it's good tho read more

I recommend this restaurant to anyone in the Middletown area. It has been in Middletown for more than 60 years and a great experience for someone looking for nostalgia or something different during the summer months. Many, many customers love the food here, so you may, too. Unfortunately, I am not one of these people. The hamburger buns are WAY too fluffy! read more

Not a bad place but it has changed since Covid or maybe the new owners. The nostalgia of going there changed, no frozen mugs for root beer and everything's in good bags. I still will recommend it, simply isn't what it used to be.. read more

While my husband and I were in Middletown visiting family and this place caught my husband eye so we stopped on our way home. Let's just say this stop was well worth the visit. This is a family owned business and the owner took our order and was extremely personable. So, If your looking for a good homemade burger and don't want to get out the car to place your order, this is the place. They come to your car to take your order and the food comes out nice and hot. The burger was extremely juicy and filling. The waffle fries were also delicious and had just the right crispiness to them. read more

Service here is hit or miss. The food is good for the most part. I usually walk there and take my dog. He gets a pup treat and that's cool!

Awesome chili dog and western burger!! The onion rings are the funky monkey! Just the right amount of onions on the dog!

Disgusting waited 45 minutes burger was burnt gave to my dogs they didn't even finish it.

This was a great experience when I went. They had an outdoor eating area next to some shade on the days that it gets a little warm. The food was definitely enjoyable and I was not disappointed. It reminded me of my old favorite shack that I use to go to growing up. read more

How did I manage to live near Middletown for several years and not even know of this place. This is a legit original smashed burger joint from the 1930's tucked away on a back street, still serving cheap, well made smash burgers, onion rings and milk shakes. They still have car hop service, as well as a smattering of picnic tables. Come enjoy the burgers the way your great grandparents did. Well worth the drive from Cincinnati or Dayton. read more

What an excellent old fashioned find! This car hop offered fast friendly curbside service and the food was amazing and priced well! I'll be back, that's for sure! read more

Who doesn't like a cheeseburger, waffle fries, and an ice cream treat? This classic Middletown drive in offers a small town feel with a big taste. Be prepared to either take your food to go, eat it in your car on site, or grab a picnic bench (if one is open). It's a great place to grab a quick and delicious burger from a locally owned business! read more

I had a hamburger and fries and onion rings The grease was old. You could taste it in the fried food. The Burger was good. I don't think I would eat there again. Everybody raved over how great it was when I moved in Middletown after trying it I didn't like it. read more

Service was quick but food was not good. Hamburger could have used another min or two on the flattop. Hot dog was old and dried out. We got to the jug 1 hour after open so this dog was definitely leftover for the day before. read more

I have tried to eat at the jug two different times. Waited and waited no one came to the car.

They have the best foot long hotdogs and the best root beer their is so I recommend you try it

The Jug - Onion rings - Fast Food Near Me - Middletown, Ohio

Food was terrible, burgers burnt and tasted of old grease. No ice cream for root beer floats . Service was poor.

Sort of like McDonalds but much better. Food is much better quality and better portions. Shakes are nice and thick.

Honestly, didn't know what I expected when I got there. However, I was blown away. I got a spicy burger, fried chicken sandwich, and waffle fries. The buns were soft and sweet, the burgers were juicy with crispy edges, the chicken was crunchy with moist meat, and it all paired some of the best waffles fries I've ever had. I'm not giving 5 stars because I ate in my car so I'm not sure how the dining experience would be but this place rocks! Really looking forward to my next chance to come back, especially given the price to quality ratio of my meal! read more

This is a great little local spot. We love the drive-in atmosphere and the friendly service. Hands down best corn dogs around!! The onion rings are great and so is the root beer. Service can be slow, even though the girls are working hard. With the drive-in restaurant atmosphere, it can sometimes take a minute to get noticed if arriving during a busy tome. The first couple days of the season are crazy here!! We always look forward to their opening, but tend to wait a few days so we can get in the parking lot. Unfortunately, their season is short here. They open in May and tend to close in July or August. Definitely stop in if you're in the area!! read more

Great burgers and shakes. One of the better local drive in spots around the area. Highly recommend

If you're looking for a good small town, greasy burger and some waffle fries, this place is what you may be looking for. In addition, they have shakes and chili dogs which I have yet to try. read more

The saddest day of the year is the day The Jug closes for the winter. I defy you to find a better burger or better milk shake. The Jug is a neighborhood gathering place that puts you in mind of the burger stands of yesteryear. Neighbors get to know one another sitting at the picnic tables or at the bar inside. The order ahead option is much appreciated as it can get VERY busy here--but if you have the time sit down, order one of their fab burgers and get to know Middletown just a little bit better. read more

Disappointed with service today! Started with no one coming to the car to take our order so I called the order in by phone. Our male server wasn't friendly. We actually had 2 servers come to the car after I called in the order to ask us about drinks and deliver the drinks. When the food finally came, the server was just going to give it to us. When we paid him he said "thanks for the tip"! $15 tip! The service today was a comedy of errors but the food was very tasty, hot and accurate as ordered. We will go back because the food is good, but hope the service is better! read more

Just ordered the double cheeseburger--shockingly good. I wasn't prepared to eat a hamburger straight from my childhood. The Jug is a true drive-in diner and the food tastes like the good ole days. Keep an eye out for this on the food channel. At this rate, The Jug will be an American classic--worth exiting off the highway for. 5/5. Boom. read more

I've hated the job for over 30 years but lately the food has not been that great you too I guess you were management change

Best old style restaurant around. I love the carhop service and everyone is extremely friendly and fast. Try their onion rings, they are phenomenal. They also make the best burgers in Middletown! read more
