Jackson Diner

Picture # 1 is a meal that was ordered medium rare. It was burnt and charcoal. George, the owner said they would provide a replacement, Picture #2 was a replacment also burnt. When requested by me to speak to him, he refused saying he did not need the job and would quit. This was a bizarre manner of dealing with a reasonable request by a patron. We will no longer patronize this establishment.

I took my mom here today for the first time and had a wonderful time. The decor in there is gorgeous, and the food is absolutely delicious. The prices are fair too! Our waitress was super sweet and made sure that we were well taken care of. I will definitely be taking my mom here more often.

Greeted at the door. Table ready immediately. Server greeted us shortly after being seated and took drink order. Placed our drinks, we ordered our food. Food was brought to our table very fast. Portion was great, food was great. Server checked in during the meal. Would recommend to anyone. Paid cash, could have paid with card for a small difference in price.

Good food, good service. Owner was very kind to our granddaughters. He let them sit at the counter with him and asked staff to prepare a milkshake for them on the house. Everyone on staff was cheerful and kind. Nice retro themed diner. One and only complaint is that our waitress did not check back to see if we needed refills.

Unprofessional and Inappropriate Behavior I visited Jackson Diner in Jackson, NJ with my family, and we had an incredibly uncomfortable experience. My mother politely asked for a side of bacon with her meal. The waitress, Kimberly, responded with, “Would you like it on the left or right side?” My mom, confused, said “the left,” to which Kimberly replied, “It has to be on the right side, not wrong side.” This felt like an unnecessary and inappropriate political reference — completely out of place in a diner setting. We were shocked. It created a very awkward atmosphere and left a bad impression on all of us. This kind of behavior from staff is unprofessional and unacceptable. A diner should be a welcoming place — not one where political innuendos are aimed at customers. We won’t be returning.

I love Cherry Coke and Cherry Pepsi. They have neither so waitress added marichino syrup and cherries to regular Pepsi was delish!

There is nothing like a jersey diner. Visiting from Las Vegas we stopped here for lunch. Great food! We tried a burger, BLT, salad, corned beef, chicken fingers and fries. Delicious. Nobody was disappointed. Fresh ingredients for the BLT and perfectly cook bacon made my sandwich one of the best I've had lately. Thank you for having coke cans available.

Overall, lovely decor, staff, and food. The menu is large and has something for everyone. Unfortunately, we had a bug problem with the food. There were about three aphids on the lettuce garnish. Our waitress was very kind and accommodating about the issue, I assume she passed on the information to the cooks. Regardless of the problem, we ate our food and it was actually pretty amazing. The price point is completely acceptable for the quality of food, just remember to check your veggies.
