Reviews of Jukebox Diner

T. D.

What a great place 😊 friendly service and great food, good value for money. They also did a little special treat for my son's birthday 🤩🤩 Will definitely visit again.

J. J.

Nice food, friendly staff, just wish the entry to the museum was cheaper - especially after spending $$$ in the cafe (2x drinks, main, and desert, per person).

A. F.

Really enjoyed visiting here for the first time. Kid's learnt a bit seeing a jukebox, hearing rock n roll and some of the displays. We'll definitely visit again.

A. S.

Old classics American diner. The old classics car museum is just next door to the diner so worth a day trip. Pancakes and chicken, waffles and chicken is what we ordered. The burgers looked really good as well.

S. O.

What a neat experience. Thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere here, 50s immersion! I took my wife and my youngest today, lovely and attentive staff, especially during this delicate time we are in. Fantastic food, we ordered a breakfast burrito and Jukebox benny, with coffee and gold old Foxton Fizz Looks - the food was wonderful, very well prepared and presented. Definitely excited to head back, there are items on the menu in eager to try! Will take my 2 older girls there so they can experience what we did. Stellar job team at the Jukebox Diner! See you soon!

J. P.

Awesome experience. Went on a date with my niece who got the kids pancakes and myself the adults version. She thoroughly enjoyed her meal and the kids activities they have available. The vintage gumball dispenser was a particular highlight for her. Great, friendly customer service too! Definitely a family friendly place, highly recommend.

W. E.

Nice food, burger could have been a little warmer but was just OK.

F. A.

A good authentic restaurant (or dining). Even if you do not visit the museum, definitely worth it. Very good food and even very good breakfast. If you will be sure to have a table, you can camp overnight at their car park ;-) Self-containing campers are allowed to stay overnight there. We have visited this restaurant several times.

R. S.

Having experienced American Diners before, I was keen to enjoy the experience right here on Hamilton. The staff seemed sad and unenthusiastic and the food was underwhelming. There is so much potential here, maybe a slight injection of some fun and enthusiasm? Prices are good though...

T. S.

Went here yesterday with a decent sized group. Place was also pretty busy at the time. Thought there might be a long wait for the food but it all came out at such a great pace. And its was so yummy ! I had the chicken burger, partner had a toasted sandwich with extras and kids also had a toastie. There was so much cheese ! It was great. We also got caramel banana shakes and they were delicious aswel (abit small for price, but yum). Was also happy to see a kids area, which was also grea.Would deffinitly visit again!

G. S.

It was nice place overall. I went there first time and I really like the interior of the cafe. It was colorful and the place was very clean. I will definitely go there again.

A. V. D. M.

Excellent food! Museum is a must visit!

A.

Lovely food and staff were really friendly

R. K.

Had a very nice roast lunch here, Wednesday 21 July 2021 with a group of 60's plus people from Glenfield, North Shore, Auckland. Staff were friendly and happy. A good atmosphere prevailed in nice surrounding. Can recommend to all.

A. P.

My first visit to this diner was pretty good. Interesting interior and good customer service. Enjoyed the coffee and slice. Going back to this place again to try the food.

R. M.

Foods pretty standard, we shared a beef burger and had a side of onion rings. It's not bad by any means, it's also just not anything I'd ever talk about. Drinks we had milkshakes, we had to go back two times to get enough flavour, otherwise you just couldn't taste it. The service was good despite how busy it was when we arrived. The place itself is the redeeming factor, if you love rockabilly and classic cars, this is why you would come here.

K. B.

Went in today with a group of 5 and wow super delish and priced competitively. Would highly recommend - wish I could post our photos. Venue was right out of Grease - excellent service, fabulous food, and great atmosphere.

S. C.

A little disappointing. Upgraded our milkshakes to thickshakes... and they were still milkshakes. Flavour was OK. Hamburgers were excellent, but expensive. Decor was great, however when you compare this place to Viv's Kitchen in Sanson (Ohakea), this place has huge potential. Especially with the fantastic museum within it.

D. H.

Pretty disappointed to be waiting an hour at least for our meals, for 4 adults and 2 littlies. Gave up and asked for a refund after watching plates of meals coming out of the kitchen to serve a group who had just arrived. One of our group ended up asking for a cloth to wipe down our table, then she proceeded to go around wiping other tables, while we waited and waited. Maybe it would have made a difference if we were told we may have a long wait? PS. Thank you for the response. Yes we gathered that they had booked ahead. It's just unfortunate that we couldn't wait any longer and had to leave to head to another event. However, this will not deter me, personally, from coming back. Jukebox Diner is still one of my favourite eating spots in Hamilton! !

G. H.

Great trip down memory lane and then refreshments to finish off a great morning.Thank you for making this available, truely amazing.

J.

Be prepared to spend money but you get a good meal.

J. T.

Brilliant place, such a cute way to start the day. Lovely staff

S. B.

Great diner style food, great armosphere, great folks, cool cars.

G.

Superb food and service. Amazing place full of nostalgia. Highly recommended.

T. G.

Beautiful place, lovely people, delicious food! The museum is amazing!

R. A.

Very cool cafe! great kid’s area for under 3 year olds

h.

Excellent food and atmosphere differently will go back .

K.

Nice quiet, super friendly staff and delicious food.

N. P.

Wait time was long. The food looks great and the kids good tasted great but the cabinet food was appealing until you received it. The chicken and bacon filo was microwaved till soggy and it barely had chicken or bacon and mainly consisted of spinach. Next two we would get a breakfast as it looked like good value for money

P.

Great food, coffee and service.

K. B.

Poor food, ambiance was good ....terrible milkshake, taste like a can of sugar

G. T.

The service was great but the food was below average. I can only speak for what we were served on the day of our visit and we were disappointed with our food. The milkshakes were the only thing that we all agreed upon that were good. Overall it was a good experience with the car museum but if we were to return there we would just order milkshakes.

S. D.

Neat place to eat & visit. Food was good too with a variety. I was quite impressed & didn't even know it existed.

B. H.

Booked a table for 19 today, arrive to ample seating ready and waiting for us all. Our food was fast hot and nothing short of flipping amazing! Customer service was also so amazing. Very friendly and super polite staff. Seriously nothing short of amazing! HIGHLY recommend

J. M.

Great place for a meal , really tasty food and friendly service.

R. M.

Coffee and Classics. Fantastic breakfast for $20. Great museum and the cars are changed around. Worth a visit.

g.

Amazing food. Great place

H. M.

The Jukebox Diner is a hidden gem. Loved every bit of it. The menu is very nice and the inside feels like a diner. Friendly staff and food tasted amazing and had to go 2 days in a row. Meals were done quickly and had no complaints. A place you must visit if going to Hamilton

s.

Fantastic place with great Motorhome parking next door.

G.

Great food, great sixties style atmosphere and the kids loved it.

M. L.

Love the decor and atmosphere of the place. We went for the first time which was on a public holiday and there was the usual public holiday surcharge but even with a reservation, our food did take a long time coming out and we noticed other diners waiting quite a while for their meals as well. May have been understaffed that day. The burgers were awesome! The chicken from the chicken waffles meal was dry. I'm going back again for the burgers and hoping to give back a better review. Would love to make this our regular family dine out place!

N.

Great experience and good food.

E. M.

Go back in time here. Nice collection of old cars.

V. H.

Awesome place! Breakfast food is brilliant. And the classic cocoas are amazing! I wish there were 1950s uniforms and roller skates! Maybe that's what I'll wear next time I'm in Hamilton!

j. g.

Great period set-up, with very nice food, would definitely recommend.

A.

Either you go visit cafe or museum definately you guys will be experience like back to future

P. P.

Kitted out like a 60s US diner this place perfectly fits with the car museum it shares a building with. The food is of a good standard and they serve large portions so you won't go hungry.

S. L.

Yummy food, best coffees, friendly staff , and a play area for my babies, couldnt ask for anything more ! My fav in Hamilton for sure!

S. V.

This place is so cool. Just like in the movies. Checkered floor, red and white boots, fantastic burgers, very nice place to stop and have a bite.

K. P.

Milkshake was average, eggs benne was nice, creamy mushrooms were tasty. Hot chocolate was hot enough for a 2 year old and tasted more like milk than chocolate. Chocolate shake was average. Bathrooms were clean and some staff were happier than others. Over all nothing too exciting to come back to.

J. P.

The Museum was excellent, the food was awesome, my only criticism was there was not one Holden on show , luv the Fords, otherwise a brilliant time was had by all, many thanks to all the staff

D. T.

Pricey, with lacklustre service. I tried pancakes and these were ok, but not great.

S. B.

The Jukebox Diner has heaps of parking. the staff are friendly and helpful. The open hours aren't that long so make sure you get there at least 1 hour before closing to ensure the kitchen is still open. The pricing is OK, and time to get your food is good. The inside of the diner looks really good.

H. B.

Food was great but we waited a long time for it.... And the restaurant was only half full..

A. D.

The burgers were surprisingly delicious. You should definitely visit. Lovely fresh food, not too greasy

C.

Juke Box Diner was fab, there food an milkshakes were to die for, im def going to return many times 😍

N. J.

The Jukebox Diner is exactly what you hope for when you go to an American diner. Steak sandwich was delicious and perfectly cooked with the best onion rings I've ever had. Highly recommend!

j. t.

Had a coffee with a bro I really liked the set up big open area inside and outside a juke box playing old timey music 50s-60s And good coffee and service

W.

Cafe was ok. Busy.

J.

Good food at good price. But the highlite of this place is the classic car museum.

V.

Food took a while, but only cause they had alot to cater for, but the food was absolutely Devine

A. N.

It wasn't bad. The museum is probably cool, but the food was very meh. Not bad, but there's much better food choices around.

K. S.

It’s a novelty, and we were hoping for some good American Diner food. But by American or Kiwi standards, the food and the service were lack luster. None of us finished our meals as we just didn’t enjoy the food.

S. _.

Service and the meal are well made. The burger was excellent in all aspects.

C. L.

What a awesome old school looking place, I would definitely go back. Food and service is good, and I highly recommend going into the car museum which is apart of the diner, so many neat old cars and other bits of motoring memorabilia

E.

Always a great feed lovely atmosphere and fantastic service

A.

This place is great Only possible gripe here is that if you're an American diner you need Heinz ketchup

K. E.

I had to try my first Chili Dog, while my wife had Chili Cheese Fries. I choose the Lime Milkshake and my wife had Hot Cherry Chocolate with cream and mini chunks of chocolate to wash our meals down. An enjoyed lunch, a few more options to try next time. With the waitress’s dressed also in the 50’s style it added to the experience.

T.

Love this place, the food is good. Love the chicken burger but can sometimes. Especially be a bit dry. Maybe a few more items on menu would help too

K. C.

Our lunch was ok but not great. Everything is pre-made so definitely not fresh. Both our meals had 'salad" which was bland, no dressing. Won't be going back in a hurry.

R. S.

Food was tasty but a bit small for what we were expecting. Nice decor and a unique theme. It is also more of a cafe then a diner with you ordering at the counter.

D. L. J. P.

Love the vibe of this place. The food is also good, a memorable experience.

B. S.

Love the theme here, the best diner I’ve ever been to by far! Highly recommend this place to anyone. Definitely coming back here tomorrow 🤗

j. j.

Customer service pretty poor. Unhelpful and unfriendly. A few smiles and common courtesy would go a long way. Food in cabinet good. Food not always covered on counter.

J.

Best loaded fries I've ever eaten

J. J.

Great atmosphere and lovely people. Very popular. Good selection of tasty foods.

M.

Lovely and clean.Food was fresh and big serves of chips. Will be back.

H. S.

It closes too early and the museum was not negotiable on a price reduction despite our large group. Great food and service tho . And wonderful decor.

M. S.

If you're into the 50s great little dinner right here in frankton...serving usual fare while listening to elvis in the background

M. B.

Great food and Coffee with retro 50,s atmosphere.

S. L.

Went for lunch today with a group of 15. Very happy with the nice selection of cabinet food and helpful, speedy service. Excellent parking and the museum was excellent.

G.

Hamilton's best American Diner, and part of the amazing museum.

M. M.

Food was OK it's lost its 'diner' atmosphere however. Hope they get their mojo back.

K. M.

Delicious food and great service. Brilliant atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

It's ok...a novelty, but not what I hoped for service...but more glasses, store them in a fridge before use, don't serve cold stuff in hot glasses...& dump the plastic cups
