This is a classic diner you may have passed multiple times within a vehicle, like me. It's not particularly close to a subway station, but it has its own parking lot. Stepping inside Jackson Hole is like winding back the clock. The employees are all super welcoming and nice. We were a big group there for breakfast, and they easily accommodated us. The kids in our party were enamored of the tabletop jukeboxes and selected a few current pop hits (a quarter each) for the whole restaurant to enjoy/endure. Speaking of quarters, be sure to bring cash since Jackson Hole doesn't take credit cards. On the food front, I ordered the guacamole omelette ($16.75), and it was filling and in true diner style, not bad. The eggs are served with your choice of home fries, steak fries, or fruit as well as your choice of multigrain, rye, or white toast or muffin. The home fries could've had more excitement in the seasoning and salt departments but they were all right. Everyone else seemed pleased with their choices. I'll have to return and try Jackson Hole's burgers!

Ate here again, today, and after a few years hiatus. And...I felt compelled to write another review. This place is a real gem...a diamond in the rough. First off, it's in a somewhat odd location, which IMHO just adds to its appeal. It's at the border of Astoria (Astoria Heights, to be exact), and right alongside the Long Island Expressway (LIE), with traffic heading to/from nearby La Guardia airport, as well as traffic heading to/from the Triboro Bridge, which in turns leads into Manhattan or the Bronx. So it's an interesting mix of drivers who are in a rush to get here or there. Further across from the diner, on the opposite side of the LIE, is a big cemetery...right alongside a highway. Classic NYC. Also, if you sit in the front half of the diner, and you sit facing 'East', you can simultaneously see planes making their descent towards La Guardia airport, as you eat. All or most tables have their own private little jukeboxes, that take quarters. And surprisingly, most of them DO seem to work properly. As soon as I made my music selection, some KC & the Sunshine Band, followed by Heatwave, immediately came over the speaker of the entire diner. ;-) The crowd there is a great mix of NYers from all walks of life, along with the occasional tourist. The staff there are fantastic. I feel so blessed, to be able to WALK to this place, from my apartment. Oh, and this diner was also featured in one of the famous scenes from 'Good Fellas'...a scene where they were plotting a heist at La Guardia....

Classic diner, bustling, heavily decorated with retro posters and pictures. Big menu as you'd assume. I got two eggs and sausage. Standard eggs and sausage, good but the home fries were really good. Usually they are big chunks of potatoes and sometimes bland veggies but these were smaller pieces and good seasonings and very tasty. Service was good/normal. It's always nice to go to a classic diner especially when so many of them have been closing.

What's not to love about a busy diner with HUGE burgers and chicken sandwiches? Oh, and their breakfast dishes are awesome too. Jackson Hole is near Laguardia Airport, just off of the Grand Central, and you've driven by it a thousand times. It's the place with the cool old sign that you've seen in Goodfellas or other things. What does that mean in terms of the food here? Absolutely nothing. There's parking in their lot (not much but enough) or on the street, which also has nothing to do with the food, but people like to hear about that stuff. Now onto the food. It's super fresh because the place is literally always bustling, the portions are immense. If you get a chance, take a look at the person cooking the burgers on the flat top. Those things are massive. And yet, he gets the patties perfectly done to your specs. Impressive! There are a number of topping combos that are on the menu, or you can pick your own. I know that isn't rocket science, but it's nice for some people who suffer from indecision issues. Whatever you choose will be piled on and fill you up (for at least one meal, maybe more) The service is attentive, and the whole experience is a cool throwback to when diners were actually good. Because this one is actually good. Great even.

Best burger ever Good parking Fun jukebox Nice friendly staff Clean open kitchen Cash only Atm

Our waitress is very nice, we were a party of eight and just came back from the cemetery visiting a loved one. I don't think I've ever tried this place though I've driven by it for years. The food was pretty good...my cappuccino was really good. My ice cream was pretty standard. It was a small and pretty cramped atmosphere but you would think it would be from the appearance from the outside - the staff was nice but very busy as I would have expected.

This might be my new favorite diner. We stopped by on Saturday. The place was packed inside but there were seats outside. We opted to wait for a spot inside and it only took 10 min. The decorations are 100 - retro 50s style diner. Our server was very nice. I ordered the chipotle homemade veggie burger with a side of waffle fries. The burger was delicious! Usually at diners the veggie burger is a typical impossible or beyond patty, but theirs was legit homemade. They also have freshly squeezed orange juice and other great shakes and smoothies. I felt the quality of the food of this diner was superior than most I've been to. Would def come back! Note it's cash only but they have an atm onsite.

The service was GREAT, even tho they said they would sit us in 15 minutes, it took them 5 to clean and clear a table for us! The waitress was amazing and friendly, gave us awesome recommendations and accommodated to our needs! The food was delicious, we did find the house potatoes a little dried and bland, so I wouldn't suggest those, instead ordered the regular french fries. We really enjoyed the waffles, they were the perfect balance between fluffy and cake like, moist with a little honey and butter was a delicious combo! We love the little jukebox that each table has, helps to ask for songs, and is only $0.25 cents! We did find the mango smoothie very citric, it was more of an orangey flavour than mango, which was disappointed but overall, great restaurant!
