Picked this place based on other google reviews. It was your old school diner. The food was quick and good. Prices are good. Parking is limited. I would certainly go back. A genuine diner that stands out. The proprietor, Joe, was very accommodating, knows the area very well, and was a joy to talk with. Our waitress saw that a member of our party had some difficulty, and attended to us extremely graciously, even to the extent of opening the front door while we were coming up the steps. The BLT and turkey club sandwiches were excellent, and the portion of the root beer very large.
We found this diner on our way to the Erie Canal Museum. Its classic diner architecture stood out against the backdrop of multi story industrial style buildings a cheerful and nostalgic beacon offering good food and friendly service. If youre looking for warmth, nostalgia and good food drop in and be charmed and delighted.
The owner is always there and very friendly. The service is fast and I usually go there on Fridays for the fish fry. You get a good size piece of fish with fries for $7.00 how can you beat that!
Wish the food quality was better but otherwise a great location for breakfast.
The food was okay and priced fairly. Its got that distinct and unmistakable diner vibe to it, from the furnishings to the exterior of the place. The elderly couple who runs this place was such a lovely and welcoming pair who treats everyone who walks in like family.
Came in just walking off the street on a Wednesday afternoon.Attentive, friendly owner. Really tasty food with enough to satisfy (had the colorful frittata and a tuna sandwich). Solid prices. Subjectively, it felt like I was home here having lunch.If only I lived here, would -definitely- be coming back again.
This was the most vile dining experience of my life, it blows my mind there are so many reviews stating this place is clean...they all seem to mention the wonderful owner, seems suspect. Well I did not meet the owner, just a coked out waitress who didnt seem to know what was going on. I was equally confused. How could such a disgusting establishment still be in business? Everything you touch is grimy, the food was inedible, and I needed to shower and change my clothes once I got home from the stench that seeped in from being inside the place for ten minutes.
Diner is cute but greasy food.
The owner is 1 of a kind. Walking in I felt like I knew him for years. The food was on point and the conversation was above and beyond. I will be back
Great Food. Low prices. Clean. Owner operated and local...perfect downtown place to eat.
As soon as I walked in, I could tell the waitress was on drugs. She was straight up tweaking, could not stand still the whole time, literally almost threw my food onto the table. Now to the food. It was swimming in grease. Had I not been hungover and hungry I wouldve got up and left. Disgusting place.
Absolutely awesome! And great people! Love the fish sandwhich on Fridays
The food was very delicious I would come back again the staff was very courteous friendly price was reasonable and the place was clean
Awful diner! My table was sticky and the actual menu and catsup bottle were sticky and grimy to the touch!! 😱Ugh!! Everything is old and dusty. Scambled egfs were a gray color and the blueberries in my pancakes tasted like dish soap-how is that possible!!??? The food was horrible! Would not recommend!
Always great service and delicious food!
Good food at good prices

Great food, fun and historic atmosphere. Feels like a traditional dinner, and the staff is funny and engaging.
Visiting from out of town..so glad we found this place...small town feel with awesome food

On the first day of the NYS Fair, we ate dinner at JJs At The Fair! Getting hungry for dinner and glancing posted public menus down the food strip at the NYS Fair, saw pot roast beef sandwich which my mom and I found interesting and unusual for a fair; but very enticing by its name and sounded good! The server/waitress Cassy (Niece to the owner we learned.) saw we were interested and offered my mom a sample of the beef. Once my mom bit into it, I see my moms eye roll and said it was scrumptious! Without having a bite of it myself, and hearing my mom says it is very good; well, I gave in and had to have a pot roast beef sandwich too! The sandwich stands when served with soft fresh rolls top and bottom 3-4 inches high filled with beef! The beef is not spicy nor stringy either. It is similar to roast pork, but in beef form! They have it marinated in a mild sauce that is not a gravy, but in its own juice! We ordered fries and 2 soda drinks! It was very good indeed! If at the NYS Fair, need to stop by this family ran restaurant on the food strip! It is slow roasted already in some pot or container behind the counter, so there is no long waiting period! Cassy told me they offer this sandwich at their main location on Water Street, but only as a special at times. I suggest you (JJs) have it permanently on your menu! You will never regret stopping there for this delicious pot roast beef sandwich! Thank you!

First time me and my girlfriend eat there and would eat there again.
