Great place to go for some real American diner food. My husband and I ordered the French dip sandwich with sweet potato fries and the BLT with regular fries. All were good. Don't skip out on the shakes, but they will fill you up. Probably should have just shared one!
Jax is a unique diner that we would visit again. Great food and service. My husband had the BBQ Cheese sandwich with coleslaw featured on Diners, drive-ins and dives. Really good! I had the crab cake salad and enjoyed it. The milkshake is very good. Highly recommend it.
Real American diner. Great variety of dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Portions are typically American massive portions. Not really fine dining. All American diner experience makes it a 3,5.
Delicio. I look forward to coming again. I look forward to eating again. I look forward to eating there crab cake.
Gustatory. Not your ordinary diner. 1948 building from Pennsylvania shipped to Truckee In early 1990s. Great period piece preservation. Specials menu had sautéed calamari, lobster pie, and truffles fries. Good experience all around. Helpful staff.
It was packed at their competion across the tracks so we came here. What an outstanding breakfast we had. Will recommend and return.
Classic diner with great food.
The coffee is weak but the food was good. My husband and I had breakfast. I think the chicken fried steak was great had an original coating reminding me of onion rings. My husband enjoyed the corned beef hash. The service was good but understaffed
What a great find for dinner! The crab cake sliders were amazing and all the food was good. Lava cake rich and delicious, be sure to get a scoop of ice cream.
Friendly. Just happened in . My kids spotted it .I felt ugh it's a coffee shop.Being out voted we went in. I was taken with the menu .Then I had the oppurtunity to speak to Phil,the chef. His enthusiasim about his menu was contacious. We started with sweet potatoe fries and then onward with dill crusted fish and chipolte burgers. I can't wait to go back for dinner (Kobe Meatloaf}. You should stop if you can.

Good food out of a really cool diner-
Drove all the way to Truckee from Napa and was pleasantly surprised when we decided to make a pit stop here. The food was yummy and rich, position sizes were big, prices were fair and ambiance was neat. Felt like we went back in time to the 50’s! The restaurant was pretty empty and so service was fast and also constantly checking up on us. What more could ask for?
All sandwiches and burgers can be put on gluten-free bread. The Ruben was excellent, the pulled pork was okay, the gluten-free bread was good. Our waiter was great and the atmosphere of the diner is fun. I would come here again!
Went for Sunday brunch and only waited 20 minutes. Their staff was very friendly and attentive. However, their food was subpar. The turkey in the Jax Melt was very dry and had no flavor. Their fries, while a generous portion, were unseasoned and soggy. Everything besides the food was good.
I ordered a dish that was called something along the lines of "comfort in a bowl," and my husband ordered a Reuben sandwich.
Both of us enjoyed our food. My dish was basically a bunch of vegetables on top of mashed potatoes with shrimp and avacado. Delicious!
After spending a day in Truckee we came across this place that we had to check out the next day for brunch. Glad we did. It's unassuming from the outside but inside is quintessential American diner. From the stools to the service to the food, everything was brilliant.
Got the southern fried steak and eggs and honestly, I couldn't complain about anything on it. It was perfect. Highly recommend as a stop if you're in town.
I love stopping by this spot whenever I’m in Truckee! The atmosphere of it being on the train tracks is pretty neat and their malt shakes are heavenly. The food in general is pretty good. Typical diner style food. If you’re in the area and have never been, I would recommend giving it a try.
1st time here. The food was good. The staff was friendly, but hardly came around. I would like to come back and try other food items.
JUN 2023: Recommended by a Reno friend and totally worth it! Right off Main Street, clean, lots of seating, helpful staff, no wait, nostalgic decor, and delicious food. Gotta try the homemade mac-n-cheese, huge onion rings and the “Butcher’s Burger” was like a Texas BBQ on top of a cheese burger!
Stopped here for a late evening snack. The place is super quaint and nostalgic. The staff was super friendly and the food was great. I recommend the chili cheese fries. The chili was great. The garlic truffle fries were a hit too. Finished it all off with a chocolate shake. Great end to a perfect day in my always home no matter where we live…California.
