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, they didn't come in the tall retro glasses like I thought but those small jar type glasses, drink wasnt fill to the top either it was under the neck and rest was filled up with cream which was abit off a rip). Was also happy to see a kids area, which was also grea. Would deffinitly visit again though the food was great!

Extremely grateful for finding this hidden treasure. The Jukebox diner has lovely and welcoming staff as well as delicious food. My grandmother and I spotted this hidden gem whilst on the way to Auckland from Cambridge, grateful, as we were about to be stuck in Huntly with a takeaway. What a delightful surprise we got once we entered the decorated Diner. The 1950's atmosphere engulphed us instantly and it was if we took a trip back in time. Food was like nothing we ever imagined as it tasted heavenly, was big and filling but at the same time well priced. Could not recommend this restaurant enough. Constantly thanking the staff and those who work hard to present such an amazing place. I will definitely be coming again soon.
Classic Diner is great place to dine in. The retro vibe makes the dining experience quite different. Foodwise - good variety. Some taste of American cuisine and the ice cream sodas (amazing). Overall, it was an amazing experience and would definitely comeback again for more.
A nice little American-retro themed diner next to Classic Museum. The place is child-friendly with good play area. We tried The Juke, Creamed Mushrooms, curly fries and chocolate, strawberry and banana caramel milkshakes. The Juke - poached eggs, kransky, tater tots and bacon were cooked perfectly. The curly fries was good too. Although a little disappointed with the creamed mushrooms and milkshakes as it just had an average taste. The service was fast and the staff was friendly.
This place was fantastic. Loved the Black Angus burger (made with a black bun)
Staff super friendly.
The new manager/Owner has really changed the diner for the better.
I have been here once for the drive in movie night. I got the burger and it was pretty yum! Would love to come back here for breakfast as the menu looks so good!
Lovely diner, good food. Milkshakes could use an improvement for one. Staff were friendly, and we enjoyed the theme of course. Fallout series fans will enjoy the atmosphere.
We recently discovered a lovely little retro American diner in Dinsdale next to the car museum – rather aptly named the Jukebox Diner. It’s gorgeously kitted-out with vintage decor, waitresses in diner uniform, and a jukebox belting out oldies. The ambience was superb, the service excellent, and while the food was rather average, it’s such a fresh breath of air from the standard establishments found in Hamilton that we’re inclined to overlook that. The boy wasn’t too fond of his classic burger (which seemed a bit too overloaded with veggies to be a truly American burger), but I thought my chili dog with beef chili, melted cheese and sour cream was pretty good, and I’d definitely want to come back for the waffles and banana split.
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.
Costly, but that is because it is quality. Big kids play area and kid friendly menu. Highly recommend. Delicious food. I love the Icecream Sodas. Clean.
Great staff, quick service and awesum food. A very good menu.

The Jukebox Diner catered for our training programme upstairs in the conference room for 3 weeks. Aroha the cafe manager was very responsive to our needs and delivered great food on time that suited all dietary requirements.
Great kids play area and even better BIG boys area with classic cars! We'll worth the visit, with good food too. Yummy milkshakes and goooood hot chips too. True to an American theme of jukebox, totally recommended. Loads of parking too. Xx
The food is great, it's got a good play area and my kids are always thrilled to be here. My youngest really likes their kids milk that comes in a bottle. The milkshakes are all really yummy. I like the cherry cola ice cream soda too. Brunch wise the meals are decently priced and filling. The decor is super fun and really leans into the diner look. It’s had a bit of a refresh recently too with a big photo mural.
Really good place to dine for car enthusiasts or just to be taken back in time while you enjoy your meals.
Food is good and has a kid menu and also little areas for the childern to play.
The car musem itself is amazing and the staff were also very kind.
'Tis a nice American themed diner and an old cars museum in one. They serve burgers and curly fries, milkshakes and coffee. You'll be greeted by door with the statue of the King of Rock n Roll himself, Elvis. While eating chips, tomato sauce (if you want some) will be with the lady in waiting none other than Betty Boop. There is a restroom and a play area for little humans. The car museum also has a display of old petrol pumps, motorbikes, and other blast from the past. Come have a look.😊
We had a rather large group dine at the Jukebox Diner a couple of weeks ago. The deco was darling. They had prepared our table for us. The food was delicious and the service was great. We will definitely go back. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
We had a tasty late lunch. We liked that there's a smaller meal option. Eggs on gf toast which was good, as gf bread often is a disappointment. My husband had creamy mushrooms which he thoroughly enjoyed. We shared a half serve of crinkly fries which were great as not all greasy. They could've been a little hotter. Coffee was excellent which was a treat. Lovely staff, friendly service.
Late arriving (5 of us) and a sign said kitchen closed.
Explained we traveled down from Auckland.
How amazing they took our order for meals and drinks which I really appreciated as all tired and hungry.
Large milkshakes first, creamy with loads of flavor.
Then our burgers, good size, extremely tasty and all meals arrived hot.
Venue is quirky cool, plenty of tables (or a booth if you want the old 'happy days' experience) and room to move around. Incredibly clean and also has lovely selection of cabinet food including yummy sweets, or icecreams for the kids.
Loads of parking.
Very cool rock n roll American diner vibe. Not too busy so didn't need to book on a Sunday but nearing Christmas so everyone at the shops probably
