AJs isn't what it used to be all those years ago.Burgers were ordered to be cooked as "medium", but came out "well done" and were a bit on the dry side. There were a total of 4 patties, and not one of them was cooked "medium". Didn't want to return them to hopefully get burgers cooked the way we paid for them, so we ate them.The chile con queso was of low quality. Very runny/watery, and the chilies must've came straight from the fridge because they were cold. So it was... interesting.. to eat hot soupy cheese with cold chilies.Burgers were not worth the price in our experience.Chile con queso is not worth it.Honestly, we should have gone to Five Guys for a tastier experience and at the same price point.Also, when we were getting ready to leave, the waitress took one of our plates without asking if we wanted a to-go box. It had 1/4 of a double patty burger and plenty of fries on that plate. We didn't notice that she took that plate because we were talking. Our bad, I guess? But still, there was plenty of food that should have warranted a "would you like a to-go box?" or something. So that was like $5 in food that got taken away from us.Another thing, in the beginning you have to pay for your food (when you first walk in), why do you do that? Your payment system asks for a tip before we have even sat down.. That's bad user experience in my opinion. Let us order food first and then we can tip appropriately (like a regular restaurant). I gave a 15% tip but wouldn't have given that tip after our experience there.It's supposed to be kinda like a 50s diner but it felt... soulless. Like, a restaurant that dressed up in a 50s diner costume and came to your door saying "trick-or-treat". You can see that the aesthetic is there, but it felt generic or something.After all that, I do want to say that the bathrooms were clean.P.S. Your website is a bad experience to use. There's no menu to see what you have before coming. And your "Order Online" button is broken. Please update/fix your website.

I used to love the tuna melts here, but we were just there on Sunday and it is no longer as good as it used to be. The gentleman taking orders seemed so unfriendly, he said he was unable to change the kids fries to curly fries, there were only fountain drinks and I asked if he had juice or sell me a chocolate milk for kids and he said no. The napkin dispenser was empty so when he came with the food, I decided to just get napkins and everything myself from another table so he would not be bothered. The cheese on the tuna sandwich had not even melted and the philly cheese steak was bland. I was glad to see more people come in, because at first it was empty. I will try the other location next time and see if it is better.

Love the decor and 50's style theme. I had a burger - the patty was small and overcooked for my taste. Restroom was out of paper, even after the cashier had just gone in! ?

Looks and tastes like an old-school diner. The food is very good, but a little pricey. Best milk shake I have had in years!

Love the ice cream. Asked for banana split, they we're "out of bananas".Asked for a manager, he was busy.Then no manager, but owner. He was out.No one in charge. No excuses for running out of "bananas ". Albertsons is close by.
