the food is always kinda like crusty the service is fine but if you plan on getting a job there DO NOT the management is absolutely horrendous and i mean that seriously you try to switch shifts with a coworker? have to have a doctors note even if your not sick. i just wouldn't recommend this place in general.

First and foremost, this is our son's favorite place and we really enjoy the classic diner atmosphere and food. They have delicious ice cream, service is usually really good and the restaurant and bathrooms stay pretty clean. My issue tonight is only one thing, but it's a significant thing and nothing that is in the employees control. The menu items are NOT correct. There was a price on the menu that said the soup combo was 6.99 and the cashier stated they couldn't do the chicken stew as the soup combo and that was fine. The hand written sign on the register said the chicken stew was $6.99. Our total came up to $43 for 3 people and I thought that was kind of high, but we then I remembered we ordered the soup and a wrap extra to try so we figured it was right. After paying I got to looking and everything was rang up at at least $0.50 extra per item than the menu said. One of the items on the menu was $5.29 but rang up as $5.92 and so it seems like it's an intentional overcharge on items but making it appear to be the same price by just flipping numbers. We aren't really thrilled with that. $0.50 extra per item isn't a ton, but it adds up and I'd rather you just list the correct prices for sure. We didn't bother the kids working with it because in the past we have been told that they have mo way of changing what the register says. So food is good but watch what the prices are ringing up as !

I love that u can get any of there ice cream in a milk shake. Got my kids the Krazy kolor ice cream in a milk shake fyi parents it's greyish purple like cement colored in a milk shake sooo if u have a picky eater b warned.
We actually started off to eat at another restaurant, but it was a Monday and our first choice was closed. My wife had noticed this place and we decided to give it a try. CF Jones looks a lot like a Steak N Shake from the outside. Both try to look like a classic diner. Once inside most of that illusion is shattered. There is no counter seating or table service. There is an ice cream freezer that serves as a counter. You make your selection off a menu on the wall behind it. There was an older woman who seemed to be the only one that knew anything. Almost anything we asked needed to be answered by this person. Want to know what's on a big top burger? The counter help couldn't answer the question. What's in the chicken stew? They hadn't a clue. Unfortunately she had visitors and seemed to be annoyed by being interrupted. She sat in a booth across from them. Anything else the restaurant needed wasn't important. It was around 7 pm on a Monday and the place was nearly empty. I asked her if someone could refill the paper towel dispenser in the men's room. She gave me a look for interrupting her conversation. She would take care of it before we left. Needless to say that it didn't happen. She could have asked one of the other employees to do it, but she didn't. The food wasn't very good. My big top burger clearly had spent too much time under a heat lamp. The bun was so dried out that it was hard around the edges. At least it was a decent sized burger. Even though it was served as fast food it was priced like a table service restaurant. It came in at just under $11. My wife's order was a chicken wrap sandwich. She reported that it was dry and lacked flavor. It was a bit more expensive than the burger. Sides in both cases were extra. I have no idea why they named the burger the big top burger. Were they going for a circus theme? Maybe. It didn't carry over. Would we come back? Not if we had an alternative. We are traveling and could have stopped anywhere for dinner. We chose this place at random. CF Jones is someone's dream. They put a lot of money into this place. Clearly the staff needs more training. The food needs to be improved. How much would it cost them to add some chips on the side to the burger? We are only one couple who stopped in on their travels through an area we only pass through twice a year. How important is it that we have a positive experience? Any patron can write a Yelp review. That means that every patron is important.
