| - The layout is neat and clean as you walk-in. They commited well to the retro diner decor theme and they also have flat screens and a bar for sports enthusiasts. We selected the booth seating area... to my surprise the seat cushion moved completely out of place. No problem, we just moved over one booth, right? Wrong! The entire seat cushion of the other booth was busted too, but it was a little more manageable- (you just can't move -at all- while seated). So finally the seating situation is under control, so I went to wash my hands for the meal. The bathroom was basically brand new with all the updated features, such as scented spray sensors- oddly it smelt overwhleming like piss! When I say piss, I mean farm piss smell. So I looked around briefly... it was the beginning of the night and everything appeared to be clean, and the bathroom had hardly been used- so there was clearly deeper issues causing the washroom to smell like a urinal abused by a group of farm animals with bad aim. Alright, so I got the hell out the washroom and concentrated on removing this urine incident from my nose. Reset... So I went for the full experience, which would be a burger and a shake. The shake (6$) was fantastic with pieces of fudge brownie at the bottom. I recommend sharing between 2 people- it is a meal in itself. Two burgers were chosen: the Sammy D and the Elvis, both on their classic Jukebox white bun (they are said to be "home-baked"-nice). I should mention that they ground their own quality beef, as well, which is thoughtful. My critique about the burgers: If I order a preconfigured burger that has warm caramelised onions or warm chili, don't put the cold tomato and raw ring of oinions in the burger, too! I would have liked more of what I payed for (carmelized onions and mushrooms then the other tag-along toppings). The burger is great, though! Tastes like a solid homemade burger. Ours were cooked medium, borderline medium rare, which I'm sure they weren't going for. They were really juicy. Curly fries were tasty and could've been better if they weren't so cold and overly crunchy (made it unplesant to eat a lot of pieces). The traditional coleslaw was good- tasted and looks like fresh coleslaw made in-house. I rate this resto two stars for overall dining experience, the burger 3.5 stars(could easily be 4 with better execution) and the chocolate shake a solid 4-5 stars. Within a 1km walking distance, you can choose burgers from: A&W, Wendy's, Five Guys or Madisons; therefore, the war for your burger buck IS ON in the 'burbs! So, if I was struck again with the taste for a burger in that area, what would I chose? Easy, Jukebox. Why? It's truly the only ALL fresh burger (from the bun to beef patty and toppings) you can buy. And I don't mind paying 12$ for "a" burger, because it's actually real food. BTW one burger is good for two kids or a coed couple. I would only order one burger next-time. And I probably won't eat-in. I would takeout and pass on the retro timecapsule (which is done well), but too-family-resto-ee for my sanity. For the record, this place is not trying to be Johnny Rockets, the shake and the burgers are much more fresh and of higher quality. And this place is not expensive for families- you just have to know how to order. Burgers and shakes are good for two-don't be shy- ask for an extra glass and a proper knife and portion your food- because this restaurant isn't looking after your wasteline. Obesity wasn't an issue in the 60's.
