Experience Tennessee Jiffy Burger in Manchester, TN is a Destination for travelers and locals. Found at 1001 Hillsboro Blvd. and only 3.2 miles off I-24. This is an iconic fixture in Manchester, and this is where you will be sent. From the parking lot you know this place is special with the antique decor and the diner vibe. It feels like a step back in time. Inside you are welcomed immediately by the kind staff and drawn to the eye catching collection of memorabilia. It’s a feast for the eyes, and memory harking a simpler time. With a curb service reminiscent of the 50’s and 60’s the wait staff cheerfully carry food outside for diners who chose to stay in their vehicles. In 1957 this was a Frost Top Root Beer. In 1963 the previous owners wanted to rename it, the local newspaper had a contest and the winning name became Jiffy Burger. In August of 1965 current owner David’s parents bought it and they made history. David’s wife Nancy, and their daughter Tracy run it and take customer service to a new level. David is semi-retired but occasionally helps out. As patrons entered they addressed them by name and knew what they wanted for breakfast. They have 26 people who work here and they are a family. This group works so well and efficiently together in a small space. The kitchen was very impressive with good organization and cooperation. It proves that mighty things come from small spaces. Our waitress Melissa was kind and spoke so well about this iconic restaurant. Our breakfast was delicious and DanO’s coffee stayed hot and full. This is a destination so we enjoyed learning about the history and the antiques on display. First the food is fresh, no frozen pre pattied burgers here. They use 81/19 beef for their burgers, and they serve 4500-5000 weekly. Burgers are what they are famous for. Especially their Bonnaroo burger, the only place that is allowed to use the Bonnaroo name. This huge burger consists of a hamburger patty, onion ring, bacon, and egg. The displays are what catches the eye, David shared that they have a 5000 square foot warehouse that holds 20,000 feet of items. Ranging from 400-500 signs, 65 gas pumps, 57 drink machines just to mention a few. The oldest item is a map of the world from 1837. If you're traveling on I-24 or visiting the area don’t miss a visit to Jiffy Burger. You will enjoy experiencing this classic diner in Manchester.

This is a very cool, very retro hamburger joint! It opened in the 1960's and much of it still has that original feel and look to it. The burgers have a classic homemade taste to them. The menu is geared towards several types of burgers but there are plenty of other things to choose from as well for those who don't want a hamburger. The sides are unique in that you can get fries, onion rings, tater tots, and fries deep fried in a breading. Those were all good! Prices are good, too. Four of us got burgers, sides, and drinks (and it was plenty of food) for $38. A couple of things to plan ahead for: 1) this is not a big place so seating is limited (but you can order and eat in your car behind the restaurant like a drive-in) and 2) they only take cash or checks, no credit/debit cards. The locals are willing to stand and wait for a table which is always a good sign to me!

Not worth the price. I finished the meal, but won't go back. Make sure you are very specific on every item you'd like and ingredient you'd like. Cash/check only, ATM inside. I got the chick wagon burger and a hot dog. Food/Drink quality: It was decent and it almost filled me up, but I didn't enjoy it that much. Atmosphere: Tons of license plates, and photos of the owners and great Star Wars memorabilia, Betty Boop table, etc. The booths were weird but fairly comfortable. I loved the painting of the man behind the store on the wall. Noise level: Not bad Lighting: kinda dim, you know, diner vibes Staff: friendly and quick to refill drinks Cleanliness: clean! Indoor Seating: several tables Outdoor Seating: none, but you can drive up to the call boxes outside if you have cash/check ready Car parking: plenty Bike parking: none Pedestrian accessibility: horrible dangerous intersection nearby

What a classic joint! Our waitress may have been one of the genuinely nicest people I've ever met in my entire life!, on top of that, she was phenomenal at her job. I typically don't like places like these because they don't offer any vegetarian friendly options. However, i looked past that, my kids were in the mood for a burger. If you are looking to RV in area, Old Stone Fort Park is just down the street, and it's a serene, beautiful stay! Although the side of onion rings was fairly small, they were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft/tender on inside. The kids had a plain burger which they enjoyed very much. I tried the fried cod sandwich, which was very large and filling. It was a nice and nostalgic stop, the food and service were great to boot! Definitely recommend a stop if passing through area.

This place is really neat. I loved all the decorations and old antiques everywhere. Cool 50’s diner vibe. I ordered the signature bannaroo burger and added a side of tater tots. They apologized for the tether tots being extra crispy but honestly I prefer them crispy and they were perfect, quite possibly the best tots I’ve ever had. My wife had the battered fries and I wasn’t that impressed. We dipped both in ranch and it was delicious. Overall the only thing I would have changed about my meal was the egg on the bannaroo burger. I think it would be better without it. I left very full and satisfied. Glad we stopped by when passing through. Service was very kind, attentive, and helpful.

Delicious burger. Have made more than one stop here as we pass through on our way from Clarksville to Georgia. Usually get the Bonaroo Burger. Batter dipped fried and onion rings top the list for sides. Great portion size on the fries...not so much on the onion rings though. Cash is king here (or personal check-but who STILL writes checks?) and there is an ATM on site (high usage fee though). One of the best things about this place is that it's been here for a LONG time and, during lunch time hours, nobody visits the Hardee's right next door. Want a good burger? Go get you one at Jiffy Burger!
