Jackson Hole — Restaurant in New York

i’m an influencer and i called way ahead of time to ask if it was ok to take photos here. it’s my birthday and i love vintage themed things. the person on the phone said yes. i asked if sunday morning would be ok because that is when the photographer i found was available. they said to come when they open. we got dressed up 60s themed and drove an hour to do this. there were multiple tables that were empty while we were there, there was no line waiting at any point. when we sat down i informed the waitress what we were doing and that we were going to order food after the session. she said ok no problem let me know when you’re ready. the other customers around us were smiling and thought it was cute what we were doing. one of the workers tried telling us we have to wrap it up because they’re busy. again there were no people waiting and there were multiple empty tables. we went into the back section in a corner because i paid the photographer for this photoshoot after i was given permission from the restaurant and we put a lot of effort in to do this. he wouldn’t give us a coke for the photos and came up to us again and told us to leave. extremely confusing and unexpected after i had covered my bases to ask permission ahead of time. i would never do this and just assume it was ok. he told me he talked to all the managers and nobody said it was ok. so i’m lying about the phone call i made that i have record on on my phone. we even ate here last night so we were giving them business and exposure twice in our stay in nyc. total waste of time and very disappointing to be treated this way when we are spending money and promoting a restaurant we thought was cool. everywhere else i went and took photos the restaurant absolutely loved it.

update: everyone is asking me what the diner is called from the photos i posted and i’m not tagging them or promoting the name in any way because of the way they treated us! horrible business decision is chasing away passionate customers. shame on the despicable management...

Founded in 1972 on the former site of Airline Diner, Jackson Hole is a 1950’s original Art Deco-style chrome diner, the last of its kind, just west of LaGuardia Airport on Astoria Blvd in East Elmhurst, and my partner, my cousin and I haven’t been here in a while. This establishment is not only famous for the movie Goodfellas with Ray Liotta and Robert De Niro but also for its outsize hamburgers. Upon entering, it does get busy, but we were luckily able to grab a booth with an old-fashioned jukebox without any wait. It’s an open kitchen where all food is cooked in front of the restaurant. Their menu is extensive, including full diner-style breakfast and brunch selections, burgers (7 oz), salads, vegetarian panini or wraps, sandwiches,desserts, milkshakes, smoothies, and coffee drinks. We ordered a Mexican Bronco Sandwich (marinated chicken breast served on garlic toast topped with cheddar cheese and jalapeño peppers), a 7-ounce Beef Burger served with onion rings instead of steak fries, lettuce, and tomato, and a 7-ounce California Burger (topped with lettuce, tomato, raw onion, and mayonnaise with sweet potato fries instead of steak fries, lettuce, and tomato). The food was fresh and tasty. The burger was juicy, savory, and custom cooked to our specifications. The novelty was the size of this burger. It looked like an enormous meatball, but it's rivaled by no other burger that we’ve ever eaten, which was the star of the show. This place is a bit overpriced, but for the most part, one gets a good portion. Food is consistently good, and service is pretty good. It should be noted that this is a "cash only" establishment; they have an ATM in the back of the restaurant. It was a good experience, and we can recommend this place....

I went to one of the oldest diner's in NYC aka "Jackson hole" with over 4000 reviews on Google maps if you guys don't know this iconic diner was featured in the classic movie "good fellas" in 1990 if you youngins haven't watched that movie yet I highly recommend ! Now back to Jackson hole As you guys can see in the video I wasn't a big fan of their pickles it tasted very off and left out like luke warm even though the place was freezing 1 out of 10 stars

I then went with their mozzarella sticks and hey you can't go wrong they tasted well 4 out of 5 stars

Even though Jackson hole is well known for their burgers I decided to go for their classic turkey club sandwich kinda like a BLT but with added Swiss cheese and turkey and stacked like a triple Decker it wasn't up to par in terms of quality but hey what can I expect from a diner with over 50 items in their menu you can only expect so much The reason why I wasn't really satisfied with the sandwich was because on each layer it didn't have bacon only on the bottom and not only that their wasn't really mayonnaise it felt like it was rushed again I'm not expecting the highest attention to detail regarding food remember this is a diner with an extensive menu Overall I enjoyed the whole diner experience It felt like I was in a time machine back in the 50s Considering their prices and it's cash only it's not bad at all not only are you paying for the food I believe you're getting the overall old school and history experience as well Would I come back here again absolutely 5...
