After visiting the Parx Casino in Shippensburg, we searched Google for a restaurant. I’d seen this new owner and was curious. So, we chose KMJ Diner on the north end of town. The landscape looked unkempt, but I was hungry. In we went…it was a good choice.
Our waitress was friendly and efficient. After a few questions, I ordered a Tuesday special of pork and sauerkraut. My partner ordered breakfast, which is served all day. Our drinks were kept filled. Thanks.
We were seated in the front. New flooring made for unpleasant sound while wait staff dumped dishes. Ask to be seated in the back if you are sound sensitive. I wear hearing aids.
The food was good. Not salty but flavorful. One pet peeve is the oil used to fry home fries. This oil was not fake butter. It didn’t override the taste of potato.
Give this relatively new owner a thumbs up.

Friendly host, great prices, great portions, very clean diner, plenty of parking. The only critique I have for this visit is as an out-of-towner, it would have been nice for our waitress to inform us that she doesn’t take the payment at the table, we can go up to the koisk at the front desk to be checked out. We waited at the table for about 8 minutes after she handed us the check and when she sat down at the bar with her back to us we were wondering what was going on. Decent place overall, just some instructions for paying the bill would have been nice.
We ordered the egg and cheese sandwich special and the KMJ Diner Breakfast special.

Menu has a large assortmentnof items for breakfast lunch, and dinner. Went for breakfast howvere full menu available regardless what time it is. I got a bacon cheeseburger with fries. Burger was cooked just as i ordered, very tasty, bun was excellent too. The fries were especially good, wouldnt change a thing. Our server was very nice, thoughtful and provided us with good service. Will eat here again to try some other menu items. As for price, 2 of us with meals and drink came out to about $34. Not bad price at all.

I would give this place 10 stars if I could. I have no idea how it got such a bad rap in the past. We have eaten here several times and I have never had a bad meal, I’ve never had bad service, the food is delicious with much of it being homemade, the prices can’t be beat. I hope that everyone gives this place a chance. We had the sweetest server last evening. She could not have been any friendlier. Beautiful smile and just all-around kind of person. Keep doing what you’re doing kmj.

You are welcomed at the door and they’re happy you came! Super comfortable seating and homemade recipes. We ordered from the “Senior” menu, Spinach pie and meatloaf. Fast service at reasonable prices. “Jasmine” was our waitress and she was cheerful and attentive. The restaurant has clean restrooms, great bakery with cheesecake and blueberry pie, served breakfast, lunch and dinner. Big parking lot for cars and trucks and is right on the highway, easy to see the sign.

Amazing place to eat at. The food was delicious and plates were big, definitely able to take some home. People were wonderful and attentive and in all, the atmosphere was lighthearted.

The food was good. Our server seemed nervous and made a few mistakes but otherwise the experience was passable. I would suggest that management spend some time connecting with wait staff to equip them better or assure they are a good fit to serve the customers.

Excellent service and food! They actually use real potatoes for their mashed potatoes vs instant flakes. I had to try their pickled beets (prepared by their lovely server, Amber) You can just taste the love. If you want real food, this is a spot!

A joyous experience! Me and my friend were traveling, after a night of catching up and enjoying cocktails, we indeed needed some nourishment the following day. What a pleasant surprise when we discovered this little gem of an establishment. I enjoyed the steak and eggs, with a side of French fries, the steak was cooked to perfection, succulent and juicy! My friend enjoyed a delicious rendition of chipped beef, and a side of bacon! The meal to say the least was fabulous, and our server Krista B was on point, welcoming us with open arms, with pleasant conversation and on point service. I urge you, don’t walk run to KMJ diner, request Krista!
