Jax Atmosphere
This is certainly not a dark and dingy diner as one would expect. The diner is flanked on all sides with windows that let sunlight shine through which adds to the cheery feeling that pervades the establishment. The staff always seems to meet new people and makes each diner feel comfortable and welcome. The diner is composed of two rail cars that meet on the ends forming an 'L' shape. A classic lunch counter and a row of booths are just past the entrance. The fixtures and lighting are reminiscent of the art deco theme so popular in the 1930's.
