We decided to eat out for breakfast and like eating local, so we stopped by DJ’s. When we entered, we were immediately welcome by Vera, our server. She asked us what we wanted to drink and said we could sit wherever. We ordered the “Shake” omelet and the “Rattle” omelet, which are a Western and a Ham and Cheese. Also ordered hash browns and bacon. While waiting, I walked around and took pictures. Love the feel of the place. Got our food quickly even though three more groups came in after us. The food was very good and hot. Vera was very nice and always checking on us. If you like eating local, DJ’s is recommended.

My son and I absolutely loved it here! Our waitress was so nice and attentive! I just wish I could remember her name. My son has already made it clear he wants his Birthday dinner there. He's a huge Elvis fan so he was loving the vibe there!

My son and I flew into Fairmont today to visit this diner. It is our 4th visit and we were not disappointed. My son ordered his eggs sunny side up and they were perfect. I ordered the omelette and it was good too. The service was a little slow which is why they get 4 stars. We will be back.

I Had a good experience at this cool little spot. There was even some cool cars out front to check out on the way in. It looks like they have a drive in every Thursday evening.

Traveling through the area. I had been talking about a diner all day. Passed this one & HAD to stop. They play oldies, which is fabulous. Server was attentive and got our order pretty quickly. Food was super fresh, hot, & tasty. Was very impressed. We ordered the hamburger & fries, mozzarella sticks, & cabbage rolls. Everything was amazing. Plus they had cream soda.

I love this place! I've eaten here before, and I was delighted I could share it with my daughter. We both had the grilled chicken salad. It was huge, and quite delicious, loaded with chicken and veggies. The jalapeño poppers were great, too!! Shared a piece of cheesecake for dessert!! So good with strawberries!! It was a wonderful lunch

We waited what felt like an exceptionally long time for some simple fare like omelets. The food was just okay. I ordered the ham omelet, which I believe said it was diced ham, but was actually lunch meat style cut into chunks and the layers weren't separated making it a bit too hammy with not enough cheese. I also found some unwelcome onions in there. I'm being generous with 4 stars, but I don't want to be too harsh on a place I've only visited once and which may have just been on an off day.

One of two Starlite diners in WV, this place has fabulous French toast and Belgian waffles. Tucked away near the airport, it's definitely a hidden gem!
