Love this place! Got I introduced to it by a friend in Appleton since I'm from Green Bay and this place is so much better and more affordable than any big fast food chain.

Amazing food - sandwiches, cheese curds, chicken tenders and of course slushies and ice cream treats, too. Great food, great service. All yummy!

Old school, in a nostalgic kind of way. My neighborhood burger joint growing up and everytime I come home to visit. Good burgers, good fries, good desserts, CHEESE CURDS. I love it.

JD's has, hands down, THE best cheese curds that myself or anybody else I've ever taken here, has ever had. They are VERY generous with their portions and the cheese curds... oh my goodness. I'm *NOT* a fan of the multiple "God Bless You"s on my receipts, though. You don't need to inject religion into my meal, JD.

So I finally had to check out JDs after hearing so many people rave about it. The locals acclaim it to be a must and some of Appleton's best comfort food burger diners. All I can say is utter disappointment. Perhaps I went assuming the food would be bursting with flavor. Nope. There are a number of fast food chains that are a better deal and taste far better. We tried 3 different burgers including their signature burger, tried the fries, cheese curds and onion rings. The $1 large soda was the best deal on the menu. Burgers taste like they have been warming in water for quite some time. There really was no flavor. The condiments were all fresh and delicious. I was told that I need to try the chicken strips, not sure if chicken strips are worth more than the 2 stars I'm giving it.

There isn't another "Hamburger Joint" anyplace that can top JD's! My family has been all over the States due to my husband's many years in the Navy so we've been to lots of "Burger Joints" But JD not only has his Burgers perfected, he also has his teen-aged, high-school kid's working there just as perfected, even counting your money back to you the right way!!! GREAT JOB JD!

I've been going to JD"s for around 45 years, still the best fast food burgers in town. Excellent service, a neighborhood gem!

I found nothing special here. It took forever to get my food, and my burger was no better than most other fast food joints. It's kind of in the middle of neighborhoods, so I get the sense that local kids work here. Maybe that's the draw, it's a community thing? If your passing by and want something to eat, you probably won't be disappointed. I wouldn't make a cross-town trip to go though...

Great deals, great service, a perfect place to bring your kids, or to come and eat greasy food if you're a high school student. I don't know if I've ever eaten there and JD hasn't been there. Like Culvers, they bring the food to your table after you order. If there is an food that isn't on the menu, I don't believe that it exists at all. I recommend the mozzarella sticks, 1000 calories or so of greasy delight. Ice cream, popcorn, burgers, fish, they have it all- and I've loved everything I've ever had there.

The shake was ok for softserve ice cream but the burger tasted like manure. It was so bad I threw it out and went to wendys

Iv'e been living in Wisconsin for over 16 years now, and up till about a month ago, I had never heard of Jd's. Deciding to give it a try based of a friends recommendation, I found this to be an amazing place, with equally amazing food. Although many would consider this place to be fast food join, and in retrospect it is, Jd's holds onto the old school 1950,60 style dinner. I have found Jd's to be a very pleasant place to eat at. All of the staff are extremely friendly, and well versed in the true meaning of customer service. I have found that everyone at JD's goes above and beyond to make you feel as if you are a part of the family. They make you feel as if you have know each and every one of them your whole life. I don't thin there are many dinners like Jd's left in the world. This is a place that groups of young ppl and older ppl can gather with friends for a nice time out on the town. This dinner captures and en body's the essence of what a good burger joint used to be to many Americans. I believe that anyone who gives Jd's a try will be a customer for life... I know that I am. Unfortunately fast food these days has become just that, fast and lacking in any substantial quality when it comes to their food. Everything has become so over priced in the fast food world, and generally you walk away feeling as if your money could have been better spent. At jd's, you will get good quality food at a price that will blow your mind. You will leave this place satisfied not only in the fresh made to order food, but in the money you spent to enjoy it.

Service as good as you'll get in a fast food place. Good prices and a great neighbor.

This is a popular hangout place for teens who go to school in the area, especially for the upperclassmen who are allowed to have off campus lunch. I was never a teen while living in Appleton, but I did come here a few times for a dipped soft serve cone. For super cheap, you can get a big cone of ice cream dipped in a bunch of different flavors. I have gotten both the chocolate and the cherry, both of which were pretty decent. The soft serve ice cream really isn't anything special, but I like the satisfying crunch of the hardened dipped chocolate or cherry flavoring. That puts JD's a step up above the soft serve cones you might get at McDonald's. I'm not a cheese curds fan, so I've never ordered those (or any form of fried cheese) from JD's, but I know people who go nuts for that stuff. Overall, this place is nothing special. Just your typical run-of-the-mill drive through type of place that sells fried, greasy American food for cheap. I'm sure it has some nostalgic or sentimental value to many, but for me, it was just average. Fun fact: Once I was lost biking somewhere, so I walked into JD's with my helmet in hand and asked the person at the counter for directions. An elderly gentleman working there was very friendly and actually took a minute to walk outside to better explain which direction I should go. Talk about Appleton hospitality!

Great place, service is fast and courteous. Great prices for the type of food and independently owned. Burgers, chick and fish sandwiches. cheese curds, onion rings, popcorn to malts, sundaes and cones.

I really didn't find it to be anything special.

JD's has sentimental value for me. I grew up two blocks away and spent much of my childhood rollerblading through the drive thru for cheese curds or a box of fries. (we're obviously healthy in Wisconsin!) Seriously though - this is the best example of a locally run business done right. JD knows kids are going to frequent his place and accepts anyone and everyone that's at the door. We use to rollerblade inside, buy one large coke and a box of fries and spend hours giggling in the corner. If you didn't know better... you'd think you had been transplanted in the 1950's when you step inside. The food is diner food... don't expect fine cuisine but it's great value for what you're paying. I miss living in Appleton for many reasons and my memories of JD's is one of them!

My boyfriend grew up going here in high school for burgers and cheese curds and the what not. So after flying in here after our red eye flight, this was our first stop after the airport so that he could introduce me to the state of Wisconsin's unofficial food: fried cheese curds. It's exactly what the name says it is. To me, it's the equivalent to a mini fried mozzarella stick but with a different kind of cheese. And it was great! I already love mozzarella sticks, so these, were also quite tasty to for my palette. The cheeseburger was okay for me it was actually really dry, but then again, I am spoiled when it comes to burgers..... but the main attraction to this place for me were the cheese curds. They also serve hot dogs, shakes, smoothies and some other items. If we have time in the next week while we are visiting, I may have to come back and check out some other stuff. Staff was helpful and the restaurant though in original old decor was amazingly clean. The kids working were always helping people, or cleaning the already clean windows and tables.

JD'S OH HOW I MISS YOU. yet you were the reason I couldn't seem to lose any weight when I lived down the street from you. BOXES of cheese curds, oh lordy! Every time I go to WI the first thing i do is hit up cheese curds- unfortunately I only make it to fon du lac before i need to make the cheese curd stop. Your double cheese burgers for 99 can make any value menu burger suck it, and your ice cream slushies are heaven. Whenever we go to JD's he always recognizes my boyfriend because he spent the majority of his teenage years high eating there every day. I am jealous that he does not recognize me, after all i probably gained about 20 lbs eating there so often.

A decent place. They were above average in comparable places in service, speed, food and atmosphere. A big turn off was Fox News on every TV when I've been there. Seeing Bill O'Reily when I was trying to eat, made me throw up a lil in my mouth. The chicken strips are good. I'll get my food to go from now on. I would go more if they kept Fox News off of the TV's.
