“The shrimp and grits are good — cheesy, lemony and perfectly seasoned. The people are nice and the decor is immaculate. We sat at the counter and the bar is so aesthetic✨ Would love to come back with a reservation and dine in one of the booths.“
“We came here on a Saturday and from start to finish Ray’s was enjoyable. The staff was very friendly and for it to be as crowded as it was they were very engaging with the customers. The food came out quickly and was delicious! Truly a wonderful family owned spot! Will definitely be going back.“
“Wanted to try a different diner in the area. I got the grilled chicken sandwich and it was awesome the staff is very nice. My 3 teenage girls are very picky and they enjoyed all their choices. I asked my daughters would they consider going back and they all emphatically said yes !!! My daughters really liked the Easter decorations!!! I highly recommend !!!“
“Always a good experience here the hosts always Greet you with a positive attitude and the service is always top notch. Prices are also very fair.Parking: Fair amount of parking entrance and exit are also easy to navigateKid-friendliness: Kid friendly food options and chairs“
“The place is magical! The waiters and waitresses are all friendly and they get it right. Our grandkids love Teddy , he spoils them terribly. We walk in the door and there is my grandsons favorite treat right in front of him. The food is always delicious, breakfast, lunch or dinner. We are super fans of the “
“The food was also really good but oh my god wait until you try the coffee!! I got an iced espresso without sugar or milk and it was so good! I’ve had many of their other drinks and smoothies as well! They just knock it out of the park with their food, their smoothies, their juices, and the coffee.“
“First and foremost, before I even discuss the food I want to address the fact that all of the staff at the diner today seemed genuinely happy to be there. Having worked in food service, that’s generally unheard of. Big props to the owner/ management for creating an environment like that.Now the food: I’m gluten intolerant. I couldn’t contain my smile when I saw the extensive gluten free options and heard of the lengths the kitchen goes to ensure allergy safety. I can’t remember the last time I have had so many wonderful options and could order something so easily. I got the chicken fingers and they were wonderful.Lastly: Safe is a fantastic server and very clearly cares a lot about the diner patrons. Every table that gets him as their server is just as lucky to have him as the diner is.Thank you for a great dinner ? I will be back OFTEN“
“Caldwell Diner is a solid pick for diners in the area. It has a cute interior. Service is always good here. I've been here a few times for breakfast and dinner and it never disappoints. Most recently I was craving disco fries and tried Caldwell Diner for them and they did not disappoint. We also got the Cheesecake which was mind blowing. The waitress said they make the cheesecake onsite. Anyway, it was a cheesecake even the Golden Girls would die over. Other times, I've gotten one of their salads and still haven't forgotten about it. This is a gem of a spot.“
“Been going to the OD for years now. Before covid I had asked the manager why they didn't use Heinz ketchup, he said it was a supply issue. Fast forward to 2024, the ketchup on tables is still a knock off brand of Heinz. The irony is that when I order take out the ketchup packets are Heinz. If a restaurant is blatantly showing they are cutting a corner what other shortcuts are they taking? I can't complain about the service or the food, just the ketchup on the table. Sometimes I'll order a baked potato rather than fries so I don't have to use weird-tasting ketchup. For a $17 sandwich, give me Heinz!“
“After a long overnight shift at the hospital I stopped in the nearest breakfast spot on google. I like to support small owned businesses because usually you receive good quality service and that’s what I encountered when coming in this morning. I had the bacon egg and cheese on a roll and a coffee. The sandwich was delicious, and the coffee was just that. Coffee. If you’re in a rush first thing in the morning be sure to give yourself time because they take they’re time to prep the food but in a good way overall I was satisfied and will be back again.“
“I'm rating this place based on their breakfast food. It was exactly what I expected and wanted. They were quick to seat and take our order. And the food was also quick and precise. I went on a sunday noon and it was completely packed. They are a small place that give a retro feel to it. And the ladies working it also give it a home-ish feel. I liked it! The omelets and pancakes were real good and i had no complaints. I guess the only slight dislike i had were the potatoes,as they were a bit burnt as you can see on the picture. Its nothing spectacular but they delivered and at a reasonable price as well! Overall really enjoyed it and would go back for some quick breakfast!“
“I did not know it was a landmark unless I met some old folks. The Spa has been offering comforting home-cooked meals to its customers for “over 55 years” but not sure why, it is not as popular as it deserves.With its welcoming, homey atmosphere and retro vibe The Spa has always been a well-known gathering spot for locals. The Spa is in the center of a small strip mall right off North Beverwyck Road.We came here for brunch, and 80% of their customer base is above 50 Years...We ordered-grilled and chicken omelet - a perfect blend of omelet and chicken.French Toast and pancake comboThe food was great with local flavor. The owner makes you feel welcome and they are cute :)Ample seating booths, parking, restrooms - everything is there.“
“Need a quick cup of coffee or their famous "Tower" breakfast sandwich then head to Abbie's. This small restaurant has 4 tables and about 6 bar stools. They have great pancakes and a good cup of coffee. Many locals go here for their morning caffeine hit and local news. People call in their orders and run in and pick up. It's a "guy" kind of place and many local landscapers, and tradesmen are getting a great breakfast sandwich and coffee on the run for a very reasonable price. I wouldn't recommend it if you're going with your girlfriends though.“
“The Waverly is the definition of no frills. Menu on the wall, servers also cook, and booths as hard as church pews. However the food is good and it comes quickly. And for heavens don’t say a Taylor Roll is like Canadian bacon, not if you want to get out of New Jersey alive. Now my regular breakfast stop in Madison NJ“
“First time coming here since remodel. The new atmosphere and remodel is amazing. I love the new set up and everything. However the service wasn’t that good, our waiter barely came to the table to check on us and forgot about some of our food. The food wasn’t entirely bad, it was flavorful but a little dry.“
“Great place for breakfast/brunch. Very busy every time I've been but worth the wait. They have a bar you can seat yourself if there is a spot and parking is a nightmare but they do have overflow parking a short walk away. It's an adorable place reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland type decor. The staff is friendly and service is pretty prompt even when hopping. My daughter has had the cheese blintzes and I've had the Arepa Benedict and the Godfather omelet. Everything is always delicious. They have lunch and dinner type selections also and serve cocktails after 12 noon. It has fast become my go to stop on my way back to PA from NYC. Be patient, be kind and you won't be disappointed. Even the landscape is whimsical with statues of children playing hidden all around the castle like building.“
“Park Wayne diner is my go-to diner. The food there is always on point. Large portions and maticulously made. The service is equally as impeccable. The owners/hostess/host and staff are very detailed, funny, kind and attentive. I am never disappointed. I highly recommend it.“
“Nice staff, friendly waiter, and enjoyable food. We had some soups to start, then some breakfast items, and added some sides like bacon, etc. Everything was good. Prices were more reasonable than some other diners we have been to so we would happily go back another time we are in the area.“
“This, Diner has been here for more than 20 years. It was our first visit. We were greeted with a bright cherry hello! Our server was friendly and efficient. The prices are amazing! Everything is so expensive after the pandemic but at The Ridgedale Diner the prices were great! The place is clean! I had a cheeseburger deluxe, and it was good. Not great but okay. The french fries were the skinny kind. Not my favorite. The pickles were excellent! And we liked the coleslaw. My husband had a waffle, and he liked it very much! We're coming back to try more things!“
“The food was top notch! Best onion rings, phenomenal!! Best batter around. The burger was a generous size, done to perfection and on a fresh, soft Kaiser roll. Tara, our server was very attentive and she was such a great worker. It has a local feel and even had an outlet along with built in usb charging ports.“
“Amazing food, great customer service and very clean restaurant. I get food here at least once a week and have never had any problems. If you miss Libbys Lunch on McBride Ave, this is the place for you. The owner was the head cook at Libbys for many years so its just as good if not better, especially since its Halal!“
“Have been here about 5 times now. Whenever I need to head into Manhattan I swing by on the way home. Great food and the bakery items are insane. Every dessert you can imagine. The soup is always great. 5 stars all the way. It's a busy place Whenever I've shown up so be prepared to wait. But it's worth the wait.“
“WOWW! What an experience... I went on Thursday afternoon and it was starting to pick up early dinner. I was pretty hungry so I ordered an Eggs Benedict and an order of pancakes. The eggs Benedict was one of the best I have had in a long time. The English muffin was toasted to perfection. The pancakes were the best pancakes I have had hands down, they were so fluffy and loaded with strawberries. They DO NOT skimp on portions here. I was so content with my meal that I got a slice of Canoli Cheesecake to go that sent me into a deep food coma. The service was incredible as it was my first time there. I will definitely return to this diner. The manager Mike gave me a great table and was super friendly, great guy. My server Astrid was very attentive and helped guide me through the options on the extensive menu. I recommend everyone come here if you are looking for an AWESOME diner!!!!!!!“
“A standard NJ diner experience! We enjoyed our abundant, tasty salads. The waitress was very accommodating; she helped us change to a more comfortable table. They also offer quality rye bread that we can't get in Massachusetts as well as gigantic and yummy linzer tarts!Parking: Conveniently located off of route 10.“
“Located at an intersection between Goffle Road and Wagaraw Road, forming a triangle, my partner and I had lunch at the Hawthorne Diner as first-timers. Upon entering, the interior was small and simple, but it had plenty of booths as well as a bar and was clean. There were a few tables in the back where we sat promptly. Their menu had everything one wanted or needed at a typical Jersey diner. There were plenty of breakfast choices, as well as wraps, sandwiches, and dinner options. We decided on something light and went for the broccoli cheddar potato skins and 1/2 tuna fish sandwich combo with salad. Good food is served in a timely fashion and at a decent price. Our server was friendly and attentive. We can recommend this place.“
“My first time going during mid-November -- I stopped by around noon, and the place was pretty crowded, but still lots of available seating! I ordered the eggs Benedict -- the avocado option, which was a healthier alternative than the regular one with muffin. -- it had so much delicious hollandaise sauce. My partner ordered the Hillery Street house special from the breakfast platter menu, which has two large pancakes, eggs, and bacon strips. We also ordered (not pictured) hot chocolate with whipped cream and regular coffee with milk--- the milk is served in this cute sealed small glass container. Overall, it is a family-friendly place with great service and tasty brunch options with sizeable portions. We definitely see ourselves returning to try more of their breakfast menu. Ps: Nicely decorated with an autumn theme not just outside the entrance but all over the restaurant.“
“Jimmy and Bernice work the wee hours of the morning to make everything fresh every day. From the Friday corn beef hash for breakfast ( sells out early) to the best fresh burgers. Homemade soups. While I worked in the area I ate lunch there every day for about 40 years. Miss eating there they made you feel like family.“
“Nevada Diner has been around for generations. The breakfast is great like most diners. I tried the chicken parm sandwich wih garlic bread and it was actually delicious! The bread was so soft and buttery and the chicken tastes great! Would definitely buy again. The loaded fries were good too. Though I would prefer to have them topped with sour cream and green onions for their price. Overall, good place to eat.“
“Food was very good! Ordered brunch... French toast and a bacon and sausage omelette. My wife ordered fried chicken, but they were out of that, so she got the chicken tenders and fries, which was very good. Also, our meals were done in a very timely manner, and were hot as you would expect.So, Central Restaurant gets 4 thumbs ups from my wife Tina and myself! ????“
“Very delicious, I have never scarfed food down so fast as I did that day. Amazing from the French toast to the whip cream. This great dish was the napoleon french toast. Made with strawberries, bananas, walnuts and whipped cream. The best touch to the dish was for sure the whip cream.You get to sit anywhere you’d like. You get serviced pretty quickly after seating yourself. QR code menu. Pay at the counter. Free parking in the rear.Slowly working the way to knowing the area a bit more for family recommendations when they visit.Parking: Parking lot is the first right opening after passing the restaurant. You will see a sign. But of course metered parking also if you find any.“
“Very pleasant team working there. My server was very kind, polite, and kept my drink filled. I had the turkey club triple decker with fries, which was really good. The fries were perfectly crisp. I would recommend you take a visit if you're hungry.“
“The Park West Diner had excellent food and a very reasonable and the waitress that wait on me her name was Sonia she was very pleasant and she offered if I wanted any more coffee and I said yes she's very nice and it was very pleasant and the place was very “
“Very nice place, people here are so nice. Food was delicious. Lots of included stuff with the meal. I might got ice cream with chocolate cake which was delicious and I got roast chicken for dinner, which was very good value of for all the food which was unbelievable value and the waiter is very kind.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly with many options“
“Located in the quaint town of Madison, NJ. We had a party of 3.Food: Disco fries were good, but have had better. More gravy would have made them excellent. We had them as an appetizer ($8.25 for a large). We had Alpine chicken sandwich, turkey sloppy Joe, and a BLT. All were good with a sizable portion. Classic diner food with a broad menu.Service: service was attentive and polite, however, nothing over the top.Atmosphere: clean seating area with booths, tables, and counter service. Bathrooms were clean too, to me “clean bathrooms “ say something about the kitchen cleanliness ?♂️.Summary: great place to have a business meeting or lunch with a friend. Sits in downtown Madison, so you can walk around town and check out all the small shops.Parking: Parking available in the rear of building“
“I have been here a couple times in the last year. On a weeknight you can always get a big spacious booth. It is great for conversation, the acoustics are good. Omelettes are usually my go to, as I love them for dinner. Tonight I had a Gyro dinner platter and it was tasty. Good bargain if you go with the specials. The service was good, waiter kept checking with us.“
“I got the an omelette and it was very delicious. The server was a ginger woman(I didn’t get the name). She was very nice and was often checking up on us seeing how the food was. She food was all very good. And I had a great time dining here!“
“Nothing is worse than a breakfast sandy that's 80% bread and 20% BEC. Well, FPD did NOT disappoint. After a night out, all I wanted the next morning to revive my soul was a turkey sausage EC sandy. I didn't know where to go, so I tried FPD for a change and their sandy was PACKED with sausage, egg & cheese and the flavor was good too. Cured my hangover. 10/10“
“I discovered Montclair Diner through DoorDash and I have ordered from here many times and I am very satisfied with the quality of all the items relative to the price. DoorDash pricing is getting out of control and Montclair Diner is one of the few spots that still have reasonable prices and good quality. I usually order breakfast like pancakes, omelettes, breakfast sandwiches, and coffee and I have been happy with the orders. There are a few more items on the menu that I really want to try out including the crab cakes Benedict, shrimp and grits, and burgers and I look forward to that.“
“We visited The West Essex Diner on a bustling Sunday morning, arriving around noon. Despite the crowd, we were seated within a brief 10-minute wait, which was understandable given the rush. However, the dining experience left much to be desired. I ordered a classic breakfast featuring sunny-side-up eggs with a side of steak and home fries, accompanied by toast and coffee. My friend opted for a western omelet paired with French toast. Disappointingly, the French toast lacked powdered sugar, and despite requesting jelly, our waiter seemed to disappear.The food, unfortunately, was rather lackluster, lacking any distinctive flavor or appeal. While the service was initially prompt, our waiter was notably absent after serving our meals, only reappearing when we requested the check. It was then that he offered more coffee, but by that point, I was already ready to leave. Overall, the experience felt ordinary, and the food failed to surpass what I could have easily prepared at home with more flavor.“
