“Very good breakfast and deserts, especially for people with a sweet-tooth like myself. The waitresses were friendly, even though it was a holiday. As for atmosphere, I always enjoy diners with that classic 50s/60s feeling, even if I was not alive during those times lmao. Altogether, this is a lovely eatery that I will definitely come back to in the near future.“
“Under the title “Never judge a book by it’s cover”, the Hightstown Diner delivers in a big way. I’ll admit I headed here due to a Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives episode however that “chapter ” of the Hightstown is closed. Open is this new incarnation which does not disappoint.I ordered the Greek Salad and enjoyed it thoroughly. The vegetables were fresh and flavorful. The olives magnificent, the Feta was so fresh I wondered if it was house-made, the dressing sublime. Crisply toasted Pita triangles adorned the plate for a great contrast and beautiful presentation.The price could not have been fairer, the service was friendly and quick.Vegetarian options: Not a “vegan/vegetarian” menu, however the kitchen stocks a great assortment of fresh vegetables. More options to me than most.“
“the servers here are an actual beam of light in this dark and cold world. i've never had servers more kind, helpful, and enthusiastic at any other diner. you may think i'm exaggerating - but go see for yourself.additionally, the food is delicious, the prices are reasonable, and the environment is very homey. i'm definitely going to make this a regular spot whenever i pass by.“
“This is my town diner and every time we go there, the experience is great.2024.01: I just came here for an omelet, but decided to get the Jersey eggs Benedict. Essentially the Canadian bacon is swapped out for Pork roll.It was fantastic: salty, tangy and creamy. It was cooked perfectly, and at my table less than 5 minutes.I was impressed.“
“the most amazing diner anyone can ever come to, i was in such a bad mood but the manager, Murat, and my server, Dom turned my frown upside down. i loved every bite of my food it was so delicious even though a little salt wouldn’t hurt. they were as sweet as their cappuccino, you won’t regret your experience especially with Dom as your serve! Erin was also such a sweetheart she was also checking in on me every chance she got, 10/10“
“This place is amazing! It used to be on the main drag many years ago, but somehow it lasted over the years. It has great food and super friendly staff. We went in there and I told them that we have never been here before. The server walked us through all the items on the menu and was very friendly.On the menu they have interesting items that you would not expect at a diner. I had a cajon dish that had crab and eggs. It was great. There are a lot more options too.Inside the restaurant it is still decorated in the old 1950s style. It has cast aluminum fixtures including doors and trim along the bar. It has classic styling that has years of use, but the restaurant is still clean and in good condition. In one of my photos notice the old table top and the old plastic leather chairs from the 1950s. It is really neat to see this all still in use today.Parking: The parking lot is large and has room to turn around.“
“I haunted Golden Dawn as a teen, and now, many years later, it is still great ! The BLT I ordered was overflowing with bacon. My waitress took great care of me and was so nice! It is amazing that they have maintained such high standards for over 25 years.“
“It is what you make of it. Typical dining hall food. Not very good quality. Meat is usually dry and overcooked and the salad bar gets very repetitive and oftentimes soggy, but the soft serve ice cream machine is great. The music/radio is so loud though, makes for an unenjoyable atmosphere.“
“I've only ever gotten take out for breakfast, never dined in. First off, portions are insane for the omelet!!! You get more than your money's worth. Staff is always kind and patient. I usually get grubhub deliveries from here. And I can say they always remember who you are. It is fun to go and get food for myself. Not a grubhub pickup, and see the look on the one girl's face when she panics and sees there isn't an order. Nope just for me, I'm eating today ?“
“Food was nicely cooked and arrived hot (as both meals should have.) A delicious cup of soup was included with each lunch special. I was very disappointed when I was told that I would be charged for an iced tea refill. I wonder if they charge for a second cup of coffee with breakfast in the mornings?“
“I love New Jersey diners. Soooo much quality food for a decent price. This building is a little bit outdated but the service was immaculate. The waitress was friendly and the food was delivered quickly. I would absolutely recommend this place.“
