Lamp Post Diner

We came her for a group lunch hangout after an Earth Day Cleanup hike. It’s recommended by a team member who said that this was her favorite restaurant. It’s indeed quite a nice and spacious restaurant. Service was good, food was delicious. My chicken parmigiana was very good as the chicken was crispy outside but very tender and juicy inside. The food portions are all huge, everyone only finished half portion. Didn’t order dessert but they looked so yummy. 😋 You may need to make a reservation to avoid waiting on line. But you won’t be seated until your group people have all arrived. Parking is not a problem at all. Would go back again if there’s a chance. Will also recommend it to friends.

The appearance of this diner is appealing, in fact it is huge. They were super busy when we went and there were many “regulars” in there. If it wasn’t for the food, I would have rated it much higher. I ordered mozzarella sticks for an appetizer. The sauce was good but the mozzarella sticks were doughy and not cooked very well. The waitress says that they just started using new mozzarella sticks. I wouldn't get them again. I ordered a grilled cheese with bacon and curly fries. First, I rarely come across places that serve curly fries so this was a huge plus for me. The sandwich, however, was greasy and I had to take most of the bacon off because it was undercooked and rubbery. Finally, I ordered a danish and an apple turnover to go. They were both rock hard and had very little flavor. I was disappointed because they advertise a bakery so I thought I would get bakery quality. The one thing I did like is that they had all of the bakery items individually wrapped. I would give the diner one more try but I definitely will not be ordering bakery items. They do have a really large menu, so I can try something new!

Don’t know where to start with this place! It was a great experience overall! Michelle was a wonderful server and very attentive and really went above and beyond. The wait was about 10 mins for 2 of us. The food was cooked perfectly and tasted great! It was clean, and has a lot of room inside. Paying at the cashier was pretty simple but the line was a tad long. I will be back for sure. The pork roll was cooked to perfection, and really made my trip to New Jersey worth it!

Great food!!! I really enjoyed everything we ate. It all tasted so fresh. I am someone who likes to get Creamed Chopped Beef at a diner which by lunchtime can sometimes taste reheated. Mine was delicious. It tasted as if they made it freshly just for me. The home fries were delicious too and again tasted as if they were custom made for me. We also ordered onion rings and got a huge amount. The same honestly with everything we ordered. I gave them only 4 stars instead of 5 because we ordered a Panini and it did not look or taste like a Panini. It was more of a sandwich on a roll with grill lines. It was delicious, don't get me wrong, but when you want a Panini and get something else, it was disappointing. We didn't say anything because they were very nice and really busy. The staff was very nice. They were so very helpful.
