It’s a diner, and I will review it in the context of the genre :) should you go out of your way to eat here? No. It’s a regular diner. Is it a good option if you’re in the neighborhood? Sure. The classic “everything but the sink” menu / portions. Everyone enjoyed the food, it arrived quickly and the kids especially loved their dishes (chicken fingers, fries, hot dog… hey, they COULD have had veggies with that! But when in Rome… or a NJ diner…)
The server was super nice and efficient, and there’s an extra half star there for the constant refill of my coffee. My husband said “it’s like going to eat at your grandma’s and also it’s 1980” - some like it, others don’t :)

Well I’m in for a roast again this place is absolutely awful after 20 years of trying to come back and think it was gonna be great I wish I had mistaken by the hinting flavor of Clorox bleach old food and pancake mixed waffle mix as a substitute for what I would not call pancakes. Definitely very disappointed upscale atmosphere is obviously fueled by these prices and terrible food not going to return here.

I called and even spoke to the manager himself and he still managed to mess it up, the toast was burnt, I had asked for onions & peppers in my home fries and he put it in the eggs, I scrapped it off. Then I had ordered a CHICKEN Cesar salad. It came with no chicken and was charged almost 16$ for basically lettuce. Disappointing. My pit bull didn’t even want it

We had lunch on s Sunday afternoon (about 1:45) when google maps said it was very busy. None-the-less, we were seated promptly and our order was taken by a friendly waitress. The breakfast menu is separate and we had to ask to see it. My husband had a pastrami & corn beef, which was full of lean meat with steamed vegs, rather than fries (save a few calories) which were not overdone. I had the Reuben and when I asked for light on the Russian she said it is always on the side - smart. It was full of kraut, meat and cheese. Both of us were sated and each took 1/2 our sandwich home! Companions had omelets, which they both finished. One asked for her toast dry but the other didn't so it came with buttered, not on the side - disappointing but not a big deal.
The bill for all four us was $58. $6 for 2 large cola, 3% if you use a credit or debit). When we visit the graves again it is a great place to sit and talk (nice booths and not too loud- no background music, which we appreciate.

Very rude owner. Unpleasant experience. He treated guests like dirt. We asked him for a copy of the check and he got very annoyed and ignored our request. Food was Ok, could have been better and less expensive but the owner’s unwelcoming attitude and cursing at his stuff and talking badly about other costumers ruined our experience. Never coming there again.
Editing this post to address the response from the business. The price of the food and quality were not as much of the issue as the attitude of the owner. A gentleman behind the cash register ruined our entire experience. I would have never written such a negative review just about the food. Even beautiful Easter decorations are not going to change our bad memories of visiting this place. Thank you. Be safe and healthy.

Admittedly, it was a first visit and I ordered pancakes. Pancakes were good, but I asked for butter on the side yet they came out pre'buttered'. Not that big a deal, but still, it was a simple enough request.
Will I come back? Sure, but I won't go out of my way to return.

Ratings don't lie. The food is delicious. The place is decorated lovely and it is clean. The employees are friendly. Prices are reasonable. I will definitely go back!

Got 2 burgers, one for my fiancé and one for myself. His fries were raw and my burger came raw with a stale bun. Very disappointing.
