This place was so cute and simple and just what you want need a in a diner. I love coming down the shore in Sept & Oct. we stayed at the Asbury Ocean Club and walked across the street to this adorable diner. They serve great food & drinks. We had an omelette and home fries and the food was very fresh and home fries very crunchy! I loved my cup of tea. They had a variety of flavored teas as well. 10/10 recommend!

Arianah made our 2nd time visiting (Greetings from) Asbury Park, N.J. a super special experiance. The fun and cozy atmosphere of the diner amplified by Arianah's kind demeanor & vibes served as the perfect denouement to an early October morning at the beach on our way down for a few days in AC.
Food was great too, and given the neighborhood, quite affordable! Plus they passed my one test for ANY resturaunt or Diner, no matter how big or small and regardless of # of $-signs: The butter packets were fresh, real, and ROOM TEMPERATURE FOR EASY SPREADING. Ruth's Chris: Take notes.
10/10 will return to the Asbury Diner next time we come thru. Thanks again Arianah for a stellar experiance!

No phone, you can't even order out you have to go there and wait. Ok, so I went in to order a d guess what? The menu on their Google page is outdated, they don't even have the food items my staff wants. For a business that sells food to go they sure aren't very good at it.... wasted a ton of time

This place is beyond unorganized. Took forever to get super expensive mediocre food and multiple tables never got some items ordered. Seems consistent with reviews elsewhere. Our waiter was very nice but it was just beyond a mess I'm sorry to say.

They were having a photo shoot which was ok, but they acted like we were intrusive. I had the chicken ribs. Meat was dry and fries were old. She never checked on us. I could've used more napkins and more water. But was never asked.

A very nice little diner! Gives big classic diner vibes and is right off the boardwalk, so it's a great spot to visit when you're down the shore. I did miss the presence of a regular burger, but the sliders were very good. Grilled cheese was incredible. Would warn that prices are very much beach prices, so not your average $10 for a burger and fries prices. Be ready!

Nice little diner next to the bowling alley and adjacent to the Asbury hotel. Service was great and the workers were friendly! Had the Asbury breakfast platter, coffee, and juice. Everything was good and felt very "diner authentic". You can charge you the room if you're staying at the hotel which is nice. I didn't try the milkshakes but I wanted to (it was too early)! Maybe next time! Recommend checking it out!
Unfortunately, this was not the experience I was expecting. I made a reservation for my boyfriend and I, and was super excited at first! We went in and loved the old timey atmosphere and went right for a malt milkshake (which was for $12). We ordered sliders thinking they were going to be decent sized ones we saw in pictures online. We got them and they were the size of dollar coins (and for about $17 for 2 sliders)! I ordered bacon jam on the side. When I reminded the waitress to grab it for me after bringing our food out, she said they’re still making the burger topping. I then sat for 15 minutes waiting for my bacon jam and trying to get her attention (we were the only table in there). She came over and asked if we were doing well. Clearly not since I had to wait 15 minutes for a burger topping letting my food get cold. She never checked on us after bringing the jam, never refilled waters. It was overall not the cozy, comfort diner experience I was hoping for. For 2 orders of TINY burgers and fries and one small milkshake, it was over $62! Unfortunately not worth it. Be careful when choosing; the diner and bowing alley are different places!
Wow! This place looks like a dive from the outside, attached to a bowling alley as it is. Omg though. The food is FANTASTIC. I will make it a point to eat here any time I come to the shore. The server we had was also wonderful. I brought a huuuuge party of 9 children and 4 adults and they had us fed quickly and we all loved what we ordered. I am so impressed.

This small dinner has nice service and yummy breakfast items. The bacon jam that accompanies the french toast tacos is fantastic ?; it's a great combination of savory & sweet. The breakfast burrito is delicious as well. The location is close to the beach which is ideal ⛱️

This restaurant took a reservation when they were actually closed for a private event. My partner made a reservation via OpenTable on May 20 for June 8 at 8pm. We planned a weekend trip to Asbury Park for my 40th birthday - we had visited in 2019 and enjoyed a show at Asbury Lanes. We entered at 7:55 and the customers began chiding us: "Leave - this is a wedding!" "You aren't allowed here!" Ok, but we made a reservation that was confirmed via email the day before. A staff member approached us and her first words were "how did you get in here?!" Umm, through the front door, we pointed. She seemed stressed - "this should be locked!" she said. She locked it and stood with us in the vestibule. She seemed incredulous that we made a reservation so my partner showed her our reservation confirmation and emails/texts. She said "I'm sorry but you can't be here - you need to leave." She took a pic of our registration which had my partner's name and contact info. We never heard back, which has prompted me to leave this review a 6 weeks later. My partner shared our sentiments on OpenTable but nothing came from that either. Not only did this put a damper on my 40th Birthday dinner but we were now in an unfamiliar shore town looking for a place to eat at 8pm in summer. No one at Asbury Diner made any effort to fix their mistake.

Excellent service, great food, love the atmosphere. Total old school vibe, and the music was outstanding. Eating breakfast to Earth Wind and Fire and Jay Z is ?

It is a small place. Food is EXCELLENT. They take their time preparing it, probably as they put a lot of attention to detail, so I would not recommend it if you are in a rush. But if you want a relaxing meal with delicious food, I definitely recommend it. I intend to return.
