For work, I travel in and through many states regularly including but NOT limited to: all of the New England States, NY, NJ, DE, MD, DC, VA, NC, SC, GA, TN, KY, OH, MI, and PA. During my travels, I have dined at a lot of diners and Tops Diner is definitely one of the best diners in the entire United States PERIOD! On my most recent visit on 11/05/2024 Sara was our server and she was friendly, very attentive, helpful and just fabulous! I went there with my wife and best friend for a belated birthday dinner. All of the food was delicious, fresh, served hot and fast. I was born and raised in Newark, New Jersey and this legacy diner still reigns supreme!

“Had breakfast there twice. Once solo and the next time with my wife. Consecutive Tuesdays. Just there this morning, after the golf range at Chelsea Piers. It's a combination of Greek and Mexican specialties. I have sampled the eggs overeasy with corned beef and this time had three poached eggs with fresh tomato and feta, home fries and coffee. All wonderful. My wife had fried eggs with ham on top of grilled taco. She loved it. This is a top notch diner with excellent service.“

“I went to this diner, and I had the Norwegian salmon medium rare with a couple of sides, and it was sooooo delicious. Their original cappuccino was also tasty; the coffee they use was very smooth. Anna was just wonderful. She was friendly, professional and so nice serving us. Thank you so much. Definitely coming back!“

“excellent service and food!!!!“

“An incredible breakfast! Hot coffee, real maple syrup, delicious sausage and eggs and toast done to perfection. The wait staff were friendly and attentive and the other patrons were all enjoying their food as well, nice level of buzz and chatter but not too loud. Perfect place to start your day. Beautiful photos from a local artist above the counter. Love the seasonal decor for Halloween.“

“I order delivery and pickup from this place often. It’s a simple little diner with excellent food and service. And for manhattan I’d say the prices are pretty decent. Everyone is always so nice and gets my orders right every time. They also make homemade salsa, if you ask nicely they might serve you some.“

“Delicious huge sandwiches. Two of us ordered two sandwiches (cod, and eggplant parm We had lunch and dinner. Both were delicious. The service was excellent as well. The atmosphere was very sparse. It’s definitely a place to eat a good inexpensive meal, it’s not a place to go for ambiance. I definitely would recommend stopping by, but bring your appetite.“

“excellent service and food!!!!“

“their pastrami on rye, of course. But you have to stick to your guns and order just 1 and share it with a date when a waitress will recommend or insist you order two. One order is enough for two really“

“What a great and convenient place to have lunch or breakfast. I truly enjoy the sandwiches and soups. My favorite is beef barley on Tuesdays. Chicken noodle fills the bill any day with different pastas to satisfy your palate. Friendly service and just a great place to eat. Come and enjoy your meal, it will truly be worth it.!!!“

“man they was great I would definitely be back seriously shucks breakfast links was great and fat lol wife and family enjoyed ever in NYC go by there tell them big daddy sent you lol“

“The staff at Old Johns were welcoming and efficient even though we unfortunately arrived late. The service was quick and helpful by Evelyn , with close attention paid to allergies which was really nice to see. The breakfast burrito was amazing, slightly spicy with crispy potatoes on the side, plus a very fresh
OJ. Couldn't of had a better start to our day.“

“Great chili dogs and fries from The Prince of Bayway!“

“Found Legends because we were coming from out of state to Jets game and taking local train to stadium from Secaucus. Very friendly staff and terrific home fries!“

“A real find in a heavily industrial stretch of Elizabeth. Grits are always an unexpected and welcome side dish option, at least up north and these come with wither cheese or butter. Hash was the perfect mix of crispy and soft. Good coffee also. Waitstaff is charmingly brisk. Anyone waiting near EWR should definitely head over.“

“Jersey City's finest! best sliders anywhere! Classic!“

“Absolutely great welcome, service and good A+“

“Nice atmosphere and everything tasted wonderful. The only thing that would make this place better would be mimosas!“

“Union Street Cafe is an old school diner with an amazingly affordable menu of solid choices. CASH ONLY. Pancakes, egg sandwiches, burgers, turkey clubs, tuna melts, coffee, pastries all make the menu. It's a small place, mostly 4 top tables. Would be difficult to accommodate groups larger than that unless you came off peak. Ambiance is very casual and a little retro. Service was understandably a little frantic on a busy Saturday and very friendly. Staff is bilingual (Spanish).CASH ONLY.“

“Everything exceeded my expectations! Went on a Wednesday night. Service was top notch, everything we ordered was really enjoyable, and the atmosphere was cool. Overall a fun and luxurious vibe. Definitely recommend the French Dip and Tagliatelle Bolognese.“

“20240220::i love these small local diners. i got the burger(ok, premade), and pankakes(i love pankakes as much as i love burgers). an order of pasta and alfredo, it wasn't bad(took a while cause they had to make the pasta midday. at least its fresh. need to try their omlettes and home “

“I lived in this neighborhood for almost 10 years without noticing it until recently! I have to let you know that I fell in love with this place after the first Brunch I had with them on Jan2,2023! And then a few times after that . It's the cutest little spot with amazing food. This cozy restaurant has left the best impressions! Hospitable hosts: the host made me feel welcomed. Even though they are very busy, everyone pay attention to your needs , always efficient and polite . delicious dishes: I enjoyed every single bite of the meal ! -Soup and pasta were so flavorful. -Best Buffalo wings I ever had -- so so crunchy outside, moist and tender inside AND BEST IF ALL , I am so grateful you put the sauce on the Side , so I can adjust the tangy and spicy taste depending on my preference -Cheeseburger grilled perfectly , so juicy and mouthwatering. -Waffle: mine was golden-brown in color, with a crispy outer texture and a soft interior. - grilled cheese sandwich : perfectly toasted slices stuffed with melting cheese ,It’s worth every single last crumb! and , extensive menu : breakfast, lunch and dinner menu , from comfort food to vegetarian options. They also offer wine , juices, coffee and tea So ,Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant , Highly recommend! I would definitely come back here again and again.“

“Best waitresses around! Great Greek burger Gyros excellent Great fries Eggs fast and perfect The cooks can make anything And make it perfect!! Dessert are the best around!! Cakes are to die for“

“I am so happy to have a place like this in my area. Small, friendly, comfortable and welcoming and the food is great. Proud to say I am a regular.“

“Generous amount of food. I ordered Turkey, which is one of the dishes I rate diners on. Compared to other diners, this is a bit above average. However, even with loads of gravy (they gave me a bowl full) and with a mild stuffing, I felt it was a little bland. Good for people on a low-salt diet? I needed to add a lot of pepper and some salt. I still would have liked a more savory taste. Nevertheless, the portion was big and the "side salad" was more like a mini salad entree. Take a look at the pictures. Wait staff was very nice. Lots of people there on a Sunday morning, so you may have to wait. Price is slightly high, but then everything is compared to a few years ago. BUT I'd rather pay more for this kind of quality. I will go back when I am in the area again.“
