“Being from Keyport, broad street diner is one of the most popular and iconic restaurants in our town. When you step into this diner it feels like a journey back in time, with its retro decor and friendly atmosphere. I was seated on a stool and really felt that retro vibe. Within 5-10 minutes I got my food, the waitress was very nice and attentive even when it was a packed house. My order of two eggs were cooked to perfection. The eggs were accompanied by a generous portion of golden-brown home fries and corned beef hash. Overall, my experience at Broad Street Diner was nothing short of delightful. From the friendly service to the delicious food, every aspect exceeded my expectations. My meal cost me about $22 dollars with tip which isn't bad because of how good and the amount of food I was given.“

“Vegetarian options: I really loved the omelets. A very nice variety of them to choose from. Not only was there a great variety for vegetarians, if I didn't like what was offered I could build my own. I had no problem finding something to eat here.“

“This cute little local favorite was a delight. I got stuck here in Ford, NY due to a break down with my truck so I decided to try the local cafe! I loved it, food was good and fulfilling while I listened to the local chatter from the patrons! The service was awesome and even the cook came by to say "hi"! (Hard to find this in So Cal) If you're in the area and want something that kinda takes you back to a simpler time I think you'll like Colonial Restaurant“

“Irene was super sweet and helpful. Very attentive! The cooks are great. I love coming here, it is One of my favorite diners on the island! Cant go wrong with any of the options especially the turkey club, Greek wrap or salad! Dine in or out, food is ALWAYS fresh!“

“Great vibes from with a small town feel.Service great and food came out quick!Didn’t love the corned beef hash (texture and flavor), but everything else was classic and hit the spot.Vegetarian options: Clear description on what’s what to make informed choices“

“No frills, throwback diner. Both in the ambience and the prices, which seem frozen in the early 2000s. Cash only, often with a line this is a local institution that's worth visiting if you enjoy crab benedict. Our little ones also like the French toast.“

“First impressions, we were greeted with a warm welcome the moment we walked in the door. The menu has so many options there is something for everyone. One great cup of coffee to start. Service with a smile from the owner to the wait staff. Atmosphere is warm and welcoming everyone is friends here and seems like there are no strangers here. Now let’s talk food. We chose from the breakfast menu and let me tell you right now WOW. We ate like kings and queens at little cost. We definitely did not walk away hungry. I am a grits fan and they came out perfect, not to wet and not to dry just right. So from the Wilson family we say thank you Seaport Diner for such a wonderful experience. If we are ever in the area again we will 100% be returning.“

“I had to stop by to write this review! I ordered the honey garlic and the honey buffalo chicken wings for the Super Bowl and boy I wasn’t disappointed!!! It was finger licking good and I was so surprised that we had no left overs and our guest was inquiring about this place because it was so good. The wings were cooked to perfection, not hard or burnt under the sauce just a nice crisp that made everything so enjoyable. The owner was super sweet and the round tray that she put everything in was very professional. I’ll definitely be coming back to try some more food on her menu along with the wings. Thank you so much because of you guys my party was a success! I’ll see you again sooner than later.“

“I had my bridal shower at Z-Two on Sunday. The food was amazing and the staff was great. Debbie went above and beyond for me and was extremely attentive. She really helped make my experience there that much better. Thankyou!!! I highly recommended Z-Two for your next party!!“

“This diner's service is always great. I think there is so much to choose from it can be intimidating. When it was time to pay the check, I noticed their new pay system had already added a 15% tip to the bill. I think tipping should ALWAYS be the discretion of the patron. Because my server was great, I didn't have a problem paying the 15%. I wonder if her tip is shared. FYI, you can change the tip amount at the register, but ya'll need to pay attention.Food at this diner is always yummy. The staff is great and at my visit they were on top of everything. There is someone ready to clear your plate if you're done. Our server was attentive. Making sure if we needed anything else during our meal.Kid-friendliness: They have paper placemats for kids to doodle while waiting for their meal.“

“I stopped here simply searching for a Diner on my route home from New York…so glad I did. The food was excellent, the owner is on premises and really nice, and he was training a new employee and was a gentleman training her. And the corn muffins (baked on site) are the best I’ve had. 5 Stars all day!! AND they were featured on Diner, Drive-Ins and Dives.“

“I came in & ordered eggs,? sausage, bacon ? and a burger patty w cheese ?. It was delicious.

“It's a very small, unassuming place with limited seating but the service is good and so if the food! I went for breakfast and really enjoyed my french toast, scrambled eggs, and beef bacon everything was delicious! Honestly, better than I expected! Don't judge a book by its cover! Sorry there's no photos or videos, I was starving and had to eat before the camera this time“

“While the food is very good, the service always spot on, very nice sized portions, and priced right, for me the main feature is the diner itself!It's like stepping back in time; diners like this are becoming more rare to find, and I'm glad this old girl is still holding up!Parking: Parking can b a bit difficult during peak hours because the place does good business. Go a little before traditional lunch or breakfast hours and you should be ok.“

“I love this Diner. My wife and I come here to eat often. Look for Waitresses Eleni and Margaret they provide one of a kind service. The food is a large serving at an affordable price. I normally get a panini and with the French fries, that I can't ever finish. It's also tasty and they have the best fries in the world. I highly recommend eating here.The only feedback I can give is the Diner can use some music to liven up the room. It can be quiet at times.Parking: Behind the restaurant“

One time the chef showed me an ingredient he used to make something I ordered.Small parking lot and street parking.Parking: Small parking lot“

“Park Wood Diner is the first restaurant my family visited when we started fencing in Maplewood. They have expanded their hours over the last year, which makes it incredibly convenient to pick up sandwiches for dinner after practice.

The girls got kids meals which were large sized, I got. A grilled cheese and fries.Kid-friendliness: YesWheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“I go to this place from time to time to have breakfast and i gotta say its great! The food here is delicious...they have a variety of breakfast platters that would really satisfy any customer. The service is good, only thing is that it gets packed after that early morning school rush. But other than that i really dont have any complaints. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to get great breakfast options at a great price!“

“I visit this place about once a month. The staff is friendly it gives a kind of homely ambience. The food is good I haven't had a complaint yet the prices are ok I feel like they may b a tad bit too much but with inflation in mind it's very reasonable. Nice size portions especially if you eat in.“

“Loved it!My brother prefers Denny's over IHOP, and he treated us allI hadn't been to Denny's since Circuit City was a booming business in Emeryville, CA.Thoroughly enjoyed my buttermilk pancakes, sliced ham, and the sausage was not your average sausage! It makes other sausages bland. Had a little kick, and a lot of flavor!Eggs tasted like eggs used to taste like.Buttermilk were really buttermilk pancakes, texture and flavor from old school, long ago. If I didn't mention the warmed syrup AND butter, forgive me! To! Die! For!Our waitress was WONDERFUL! Been there a while. As a former waitress, I always tip more than 20%, when we are treated very well, and I did!The atmosphere was very enjoyable. Slow, not crowded. Very family oriented. No wild child children - very respectful children.Enjoy, and please don't forget to tip your waitstaff. Times are harder and soon, they too will be replaced by robots, as some restaurants have already begun using robots to deliver food to the tables ?Vegetarian options: My brother eats primarily vegetarian meals, but with fish and egg whites. This is why he prefers Denny'sParking: Wasn't crowded. Enough parking when we visited.Wheelchair accessibility: Mother's in a wheelchair but we pulled her in her rolling walker instead.“

“Def one of the best gyros I’ve had. I got the Greek fire gyro. Very good and huge. My only complaint which I never said anything was I had the matzo ball soup and there was egg shell in the matzo ball. It was gross. Hate that. Need to pay attention back there. Also pricey.“

“I've said it before, I'll say it again, NJ is known for its exceptional diners.. and I judge them by how good their coffee is. Miss America diner hits all the spots. Not only was the coffee full bodied and delicious, but the food was equally delicious. I came with a family of 6 on Easter morning at around 10:30 am. No waiting, no huge crowd. We had French toast, beef sausage, link sausage, pork bacon, grits, eggs, a bacon omelet, chicken fingers and fries - all of which was so simply delicious. There was nothing fancy about the place and its tiny but it's places like those that come through with some yummy for the tummy. The waitress was nice, got our order on point and I'd definitely be here again. We were so hungry we forgot pics but I'll be back.Vegetarian options: They have meatless options that could be vegetarian. As far as vegan options I did see salads and fruit and vegetables on the menu.Parking: There is a lot in front of the diner.Kid-friendliness: I came with my children. My baby was able to have a high seat, and I believe that there is a kid part of the menu although we didn't order from it.“

“I've only gotten food to go, but the soups, wraps and sandwiches have been delicious. My only complaint is being asked if I want to leave a tip..maybe? But being put on the spot is awkward, and I feel inappropriate, and my $8.88 small soup then becomes a $10 or $11 expenditure, which is too much, IMO.“

“We waited at our table reviewing the menu, literally next moment we were ordering coffee and our menu items. Wonderful service and great food !!Parking: Parking lot is a narrow lot minimally accessible spaces, however it’s free and there’s additional spaces on the sides and back of the building“

“Food was great! Service was slow, our table wasn't greeted and we had to flag the guy down to order. Not the waiters fault, I felt bad for him. They should hire a couple more waitstaff or schedule more waitstaff, one waiter and a busboy were taking care of the whole diner, like 12 tables. Especially during lunchtime when you know it's going to be busy.“

“A Hidden Gem on Staten IslandI recently visited Colonnade Diner on Staten Island 2001 Hylan blvd and was pleasantly impressed. The food was exceptional, with a wide variety of options to choose from. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. The prices were very reasonable.I've also noticed that they had a nicely designed banquet or ballroom room that can be used for larger events, with seating for 150 guests.I highly recommend this diner to anyone looking for delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere.Vegetarian options: Lots of green foodParking: Lots of space right under the Colonnade Diner + more parking on the side.Kid-friendliness: Many kid friendly food options.Wheelchair accessibility: Elevator is available“
