I came here with my partner and it was our first time stopping by here and we wanted to try something new together. I didn't really feel comfortable with my waitress, she was rushing to serve others and as a result I did not get the quality or service I was expecting. The food was super bland and I read other reviews it seems to be the case. Also their coffee wasnt that good, honestly never coming back here again.

Stuff I Bought

Ok. I read the reviews and thought this would be a nice alternative diner for me and my family. Seemed like a no brainer. So many great reviews here. Sorry, but they’re wrong. My husband and I went three weeks ago and won’t be returning. Relieved I didn’t have my kids or mother-in-law with us. Why did I order fish? It had no flavor. Tasted like a frozen fish that was reheated. And the side veg was overcooked. The meal my husband had, a burger, was overcooked. And for the total cost it just wasn’t worth it at all. This diner is so middle of the road and the quality of food was like a college cafeteria. Sorry. No. Maybe go for the breakfast menu—eggs, toast, pancakes. I don’t know. I do know that I won’t be going back.

Great food with big portions

Staff is friendly, welcoming and minimal wait when packed. Food is delicious and good amount of food. Their benedicts are delicious and their Cesar wrap. Our waiter was always attentive and the atmosphere was friendly and good.

Meh...Overcooked poached eggs, old burnt coffee, slow service (only 5 or so customers) I wouldn't recommend this place.

If you order on line for pick up, they add a mandatory tip you can’t remove, without notice.

Been a few times with our kids. Food is always great; I've gotten two different pasta specials and they have both been delicious. Service is great, everyone is very friendly and sweet with the kids.

I recently had brunch here at The West Essex Diner and it was nothing short of amazing! The service is top tier with our server Mia being so attentive & patient. We had the Irish Benedict & the chicken with rice. Both items were great! 10/10 recommend

Went to the diners tonight with a friend been there hundreds of times for different meals. My meal is fine my friend ordered London broil Sandwich which was inedible call the manager over And he said there is nothing he could do as she ate two bites. He was not nice or friendly about it at all should have taken something off the bill at least it was not nice at all do not ever ever order, London broil
