50 Best Diners near Hackensack

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Chit Chat Diner – Hackensack, NJ

Chit Chat Diner is the perfect late-night spot, open 24 hours with an endless menu to satisfy all your cravings! We tried the quesadillas and the Sampler, and both were hits. The quesadillas were deliciously cheesy, and the Sampler was full of fun bites. The mozzarella sticks were piping hot and fresh, but the fries were a bit cold—just a tiny hiccup. The chicken tenders were juicy, and the sauces? A total game-changer! A real "star" quality with these "little dippers".

Service was spot-on, and the atmosphere has charming McKinsey Childs decor that's inviting while feeling warm and cozy. It’s no wonder this place has been crowned the best diner in New Jersey! I’ll definitely be back the next time those late-night cravings hit. ?“

“I read the reviews before going, honestly some of them turned me off. However, when I went I was greeted by the nicest young lady ever and the service and food was fantastic.

“While in the area trying to kill time, we decided to grab brunch with an outdoor dining since we had our pup with us. Even though their outdoor patio wasn’t setup, there was a single table outside on the corner, which they ended up allowing us to sit at.

Once we sat down, the waitress was quick to bring us utensils and menus. Not only did she bring us water, she also brought ice and water for my dog —this was so generous for her to be so accommodating. For food, I ordered the Breakfast Burrito ($17) while the boyfriend had the Cheeseburger ($16) with Bacon (+$3). Our food came out quickly and they both also came with potato sides. The fries were super crispy and tasty, but the home fries were just ok.

Overall, the food is mediocre here —nothing to run home about. But what stood out to me here is the service with our waiter specifically. She was so helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of the entire time.“

“We were recommended this diner on the plane to New York and it didn't disappoint. Great servers, always smiling and happy to help. Delicious food and a great place to spend some time.“

“If you're in New York and want to have a delicious, well-served breakfast in an atmosphere reminiscent of movies...don't forget to go to JOHNS COFFEE SHOP. I really liked the place, the waiter was very attentive and everything we ordered was good (family - 5 people).

“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.“

“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“

“Delicious food and very nice service from Rebecca. I had a party of 6, with some vegetarians, and someone who had to eat something gentle on the stomach. We sat at the bar and our server, Rebecca, was super nice, attentive, bilingual (which was helpful for our group), and gave great food recommendations.

I ordered the braised short rib 5/5 would order again in a heartbeat, especially for the price. Comes with brasato sauce a lemon vinaigrette, perfect for cutting the richness. Some of our party ordered veggie burgers, others ordered chicken noodle soup. I also ordered a mocha.

Definitely eat here if you’re in the area and in the mood for comfort food this winter!“

“I am absolutely a big fan of this place. The first time I came here was in 2019 when my 25th birthday landed on thanksgiving. My sister and I stumbled upon it so we stopped in for breakfast. They were really nice, the service was quick, and the portions were great. Also super affordable within the city!

I wanted to stop in on my 30th birthday this year which once again fell on thanksgiving. I was with my other sister and the situation was the same. Super nice, quick, great portions, and affordable. We also loved their food and ate every bite. This is now my favorite place in the city and I’m excited to go back every year from now on!“

“A GEM find in Long Island City. Walking distance from our hotel, perfect little diner for breakfast or lunch. We ordered breakfast for lunch:) the pancakes were some of the best we’ve ever had!

“It's tough to put how much I love this place into words, so I will let my buddy (and Chat GPT), ever so eloquently, do it for me.

"At the Empire Luncheonette,
where dreams fry in grease,
The aroma of burgers offers no release.
A dive so lascivious, it pulls you inside,
Where the coffee is bitter, and sins don’t hide.

The fryers hum songs of indulgence and lust,
Hash browns in the air, as your soul collects dust.
Pancakes stack high, syrup drips like a tease,
Every corner whispers, “Stay, won’t you, please?”

A chorus of bacon and oil’s smoky haze
Clings to your coat, your hair, all your days.
You leave reeking of fries, a greasy bouquet,
A badge of your weakness, a scent of delay.

To the massage you go, perfumed by regret,
But the masseuse’s deep sighs won’t let you forget.
For no lavender oil, no calming touch,
Can undo the diner’s indulgent clutch.

So linger if you must, in Empire’s thrall,
But know it will mark you, body and all.
A kingdom of craving, it takes its due,
And leaves you perfumed with its oily hue."“

“Great service, food and atmosphere“

“The service was great and the food was fresh and tasty. It was a little quiet but maybe it was that time of day. The price was reasonable. Just wished there was specials of the day and maybe a little more items on the menu like a regular diner.“

“I always eat at Michaels restaurant and love the food. This past Friday, I have to say, it was the best I have ever eaten. Lisa the waitress we sometimes have, said I have really good roast beef and I was debating about getting it. She knows I like my beef med. rare. I ordered it and it was soooooo good. She took such good care of us. This restaurant is really good and I'm glad that Astoria, has the diner.“

“great service cozy little dinner vibe amazing food much love from Portland Oregon“

“An honest to goodness "Retro" Diner that offers a wide range of classic breakfasts as well as all the buyers, sandwiches, and wraps for meals later in the day. Comfy booths looking out onto a busy street for endless people watching.“

“Very kind customer service fast service family friendly environment ‼️“

“I had a fantastic experience at this place. Diego provided excellent service and he made an excellent cappuccino. The food was delicious, and the smell in the restaurant was wonderful. It smelled of sweet pastries and cookies. My only complaint is that the AC wasn’t on, so I was pretty hot. Everything else was perfect though.“

“My fiance and I went here for the first time this past weekend and loved it! We loved the oldies style vibe, decor and music. The food was very good, decently priced, and our waitress, Denise, was awesome! We will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“Ok, Grant Plater u fukn idiot it's obvious u don't get out to eat much... So d*** f*** any diner in the fun word u go to u get a waffle that can be cut into 4 sections. As far as chicken n Waffles d*** fuk unless u specify fried chicken and waffles, u will get tenders as for the gravy stupid for ur chicken, ur supposed to use syrup with this plate. If you did get fried chicken the cost would go up, duhh let me guess u would b**** about that to. Unless u no how a dish is served u should not complain because u sound like a fukn d*** a** who doesn't have a clue about dining out.. you wud be the type to go to a classy astablishment and say wats all the forks and spoons for by one plate.. ask before u comment and make a a** out of urself“
