Service was good, very kind people.

“Delicious food and authentic NJ diner experience at Seaport Diner!! I got the Reuben sandwich with fries, it was huge and had amazing flavor - the corned beef was tender, the cheese melty, rye bread was toasty, and the sauerkraut with Russian dressing made it perfect. Plus it was open face, a really unique touch, served with crunchy pickles, sauerkraut and yummy fries. A feast for sure! My family for sunny side eggs (perfectly cooked) with crispy bacon and pancakes. They were super happy, said it was delicious. The location is perfect for a meal near Newark airport. The service was great, food was served nice and hot, place was clean. And you get that cool New Jersey diner vibe with leather booths and cool bar seating. I definitely recommend Seaport Diner - we will be back!!“

“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.“

“I’m here at my favorite diner,
The Eltingville Diner, on Richmond Ave. One of their specials is an amazing vegetable chili! Absolutely delicious. Also, they make a Chicken Pot Pie which is phenomenal! Well, truthfully I have never had a bad meal here. Love this place! One of my favorite waitresses is Ronni Star she is always so kind and spot on. Her suggestions are always delicious!“

“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.!!!“

“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 eat breakfast here about 3-4x a week and the food is good. My only issue is that on Aug 12 2025 I ordered my usually breakfast sandwiches and instead of telling me they ran out of eggs they sold me the sandwiches at full price and yea beef bacon cheese on a roll with jelly does not hit the same without eggs. I didn't hold it against them and I came in today Aug 13 and me not even asking for anything free or any favors started to inform the woman at the counter what happened and she just cut me off mid sentence and asked for my order she clearly did not care. I left it alone and this was my favorite breakfast spot but today will be the last time I give them my business. The food is great tho.“

“We were in the area and stopped for a late lunch at the Park Wood Diner. I felt like a burger and ordered the blue burger supreme. Was not impressed as the burger was well done and not by order of medium. The burger itself was not seasoned so a bit disappointing. Decided to have dessert and ordered a slice of plain cheesecake and it was delicious. I would recommend it highly. My wife ordered the chocolate cream pie which was also delicious.“

“First visit food was great. My granddaughter gave them a 💯 staff super friendly shoutout to my server Lisa👍🏼 I will be back!“

“The food was good pricing was average and you got a good amount for the price cheaper if you pay with cash

Parking: Getting out of the parking lot a little tricky

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp“

“Tucked away from everything else, and therefore quieter than other places, not that Newark Terminal B was busy. Good Veggie options from an indian, mex and burger world. Speedy service. Atmosphere is not a thing is an airport food place. Service could have been better/ friendlier - but they are very happy to engage with people that want to talk.“

“Food was good, we had a mix of lunch items and breakfast. Service was outstanding! There were some regulars that came in and out and they treated them all like family. So kind. And we felt just as taken care of (they just didn't know our names or favorite items). They were also very fast getting the food out. Great stop if you're in the area!“

“Great disco fries!!! Delicious!“

“The food is amazing my family and I love it“

“Ate there yesterday mid-afternoon. Good and service was superior. Attention to detail about our order, pleasant helpful staff and courteous host made our visit even more enjoyable. We were stuffed from our meal, but had to try their tempting desserts. Delicious. Highly recommend this long standing establishment.“

“Food is always great and on time“

“I have been coming to The Little Diner every day for the past week for breakfast, and it has quickly become one of my favorite little spots. The ladies who work there are always incredibly welcoming, friendly, and kind. After only a few visits, they already know my order by heart, which makes every morning feel a little more personal and special. That kind of genuine hospitality is hard to find these days.

The Little Diner truly lives up to its name—it is a charming, cozy place filled with warmth, kindness, and a real neighborhood feeling. You are not treated like just another customer; you are made to feel comfortable and appreciated from the moment you walk through the door. Between the friendly service, the welcoming atmosphere, and the great breakfast, I look forward to coming back each morning. I highly recommend this wonderful little gem!“

“Outstanding breakfast sandwiches!! Just moved into the neighborhood and will definitely be going back! Highly recommend!“

“My children and I were on a stop over in New Jersey recently, making our way back from a holiday in South Africa, when we needed breakfast as we tried to adjust to the time change. Central Restaurant was a little bit of a drive from our airport hotel (about 5 miles), but they were open at 6:00 am and the online menu showed promise. The restaurant is a neighborhood greasy spoon, with all the cast of characters you would expect of such a place. The owners are Greek transplants, the clientele is mostly the black neighbors who live nearby, a line up of police officers and construction workers waiting for to-go orders, and travelers like us who may or may not know what they are in for. I saw grits on the menu which told me everything I needed to know about this place. They did not disappoint. First thing - to the restroom. If it’s clean you know the kitchen will be in order also. It was tiny, but clean and smelled good. My son ordered the Denver omelet with grits, I ordered fish and grits, and my daughter ordered the French toast breakfast with a side of grits. The grits were on point - creamy with that pat of butter pooling on the top. The French toast was just the right amount of crunchy (on the edges) and tender with a tiny bit more cinnamon for enhanced flavor. The Denver omelet was well cooked with just a bit of browning on top, but a tender and medium soft interior. The fish was unexpected as it had a coating and it was fried. But, the exterior was crunchy with a flaky tender flesh interior. I can’t speak to the rest of the menu, but our orders were all A-plus calibre for a neighborhood greasy spoon. If you like this kind of atmosphere and breakfast food, don’t miss out if you happen to be in town!“

“I hesitated to come here because I saw negative reviews somewhere about the food, but I’m happy that I did because it was delicious. The people were really nice, the food was great (huge portions), and it was clean. I will absolutely come here again and again.

Parking: Easy to get into and plenty of parking“

“Great food and amazing servers. Very happy this my second time. I come on early Sunday morning for my me time. It's family friendly and the food is great variety for every pallete just about .

Vegetarian options: There are options without meat

Dietary restrictions: There are turkey sausage and bacon.

Kid-friendliness: Family“

“We arrived around 5:00 PM on a Thursday. We were the only customers so there was parking on the street and plenty of parking in the back lot. Looking from the outside, this diner has a very nostalgic feel to it.The cook greeted us when we walked in and took our orders immediately. We each ordered the lunch special that consisted of 2 Texas weiners (with everything on it), fries, and a can of soda at a decent price of $12. The food was ready in about 5 minutes and the texas weiners were great! The atmosphere was quiet during the time we went, making it slightly awkward while we were eating, but the experience was great nonetheless.We will definitely come here again!“

“We always have excellent food here. Breakfast specials… Eggs, toast, home fries, sausage, juice and coffee! They are very generous here! Service is friendly and accurate! Totally recommend the East Hanover Diner! And reasonable!“

“Staff is caring & kind - fabulous! Food is excellent & plentiful. I’ve been coming to Sherban’s for over 50 years & highly recommend them!! Service is top notch. There may be other diners, but none compare to Sherban’s. I’m a customer for life ❤️“
