12 Best Diners near Lacey

“I absolutely adore this place! The atmosphere is comfy and somewhat nostalgic, just like the cafeteria I visited with my parents as a kid!Though, I noticed one blue-haired girl in there (her name's Lacey according to the badge). She seemed happy and calm, but she was clearly anxious about something. Hope she's doing alright!“

“Old school diner. Food was good. Pork roll and cheese on a real hard roll. 2 egg cheese omelette cooked perfectly. No brown! Well done home fries and bacon(could have been more well done) but tasty. Coffee hot and strong. Service. Very attentive. Diner. Like I said old school Jersey diner. Impressed by clean counter stools! I'm old school also! Cons: Tabasco bottle from years ago. Get some when it's on sale up the highway at ShopRite! Better yet get Frank's when it's BOGO!“

“We go here every weekend (best grits, breakfast quesadillas, good omelets, good service!) while eating today they asked if we could switch tables to accommodate a larger party which we didn’t mind anyway, but they comped the bill! Good people great food!“

“Loveeeee this diner. Came from Tom's River passing like 10 diners along the way but the reviews were so tempting I had to try. Totally worth it. The place is jumpin like diners all once were. The entire staff from start to finish were all fast paced and pleasant. We had mozzarella sticks, French onion soup, turkey dinner, chicken Marsala, and a breakfast sandwich. The only part of my experience was we were leaving for vacation the next morning so I couldn't take home my leftovers and the portions were so great I could have made another 2 meals out of them. But now that I'm home we can't wait to go back.“

“Friendly staff, locals eat there often. Recently, cucumbers changed - bitter, fries are smaller and not fresh tasting, Cole slaw tastes different, and cream cheese switched from Philadelphia to a "spread." The entrees are delicious! Try the stew, Salmon, and more.“

“CJ's is the best breakfast around. The coffee is great, staff is friendly, and the food is outrageously good. One of the best omelettes I have ever had. The pancakes are fluffy & perfect. They serve fresh cups of butter and the cutest container of warm maple syrup. Not sure why anyone would go any where else. Everyone raves about grace and grits, in my opinion CJs is 100 times better. It's well worth the wait.“

“Been going for years just went to breakfast with my parents who have been divorced for years but still best friends for my Mother's birthday and 3yrs ago we held my daughters baby shower and my grandsons first birthday ? what a wonderful place and great staff☺️Wheelchair accessibility: They actually do need more handicapped spots for the elderly handicapped but that's all besides that they are perfect“

“I always wanted to try this place, cute fifties vibe at the front entrance, lots of fifties memorabilia on the walls inside. Black and white checkered flooring. It is not a huge place but they were plenty busy when my spouse and I visited for lunch. Waitresses were nice, we sat at a small counter there. There are booths along both sides of the wall.I have to say that we were both surprised by the food quality for the price. I had a mushroom Swiss burger, my spouse a classic cheese burger. They were a good sized burger, delicious french fries, small side of coleslaw, pickle, lettuce and two slices of tomato (who does that anymore?) The unexpected surprise was two onion rings. I have to say, its the little things that sets a place apart. Those onion rings were delicious, in fact our whole meal was. I will definitely visit againThey have a giant menu, since I like to do reviews, I had to mention that. They put up a roast turkey dinner with all the trimmings. It smelled so good I wish I had ordered that, but I will try it another time. Breakfast was still being served the patron to my right had a ample plate of scrambled eggs, toast, and home fried potatoes. Looked awesome.The only con I noticed was that the air vents needed to be cleaned, other than that, this place is a hidden gem in the Manchester plaza. ❤️☕❤️☕❤️“

“Nice cozy space. Friendly staff Stopped in for breakfast, got my signature breakfast (2 eggs scrambled soft with American cheese and cornbeef hash). Food came out hot and tasty. Also, pancakes here are done really well. My partner had an omelet (very good).. I recommend this diner to anyone in the area.“

“Twas a dark and mildly overcast night with a few sprinkles hanging in the air when the urge came up on me... I want to go to the diner and not be so alone. Being alone is a horrible thing. So stop in did I and what to my eyes did behold a smattering of people and weary wait staff who still have genuine smiles and care for people. I got my food cooked to order and just the right amount of checking not too much not too little. With a laugh as I went to pay the bill the manager asked if I'd like to go cup or did I like the glass that much. Great people and diner food you expect in NJ. I'll be returning.“

“Thank you to Kristy’s banquet hall for hosting my Mom’s repast it was so nice and beautiful room and service was great and compassionate. My Mom’s wishes was to use Kristy’s she loved going here all the time and thank you for making her wish come true. Sincerely the Colalillo Family.“

“It was our first visit on very sad rainy day, but from the moment we were seated the sunshine came in the form of our wonderful waitress Mary, who was in happy mood, dancing and being just everywhere she could there for us...that was amazing first impression of our dinner and everything else was great - the food was very good (the portions were humongous), the atmosphere is very nice, place is spotless and looks like it was refurbished not to long ago (besides the bathrooms, they need attention). The kind of music they played was perfect (at least for us) and the volume level was also good - we could have comfortable conversation... If nothing would be good (but it was), I still would definitely come for the cheesecake - out of this world..we definitely going to be back for breakfast and lunch too (we will be back Mary..! - there is something about Mary)...?????“
