50 Best Diners near Lyndhurst

“Always good & good specials“

“1st time visiting,the staff were lovely and food amazing On my next visit I will be back“

“I can’t believe there is no reviews on this diner on Facebook. We stepped in tonight had Ronnie as our server and the food and atmosphere was outstanding. Thank you all for the wonderful meal! We now have a reason to return to NYC just to visit this diner and get their smashburger!“

“Had dinner here and it was very tasty. The establishment interior is a small refined diner. Four booth seats bar top and two stand alone tables. The booth seating was plush and comfortable to fit up to four diners. One waitress and bartender on duty, with a small kitchen. We were sat and waited on fast, but food took sometime as the place filled up fast after. We ordered the steak and the wedge salad and fries. Took roughly 25-30 minutes for the food to come out. The Steak portion was tiny, not diner sized but to be expected for the area. The meat was tender and well seasoned the potatoes were soft and complemented the dish. The wedge salad was cheesy and well seasoned.“

“This Manhattan diner was neat and clean, and the food was definitely good. The staff was friendly, but one downside was that they charged for refills on small cups, which felt a bit pricey. Overall, a solid spot for a tasty meal if you’re in the area, just be aware of the extra charges, they will try to be sneaky.“

“I didn’t expect a full blown broadway show experience in a restaurant! If you want show tunes and pop music served with a plate of great food then this is the place for you! Our server Brandi M. belted out a wicked version of The wizard and I! I ordered the BLT with avocado and waffle fries and my friend ordered the chicken and waffles. Both were delicious.“

“This was first visit back to Tops since their rebbiuld/renovaation and I wasn't dissapointed, the food was fantastic the service was beyond above par, Robert our server was excellent. I HIGHLY recommend making reservations otherwise you will be waiting a long time for a table. In true transparency TOPS is expensive, TOPS is not your regular Jersey diner, this is upscale at it's best so if you go be prepared to spend some money. I advise you read your bill very carefully so there are not questions when it comes to gratuity, and be prepared to be charge for not using cash. My one critique is that it was drafty. I went in knowing it wasn't going to be cheap, was it worth the price, ABSOLUTELY!!! The food & the service was top notch......I will be going back again.“

“We just had brunch in West way Diner and it was 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Choosing was really difficult as I wanted a bit of everything - really extensive menu, so so good! Servers were fab, attentive but not intrusive. Refillable drinks were available . Highly recommend,. definitely worth a visit 🌟❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

“Traditional old school diner with wonderful staff and very intimate. Prices and food are better than the fancier looking, large dinners in the city. The place is small but customers are wise to eat and allow others to enjoy breakfast and great burgers for lunch. Been a fixture there for years and always loved the pancakes and sausage for breakfast. Maybe I will go tomorrow.“

“Huge shout out to Rebecca! Incredible service and so friendly! Hope to see her again next time I visit!

Impeccable vibe; great decor, clean, classic 80s music playlist, and kind and attentive staff!

Selection of cocktails put a fun twist on classics without being difficult to understand. Food options have fresh sandwiches with an array of fillings and delicious entrees.

Had the hibiscus marg w/ mezcal. Fragrant and light smokiness, really refreshing. The Steak Frites was cooked really well despite some fatty pieces, crispy fries and great portion size. Salsa verde was slightly liquidy but still tasty.

Definitely recommend lunch here, bar seating is supreme.“

“First day in NY and found this little gem. All 3 of us had salads and they were unbelievably good. Fantastic place to visit xx“

“unbelievable this was our 1st time at Ray's! The atmosphere, service, menu and food all outstanding! We'll be back over and over.“

“If you are downtown and don't know where to eat, this is the right place. Great variety, it's not a cart and the service is very good. It's the second time I've been here and I liked it both times. The place is nice and quiet“

“Delicious food, super fast service, casual dining.“

“We had lunch here with our family and small kids. Everyone was so friendly and caring and the food was great and amazing service. Highly recommend.“

“I was in the club, didn’t get a chance to try the restaurant this time around. The door person & security were great, took a second to get in but they were polite & had to let in a few guest before me. I got to see DJ Ellie play and for a Thursday it was busy pretty early. The dj before Ellie was good, the service was fine & people were dancing. Great mood for a Thursday in lower Manhattan. I’ll have to try the food next time.“

“Fantastic food awesome service. 10/10 from me“

“such a great place! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was amazing. Our waiter made sure our food was exactly what we wanted by asking intentional questions - about the chocolate milk and even how we wanted the blueberries/chocolate chips on our pancakes - also asked if we wanted our bacon crispier or not when our plates came out. He was so kind, helpful and patient!! All of our food was good! Very impressed and would definitely eat here again. Thank you so much!!!“

“Very nice place, clean and friendly staff, it was especially nice to meet the owner of the Diner who cooks the food and also serves his customers, thank you very much for the delicious breakfasts during the trip to New York and thank u for complimentary cookies for our daughter during the trip to New York“

“Great delicious food!! Wonderful atmosphere, step back in time.“

“Great burgers, great prices! Our new “go to” diner!“

“Everything I've had here has been amazingly good. Best Gyro platter. Good pastrami sandwich. Meatloaf dinner was great. Fries are awesome. What's best is the courteous and fast service.“

“We had lunch here with our family and small kids. Everyone was so friendly and caring and the food was great and amazing service. Highly recommend.“

“Classic American diner, lovin it“

“Breakfast was amazing. Really southern food cooked to perfection. The grits were really good. I'm funny with scrambled eggs but they were a 10 out of 10! The owner was friendly patient and had excellent customer service.This is my new spot.“

“I love this place. The owner and employees couldn't be nicer. The food is good and the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming.

Parking: Parking right next to the building.

Wheelchair accessibility: Handicapped ♿️ parking in both the lot and the street. Handicapped entrance and the side of the building.“

“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.“

“After looking at reviews I expected more. No carnivore starter options. Had to settle for a 10 ounce steak as an appetizer and another for a main. Well prepared but hardly sufficient for a grown man. Partner had the pressed chicken that was dry. If they catered for meat eaters by having a carnivore appetizer and more substantial steak I'd return. Service and ambiance very nice.“

“What an amazing place to have breakfast we both had the big breakfast’s one with waffles and I had the French toast! Utterly delicious and throughly recommend a visit. We are on holiday from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 so glad I found this place and we will be back with our children next year.“

“Amazing breakfast and we where very well looked after👍💵good price“

“Found Legends because we were coming from out of state to Jets game and taking local train to stadium from Secaucus. Very friendly staff and terrific home fries!“

“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!!“

“Great place for dinner and drinks“

“Nice atmosphere and everything tasted wonderful. The only thing that would make this place better would be mimosas!“

“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.!!!“

“I ordered a “mini” paisita and a side of maduros for my partner and I… I had enough food for 2 1/2 meals. The flavors are incredible, the atmosphere and service are friendly, and I will be eating here again. The beans, maduros, steak, chicharrones and sausage are to die for.“

“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“

“My family had breakfast on this past Sunday the food was delicious and plentiful.“

“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 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.“

“Wow a 5 star diner.Amazing food and great service.My favorite diner in NJ.“

“We visited NYC in September of this year!! we found this little hidden Gem Cozy SoupN'Burger!! Best restaurant we ate at in NYC! thanks again for all the love we received while dining! Smash burger was amazing! Get your A** in and EAT!!!!“

“Oh my goodness.... I've been missing out for too long. I'm just blocks away and I just found this little gem. Food is good & tasty. I ordered the 2 eggs & Corned Beef Hash platter & pancakes & sausages. Also, complimentary coffee/tea for dine in breakfast platters. The server is very efficient as she takes care of dine in guests and carry-out orders all by herself. I will definitely return to try other dishes. Likewise, I highly recommend that you support this small business if you're in the area.“
