The summer chicken meal was INCREDIBLE. The owner Matt recommended it and It was the best meal I’ve had in awhile. It was so refreshing and sweet! Completely mouthwatering and I never finish any meal but this one I devoured. Going to have dreams about this dish! Highly recommend checking them out.

I have been constantly going here for about 2-3 years and I can say the food quality, taste, and staff service are never disappointing. I've been to a multitude of diners and this one outranks all of them in every field including prices.
Some staff I'd like to thank for their constant smiles, humor, and astounding service are Max, Angel, and the hostess (apologies that I don't know their name), along with some others. Max and Angel have served us time and time again and it's always a pleasure.
Most, if not all, staff are understanding and have no problem tweaking a menu item (like if I were to order a burger I typically ask for no tomatoes haha) and always ensure you enjoy your dish. Unlike some diners and restaurants whose staff pester you at every moment the staff at this diner gives you your space and ensures your comfort and satisfaction. (I'm able to go on and on about the incredible service here but I'll try to cut myself short).
Continuing, there is typically no wait time once you walk in (maybe when you go late in the evening but in the afternoon, morning, and lunchtime, there's none) and there is a good amount of parking wrapped around the building.
As mentioned previously, the atmosphere is great. Including the spacious parking, the general exterior is kept in good condition and looks just like some fancy restaurant does. The interior has a European feel to it, which makes sense as the owners are a Greek family (they have a paragraph within their Menu talking about the history of the Diner!). The floors, tables, and cutlery are always clean. The booths and tables are spacious and comfortable too!
Stopping myself here, all in all, this place is a must-visit if you want a good hearty meal from a place that has a large selection of dishes including European (Greek/Mediterranean, and the like) and classic Diner dishes (including Gluten-Free and Vegan options), great staff, and wonderful atmosphere. I think most people who have visited here could agree on the same.

The atmosphere is a little dated, but so are most diners. The food was great. The portion size was large.

First here and I ordered a cheese omelette waffle fries short stack pancakes English muffin and coffee. The omelette was the only thing worth eating. The waffle fries over cooked English muffin hard lick a stale bagel pancakes dry oh oh oh might’ve been ok if I even had coffee to drink. 12 mins empty cup of coffee what’s so hard about filling a cup of coffee. I Stopped going to Metuchen Diner because they couldn’t fill my cup of coffee wait Sue was great the other two I ad there no good. So would I recommend coming here no not even to my worse enemy.
