The server was cool but the cook gave us burnt food so we asked for a remake and the cook sent out more burnt food 😭

The food is very good at this place, but it did take a while for it to come out. The atmosphere and service leave much to be desired. We walked in and were greeted, but then a waitress yells to the hostess to put us in her section but then didn’t come over to take our order for at least 5 to 10 minutes. The hostess had to remind her that we were sitting there waiting. It seems like there are kids running this place and they seem to be more concerned with laughing and having a good time than they are about working. The only guy that seemed to be working in the place was the cook, who was clearly slammed, and the bus boy cleaning the tables. The place wasn’t busy at all and for a diner in the middle of Montclair you would expect a higher degree of service. I had the eggs Benedict (the Canadian bacon was extra even though that’s how it’s typically served) and my boyfriend had the gyro which was supposed to come with fries, but didn’t. Again the food was good, so those were only minor issues. Overall we probably won’t be back.

Food was decent. Everything was good and came promptly. Place was a little expensive but for Montclair I guess it's average. Its a small diner with a few tables outside.

Never in my life wrote a bad review. This was actually gross but into my “over easy” eggs that were basically scrambled and there were eggshells in every bite. Ordered two orders of toast and got 2 pieces of slightly warmed bread.
0 stars terrible.

Friendliest place in town. Family run, local place with homemade soups, flavored coffee, shakes, and breakfast all day. Greetings entering AND leaving. Local business folk, students, retirees, tradespeople - a true mix of Montclair. What dining used to be like before corporations. Huge choice of tasty cooking of expanded diner fare. Been around since 1923 for a reason. Try it!

Kid-friendliness: Kids corner with a big table.

It’s a downtown Montclair diner
menu with about 400 items to choose from. We moved our son into Montclair state and stopped in for lunch, he had the infinity burger (ate it all), I had the grilled Chix club and my wife had the California Chix club. We brought home half of ours plus have the fries - dinner that night!

Service was a bit slow, but only 1 server that day and she had a table of 8-9 to handle - we were not in a rush so no big deal. We would go back, parking is downtown Montclair meter parking (it appears 45 mins max).

First time coming here and had lunch for 3 for a total of $77. A little pricey for me but I can see myself coming back for a lunch special. The service was friendly. The booths are a bit too small. Street parking was available.

The waitress questioned her tip amount! Very unprofessional!! The place was not packed so she wasn’t running around. I understand the pay and how it works with waitress it was the fact of her question on the amount. Prices here are pretty high hence why I come every now and then. I wanted to pay tip in cash but she sat there and watched as I completed my transaction. Please do better!

Super smooth food, nice options and had great customer care. I had the three egg omelet which was very tasty, and French toast with sugar free syrup. Felt great after having that diner craving fulfilled.

A less than positive experience. Server was good. But I won't be back. Nevada, State Street and Chit Chat have better food for the price.
