Dirty kitchen, dirty storage, dirty dishes, rude staff specifically manager, horrible and dishonest owners. never got paid for training like promised.
The prime rib melt special was a tiny cold cut slice on a huge slice of bread.
Half the plate was French fries.
It was deceiving.
The ham bean soup was ok.
At noontime, the small seating area was booked & waitress was too busy to get our bill.
I hadn't been there in 5 yrs & will choose a different location to meet a friend in the future.
Not up to NJ diner par.
Longhorn down the street has a better value & selection for lunch if you want steak sandwich.

The service was sub par at best the server barely got to our table and then to top it all off after I had left her a cash tip on the table she charged me an additional 82% tip to my card making the total go from about $19 to almost $35.50. I used to love going to this diner I had a lot of momentous celebrations with family here but not I am weary of bad service and tip fraud when it comes to my orders.

Don’t let the simple outside fool you, delicious food inside!! We visited Budd Lake Diner as part of the Somerset Patriots Diner Passport and had a great meal.
We were warmly greeted by the hostess and shown to a booth quickly. Lots of locals dining. Our waitress, Wendy, was great. Patient and friendly, she was happy to answer questions about the menu and was attentive throughout the meal.
The menu is flavored, with lots of diner fare but also some new and fun choices. The yogurt banana cake special was delicious, and enough for two! Portions are generous.
Lots of healthy choices.
Accessible ♿️
Lots of families with kids. Four boys, after a game, sitting in the booth behind us having a great time eating and enjoying their Shirley Temples. What fun!
Plenty of parking.
Will definitely return… and soon because they make a great burger ? just as burgers are supposed to be… juicy and tasty! So good!
