50 Best Diners near North Arlington

“We always Enjoy our meals at the diner! They never disappoint no matter what we order. Don’t forget to try their cheesecake!! It’s soooooo yummy!“

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

“I liked the menu options a lot, a good variety of diner food w/ some French inspired dishes. Our waiter was funny and really nice lol. Place is kinda small, but we didn’t have to wait at all even though it’s a no res spot. They gave us a small ice cream and whipped cream dessert for new years 🥹 Overall, I had higher expectations for the food based on the price points so was a little disappointed

- French onion soup ($19): 7/10, I LOVE French onion soup, but the broth wasn’t as flavorful or onion-y as I would’ve liked. Was pretty excited about this but disappointed. It was filled to the brim, which is great in theory, but it was lowkey hard to start eating it without it spilling over
- Patty melt ($21): 8/20, pretty solid, but lowkey reminds me of the melt from Waffle House lol
- Fries: 7/10, standard
- Complimentary ice cream w/ whipped cream: 7/10, standard ice cream, but it was nice that it was free 🥹

*Note: Wanna try their escargot and steak next time“

“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 🌟❤️“

“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.“

“Fantastic food and staff. The cocktails are great too.“

“Came 2 times and didn't disappointed both of times. Very good food, large quantities and very nice staff. Price is in general less than 20$ a person so for a nice breakfast and lunch that last a Good amount of times it's worth it!“

“Amazing food as always. Been three times so far and I will be back again this week for more 👌🏻“

“corn beef Ruben + Rice Pudding dessert excellent“

“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.“

“Excellent diner overall. Highly recommend.“

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

“Classic American diner, lovin it“

“The stuff are accommodating and nice.“

“We love Colonial Diner and have been going there for years. They have the best food and best staff, along with an amazing atmosphere. My three year old asks to go there for practically every meal and we are always greeted like family when we walk through the door. This is the best diner I’ve ever been to. Run -don’t walk- and get ANYTHING from the menu; you won’t regret it!“

“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“

“Jean’s has such a great vibe — effortlessly cool, intimate, and lively at the same time. The atmosphere makes it perfect for a date or a fun night out. The food is consistently delicious and thoughtfully prepared, and the cocktails are standout — balanced, creative, and dangerous in the best way. The music and crowd add to the energy without overwhelming the space. Service is friendly and attentive, making the whole experience feel smooth and welcoming. Jean’s never disappoints and is always a good time“

“Maria was a wonderful waitress. The food was excellent. Thanks for a memorable dinner“

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

“Stopped by Tria Bakery Cafe Diner while waiting out a 2-hour wait at Golden Diner. We were starving and didn’t want to stand around in the cold, and this place ended up being the perfect move. It’s only about a 6-minute walk from Golden Diner, and we were able to sit down, stay warm, and enjoy good food and coffee while we waited. Cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and exactly what we needed. Definitely glad we came here.“

“I’ve been there a few times, and now I tell everyone to try it. Phenomenal! That hot sauce, too…“

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

“Todo el tiempo Comida exquisita deliciosa. Visiten para probar😋deli☺️“

“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.“

“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.“

“Wait staff was friendly and you were not pushed to finish dinner. We had the shrimp po' boy and the grilled ribeye open face steak sandwich. I asked for my French fries to be extra crispy and they were delicious. After driving for almost 5 hours, sitting in rush hour traffic and construction, this diner made our day and on a really great note.“

“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.“

“Thank you to Becky and the Legends team - Franco who made sure we had everything. Had a lovely evening celebrating my brothers 30th here. The staff were attentive, friendly, welcoming and my son had the best evening being the waiter! Becky you made his night paying him for his help 😊 food was great and the atmosphere was lovely. Look forward to coming back x“

“I've had burgers from here twice, both were great! The brewed iced tea is good. The coffee and flan are great. Just be aware, it's cash only.

Update: Oh, my goodness, the meatloaf sandwich! This is not your grandma's meatloaf. If it is your grandma's meatloaf why are you thinking about eating out? Go see Grandma! Otherwise, get in here! No photos, I ate too fast!“

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

“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!!“

“The setting is welcoming and thoughtfully arranged, facilitating a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience.
Service achieves an appropriate balance, being attentive without being intrusive, with staff who remain polite and present without hovering.
The cuisine is satisfying, the pricing is commensurate with the quality offered, and the overall impression encourages a desire to return.“

“Looking for a place to eat some Spanish food in the area, we gladly end up here. Service from the only waitress that night was exceptional and very professional. The place is big and I believe because it was late at night was almost empty, I.saw a lots of take out orders do. Now here you will find the typical freezers/coolers with all kinds of colombian sodas, desserts and what not. They do have a good variety in the bakery section. And the food was surprisingly good with a good flavor and presentation. Prices were reason too. Overall if we ever come back to this area we will be paying a visit to this place again“

“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.!!!“

“My breakfast was great this morning.“

“The staff were very friendly, attentive, and efficient. The food was DELICIOUS and portions were generous! I would definitely recommend a visit if you’re in the area!!!“

“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.“

“The food and the service. Always good!“

“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“

“This diner is worth going. We do not live in NJ but we stop in on the way back from NYC. The food is delicious, the service is spot on. The owners are very welcoming. Keep it going Caldwell Diner!“

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

“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.“

“First visit food was great. My granddaughter gave them a 💯 staff super friendly shoutout to my server Lisa👍🏼 I will be back!“

“Great place for dinner and drinks“

“We were in the area and stopped for a late lunch at the Park Wood Diner. I felt like a burger and ordered the blue burger supreme. Was not impressed as the burger was well done and not by order of medium. The burger itself was not seasoned so a bit disappointing. Decided to have dessert and ordered a slice of plain cheesecake and it was delicious. I would recommend it highly. My wife ordered the chocolate cream pie which was also delicious.“

“OMG THE MEATLOAF WITH MASHED POTATO'S AND GRAVY WITH BREAD AND BUTTER TO DIP IN THE GRAVY. 😋. AND THE FISH CRISPY FRIED FISH WITH MACARONI AND CHEESE. 😋 😋 😋“

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

“Everything is great! I especially like the wraps and Panini‘s!“

“Visiting the area, and decided to pop in for a late dinner, was great service and food and that good went back for dinner the next again day 🤩 great place for dining if your in the area“

“We used to go to Park West quite often, but stopped when we were tired of having to check the bill carefully for overcharging. Happened again yesterday when we called in a pick up and 2 of the 3 items ordered were wrong and the wrong higher price was still charged. And, we didn't get two items we ordered, nor the coleslaw and pickle that was requested. Not happy at all“
