“If you want to go back to the 50's this the place to go. As you walk in the place is buzzing with people. You may have to wait ✋️ a little bit, because is small and seat are close to each other. The food is good and the prices reasonable.“
“This cute little local favorite was a delight. I got stuck here in Ford, NY due to a break down with my truck so I decided to try the local cafe! I loved it, food was good and fulfilling while I listened to the local chatter from the patrons! The service was awesome and even the cook came by to say "hi"! (Hard to find this in So Cal) If you're in the area and want something that kinda takes you back to a simpler time I think you'll like Colonial Restaurant“
“It's a diner. It has amazing gluten free. We tried the gf pancakes, gf open faced turkey sandwich, gf chicken parm, and gf chicken fingers. The parm and tenders were crunchy and good. I got the gf cheesecake to go. We forgot how good diner food can be!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options.Kid-friendliness: Our kids enjoyed it.“
“Great vibes from with a small town feel.Service great and food came out quick!Didn’t love the corned beef hash (texture and flavor), but everything else was classic and hit the spot.Vegetarian options: Clear description on what’s what to make informed choices“
“I had my bridal shower at Z-Two on Sunday. The food was amazing and the staff was great. Debbie went above and beyond for me and was extremely attentive. She really helped make my experience there that much better. Thankyou!!! I highly recommended Z-Two for your next party!!“
“I had to stop by to write this review! I ordered the honey garlic and the honey buffalo chicken wings for the Super Bowl and boy I wasn’t disappointed!!! It was finger licking good and I was so surprised that we had no left overs and our guest was inquiring about this place because it was so good. The wings were cooked to perfection, not hard or burnt under the sauce just a nice crisp that made everything so enjoyable. The owner was super sweet and the round tray that she put everything in was very professional. I’ll definitely be coming back to try some more food on her menu along with the wings. Thank you so much because of you guys my party was a success! I’ll see you again sooner than later.“
“Any time of day the tropical pancakes are amazing. Bananas, blueberries, coconut, strawberries and granola on tender pancakes dusted with powdered sugar. Yum! Of course the menu is extensive and I've never had a bad or mediocre meal there. Even the corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick's day wS as good as I've ever had!Kid-friendliness: Comfortable for the kids.“
“I had a great breakfast in this tiny little diner. The staff was very friendly particularly the owner, John. The cheese scrambled eggs were perfectly done as were the peppers and onions home fries, and the sausage links were very good quality. They are generous with the butter on the toast.“
“I came in & ordered eggs,? sausage, bacon ? and a burger patty w cheese ?. It was delicious. The lady who took my order was very sweet and accommodating to my carnivore diet order While I waited the rest of the staff acknowledged & greeted me warmly as if I just arrived homeI’ll definitely be back and will recommend my friends n neighbors to try it. MERRY CHRISTMAS ??Dietary restrictions: I’m on the carnivore diet I only eat meat ? fish shrimp chicken pork eggs cheese & salt for my meals. No fruits vegetables or ant any carbs she was able to meet my dietary needs“
“I had this wonderful waitress named Kim, she was amazing she checked on us multiple times, constantly asked if we needed anything, refilled our drinks with us asking, second time here at this restaurant, first time wasn’t as good as today. Thumbs up to Kim I hope she’s there next time I come there.“
“This Diner is a true delight with its classic vibe and hearty breakfasts. The staff’s warmth matches the hot, flavorful coffee. Service is OK in general but that’s after you find a seat. Try the corned beef hash with sunny side eggs or the generous meat lovers omelette. Despite the weekend rush, it’s worth the wait for a taste of local charm and satisfying plates. A true four-star morning treat!“
“While the food is very good, the service always spot on, very nice sized portions, and priced right, for me the main feature is the diner itself!It's like stepping back in time; diners like this are becoming more rare to find, and I'm glad this old girl is still holding up!Parking: Parking can b a bit difficult during peak hours because the place does good business. Go a little before traditional lunch or breakfast hours and you should be ok.“
“I love this Diner. My wife and I come here to eat often. Look for Waitresses Eleni and Margaret they provide one of a kind service. The food is a large serving at an affordable price. I normally get a panini and with the French fries, that I can't ever finish. It's also tasty and they have the best fries in the world. I highly recommend eating here.The only feedback I can give is the Diner can use some music to liven up the room. It can be quiet at times.Parking: Behind the restaurant“
“We've eaten at sunny side up diner several times for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We've taken out too.The food is good. The chicken quality could be a bit better. The staff and chefs are great. One time the chef showed me an ingredient he used to make something I ordered.Small parking lot and street parking.Parking: Small parking lot“
“Food is fantastic !! So much flavor, great portion sizes. Menu is extensive - there's so many options. Service is great ! Everyone is friendly and down to earth. Also the inside has a fun decor - it's elegant but hip. Great place to stop in the Matawan Aberdeen area.“
“The waitress got our order perfect the first time.The food was excellent.It was decorated inside like an old diner with the formica table countertop stools and the pictures of the buses up on the wall brought back a lot of cool memories.This place is definitely on my A list.The blackboard specials change from day-to-day the prime rib was awesome.Parking: Large parking lot“
“Was here this weekend with my daughter and friend. It's not as crowded as it used to be, and tbh pretty sad bc it's a neighborhood staple. Waitress was nice and dealt with 2 overtired pre teens . The girls got kids meals which were large sized, I got. A grilled cheese and fries.Kid-friendliness: YesWheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“I had an overall wonderful experience at Colonial Diner. The food was better than your average diner and the atmosphere was very notable. I spoke to who I believe to be the manager there about the place and he pointed out the original floors and tiles in the building. The diner had a long bar stretched across the building with multiple TVs playing movies. The staff was very friendly and my order was taken and came very quickly. I showed up about a little over an hour before closing and the restaurant did not have many people in there. The parking lot was large and had many spots. I came on a Thursday night and the staff was very quick everything was done almost immediately after sitting down.“
“Great place to go for a bite to eat. Great wait staff, everyone is super friendly and the food is great. I have been going to the yellow Rose for many many many many yearsParking: Easy to access, plenty of spotsKid-friendliness: Kids friendly restaurantWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramp to get in“
“Visiting NY and this is my favorite spot that I have been to! Glad I got the opportunity to stop here before flying out today!Service amazing, food amazing, atmosphere amazing!!! This will be your go to spot for breakfast, lunch or dinner!!!“
“We came to this spot for lunch. This spot was recommended to us by a friend. Well, it was very nice. The crew were very polite and we had a great feeling. The food was just great. We enjoyed every moment and we shall absolutely come back again. Keep it up.“
“Loved it!My brother prefers Denny's over IHOP, and he treated us allI hadn't been to Denny's since Circuit City was a booming business in Emeryville, CA.Thoroughly enjoyed my buttermilk pancakes, sliced ham, and the sausage was not your average sausage! It makes other sausages bland. Had a little kick, and a lot of flavor!Eggs tasted like eggs used to taste like.Buttermilk were really buttermilk pancakes, texture and flavor from old school, long ago. If I didn't mention the warmed syrup AND butter, forgive me! To! Die! For!Our waitress was WONDERFUL! Been there a while. As a former waitress, I always tip more than 20%, when we are treated very well, and I did!The atmosphere was very enjoyable. Slow, not crowded. Very family oriented. No wild child children - very respectful children.Enjoy, and please don't forget to tip your waitstaff. Times are harder and soon, they too will be replaced by robots, as some restaurants have already begun using robots to deliver food to the tables ?Vegetarian options: My brother eats primarily vegetarian meals, but with fish and egg whites. This is why he prefers Denny'sParking: Wasn't crowded. Enough parking when we visited.Wheelchair accessibility: Mother's in a wheelchair but we pulled her in her rolling walker instead.“
“Classic all-American diner in a quiet Staten Island mini-mall. The photo menu was so large that I could hardly lift it. Did not feel like the Manhattan Greek diners but had lots of local charm. We enjoyed a vegetable omelette with home fries and English muffins, and a "healthy" egg and turkey bacon wrap, fruit salad. Good coffee, constant refills, chocolate chip covered large cookies in the bakery display, pages of sandwich options and hot entrees at dinner. Obviously gets locals and repeat diners. Well priced and large portions. A keeper....“
“Martha made this dining experience 5 stars, she went up and beyond. Food was delicious, I got a cheeseburger with cheddar, egg and fried onions with Cajun waffle fries. Food came out just how I was expecting it!I had to add honey to the honey mustard for my liking and it was delicious.“
“We had a very satisfying meal. It started with a problem that the waitress solved quickly and in a very understanding manner. Crisis averted! Well done ? We need to be back in this town again in about a week, hopefully we will have time to stop in for another good experience.“
“I've been going to the Reo for years! What I want to say today is that I had recently tried the new IHOP in Woodbridge. It was overpriced and they don't even have regular black tea! So today , I said im going to the Reo and I got a delicious stack of French toast and coffee and the price and service blow away what we spent at IHOP. Renew my loyalty to the REO!“
“When I think about eating at a diner, I often imagine a diner in the middle of a dirt road that offers a place of solace and comfort. In this imagery, painted by movies and television, what makes a diner so warm and homey is the nurturing waitress that is friendly, kind, nurturing, and provides a calming presence. That was Doreen for me, who made my dining experience so warm and comfortable. We had some small talk which helped me relax after a long night taking care of our newly arrived baby girl. When I wanted to change my order, she was prompt and wasn't defensive like some others might be. The food was also plentiful and filling, coming out piping hot and delicious. Although diner foods have been getting more expensive due to inflation, I believe it's worth it especially with the nice little warm and friendly interactions. Thank you Doreen, for making this experience so calming and enjoyable.Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:“
“This Denny's is on a highway across from a large mall and gets less customers as a result. Still, the food is good and the restaurant is very clean. Prices are cheap and I bought extras, fruit salad & banana cream pancakes topping.Vegetarian options: You can ask for no meat. The only thing that is really vegetarian is the side salad.Parking: On Sunday, the lot is empty. I think there are offices using the same lot. A hotel has a lot in back & might overflow into Dennys.Wheelchair accessibility: There are handicapped parking spaces. The restaurant is one floor and another customer used a walker to leave ok.“
“Our go-to breakfast joint. Priced right compared to other places that don't taste as good or give you as much. Busser is always friendly and really makes sure tables are clean and you have refills on coffee, water, etc). Servers are usually busy and give you enough attention. This isn't fine dining, and it's SI (IYKYK), and a diner, so I feel, it's all good. Pancakes always fluffy, French toast delicious, and always leftovers from the make your own omelet we always get. My only issue is that they only have regular milk or creamers (but that's a me issue, so I bring my own milk from home! Lol) We're always so eager to eat. We forget to take good pix before we start chowing down!Vegetarian options: You can anything without meat. Don't know about vegan.“
“I frequent Manny’s Diner 2 to 3 times a week with a friend because the food is good, the atmosphere is great and the waitresses are great. Never have I had a problem until I noticed that they charge 3% when I used my debit card. I told them that was illegal in NJ. They said they are aware of it but still continue to charge 3%. I was told by a Hispanic gentleman at the door today that I can pay with cash or credit. There is nothing saying I can’t pay with debit nor does it state anywhere that there will be a 3% fee if I pay with debit. I have every intention to find out who I can report this to because it’s not right. I would advise anyone who eat at Manny’s to check your receipt.“
“Love this place. Food is great, service is nice, place is clean and cozy. Love their poached eggs with hollandaise sauce, pancakes, bacon, sausage…..I want to try everything on their menu. Sometimes can be quite busy, other times, it’s slower, but I’ve always gotten good service. Can’t wait to take my kids here.“
“I regret giving so many other places 5 stars, as now the meaningfulness of the 5 stars i give to skylark is Diminished. If you are looking for a review telling you to go the Skylark - look no further, this is it. Incredible food, diverse menu with variety, high quality ingredients, not to mention reasonably priced in a beautiful atmosphere. Perfect place for a special occasion or a brunch meet up. Wish I could give more stars, guess I'll just have to settle with giving them my business.“
“We arrived around 9:00 PM on a Thursday. We were able to park in the smaller parking lot right in front instead of the large lot next to it and were seated within a minute of walking inside. This diner has a modern feel and includes a bar but retains the booths that are indicative of diners. The hostess told us to choose any booth to sit in but did not walk to our booth to set our menus down.After taking our time looking at the extensive menu, we were ready to order but had to wait a couple of minutes before our server came to take our order. Our server was kind enough to apologize for the wait since they were occupied with a larger party then quickly took our drink and food orders. Our drink and food did not take long to be served to us (around 10 minutes) and were impressed by the quality of the items we had ordered. Order the South Central Mexican Skillet if you’re looking for perfectly seasoned home fries and fried eggs!“
“I think it's fair to say Woodrow Diner is among the top 5 on Staten Island. Omelets are good, pancakes are decent. Coffee is on par. Good service and have never had a long wait for a table. Not one of my favorite Staten Island parking lots.“
“We waited at our table reviewing the menu, literally next moment we were ordering coffee and our menu items. Wonderful service and great food !!Parking: Parking lot is a narrow lot minimally accessible spaces, however it’s free and there’s additional spaces on the sides and back of the building“
