39 Best Diners near Plainfield

“We arrived around 5:00 PM on a Thursday. We were the only customers so there was parking on the street and plenty of parking in the back lot. Looking from the outside, this diner has a very nostalgic feel to it.The cook greeted us when we walked in and took our orders immediately. We each ordered the lunch special that consisted of 2 Texas weiners (with everything on it), fries, and a can of soda at a decent price of $12. The food was ready in about 5 minutes and the texas weiners were great! The atmosphere was quiet during the time we went, making it slightly awkward while we were eating, but the experience was great nonetheless.We will definitely come here again!“

“Definitely one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever eaten! I had the Crab Cakes Benedict, with a side of bacon! The food was so incredibly delicious, I didn’t want it to to end! So worth the 30 minute drive from Bergen County! I’m already planning on a return visit!“

“Good breakfast friendly staff“

“The food is great. They give you a lot for your money. I never could finish my food“

“Food was good, we had a mix of lunch items and breakfast. Service was outstanding! There were some regulars that came in and out and they treated them all like family. So kind. And we felt just as taken care of (they just didn't know our names or favorite items). They were also very fast getting the food out. Great stop if you're in the area!“

“The best pancakes local diner great food and great prices“

“If you were looking for a traditional, down home diner style breakfast this is the place to go. The prices are reasonable, the locals clearly find this a home away from home, and the staff are cheerful and friendly. Plenty of food for the price too!“

“I visited Henry's Diner on Tuesday March 25th, at around 12:30 and it did not disappoint! Parking was somewhat limited, and upon approaching the diner, I noticed a line that had formed. It took me about 20 minutes of waiting before I could sit down. The interior was well maintained and clean with a welcoming atmosphere, because as soon as I sat down, I was greeted by my server in a very nice manner! I ordered the breakfast burger and a side of chicken fingers that came along with fries. All of these dishes were incredible! The burger was juicy and not dry, the egg had a nice yolk, with very tasty bacon, and the fries were very crispy and seasoned well, as well as the chicken tenders being breaded beautifully and having a nice crunch. The diner accepts Rutgers student meal swipes, which is very convenient for any Rutgers students who want to dine here! The menu also caters to various dietary preferences, offering vegetarian options like the melted brie and cranberry sandwich on whole grain bread. The total came out to around $24 for my meal, and considering the amount of food I got for the price, I'd say I'm willing to come back! Overall, Henry's Diner provided a delightful dining experience with its nostalgic yet modern ambiance, attentive service, and diverse menu. It's a spot I'd recommend come back to in a pinch!“

“Great food, atmosphere, and service. There are very few Diners in NJ that serve food with such a care and such quality and flavor that other places compromise, not here. Food , and coffee was superb. 100 % recommended. From Clifton to Summit for Tick Tock route 3 is no longer the best in my area. I love Diners so I needed to try this one even if it meant taking the ride to visit a small town vibe. A must visit my followers.“

“Good place to eat, located on the main street in the city of Maplewood. Outside there are several tables and chairs to sit in the summer. The atmosphere is good and the service too. The food served is satisfactory to the customer's taste.“

“Really great spot and great food. I go to this spot often for breakfast and the food was always great. Customer service is great. Price may be compared to a diner but it's worth it. Give it a try. There is a reason why all the older heads eats here.“

“Outstanding breakfast sandwiches!! Just moved into the neighborhood and will definitely be going back! Highly recommend!“

“Staff is caring & kind - fabulous! Food is excellent & plentiful. I’ve been coming to Sherban’s for over 50 years & highly recommend them!! Service is top notch. There may be other diners, but none compare to Sherban’s. I’m a customer for life ❤️“

“I hesitated to come here because I saw negative reviews somewhere about the food, but I’m happy that I did because it was delicious. The people were really nice, the food was great (huge portions), and it was clean. I will absolutely come here again and again.

Parking: Easy to get into and plenty of parking“

“The Gyro platter is delicious!“

“Place seems clean staff was friendly the food I had ordered tasted ok but I was a little unhappy about the size of the my omelette given the cost and seeing the serving size of so many other meals ….too little overall and no wow factor if your going to serve less then use better ingredients when it comes to what you put in the food it didn’t say I need to come back here to me $20 for a meat lovers omelette with two kinds of frozen meat. Ehhh“

“Great diner one of the best as far as im concerned go eat and you’ll agree“

“The Pupusa’s Loved Nice and hot“

“Great food, great service from Angela❤️her“

“picked up a toogoodtogo order. price of the items were originally$18 , discounted to $6. items were a pork roll, egg and cheese sandwich, a bag of chips and a soda. if that is regularly $18, then their food is WAY over priced. I'm also about 20-25 minutes away. definitely wasn't worth my time or the distance traveled. I will not be reordering the discounted food. and if that is their regular price, then they are way overpriced so I will not go for regularly priced food.“

“Just walked today after being seated we waited about 10 minutes nobody ever came over to take our order say they be with us in few or anything there were at least 5 or 6 server standing around doing nothing and no one seem to care we walked out would never go back this was second bad experience with them.“

“I almost don’t want to give it five stars but I have to it’s only fair because it’s a fantastic place. The food was awesome greetings for fresh. It’s a little pricey, but worth every penny.“

“very clean, fast and friendly service. Definitely recommend breakfast. gotta try dinner next lol. enjoy!“

“I visited the Metuchen Diner with my dad on Thursday, March 27, and we both greatly enjoyed the experience. We were slightly worried about a lunch rush, going around noon (11:30 to be more precise), but the restaurant was spacious and not overly crowded. Parking is normally difficult with its small lot, but there is ample additional parking in the back, and on the day we visited we had no problem finding a spot. The service was great and very quick, only taking about 15 minutes from ordering to get our food. Our server Mariola was especially kind and cheerful, asking about our day and giving us some menu recommendations! Both my dad and I ordered off of the lunch special menu, which provided great value, giving us a cup of soup, as well as a dessert with our orders at a flat price of $13.50 (not bad for the rising prices in food across the country). I ordered the turkey Reuben, and my dad opted for the hickory chicken sandwich. They also have a set menu for seniors which offers the same deals as the lunch menu and is a nice option for older customers. I got Matzo Ball soup to start, and my dad chose split peas; both were good. The matzo ball was on the denser and drier side of the matzah ball soups I've had. Overall, the food was good, nothing exceptional, but very satisfactory and enjoyable. The portions, even for a lunch menu, were generous, and we both found ourselves taking home the rest of our meals. The coleslaw in the turkey Reuben instead of the traditional sauerkraut was light and refreshing. The diner was lively and very clean. The booth seating was comfortable (there is a good mixture of booths and tables throughout the restaurant), and we found it to be a nice place to talk and catch up. If you are in the area and in the mood for classic and affordable diner food, I recommend checking out the Metuchen Diner.“

“My Wife and I met our good friends here for breakfast on the weekend, and had a great meal together. Did not disappoint - everything you expect in a top-notch diner.

Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible for someone using a walker or wheelchair.“

“excellent food and customer service always“

“We visited the Park Ave Diner as part of the Somerset Patriots fun diner passport event. We’re almost done, with 2 to go!!
We were welcomed and shown a table right away, our waitress was friendly and attentive. The food came out fast, fresh and hot. There’s a large menu, with lots of choices, including healthy ones (and fun drinks!).
The diner is accessible ♿️, with ramps and lots of room between tables. Plenty of parking. Young people near our table were respected and well served!
Beautiful cakes and baked goods.
Truly enjoyed our lunch.“

“Great service always friendly and helpful if you are undecided about to order. You are treated like family my the staff and owner. Food is Amazing you can't go wrong with anything you order Great portions too!!“

“"No seed oils, grass-fed beef, grass-fed dairy, pastured raised eggs, scratch kitchen," says the Skylark Diner website. Based on the first-rate meals we enjoyed the other night, I think this is honest. I've gotten so used to just-okay cuisine served at the plethora of just-okay restaurants, I can vouch for that scratch kitchen claim, as Skylark reminded me of just how good food can taste. We shall return.

Skylark's on-line reservation form offered nothing before 6:30 in the evening. But when we arrived, many tables were open, so I don't see why we could not have made it 6:00, which is what I'd would've preferred. Next time, I'll just call.

A tip of the hat for Skylark's policy of discounting the bill by 3% if you pay in cash. Why don't all retail establishments offer this? It ought to be the law. Restaurants and stores that charge the same for payment in cash or credit card make more money if you pay with the former, as they don't have to fork over a cut to the banks issuing the latter.“
