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!“

“14 years ago, new to town, I brought my kids here after church. I was having one of my very occasional low blood sugar moments. I told the waitress as she sat us and I had a cup of orange juice before me in record time. I’ve cherished this restaurant ever since and am enjoying a great breakfast this very moment. Come and dine here. The food and people are wonderful.“

“la atención y la comida es exelente“

“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!“

“Got me a chicken bacon ranch wrap from this little joint today. Phenomenal food, phenomenal atmosphere. With the diner recently shut down nearby, this is the spot to take it’s place. Tommy is an amazing guy, and the staff is full of amazing people with amazing service. Definitely check this place out“

“Garlic wings are the bomb, macaroni and cheese, etc. onion rings what else can you say ..and everything’s always perfectly cooked and on time!“

“Absolutely!!!! Awesome staffing/management and incredible eats!!!! ❤️“

“I’m a lifelong Vicki’s customer and I absolutely love this diner. But on DoorDash the price for a side of fries is $12 which is absolutely insane. I feel like the prices in person and online for this diner keep increasing and I was always fine with it because I support small businesses and the pandemic was hard but small stuff like soup and fries should not be over $10. If that’s the case, I can’t keep eating here. Diners are supposed to be pretty cheap and now we spent over $30 a person for lunch.“

“Always fresh coffee and good food. Check out: NYCRhythm.com. Advertise on Internet Radio. Karpathos will hear your commercials too.“

“Good breakfast friendly staff“

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

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

“Great diner and great food. The place was empty but that’s cause it was a Sunday at 3 pm after the rush.

The food was excellent. Got the 2 eggs platter and they recommend the buffalo wings which were the perfectly blend of tang and saucy.
Everything was well seasoned and they provided home made whipped butter which I thought was a nice touch.

Staff was amazing. There was a playoff game on and being the only customer there we were all into it

Great vibes inside and felt very cozy“

“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 a busy Wednesday afternoon around 2 p.m., during one of their peak hours. I waited about 25 minutes to be seated, as it seemed they prioritized larger groups over solo diners, even though a few single seats were open. Once seated, my order was taken promptly, and the food arrived quickly—within about 5 minutes.

I ordered the chicken quesadilla, which I’d rate around 7.5 out of 10. It was a generous portion for the price, with vegetables and onions that added flavor—a nice touch since many places skip these extras. The servers were friendly, attentive, and quick to meet customer needs, creating a welcoming environment. Henry’s Diner offers a casual atmosphere with a solid selection of comfort foods, making it a great option if you’re in the mood for familiar, satisfying dishes. Solo diners, however, might need some patience during busier times. Overall, Henry’s is a dependable spot for anyone looking for a relaxed, homey meal.“

“The Pupusa’s Loved Nice and hot“

“The food is always amazing and the services is always the best ! Great food at great prices“

“A landmark Piscataway restaurant doing what diners do and doing it right. Even with today's economy you can still get a great meal for a fair price at The Fountainbleau Diner. Alex and Family are always greeting customers with a friendly smile and making sure your experience was 5 stars.“

“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“

“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.“

“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 ❤️“

“The Gyro platter is delicious!“

“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 got the Mediterranean burger with an extra patty and it was stacked, generous burger and good quality for a diner. The decor was exquisite and everything seemed clean, all staff members were friendly and prompt. The whole thing was very Jersey. A delightful experience.“

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

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

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

“I visited the Metuchen Diner on Wednesday, October 30 at around 1:00 p.m. and had a great experience. The diner, which was once known as the “Duchess Diner,” is located on Route 27 at the corner of Lake Avenue and Middlesex Avenue, making it easily accessible to customers. The diner also has a large lot that extends around the back, ensuring that patrons can find suitable parking. I was served by Sue who was great. She was kind, considerate, and offered timely service. She was especially respectful to the lady at the table, who she called “darling” and “my lady.” I ordered the All American special, which included two scrambled eggs, French toast, pancakes, Taylor ham, bacon, and sausage with a glass of orange juice, which took about 20 minutes. The meal was delicious and economical given current inflation levels, costing only $13.95. I particularly enjoyed the pancakes, which were especially fluffy. In addition to the food, the dining environment was also clean and pleasant. The diner featured hardwood floors, laminate tables, and had a bright, but warm ambiance. We sat at a very comfortable booth and were serenaded by 1970s music, including Linda Ronstadt. During my time of visit, the diner was around half-full (30 or so patrons). The diner is also great for children, featuring kid’s breakfast and lunch menus, with meals costing between $7 - $8. Overall, I had a great time at the Metuchen diner and hope to be back soon.“

“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.“

“excellent food and customer service always“

“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!!“

“This place is definitely worth a visit. The decor is vintage, but not antique... like 80s era. The service is fast and friendly and was also vintage :-)We went for breakfast on New Year's Day, so maybe it wasn't the best representation of the place, but I'll definitely be going back (and will update my review accordingly)The food was exactly what you expect from diner food: very good, not amazing.The one strong negative for me was the TV blasting Fox News at the bar area, and all the TVs tuned to the news.Can everyone please stop supporting News Channels that actively lie to the public?I forgave it as part of the "vintage" vibe, but not everyone wants to have news (or "nooz" in this case) blaring at them while they eat, regardless of the source.

Parking: There is a large lot with many spots. People seem to park on the lawn as well, which was surprising!

Kid-friendliness: It's a diner, so they like kids.However, all the TVs had news on them, which isn't exactly kid-friendly. Especially Fox News, which lies, fear-mongers, exaggerates, sensationalizes, and pushes a Republican agenda.“

“I went on a Friday night. It's an adult party-like atmosphere with good food and drinks along with an awesome DJ!!!! You can give a party or just come have fun with your friends and family.

Parking: It was the worst, because the place was packed with party goers.“

“Was waited on by Debbie Francone. I was treated wonderfully, quickly and accurately. I was having a real bad day and thank God Debbie made my day turn out in a great way. Food was excellent, but the service was awesome. Would definitely go back. Make sure you ask for Debbie you won't be disappointed“
