Quick bite at The Dinky! The vibes were great and the bartenders were super friendly. We tried the loaded fries - they were good, but would have been better with a bit more crisp to the fries. Would definitely come back to try more of the menu!

I have been here a few times and always get the hummus. Its very convenient if visiting the McCarter Theater and you want to get in the area early for street parking. Always busy, food is ok.

Yummy food - the flatbread pizzas are particularly excellent. Always book in advance! They can get extremely busy in the evening.

Stopped in for a light lunch. the Bao Buns are out of this world. Seriously, you need to try them. The 1865 burger was also delicious. staff was kind and attentive, and the atmosphere is unique. Totally worthwhile.

We just came for drinks. It’s a cute place with a nice outdoor seating. The waiters were good and attentive. But the drinks were horrible. We got two cocktails and a wine, none of them were good, even the wine. I am not even a drink snob but I couldn’t drink mine at all. Don’t think I will be back. It’s a shame though cause the ambiance is very nice.

A cute place for better than average food in excellent location on Princeton campus, directly across from McCarter Theater. Parking easy. Very limited menu. A couple of salads, some flatbreads, a few other choices, all conveniently marked if Gluten Free. Try their pumpkin donuts for dessert, made on premises. Full bar. This used to be the Dinky Train Station. One big charming room. Fun place. Good eats.

Lovely ambiance, it looks like it's always packed. We sit outside next to the heaters, parking can be a little tricky. Our server Allan was a sweetheart. The chicken bao buns and chicken wings were good.
