“Amazing! We love everything about this place and go every weekend for breakfast 😋“

“It's tough to put how much I love this place into words, so I will let my buddy (and Chat GPT), ever so eloquently, do it for me.

"At the Empire Luncheonette,
where dreams fry in grease,
The aroma of burgers offers no release.
A dive so lascivious, it pulls you inside,
Where the coffee is bitter, and sins don’t hide.

The fryers hum songs of indulgence and lust,
Hash browns in the air, as your soul collects dust.
Pancakes stack high, syrup drips like a tease,
Every corner whispers, “Stay, won’t you, please?”

A chorus of bacon and oil’s smoky haze
Clings to your coat, your hair, all your days.
You leave reeking of fries, a greasy bouquet,
A badge of your weakness, a scent of delay.

To the massage you go, perfumed by regret,
But the masseuse’s deep sighs won’t let you forget.
For no lavender oil, no calming touch,
Can undo the diner’s indulgent clutch.

So linger if you must, in Empire’s thrall,
But know it will mark you, body and all.
A kingdom of craving, it takes its due,
And leaves you perfumed with its oily hue."“

“This place is small and cozy, its owners make you feel very comfortable, the breakfast is delicious.
I love this place, I would return without hesitation.
Recommended a thousand by a thousand

“Great Diner, lots of room between tables, attentive staff“

“Last night, my party and I had an extraordinary dining experience at Oakland Diner. The food was absolutely fantastic, and our waitress, Nicole, truly elevated our evening with her exceptional service. Not only was she incredibly sweet, but she also demonstrated unparalleled attentiveness throughout our meal. From promptly fulfilling our requests for extra napkins to ensuring our glasses were never empty, Nicole went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. Thanks to her warm demeanor and impeccable service, our dinner was nothing short of amazing. We are already looking forward to returning, knowing that Nicole will make our next visit just as memorable. She is undoubtedly an asset to the team and deserves all the praise!!“

“The best chicken pot pies in New Jersey and New York.The food is quality and large portions.The staff is friendly and accommodating. The other thing is the price for what you get is incredible.“

“Wonderful food and amazing hometown warmth!“

“A++++ Staff was very friendly, helpful and accomodating. Place was clean and very nicely decorated. The best fruit bowl I’ve had. Oatmeal was a 10. First time and I can’t wait to go back.“

“The Philly Cheesesteak is the best! Good price for the amount of food you get!Breakfast is ok typical diner type food. I'm not a fan of eggs so the options are more limited for me to pancakes, waffles, etc. so we usually do lunch instead.They are open for dinner now during the week but post the specials on Instagram. They used to have a website and it no longer works, I really wish they would fix it because in this day and age usually if you don't have a website you don't last long as a business.“

“Good food, people & service. Try it out. Bakery goods to Die for. I had chicken & waffles, both were top notch (puts waffle house to shame). Cousin had a plate filling beautiful omelet that he was very happy with. Then we tried pastries.....OMG?“
