“Nice Diner. Service is good. Omelets are fair. Mostly overcooked this is the second time trying an Omelets. The cappuccino was average and pricy 5.00, 3 breakfasts and 2 cappuccino s, total bill was 50.00. They give you a small break with cash.“

“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!“

“My toddler has been coming to Colonial since he was 2, and it truly feels like a second home for us. Every visit is a joy—he absolutely loves the food, and it’s always a treat to see him light up when he sees Michelle and Tommy. They are not just staff—they're warm, welcoming, and treat every guest like family.

The way they interact with the kids is so special—it’s rare to find that kind of genuine connection these days. This photo perfectly captures how happy and comfortable he feels here. Thank you, Colonial team, for always making our mornings brighter!“

“We needed a place to get together after a game with a lot of people. The Colonial didn’t hesitate when I said 20 people. We came and they sat us in the back so we could all be together. Phil and Pedro were an amazing team. They organized our checks by family and all of our food came out hot, fast and delicious. So very thankful for this option in the area!“

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

“delicious food recommend the french toast with almolds“

“We were in the area and stopped for a late lunch at the Park Wood Diner. I felt like a burger and ordered the blue burger supreme. Was not impressed as the burger was well done and not by order of medium. The burger itself was not seasoned so a bit disappointing. Decided to have dessert and ordered a slice of plain cheesecake and it was delicious. I would recommend it highly. My wife ordered the chocolate cream pie which was also delicious.“

“Very good people! always pleasant. Food is delicious, and you get big portions. highly recommend.“

“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!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had such a great time at Manny’s Diner! We came with a group of friends for trivia night and it was so much fun — the energy was awesome and we laughed the whole time. The food and atmosphere were great, and Maria, the manager, was so friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend for a fun night out with friends!“

“The food was good pricing was average and you got a good amount for the price cheaper if you pay with cash

Parking: Getting out of the parking lot a little tricky

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great service ! Our waitress Christina was very nice and very happy ! Recommend the chicken parm on a pita ! Great recommendation!!!! We do try to come weekly and the main reason is Christina!“

“Great food and amazing servers. Very happy this my second time. I come on early Sunday morning for my me time. It's family friendly and the food is great variety for every pallete just about .

Vegetarian options: There are options without meat
