Food was mid. Our waitress was great, it seems like a nice “mom and pop” diner. Unfortunately, the food was underwhelming.
Mediocre food and WORST SERVICE. Manager is upset we did not pay his employees pay. Made a big scene to tip more because then he doesn’t have people who want to work. Um no. How about don’t pay them below minimum wage? The customers are not required to be responsible for your employees salary. They should NOT be depending on their tip. That’s old business culture that just wants customers to tip so they don’t have to spend more out of the profits to keep employees. HORRIBLE MANAGEMENT.
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.
My husband and I went to the diner and a gentlemen provided us with menus and proceeded to show us where to sit. After sitting down we were completely ignored for about 15-20 mins. The waitress walked by us about 4 times without any eye contact or even a “ hey we are understaffed, I will be with you as soon as we can”. This was all about 11:30pm when we arrived. She proceeded to attend to other customers in the area but not us. We ended up leaving and went to another diner. Needless to say we will not return to this diner. It is a shame considering this was our first time there.
Park Ave Diner is my go-to spot when I need something reliable, especially after a long day seeing patients or pulling a late shift. The fact that it’s open 24 hours is a lifesaver—sometimes it feels like the only place awake when I am.
Service here is always on point—friendly, fast, and attentive no matter what time you roll in. The food? Honestly, it doesn’t always look like much (the meatloaf has raised a few eyebrows), but it consistently tastes amazing. Comfort food done right.
I keep coming back because it never lets me down. Whether it’s 2 p.m. or 2 a.m., Park Ave Diner delivers.
Great service and menu
As always, the food was great! I’ve had the tilapia for lunch for the nth time and as expected, it was delicious! Of course the service staffs are incredibly good and friendly.

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.

My daughter was there this morning with some friends and was ripped off. She ordered a $3 orange juice (according to menu) and was given supposedly fresh squeezed for $8 !!!! She drank it and had to pay for it but they should be embarrassed to have pulled this stunt. AND my daughter is military so she wouldn't make an issue of it like I would. Just lost 6 clients. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED ?

My family and I went to this dinner I've been a cook for 7 yrs and this was the worst I've been served. The pizza was raw, the onion rings were raw, the soup was cold, even after asking the waiter to heat it up! The jalapeño peppers were stale and the bacon was stale! Absolutely terrible! Would nit recommend. The cashier said she was the manager and justified it by saying I should have ask for everything to be cooked more!!!!
