If you like diners, don't miss The Summit Diner. Old school, hearty, very reasonable. We sat at a booth, and the three of us liked everything

One of those legendary railcar diners that can only fit a small number of customers at a time. The food comes out quick and service is friendly. Stick with the omelletes and other short order items. Can’t go wrong. It is cash only which I didn’t realize but all good. Check this place out.

I went to the Summit Diner with a group of friends on November 16th at 11:30 AM. The Summit Diner is located right next to the train station which made traveling to it super easy. Parking can be difficult especially if its busy. The customer service is really good. Once we entered the diner, the waitress smiled warmly us at us and took our order very quickly and delivered us our water. The diner has a train car design. Even though the restaurant was very busy we only waited for around 10 minutes. The place smelled like burgers and coffee. I got the Taylor Ham, Egg, and cheese sandwich as well as their pancakes which were perfectly made-sweet and delicious. Unfortunately, while i was looking at the menu I noticed that they don't have gluten-free or organic diets but there are vegan options such as grilled cheese sandwiches. Also it is important to note that the diner is cash only. The Summit Diner is an O'Mahony.

The Summit Diner was a great experience on a Sunday early afternoon. The coffee was perfect, the food came out quickly and tasted great, and the ambiance was friendly. The breakfast menu has lots of good options but I decided on a veggie omelet that came with hash browns. I also ordered an English muffin. Everything was delicious and I look forward to dining here again. It was a great experience to have a meal in a vintage dining car.

The Summit Diner is a great place stop by for a breakfast or brunch. The food is spot on, the staff are amazing, I just couldn’t imagine the stress they have with such a hassle environment. This diner is a fast paced service that needs you to order fast, bringing to the point of why I gave this a 4 star for atmosphere. The diner by looks is amazingly preserved but there is one clear issue and that is there is NOT ENOUGH space. I believe this had 6 or 8 booths inside and around 4 tables outside. They say this is the #1 Diner in NJ and I can tell by the service, but that means this is POPULAR, and for that, we had to wait about 20 minutes outside to get a booth, so clearly this needs more space so a lot of people can fit. Service is amazing, although you really gotta speed up your order time because they want to get people in tables as soon as possible, I’ll not take off points for that because it’s just the rhythm of the diner. Located exactly where it says on the map. I would definitely come here every half a year to every season because diner food supplements are the best. Btw this is my first time at a diner and I gotta say, this is my #1 food place in Summit.

Dietary restrictions: Incorrect topic, but I once again have to mention THIS IS A FAST PACED DINER.

Kid-friendliness: Kids menu is included online when you scan the QR code at the booth.

A classic, cash-only, fast moving diner. Great, basic food options for breakfast or lunch only. Not fancy or creative but tasty and comfortable. Wonderful staff! Often a wait to sit at a booth (there are only maybe 8) but grab a stool and watch the action- it's always a treat.

Parking: I had the sausage omelette with cheese and my Wife had the pork roll, egg and cheese sandwich. Sunday morning was very busy around 9 am. Nice place. They had a ton of take out orders and they had to stop taking take out orders because they had to serve the people eating at the diner.
