“Wow a 5 star diner.Amazing food and great service.My favorite diner in NJ.“

“Food was excellent Our server was wonderful and very helpful We will definitely be coming back“

“Made the trip all the way from the Jersey Shore just for this diner! It did not disappoint. The wait was quite long, but people were seated quickly and it was easy to see where you were in the queue. Our waitress was very quick and very kind. And the food was spectacular. I definitely recommend!“

“Very clean and well-kept inside, despite the slightly ragged condition outside. Very reasonably priced, good diner food.“

“unbelievable this was our 1st time at Ray's! The atmosphere, service, menu and food all outstanding! We'll be back over and over.“

“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!“

“What a great and convenient place to have lunch or breakfast. I truly enjoy the sandwiches and soups. My favorite is beef barley on Tuesdays. Chicken noodle fills the bill any day with different pastas to satisfy your palate. Friendly service and just a great place to eat. Come and enjoy your meal, it will truly be worth it.!!!“

“Great breakfast & service“

“Such a great place with a wonderful atmosphere and great food we love it 😊“

“This diner is worth going. We do not live in NJ but we stop in on the way back from NYC. The food is delicious, the service is spot on. The owners are very welcoming. Keep it going Caldwell Diner!“

“Great food, fast service. Been coming here for years. Don’t mind the 80’s music but they have it CRANKED. Came in for breakfast and couldn’t even have a conversation with my wife as Journey played in the background.“

“My fiance and I went here for the first time this past weekend and loved it! We loved the oldies style vibe, decor and music. The food was very good, decently priced, and our waitress, Denise, was awesome! We will definitely be back!“

“Always fresh coffee and good food. Check out: NYCRhythm.com. Advertise on Internet Radio. Karpathos will hear your commercials too.“

“Great diner and great food. The place was empty but that’s cause it was a Sunday at 3 pm after the rush.

The food was excellent. Got the 2 eggs platter and they recommend the buffalo wings which were the perfectly blend of tang and saucy.
Everything was well seasoned and they provided home made whipped butter which I thought was a nice touch.

Staff was amazing. There was a playoff game on and being the only customer there we were all into it

Great vibes inside and felt very cozy“

“Ok, Grant Plater u fukn idiot it's obvious u don't get out to eat much... So d*** f*** any diner in the fun word u go to u get a waffle that can be cut into 4 sections. As far as chicken n Waffles d*** fuk unless u specify fried chicken and waffles, u will get tenders as for the gravy stupid for ur chicken, ur supposed to use syrup with this plate. If you did get fried chicken the cost would go up, duhh let me guess u would b**** about that to. Unless u no how a dish is served u should not complain because u sound like a fukn d*** a** who doesn't have a clue about dining out.. you wud be the type to go to a classy astablishment and say wats all the forks and spoons for by one plate.. ask before u comment and make a a** out of urself“

“Generous amount of food. I ordered Turkey, which is one of the dishes I rate diners on. Compared to other diners, this is a bit above average. However, even with loads of gravy (they gave me a bowl full) and with a mild stuffing, I felt it was a little bland. Good for people on a low-salt diet? I needed to add a lot of pepper and some salt. I still would have liked a more savory taste. Nevertheless, the portion was big and the "side salad" was more like a mini salad entree. Take a look at the pictures. Wait staff was very nice. Lots of people there on a Sunday morning, so you may have to wait. Price is slightly high, but then everything is compared to a few years ago. BUT I'd rather pay more for this kind of quality. I will go back when I am in the area again.“

“Good breakfast friendly staff“

“A real find in a heavily industrial stretch of Elizabeth. Grits are always an unexpected and welcome side dish option, at least up north and these come with wither cheese or butter. Hash was the perfect mix of crispy and soft. Good coffee also. Waitstaff is charmingly brisk. Anyone waiting near EWR should definitely head over.“

“The food is amazing my family and I love it“

“The food and the service. Always good!“

“I’m a lifelong Vicki’s customer and I absolutely love this diner. But on DoorDash the price for a side of fries is $12 which is absolutely insane. I feel like the prices in person and online for this diner keep increasing and I was always fine with it because I support small businesses and the pandemic was hard but small stuff like soup and fries should not be over $10. If that’s the case, I can’t keep eating here. Diners are supposed to be pretty cheap and now we spent over $30 a person for lunch.“

“I had a fantastic experience at this place. Diego provided excellent service and he made an excellent cappuccino. The food was delicious, and the smell in the restaurant was wonderful. It smelled of sweet pastries and cookies. My only complaint is that the AC wasn’t on, so I was pretty hot. Everything else was perfect though.“

“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.“

“I am so happy to have a place like this in my area. Small, friendly, comfortable and welcoming and the food is great. Proud to say I am a regular.“

“The place has gone down hill,the waiter look like a homeless person!!! I will never go back and the food was trouble“

“My breakfast was great this morning.“

“Every time I come here the food is great...Thanks Rich.“

“Haven’t had a bad meal yet!“

“Any place you can go where the food is really good. The service is great, they are very attentive. And everyone that is there is vibing, you can sit down in the dining room or in the front. I've been there twice in both times we're good times. Breakfast lunch or dinner...This is my spot“

“I hesitated to come here because I saw negative reviews somewhere about the food, but I’m happy that I did because it was delicious. The people were really nice, the food was great (huge portions), and it was clean. I will absolutely come here again and again.

Parking: Easy to get into and plenty of parking“

“Food is always great and on time“

“I went to the Allwood Diner recently with my friend and ordered a Greek salad with grilled chicken. My friend ordered a crispy chicken sandwich with fries. My meal was delicious and it was a big portion. My friend, however, did not enjoy her meal because the crispy chicken was just lukewarm and felt as if it was placed in a microwave after being frozen. Also, she got a small portion of fries compared to what other patrons who ordered fries had on their plate.“

“I enjoy eating here with my grandchildren ,they make the California burgers with bacon wow! Delicious and their fries are so crispy, very clean, family environment,good prices and excellent service I Highly recommend it .

Kid-friendliness: My grandchildren love it they order their milkshakes ,hamburgers french fries would not eat anywhere else they say.“

“We always have excellent food here. Breakfast specials… Eggs, toast, home fries, sausage, juice and coffee! They are very generous here! Service is friendly and accurate! Totally recommend the East Hanover Diner! And reasonable!“

“Good place to eat, located on the main street in the city of Maplewood. Outside there are several tables and chairs to sit in the summer. The atmosphere is good and the service too. The food served is satisfactory to the customer's taste.“

“We love coming here. We have tried many diners and by far this has been the best. We have already been here 3 times. I have tried something different every time and have not been disappointed. Angela is the sweetest waitress and I love how she remembered us. And her recommendations are always perfect. Always bring food home. We have a new favorite diner and will be here hopefully more. We live in Garfield, but it is worth the trip. Thank you for great food and especially the best service.“

“Home fries could have been thrown back on the grill but other than that we just had an excellent experience. Good food (omelet with bacon cheddar and mushrooms, and an eggs Benedict), excellent service and nice atmosphere. I enjoyed the experience more than I used to at the Train (had a bad experience with prior waitstaff and stopped going there).“

“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 always Enjoy our meals at the diner! They never disappoint no matter what we order. Don’t forget to try their cheesecake!! It’s soooooo yummy!“

“Great place to eat with lots of options and the dishes served are amazing!“

“Outstanding customer service“

“My children and I were on a stop over in New Jersey recently, making our way back from a holiday in South Africa, when we needed breakfast as we tried to adjust to the time change. Central Restaurant was a little bit of a drive from our airport hotel (about 5 miles), but they were open at 6:00 am and the online menu showed promise. The restaurant is a neighborhood greasy spoon, with all the cast of characters you would expect of such a place. The owners are Greek transplants, the clientele is mostly the black neighbors who live nearby, a line up of police officers and construction workers waiting for to-go orders, and travelers like us who may or may not know what they are in for. I saw grits on the menu which told me everything I needed to know about this place. They did not disappoint. First thing - to the restroom. If it’s clean you know the kitchen will be in order also. It was tiny, but clean and smelled good. My son ordered the Denver omelet with grits, I ordered fish and grits, and my daughter ordered the French toast breakfast with a side of grits. The grits were on point - creamy with that pat of butter pooling on the top. The French toast was just the right amount of crunchy (on the edges) and tender with a tiny bit more cinnamon for enhanced flavor. The Denver omelet was well cooked with just a bit of browning on top, but a tender and medium soft interior. The fish was unexpected as it had a coating and it was fried. But, the exterior was crunchy with a flaky tender flesh interior. I can’t speak to the rest of the menu, but our orders were all A-plus calibre for a neighborhood greasy spoon. If you like this kind of atmosphere and breakfast food, don’t miss out if you happen to be in town!“

“If it were up to my children, we would be eating at the Hillary Street restaurant and Grill every single day. We love it here, and the staff is the kindest and friendly as ever. The food is always absolutely delicious. Five stars from us.“

“Jimmy and Bernice work the wee hours of the morning to make everything fresh every day. From the Friday corn beef hash for breakfast ( sells out early) to the best fresh burgers. Homemade soups. While I worked in the area I ate lunch there every day for about 40 years. Miss eating there they made you feel like family.“
