Hard to find a good diner thses daze. I had the eggs Florentine which were good. Also the potato pancakes are really good. Even the shrimp cocktail looked good. Generous portions, attentive wait staff. Highly recommend.
I used to come here all the time with my grandparents back when I was in college. We hadn’t been in years and grabbed breakfast here today again. It’s like nothing has changed, same fresh food, cozy atmosphere and wonderfully strong coffee! Can’t wait to go back :)
First time I went it was Great services, staff are friendly and food was amazing. Second time I went the waiter was rushing us to order, we didn’t even seat and was asking us what do we want to drink, plus we didn’t even finish eating and she was gave us that bill without us asking for it! Food was good however I won’t think I would come back to eat here!
First time I went w/ my family food was great, waiter was really good and treat us like family. Today I came back w/ my family and that new waiter they gave us, I felt rushed. Personally, I didn’t like that experience.
Nice little, cozy dinner in the middle of Metuchen, offering a variety of foods on their menu. Ask for Erin to be your waitress, she is very courteous, friendly and knowledgeable about the food served there. If you are undecided, Erin can make thoughtful suggestions based on what you like.
Great diner. Waitresses are the best. Good service and food.
Never had anything bad from here.Soups are always really good.
Went to dinner with my husband and friends. My friend and l order a special which was a rib eye steak with crab cakes. Hers was to be medium rare and mine was to be medium. When they came out they were both well done. We sent them back. So we started to eat our baked potato until our order was correct. The waitress came back a few minutes later and said the cook said the steaks were too expensive to remake for us so order something else. We were not happy and did not reorder. So on the bill they charged us $7.00 for the two baked potatoes. Never going back there again.
We love Metuchen Diner! So many choices, so everyone is happy, and the food is always delicious! Some favorites include the chocolate chip pancakes, the Italian omelet, the steak salad, the fish and chips, and the Mexican wrap. And dont miss out on the cheesecake for dessert!
Best service and menu in area. Always have great food here and enjoy the atmosphere
Warm inviting atmosphere with Pleasant the waitress Judy was amazing shes a rockstar give her a raise the raise excellent breakfast recommend it to anyone will tell all my friends
I loved the food there. First time I came with my parents and we loved it. Very clean, and delicious food. The waitress was very kind, the parking location is great, and theres a lot of food varieties. Would go there again in the future
The waitresses there are great. Management not so much. I Called in for a pork roll egg and cheese sandwich. To my surprise they charged me eight dollars and fifty cents for a breakfast sandwich!! $8.50!!!!! They are overpriced and the food is mediocre at best.
Good service and pretty good tasting food for a reasonable price. I would return.
Best place i ate in this town! food was great! the Waitress was so nice nice and really really kind! give this place 6 star.
The second worse diner we have been to in the state of NJ! Pastrami Reuben was served open faced, which did not say so on the menu, yet waitress said that’s how all of our sandwiches are. Never heard of such unless it says open faced in the menu..didn’t have sauerkraut, as stated on menu and all reubens are with...it had cole slaw...yet waitress didn’t understand...other two people I was with ordered “open faced”pastrami combo with corn beef and other the with horse radish...(which there was none of) and the other no corned beef and pastrami was tough and inedible. Also, check your bills because they are sneaking in over charging for tea coffee and burgers.. not the price in the menu...and the worse chicken noodle soup have ever seen and tasted. Wish I took pictures.Service was terrible.how about hot tea with a soup spoon!
Great experience. Breakfast was delicious! Thank you
Last time going here..I ordered a sandwich that was inedible...overcooked and tough...the kitchen refused to make it right. No way to treat your local customers. We are the ones keeping you in business. Sad....the service was great. I felt bad for the server.
Honestly the best diner I ever went too! Staff were great and food was amazing, I definitely will be coming back here
I Always have good experience at this place.
The staff was really nice. Waitresses are very attentive to our needs. Place and the restrooms nice and clean
Best beef and barley soup in the world!!!!Go get some it is just soooo good!!
Food was good, service was good, place was clean... would go back again
It was good food, large portions and our server was great.
Always a great experience. Staff goes above and beyond.
Excellent menu, very good service and nd staff very polite
Food is great and the service is wonderful.
Ive been coming here for almost 24 years. Good local place for a great meal.
Very nice and inclusive breakfast menu. Our food was very good, as was the service.
Great food and friendly service!
Great food. Awesome ziti. Excellent service. Only problem is the disinfectants they use in there. I know because of covid they have to keep on top of things but holy crow its overwhelming. Burns my eyes and nose. Please switch to something else. Please.
Didnt hit the spot for me. The foods were hot though. The attending waitress was super helpful
One of the best diners in the area for the classics like the burgers and the hot open turkey sandwich. Great matzo ball soup.
Food was good but the $2 sharing charge not cool especially when the other person ordered a coffee
Best Diner in the State of Diners ! Excellent Staff and Ownership. Always quality food and friendly service. A privilege to be a customer.
Loved it!! Nice customers, lovely server... Friendly and efficient... Delicious food served just the way I like it, AND at a reasonable price!! Ill be going back again soon!!
Very nice retro style diner
We enjoy the generous portions. The specials are excellent. The service is truly amazing. The staff are friendly and fast. Been going there since they opened. The senior menu is also great. Never was disappointed.
Delicious! They give you a ton of food for a reasonable price. I will definitely be going back!
Family atmosphere. Fantastic food!
Good food. Not to busy
Nice diner with good food and great servers.
Had breakfast herePriced wellWaitress friendlygave me a good breakfast
Good food and great staff.
Veal was equivalent to what I imagine eating fried salt would be. Sausage was like burnt deep fried cardboard (supposed to be sautéed). Italian hot peppers were deep fried, tasteless and paper thin.
Always has a special in the menu. Love getting those combos with soup or salad and a dessert 🎂🍪
Good food. Good service.
Great service and delicious food
Good diner food and reasonable pricing
Food was good, service was slow, They only show CNN, I’m never going there again, don’t let people try to brainwash you.
BEST BREAKFAST IN TOWN
Good food, excellent service
Went here yesterday 10/25 around 11am-12pm one waitress had her mask below her nose and I was with my girlfriend and it made her feel very uncomfortable so my girlfriend politely asked her to pull her mask up because it made her feel uncomfortable being the whole covid situation going on the waitress pulled it up then came back to our table to take away our empty plates and again it was down. We have a picture to back this all up was over all a bad experience.
Great service.
Ordered a triple decker pastrami, received just a pastrami sandwich, that would have been ok but it wasnt even real pastrami. More of a pastrami one would get at shop rite in the deli counter.
Great food, enormous portions, cant beat the prices! Their Senior Menu is fabulous! There is no salad bar, but they still serve a generous side salad with meals (choice of soup or salad...the soup is also the best there is!). Look for their 10% OFF coupon in the coupon saver mailings that come around periodically.
Coleslaw is to die for. Good burgers. Good price. Definitely recommend. I felt safe during Covid-19.
Very courteous staff, I enjoy the meals I get, usually just sides and coffee, which excellent as well. I have a service dog and they were able to seat us so she wasnt in the path of anyone; she also recommends the home fries, they disappeared very quickly. You cant miss, even if its only for a quick coffee and sit down.
Great food and serve
The soup and food was excellent. They took the time to make the food just right. Actually tasted like home made. The waitress was very kind and made sure we had everything we needed. Definitely will return and recommend to others. The place was very, very Clean.❤🌷❤
Great food,clean diner,service is always great and fast.
Very courteous, very fast pick up and service.
Yearly event for last 8+ years...Service excellent...Food OutstandingNever consider any place else
I go there almost every week. The food is great with generous portions. It is also very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend this to everyone.
This is the local go to place for my wife and I. The food is always delicious and the staff always friendly. An added bonus is they never mind cooking up our breakfast potatoes extra crispy and giving me a side cup of gravy for my french fries (guilty pleasure). Keep up the great work!
It was ok, felt food was not as fresh.
Whey always have good food.
Great place! The food is delicious and plentiful! We showed up for breakfast with 10 people (2days in a row)and we were seated immediately, our orders came quickly and all together and our waitress and busser were very pleasant and helpful and did a wonderful job! Id eat there on a regular basis if I lived anywhere near there. I really was very impressed.
Very clean and well organized. We were seated about 7-8 minutes after arriving at a busy time. Staff was polite and very accommodating to all our needs. Food was good diner, home style meals and at a reasonable price. All in all no complaints.
Great service and very friendly staff
Always Good services and food
Our server was very nice and the food was fine. Its on the small side for a diner and the parking is tight. I cant quie put my finger on it, but I didnt get the best vibe from this place. Maybe it just felt a old and could use a little freshening up.
The food is always good.
Their Classic Eggs Benedict was delicious.
Lots of food very good
My fiancé had fish it was the worstService on other hand was excellent
The service was very smooth and done with ease. The food was awesome. We will definitely be back. I would also recommend this restaurant to everyone!
The food is amazing!!The service and atmosphere was very friendly and clean! The potato pancakes were delicious!
Nice cozy location. Food was prepared quickly. Nice proportions, friendly service. Eggplant was a bit bitter and wrap a bit bland.
One of the best, diners in the area. Great food... Super quick service.
We went there on a Sunday and they would only show CNN on the TV and I asked the waiter if I could change the channel because all the TVs were on CNN so when I changed the channel the TVs can only CNN, so if you want to be fed only the communist bs from CNN this is your place to eat, but if you want to keep an open mind go the Edison Family Restaurant on Oak Tree Rd... and by the way $2.80 for coffee and tea is a rip off...
My favorite diner in New Jersey. Should be rated at 5 stars. The food and service are unparalleled with other diners in the area. This is a regular go to spot for me whether with family or friends. No matter what you order, you will not be disappointed however I highly recommend their breakfasts, dinner specials and burgers, and especially their soups. Great for takeout too.
This is one of the great diners in New Jersey. Good size servings, good food and reasonable prices. The staff is cheerful and accommodating.
Amazing food, friendly staff🐣
Had coffee and desert after a gi-nourmous dinner at Harolds NY Deli. C-19 precautions in place, including social distancing.
My husband and I go every Sunday after Mass with another couple always good food good breakfast and well continue to go and tell at this
Went there earlier for a Western Omelet and had asked for the omelet to be fluffy.I didnt want it to be browned from the pan. - Well: it was brown! and well-done. Pretty bad if u cant make eggs.
I love this restaurant because the food is delicious, always hot & fresh. My favorite time is breakfast, their bacon is so yummy & I get it extra crispy you just can not stop eating & the pancakes are so fluffy & mouth watering, just plain good! I will say that I find in a lot of places where the horses, person seating you need more training or more joy because I have been there many times & no smile, no asking how was your meal when you pay nothing & I think its sad because we patrons are the ones who keep the business operating. We all have our days, but smiles look better especially when dealing with the public. But it does not stop us from going because the food & atmosphere & the waitresses are always very pleasant...
Good food and service..
I got French Toast it was good. Its what I expected. Our waitress was super sweet and fast. It was clean and overall a typical NJ Diner. I would go here again.
