Al Mac's Diner is a diner. A diner is not a gourmet place with nice furniture, nor is it a refined atmosphere. A diner is a simple place that is timeless. Al Mac's is simple and timeless... Nothing too interesting or trending on the menu. No pancakes decorated with clown faces or colored sprinkles. No low-fat keto crap either. No poke bowls, etc. Very basic stuff here. Moey's sammie was wicked greasy and yummy. My Chix and Waffs were OK but were Tenders (not bone-in) and had White Gravy. Waffs were very soft and well-made and were the star. The dish was quite teenie however and I could have easily eaten two orders. Let's just say, they have coffee and they have eggs n' things. It's food. The establishment is appropriately janky, i.e., beat up and old. Friendly enough service. Food is diner quality... Recommended if you want to dine in a diner... It's legit... My review is as basic as Al Mac's Diner... Kiss my grits!

We originally were looking for another restaurant but when the parking issue prevented that, out popped this diner. I've been in those glossy chrome and plastic diners in NJ. Gaudy. Al Mac's diner is a no frills throw back to the thirties and forties. What's outstanding is the food. We sat on leather green and white retro chairs at a black topped table. We were greeted with a smile by Cheyenne. I asked her to guess what we wanted from the dinner menu and she knew we wanted the meat loaf. Just wonderful. It's served with lumpy mashed potatoes, two large cuts of meat loaf and a bowl of brown gravy. This is basic food done right. The coffee was unlimited. I knew there was a secret ingredient in the food which I will now incorporate in my version. In a few weeks we're going for breakfast. We're looking forward to their versions of pancaked and French toast. Had I room after this meal, I would have had the bread pudding. It's a warm memory. This is a good place to go for well prepared food. Oh, the bathroom was clean but like the rest of this historic diner, it's basic.

Portuguese sweetbread French toast

The eggs were cooking perfectly and were very fresh. The yolks were almost a dark orange when I broke them. Some of the best over easy eggs I have had . The Portuguese sweetbread was huge and thick and tasted marvelous, would definitely come back just for this !!!! The only thing that I did not like was the home fries. Even my fiancé who never heard of things called spices thought these home fries were bland. They were also very soft and mushy. The customer service was outstanding!!!!!!

Great old time diner tahr takes me back a few decades. Super friendly service and very reasonable prices. Full assortment of breakfast and lunch options with a slight Portuguese flair. The your choices omelet (including a very good caciola) is a heck of a value at 10.99. No frills, just good and plentiful. Cannot go wrong!

Home fries, sausage, eggs over easy, toast and pancakes. :)

Everything! The food is great! The service is outstanding, and the owners are fantastic!read more

Today was our first (and not last) visit to The Hamilton Diner. We go there at 11:00am on a Tuesday…read more(day after Labor Day just to keep the metrics in place) and the parking lot was packed. We did, however, find one about 4/5 of the way into it. Entrance way is at the end of a ramp, which I would interpret as a fairly tight squeeze if I was in a wheelchair. However, there was a fellow in an electric wheelchair making his way down the ramp as we were coming up, and we all made it up (and down) easily enough with just a pause. Hostess desk is immediately in the entrance. Very personable lady said it'd be a 25-minute wait, and that was pretty accurate. I gave her my phone number and received a message to download Yelp! including a "Your place in line" feature. Benches to sit and wait - one outside and three inside. We were 4th in line, and then 2nd, and then 1st. I felt a vibration from the phone but saw no message. So I went to the desk to check, and they were ready anyhow with 4 empty tables. Seated us quickly and our waitress Ashley was there in short time. Paula (wifey) ordered some Egg Sandwich and a small order of French Toast. I ordered Southern Benedict, which was a buttermilk biscuits base, topped with a fried chicken patty, 2 poached eggs, and smothered in a creamy sausage gravy, and it came with an order of home fries. We were both very happy with the flavor and portions. In fact I was rather full and didn't eat the last 3 or 4 bites. I also had an iced coffee, which was nice and strong. The place is very much where neighbors and families meet and greet. Lot's of "Norm!!" moments. Pricing if fairly average -- it was (with a 20% tip) $45 for us two. My only complaint had nothing to do with the restaurant, but with adults who don't know how to tell a kid not to do shrill whistling in a restaurant. No more details on that. Again, not the restaurant's fault. We definitely would like to go there again, especially to order some bacon, as that, in my estimation, is a very important factor for breakfast -- I just didn't have any reason for it this time, what with the chicken and the sausage gravy.
