Great service, food is very good and generous portions great place to go to for diner with the family

Had the veal special. Was very tender and a generous portion. Service was excellent and attentive.

Been here several times. Great burgers sandwiches and breakfast. My kids love new Gelato selection. Their tuna salad, chicken salad are great. Excellent coleslaw and pickles. Friendly attentive service. Annabella was our server last time she was very nice. They are also byob. And Garys on 23 North is one the way read more

Super groovy diner with excellent food and great customer service! My husband and I ordered takeout from Alps in May 2020, and it was just what we needed - a break from cooking & delicious! I HIGHLY recommend the turkey club and well done mozzarella sticks. Also, you shouldn't leave without a black and white milkshake. They are so good! We called ahead and placed our order over the phone for pick up. When we arrived, we waited the parking lot until receiving the call that our order was ready, so we could pick up without crowding the restaurant. Steve is the sweetest guy and gave us an extra milkshake for the road. Can't wait to go back. read more

Extremely large menu, lots of options. Everything we ordered (a party of five) was excellent and affordable. A great place to stop for a bite anytime. read more

We ordered the Thanksgiving dinner basically and it was pretty good! Not bad at all . You got a lot of food for the money. Will be back trying more food! read more

Diner has been under new ownership for over a year. I personally have not been in the diner, but have ordered delivery from them multiple times. I must say the quality of food is substantially better than it was and delivery is quick. I have tried chicken panini's, omelets, hamburgers and other dinners all of which have been very good. No complaints. Give the new owners a try! read more

If this review was based solely on architecture and decor, Alps would get five stars. It's a cool looking spot with a great looking blue sign out front. The interior has a retro/art deco feel that was very appealing. Adequate service and typical diner fare. Chicken fingers and fries, corned beef hash and scrambled eggs, a take out ginormous salad for my wife. No reasons to complain. Everything was well prepared and tasty. Only downside was an obnoxious patron two tables away who ignored his spouse and bellowed into his cell phone. Something about liver cancer. The conversation lasted most of our meal. Marvelous..... Much better than Plaza 23 but not as good as Pompton Queen. read more

Had a great breakfast around the holidays and just ordered chicken marsala and a meatloaf for dinner. Couldn't ask for anything better really hit the spot everything was delicious.

Looking for a new place, we tried Alps Diner. It has been a number of years since going there. The new owners are fantastic. Have come back five times since! Very friendly owners, great food every time, and fast and very professional service. Also can't beat the very reasonable prices and generous portions. My new favorite go to diner. read more

I go to quite a few diners and New Jersey is "diner state" if I ever saw one. I am happy to say that I have found a great diner in Wayne, NJ, and it is Alps Diner. The service is spectacular and it is run by a very nice couple - Steve and Patricia. From the time I walked into the Alps, I was made to feel welcome and my business was appreciated. But how is the food? I am happy to say that the food is great. It is not your usual Diner fare. They do things a bit differently. So if you are expecting the same ol' same ol', then you are setting yourself up for disappointment. The Alps changes things up with menu items I haven't seen in diners before, while still having quite a few of the standard favorites. I like a diner that stands out, and the Alps does so effortlessly. I have had the Pulled Pork Burger, which was delicious and when I requested it be served on whole wheat toast instead of a roll, they cheerfully accommodated me. I also didn't want fries and instead asked for a vegetable (steamed broccoli). No problem. Whatever I wanted. Today I had a Cobb Salad, but it had a generous portion of nicely grilled and seasoned chicken breast on very fresh greens, with Swiss and blue cheese, egg, and bacon. It was delicious served with the Greek salad dressing. So far, I have always been delighted when I have gone to the Alps diner. It is effortless dining there and I really felt welcome by the staff, even sitting at the counter (I love diner counters!). Lastly, the place is extremely clean and bright, with lovely tile and wood trim throughout. This is a handsome diner. The service is spot-on and friendly and the food is very well prepared and properly seasoned. I have eaten at many a diner in many States, and the Alps is right up there with the best. It should also be mentioned that the prices are quite reasonable. Many diners I have been to are much more expensive. Alps Diner seems to come in at around 20-25% lower than other diners in my area for the foods I like. So if you like something a bit beyond the norm in your diner and appreciate great service by good people in a beautiful venue, give the Alps Diner a try. You won't be disappointed! I have gone twice and had perfect service - and I plan on going whenever I am in Wayne, NJ. read more

I always have a good meal here! Been a long time customer and the new management team is great. Megan is also one of the best servers. She takes great care of her customers and we always look forward to seeing her when we go . read more

Been here a few times recently. The food is good. The staff is extremely nice. Prior to dining in I had only had delivery from here which was good as well. Additionally, if you give your email address at the cashier you will get all kinds of specials and coupons which have been a great deal. The employees are what made the place for us. This place is formerly a burger joint but now its much much better. Its also not as crowded as most local diners, which is good for the customers not necessarily for them. read more

My partner && I went here for breakfast. Diner is clean, looks nice && they are very attentive. Idk if im spelling her name right, sorry if i'm not, but the Waitress Aisha? Sooo attentive ,nice & friendly! Few days later we ordered dinner through grubhub, instantly within a minute the waitress had given us a call to finalize on some details on our meals && i've never had that experience before. I enjoyed that because most places make the decision for you, let alone give a courtesy call to see what side you wanted. Delivery was maybe 30-35 mins, I honestly feel like it was quicker than that. &&& with complimentary dessert! Great diner! Great service && staff. Highly recommend. Huge portions! I ate 3 times out of my plate, so for the price it is so worth it! Thank you alps diner && staff! read more

Alps Diner - Diners Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

Always passed by here and the lot is empty a lot? Last couple of times it seems to be busier. Try it? Yes why not if not good , we don't come back. Greeted warmly by the owner Steve and his wife and seated in a comfortable booth. I liked the new Retro looking decor and it was very clean including the bathrooms. Since we checked In with Yelp we got a free appy. We chose the loaded baked potato skins. I have never had potato skins loaded with so much bacon, they were really good! I chose a dinner special of Fish and Chips with a cup of their Mushroom barley soup. The soup was old Style diner homemade and welcoming on the cold evening we visited. The fish and chips came with French fries and a couple of onion rings. This was definitely freshly made as it was a real beer batter on the fresh fish that was perfectly cooked. The flavor was very good. Good onion rings as well. Tarter sauce also was good. My dining companion enjoyed her French Onion Soup as well. The service was very good and the waitress later even introduced us to her young daughter who was assisting her. The owner came over and thanked us for coming in knowing it was our first visit and also sent over a slice of carrot cake to finish our meal. It was a very nice gesture but the cake itself was a bit on the dry side. Overall we would visit there again as the prices and portions were very good. And the hospitality was great! Give them a try! read more

First of all the staff is extremely friendly!!! I wish the food was better because I'd go for the staff alone. The inside is really cute...love the typical diner look. Sadly,let's face it, it's all about the food. I got a cheddar broccoli omelette. It was fine..but really lacked seasoning. Eggs need a bit of salt. Overall I just tasted some really good cheddar. The home fries lacked flavor as well. I'm glad we came and checked it out! I love diners. Sadly once is enough. read more

I had a terrible experience here! The cups were dirty, the soup was sour and the coke was expired. The best was when I asked for a refund, I was yelled at and they made me pay for the soup that I didn't even have more of a half spoon of. Terrible experience. read more

Amazing! The service is great. I brought my grandfather here and the owner came out and talked with him and brought over some stuff for us to taste. I can't believe how nice they are here. The food is very good! Try the vegetable panini. read more

Went to this diner for Father's Day lunch w/ my wife. Waitress could care less. Came over, asked what we wanted to drink, came over once to take our order (we weren't ready) then didn't show up again for nearly 15 minutes. Wife asked 3x for a cup of coffee. Didn't bring it any of those times. When she brought our food, she again forgot the coffee. While eating she never came over to see if the food was ok, offer another cup of coffee or anything else. I needed a few extra napkins, but she was talking to customer at another table about TV shows "manifest," "Debris" and "lost." Couldn't care less for us. When she finally did come over, i asked her for a few extra napkins -- she brought 2. Owner could care less as well. Spent time filling fridge with drinks. Will never return and will tell friends, family and others to never go here. Not interested in spending my hard-earned money here. read more

My wife and I recently ordered takeout from the Alps Diner, and it was great! From the black and white milkshake (a must-order) to the Turkey Club, and everything in between, our food was delicious. The owner was incredibly personable and brought out our order quickly--with a few extra fries thrown in for good measure. The classic larger-than-life diner menu means we can continue to eat here over and over again before we've exhausted all our options. We can't wait to try everything. During these unprecedented times, it's important to support your local businesses, and we can't think of a better place to spend your money than Alps Diner. read more

Service was warm and friendly and food was delicious. My husband and I ordered breakfast items... food came out fast and was not greasy. Our waiter (Danny?) was great and Patricia at the register had such a warm demeanor. We will definitely be back! read more

On a damp night like tonight was, soup soothes the soul! Steve, the generous and accommodating owner of Alps, kindly provided me with a generous portion of Mushroom Barley soup. It was delicious and full of lovely mushroom chunks and sufficient barley in a creamy base. Just the right amount of seasoning too! I also had the pleasure of trying some of their fresh and succulent apples. The meal left me content and satiated after an arduous workout! Thanks Steve! read more

Standard, classic diner. Five of us went for breakfast on Sunday and were seated right away. Our server was great, she was friendly, funny, and attentive. I ordered the Florentine omelet (spinach + feta, and I added tomatoes.) It was OK. Nothing amazing, but not awful. I think everyone else enjoyed their meals, too. The food came out pretty quickly. read more

WORST. CUSTOMER SERVICE. EVER. Yeah, I'm talking to YOU Mr. Bully Tough Guy on the phone. ZERO STARS. Tonight I placed an order at 7:00pm through Delivery.com as I was working late and my husband was finishing family obligations and it was too late to go food shopping and cook. We each ordered a dinner, he ordered an appetizer and I ordered soup. Delivery.com automatically took $5 off my order because GUESS WHAT MISTER MAN, your restaurant AUTOMATICALLY ALLOWS Delivery.com to take $5 off of $30 and $10 off of $50. You know what that means? I have NO CONTROL over it. I have a screenshot picture to prove it. OK - so order is placed at 7:00 (7:04 to be precise). I walk in my house at 8:00 and get a call at 8:10 from someone at the diner who says: MISTERMAN: "Did she call you to tell you she couldn't deliver to you?" ME (politely): "No, I never received a phone call." MISTERMAN: "Well she couldn't deliver to you before but she can now. You still want the food?" ME (still politely): "Yes, that's fine, we'll still take the food." MISTERMAN: "But see, YOU took $5 off your order and IIII have to send my driver 6 miles away for this. And I lose out." ME (Okay, WTF?): "Um, I'm sorry?" MISTERMAN: "You ordered from Delivery.com, right? You entered a coupon for $5 off, and that's not good for me, because Delivery.com won't pay me until January, and I will only get $30 for this order." ME: "You should take that up with Delivery.com because it's automatically entered on YOUR menu. There's a green bar that highlights $5 off of $30 and $10 off of $50." MISTERMAN: "NO I don't have to take it up with Delivery.com, I have to take it up with you because you already paid through Delivery.com" ME: "Well that's not my problem, I didn't enter a code, it automatically came off my order when I checked out. So you should really go call and sort that out, because your business is automatically giving that discount." MY HUSBAND, in the background: "Are you fighting with your mother again?" MISTERMAN: "NO what you need to do is cancel your order on Delivery.com, and then pay my delivery guy with your credit card when he gets there so I can get that $5 back." ME: "Cancel the order entirely then and don't deliver to me." MISTERMAN: "Okay, very good!" *click* I've NEVER had an experience like this in my entire life... over $5!!!! We took our money elsewhere and ordered DELICIOUS sandwiches from Bella Notte. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS PLACE. They don't want your business, they want your $5. Better not drop dead on their floor because they'll swipe your watch before calling the ambulance. #byefelicia read more

Alps Diner - HEY Mr. Telephone Bully, here's the confirmation that YOUR establishment automatically allows Delivery.com to take a discount off the order! - Diners Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

Horrible diner experience. What diner does not have milk for its patrons coffee or tea?! Waitress was as slow as could be and the food was mediocre at best. Ordered omelette which the cheese was not even melted and the scrambled eggs were cold. It's states grand re opening but the diner itself is outdated and needs a makeover and good cleaning. Will not come back and do not recommend this diner to anyone. read more

My husband and I were looking for a reasonably priced place for a Saturday lunch with our 2, 5 and 7 year old. A friend suggested we go to the Alps Diner, close to where we live. My parents had stopped there a few times on their way to visit us and always said the food was good. It was clean, had nice views and decor, and an expansive menu. The staff was friendly. I had the chicken Chipotle panini which was tasty and came with a fresh salad. The kids behaved great and we are looking forward to coming back again. read more

This place is amazing! I have dined in a few times and I am always treated like I am family! The food is always delicious! If you need any type of catering this place is my go to! I use them on a weekly basis for my pharmaceutical sales job. Steve is always accommodating with every one of my orders and gets the food there on time. All my clients always compliment how great the food is and ask where I order from! I wouldn't be able to get my job done without the catering services from Steve at Alps Diner! read more

Went there for lunch at 2:00 place was empty, didn't leave until 3:40. Waiting so long for food out of 5 orders one was right. (Hot dog) for a 2 year old. They said reason why food wasn't made correctly like the menu read, was the dish washer was cooking and the owner was helping. If I knew the dish washer was cooking when we walked in, I would have walked right out. All we ordered were sandwiches nothing big. Sandwiches were very skimpy also. Will never go back there again. read more

My husband and I had breakfast here this morning. Excellent food excellent service. And the host was so sweet and friendly. Plus fresh squeezed orange juice. So yummy!! We will definitely be back! read more
