My order was eggs over easy, bacon, home fries (crispy), and white toast. Eggs over easy was their only accomplishment. The bacon was like a brown jerky and tasted worse. The home fries were a red mush you could sieve through your fork. And the redness was attributed to seasoning which was more red than flavor. On to the white toast I ordered. I received wheat, unbuttered. When I asked why her response was "some people don't like it. So rather than asking for unbuttered toast they decided customers could put c,old butter on cold toast. Their cook has one redeeming quality, he can cook an egg over easy. If that's the only qualification for the position it's why he got the job. Anything else is an abomination to the plate. I have been here before and it was a full lot to park. This day, 2 cars. Word must have gotten out breakfast is less than tolerable here. The place is clean and well lighted.

I had a breakfast omelet with toast and potatoes and it was great. You can't go wrong with breakfast at a diner! We also had a patty melt but it was served on thick Texas toast so you couldn't actually eat it the way it came, you had to dissect it. I was in on a weekday for lunch and it was busy. The prices seemed a little high if you're comparing to a regular diner but again I think they were trying to have a little more elevated feel. I would definitely return if I was in the area.

I always envisioned…read moreit on the small side, but when I recently visited, the interior surprised me with well over ten tables and booths (plus a dining counter). The Verona American Grill comes across as a recently-renovated, cute cafe with a new menu, yet still having some diner-ish style dishes. I ordered a cheeseburger and it came with fries and coleslaw. The presentation was really nice, near perfect if the fries were warmer. The cheeseburger was excellent and cole slaw was fresh. Add some points for service and hospitality, so I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this business for breakfast/lunch/dinner.

Munchy's is the king of fat sandwiches in North Jersey. I've tried a bunch of places and nothing…read morehits like this. The Royal Flush is hands down the best sandwich on the menu. Everything is stacked right, it holds together better than most, and the flavor balance is perfect. You get crispy, savory, melty, salty, all in one bite. Every time. I drive about 12 miles to get here which says a lot. It also happens to fall right between home and work so it's become my go-to detour on Fridays. Early lunch stop or mid-shift reset, it never disappoints. Portions are legit and they don't skimp on fillings. You're full but not destroyed. The spot has that Jersey counter-shop feel. Order, grab a seat if there's one open, or take it to go and wreck it in your car. Either way the food travels well and the quality doesn't drop off. There is limited space inside to enjoy the freshest bite but tables revolve quickly. If you're into fat sandwiches or never had one done right, this is the place. Real ingredients, no shortcuts, every sandwich feels like someone actually cared about stacking it right. Easily five stars. Worth the drive. Worth the mess.

This is my second review of this establishment. In my initial review, I had issues with the burger…read morebeing overly soft, the fries being unseasoned and cold, and an unpleasant oil taste. However, this review is not about that experience. Let's start with the service. I placed my order with John, who was pleasant and easy to deal with. After speaking with the owner on Yelp, he suggested that some of my original issues may have been due to the timing and the fact that my order was delivered, which could have affected the quality. Taking that into account, I ordered the same item again. This time, the service was good, and I got home with the food piping hot. The issue I previously had with the burger does seem to have been caused by delivery time, as it was much better this time around. Unfortunately, the fries were just as disappointing. They were cold as soon as I opened the packaging, though at least they didn't have the old oil taste this time. Instead, it was very obvious they were frozen fries--confirmed by the presence of a plastic bag of frozen fries. They were again unseasoned, not even lightly salted, and somehow managed to be both cold and burnt at the same time. One thing that concerned me was the staffing. There were four employees present, but only two seemed to actually be working. John appeared to be leading things and taking orders, and there was someone cooking. One employee in a beanie seemed mostly idle, though I overheard something about deliveries, so I assume he may have been the delivery driver. Another employee, who looked around my age, didn't appear to be doing anything at all. That was a bit concerning. Overall, I updated my original rating from 2 stars to 3 stars. It was fine, but nothing impressive. If I were rating it out of 10, I'd give it a 4/10. The burger was good in terms of softness, but the onion rings and bacon lacked the crunch I was expecting. They were mostly soggy, though still an improvement compared to my first experience. The burger patty itself, without toppings, tasted dense and brick-like. If the fries had been good, I honestly would've rated this closer to a 7/10. However, I had to dock several points because I don't understand how fries can be both burnt and cold at the same time, nor how the quality managed to decline further between visits--from tasting like old oil to tasting unmistakably frozen and completely unseasoned. If I'm in the area, I might stop by for the burger alone, but even then I'd have to be in a very specific mood. The most disappointing part is that the owner personally encouraged me to give it another try. While one issue from my original visit was resolved, the fries somehow got worse. I know I'm ranting about the fries, but honestly--how do you mess up fries this badly?
