The New Monmouth Diner (NMD) consistently outperforms when it comes to food quality, freshness,…read moretaste and presentation! On top of that, the diner is always busy and the well organized and efficient management team as well as the kitchen and waitstaff teams keep the "customer experience" moving at a calm and reasonable pace! We have never waited more than 10 minutes for a table. Their menus are unlike the usual New Jersey diner menus which are very similar with voluminous pages of every imaginable food category and style. This type of menu requires most items to be delivered to the restaurant packaged frozen (NOT FRESH) and prepared for serving! As a retired food service professional, I've noticed that over years, NMD has perfected their menu to ensure freshness by offering a curated selection of customer favorites and Daily Specials with many specials including soup OR salad and small desert like ice cream or pudding. Next time you are in the area or on your way to or from The Jersey Shore. We highly recommend NMD!

We were away the days leading up to St Pats so we didn't get a chance to get the corned beef and cabbage we never thought ordering it from a diner it would be very good but we gave it a shot. WOW, we would order this all the time from you guys if you put it on the regular menu. There was plenty of corned beef (5 slices) the cabbage, potatoes and carrots were cooked perfectly, not too mushy and the chicken soup that came with it was delish. What more could you ask for? Oh I know, some soda bread and butter to go with it! Lol serially, you need to add this to your regular menu we went to reorder it today and its not there, so sadly it was just a special, what a bummer!

Pretty much your everyday diner, but maybe more on the dated side…read more Having read through some of the past reviews, I completely agree with other reviewers calling this "basic" and "standard" because there's really no other way to put it. The interior was typical of older diners - carpeting almost everywhere, endless number of booths and elderly patrons. We decided to dine here on a Saturday morning prior to hitting up the beach and walked in at around 11 AM. Unlike some other diners we had been to in Northern NJ, Kings Arm was relatively empty with a few tables occupied (by what looked to be locals) here and there. Our waitress approached us immediately after we sat down and she was very friendly and accommodating throughout our meal. As for the menu, it was as big of a menu as any diner we had ever been to - pages upon pages of breakfast items, dinner items, etc. It's what you would expect when you walk into a diner - a seemingly unlimitedddd number of things to choose from that will make your head spin. LOVEEEE IT. As for the food, it was pretty mixed from our end. My better half ordered the Pork Chop Milanese, while I got the Country Fried Steak with 2 eggs. For the kids, they had the Kids Spaghetti and Meatballs and Mac and Cheese. First, the Pork Chop Milanese. My wife actually reallllly, realllly liked it. Even though the pork chop looked dry, she thoroughly enjoyed it, which kind of surprised me. I had a bite of it and I thought it was just OK. As for my Country Fried Steak, I was verrrrrry disappointed in it. The steak wasn't very good and the white gravy just tasted and looked "old". Also, the home fries that came with my dish were not crispy and, in fact, very powdery. We also tried a little bit of the Spaghetti and Meatballs and Mac and Cheese, which were both alright. The spaghetti was al dente, but only came with ONE meatball, and the Mac and Cheese was totallllly Kraft. Overall, I expected a little more from Kings Arms, but, we took a risk and we missed on this one. Everything about the diner just said "outdated" and average to us. I can look past the decor typically as long as the food is good, but the food wasn't great, so the outdated decor kind of seemed worse than it probably is.

You know it's a special place because families are always there. And don't be afraid to use the bathrooms. They are clean. Love this place.

This place is awful…read more Prices are insane. I ordered a standard breakfast combo. Eggs, home fries, bacon and waffles. It was 20$! Usually these come with toast but no that's an extra charge and the waffle was extra charge. Waffles were soggy and undercooked. Food was blah. Also stupidly I ordered a chocolate shake. It had no chocolate taste at all. Tasted like milk with a drop of chocolate syrup in it. Doubt it had any ice cream in it. It was 9$!!!! I could've gotten a killer milkshake from shake shack for that price. Will never go back here. Really rude staff as well. Was not greeted when I walked in and when I was trying to pay the guy didn't even acknowledge me. Awful diner, awful prices. Awful service.

It's about an hour and a half drive from Philadelphia, but it's always worth it. I ordered the General James Honey Fried Chicken for the table, and oh my goodness, it was delicious! The four jumbo wings came out piping hot and so crispy! We poured the sauce over the chicken after putting it on our plates, and the combination of that crispy, hot chicken with the sauce was absolutely delicious. Definitely something I would order again! For my meal, I had the brisket grilled cheese with its delicious combination of cheeses and French onion soup. One of my dining guests ordered lamb with mac and cheese and spinach. I tasted the lamb, and it was incredibly tender! They also raved about the mac and cheese. Another guest ordered the oxtail Rasta pasta, which I sampled, and it was absolutely delicious. Another enjoyed waffles, and we also tried the cornbread with strawberry butter. I appreciated that the cornbread was lightly sweetened and not overly sweet. The lavender lemonade was another hit, with just the right amount of sweetness. What I really appreciated was the hospitality. Because we were traveling from Philadelphia, traffic was unpredictable. The staff graciously allowed me to adjust our reservation while waiting for my guests to arrive and seated us at the next available table once everyone was there. That was greatly appreciated! If you're planning to visit, I highly recommend making reservations in advance. For larger groups, call the restaurant directly and plan as early as possible because they get extremely busy. They also have a separate takeout area with seating where you may be able to order and enjoy your food if you don't have a reservation. Overall, my Philly Tastemakers guests rated their meals 10 out of 10! Everyone enjoyed their food, and I was happy to introduce them to one of my favorite dining spots. The hot latte and Bottled Shirley Temp Tops Diner, you did it again! Great food, wonderful hospitality, and another memorable dining experience. We'll definitely be back!

I can't say enough about him. He made our experience absolutely fantastic. The disco fries were HUGE and came with a large side of gravy. I like that they didn't put the gravy on the fries so they wouldn't get soggy. We also got a turkey club which was perfect and blueberry pancakes. You also start out with fresh delicious homemade bread. We were full but ordered cheesecake cake and chocolate cake to take home. We were so impressed how much all of the staff really hustled! The bathrooms were nice as well and offered mints and mouthwash. Great experience. Especially our server. Bravo!!!
