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!

Food was average diner food, nothing to write home about. 1 pm and there was a maximum of 15 customers in the entire restaurant. We were a party of 5 and were seated at a table for 6. The back room was empty except for 2 other patrons. I asked the owner/manager if we could move to a larger table in the back. His dry answer was Thats a table for 7. I asked him if he's expecting a party of 7 soon and he said no but they could come in. The rudest most unwelcoming answer. Then our waiter came and he was taking the order with complete annoyance and shortness. To the point where one of us asked if he was having a bad day. He replied no this is my job. Very unacceptable way to treat paying customers. As I was paying my bill, I sarcastically asked the owner/manager where his party of 7 were. His response was next time you come with 7 people, I'll Seat you there. Ans I said I DONT THINK SO! I also later found out, when the first person showed up they refused to seat her. (In the empty restaurant) inti Everyone showed up!!! The nerve. They were lucky they even had is as customers!! I don't know what their problem was as we were very polite and respectable. So they were just rude and didn't care for repeat customers or were anti muslim as some of the women in my party were obviously Muslim. NO WONDER THE RESTAURANT WAS ALMOST EMPTY AT LUNCHTIME!!! GOOD RIDDANCE to bad service!

The restaurant was well-staffed with smiling faces. My order was Pepsi/no ice and a tuna sandwich plus onions. A quick trip to the rest room and returned to a soda with ice on the table. No biggie, I felt. My sandwich took 20 minutes, a bit long for a diner that had only a few customers at the time. The sandwich came out with tomatoes, not onions, and had to be fixed. The sandwich was eventually quite good. Three stars as it's a nice place, yet my experience ordering two simple things was a bit off. I would try again and compare visits.

Dinner: I love how it comes with soup and salad, and any selection of their specials is so good and a good amount of food Overall 10/10 diner

First time I had…read moretheir food was in July 2025 and it has stood the test of time having been the place I've eaten at the most in Aberdeen. Not only is the falafel crispy and well seasoned, spanakopita flaky and yummy, super combo gyro divine but they are an entirely family-run business. Although I usually order for takeout, the service is quick (orders are ready in 25 minutes) and organized. You'll see their son and daughter working the register or cooking in the back passing down the family tradition. Honestly the greatest Greek food I've had in a very long time! Evangelo and his wife Georgia have been in business for over 20 years. A testament to the quality of mom and pop shops. Has a diner feel that's very cozy. One time I even waited and had a full 20 minute conversation with Georgia when I even walked in and ordered on the spot. I haven't been for breakfast or lunch but I'm sure they won't disappoint!

I'm a huge fan of their soups, whether it be the chicken noodle, split pea, broccoli and cheese, or my personal favorite their lentil soup. The grape leaves are also a personal fav and I'm always ordering for pick up because it's on the way home and their always fast with my orders. Sometimes it gets really busy and you have to play phone tag to reach them, but that's ok, their worth the call back a few times before getting through. Highly recommend if you're in the area. The gyros and/or platter is also very good, my husband gets it all the time, just be sure to ask for the fries extra crispy, because then they're perfect.

The service was quick and welcoming, and everyone made us feel at ease right away. The food was tasty and came out hot and fresh. Nothing fancy, just good, solid cooking done well. Portions were generous without being over the top, and everything we tried was good. My son got the French toast special which comes with 2 eggs, 2 bacon. Sausage and hash browns. He took on the challenge and tried to finish the plate but he simply couldn't. It's the kind of place that feels familiar, even if it's your first time there. Simple, friendly, and reliable--just what you want from a local luncheonette. I'll definitely be stopping back in the next time I'm in town.

There was a slight wait when we arrived , but we got seated almost immediately. Hubs ordered the Englishtown skillet, which has peppers, onion, potatoes, mushroom, broccoli, scramble, cheddar jack cheese. He said that this is one of the better skillets that he's had so far. It isn't frozen potatoes tossed in there. Hubs said that they put in so many vegetables that he didn't know what kind of potatoes they used. He was very happy with it. LOL. I ordered the 3 Golden brown griddle cakes with 2 eggs over easy. I liked it and this is my usual go to. But, hubs thought that it could be a little bit better. Service was quick and friendly. Will return to try other items on the menu.
