Overpriced and underwhelming grilled cheese

Wow! What a ripoff this place is. I'm surprised it's as popular as it seems to be. Ordered the $12.45 grilled cheese (see pic). Total basic b**ch of a sandwich and comes with absolutely nothing on the side. I'd say it's maybe worth $6.75. Throw in NJ tax and a tip and this sad sammy is just shy of $16. How's it taste? Nothing special. Super basic.

The service is decent. They ran out of grilled chicken but gave me the option to substitute it for oven roasted turkey breast. Asides from that the sandwich was good along with the cappuccino which I was hoping for a glass cup instead of paper. Somewhat pricy for the sandwich.

Came in for a quick, healthy and simple lunch and Batavia checked off all boxes. Food is ordered at the counter and they have a wide variety of sandwiches, soups and salads. This is basically like a non-chain gourmet version of Panera Bread. There is plenty of outdoor patio seating and indoor seating which is a mix of tables and cozy couches. On to the eats- I ordered a chicken salad wrap with tomato and cucumber. The wrap was stuffed with alot of chicken salad and the chicken was really fresh and all white meat. My Dad ordered some sort of chicken avocado club sandwich and enjoyed it. This is a nice option if you don't feel like sitting down for lunch but also want something that is healthy and freshly prepared. Although I was initially eyeing The Committed Pig up the street, I'm glad that I made the choice to take the healthier route at Batavia. I'm not in Summit super often but would certainly consider for next time!

Egg Sandwich- Breakfast
Vikram G.

Based on weekday breakfast time .. conviniently located near Summit downtown and station area. Amole paid street parking. Seemed like a comfy spot to work with free wi-fi, coffee and cafe like menu. Reason for 3 stars was food, had much higher expectations before entering in terms of presentation and service. Coffee latte and chai tea were given in to-go cups in-spite of being a sit-down order. Egg sandwich was nothing special - had to add salt and pepper with each bit to make up for taste. Although just before existing we saw soups being set up and vegi coconut soup caught our attention. Will try it put some time.

What a cool place to hang out and just chat, chat, chat. I tend to have a 3-hour breakfast with a certain co worker, let's call her Grace, and she usually buys it for me. Today she recommended the Breakfast sandwich and I ordered Huevos Mexicanos, but I think, what I got was Batavia grilled cheese- a panini in white french bread with eggs and bacon which I consumed in a heartbeat. It was a delicious mistake. Since her wrap hadn't come yet, we just chatted, chatted, and chatted. Ahh, they didn't get her order. She placed it again and ordered one more breakfast for me, the right one. That's generous! She loved her breakfast wrap and I enjoyed my second breakfast.

Soup bar!!

I L O V E D I T! Since the very first moment when I walked in I felt in love with this place. First thing I noticed was all the paintings they have all over the restaurant, and then I saw their soup bar , The smell.... SO GOOD. You can bring your family to this place, They have kid's meals, they have soups, salads, pancakes... everything! The customer service was outstanding, the guy responded to all of my questions about their salad's menu. Finally I decided to get a custom salad. It was very fresh and The best salad I have ever had! Something that made this salad different from the other ones was the Turkey they gave me. They Roast the Turkey e v e r y morning! I have to be back for the Soup Bar.

I have lunch at at Batavia whenever I'm in Summit to see clients during the week. Great food here! I've not found better soups, salads, or sandwiches in the area. All well worth the couple of $s as ingredients are top notch and service here is truly exceptional. They take care of you. Given the quality of the food, the 10 minute (or whatever) extra wait actually enjoyable. Its a cool, bustling scene with art on the walls and an interesting mix of customers. Highly recommend.

My breakfast sandwich- Taylor has, egg and cheese and I added some bacon too..  YOLO!!

What a nice place to start a morning with a cup of coffee, a breakfast sandwich and two friends to chat with!! Because I didn't have early morning meetings at work in the City,I decided to meet up with two girlfriends for a quick breakfast and Batavia was perfect. A quick walk from the train station and the perfect selection of breakfast items. I chose a breakfast sandwich - Taylor Ham, egg and cheese on their homemade focaccia and it was delicious! The bread was perfectly toasted with a slight crunch yet tender inside. My friends ordered oatmeal with fruit and yogurt with fruit - both much healthier choices than mine and they were both pleased with their selection. Besides the food, the restaurant was more like sitting in your friend's home. We could've stayed all day chatting and eating.. I will definitely be back to try another item from their menu..

Huevos Mexicans w coffee & oj.

One of my favorite lunch spots in Summit! The food is always good and definitely a healthier option if you're health conscious! Veggies are fresh, coffee is delicious and desserts are gluten free!

Food is good. It's overpriced, for sure ($13.95 for a salad? $4.95 to add turkey to it? What?!) Service is slow.

It looks like a nice brunch spot inside. Foods were very breakfast focused, and they serve…read morebreakfast all day. - Chicken Milanese, (4/5): salad was acidic and refreshing, especially with the cherry tomatoes. they gave plenty of nicely fried chicken - the other thing was it was on the drier side. They did give 3 flattened chunks of chicken, and it was filling - Crispy Eggplant: friend got this dish and she was perfectly pleased by the tiny pasta. A good veggie option! Just a heads up, I was charged extra for my chicken Milanese on accident, so double check your receipt!

It had been a while since I last ate here and when I say a while, it was like 8 or 9 years. During…read morebreakfast yesterday I was reminded why. To their credit the food is quite good and the service is attentive and friendly without being overbearing. So why the 3 Stars? Simple. There are no healthy options on the breakfast menu. Sure there are things that can be construed as healthy like egg white omelets, etc but there's no oatmeal, no overnight oats, no yogurt, no granola... Well, I think you see the point. To 90% of the egg, potato, pancake eating public this probably isn't an issue but to me it is. Ordered lemon ricotta pancakes which were quite good with a massive portion sure to delight most people but again, no short stack options and I barely made it through 1/2 of it. All in all, if the aforementioned issues are unimportant to you, I'd give them a try. If, on the other hand, you're like me, I'd look elsewhere to start my day.

And I'll tell them it wasn't but-- But once, there was the Diner, and it was a small room giving off warm light and smells of satisfaction. And anyone could come, and everyone would be welcome, and you'd sit in the chairs (which were just comfortable enough to keep you there for lunch), and get an earful of everybody else's business, and smile at the waitress, and complain to the waitstaff about what fools everybody's becoming, and gulp down two and a half cups of piping hot coffee from a piping hot mug, and eat a bowl of soup and half of an egg salad sandwich, and finish it off with a slice of pie, and in these small, often dirty, slices of time and place-- just for a little while-- America truly was good.

The diner is inside a classic boxcar and not much has changed since opening - which is the way it should stay. The service was great and everyone was friendly and accommodating. We arrived around 12 PM on a Sunday and waited about 10 minutes for a table. They don't have high pairs but they have booster seats that worked just as well. We ordered Taylor, ham, egg, and cheese on a roll, two pancakes with scrambled eggs, and the front toast plate that came with eggs and sausage. Taylor ham, egg and cheese on a roll was standard and good. The French toast was tasty. The pancakes were very, very good. Definitely order these! The diner is no-frills. It's classic food served the original way. It really feels like an authentic New Jersey establishment and I love that it hasn't changed.

Very disappointed, I live walking distance and have been coming here for the last 3 weeks. I personally think it's insane to get cut off, I asked the waiter "was it a manager?" He said no it's his decision since he cleared 4 glasses off the table that had been sitting there since 5pm. If you want to enjoy yourself avoid this place. Update: The server was new. The manger came out and fixed the situation, I was very pleased with the outcome as I only wanted one more. We ordered the flat bread pizza and it was very good compared to most restaurants in summit. Obviously I was upset prior, but rightfully so. I will come here again and continue the review on this place. Thank you to the managers who were quick to respond and came to us right before we left. If visiting summit I would come here and try the short rib!
