Been here before for breakfast and lunch and the food was ok, typical diner fare. My wife and I ate dinner here last night. My wife's chicken was flavorless and dry and my pastrami sandwich was gross - all fat. I also had a Greek salad which was pretty sad. I will not be back. read more

We would never go back! Just terrible this restaurant when we got in the restaurant nobody said HI or HELLO..when I was ordering food the waitress was yawning .. They had pictures of food on the menu that they didn't even have. When I pointed to the picture and asked what it was the waitress said in a nasty tone "Don't look at the pictures we don't have those" Food is overpriced and very bland. AWFUL!! read more

Our second visit was a worse experience than the first. A man, we assumed to be the OWNER, with a shirt soaked with sweat (obviously just back from a workout) behind the counter and in and out of the kitchen. Hostess didn't greet us and several waitresses walked by our booth and never acknowledged us. All employees looked very angry!! Staff yelling in the kitchen. Will never go back. No third time is the charm!!! read more

Worst burger ever. Horrible presentation. dry as a dessert. Staff just did not give a crap.

Normally the food is quite good here.. tonight we ordered take out.. i ordered a reuben and my hubby french dip.. i ordered brown gravy on the side with my fries... never got it.. after paying almost 40.00 for 2 sandwiches.. my hubby let me sample his au jus... it was the WORST i have ever tasted in my life.. it was like dish water!! i will not be going back here again.. between the expense and awful food we received.. not worth it! read more

No toast for eggs, no syrup for pancakes, no extra bacon as ordered. A teaspoon of home fries with the omelet. $50 for a meal that should go in the trash. Wont order again from the Brick Diner. read more

Rude is key word. Forget the customer is always right... Not at this diner! Do not order hot food to go as it comes in styrofoam containers! You get home open it to find your food has melted into the Styrofoam and tastes completely horrible like your literally eating plastic. This has happened more than once even after requesting a tin for hot food. If you call & complain don't expect to hear "I'm sorry" because it won't happen! They Won't care and basically brush you off treat you rudely as if it's "Your Fault" and how dare you be angry that your food tastes horrible! read more

I read the reviews and realized most were upset over their margarita or some other trivial thing that could easily be remedied and didn't really have significant bearing on the place itself. With that being said, the service was amazing. They couldn't have been any more accommodating or friendly. Our food and cappuccino was perfect and satisfying. I recommend the desserts, which are fresh and made there. You won't be disappointed if you're focused on what really matters. read more

DONT DO IT!!!!... Turn around now!!!! ... Abort mission... Get to the choppa! Just joking guys but do not visit this establishment. The burger was still frozen and they got my order wrong twice and I had an instant stomach ache eating this filth of a diner. Beware you might possible turn into a mutant after consuming this food. read more

Brick Diner - Omg horrid - American Near Me - Brick, New Jersey

I will probably go back here and give it another shot but let me explain in my pros/cons like fashion. Pros: So the lions share of the food was pretty good. I got the Reuben as I often do and even though it was almost sans Russian dressing they gave me a generous side cup and I was fine. I didn't really eat my fries but it was more based on being stuffed and not that they were bad or anything, run of the mill diner fries def not "bad". The restaurant is pretty huge, there is a dining room a luncheon section and a back room for a party or reception or what have you. Prices are fair, def not bad, no one will be bankrupted by Brick Diner. Cons: The server tried her best but and I might be picky because I eat out a lot but I couldn't get any space to breath, and I guess being over attentive is better than not being around at all but every time I called her over she seemed upset. Im sorry if the 20 times you were around I didn't need something and you decide to walk away when I finish my soda. The french onion soup was bad. The cheese wasn't cooked enough and im not one to send something back but my mom and her boyfriend encouraged me so I nutted up and asked them to but it in for awhile longer and she brought it back 2 seconds later not looking much different affirming my believe in not sending food back. Guess the broth was passable but it was like 4 bucks for some okay broth and crap cheese, I'll pass. I didn't get dessert but my moms boyfriend got the black forest cake straight from Shop Rite, it was easily the most awful cake I've seen in awhile and it was sold to him as the second coming. I don't wanna go on and on about this cake but we all tried some and by the middle of the small slice 3 fat people couldn't make it through it was almost a game of truth or dare, with the dare being try the cake again and the truth being "Isn't this cake horrid?" Verdict is the diner isn't horrible but some aspects can certainly be. Now all this can be substantiated or changed for the better (or worse) with a single visit. Im sure even the waitress could've been having an off day, she seemed nice enough in the long run, but there are better diners...now to find one in Brick. read more

Been here multiple times, never had an issue, but my experience this morning was absolutely atrocious. Waitress never told us her name, didn't see a nametag, but the receipt said Aileen- if you are ever assigned to this woman, I would highly recommend for you to ask to be seated elsewhere. It started when I, being lactose intolerant, asked for any kind of dairy substitute instead of the half-and-half creamer I was given (I usually just suck it up and take lactase pills but my stomach was a little funny and I didn't want to if I didn't have to): she asked me what I meant, I said "something like almond-milk?" she immediately sneered, and used a very condescending tone when she informed me "oh, no, we don't have any of THAT here, besides, the kids would drink all of it anyway". Needless to say I was a very off put by the reaction, I felt I had asked very politely and that it wasn't such an awful question, she seemed almost personally offended by this and it showed for the duration of our stay. For food I ordered my usual, pointing to it and giving her the number off the menu- "what is that? You have to tell me what it is, we changed the menus very recently" (they were unchanged from the previous time we'd been there over two weeks prior), and asked for half bacon half sausage, to which she replied "oh, no, you're not allowed to do that. It's either all bacon or all sausage" (the last time I had been here I was able to do this no issue, and was even asked how I wanted my bacon cooked). To finish off our experience with this wonderful woman, we were left sitting for almost ten solid minutes, forks down, with her standing less than 30 feet away completely ignoring our existence. She attended the table next to us with her back to us and immediately borderline ran so we didn't have time to catch her attention to ask for boxes and a check so we could just leave. Our previous visit was absolutely wonderful, the waitress was a fantastic person who definitely understood customer service with a smile and how to make people feel welcome, but after this visit I'm honestly not sure if I'll be returning for breakfast any time soon. TL;DR- I don't know what almond milk did to so deeply wound Aileen, but I wish she wouldn't have treated me like dog shit on her shoe just for asking for a dairy alternative so I didn't have to suffer through my lactose intolerance to drink coffee at 9am. read more

My first and only visit was mediocre. I ordered a well done California burger. The menu says it includes lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo, served with cole slaw and pickles. It was served with only lettuce and tomato. It was served rare not well done. There was no onion, no mayo, no cole slaw, no pickle. I asked about mayo and the waitress brought it. Halfway done eating, I wanted to verify the rest so I asked for a menu. When I asked about the cole slaw, the waitress said, "Do you want that now"? Maybe they save that for desert where she comes from. She brought cole slaw and a pickle. I showed the waitress a cross section of the burger which was rare and said, "I did order well done, didn't I"? She said, "That's what I wrote down". Items served should conform to the Menu description. The experience was very Mayberry (or Green Acres). The cashier did not ask, "How was everything"? I would have told him. read more

The owners are nice and takeout service is good. Food is ok for typical diner. Can't complain so approved by Shenster. It's really 3.5 stars but rounded up because Yelp don't do 1/2 stars. read more

Brick Diner - The usual Jersey diner setup - American Near Me - Brick, New Jersey

I've been here plenty of times. The food is alright, nothing to write home about. The service is usually very quick, but they always seem unhappy. Last time I was here, a couple waitresses were snapping at their manager when he told them to do stuff; it made me feel very uncomfortable. Other than that, I've never really noticed anything horrible at this place: it's usually clean, food is edible. read more

Would like to give a review but could not stay to finish what we ordered. Came in for dessert and coffee. Service very friendly and attentive. Unfortunately ordered the strawberry cheesecake which was served with mold on it.. We ketthe server know who would not give us check and she did let the owner/night manager know who seemed not to care. I could not recommend this place to anyone. read more

This diner is worlds better than Rainbow across the street. Staff is very friendly and prompt. Our waitress was Tracy - she was great and had a sense of humor. Chicken orzo soup was delicious and boyfriend thought the matzoh ball soup was very good. His salad was fresh and the cucumbers were as fresh cut as can be. I ordered a cheeseburger with disco fries and it came with your generic diner cole slaw and pickle. Cole slaw seemed fresh and not packaged. It was on the sweeter side and not drenched or heavy. Pickle was crisp and not limpy. BF ordered chicken kismondo and it was pretty delicious. Not a bad meal when you don't know what else to do or want a bang for your buck with the dinner specials. It is a diner though - as long as you know what to expect from your average diner, you'll be pleased. read more

Great service and very polite. But I do not recommend getting the steak the picture is not the same as shown

Prices could have been more fair but besides that we got a good portion of food. The bacon was awful but the eggs,toast,and home fries were great The waiter was kind The place was clean The coffee was great and the the water was clean I recommend breakfast read more

My wife and I were visiting relatives, and they took us to the Brick Diner, inspired by my wife's mention that we often eat at a couple of diners in and near Seattle. I ordered a French toast dinner, which consisted of the French toast, maple flavored syrup, ham (or bacon or sausage), and a very small glass of orange juice. The French toast was OK, but wasn't anywhere close to my brother-in-law's home-made French toast, or that of a Seattle area diner, but good enough. The maple flavored syrup was OK, but nothing like real maple syrup. (Offering the real thing, even as an extra-cost option, is uncommon enough that I can't really count the fake stuff against places with normal prices.) The ham was fine; I generally order it because it's so reliable. I forget what my wife ordered, but she also found it good but nothing special. I couldn't keep track of what the rest of our party of eight ordered, let alone whether they liked it. The cost was reasonable. Service was good, except that the server never refilled my tea with hot water. But I can't expect the same kind of service as I get in Washington state, because New Jersey has has the same pitiful minimum wage as the federal minimum: $2.13 per hour for tip jobs. (Washington servers get a minimum of $9.19, plus tips; no exception for tip jobs. Naturally that draws only the best workers into server jobs.) It looked like everyone else at our table was served without even that small oversight. The server was good about coffee refills, just not tea. My three star rating means "A-OK". It's good food and good service, for a very good price. Others might rate that as four stars, but that would be grade inflation. read more

AWESOME !!!! Great food, great service, clean, friendly staff. Much better then the Rainbow Diner, across the street. The waitresses speak English here and are very attentive. The Rainbow Diner has their busboys waiting on the tables (who have a very limited English vocabulary). I'm a weekly customer for many years !!! Highly Recommended. read more

food was so good. pancakes are very yummy, omelet was stuffed, very quick service and cheap! home fries were SO GOOD

I had the French toast with crispy bacon...all was deLicious the bacon was crispy Like I like it just right..Thank you job well done

Ordered take out and they forgot a soup (which we were charged for). When we called the man on the phone legitimately started yelling "what do you want me to do about it." He was so loud he could be heard from the other room. All we wanted was the charge reimbursed and it took approximately 5 minutes of him yelling at us to get him to understand that it was on him to rectify the situation. The second, forgotten soup was listed on our bill and he insisted there was only one. I'm sorry, but typically in the service industry the customer is always right. We were respectful when we called and he became irate within seconds. If you can avoid whoever this man working there was I'm sure it would be a pleasant experience; however, be sure not to correct him or ask for something you ordered that they didn't serve you. Awful! read more

We went here tonight and it was absolutely horrible. The burger, the sandwiches, everything was disgusting. The owner was rude and cranky. Never ever ever again. read more

Mozzarella sticks, burgers and fries were cooked to perfection. Crispy. Plenty of food. Waitress was kind and helpful. Overall, nice diner.

The breakfast has improved a lot from previous visits. When I am in the area and looking for breakfast this will be a much easier choice to make. read more

Amazing food and staff. I personally like it better than the Rainbow Diner. The food was so good and it didn't take forever to receive it either. Definitely coming back. read more

Will never go back. Couldn't get served even with the 3 waitresses standing and gabbing nearby. Walked out after 10 minutes and asking them for service twice to no avail. We stopped at the counter to explain our experience but the person there couldn't be more disinterested.. Wow. Wont ever go back. Our menus are probably STILL sitting on the empty table months later. read more

Food quality has changed. I had to sent eggs back 3x. Our server, Francine is a delight and tried her best to correct the situation. I have come here many many times and had given it 4 stars a year ago. My, how things have changed. read more

Have been there several times but last nite was our last. Rude staff, approached our table with "what are you drinking" ... food was mediocre. Asked for a substitution of fruit instead of toast, she sarcastically laughed and said it wasn't allowed. I simply told her whatever the customer wants should be allowed with any additional cost. Fruit comes and it was all brown and looked like it's been sitting in fridge for days. Waitress was bothered to be working. Manager rude as well. Will not go back again. Will much rather go across the highway to Rainbow Diner. read more

Walked in, got seated, and walked out. Staff was not very welcoming. They seated us in a totally secluded area from where most of the guests were already eating (like totally opposite side). Waiter just threw our menus on the table like he didn't care. Left immediately and went to iHop. tip: Customer Service is #1 read more

Wish I could give it no stars We had been here many times in the past and it was a pleasant experience The last two times I can't figure out what has happened Staff is rude including the owner or management food was terrible and place was dirty Onion rings were freezer burned and smelled funny ordered hamburger medium it was well done dried up as a matter of fact but the cheese was not even warm much less melted Tried to substitute fruit for the toast on somebody's order waitress just laughed at us same rude waitress that came over to our table first and said nothing but are you ready Will definitely not be going back to this dump read more

I have been coming to the brick diner for the past two years. I work for a large hvac company, and eat out a lot because of all the hours I work. the food I eat at the brick diner is like eating home cooked meals. I don't like fast foods. the soup is really good also. there cakes are better than the ones you buy at the bakery. John and Pete the managers at brick diner are top notch.i go for breakfeast every moring before work and dinner at least three times per week. there prices are very good. I have eaten at a lot of diners and this is one of the best in my opinion. joe h. read more

Went in one night (early morning, actually) with a large group after a late night out. The owner just stood there watching us the whole time like we were a bunch of trouble makers-which we are not. Then my Ruben came out without dressing. The waitress brought out some dressing on the side. She explained that the owner (the watch-dog) said that the Ruben actually doesn't come with dressing. I'm sorry, since when?? I came to the conclusion that he said that to cover his ass so that he didn't have to take it off the check. Then my friend had asked for lemons on the side for his water. She brought out a dish of lemons and proceeded to pick us he lemons with her hands and out them in his water! Like, really? You just put your dirty hands all over his lemons! I'm sure that's how they do it when they're preparing drinks in the back (I'm not naive), but I don't want to see it in action. Thinking about what could be on her hands made me nauseous. If that wasn't enough, my other friend didn't finish his meal and asked for a to-go box. Rather than just handing it to him, she picked up his sandwich with her hands (again!) and put it in the to-go box for him! If the food was at least decent, I would (maybe) understand the owner/manager (whatever the hell he is) being such a prick. But the food is sub-par at best. Only good when you're drunk after leaving the bar! read more

If I could give this establishment no stars I would it was also ordered the baked have chicken dinner special the soup was OK salad was not great the chicken was so dry I couldn't eat it I tried to tell the waiter he gave me a hard time and said I could have something else so I ordered a burger then he told me I couldn't get dessert because I had gotten a burger instead of the chicken! Save yourself the trouble and do not go here read more

This place is really disappointing. The service is brusque, and not in that good Jersey way. The food was terrible and one of the waitresses stood at the next table loudly talking about "nasty" people, lawsuits, and blackmail throughout our entire meal. One of the most unpleasant dining experiences I've ever had. read more

Sorry...maybe breakfast is good here. Had ordered a burger..it was like rubber. Worse was our waitress who never came to check on us she had bleach blonde hair. Perhaps with some better smiley waitresses and quality food, it could be worth it. read more

Holy buttfuck where do I begin? Well... the slaw was pretty good. It's had just the right amount of Jizz sauce and it seemed fresh. The pickles kinda looked like chords though. That doesn't mean they were bad, just small. Next up my French onion soup arrived. The flavors where like a party in my mouth and every spice was invited! To follow that up my my moz sticks. Yummy yummy in my tummy is where I will end my though on them. Over all, the food good but the man in the bathroom was creepy. No... I don't want to see your dick. And the man who called himself Big John was taking a shit with the door open. read more

I have been a loyal customer for many many years. Good food, good Service, good relationship. Until today when they made me feel like a valued customer before they even knew who they were helping. I ordered food by phone after a long cold day at work. Hot soup from Brick Diner is always satisfying. When I got to the diner I realized I had lost my debit card sometime during the day at work. Embarrassed, I went back to my car to call them and try to cancel my order. I apologized and explained I had lost my card and only had a few dollars in cash. The owner said "don't worry come inside. Better a few dollars than to waste the food because it is already made." I went inside and apologized again. I asked what the total was and assured him I would be back the next day to repay the balance. He smiled and said" I know you. you're a good customer don't worry about it. " He could have made me feel awkward or gave me the "scowl" I deserved, but he treated me like a person and not a food order. That is excellent service! Above and beyond! If you didn't get it by now they have a loyal customer for life!! Eat here!!! It's amazing!!! read more

Would absolutely never recommend this Diner for a party of any size. My sister's repast there. The wait staff was very rude and unprofessional making gestures behind guests backs. They seemed like it was a bother to do their job. The food was less than mediocre for the expense. Very disappointed. read more
