This small mom-and-pop diner reminded me of a waffle house only cozier booths. Very busy, but they…read morereally move a lot of hungry people through fast! I enjoyed one of the best breakfast meals I have ever had here! The Spanish omelet with chorizo was prepared perfectly and sided with hash browns with peppers and onions, piled up more than I could eat at a price that makes you want to return tomorrow! My coffee cup remained topped off from a friendly and attentive server. Makes me wonder why Downtown diner can do this for 25% less than the beach town diners on the west coast?

I've eaten at a lot of restaurants in my life, but nothing compares to the experience we had. Yes,…read morethe food was phenomenal. Yes, the ambiance was perfect. But let's be honest: this place runs on one thing and one thing only, Josh. From the moment we sat down, Josh didn't just "serve" our table. He orchestrated it. The man moves like a hospitality ninja. Water glasses never dropped below the halfway mark. Empty plates disappeared as if teleported. He anticipated our needs before we even knew we had them. At one point, I casually considered ordering another drink, and somehow Josh was already walking toward the table with it. Telepathy? Probably. When we asked for recommendations, he didn't just list menu items, he delivered a passionate, Oscar-worthy monologue about flavor profiles, textures, and life-changing sauces. We ordered exactly what he suggested, and I'm convinced my taste buds ascended to a higher plane. If Josh told me to try something I've sworn I'd never eat, I'd trust him without hesitation. The food itself? Incredible. Perfectly cooked, beautifully plated, and clearly crafted with care. But somehow it all tasted better because Josh brought it to the table. I'm not saying he seasoned it personally... but I'm also not ruling it out. He handled a packed dining room with the calm confidence of someone who was born for this. Other servers were great but it was hard to notice anyone else while witnessing Josh in his element. It felt less like dinner and more like watching a masterclass in hospitality. By the end of the night, we weren't just satisfied customers, we were Josh fans. If this restaurant has any sense, they'll put his face on the menu, the sign, maybe even the building. Five stars for the food. Five stars for the atmosphere. Ten stars for Josh. We'll absolutely be back, mostly to see Josh.

And he said it was awesome. I told the waitress what I wanted and she let me know it is the Bacon Combo. Eggs were as ordered, hash browns crispy but not as crispy as the bacon. Oh my. So good. Toast was actually buttered well and I got some strawberry jam to complete the meal. If you are ever on South Orange this is the place for breakfast.

We were served coffee in mugs that didn't appear clean, and our server didn't present very well, which made things feel a bit off. The pancakes were tough and hard to cut, and the French toast was flat and underwhelming. Pricing was fair for what you get, but overall not a spot we'd return to.

He was a riot just as nice and friendliest can be! Gotta start with that truly made us feel valued. When you walk in, you can tell this as a family owned establishment by the atmosphere. That is exactly what we were looking - something local owned and preferably family owned. When you walk in, you're made to feel like Family, and that is excellent! The food wow the portions are humongous. I have to start with that. You definitely will not leave here hungry! The corn beef was fresh. I wished it had more onion and some bell pepper, but it was still great. I sampled the chicken salad and that was out of this world and the hamburger looked fantastic. As we were leaving, they had just put out muffins and cinnamon rolls. What a tremendous tease! Here it is Passover so I cannot have it and pistachio muffins are my favorite and they looked phenomenal. I was so tempted to break Passover so early for the looks of that muffin, but I knew it was a test that I had to pass. That was not easy! This was definitely worth the drive and the value for the dollar! Next time I am in Daytona, I will be visiting again and Katie bar the door if there are no pistachio muffins, ha ha ha they were even warm!
