Well, if this isn't egg on my face, then I don't know what is. I've been eating takeout from Broad Street Diner for months now. Months! It only occurred to me recently that I'd never said a proper thank-you. That's shameful. That's like borrowing your neighbor's snowblower all winter and forgetting to nod at them come spring. So here it is: thank you, Broad Street Diner. This is the review I should've written long ago. Four stars. Not five. Let's not go nuts. Perfection is the business of angels, and diners are run by people: gruff, charming, overworked, underpaid people who know the power of a hot turkey sandwich in a cold world. And God bless them for it. The daily specials are the real poem here. You know how people used to say, "You can't beat the value"? They stopped saying it because there's no value left in anything. But then Broad Street Diner waltzes in, swinging a Cajun meatloaf platter like a peace treaty, and suddenly I'm eating like it's 1993 again. The economy may be a flaming zeppelin plummeting into the sea, but somehow these folks figured out how to serve a full dinner: entree, soup, salad, dessert, the whole shebang, for less than the cost of a movie ticket and a bottle of water. I've had their fried clams, their fish and chips, their crab cakes, and each time I think, "Yes. This is civilization." Is it fancy? Hell no. But it's honest. It's generous. It's warm in all the places the news is cold. Do yourself a favor: stop pretending you're above diners. You're not. None of us are. We're all just scrambled eggs in the cosmic skillet. Broad Street Diner gets that. read more

I was just there and the waitress seated a couple first who came after us. That's unacceptable and unprofessional. We should have been seated first and she lied and said the couple came before us. Never eating in this horrible place again. She should be ashamed of herself!! read more

Excellent value for your $$$. Truly! I'm comparing to other local venues. If you see my other reviews on diners, you will know. I had a burger (medium rare) with fresh tomatoes onions lettuce. All excellent! Service was wonderful. Portions were ample and there were no games with refreshment refill limits like another place in ewing I've gone to. My waitress was awesome. In fact, all the waitresses give off good vibes! Attentive friendly and professional. The location is very nice. No real issues to share. I need to return to try other dishes to really assess the 5 star potential. I just can't go there right now. 4 stars is excellent, nonetheless. read more

They are awful. This is what came in my rice pudding I called and they would not accept the responsibility for this and insinuated the validity of this I would absolutely give them a negative rating if I could read more

I ordered the 2 eggs with a side of meat and they forgot my scrapple and a whole tons of home fries I even ordered home fries bc the meal didn't come with it. This is usually my go to spot for breakfast, but idk ‍ how they can forget the scrapple since it's listed in the special as 2 eggs and choice of meat, and I was sooo looking forward to my scrapple and eggs. My home fries and toast are cold even after I had to wait to order delivery until 11:45am. Hopefully this is only a one time occurrence, because they usually make an amazing breakfast read more

our last two trips to this diner have been completely disappointing and I will not be going back. dry fresh roasted turkey with white gravy that was clearly pure fat flour and water and completely tasteless. Cold soup and side dishes , Waitress had to come back to table trying to trust her memory by not writing down orders..waited on others after not attending to our needs. Previous trip COLD meatballs on the spaghetti, had to wait for fresh coffee. and to serve that notorious nasty city trenton water to your diners is completely unacceptable! I could say more bad than good but i'll stop here. read more

First time here. Food was pretty good, but service was not. Two tables who sat after us got their food before us. Our server took our order twice and the second time, she said the food was almost ready she just had to "make sure" that she put it in correctly. Then we watched her finally put our order into the computer. When our food came out, it was wrong. She was apologetic, but very disorganized and made our quick brunch into a horrible long experience. read more

Food is not good at all. White bread for french toast and cheddar cheese on disco fries is insane. Food left a bad taste in my mouth.

I don/t know what is happening to the Broad Street Diner but it was not good the last two times we went. First we went to breakfast and I ordered a Philly Cheesesteak Omelet. The waitress delivered the omelet without any steak on it. The chef forgot the meat. About a week later we went there for dinner and I ordered the Broiled Seafood Combo. The waitress delivers me Broiled Crabcakes. After waiting ten more minutes, the Broiled Seafood came out and the seafood was terrible. It smelled fishy and had little taste. My wife had a Julienne Chef Salad with little to no lettuce in it. This diner used to be very good but it has really gone downhill lately. We are done! read more

Not happy! In my salad I found mushy lettuce. You need to check your salad supply each time you make a salad. It was gross! I really wanted that salad too! Never again. I'll order from Pat's dinner from now on! read more

This is the second time Broad Street Diner sent me something other than what I ordered. I order the fried seafood combo via Grubhub. It's supposed to come with scallops, shrimp, flounder, clam strips and a crab cake. My order was delivered with two crab cakes and the sides I picked. Not what it was supposed to come with. WTF, that's not what I ordered and paid for, nor wanted. Grubhub gave me an adjustment, thankfully, but I wanted what I ordered not what they decided to send me for whatever reason. And if they didn't have the items, a phone call should have been made. Otherwise get kitchen staff who know what they are doing. Ridiculous. read more

This is our go to ordering spot for breakfast because it is always good and always ready very quick! They are always busy when I am picking up, which to me is a great sign, and I have never waited long to be acknowledged for picking up either even when they are busy. It's a typical diner vibe which to me feels like comfort and a hug! read more

Service is great and I enjoyed the food. I've only ever been for breakfast and the occasional late night burger. Remember it's a DINER which means diner food. Overall I love coming here! read more

Just went for the 1st time. It was pretty good! The French fries were great asked for extra crispy. And I like my chicken salad sandwich. I wasn't too much of a fan of the beef barley soup- it was more tomato base than beef broth. But the shiner of the meal was the amazing carrot cake!!!! Omg no nuts which was such a smart decision we thought of them. The flavor and icing was so delish! My son was super happy he was able to try it. I would have bought the entire cake if I could. Love to know where they buy it. Soooooo good! We will be back!!! read more

My wife and I have eaten here a few times and I never wrote a review... This diner was clean and well kept when we were here the last few times... The waitresses that served us were very helpful and friendly as was the entire staff... The food here was very good and the portions were a good size... Our meals were always good too, whether we had breakfast or dinner... Their prices are competitive... I'm sure if we are ever in the area we will definitely eat there again... If you're ever in the area give them a try and I'm sure you'll have a good meal... read more

We always love going to broad street diner. A ring was left on the table with a pair of gloves, the gloves were given to the desk, but the ring was missing. I am very happy to report that the ring was found and picked up and I thank everyone at our favorite place to eat. My daughter is extremely happy and it really made her day as she was really upset that she left it. So thank you! read more

Very friendly. Great service. Really good food. Highly recommend. Best bacon egg chesse on bagel I've had in a while. Bacon crispy

My friends and I came here for takeout late at night on a Saturday. We ordered some simple foods, just pancakes, and a wrap- all of the food was delicious and reasonably priced. The woman who took our order was friendly, and the food was made quickly. I would definitely come back! read more

The last few times I have come here, I have noticed the poached eggs on my eggs Benedict to get smaller and smaller. Today, one was pretty much nonexistent (see photo). My mom's toast was also stale. The other time we came here, the sausage was old. I've come here quite often recently and really wanted to make it my new go-to diner. I hope things start to get better so I don't have to find another breakfast place to frequent. read more

We've ordered delivery from here several times. Back in 2021 I wrote a 2-star review. We've ordered from there several times since then and it had gotten better. But not today. The mashed potatoes were runny, tasted like instant and no gravy. The beets had carrots in them and were disgusting. The stuffed green peppers had a very weird flavor. The bean soup was good (they always have good soup). I know I said two years ago that we wouldn't order from there again. But we did and it was good for a while. The last few times it wasn't great but I believe in second, third and fourth chances. I am done with them. read more

Broad Street Diner - Stuffed green peppers and mashed potatoes - Diners Near Me - Trenton, New Jersey

Not great. Came here for breakfast and sat at the counter. One of the staff was on a break and was leaning over the counter directly in front of me eating a soup. Awkward! I ordered a farmers omelet which was ok. I did bite into an eggshell though but I guess that happens sometimes. The place behind the counter looked messy and I had to ask for water and tabasco a few times before the server finally remembered. Not sure what was in the eggs but I felt uncomfortably full for the entire day and into the evening. Sorry I have to scratch this diner off my list. read more

I didn't like the food at all. The service was great and the atmosphere, typical diner. I was there for dinner. I will probably try breakfast next time. read more

Stopped in for breakfast this morning. Service was fast and server was professional and kind. Coffee was hot and refills were consistent. Pancakes were the star of the meal but everything we had from eggs Benedict to the breakfast potatoes were solid and tasted good. Would definitely come in again if ever in the area. read more

Stopped her for dinner. Waitress, Destiny, was wonderful. Friendly, talkative, attentive. I had the broiled crab cake special which I was reluctant to try, but they were very good. Chunks of crab. My daughter has a BLT, which had a huge amount of bacon. Boyfriend had the chicken Marsala, which was also good. We ordered the potato skins, which had a lot of bacon and cheese. None of us finished our meals. Boyfriend and I also has soup, I had chicken noodle and he had beef barley and salads. All were good. We did get rice pudding and cheesecake to go and both are delicious. Would def go back read more

Broad Street Diner is a wonderful place to eat. With a varied menu, ample portions, and knowledgeable servers and daily specials, you really can't go wrong. My favorite is stuffed peppers and cabbage and my wife loves their baby back ribs and crab cakes. The peanut butter vanilla ice cream is noteworthy. Give them a try! You'll love it! read more

New to the area and first time here. Absolutely more than satisfied with my experience and will definitely return again. The diner is comfortable and provides a relaxing environment for quality food and conversation. My server, Dottie, was very attentive and ensured my coffee stayed topped off and hot!! After visiting another diner in the local area that was significantly overpriced, I was pleasantly surprised to find the prices at Broad Street were very reasonable. An exceptionally great value for your money and time at the Broad Street Diner and highly recommend a stop in and see for yourself! read more

Great spot for a quick casual bite to eat. My usual order is the French onion soup and a patty melt. The soup is your typical French onion, but always tasty and satisfying. The patty melt is my favorite. Absolutely delicious with a side of crispy fries that will definitely hit the spot and leave you very satiated. read more

We order up our Sunday morning breakfast here almost every week. Whatever we order is either good or excellent. Pancakes, Cheese omelet, eggs Scrambled eggs or sunny side up they have all been good. We always call in the order and by the time we get there it's usually ready on the "pickup" table. I have never eaten inside there but on the weekend mornings I go there is usually a line of people waiting for a table. read more

We just moved into the neighborhood and have been here so often. The salad is always fresh and the soup is to die for, clearly made fresh everyday. We love this place and are so excited to live around the corner! read more

Will keep short and simple since was a pickup order, service was great due to few of the waitress asked about my order soon as I walked in but unfortunately was the most skimpy sandwich I've ever had. The meat could have fit half the bread to make it a full half sandwich order. The taste was there but now that things are getting back to "normal" let's give $10.00 worth of food. read more

Broad Street Diner - Philly cheese steak - Diners Near Me - Trenton, New Jersey

We first tried Broad Street during COVID times, the take-out was just abysmal. We wanted diner food last week and decided to give this place a try again as we are not huge fans of other diners in the area. We were pleasantly surprised! Typical diner menu with some surprises, but the food was reasonably priced but very tasty. Staff was very nice as well. This could be a regular place for us now. read more

Recently I went to the Broad Street Diner in Hamilton. It's only about 30 minutes from my house, however, it's taken me about 3 years to get there. Atmosphere: The inside is a lot bigger than anticipated. It's one of the top biggest diners I've been too. The outside is a very tall building. It's a big, shiny, metallic diner, but it's a clean diner. Coffee: The coffee was brewed hot. I could have used a few more refills but other than that it was fine. Food: The menu at the Broad Street diner has pretty much anything you could ask for in a diner. They have breakfast, lunch, dinner including seafood, steak, pasta, really whatever you want. I haven't had pasta in a while so I decided to order pasta with meatball. I don't think I've ever ordered that a diner. The meal was good but was bland. It could have used some sort of seasoning or maybe more sauce. It looked and tasted as if they poured a half a can of sauce on top of pasta and cooked giant meatballs on top. The meatballs were good. In all, it was a decent meal but I would probably order something else next time. Service: Our waitress was very friendly but at some points she was extremely quiet and it was hard to hear what she was saying. I felt like I was constantly asking, what? Dessert: I had been back and forth with dessert and ultimately decided to order the chocolate fudge cake with ice cream. One thing unique about the diner is they have several flavors of ice cream instead of just chocolate or vanilla. I decided to go with cookie dough which was a good choice. The cake itself was excellent. It was rich and tasted homemade. The ice cream was definitely suffering from Freezer burn. It needed to dethaw for a few minutes. Cost: $ For my coffee, meal, ice cream, and cake the cost was $20 which was a good deal. Overall Thoughts/Would I come back? I liked the Broad Street diner and it was a good choice. Next time I'll get a different meal but in all, I liked it. read more

Stopped in on the way home from the Hamilton NJ Transit station for a quick, cheap late night dinner. Food was great and massive portions. Soup, salad, dinner, and dessert all for under $20. The diner was clean and had a pleasant atmosphere. Will definitely return. read more

Today I had the most amazing breakfast ever. I had a fabulous 8oz NY Strip steak with, hash browns, eggs over easy. Everything was well cooked and my food arrived at a timely fashion. The best part of my meal was my waitress Amanda. She was warm, kind and easy to talk too. She has been working at this diner for along time. Matter of fact this diner has the most loyal employees. I tipped her @$10 and my meal was only $17. I will be back soon Thank you Amanda read more

Ordered a rueben..started eating it. 5 fork fulls, just cheese and sauerkraut. No meat. I lift up the cheese, like 2 slices of meat. I put the fork down and showed the waitress. She was not very helpful, said what do you want me to do. I paid for the sauerkraut and cheese sandwich WHICH I DID NOT EAT and left. Horrible service, horrible food. They have really cut corners. Never going back. I wouldn't if I were you unless you want an establishment that does not care if the guy in the back forgot to put enough meat on your sandwich!! Really bad attitude when I said I would leave a bad review after they gave me the check and didn't try to remedy it. read more

I ordered a medium California burger and it came well done. I also ordered Calamari and it's not even cooked it smells rotten and it's raw. Also the Home fries were raw in my wife's breakfast. Worst food we have eaten. Absolutely disgusting. Probably should hire cooks who can actually cook. Complete waste of 31 dollars. Wouldn't recommend anyone eat there read more

Broad you stink. You say your open until one. We got there at 1130 and you turned us away. I was craving some disco fries. Fix your time. I said what I said. read more

I recommend this place for numerous reasons. 1) my food came out exactly as ordered. 2) the silverware was clean, as was the ketchup bottle. 3) Lauren, our server, was impeccable! Fast, courteous, kind, and a beautiful smile. 4) every seat is a booth. My only objection would be the oscillating fan blowing on me in the front seating area. But I see no reason to downgrade them as they are trying to make their guests comfortable from the heat. The bathrooms are super narrow, so if you're "oversized", you might want to consider going before you dine there. I would definitely return! Thank you, Lauren, for a great experience! read more

Good food, great prices, and very fast service. Broad Street Diner is a Hamilton classic imo

I don't know if management changed, they got a new cook or what?! We ate there on Saturday night and the food was bad. We sat down. The waitress was nice and friendly. We noticed right away, a dirty teaspoon, then after the soup came, the pepper flakes were too big for the shaker so we had to open it to get the pepper out. Iced tea was ok and the waitress brought refills. The cream of mushroom soup was bland, had too much cornstarch & hardly any mushrooms. The side salad was fresh and ok. Our entrees came and everything was lukewarm. The vegetable wrap did not have much flavor, and the regular fries that came with it were cold. I had also asked for sweet potatoes fries. They came out much later and were burnt. Then when we were almost done eating, and the regular fries that I hadn't ordered and were still sitting on my plate, the waitress came and asked if she could take them. She said she was sorry but the manager was "on a rampage". Whatever. She then proceeded to take the fries that she had transferred from my plate to another plate, and throw them in the bus pan next to us on the other side of the booth next to us. Weird. My boyfriend got crab cakes with a baked potato. Both were cold. The crab cakes were edible but not great, and came with a melted thick yellow margarine-like-substance to dip them in. Yuck! It was definitely not clarified butter. The potato was rotten in spots. The chocolate pudding tasted fake and the rice pudding was very good, and actually the best part of our dining experience. To top it all off there's a nice open container of mints on the counter as you leave. Beware of these "urine" mints, that some people touch after using the bathroom and not washing their hands. If you're craving iced tea, a side salad, and some rice pudding then go, otherwise skip Broad Street Diner. We'll never go back. read more
