LOVE this spot! I have been visiting this diner ever since I was a child. It has always been so consistent, even over the last few decades. Their breakfast is always so delicious. If you love orange juice, you have to try theirs. It is freshly squeezed. The flavor is phenomenal! I am such a traditional breakfast eater. I always go for their classic 2 egg breakfast, scrambled with rye toast and a side of bacon (crispy - of course!) This time, I added a side of blueberry pancakes which really hit the spot. The ambiance is such an old school, diner vibe. Definitely come check this place out if you haven't. It is right off of 78 in Bayonne. Even for a Sunday morning, parking was great and we were seated immediately!
Came here with my co-workers for lunch. It wasn't too busy when we arrived 12:30pm. Parking was easy. We were seated right away. The decor of the diner is nice was my first impression. I order breakfast meal. I got the veggie omelet. The food was average. Nothing spectacular that would make me go back. I found the omelet to be a bit dry. I needed ketchup with every bit. All in all, it was an average dining out experience.
Before I begin I would like to say that this review is based solely upon my personal experiences and my personal experiences alone, so without further ado let's begin!. My wife and I were on our way to visit my mom and we decided to grab some breakfast, we were looking for IHOP or First Watch but they were further out going away from where my mother lives so we opted to try out this place! Let me tell you we didn't know what to expect but we were astoundingly shocked by the way this diner looked. We walked in the door and were immediately asked how many? It was so quick that when the hostess asked how many I haven't even walked through the door yet!. We were taken to our table and were once again immediately asked what we wanted to drink. My wife and I both opted for coffee, the coffee was fresh and plentiful with countless refills. My wife and I both opted for the breakfast tower, which consisted of eggs, hash browns, cheese and bacon and sausage for about $15.. we both substituted the hash browns for grits with cheese. The food was brought out to our table rather quickly and looked great! ( sorry I didn't take any pictures)! Everything was good and came out in nice portions. I almost forgot to add they have dessert if you decide you want to grab something on your way out as you are paying your tab on your way out!. We will definitely come here again for breakfast on our next visit to Bayonne NJ.. and if you are in this area I would suggest you check it out as well... you'll thank me later when you do!!..
I usually love coming to this diner. I should note that I've never had any issues with ordering breakfast items, those have always been fresh and delicious. This time I decided to order a panella sandwich which consist of grilled eggplant, fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, basil, and balsamic vinaigrette. The sandwich was really greasy for being just veggies and cheese. It was falling apart. At first bite, it tasted good. It was the fresh mozzarella and basil that really stood out. After a few bites, I started to get a freezer burn taste. I tasted each item separately and sure enough, it was the eggplant. The mozzarella and red peppers with fine, along with the fresh basil. But the eggplant did not taste good at all. The sweet potato fries that accompanied it were alright. My daughter was content with her spaghetti and butter. My grandma was also satisfied with her soup, eggs and home fries. Hopefully it was a one time thing. But I think I would just stick with their all day breakfast items.
If you're looking for a classic diner experience with an extensive menu, Broadway Diner in Bayonne delivers on all fronts. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by the sweet temptation of their dessert display--cakes, pastries, and treats that are hard to ignore whether you're just arriving or heading out. The menu is pretty diverse featuring a mix of Greek, American, Spanish, and other international dishes. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty breakfast, a juicy burger, a gyro platter, or pernil, arroz con pollo, there's something for every craving at any time of the day. The staff is friendly and attentive, adding to the warm, welcoming atmosphere. The setup is exactly what you'd expect from a traditional diner--booths, counters, and that nostalgic charm that feels both casual and comforting. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Broadway Diner is a solid go-to spot for variety, comfort food.
I've been wanting to try this place for a year or so now and I finally got the chance to stop in recently after a night out in Jersey City. I love the fact that it's open 24/7. It was after midnight and it wasn't busy and we walked in and were seated right away by the front windows. The server was there immediately and I ordered a tuna melt wrap with fries. Wow was it good! I hadn't had a tuna melt in years but regardless of that fact this was probably one of the best ones I've ever had and those fries were delicious and cooked perfectly. I love diners like this and I am glad they still exist even though they are becoming more and more rare. I'd recommend this place to anyone in the area that is looking for a late night bite to eat. I also saw that they serve beer, wine, and liquor so that's nice too. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I'll see you again the next time I am in the area. Thanks :)
We came here for a late lunch the other day. I had the French onion soup and tuna melt wrap with fries. My partner had matzah ball soup with an English muffin. The food was good. I'll save the French onion soup for last because I have a lot to say about it. The matzah ball soup was filled with chicken, carrots and noodles with a nice-sized matzah ball. The ball was on the light side (not too hard or dense like you sometimes get at places). A very good matzah ball soup. The English muffin was toasted well. Note: it came pre-buttered, so if that's not your thing you might ask for it with butter on the side. The tuna melt was great. The tuna was delicious (and plenty of it in the wrap), and the flour wrap seemed fresh and had a good texture. The melt was present, but didn't overpower the tuna. There was shredded lettuce and tomato bits in the wrap - very nice. There were a lot of fries with the wrap. The fries were not exceptional. They were ok. But the French onion soup. Omg. I've been telling people about it for days. It came and I thought they had sent me the wrong order. There was a flaky dough covering the top. When I removed it by hand, I thought it was a cheese sandwich that they placed over the soup. I quickly figured out that it was a flaky cheese sandwich (instead of croutons or soggy bread sitting in the bowl, it was a flaky dough filled with delicious cheese). So, the soup bowl is filled with delicious broth and onions, and you control how much bread and cheese you put in the soup or eat separately. I've never seen French onion soup served this way, but I like it. I asked the manager/owner and they said they've always served it this way. Worth a trip.
Wanted a quick bite late night so decided to try Broadway diner. Used to come here as a kid many many years ago. The diner was clean and noticed some upgrades and new renovations done. Service was overall 10 out of 10. Went on a Wednesday night around 11 PM and was seated as soon as we walked in. The waiter was very pleasant took our order and was very kind to give his insight on certain dishes in the menu Decided to try the most popular things people ordered such as the French toast, the cheeseburger, the Philly cheesesteak and the pesto chicken Panini . Food came out very quickly and hot. The lobster soup was decent (did not have high expectations given its a soup from a diner). The French toast was my least favorite item ordered, the consistency and texture was just not to my liking plus the taste of egg was very potent in the batter. The burger overall was OK. It was very homestyle which I do love. The Philly cheesesteak was my favorite item ordered the steak good very well and had a lot of flavor. The pesto chicken panini was good too, just wish it hard a little more pesto for taste. Overall, very good spot to grab a quick bite late night. Will be back
Made a stop here for lunch after my kids ran wild at Catch Air. Conveniently open 24 hours, this diner brings old school vibes. With such a large menu, I decided on a grilled chicken panini with sweet potato fries. The panini was great with bacon and avocado. However, the sweet potato fries were hot but soggy. Only if they were nice and crispy. My wife had the breakfast bagel. She thought the homefries had too much onion in them. Service was attentive and good. Prices were much cheaper than the diners around me. I'll definitely give this place another try as I rather eat at the diner than all the other fast food restaurants surrounding it.
I was craving a diner style cheeseburger deluxe so I placed a take out order at Broadway diner over the phone. The process was quick and easy, but I expected a tastier burger. - Ordering and picking up I called and placed an order with a friendly employee. 15 minutes later I showed up and the food was ready. The place is big, there 3 people answering phones just like a small call center and there's a parking lot which is good since this is a busy area. - The food I expected more from my cheeseburger. Although it might look good in the picture, it was just ok. The bottom bread was a little wet probably due to the lettuce and tomatoes and the burger was thin. I've had much better diner burgers. Fries were ok, nothing exceptional. The package came with ketchup, mayo, coleslaw and a small pickle which was a nice touch. I paid $12 with taxes. Would I go back? Maybe, but not for a burger.
The food here is just ok, nothing crazy. My cheeseburger wrap was a bit disappointing because there was barely any burger in it. I also asked for it medium & it came pretty well done like rubber. On the other hand, my matzo ball soup was delicious & fresh. I also had rice pudding for dessert & it was out of this world!!! My partner had chocolate cake which was delicious as well. Great desserts!!! I just wasn't impressed with my entree. Great service and very cute diner.
One of the two diners to go to in town. Not much to say since diner food is straightforward. But I do enjoy their daily specials versus other places. Haven't had any issues here. Service is pretty friendly.
Large place, service was good, food was okay. I ordered a Spanish omelette and it came with a generous portion but there wasn't too much flavor in the omelette and home fries. I didn't catch a picture but really did like the red mugs!

I've been to Broadway Diner numerous times mostly for breakfast or lunch. They have awesome pancakes, huge omelettes and all around good food. It's always packed and sometimes I've even had to sit at the bar because nothing was open. It's an old school spot that has been it right for years! read more
Carla here is just an Amazing and Awesome waitress, She's so personable and excellent customer service. Brought our delicious steak eggs and avocado with class. Such an awesome place to eat and every staff member here just plain Ole rocks! read more
Nice diner with parking and the typical huge diner menu. Service was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. I enjoyed my mushroom, tomato, and cheddar omlette and the toast came pre-buttered!!! I know that may not sound like a big deal, but no one does this any more, I don't know why?!?! Coffee was good too, for diner coffee :) read more

I was here twice. The first time I thought the food was pretty average. The second time I thought it was a lot better. Just have to try different things to see what is good. Our waitress was really nice. Super attentive and got the answers to all of our questions. The atmosphere is a normal, quaint and comfortable diner atmosphere. The booths are nice, if people sit behind you, you don't feel them getting up and down which is nice. I got the filet mignon special for $24 that night. It was two 4oz medallions with 2 sides, and a salad. That's a great deal. The steak was a first cut, so not the fancy center cut but that's fine. The meat was tender. Only one part had a vein and was grizzly but that's what you get with the first cut of a filet. The one thing was it was all very very salty. They put too much salt in it. I liked the cheese and the sautéed onions on top. I got the broccoli, I can tell it was frozen broccoli steamed but it was fine. I would have preferred fresh. Baked potato was good. My husband got the spicy crab bisque special soup and the mussels cavatelli. The mussels were excellent for $16. It looked like more than 2 dozen mussels and with pasta in a tomato cream sauce. Mussels where plump and fresh and cooked perfectly, not chewy at all. The pasta was Al dente and also perfect and the sauce was mild and creamy and delicious. It also came with a salad, he got the Caesar salad. Dressing was really good and not too salty, and the cheese on top was good as well. Sometimes Caesar salads can be stinky or really strong like anchovies and cheese but this was not and it was really good. My mom enjoyed her big Greek salad with grilled chicken on top. So big she couldn't finish it. My dad didn't like his burger though. It said 8oz and it was definitely not 8. It was flattened and thin and was more like 6oz. The fries were also very very greasy and soggy. Maybe the oil in deep fryer wasn't at right temp. But I was reading other reviews that say the same thing about the fries and the burger. The waitress brought bread to the table which was really nice and also gave my dad 2 pickles and coleslaw which was also really nice. Double chocolate cake was good. I liked the outside with the chocolate flakes. But it was a little dry and had a odd chemical aftertaste. It was kind of busy on a Saturday at 6 for dinner. Next time I want to try their famous pancakes. Overall very happy with the experience, our waitress was amazing and food was decent and super well priced. Best things were Caesar salad and mussels that we had. read more

This is my third and final review of this diner. I will not be returning. My friend lives in NJ so this place is convenient for her to meet me. No....I'll make this short and pretty simple. It has gone down hill! 1. Waitresses are not friendly 2. Food was greasy and just not good 3. Decor was messy and needed an update 4. Management is awful they don't care 5. The entire staff looked and behaved miserable Who serves half a waffle??? This was crazy??? The menu said chicken and waffles but I have NEVER had a whole one cut in Half and served to you. I had to laugh. Im done with this place it's a joke!!!!! I will also not recommend it to friends. read more

Five stars for the French Onion Soup alone! It has a cheese filled puff pastry on top and is unbelievably delicious. The rest of the food is solid -- I haven't strayed too far from the typical diner staples (eggs, pancakes, omelets) -- if you stick to the basics you'll be fine. They also have fresh juices and a good dessert selection. read more
