As soon as we sat down, our server was incredibly welcoming and attentive. I asked him for a drink recommendation and told him what flavors I usually enjoy, and he immediately suggested something that ended up being absolutely perfect for me. The drink didn't take long at all to come out as well! Everyone at my table ordered burgers, and we were all impressed. The portions were generous, and the burgers were cooked just right. They were juicy, flavorful, and satisfying without feeling overly heavy. We paired them with fries and onion rings for the table, and both were sooo crispy and delicious. The restaurant itself is beautiful both outside and inside. It has a really inviting vibe, and you can tell they put effort into creating a space that feels stylish but still comfortable. When we arrived, it wasn't too busy, which made for a relaxed lunch experience. While we were there, near the bar area there was a group of people celebrating something with a DJ, and the energy over there looked like so much fun!! Overall, great service, delicious food, and a fun atmosphere. I'll absolutely be coming back!

The inside of the Superior Diner has plenty of booths, tables, and a full-length bar. Coffee: The Superior Diner coffee was brewed hot and fresh and the waitress refilled it often. Good coffee, no complaints. Food: The menu is huge and there are plenty of breakfast, lunch, and dinner specials. In fact, the Superior Diner menu has the most specials of any diner I've been to in a while. I didn't know what I wanted but then saw the pork chop special and ultimately decided that's what I wanted. I've ordered diner specials a lot lately because they are cheaper and with more food! Anyway, the pork chop special came with soup, salad, and the meal. For my soup, I chose the lima bean soup. It was a red base with a little kick to it. I've never had lima bean soup and it was great. The salad was typical of a diner salad with nothing unique or unusual about it. The pork chops were delicious and were cooked well. They weren't overcooked and were tender and juicy -- one of the better diner pork chops I've had recently. For my sides, I chose beets and they were good as well. Nothing unique or unusual, but they tasted good. Service: Our waitress at the Superior Diner was friendly and our food came out fast. She was one of the better waitresses I've had recently. There was another waitress who was holding loud conversations and it made it hard to hear anything. At one point, she was yelling something about her cats. Cost: For my pork chop special and coffee, the cost was $20. Would I Come Back? I liked the Superior Diner and it's a stereotypical New Jersey Diner. It's a great stop if you're heading down the shore and I would go back.

The prices are exorbitantly high, and the quality of the food is very quite poor. To be frank, it was unpleasant. The fries were undercooked and soggy. I opted for a turkey bacon and egg sandwich, as it was the least expensive option available. I had suggested to my family that we leave, but they were reluctant to appear impolite. I was eager to depart. The sandwich featured a well-cooked egg, undercooked bacon, and was served on an overly sweet roll, which resembled a hamburger bun (small). It was priced at $8.00, yet it came with no additional sides. My spouse ordered a Reuben sandwich, which also came with fries that were soggy and undercooked, priced at $18.99. My son chose a medium-well burger, but it arrived more on the rare side, and the fries were equally soggy, uncooked and unappetizing. The total for our meals, NOT excluding the tip, amounted to $56.23. My son barely touched his burger or the fries, while my husband consumed half of his Reuben but left the fries untouched. I took only two bites of my sandwich before deciding not to eat any more. My son had a coffee, and my husband ordered a Sprite. I had water. In summary, I will NOT be returning to this establishment. See pictures I zoom the eggs and nasty undercooked bacon. Also look at the menu for yourself!!!! CRAZY PRICES! I am sure the good reviews are probably his family members or friends because its NASTY FOOD & OVERPRICED!

It's your "classic" diner which has that 1950's vibe with the exterior and interior decor. Elvis paraphernalia is featured here. They had a busy lunch crowd. I sat at the counter and ordered a McCaffrey Wrap which comes with grilled chicken, bacon, cheddar jack cheese, lettuce, tomato and honey mustard. It was really good. The side of sweet potato fries were crispy and seasoned just right. The staff were courteous and the service quick. There is a small parking lot that can accommodate about five cars. There was plenty of on street parking. The downtown area was nice and you can take a nice walk after dining here to the waterfront.

Not only is the falafel crispy and well seasoned, spanakopita flaky and yummy, super combo gyro divine but they are an entirely family-run business. Although I usually order for takeout, the service is quick (orders are ready in 25 minutes) and organized. You'll see their son and daughter working the register or cooking in the back passing down the family tradition. Honestly the greatest Greek food I've had in a very long time! Evangelo and his wife Georgia have been in business for over 20 years. A testament to the quality of mom and pop shops. Has a diner feel that's very cozy. One time I even waited and had a full 20 minute conversation with Georgia when I even walked in and ordered on the spot. I haven't been for breakfast or lunch but I'm sure they won't disappoint!

Sometimes it gets really busy and you have to play phone tag to reach them, but that's ok, their worth the call back a few times before getting through. Highly recommend if you're in the area. The gyros and/or platter is also very good, my husband gets it all the time, just be sure to ask for the fries extra crispy, because then they're perfect.

The Broadway Diner is my home away from home. The food is fresh home cooking and affordably priced. The staff is friendly and the owners genuinely care about the quality of the food served. They also care about their patrons. The close knit community atmosphere is what makes Broadway Diner the kind of place you want to return to again and again. Along with the mac & cheese, stuffed peppers, fresh burgers, homemade soups, omelets... I gotta stop, I'm making myself hungry. If you want a "Cheers" type of eatery where everyone knows your name and you are enjoying your meal with friends even when you enter solo, stop on by. It's right across from the train station. Tell them Karen sent you. read more

Also, Cash only + ATM is way worse than credit card with a 3% fee unless your bank waives atm fees. I won't go back here, it's worth the drive to find someplace better.

I had never been here before but I quickly got the feeling this is a place for locals and regulars. The waitress just in general did not seem interested in taking our order. She was very short and not friendly. But she was chatting it up with some other people who came in and seemed like regulars, so it just felt a little unwelcoming. However, the food was very very good! I had the eggs benedict and it was perfectly cooked and very delicious. My partner also very much enjoyed her food and said it was cooked to perfection! It's cash only so definitely bring some but there is an ATM in case you forget.

With its extensive menu, long hours, and comfort-food focus, it has been a go-to spot for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for generations. Whenever I travel through New Jersey, I always make a point of having at least one Taylor Ham (the local slang for any brand of pork roll) meal. I especially love how Jersey diners serve it with sunny-side-up eggs laid right on top. I had visited my hometown the day before and was spending part of Sunday in Woodbridge before heading out later in the day. I decided to stop in for a late-morning Sunday breakfast. It had snowed the night before, but the streets and parking lot were well cleared. I walked in and sat at the counter. The waitress poured excellent diner coffee and took my order. Before long, my breakfast arrived: sunny-side-up eggs over pork roll, a generous portion of home fries, and rye toast. Everything was delicious and exactly what I was hoping for. The atmosphere is pure Jersey diner. There's even a celebrity photo gallery near the cash register area--and yes, you still get your check at the counter or table and pay on your way out. It was an excellent meal enjoyed on a crisp winter day in a classic New Jersey town with late-Victorian and early-20th-century railroad roots. A great meal on a great day.
