This is awesome for the ambience but not if you are larger person (I am not but my companion was.) also they only take cash. Now -- that said, step back into an earlier time when you come in here. It's one of the oldest diners in the country -- maybe the oldest? -- and you'll truly feel like you're in a movie. I recommend a weekday morning since it's a touristy thing! I had eggs over easy and sausage. Delicious and timeless. Fun!

The diner is inside a classic boxcar and not much has changed since opening - which is the way it should stay. The service was great and everyone was friendly and accommodating. We arrived around 12 PM on a Sunday and waited about 10 minutes for a table. They don't have high pairs but they have booster seats that worked just as well. We ordered Taylor, ham, egg, and cheese on a roll, two pancakes with scrambled eggs, and the front toast plate that came with eggs and sausage. Taylor ham, egg and cheese on a roll was standard and good. The French toast was tasty. The pancakes were very, very good. Definitely order these! The diner is no-frills. It's classic food served the original way. It really feels like an authentic New Jersey establishment and I love that it hasn't changed.

The smell of freshly brewed coffee was like a warm greeting for your restless nights. This place was always clean almost pristine. We came early, shortly after opening time, so it was quiet and peaceful. This day, I tried the Italian Omelette with your usual home fries and toast. I liked it. The combination of sausages, onions and mozzarella gave good bites. Our server was quite pleasant, checking on us, refilling our coffee cups. I would love to keep coming back here.

I met a colleague for brunch on a weekday and appreciated the festive decor felt very homey. Menu offers variety, but we both ended up ordering crepes one savory and one sweet. The savory one comes with a side of fries. Both were good, I think I prefer a thinner crepe but the savory one offered a thicker one so it was pretty filling. Overall 4/5 for value and execution. Not necessarily a destination spot but conveniently located and a decent option if you're looking for a quick bite. Pricing of the rest of the menu was on the pricey side for the diner feel.

I'm traveling through NJ alone today, so I pull off I-78 in Maplewood and find the Park Wood Diner. This is an old school corner diner with a rear wraparound parking lot that's locally popular. I grab a seat at the counter and start checking out the menu. The breakfast menu card is tabloid sized and filled with choices on both sides. I'm afraid to see what the lunch and dinner menu looks like. One of breakfast favorites is corned beef hash and I get it with 2 eggs sunny side up with home fries and white toast. I love laying the oozy yolk onto a slice of toast and if there's any bread left, use it to sop up any runny yolk left on the plate. Of course, the yolk runs onto the hash and home fries, too. After this leisurely filling breakfast, can I even think about lunch or maybe dinner? I'll have to make a point to come back to see what's in store on the lunch menu. Maybe a pastrami or corned beef on rye or a comforting meatloaf? See you next time!

I asked for BBQ sauce and my waitress brought me two different ones because she wanted me to try both and decide on my favorite. And whenever I was running low on water, my waitress was quick to get me more. The Baked Brie burger is my go-to. The combo of burger, bacon, Brie, and fig jam is phenomenal. I cannot sing its praises enough. And their burger patties are delicious on their own- tender and flavorful. And I do enjoy their buns that hold up to all the ingredients. And this is one of the few spots that does sweet potato waffle fries. The best type of fry in my opinion. Get them and be happy. And dip them in the darker BBQ sauce!

As a coffee snob, I would say it was very good. Our orders came out hot and fresh with huge portions. The lemon pancakes were plate size and with plenty of tasty crumble. My French toast consisted of four thick slices covered in plenty of berries and bananas. My sausage was cooked fresh and not sitting on a griddle for two hours.
