There's not too many diners in Morris County that we haven't dined at. Tonight, we stopped in at the Chester Diner for dinner. Starting with the sign on the outside of the building, the place looks like it could use some sprucing up. The good news is that the food was very good. I went with a diner favorite, the cheeseburger deluxe. The burger with fried onions on it was very good. Everyone liked their food especially my mother-in-law with her pancakes. If you're in Chester looking for a decent meal, I'd give the Chester Diner a shot!

Spanish quesadilla
Nicole A.

Stopped here after strawberry picking nearby. The women's bathroom was clean. Our server was friendly. Drinks were refilled and extra napkins were given without being asked. Nice touch. Everyone enjoyed their food. Kids mozzarella sticks and Philly burger were excellent. My Spanish quesadilla was probably the best diner quesadilla I've ever had. We will definitely make it a point to eat here when we come back apple picking.

Wow! I was a bit hesitant to visit this dinner but I am so pleasantly surprised!! I went here with a friend for brunch, the dinner is so much bigger on the inside than I expected and it's so clean and cozy! The food was so good, I got Waffles and chicken with some strawberries and they were all so crazy good! The chicken was so soft and easy to eat and the same goes for the waffles. The strawberries were also nice and sweet! Overall the breakfast here was amazing!

Rip off triple Decker.

First time ordering from this place and will be last. Ordered the Triple Decker Chicken Salad, which is actually a SINGLE layer of smallest serving of chicken salad and a second layer of lettuce and piece of tomatoe. To add insult thectoasted bread was burnt! All for $20?!! Never again.

Typical NJ diner. The food was decent and the price is fair. I was not very happy with my service: I felt quite rushed by the waitress to leave. My partner and I did not finish our meals when we were provided with our check and told "no rush" but it felt like quite the opposite.

Greasy food, 'couldn't care less' service and horrible decor combine to make this one of the worst diners in the area. Needs a total revamp.

Service was good and the front manager, I believe her name was Chrissy, was very polite and attentive.

Stopped in today and had such a lovely lunch! A few items were sold out, but there were still…read moreplenty of great options to choose from. We ordered the cornbread special, the porchetta sandwich special, and the biscuits and gravy. Everything was fresh, filling, and delicious. The porchetta sandwich was flavorful, though I personally found a few pieces a bit fatty with some skin, which wasn't my preference. The biscuits and cornbread on the other hand were fantastic! I also loved the cozy setup inside and the fun idea of having games to play while you dine. The staff was friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better! 4.5! Can't wait to come back and try more

These days,while I appreciate the attempt in making the interior more inviting (think Mid-Century modern vibes), this is "order & pay at the counter" type of service,with significantly reduced menu options (mostly sandwiches), and given the pricing the food itself wasn't satisfying unfortunately (we had Falafel wrap and Pren Burger,both of which I would probably have done much better at home-lacking flavors overall,plastic dishes,falafels were basically mashed chickpeas). As for recommending to others,I'd say this may still be worth a stop for a coffee and maybe a boardgame sitdown-definitely don't expect amazing food :/ Overall,since my priority when eating out is food,I'm disappointed and not returning,sorry..!

I really had a lovely time here. My parents took me out for breakfast and wanted to try Marilyns…read more When we walked in I was impressed by how charming the inside was. It feels like a hole in the wall, but at the same time is actually very clean and thoughtfully decorated. I loved all of the pictures of old fashioned movie stars on the wall, and much preferred this ambiance to any of my local diners. Our server was a young man who we later found out was the grandson of the owners, who were sitting right at the counter table. It made Marilyn's even more charming to know that it really is just a mom-and-pop that an entire family rallys to takes great pride in. I was really excited to see cheese blintz on the menu, as this is one of my favorites but is not so common! I ordered this, along with a side of bacon, and a decaf coffee. My blintz was excellent and came loaded with fresh fruits and sour cream. It was better than the blintzes I used to order from my favorite Ukranian restaurant in NYC. The bacon was cooked perfectly (crispy!) and my coffee was awesome. I will definitely be returning to bring my husband. I am only knocking off one star (it hurts to do this because I really loved my food and experience here) because they only offer bottled water, they are cash only, and the bathroom was very VERY cramped. Otherwise this would've been a five star review!

Not sure who the woman was at the back counter.. but she was rude and unprofessional. I walked in…read moreto what I thought was a cafe, thinking maybe they had a menu of different coffee's. When I asked if they had any speciality coffee's I was looked up and down and told with a major attitude " um no mam you should go to Starbucks for that" so rude and unprofessional. I would not recommend.

We were looking for somewhere to eat after visiting a local farm and this place was perfect. An older Ukrainian woman was cooking and doing a great job. My husband had the chicken pot pie and I had the stuffed cabbage, both delicious! And then the chef sent out a corncake for us to try (never had one before). We live an hour away, but I can't wait to go back and have those corncakes! The place is small and very quiet so you're aware of everyone in the room and there's actual conversation instead of people looking at their cell phones. Great experience, really nice people.

The inside has 6 tables and about 5 stools at the counter. They have scrapple! My favorite breakfast meat (more of a mystery meat). I had scrambled eggs and scrapple with rye toast that came with home fries and my husband had eggs, toast, and home fries. We split the FAMOUS corn cakes. They are everything I dreamed they would be and more. Sweet, fluffy, but also melt in your mouth. They're almost better than regular pancakes. So stinkin good. If you forgot cash (like me), there's a ShopRite 4 minutes away that has a WellsFargo atm. Can't wait to go back.
