    The Bird, the Cheers of Diners, where everybody knows your name (just not mine), and NE version of NJ BEC.
    Bob C.

    Should Chet, Chet Jr, or CIII be alive and running this diner, I don't think they care much about my review or number of stars. This place is probably always busy with the locals and when I walked in i immediately thought "oh, the Cheers of diners, where everybody knows your name (except for mine). Since there are no 1/2 points I do have to settle on 3 after leveling off the pleasant experience and atmosphere and my meh food. However, I do recommend coming here! Next time I won't do takeout but sit and enjoy the back in Time Machine.

    This place is always packed but they have a high turnover wait since there are counter seats and actual tables. I love ordering their Bill K combo which comes with two eggs and choice of sausage, ham or bacon in addition to pancake. I always upgrade the pancake to blueberry for an additional charge. The pancake is packed with a generous amount of blueberry. It is not too sweet yet fluffy and delicious. The size is huge too, fills the entire plate. The combo also comes with coffee or tea, the coffee is refillable. The staff are friendly and fast. I'd say to be here early because they close at 11am!

    Charming breakfast diner built in the 1930's. interesting nostalgic decor that seemed very little if any change over the years. We sat in the room opposite the counter. The place was moderately busy and we were seated immediately. Our waitress was very busy yet attentive and friendly. The menu was simple and offered basic selection of breakfast options. I ordered coffee, two scrambled eggs, bacon, wheat toast and hash browns. My friend ordered apple juice, ham and cheese omelette with mushrooms, home fries and marble-rye toast. My eggs were cooked to order and fluffy. Bacon was crispy, potatoes were slightly crispy and tasted freshly grated(not from a frozen bag). Toast was basic and nicely buttered. My friends omelette was also cooked to order and delicious. Overall, we were very pleased with our meal in terms of taste, portion size, service, and value (total bill was $14.50).

    After driving by this diner for years, I finally stopped in on a rainy Wednesday morning at 8am. The place was packed! Jess, the owner, made me feel right at home. I sat at the the counter and the waitress immediately brought me hot coffee. Food was good! I got the Texas French toast combo with eggs and bacon. I will definitely be back!

I got eggs, home fries, bacon, toast, and 1 pancake. There's a small parking lot and service was very friendly. I waited only a few minutes and my order was taken quickly. The eggs and toast were good. The bacon was okay - just normal bacon and not overly smoky. The home fries were also good. A little smaller portion, but they were cooked well. The pancake was super fluffy and tasted really yummy with the syrup. My only gripe was that it was cooked near or on something with garlic and parsley so about a third of it didn't get eaten. I went to bite into it and it was maple garlic town in my mouth and that threw me off. However, I was nearing on full anyway so I kind of was like eh it happens. I did let the server know before I headed out for future orders and stuff but I didn't want an extra pancake or anything since I ate a good bit of it. She was super nice about it as well. I got the check and left cash on the table. It was about $21 for the meal and 2 drinks. It's a cute little spot and I would go back probably just for the pancakes and the nice service.

I stopped in and ordered the lobster roll special which came with fries, onion rings, cole slaw. I added a cup of clam chowder. Appears all locals frequent the place as everyone knew each other . 80th year anniversary it says. I saw the huge seafood platter plates coming from the kitchen and wondered about ordering a platter vs the lobster roll. Well... here is my first visit and the take on it.. Clam chowder was in a dinky coffee cup and was cold vs hot. It was lumpy like the friend of Wally on Leave it to Beaver show...it was full of seafood more so than clams ... nothing special for 6.99. The lobster roll was good Size pieces and all claw meat... I wanted some sweet knuckle meat too... but I guess all claw better than minced tail meat? Needed more mayo or lemon flavor or any flavors? It was fresh however. The onion rings, fries a huge amount twice what I needed and were awful... batter had no taste or spices... needs flavors in batter . I was glad didn't order a seafood platter with this tasteless batter... Cole slaw was pre packed in plastic cup and was fresh with no flavors ... I added pepper, but needed a cream or milk or paprika or something. Place appears a big attraction for the locals ad staff and customers all knew each other probably for years? They are not shy on their prices and alot of menu options as a diner type spot. I don't see wearing my sneakers out to run back again. I wouldn't say great food, but can't say awful either ... but a seafood place must know it needs a good batter . I am sure the locals love the place ....

Busy joint, tight seating, and energetic servers who keep attentive. -- Patty Melt: So much to like about this, from the marble rye (though I think pumpernickel) to the full size patty (better than the double smashed you get elsewhere) to the onions to the gooey melted cheese to the extreme juiciness and pleasing flavor. I didn't detect any Russian dressing, but this sandwich wasn't lacking for moistness or flavor oomph. A near-elite rendition and one of the best I've had in a while. Excellent. -- Fries: Included with the patty melt and a plentiful supply. The bad news: they're the dreaded industrial "coated" kind. The good news: they were piping hot and cooked perfectly, crisp outside, fluffy inside. The great news: you can substitute home fries. My server offered a sample of the home fries. -- Home Fries: I found them to be right in my wheelhouse for doneness, crispness, seasoning, onions, and overall texture and flavor. Superb. Between the good looking plates that passed by and my enjoyment of my own food on my first visit, there's sure to be a second.
