I did order a milk shake and while it was good i did wish the glass was larger. Stopped in with my stunning girlfriend to celebrate a relationship milestone.

If it weren't for her company, my visit to this diner might have felt longer than needed. God is good!

They smirk their faces at certain people of color, and dont possess the qualities of providing quality of services thats expected. I will no longer eat at Maddys because I dont trust the overall service and the food is not all that great at all. Its general staple foods that you can make yourself even better. I really hope Maddys address this because bad attitudes& service can ruin an existing establishment.

I ordered the enchiladas. They were a little sweeter than I expected, but still enjoyable overall. My husband had the Barn BLT, and he absolutely loved it. We also ordered drinks--I had the Pom-Amore cocktail, which was refreshing and delicious, and my husband had a cider. They have a huge drink menu with plenty of options, plus daily specials, which gives you a great reason to come back and try something new. Overall, it was a very enjoyable brunch experience with good food, great drinks, and welcoming service. We'd definitely come back to explore more of the menu and take advantage of their specials!

I feel very mixed about writing this review!…read more First the ambiance- it's a rustic barn feel. It was fine nothing to complain about and the bathroom was clean. Next the service- it was extremely slow. Like super slow but I will say the staff was very nice and it seemed like our waitress was waiting on many tables by herself so I wasn't mad about how slow it was. But it should be noted. Now the Drinks. I truly don't know how I feel! My friend and I both ordered drinks. She ordered the Pom-Amore which is supposed to have fresh pomegranates in it and an edible flower as a garnish per the description. It had neither! She did have cranberries in it, maybe they ran out? I personally don't like that, they should have informed her they didn't have the right garnishes what if she was allergic? I had the cranberry limoncello which was supposed to have cranberries in it and it had none, hilarious I know! On top of that my glass was dirty had something caked on the inside the glass (like my straw wouldn't move it off) so they had to remake it. But it did taste very good. Lastly the food- My friend ordered the burger she said it was very greasy, I didn't try it so I'm not sure. She had the hand cut fries with it and I did try them and they were delicious! The portion of the burger and fries was huge! I got the avocado egg rolls and the Sweet Thai Wings. I wanted to hate the egg rolls because when they came out it's literally just like avocado inside, which is my own fault I assumed it was going to be more like a southwestern egg roll. However, they were delicious! It came with this spicy sauce that was so good. The only down side is that they left the avocado pit inside one of my egg rolls- I took a picture- which wasn't pleasant to bite down on. I also ordered the wings. They were good. The sweet Thai chili did not taste like Thai chili rather more like a buffalo wing so much so that I wondered if they brought out the wrong wings. I will say I got a bit of an ick because I found feathers on the wings. These are fresh butchered wings so it's understandable but also not my favorite thing to have happened. To note: I think it would have been nice because of the dirty glass for them to have offered a free dessert or something (especially since both our drinks were made wrong but to be honest we didn't tell them that they were) but that's just my personally thought for excellent customer service. Again, the waitress was extremely nice so of course I still tipped 20%!

The scene is a basic diner, but there is something very comforting about that to this Jersey girl. Upon walking in, my daughter was immediately taken by the display of cakes. The staff was all very lovely and took good care of us. My daughter got a hot dog, my husband eggs and bacon, and I got the pastrami burger. Everything was delicious, though the burger itself was immensely big! Next time, I'll know to share it! We couldn't leave without trying a piece of chocolate cake. My daughter was very happy with it, but my husband acknowledged that the bottom layer was very dry, but the rest of it was yummy.

The store itself constricts itself as well where in the digital menu it states the meal comes along with Gouda cheese in it, however in the store front Gouda cheese is no where to be found.

I order take out from here, let me tel you, they have the best cheeseburgers around. Ty e meat is high quality, always flavorful, juicy, and the fresh lettuce, tomato and pickle on the side take it to a whole other level of goodness'. They also give you fries and a little coleslaw to try. The inside has a 1950's metal diner feel. It's inviting, waitresses are very friendly and informative, and their desserts are all delicious.

Glad I did.) Although I only had the souvlaki the first time, I noted friendly and attentive service by all, including the manager. The food came out fairly quickly given that I arrived during the peak lunch hour. The pita was the best pita I have ever eaten. The fries were up there with the best fries I have ever eaten. There was plenty of food for my money overall, and it was memorably delicious. So for this update, I finally went in for a full meal. I can offer the following updates: * I went during the dinner peak this time (I should say: just after a Hudson Valley Renegades game across the river), and service was MUCH slower to attend to us. Now, to be fair, I arrived with one person and we were waiting on a third, so I didn't expect them to rush to take or order until the third person arrived... but at least bring us water? Took like 15 minutes for that. * Shrimp pasta was delicious. But if you're smothering shrimp in sauce, please de-shell? Otherwise serve them on the side so I can do that myself. Annoying to have to sift through the sauce and clean my hands. * They did sub in pasta of my choice. * Carrot soup was OK, nothing special but it was the soup of the day vs. just a plain salad for my veggies. Desserts were on display but I was stuffed. Again, you will get plenty of food here. But try not to come at the same time as /everyone/ else.
