The diner seemed like a calm environment but wouldn't come visit again.

After reading all the positive reviews, we had high hopes; but we quickly realized we should have kept driving. This place was absolutely filthy. The entire restaurant looked grimy and poorly maintained, and the food handling did nothing to make us feel any better. There was a large container of potatoes sitting on a shelf directly above the grill. Seeing food sitting out like that was extremely concerning and immediately made me question the cleanliness and safety of the kitchen. I ordered biscuits and gravy with grits and scrambled eggs, thinking at least the grits would be fresh and hot. My other half ordered the corned beef hash and eggs, which were advertised as homemade. The hash appeared to contain a mixture of fresh and old potatoes. He took his food out and threw it away. I ended up feeling sick for the rest of the day. I obviously cannot say for certain what caused it, but after seeing the condition of the place and how the food was being handled, I wasn't exactly surprised that I felt terrible afterward. Honestly, I am kicking myself for not turning around and leaving the moment we walked in. The reviews gave us completely unrealistic expectations. This was one of those meals where you leave wishing you had just gone hungry instead. If cleanliness and proper food handling matter to you, I would seriously think twice before stopping here. Our experience was awful, and based on what we saw, we will absolutely never be back.

My friend and I visited on a very quiet Friday morning for breakfast. Neither of us had been here…read morebefore but that is going to change. We were provided a very friendly and warm greeting upon entry. My friend ordered the chicken and waffles with two eggs over easy. I ordered the brioche French toast with bananas, strawberries, blueberries, and a side of sausage. The Belgium waffle had two big pieces of fried chicken attached and the portion was huge. My French toast consisted of three thick slices of brioche bread with plenty of fresh fruit covering it. The sausage was two fat links. Tasty and cooked fresh. As a coffee snob, I would say it was very good. Very extensive menu for breakfast with plenty of options to eat healthy or to adhere to your dietary restrictions. The service was excellent and very friendly. The prices were very reasonable. There is plenty of parking in their private lot or you can find some on the side street. We will be back.

Maybe you should consider people's dietary preferences and accommodations, no need to explain. Every restaurant, diner, cafe or place breakfast is served across NJ and beyond have I never been restricted with my options and needs. It's not about the cost because I pay for what I want. I got the regular order because I wanted to be respectful and that is basically what I want on the menu, my side was never received so I had it removed. The taste was actually good but after eating a quarter of one I boxed the rest and gave it to my daughter. Strike 2 was the wait time for our food, two tables after us were served and sizable meals. I ordered Pancakes and water. I ordered an omelette and a cup of coffee, horrible she said. How long do you have to wait for that 30+ minutes. Strike 3 was they seemed more focused on the turn around verses the actual service to seated customers. We weren't the only table. I've shared MY REVIEW......

My friend was telling me how she grew up next to White Rose in Highland Park, reminiscing about the…read moredays of old. And then I was going to see her the very next day (today). So we're out, driving north from Edison, and I'm following her directions. She told me to turn left and I said "Oh, but I can turn right on red and then just left on Walnut." And as I got ready to turn left on Walnut, there was the sign on the corner. White Rose. So I may have turned left just a little more lazily and eased into the parking lot instead of the street. What a nice surprise for her! And with that, we both were introduced to the Roselle location, instead of the Highland Park location we each knew. Pro: I love the classic NJ diner atmosphere, with all the seating on stools or two-fer tables in one unified area. Pro: You have the service area right up front, and you can see the food being prepared. Pro: Great value food, made fresh. My Taylor ham, egg, and cheese on a bagel had a solid amount of meat, perfect balance of ingredients, everything lightly toasted or fried just right. My friend's California burger (just means a burger with all the regular toppings like lettuce, tomato, onion) was much bigger than I expected, though they also have small burgers if that's your vibe. I enjoyed her fries, which is not something I always say. Again, cooked perfectly. Con: Or is it a pro: Off the beaten path, not right downtown, so a little harder to find. But that means it's not super busy and you can find a seat. Verdict: Find yourself a seat and try it out.

Beef short ribs had excellent sear on them while being a perfect medium making for awesome texture. They were seasoned well and the bones fell right off the meat. Rice was fluffy and the french fries were beautifully golden brown with a crispy bite. Service - 4/5. Very friendly and courteous. The manager came to greet us and the waitress was responsive despite a small communication barrier. Value - 5/5. The food is great and comes with so many extras. At $15 I got grilled short ribs, garlic bread, rice and french fries. Each of the sides came with enough to share. Most of their menu items are in similar price range or lower. Fantastic value!

So, we decided to take advantage of the happy hour menu The waitress proceeds to ignore what I want to order and goes into the main menu and then adds items that I didn't order and not put in the order that I actually wanted. I'm a little upset. She's not interested in serving our table. She's just interested in hanging out at the table next to us sitting on a gentleman's lap and not even coming to check on us again. The one who took care of us was the bartender. It's pretty sad.. This will be the last time we come here and support this local business.
