My first time there and had an awesome experience. So good that I will return in a couple weeks!…read moreI had the makings of a Western Skillet but instead of ham,they accommodate me with putting grilled chicken. It came out in a black cast-iron pan. It was excellent!!!! Very flavorful , fresh and cooked perfect. I had home fries with it. They were also very good! I also got peaches and sauce pancakes. It was their special, It was amazing! The pancakes was so light and fluffy. The service was excellent. Very tentative and accommodating to your needs. We also met the Owner whom is active in the restaurant. He was a very nice man...very welcoming and friendly. The staff also. Nice atmosphere, definitely family friendly. All the dishes we seen that came out was large portions and looked really good.

Absolutely amazing food! We were already planning our next visit while halfway through our first…read more Incredible food with huge portions - friendly & engaging staff - the cutest little breakfast spot.

One if by land, two if by sea." Seaport Diner does not disappoint…read more This classic New Jersey diner is the perfect stop whether you're arriving by land (EWR) or coming in via the nearby seaport. The Seaport offers a robust menu that easily covers breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with plenty of traditional diner favorites done right. I stopped in the morning after a massive storm that blanketed the area with more than 12 inches of snow--and it didn't slow them down one bit. The hardworking staff was welcoming, efficient, and delivered excellent, no-nonsense diner food with warm smiles all around. Reliable, hearty, and exactly what you want from a Jersey diner--Seaport is a spot I'd happily return to.

Ordered the lamb burger and it was cooked perfectly, medium, juicy with a great fresh flavor. Side salad portion was generous with fresh greens and grape tomatoes.

Fairly small space and could use some sprucing up, but nothing to complain about. Will be coming back.

We came for the Oxtail burger but on this day they were only making beef burgers, lamb burgers, and catfish sandwiches. The bonus, however, was the BBQ offerings in the backyard -- Mac n cheese, corn on the cob, fries, and plantains! Between the awesome cheeseburger and lamb burger, I was in seventh heaven.

Service was a little shaky at first, but picked up as time went on. Sandwich was hot and freshly made. Seasoned just right and very flavorful. Fries were hot and crispy. No complaints on this.

Basic seating with nothing fancy. A full jar of fresh pickles is on the table. The pastrami is second to none. Seriously. You get a generous portion of pastrami on rye. Greasy, fatty, just perfect! The onion rings are the best. They are famous for a reason. I go a few times a month so, I'm always greeted by name and promptly seated. The food always arrives shortly after the order is taken.

Luckily I found Hobby's Delicatessen via Find Me Gluten Free and was so glad to find that they do legitimate gluten-free options with a dedicated fryer and prep space to prevent cross contamination. I had the gluten-free pastrami wrap with fries for $23.95 and my husband had the #5 pastrami and corned beef with coleslaw and Russian dressing for $25.95. he also got the drip coffee with free refills for $3.25. Service was amazing. Owner's came out and chatted with us and preemptively made sure that I was aware that my food was safe for me to consume. Our waitress was incredibly personable and sweet. There were free pickles on the table. I'm not even a pickle person but I had three because again, I've been dying for vegetables after being in Europe. Great portions, safe celiac options, personable service, refillable drinks and no charge to use the toilets (although I didn't need to use them during this visit) This is what makes American restaurants great and Hobby's ticks all of those boxes.

Loved the vibe here…read more Had a business lunch here and honestly it was a great choice. I can't take credit for choosing it. A super comfortable, not too loud or busy atmosphere. I got the Matcha pineapple juice and a Cesar salmon salad. The dressing was super different. It was a tomato Caesar which I've never encountered in the wild. That was absolutely delicious. I'd love to stop back and try some other things. If you're around here you gotta check it out.

The location is similar - a place that wouldn't be on your radar unless you know. I say all that to say, upon pulling up I remembered attending a private birthday party and some community networking events at Blueprint Cafe! We selected our own seating upon entry. What became our waiter offered a high chair for the baby. I get easily overwhelmed by large menus so I just glanced at the board but focused primarily on the brunch menu. I ordered the Irish Cream French toast which came with chicken. I also ordered a pineapple matcha lemonade. The pineapple matcha lemonade came in a bottle, which met my needs (juggling the baby and myself). I loved how refreshing and sweet it was! I really wanted another but didn't want to see greedy. The French toast was perfect. Not too sweet, light and fluffy. It paired well with the savory strips of chicken which came with a secret sauce. I forgot how nice of an addition Blueprint Cafe Lounge was to the Ironbound section. I'm looking forward to returning this summer and using the outdoor seating!
