Two Egg Breakfast
Leena S.

The Hightstown diner has been a fixture in downtown Hightstown for over 90 years. The diner which looks like an old rail road car is small and homey inside. It's a diner and the food and service fit that description perfectly. The food is solid and reasonably priced diner fare. Service is friendly and efficient. We frequent this place on occasion for breakfast and brunch.I've tried a variety of options from omelets, turkey sandwich, to soups all for a reasonable price.

Classic diner with a homey feel. Great for both breakfast and dinner. Omelettes and pancakes are delicious. Matzoh ball soup is wonderful and good to take home too. Also great sandwiches, like chicken salad. Service is friendly and timely. Looking forward to coming again soon!

Turkey burger

We enjoyed the food so that was the big plus. However, service was not great. Our waters were never filled and I actually had to get up and interrupt the waitress sitting on her phone to request refills. Our waitress was also quite curt and it felt like us being there was an inconvenience. Ambiance was very typical of a diner, but it is smaller than most. It was okay for a quick bite to eat but I probably wouldn't come out of my way to eat here again.

Came here for breakfast on a day trip to Pennsylvania was easily accessible off the highway, super friendly staff . Nice to see some healthy choices for breakfast. Enjoyed the Energy Platter. All the food we ordered came out quickly by a super friendly waiter of ours. Any other things we needed like coffee refills , water and napkins came out quickly. Love the feeling inside also has a nice seating area outside I saw. Would definitely come back for lunch or dinner sometime.

I came in after spending the day at Six Flags and was looking for quality food to sit down and enjoy. We were promptly sat and our waiter was so attentive and quick with everything we were impressed! Almost everything on the menu includes soup or salad. We enjoyed the seafood bisque soup of the day which was excellent. I ordered a belgian waffle and a burger. My friend ordered the cheesesteak. Both came out quickly and we were checked on throughout the meal if we needed anything else. The prices were also affordable! This will definitely be my place to come when I leave Six Flags from now on.

Stopped in on the way back to the city and was pleasantly surprised this place was on Triple D. Fairly empty when we were there and the service was prompt and friendly. Got the corn beef and hash and Florentine omelette. Portion sizes are large so we probably could have shared. Oh well. Quaint diner experience and next time I'd sit at the counter to get the full affect.

Much respect for marking this seat for "Marshall"

Hightstown diner is pretty much everything you could ever want in a diner. Let's start with the ambience. It starts off with advertisements from local businesses on the door pretty standard, and then also as followed by local advertisements on the placemat. Then everything from the counter stools to the tile on the wall. Nailed it! The food was good. What you' would expect from a diner, diner food. I ordered an avocado BLT. That was well manicured and delicious. End it with a cherry on top, which was a Leslie choice. She was our server for the afternoon, and had all the character and charm of what you would expect from a beautiful 83-year-old waitress from New Jersey. Loved it, please go visit Joyce!

A quaint historical diner in the downtown area. The coffee was hot and fresh. The service was prompt and efficient. The food was delicious with the exception of the rancid fruit cup. The pancakes especially were good and portions were huge.

Quick and easy ordering process, staff don't waste any time getting your order & getting to work on it. Oddly enough there is an ordering kiosk at the counter right next to where you would order with staff. I guess that is for if you're feeling anti-social. Sitting area upstairs, so it is not wheelchair or elderly friendly for the sitting area. No outdoor seating. A very hustle & bustle kinda deal. We had the double patty smash. Overall was it "WTT?" Worth The Trip....YES! Absolutely!! The burger was amazing. It tasted like the smashburger in my mind. Perfection! So even at 30 minutes from my house and horrific parking, I would definitely come back. Grades: Double Patty: A++

I just wish there was something fresh or crunchy to balance out all the soft textures from the bread, beef patty, and cheese. I also added beef bacon to my burger, even though it's not listed as an add on the menu. I really wish more of these newer smashburger restaurants had lettuce and/or tomatoes as an add on topping. That would help cut through the grease and make the burger feel a little lighter. The restaurant is very clean and bright, I liked the atmosphere while I was in there and the staff were nice!

Burger place @ Lawrenceville, NJ…read more The burger joint is conveniently located at Mercer Mall where the shoprite is located. We ordered double char combo and original char burger. The burgers were fully cooked as we liked and was juicy and yummy. The French fries were also crispy. Ordering thru the kiosk was easy and picked up the food when the texture came. The seating area was clean and nicely decorated with California landscape pictures. The cashier was friendly when asked for cups for soda and a free sundae when email didn't come once Charburger reward program was joined. A nice place to have a quick meal.

A nice size and tasted fresh and hot. The only thing I didn't like was that the bread seemed to have been toasted with butter. I can do without the extra fat so it's something I have to remember to mention when I visit this establishment again. It doesn't take away from the rating, but worth mentioning and if you like to watch your fat intake. I prefer bacon so I rather cut back on the buttered toasted bread. The place was also clean so overall a good experience. I hope that others that are closer to me are as good as well.

Stuck in the back of the shopping center with Marrazzo's and Sal DeForte's, right next door to a ramen noodle shop, these friendly folks are hospitable and enjoy conversing with their customers. After a few questions I ordered their "The Dragon," burger combo. They do smash burgers here, and the finished sandwich looked like a half pounder in an oversized bun, with plenty of heat from cherry peppers, jalapeños, onions, topped with spicy mayo and creole cole slaw with a hint of mango to offset the flames. It needed no ketchup nor additional contributions, and was delicious from bite one. All the parts played very well together. A little drippy to be sure, but easily managed. It came with a pile of crisp waffle fries that did require a squirt of ketchup, but were able second mates to the main beefy attraction. This was a very enjoyable meal, that would only be complemented by the house being better suited for eating in, right when everything is at its apex of perfection. Shitzz n Glizzies has the potential to compete with the big burger guys in the area. Will have to let you know about their franks and steaks at another time, but there is reason for optimism.
