I had a breakfast omelet with toast and potatoes and it was great. You can't go wrong with breakfast at a diner! We also had a patty melt but it was served on thick Texas toast so you couldn't actually eat it the way it came, you had to dissect it. I was in on a weekday for lunch and it was busy. The prices seemed a little high if you're comparing to a regular diner but again I think they were trying to have a little more elevated feel. I would definitely return if I was in the area.

The presentation was really nice, near perfect if the fries were warmer. The cheeseburger was excellent and cole slaw was fresh.

Crispy bacon, juicy tomatoes, ripe avocados, all on a perfectly soft grain bread. And the fries were excellent as well! My friends all enjoyed their meals as well. They also have very fun mocktails.

We ended up chatting away even after we dined. Staff was very polite reminding us they needed the spot and was also kind enough to give us a some time even before the reminder. Would definitely recommend this place!

With that being said the service we received here yesterday was outstanding and better than any five star restaurant. I cannot say how wonderful our waiter was.. I can't remember his name because let's face it. I had a few drinks because that's what it's about there. I believe it was. Giancarlo? So the manager if you see this, please let me know if that's correct or not. This kid was incredible. He was helpful without being overbearing. He was great with his beer knowledge, but we really sold me was when there was a table behind us that had a son with special needs at this young man treated that table with kindness and compassion and really we need more of that. To the owner of this business, I know that the wait staff gets a very minimal amount per hour because they depend on tips, but if there's anyway you can raise his base pay, I would love to see that we were only gonna have one drink each, but because of how he treated us we ended up having two for me and three for my husband, that young man is an investment

The fries were nicely cooked and salted, but $8 was a lot for the amount given. $4 would have made more sense. And then yes, I'm even going to mention the iced tea. Because there are not very many restaurants I go to that offer a freshly brewed iced tea, which is one of my favorite drinks. It really makes the meal perfect and I appreciate a freshly brewed tea vs a canned one. Staff is nice and brought water for my dog too.

I've had the pin for about 40 years and who knows how long she'd had it before me. First time at this restaurant in a meh kind of mood. Asking for an egg that wasn't on the menu, asking for togarashi spice ... it was almost closing time I was hangry. I felt a lot better after eating their warm delicious soup. I went across the way for a beer at Montclair brewery which never disappoints either and the carnival (yay montclair). I went home just to realize that the dress rebelled and the pin fell off (no shade on the funnel cake). I retraced my steps but pretty much knew it was a lost cause. But the pin meant so much to me so I decided I would call around on the very off off off chance anyone would have found it. The brewery didn't have it, my car, my lawn, the carnival was a mess, what are the odds? I certainly would not have left it at the restaurant because I was just sitting there. But why not call right? Guess what?! Ken- at Chef Chef was so happy when I called "I remember you! I found your pin in the bathroom! It's here! " Welp 12 hours later I'm standing here before they open today -- all smiles they opened the door and handed me, all wrapped up in plastic wrap, my grandmother's pin.

The Lobster Bomb is 6oz of perfectly cooked warm lobster, tucked into a pillowy, round loaf of sourdough. The bisque is served in a container on the side. Every element of this dish is exceptional.
