It's so nice to see that after nearly 2.5 years of leaving my last review, my photo of my delish Belgian waffle with bananas and strawberries is the cover shot!! And I have to say, my review remains the same at 5 stars...JJ's Diner does not disappoint! Our awesome server was Mary Ann with an M ....she gave us friendly and warm service and she was very attentive. Our food came out hot and was delicious - - i had another waffle, but this time with just bananas - -and hubby had scrambled eggs and hash browns covered in cheese - - and he LOVED every bite as did I. And the coffee is just perfect! JJ's is a bright light and such a heavenly oasis. Everyone should be as happy and positive as the people that work at JJ's. They have worked hard to provide this consistently good food and service over the years. We will make it a point to be back again next time we are in town. read more

Hi there Yelpers. This counts as the fourth time coming to this diner to enjoy their breakfast. On three of four occasions I enjoyed - thoroughly - their Sunriser. That's creamed chipped beef over toast with two eyes any style but I get mine poached or over easy accompanied by grits. Yes. Grits. Which explains my finally trying their sausage and gravy. Quite traditional dish I'm told by a Floridian friend who I had join me this past week while she visited. We agreed that the server was allowing us the time we needed to catch up with the right amount of follow up. I'd have liked to have my water refilled one more time. But that was on me for not stopping to ask as she poured another cup of coffee for my friend. I've had their coffee and it's delicious. My friend enjoyed the international omelette. She enjoyed it. The diner has its own parking lot with plenty of parking. The inside is eclectic but with definite typical Jersey diner vibes and the counter and stools to go with it. I've sat at the counter and the service is cordial and inviting. Quick too when necessary. Enjoy if you are coming to or from ACY as it's close and you'll feel satisfied either arriving into the area before heading to AC or returning home. Enjoy! read more

JJ's is one of our favorite places in town and tonight reminded me why. We stopped in for a quick bite and I enjoyed one of my best dessert treats, the banana cream pie. It isn't always available so when you see it you ask for it. It's creamy, light, and just perfect. My husband had the Manhattan clam soup which is always a great starter. You can't go wrong with it and it's one of his favorites. The atmosphere is warm and the staff makes it even better. All the waitresses are personable, they greet us by name and they seem to know so many of the repeat guests. It feels like a true neighborhood spot where everyone is welcome. Just wanted to share two of our favorites from a place we always enjoy. JJ's never disappoints. read more

Representing 2022 in alphabet series, J is for JJ's Diner. I visited one time on Friday, July 15, 2022. I had NJ work travel, one of 3 times ever when I was helping with the NJ market in 2022. I drove from my home in Maryland up to Trenton area first for work travel & then the 2nd was kind of close to Atlantic City. I needed to find a place to WiFi as I had some work to do and was unfamiliar with the area. I figured when in Rome, I might as well go to Atlantic City to walk the boardwalk & look around. Also, when in Rome, New Jersey is known for diners, so I wanted to eat at a diner while here. Additionally, it works out I should get the diner badge on Yelp for 3 diner reviews this year. I drove from my 2nd work travel east and stumbled across JJ's. I was hungry too. I asked if I could WiFi here and that I'd order food. The server was very nice and accommodating getting me a good place to WiFi to take photos of documents to send to the team from work travel to email them. Ultimately, I was hungry and opted for an omelet with potatoes. It was a great omelet with mushrooms, spinach, & maybe a couple of other things. Service was friendly & efficient and great food too! read more

Waitresses leave little to be desired, food ok, will not go back. I sat at the counter, looked up from my menu and looked at the waitress, a signal your ready to order, when somebody else sat next to me the waitress went up to her and asked if she knew what she wanted, and actually waited there while the girl perused the menu, I kept saying excuse me to deaf ears. Never again read more

Ask for Patty just tell her to bring you her favorite thing and you're going to get the best cheesesteak on earth loaded with bacon mushrooms, fried onions. It was amazing and when the check came, I thought she made a mistake. It was less than $12 really it was huge and delicious delicious I love this place. I recommend it to anybody who enjoys getting home-cooked food food with a smile in an old school type atmosphere where all actually say hello to you. It's fun. I like it there. read more

Love the 'hometown' feel to the staff and others dining, but the food is so good! Big portions home made everything even the deserts!

Bang for buck, this homey little diner is a pleasant stop for a weekend brunch. Very easy to find off the highway. We had my 95 year old mother who tottered in and everyone was very kind and gentle with her. For my meal, I opted for the hot turkey sandwich which came with a giant pile of mashed potatoes. The turkey was fresh off the bone. The gravy was delicious. Huge portion, enough for two meals. read more

Most amazing breakfasts...Bagel & Lox and biscuits n gravy Best you've ever had. Pleny of parking. Central location. Great service.

My wife and I had breakfast here on October 21, 2025. First time trying this place and we were expecting much more based on the Yelp reviews. First off, our server was OUTSTANDING! She was helpful, checked in often and anticipated our needs. Thanks Paula M! We ordered the Breakfast Quesadilla and a Bacon, Tomato and Onion Omelette. Added cheese at an extra cost. I've never seen that before. The Omelette was very thin and large so the contents were way spread out. Cheese was a small blob in the middle. Breakfast Quesadilla was a big portion but it was soggy on the bottom from too much fat. Very greasy for what should have been a "hand held" item. Loaded with BIG pieces of green pepper which overwhelmed the dish. We both had home fries with our meals and these were under seasoned and should have been crisped up a bit. Coffee was good. We won't be back. read more

Great classic American diner ambiance and friendly service bring back nostalgic memories here in Egg Harbor Township, NJ. The food is phenomenal. The only downside is that they close early. If you want dinner, you better be an early bird or a brunch person. read more

Decent place for us out of towners to stop for a late breakfast en route to the Cape May ferry. Large place with a pretty full parking lot at noon on a Saturday. Clean & bright inside Breakfast was really good - plenty of food & good prices. I had egg, corn beef hash patty - came with grits (pretty good) & toast. Our server was nice & made sure we had what we needed. Good decision to stop here! read more

Right from the first bite, I knew I was in for something special. I ordered the sausage gravy with biscuits, and it was honestly plate-licking good. The kind of gravy you don't just eat, you savor. You could immediately tell it was homemade, with pieces of sausage throughout, not some uniform, processed mush from a bag. The sausage chunks were different sizes, full of flavor, and the gravy was rich, peppery, and absolutely amazing. I was seriously tempted to ask for a spoon and just finish the rest of it straight. Add in the fresh biscuit and this was heaven. I paired it with a side of home fries and asked for onions mixed in, which took them to another level. There's just nothing better than diner flattop-caramelized onions with crispy potatoes. simple, classic, and done perfectly here. The big reason we chose JJ's was because they're one of the few diners that actually makes homemade corned beef hash. Most places serve that over-salted, canned, dog-food-style version (hormel), but this was the complete opposite. It was fresh, flavorful, and genuinely delicious. The portion was a little small for a side, but honestly, I understand, corned beef isn't cheap when it's made from fresh from scratch. Even the coffee impressed me. I usually expect diner coffee to be burnt or sour, but not here. It was smooth, enjoyable, and paired nicely with the meal. The flavored creamers were a nice touch too. And the best part of the whole experience was our server, Mary Ann M. She was welcoming, energetic, and truly cared about making sure we had a great breakfast. That kind of genuine hospitality and old-school work ethic is hard to find these days. We left feeling completely satisfied -- and the biscuits and gravy was so good I had to order another one to go. What really stood out was the extra effort Mary Ann M. took when packing it up. Instead of throwing everything into one container to turn into a soupy mess, she packed everything separately so I could reheat it properly and enjoy it the next day. Well done, JJ's. We'll absolutely be back next time we visit AC. read more

Stopped in here after a flight, ordered the Italian roast pork sandwich and was not disappointed, it was outstanding! The waitress brought out a bowl of au jus gravy to dip in, this sandwich reminds me of something you'd get in Philadelphia at a side street deli. The waitress was very nice, will make it a point to stop back soon. read more

Came here for a large group brunch on a Sunday. Place has a warm, small town diner feel to it. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. Food was delicious, largely portioned, and reasonably priced. My chicken and waffles came with a unique syrup gravy sauce that complemented both the chicken and the waffles. Would definitely come back. read more

We stopped in for lunch and were appalled at the service. We waited quite a while for service and kept having to flag people down for water. They weren't very busy. The waitress was rude and obnoxious, and it was probably the worst treatment I've had from any server. She didn't understand service dogs (something the owners may want to brush up on, it could be a liability) and screamed "Jesus" very loudly when the dog didn't go under the table. The table next to us said to us how rude she had been to them too. The food was good but I would strongly recommend avoiding this place. read more

This is exactly what I wanted after a very long drive to the area. Our group of 4 couldn't have been happier with our pre-wedding lunch, so a big thank you to Yelp for leading us to JJ's! We were seated right away on a Friday afternoon, and while most of the group got sandwiches (which all looked amazing) I was still craving breakfast. Luckily JJ's, like all amazing NJ diners, does all day breakfast! I got the garden veggie omelette and added feta. The omelette was perfectly cooked, the home fries were nice and crispy, and I couldn't be happier. Of course I stole a few fries from neighboring plates because they looked fantastic. So flippin' good and and incredibly crunchy. Our waitress was so sweet and let us know to stop by on Sunday for chicken and waffles. We would already be back home but I still needed to note it here incase anyone finds themselves in the area on a Sunday. She also let us know that everything was home cooked. Loved this find. read more

Filthy, bad service. Degenerate staff and customers. Walked in and right back out. Don't waste your time or lower yourself.

Great Diner, even better food and service! JJ's has gotten more popular over the years so expect the establishment to get busy during the later morning and lunch hours. A lot of seating and people are in and out quickly so you never have to wait very long. I've been in for breakfast a few times and it has never disappointed. All their omelettes and breakfast platters are everything you expect, delicious and very filling. Probably the best cream chipped beef breakfast platter I've ever had. Pancakes are fluffy and their waffles are a beautiful combo of crisp and soft inside. They have a chicken and waffle platter as their Sunday special. Very good and filling so if you want to try it, I suggest sharing it with someone so that you can enjoy their many other wonderful items on their menu. Love it here! read more

Great food and friendly service. Their crab cake brioche was SO yummy, fried crab cake, moist and tasty with ample veggie in the sandwich. Chicken parmigiana was a big portion and delicious.

Food was good, but it is a small menu. Popular place. Hard to get to because of the traffic pattern

Still the best diner around. Not a huge fan of dinners but JJs is much better than most. Usually go for breakfast but decided to stop for lunch. My wife and I both ordered the shrimp avacado salad which was a lunch special and came with a cup of soup (tomato orzo). The salad with the house made Greek dressing was delicious. The tomato orzo soup was also very good. The service was great also. read more

Was on our way to Storybook Land when I was looking for a decent place to eat en route. Saw the good reviews and decided to give it a try. Pretty decent place and in my case, one of those rare situations when I ordered the wrong thing and it ended up tasting really good. I erroneously got the chopped steak and it ended up being quite delicious. The onion gravy on top was really tasty and was the definition of comfort food. After my yummy meal, I literally wanted to take a nice nap somewhere. The burgers and salads also got high marks from the family. It's generally speaking a very good diner experience and if you're looking for some simple straightforward food, this place did me right. The service here was also friendly and the prices were reasonable. All in it's a solid place to get a good meal. read more

As great diners have seemingly disappeared across South Jersey, JJ's fills the void with near-perfect execution. I love this spot! The breakfast is always on point and the menu is massive. Great eggs, potatoes, sides and hot coffee check all the boxes for what make a diner stand out. I love their creamed chip beef and always clear the plate. I've never tried lunch or dinner here, but I can't imagine it being a miss with how on point their breakfasts are. This place draws a crowd, especially on weekends so come prepared to wait sometimes although there are multiple rooms and ample seating. If you want to know what the true diner experience is all about, make your way to JJ's and enjoy. read more
