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!

Hot open faced turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy. Included soup

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.

Bacon, tomato and Omelette.   Cheese added at an extra cost.

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.

Egg, corned beef hash patty & grits

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!

I am a Reuben guy. This plate was clean shortly after the pic was taken.

Our waitress was great and it was an above average diner experience. I think the food quality is better than most diners and the service was exactly what we needed. She was there anytime we needed something. I would definitely return to JJ's Diner!

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.

BLT club, fries are extra
Lee M.

Quick stop on a wintry Saturday afternoon. Chose the BLT club and for a few extra bucks, added fries. I thought the sandwich was good, a nice ratio of the bacon and other ingredients. Waitress was friendly and checked often. Easy access from highway.

Chicken and waffles
Alvin M.

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.

Friendly atmosphere, great service, and AMAZING food. I highly recommend the chicken and waffle with maple gravy. I will definitely make this a regular stop on my future trips to the shore.

Delilah; eggs with cheese, French toast, bacon and sausage.

Went here based on a friend's recommendation. I don't know how they came up with this…read morerecommendation, but I won't be back, nor recommend it. I've been to several Japanese sushi and seafood buffets before and can say without a doubt, this was the worst. Sushi rolls were mediocre, like supermarket sushi rolls on discount day. I was expecting more. This was the only item that was passable. The Chinese side of it was terrible. Cold seafood, when it's supposed to be hot. Duck that was cold and bony/fat and should have been warm and better tasting. The spare ribs were dry, like hours on the line and everyone avoided it. Soups were bland, and warm. The hot and sour was the worst one I tasted in the last 30 years. No oysters. No crab legs. Desserts were pretty much all frozen and nondescript. I had the chocolate cupmice cream and it was ok. On a positive note, the service was good, as they cleaned off old plates, and refilled drinks when asked. So, bottom line. One star for the food.

This place is a solid 10/10 feels like a cruise buffet, but even better because they offer hotpot…read moretoo! It's a great spot to go with friends. I just found out it's part of a chain, so I'll definitely be checking out the other locations to see if they measure up. Very clean environment and fast service. I went there on a weekday and I sure they would put even more food on the weekends!
