New York Burger
Michael R.

Our meal was fantastic. Service was on point, ambiance good down home diner. The menu is huge we came for a late breakfast, but both chose a burger and what a good choice it was. Pastrami burger had enough tasty pastrami to make its own sandwich. Cobb burger comes with a whole sliced up avocado. The unsweet ice tea was really good. Found this place by driving past turned around stopped and ate very happy we did. Highly recommend

Diners are one of my favorite places to eat because of their EXTENSIVE menu options, and Lakeside Diner did not disappoint! It felt like we ate the entire menu, but we weren't even close. The pulled pork sliders were one of the favorite things I ate, and even their hot coffee beat a lot of diner coffees in the area. The staff were super friendly, and Chris checked on us multiple times to make sure we were enjoying everything. The diner was super clean and gave classic diner vibes. This location is close to my parents' house-- so next time I visit we will definitely be back!

My wife said she forgot how good food really was coming back here, the owner was super friendly, the service was excellent, had a crock of French onion soup, which was stellar, and delicious moussaka with a perfect Greek salad, all of the vegetables were fresh, and the dressing was delicious The desserts were absolutely wonderful. picked up several pieces of cheesecake at the recommendation of the owner to share with my brother and his wife to be for their upcoming wedding and enjoyed several of the Greek pastries. Enjoyed talking about food with the owner, who obviously is very passionate about high-quality food. he told me he likes to smoke his own pastrami and sounds like an old-school diner owner who really values all of his customers. Definitely will come back here the next time I'm in the area, thanks again for the delicious food Chris

Menu, such a great place!

A great, traditional old (style) New Jersey diner. Nicely laid out, with far more room than you'd think. Menu features expected diner fare but prepared with great care - and generosity. The fried calamari were fresh & crisp and LIGHTLY coated. Why, they even included tentacles, which are my favorite part. The Cobb salad had a truly generous amount of chicken, atop crispy greens. My wife's grilled chicken caesar wrap was stuffed with tender meat. My Manhattan clam chowder was the real deal, with plenty of clams. And the grilled pork chops were thick, tender and JUICY. Service was attentive and gracious. Go there.

Came here for a baked good and was hoping that the muffin was more fresh than what it was... it seemed like it had been baked a few days ago but I was hungry so I ate it! They had many dessert options on display near the entrance and they seemed to have many options on the menu but I did not try anything else. I would come back here to try fresh food though. The employees there were friendly :)

Talk about a business model that has gone south - this used to be a staple for our family. Food was…read moregreat and plentiful - aware that its always overpriced for the area, it was still worth it. Until it wasn't. They can't handle the overwhelming pressure, the lines are long, the wait is atrocious, and the servers - except for one who actually knows the business - have no idea what they are doing behind the cramped area they use for making food. We had egg sandwiches one day, (which, i'll admit, was the bomb with those hashbrowns) where they forgot the egg. We're rushing to the airport and they forget the key ingrediant? Nice. They didn't like me interupting them to fix it, and against the clock I was certainly agitated. They cook deli meat for cold sandwiches, and don't like it when you complain, because most of them can't speak a lick of English so you might as well bark at the wall. From the show of declining reviews, your poor customer service, I highly suggest a revised business plan.

A good bagel place will have a long line when you enter, and Goldberg's definitely had one when I…read morecame in after 9 am on a Saturday so I had lofty expectations. There were about 10 people in front of me and despite about 6-7 people working there, the wait was rather lengthy. It was about 25 mins from when I strolled in to when I received my order. Good news commuters! There is a parking lot as part of this mini mall with ample spaces available. There were about 20 different bagels available to choose from - including some of the more popular - salt, sesame, onion, garlic, plain, everything and a few of the more unusual - french toast and cheddar jalapeño. As I waited I saw the owner engaging in banter with a few of the more familiar customers. I could tell that this is an establishment that is a well respected part of the community. Unfortunately, Goldberg's has one of my pet peeves that is a growing part of the restaurant experience. And I get it. They add a certain percentage for credit card transactions, BUT I wouldn't know exactly what that was because it wasn't posted anywhere inside or outside the restaurant. When I pointed it out to the owner, he was extremely respectful, admited his wrongdoing and told me he would put something on the front door and by the cash register. I wasn't about to hang out to verify. The place does have a dining area with one of the more unusual set ups. There were several bikes (motorcycle, bicycle, etc.) around the perimeter. It seemed to take away from the seating area but it added a little character to the place. I ordered a cinnamon raisin bagel with turkey bacon, egg whites, and Swiss cheese. The bagel was slightly above average. It was fluffy and had a sufficient number of raisins. The taste wasn't anything special. The bagel did have plenty of egg whites and turkey bacon and the order was accurate! I also went with a medium coffee. The coffee was average. What I truly liked about this place, was the fixins are where the customer can add as much whole milk or or oat milk or creamer as they would like. Overall, pros, the bagel sandwich was good and the staff was friendly. I love that you can add as much milk or sugar as you'd like on your own. The cons include no posted signs about a surcharge for credit cards and the wait. I'm still waiting to find a bagel in this area that I'd consider very good. I probably come back to this place, but I wouldn't go out of my way.
