We were a party of 4 coming in on a Sunday morning for brunch. It's my first time coming in, and as soon as I walked in the door, I felt the racial difference. A mix of white Americans and black folks, we were one of the few Asians here. I understand that it is a busy Sunday, but we weren't greeted by either the host or the server. After waiting for about 5 minutes, we were seated in a large table. Our server is really rude coming in with "oh, why are you guys seated in a large table when you're only a group of 4?" It was a 5 table top. My friend asked "what type of teas do you have?" had been met with "what type of tea do you want?" There was a lot of waiting for even the smallest items. We had to constantly flag down our disgruntled server for a refill of our water, to get our orders in, etc. it became ridiculous at this point. Food was slow coming in, when I spoke to the server- it was very rude comments or just "I know", constantly have to flag down our server while all other servers were accommodating to their tables. Food was bland, a lot of pepper & salt couldn't make the potatoes taste good. Overall, it wasn't a great experience. I wouldn't come here again.
I usually don't eat breakfast, but today I felt I wanted to try something different so I went to this place and here's how it went ... Upon arrival there was a lady at the front by the register and I must say she's NOT very pleasant . I say good morning and she tells me to sit on the other side by the booths . Still NOT a very pleasant person for first thing in the morning. Once at my table this lovely waitress (a much older lady ) comes to greet me and take my order , what a difference , she should be the one greeting people . She takes my order and not even 10 minutes later I was served a very nice , freshly made and warm breakfast . The food was really good for a small town dinner , cooked to perfection and you could tell everything was made to order and it wasn't just sitting there pre cooked . Than I asked the waitress for the check and walk to the register to pay and just as when I went in the not so pleasant lady charged me and I left . I don't know who she was but if she's the owner she definitely needs to learn to be more friendly . Aside from that , if you want a nice warm breakfast I would definitely recommend.
Stayed at an airbb close by and this was highly suggested by the owner of the airbb who's a local. I came in around 1045am but was wanting more of a lunch the waiter gave me both menus. Everything looked great, most people we're ordering breakfast. I went with the tuna sandwich which was really good and more on the savory side- it came with slaw and a pickle everything was perfect. I ordered waffle fries and they were amazing!
A great experience with great service and amazing food, I highly recommend this place if your around this neighborhood, and try there buttered toasted blueberry muffin, it's really that good, and if the owner of this place is seeing this, please note that God is watching over you, and may he bless you and keep you!
Grub Hub order review: I love a good diner breakfast! Food was so good and arrived hot and fresh. Food was not soggy at all once delivered Only four stars because: 1. It was a take out order, still need to experience the full dining service 2. My potatoes were too light skin, as per pic lol. They could've been cooked a lil longer for that crisp golden look, yasss!
My dad and I decided to stop by the Lighthouse Restaurant on a Sunday afternoon for a quick brunch! Ambiance: You definitely get "diner vibes" from this spot. It was a bit busy given that it's was a Sunday afternoon but we were seated within a minute. There's booth seats as well as regular tables towards the back. Looking at the restaurant from the outside you would think it's small but it's pretty big. Food: The menu is endless! If you want a bit of everything definitely come to this spot. I decided to order the 2 stack of pancakes along with the farmers omelet which came with home fries and toast. The food came out within 15-20 minutes and boy was it good! Price: Farmers omelet was $10 and a short stack was $5.50. It was enough food to fill me up and take some home. Parking: They have a small lot at the back of the restaurant but when it's busy it looks like it is a pain to get out of. To avoid that I just parked on the street. Service: Our waiter was great! Attentive, always came by to refill our coffee and make sure we were okay. The reason why I gave this spot 3 stars is because upon walking in, we were not greeted by the lady at the cash register. Also, when leaving and paying as well. Bayonne is full of small/local businesses and being a small/local business you should show your customers you care. When bringing the check to the counter we were just stared at and when we paid and was getting ready to leave we didn't even get a "have a great day," or "thank you for coming." I kinda want to give this spot a 4 but I'm just not a fan yet. Since I live in the area I may pop in again since the food was great but hospitality wins me every time. Will I be back? Yes, and I will provide an updated review!
My boyfriend and I got French toast, corn beef hash, pancakes with a side of Taylor ham. Fairly decent price for how much the portions are and filling they are. The pancakes had a good texture to it, French toast was cinnamony with the a slight crisp on the outsides. The corn beef hash was not oily but was super good with the potatoes!
Our go to diner in Bayonne! It is pretty quiet here even on Sundays which blows my mind because I think they deserve way more recognition than they get! I have tried out their Belgian waffle with Ice cream and bananas as well as their eggs, bacon and home fries breakfast. My fiancé has had the Veggie omelet as well as their burger which he really enjoyed! We have both dined in and ordered delivery and both services have been quick. I definitely recommend this spot if you want a quick bite.
FOOD POISONING! We ordered breakfast for delivery. Pancakes come with syrup and butter in the small cups that the restaurant prepares themself. The butter was sour, unfortunately I put the butter over the whole pancake and did not notice until I had already eaten a couple of bites. It was hard to tell at first because I had put syrup but when I tasted a tiny bit of butter by itself and it was very sour. I instantly felt sick from the idea of sour butter. 24 hours later I had all the symptoms of food poisoning.
Once again I had a positive experience visiting this location. Their menu is huge so it would take someone over 15 minutes to read it all but on the positive side you'll definitely find something you enjoy. This time I dined in and had a bacon cheeseburger deluxe. Burger was cooked as requested, fries were delicious as usual and even the bacon was cooked as requested (they asked me if I wanted them crispy and they were super crispy). Our waitress was friendly and attentive but the elderly lady who works at the front who's also the cashier could be a little more friendly. They have a small parking lot but there were no available parking spots though there's metered parking in front of the restaurant (make sure to feed the meter!). When we arrived on a weekday at 12pm the place was packed but by 1pm most people were gone, so apparently the busy hour is between 11am and 12pm. read more
---------- I came back and I got a burger. The one that was the "prime" and more expensive. It was super dry, like a hockey puck. I doubt it was prime cut meat. Also the Mac and cheese on top was also dry like it was sitting around for a while. And the bun was dry! It was such your average potato bun and it was toasted to a crisp. The flavor was good for the burger but a shame it was so dry and tough, The fries where very good though and cooked well. My husband got the Greek omelete like my friend did and loved it. Reducing stars to a 3 for the burger experience. read more

OMG!! This place is delicious . Originally my family and I had planned on eating at a little cafe down the street, but it was closed. THANK GOD we found this place. The pancakes and French Toast are both SO nice and fluffy. The omelets were definitely made fresh with the best ingredients. I most definitely recommend!! read more

I have not had any issues, I have had breakfast three times and lunch this weekend. It is always packed and loud but we are always seated quickly, food served hot and in a timely manner. The flavors are decent, typical diner food and the service is courteous. This weekend my daughter had grilled chicken and french fries and I had a Philly cheese steak which could have used a bit more cheese but tasty nonetheless. read more
Lighthouse diner is really good. I don't think the 3.5 star rating this place has is deserved. Trust me, the overall rating of this diner should be 4.5. Most of the meals I've had here are great, including the chicken francaise, soups, triple deckers, moussaka, burgers, etc. the only meals I didn't like were the Reuben and the chicken cordon bleu. Otherwise, this is a great place to dine in or order out. read more
Classic Greek/New Jersey Diner right in the middle of town in Bayonne. This place has been a local standard in this city for a long time. Rarely will they blow you away with what they have on the menu but I will praise the consistent level of service and quality that the Lighthouse brings to the table. Daily specials include rotating soups as well as different Italian and Greek/Mediterranean options. My go to at this establishment is either the roast beef or the French Dip(which are alarming similar I get it). The roast Beef has always been fresh and rarely if ever too dry. The same type of beef will be going in the French dip(pictured with this review) however the bread is lightly toasted and buttered with garlic to give it another level of flavor. The fries come plentiful but are average at best and the au jus comes in a big enough serving to gravy up every bite. Loses a star based on the weird delivery hours. They do not deliver for breakfast or lunch and are only available from 3pm to 8pm Monday through Saturday. read more
