Still great food and friendly service. Recently I've been ordering to pick up breakfast or lunch. While it's better to dine in. The servings are about the same anyway.

---------- 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.

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.

Tuna sandwich- celery & mayo needed a little salt and pepper but I appreciated they let me season it instead of over seasoning

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!

Short stack and the Farmer's Omelette
Adrienne M.

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!

Pancakes with Meat
Joanna L.

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!

Burger

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.

Such a gem! We found this restaurant completely randomly…read morewhile exploring New York and New Jersey with our little family, and I'm so glad we did! It has such a cute, cozy, family-owned feel to it. The service was amazing from the moment we walked in. Our waiter was so kind and she was very welcoming, which made the experience even better. The food tasted so fresh and delicious, and everything was made with care and love. Honestly, this ended up being our favorite breakfast spot from our whole trip! Even my son, who is known for leaving leftovers, finished his entire meal! That alone says a lot! He says this is his favorite breakfast he's ever had . And we are a family that loves to eat and try new rood and restaurants. From the East Coast to the West. The restaurant was also very clean, and I loved the simple but well-rounded menu. Sometimes you don't need a huge menu with a million choices--just good, fresh food and great service, and this place definitely delivered. Such a wonderful little find. We would absolutely come back if we can!

The smash burgers are delicious, flavorful, and always hit the spot. Their shakes are amazing--we make it a point to try a new flavor whenever we visit.

If you're looking for a great comfort-food meal and a treat-yourself kind of experience, I definitely recommend checking out Smash Shack!

The decor is traditional and cute with the neon signs and grass walls. Lots of space too! I wanted to try the mediterranean food so I ordered from the Tarboosh menu. There were 2 guys and a lady. They were all nice and helpful. Me and my gf always get the same thing. I got the chicken gyro bowl and she got the lamb gyro bowl. It wasn't in a bowl which made me sad haha but the portion size was good! We were both a fan of the meats and I loved the rice but my gf didn't. She prefers vermicelli. I really liked the onions! The whole dish was flavorful and I'm glad we were able to get leftovers. It's not the best I've tried but it was solid for a convenient location!

There were plenty of seats available in the restaurant area (where the band plays). Note that there's a separate bar area but if you sit there you won't be able to enjoy the live music. In terms of music there was a duo playing (Chris and Nick) and they were great! They played classic rock, top songs and all the good stuff. I will definitely be back next time they come back to the Vic. I believe they play there on a monthly basis. Service was great as usual. Our waiter (I believe his name is Jason) was super friendly and the waitress who was not serving our table but who remembered us from last time is also very friendly. Food was very tasty. Their Margherita pie is delicious ($13.95 for the large pie) and so is their fries with cheese ($3.95 for the small one which served 2 people well). I paid $10 for a pitcher of beer and my wife $6 for a glass of wine (which they refilled and didn't charge). I wish more people knew about this place because it was a great Friday night, great weather but there wasn't a lot of people there. Not all bands that play there are as good as Chris and Nick but there are some other good bands like Red Rox and a few others. Check their Facebook or Instagram page for the line ups.

He was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. My 85 year old dad chose the ribeye because it seemed like it was one of their most popular cut and it was cooked perfectly medium rare. My strip steak came out closer to medium than I ordered, but it still tasted really good, so no major complaints there. The baked potato was amazing and honestly one of the highlights of the meal. We didn't get an appetizer or dessert and with 20% tip, it was $91. In this economy, you really can't beat that. I'd definitely go again.

As far as the staff goes they are all pretty much very goood workers hard working friendly fir the most part never rude. Its a shame that this has happen to me. Because it will be a long while before i return 95% of my steak into the garbage Franchisees really are Garbage. It's always great in the beginning and then towards the end they start serving Garbage like I was served that day place was half empty. I couldn't even believe it that day something is not right. They need to check who is seasoning these steaks and serving them like that either train them or get rid of them When I get around through it, I'll give this place another chance because I was so disgusted and grossed out by what I was served. It would be a while before I go back and if they do this again, serve that Garbage to me again I'll promise you it will be the last time I will ever go there.
