If you're hungry and want to be fed well, Manny's is the place to go. I came with my family and we couldn't believe the humongous portion sizes of our meals. My pulled pork sandwich was served open-faced with thick French fries. The sandwich was hearty and the pork was nice and tender, with the barbecue sauce a nice addition. It wasn't too packed for an early Sunday evening, and our server was attentive and warm. We enjoyed seeing the baked goods in the displays up front, and how we were able to see them slicing their fresh cheesecakes behind the counter. I took a strawberry cheesecake to go. It wasn't too sweet, but the richness certainly stood out. You can't beat quality food for amazing prices, both of which are found here. read more

At 12:30 in the afternoon it must be peak time for lunch. We waited 20 minutes to be brought to an annex that had little or no air conditioning. It was 90 degrees outside, and it felt like 80 degrees inside. The lunch menu was limited, and I ordered 1/2 sandwich and soda, and it came with French fries. The portion was ample and the food was good. I was very uncomfortable with the air which affected my asthma. The price was $24 which included the tip. My advice is wait until you get a table with air conditioning. read more

A little disappointed because Mannys Diner is usually one of my favorite spots to come to with my family, but after my experience I don't know if i'll ever go back. I ordered online and paid $52 for 2 soups and a mac n cheese only to get there an hour after ordering and my order was never sent through. Finally my food is ready over an hour after I ordered and my soups are luke warm with Matzo balls the size of golf balls. $9 for each of these containers of soups was just not worth it in the slightest and I wish I ate in person because I would really love a refund. Such a shame. read more

Average sprawling diner in the heart of Clark. My daughter had the chicken stir fry which was well seasoned, average amount chicken. Wife had the grilled chicken wrap, overall good. I had Tuscanny chicken panini, which had some average chicken, mozzarella, etc on what looked like toasted flatbread - not sure this made a panini press, but it was just ok. Cheese wasn't melted at all. Will go in a different direction next time. They have steaks, burgers, pasta - will probably try those next time. Also they have a coffee bar, as well as a full patio bar which seems like a nice place to hang out. Great service. Lots of parking. read more

Mannys is the place to come where you always feel like family. I have always looked forward to Fridays because they have my favorite special - crab cake Mac and cheese! Perfect amount of cheese, and the crab cake is the perfect size. It's definitely comforting after a long work week, so I highly recommend giving it a try to those who love seafood as well as Mac and cheese. My husband loves their Cuban paninis. Going here for breakfast is also an extra special treat. My husband loves his Taylor ham on a breakfast platter, and I love their eggs Benedict. The array of desserts they also have is tempting. I always came here for my chocolate milkshakes when my pregnancy cravings took over, and always found myself wanting more than just a shake. Their blueberry pie was superb! Nice buttery crust and lots of fresh blueberries. This is the diner to venture to for some good food, a nice drink, date night, whatever you're looking for. The manager, Maria, is also a sweetheart and goes above and beyond to assure everything is perfect for you. read more

I have always loved going to Mannys Diner. I haven't been in a month or two and the first thing I noticed was the menu change. I was assured that everything else remained the same. Yesterday I went for lunch and had a turkey burger. The burger was dry and had a tangy/sour like flavor which I assumed was the spices that were added. it wasn't very tasty. We did not get utensils and napkins till after the meal came despite asking several times. Today I went back for lunch again with another friend. I ordered a hamburger cooked medium. The burger came charred/dry and well done. The sides of tomato, lettuce and coleslaw did not come. I had to ask and then only the tomato and lettuce came without the pickles and coleslaw. The waitress was polite but I have to say that definitely more than the menu has changed. I won't be going back any time soon. read more

Hi wife & myself we are regular customers for years we been noticing the changed in Menu , the food , prices increased. Not very happy with the panini bread .

Manny's Diner - Steak & egg Burrito served room temp . - Diners Near Me - Clark, New Jersey

Hey hey Adventureres! Came here on a Sunday evening with a guy friend. Ordered a few bloody mary's and the Firecracker Shrimp & Calamari(really good). When we sat down the chair was wobble, I told him to switch but he felt comfortable with it. Spent a few hours in our own little world (we had ubered there). minding our own business, not loud or rowdy, just enjoying ourselves. My friend got up to go use the restroom (we were getting ready to leave), and must have tripped on the wobble chair or got caught up with his jacket since the bar filled up. But all of a sudden I heard people exclaim that he fell and was knocked out. I was facing the bar trying to find the bartender for the check so I did not see exactly what happened. EMT'S were called and like 3 cop cars showed up. So to preface this when the first officer showed up he seemed really aggressive. I may have been emotional and tipsy but I was worried about my friend who happened to be brown and an aggressive cop(I did not feel safe around this officer), because all I heard was someone saying an unconscious male. Nowhere in the statement was accident used. The officer even said to me 'I can't talk to you because you're being combative(he walked away)--again I was bewildered by seeing my friend KO'ed completely but as an officer, you need to deal with all kinds of people not just dismiss them. But what really got me was on top of everything that was going on the bartender--who we had no issues with while dining/drinking--started tossing off comments about how terrible I was arguing with an officer and other off-handed comments that even the manager kept telling her to leave the room. Her last words were never come here to drink again---sure as heck you bet I'm not. If you attack your patrons for an accident on the premises then no way would I go back. They're pretty lucky a lawsuit wasn't brought up due to him having a staple in his head afterward. The manager even apologized, and I even tried paying our tab, I apologized profusely(he wouldn't let me pay) and had to grab a ride with the sergeant because the EMT's just left without letting me know where my friend was taken. With all this being said, I'd still recommend this for the cute outdoor patio where we sat because of the ambiance. I suppose the staff aside from the really rude bartender. It sucks I can't go back but it's a cute place and would probably be even cuter during summer if that patio opens the garage-style roof and doors. read more

Manny's is a family favorite! While the old menu was great, it was pretty much the same as every other Diner. The new one is definitely an upgrade! The service has never failed us. If you like Baklava, try the Baklava cheesecake! We'll certainly be trying our way through this updated menu. read more

My boyfriend and I used to LOVE Manny's Diner. We would go maybe once a week. We just recently went back and we were highly disappointed. The menu prices have shot up, the food has changed for the worse, and the service was slow (for not even being busy). This place used to be PACKED, but it seems like business is slowing down since all of their changes. I don't think my boyfriend and I will be returning, the $75 we paid for breakfast was absolutely not worth it. Really disappointing. read more

My friends are regulars at Manny's and I wanted to try something new, to me. I must first apologize, I neglected to snap a picture but there are pictures here from other reviews. Anyway, Manny's food was perfect. The coffee flowed and was a nice full flavor. My test meal, 2 eggs over easy well done bacon and hash browns. Did I mention coffee? And Rye toast. Perfect. The staff were great and really stayed on top of us. The realized we were discussing something important and folks serving us were attentive and professional and nice. Manny's is a wonderfully traditional diner. Breakfast was obvious but I could see a nice family celebration in Manny's lovely dining areas. Very clean and well laid out so the staff moved smoothly all through the meal. I'm happy to say I'll be back and post pictures read more

I've consistently been to Manny's for many years, and on my last visit, which was about a week ago, I learned the menu had changed. It's been significantly reduced, and with some favorites now missing, I kept an open mind and tried the chicken and waffles. They were delicious, and the portion was sufficient, but my mom, who ordered a burger, was very disappointed with her portion. Her burger was tasty, but the size of it was considerably smaller than on previous occasions. Her burger came with fries, but they're now served in a silver cup, which made the plate look skimpy and unappetizing. The fries were small and overcooked compared to how they used to be. We definitely missed the big portion we were expecting, and delicious steak fries that spanned the plate, which guaranteed you'd take some home for leftovers. We ordered a side of onion rings to try them, and the wait staff forgot the sauce that was supposed to come with them, so I had to ask. I understand if you're still learning the menu, but they looked at me like I was crazy for requesting the sauce that the menu mentioned came with them. For a diner, the menu changes are over the top with prices to match. Our visit was so expensive, and it wasn't worth it for the meals we had. It's unfortunate because this diner was always a convenient, guaranteed delicious dinner when we weren't sure what we wanted to eat, and we always left satisfied. Not this time. I'm in no rush to go back. read more

Really great local spot I tried with hubby. We had a light lunch and the atmosphere and food were great! We had the grilled chicken wrap with curly fries and grilled cheese with tomato. Great service and nice little casual restaurant ! read more

I have loved Mannys for years. I got take out at least twice a week or more. Recently the quality has changed. Menu changes have continued to remove multiple favorites . Friends and family also dont consider it a great place. Food is average now and very expensive. Unfortunately we are going to other different real diners and local places now. I really miss the old Mannys. Turkey dinners, chicken croquettes, corn beef every Thursday night, lemon meringue pie without cake in the middle. pork chop milinase, real diner fries.... read more

You walk in and you ate immediately greeted and made feel welcome by the great staff. The place is bigger than it seems from outside. Now the food. I loved my stuffed jumbo shrimp with brown rice. It come with green beans but I asked for none. Do I wish the stuffing had more crab? Yes, but it tastes great so I didn't take away a star. My wife's panini was huge and she loved it. read more

Looked like a nice place to sit and have a good meal with some friends after attending an event. Seeing the crowded parking lot usually is a good sign that the food was good. Was told there would be a bit of a wait, understandable. After 10 minutes we were seated and 5 minutes later our server came and took our order. Waited maybe 8 minutes for our beverages and total wait time for food was 26 minutes. The diner was holding a private event at the same time so that added to the busy. We received our food. Cheeseburger platter, omelette, chicken tenders with tea, coffee and tap beer. Now comes the reason for the rating. Even though it is busy, have to make sure the food is served hot. My burger and fries were warm, same for the chicken tenders and the omelette and potatoes were cold. Too hungry to send back. Plus, the toast was missing from the omelette platter. The only items that were on point was the beverages. Final point, even though it was busy, always check on your tables to make sure everything and everyone was satisfied. Only time we saw our server was when we got the food and refill then the bill. Trying to get their attention was challenging. Not the diner experience we had expected. Sorry guys, you have to do better!!!! read more

The food portions were generous, delish for a great price. Our waiter Andres was so nice, attentive and was very friendly! The ambiance was very nice, and they even had a Bar! Highly recommend and MUST to go back to try to the desserts but, ate to much to try this time :( read more

Came here with a large group. Keep in mind, if you make reservations for a party of 8 or larger, they will hold your card for $50 until you arrive and apply that to your bill (or refund you). The food was good, I didn't drink but my friends enjoyed the cocktails. I liked my French onion burger but was surprised it didn't come with lettuce and tomato. The curly fries were very good though. My friend got the platter with eggs, French toast, bacon and asked for extra crispy potatoes which we always take as 50/50 whether it happens (it didn't this time so they were only okay). The staff was nice and friendly. read more

I just love diners cause it gives you options and the space to chat with friends over periods of time. This diner was pretty big and still was busy when my friend and I walked in. Although food wise, it was a solid three, nothing crazy... Due to the service, I believe it was a four. We got the following items: French Onion Soup - I've been looking for a good one and I'd say theirs was pretty solid as they used Gruyère cheese to flavor their cheese topping instead of cheating out by using mozzarella like most places do. Shrimp Scampi - the pasta was al dente like I asked for but wasn't delicious. The sauce was too buttery which gave it a more greasy feeling. Wish it was a little more liquidy but the shrimp was a good size and portion. Linguine w/ Clam Sauce - I liked this dish better. Fudge Cake - I don't have much of the sweet tooth but it was definitely a rich fudge but the cake itself was pretty dry. I could have done without. I was surprised though that the pasta did not come with some bread. It would have been great to dip bread into some of that tomato clam sauce!! Each pasta comes with either soup or salad. We substituted ours for the onion soup for a couple extra bucks! read more

If you've been following my Yelp reviews, you'll know--much to my girlfriend's chagrin--I've always had a soft spot for local diners. After recently moving to Plainfield, I found myself missing one of my all-time favorites: the Edison Diner, a place I've been loyal to for years. A few weeks ago, I was all set to make the 30-minute drive back to Edison when I thought, there's got to be a good local diner nearby. I tried a few spots, but none quite lived up to the high standards I'd grown used to. Then I came across Manny's Diner. The reviews were decent, and it was just a short drive away--worth a shot. From my first visit, I was pleasantly surprised. While the ambiance isn't your classic diner feel, it was warm and inviting. I ordered the homemade chicken noodle soup, which was so good I immediately regretted not getting a full bowl. For my main course, I went with the chicken francaise platter--perfectly battered in a light egg coating and served with a zesty lemon sauce. Absolutely top-notch. The food was so good, I had to go back--and my second visit didn't disappoint. This time I had the chicken noodle soup again (in a bowl this time!), along with the sampler appetizer and a French dip sandwich. Everything was delicious and high quality. I also tried their spicy pineapple margarita--flavorful and very reasonably priced. To finish off the night, my girlfriend and I shared a banana split, which was the perfect sweet ending. The staff here is incredibly friendly, making the experience even better. Manny's Diner is now two for two--and officially on my list of go-to spots. Highly recommended. read more

Nice spot to grab breakfast or lunch in a casual atmosphere. Good for families or business and they have a beautiful outside area with a bar great for parties or business meetings or just to grab a drink and appetizer. Super casual and very attentive staff.

Needed a place for my mom's repast. I called and spoke with Maria who was very sympathetic and guided me through the process. Since it would not be a large gathering, she suggested each person choose from the menu. What a fabulous suggestion! Some folks got breakfast and others lunch. Elizabeth was our server and did a great job. They gave us a private, comfortable room which made the event extra special. We were not rushed and had time to gather with family and friends. read more

Tuesday night...gathering of 13 of us in separate room. Treated like royalty. Same excellent waiter...we do this quarterly. I had wasubi steak salad. Delicious. Generous portions. Waiter and two other people came and came and served us. Manager of the establishment made an appearance and was very kind. I would recommend this diner which is more than a diner experience. They make sure that all of us are treated well. The food is better than average. All of their salads are excellent. read more

Pretty good Diner option in Clark, easily accessible from the GSP. Food was tasty with large portions, and prices were reasonable. I ordered a reuben which is a fairly standard order for me, and thought that it was solid. Too much cheese for my liking, but I just ripped a bunch off. And came with a generous portion of fries. They do give you the option of corned beef or pastrami, which was nice. I've driven past this place a bunch of times and it always seems quite busy. Was prepared to wait on a Friday night, but because its so big was able to park quickly, and get seated right away. Service is friendly. read more

Never never again!! Was here long ago and had cr@p service but decided to try again and it's not better. I got a simple matzah ball soup for close to $7 and it was a sad joke! 1 1.5 inch matzah ball in a container with broth, that's it, AND they didn't properly close the container so when I got to my car 1/4 of it spilled out. These people have an attitude and I'm done!!! Buyer beware! I will NEVER EVER come back again!!! read more
