This is one of my favorite spots to get a sandwich. There is nothing fancy about an egg salad sandwich, but if that's what you feel like then this is the place to go. It's first in its class in the breakfast/lunch cafe category. All the salads are homemade and really hit the spot. I often get the Greek salad pita when I feel like being healthy - they have lots of other pita sandwiches as well. Actually they have tons of different kinds of sandwiches - wraps, pitas, clubs etc. They have a juicy flavorful burger - I had the California burger and as another review said there is none better especially at the price. It's 8 oz. and you would easily pay double at a fancier spot. No foie gras or fig jam on the burger but that's fine with me. The cafe is in the Millington train station so you get to watch trains and commuters if that's your thing. It's decor is appropriately train centric with pictures from the past that are interesting. Good atmosphere. It's like taking a time trip to another era, especially given it's not on the beaten path. The drive through semi-rural southern Morris is always nice. I thought of giving four stars because they do use plastic plates and utensils but I'll be fair and rate it just on the food because I suspect they have limited work space - it's a small train station. Something to work on though.... It's good for kids too. They have stuff children can play with and a kids menu that has more than just chicken fingers. read more

Such a cute spot next to the train station! We enjoyed having a quick, delicious meal and the staff were kind and courteous. Definitely "no frills," but hit the spot. Of note, this restaurant does not take Amex, but accepts other forms of payment. read more

Great service(the people there are very sweet), good food, and you get to see actual trains pull into the station! How great is that! And the entire station is decorated with collectable photos of the history of the station(although I doubt the Jesse James wanted poster is legit). For a fun meal, things to look at as you wait, punch your ticket to the Millington Station Cafe. read more

The food was amazing!! I loved the look of it all and much more. The service was great and she was very kind and great! The place was great and vintage! It was a little vintage cafe turned from a train station! Over all it was just great I loved it all!! read more

Cutest no frills breakfast spot to take kiddos. Food comes out super fast and it's very kid friendly

Food was good. Service was good. It's small and only does breakfast and lunch but it was just enough for what we were looking for.

Loved this little diner. I had the turkey special and it was delicious. My kids had the pancakes, they loved them as well. Service was great as was the location read more

Super quaint with great food!! I was looking anywhere and everywhere for pancakes and I'm happy that we stumbled upon this spot since another place had over an hour wait. The syrup is prepackaged BUT you don't miss the real stuff once you try the pancakes. The hash browns are made well and are so flavorful, you'd think they were home made. The butter is also served room temperature so it's super spreadable and easy to handle. And lastly the bacon is generous when you include it with your food. Basically it tastes like breakfast at grandma's. The decor was so cute and it's such a great little breakfast nook with very good service. Not too far from Morristown when you're looking for some casual jersey dining. I will definitely be back! read more

I believe i was oversold on the Station Cafe by the reviews posted on Yelp. The restaurant indoors is nice but too chilly so we ordered then moved outdoors where the tables are adjacent to the train tracks. The atmosphere is conducive for kids but adults probably prefer that the train not cross their path. The food is fine but the quality to similar to a diner. The omelet I ordered is best described as a mess of eggs and vegetables swished together on a flat top. I prefer the more classical eggs enveloping the filings. In the end, the restaurant is fine, the staff are hustling, and we only tried egg dishes. I hope there are standout items on the menu that resonate with diners. For us, the next time I search for a breakfast place in the area, I will probably try somewhere else. Filter through the Yelp reviews; if they are consistently high praise probably best to try the second choice instead. read more

The food is not going to be top shelf, basic at best. The service is excellent. The ambiance is great during the summer months because of the location....something about trains pulling up makes this place feel nostalgic! read more

Small place with traditional diner feel and fast, friendly service. Took my mom here for breakfast. Quiet enough where we could enjoy a good chat. read more

We came here this morning for breakfast and had a delicious meal. Two omelettes - western with cheese and sausage, peppers and onion omelettes and a side of bacon. Great portions and even better service! Daniel brought over our coffees before we finished reading the menus and Lisa took our orders and served us promptly. Great service, cute environment, and delicious breakfast! Definitely grab some breakfast here to start your day! read more

Came here with my father-in-law. The staff is sweet and it has a "mom-n-pops" feel to it. Some people were here for brunch and seemed disappointed at the styrofoam plates and plastic forks. I liked it because the food tasted like it was made at home. Only taking a star off because they need to rearrange their seating to accommodate busy weekends. read more

Small cafe located at the Millington train station. Food here is always great. Typical diner options but much better than any other breakfast food nearby. Eggs are always perfectly cooked- although would note that they don't serve poached eggs for some reason... Pancakes are delicious and so fluffy! Coffee is great too. Would love to give this place 5 stars but I hate that they serve everything on styrofoam plates! I get that a lot of people might take their food to-go but even paper or cardboard would be much more eco-friendly than styrofoam. Other than that food is a must if you're in the area and looking for a quick breakfast. read more

Like stepping back in time 40 years, in a good way. Adorable little cafe with great lunch basics that have all been delicious, served by a friendly staff. They even have gluten-free wraps. I can't wait to come back for breakfast and coffee. It's like you're on the set of The Gilmore Girls. read more

Cosy space with good food. Pancakes could be a bit softer. Besides that, highly recommend.

Love this cute little cafe! Kids have trains to play with. I usually get a salad. Today was the Greek salad! Fresh greens, yummy gyro meat and a soft pita...worth the trip! read more

got breakfast here, simply was not very good :( i feel bad for saying so but it was also kinda pricey (not sure if maybe its standard for the area--i'll give it that) so i feel like i must :(. it's in a train station thats kinda cute, a lot of kids were there when i went so i think that is a nice vibe :) read more

An absolute jewel in the rough. There's a diner in nearly every square mile in NJ, and many of them are interchangeable with one another. This one -- a cafe and train station all in one, serving breakfast and lunch -- is a real delight. Prices are very reasonable, all of the food we've ordered has been excellent, and the owners and staff are delightful. The kids think the pancakes are the best around! read more

We have eaten our lunch outdoors at this pleasant restaurant. I usually have a "breakfast" meal. The eggs and bacon are always good.

Drove out to this beautiful part of New Jersey to drop off an ailing baby bird at the Raptor Trust and discovered this gem of a diner. Situated at the 100 year old train depot, it features not only original wooden fixtures walls and the like, but the friendliest staff and BEST diner food you could conjure up. Had a western omelet which was absolutely enormous! Good hot coffee too. What an absolute treat....worth the drive!!! read more

A great breakfast & lunch spot to take the family. The entire staff is extremely friendly and kind. This is the perfect place to bring your little ones. The waitresses are attentive and the food comes out quickly. I really enjoy their breakfast sandwiches however their hamburgers are really something special. I can not stress this enough, without hesitation I would rate their hamburgers as some of the best in the area (French fries are excellent as well). You will not be disappointed! read more

Always super friendly staff, been going here my whole life. Great for kids, many toys to keep them occupied when seated at the table, along with a great historic atmosphere. read more

This was once a real train station. The train still stops at Millington Station and it's a great place to grab something to eat before catching the train. You won't find anything fancy here and the food is served with disposable utensils and plates. They only serve breakfast and lunch. Kids love it because they provide a lot of little toys for them to play with.The food is always tasty, fresh, and hot. Their blueberry pancakes are the best! Real blueberries cooked inside and not just thrown on top. The coffee is so delicious. For lunch I normally will get a burger which are nice and thick. I've been coming here for 20 years and always enjoy my meals. read more

A quaint, cozy café located in a restored train station located in downtown Millington. You can't go wrong visiting the Millington Cafe for a quick bite. From breakfast items to burgers everything is consistently good and always delicious. This is a great family restaurant to visit for breakfast or lunch. The employees and owner have great attitudes and make for a more enjoyable meal. read more

A small casual cafe attached to a train station. Breakfast and lunch and the best part is going there between the rush hours for a quiet sit down meal, and perhaps a meeting, with someone coming in from the city instead of making the trek out. Service is awesome and there is a lot to look around and see in the place that has the true feel of elegant accumulation over a long period of time. read more

Excellent service, excellent food, oozing with charm. An authentic slice of the United States that you often don't find nowadays.

I love this spot it's a functioning railway station with amazing food. I had the burger which was cooked perfectly with a beautifully toasted brioche bun fries were light and crispy. Service was outstanding Susie was friendly and had everything we needed. We definitely will be coming back! read more

I've been a customer of the cafe since I was a little girl-and pleased to say that the quality of the food and service have been unwaveringly top notch since then. It is such a hidden gem; cozy and cute on the inside with ample outdoor seating for the summer months. They are absolutely kid friendly; providing little toys, coloring books and lollipops which delight my 5 year old brother. The ladies are very accommodating and welcoming. Typically, there is only one guy running the ship in the kitchen which is why it's so impressive that the food ALWAYS comes out quickly. There are plenty of diverse breakfast/brunch/lunch options on the menu that are sure to please. The food never fails to arrive tasting fresh and cooked to perfection. I typically get the golden pancakes or sandwiches and my boyfriend raves about the omelettes. It's a pleasure to support this excellent local business! read more

Very quaint converted train station. Friendly staff, quick service and excellent broccoli, mushroom, swiss omelet.

Great family place for breakfast and lunch. My wife and I used to go before we had kids and now we bring the whole family. The kids love the toys, trains and books and it keeps them occupied while we are waiting for our food (which is never very long). The breakfasts and burgers are excellent and they are very accommodating to special needs and diets as well. Even a healthy choice menu for those strong enough to pass up real bacon for turkey bacon. Overall a great place with quality food and a nice vibe. And I love the old restored train station building too. read more

Good, flavorful food and great service! The outdoor seating is really nice and has lots of sunshine. Good for kids too - they provide crayons and coloring paper. read more

I was so excited to go here based on all of the positive reviews. Unfortunately we had a horrible experience. I am not really a fan of going to a diner/restaurant and being served my meal on styrofoam plates with plastic utensils, but we ordered our breakfasts anyway. However, both of our meals were inedible. I had an omelet with peppers and they tasted like they were canned and soaked in vinegar. read more

This is a fun little diner. Staff are very nice and very accommodating for our picky kids. My bacon cheeseburger was a nice thick patty on a soft brioche bun. And, not overcooked! It was nice and juicy. It's very casual, plastic silverware and styrofoam plates......just what we were hoping to find. read more
