Milltown Diner is one of our staple locations for a classic, perfectly cooked-to-order breakfast. Their eggs always taste fresh, the bacon has the right amount of crunch, and we fell in love with the potato pancakes (so we get them every single time!) Prompt service, casual/no frills atmosphere - it feels like a local hometown diner where you know you're always going to be taken care of. read more

This small town diner can easily be missed. It shares an entrance with another business so the inside is rather small and outdated. However, it maintains a retro feel of a small hometown diner. The portions are rather larger and the price is right! I didn't care too much for the pancakes as they were dense and not light. The omelette I had was large and was okay. The food wasn't the best but it was edible. I would come back here if I lived in the area. read more

My husband and I have made it a yearly tradition to stop by here over Christmas time. We spend Christmas in Pennsylvania with my family and we travel to NY to visit my hubs' brother every year. And a few years ago we went looking for a diner, to avoid service area fast food, and get something fresh and diner-y.... the type of good old american comfort food place we don't have much of in California where we live. Milltown Diner did not disappoint with their huge plates and low prices -- the way it should be. This is a local spot serving their community with hearty food, and I appreciate that. Mainly, we each get an egg breakfast sandwich and a side of hashbrowns to share. Last year, we were going to get two sides of hashbrown and the waitress was kind enough to tell us that one is likely enough for us to share -- and she was right. It was massive! This is what I'm saying -- she didn't just give us the two sides to make extra $$ or anything. Just honest people making good food for the community. I love their hashbrowns too, Extra crispy with bits of onion in it which gives it an extra dimension. The egg sandwich is rather huge too. I got mine with ham and it was stacked with ham, with a fried egg and american cheese on a huge kaiser bun. It's awesome. So even though it's a couple miles off from the turnpike, it's so worth it for a stop. Everything we got would be double the price in California. Something about coming here that brings me down to Earth. See you next year, Milltown Diner! read more

We've passed by often, but finally decided to stop by for breakfast. It has a very small town feel where the locals come by often. I had pancakes and bacon and my husband had an omelet. Service was great. We felt welcomed and the food came out fast. Portions are large, and you get your moneys worth for sure. My pancakes were just ok. Very dense. The coffee however was pretty bad. It was bitter. Had a few sips and couldn't drink anymore. My husband enjoyed his omelette and potatoes. If we come back, I'll definitely try something other than pancakes. read more

Good food. HUGE PORTIONS. Good prices. Nice staff. We were visiting from the Carolinas and the waitress was so kind to us.

Food is delicious and very fresh. The prices are pretty good for the amount of food you get. Staff are also nice

This was the worst breakfast I've ever received from a restaurant. The $70 plus dollars spent was not worth the price for unseasoned food. No one in my family ate their breakfast such a waste of money. I will never order from this establishment again. First and last time! read more

Can't believe I've never been here. Tiny place in Milltown right on the street. Blink and you miss it. I had the special apple cinnamon pancakes and a side of bacon. Pancakes were massive and stuffed to the brim. Absolutely couldn't finish. I expected pancakes just filled with apples, but these were like omelette style with apple filling. Apples were a little mushy and no cinnamon taste. Still really good. Bacon was perfect. Cooked well. Husband had the French toast. Great as well. Service was great. Had to ask for my OJ but that's ok. Can't wait to go back and try more stuff. Hopefully raise the stars to a 5 because it has potential. read more

Milltown Diner - Diners Near Me - Milltown, New Jersey

We wanted to do food shopping and were looking for a place to eat. After reading the reviews, we decided to give this place a try. We were immediately seated after checking in. The diner is small and narrow, with the walls being a muted orange and the tables and floors being beige and dark brown. Canvases depicting food and diner-related pictures hang on one of the walls while a framed picture and a couple of flags hang on another. Miniature paper lanterns with the words "America the Beautiful" and "US" dangle from the ceiling along with miniature American flags. The counter also takes up a little less than half of the diner and a TV plays in the background for ambience. Daughter ordered the 2 eggs with corn beef hash and liked it a lot. She thought it was nice and crispy and that it was a nice change from soft corn beef hash. Hubs had the garden omelet, which is a 4-egg omelet and has mushrooms, tomato, peppers and onions). He liked that it was huge and the fact that he felt full after eating it. He hought it was a great omelette. Lastly, I had the loaded pancakes with bananas and 2 eggs. I loved that the pancakes were infused with bananas and thought it was nice and fluffy. It was delicious. Service was friendly and quick. Will definitely return when in the area to try other items on the menu! read more

Wish I'd known about this place years ago. Real old school luncheonette charm with a very extensive menu. Omelets are enormous and tasty. Really good coffee. Great service. Looking forward to a return visit. read more

This spot is AMAZING - very unassuming little spot. The coffee is so good (free refill) and they give you a lot of food for a great price. I got the chicken fajita omelet which was great and flavorful- my favorite are the home fries, they are extra crispy and cooked to perfection!! Such a great spot for any time of day read more

In town on business with my son and stumbled across this jewel. Semi friendly waitress, great food, quick delivery....everything I want!! Came two days in a row, highly recommend the home fries and the 2 egg sandwich on a roll. Wish I could lift this place back home and put it in my neighborhood. No hipster nonsense, just quality! read more

Great value and tastey food in a friendly atmosphere. Catering menu is also available.

Okay food, nothing too special. I have been going here quite a bit and never had anything terribly inedible. Service is okay, slightly lackluster, but they have nice portions and plenty of specials for everybody. Prices are what you would expect for a diner so for that I have no complaints. To park you have to park across the street as there is no real parking for the business. But otherwise this place works fine for a quick breakfast or lunch. read more

We were greeted by a friendly, raspy voiced Mets fan. We sat in the window seat of this small town street diner. We order Manhattan Clam chowder. It was delicious, homemade, thick and rich soup that literally had a little neck clam in every bite!!! The cook/owner delivered our sandwich- cool! Large portion of fresh sliced warm turkey breast, thick sliced bacon with tomato and lettuce on toasted 7 grain bread. We were just passing through and are glad we stopped in! read more

Man, what happened here. I ordered online and omelets weren't an option. I ended up with an omelet wrap with super dry eggs. The home fries were nice and crispy and the breakfast sausage were good, but that wrap sucked. I ordered lunch too and it was all bad. I think this is the first burger deluxe I've ever ordered from a NJ diner that didn't come with lettuce tomato and onion. The also closed the bun on the cheeseburger, sealing that shut and preventing me from adding anything without destroying the top bun. Thanks. Burger itself was about what you expect from a diner burger, which is why it would have been nice to be able to get in there and help it out. Onion rings were all generic size and shape like burger king. Avoid those at all cost. Just a shame what I got vs. how I remember this place. read more

Upping my review to four stars. Just a small, hometown diner that caters to a local clientele. Nothing fancy. The portions are generous and the food is very satisfying. Great place for brunch. It's a nice change from the large chain breakfast places. I've had the omelettes the last couple times and each time they were hearty with lots of filling. Today I had the garden omelette, and I really enjoyed it. read more

Always a really delicious and hearty meal! Service is fast and welcoming with returners being greeted with a worm smile and sometime by name.. (This staff is very committed to the place - you don't see turnover here.) The decor is functional but cheerful. They also offer counter service if you'd like to eat solo and/or to chat with other local. Try for the window seat if you can, so you can get a view of downtown. read more

Truly great experiences every visit. Have nbcsn to check out soccer matches as well Thank you milltown diner read more

Food was amazing! Small business vibes which I love. Got the French toast and it was magnificent!

Not too shabby. Garden salad was decently fresh and good portion. Everything was really well priced. I had the southern panini which was large enough for leftovers. The bread was a little but hard IMO but it was pretty good and a little greasy. The potato pancakes are pretty good - haven't had them cooked quite like this before. read more

When Cray Café was closed earlier this week, I went searching for another place for breakfast in the Milltown vicinity. Yelp pointed out the Milltown Diner just around the corner on Main Street. One door is locked, another one has a Welcome sign hanging from it. So it goes. This is a small joint, with about ten booths and tables, and a counter with an equal number of spinners. I sat there to get an overview, although as the only customer, I had my choice of seating. Discovering they had no muffins available, I ordered their French Toast and Coffee. The java arrived first in a mug with a stainless pitcher of milk on the side. Gratitude for the leche which I prefer over half and half. It was strong, but flavorful and did the trick. The FT were three thick slices, grilled to a golden brown with a pitcher of syrup and frozen butter patty on the side. It was decent, although lacking the vanilla and sugar added to the egg mix that brings out the flavor and caramelization I desire on my grilled breads. The owner was present and provided a history of his 6.5 years here, and the 80 years that came before his arrival. Seems like a nice little place. Limited parking in front or around the corner. read more

This place is an absolute gem! Had a perfectly cooked bacon cheeseburger last week - the best I have had in a while. Accompanied by sweet potato fries which were crispy and flavorful. I hate cole slaw but it looked so good I had to try it, put it on the burger and l was hooked! Tonight I had the Italian breakfast panini and I look forward to ordering it again as it was outstanding! read more

I replaced sausage with chicken on a wrap and it went from $8.50 to $16.50. I understand up charging but double is ridiculous when other wraps have chicken and is still 8.50. read more

I really did not like this place! The outside is unwelcoming, as it has a take-out restaurant-like outside. The inside is run down, cramped, and very old, even though this place has only been here for a decade! The service was quick, but I found the staff not really that friendly, and not happy to work at the diner, when it is a family business! I got an omelet with cheddar cheese, and onions! The onions tasted under cooked, and the eggs to me were very dry! They do give big portions, though! The potatoes that came on the side were very good. They were really nice and crispy! The chocolate milk that I got to drink tasted very watery, and not chocolatey at all! I was very disappointed in this diner! read more

Was going to be in the North Brunswick area and did a quick online search for local diners and Milltown Diner came up with great reviews. My Dad and I were NOT disappointed. First of all as we were walking into restaurant we passed a few customers - every single one greeted us with a hearty GOOD MORNING! I though WOW so friendly and the friendliness continued right until we sat down. One of the employees came over quickly, gave us our menus and took our beverage orders. Within 5 minutes our waitress came over and answered questions and took our order - again SUPER friendly and Cheerful!! Our food, a Cheese Omelet with fried potatoes and French Toast with crispy bacon came out within 10 minutes and piping hot - everything cooked to perfection. Our waitress came by twice to check on us. We had looked around to what others ordered and not only our meals but everyone around us had large portions - my Dad leaned over and said "this is our new breakfast/lunch place" it really was good and reasonable. Not much parking right in front of place - but there is parking across street. A not so hidden gem in a quant little town. read more

Great food and service. The portions are huge and doggie bags are the norm. The staff are very friendly, it's always a pleasure to be there.

Small Town, Small Diner, Short Review. I've came here several times and got standard issue burgers with fries as well as some breakfast items. Everything is reasonably priced and well prepared. Never got a portion that didn't leave me full and satisfied. Very limited hours is what actually prevents me from coming here more often. It might be a little rough around the edges, but it'll do. I'll definitely return and maybe try some sort of special. read more

The Milltown diner is an excellent place to go if you are looking for an intimate, local breakfast or lunch spot. The restaurant was mostly full, but there was no line for a table for 5. The service was great, and despite the fact that there were only two waiters in the entire restaurant, our food came on time and I never had to pull the waiters aside for a glass of water for example. The food came in hearty portions. I ordered a French toast and got three large pieces of delicious Doughy bread, prepared to perfection. Even though I was hungry coming in, I was not able to finish my hefty meal. This is a great quick place to stop by if you happen to be passing by, and if I am ever in the area once again, I will make sure to enjoy another meal at Milltown diner. read more

I just had breakfast at the Milltown Diner. Personally I wouldn't call it a diner. It's a nice very hometown cafe. Although I'm not a Red Sox fan I was happy to see Sox and Giants paraphernalia adorning the place not the Yankees. We arrived a little late for breakfast and early for lunch so they weren't busy. My wife and I sat at the counter so we could watch a little of CNN on the TV. I ordered scrambled soft with bacon, home fries and rye toast. My wife ordered a spinach, mushroom and onion omelette. The size of the portions were crazy. I didn't count but had at least 7 pieces of bacon,3 eggs and a huge portion of potatoes. I didn't finish the plate. Everything came out of the kitchen cooked perfect. The cook obviously cares! This place isn't fancy but it's clean and has a great breakfast. The breakfast menu is extensive. They are only open Friday till 7 for a variety of fish dinners, breakfast and lunch the other days. This is my kind of place all the way. I have to try it for lunch and fish read more
