It feels like a hole in the wall, but at the same time is actually very clean and thoughtfully decorated. I loved all of the pictures of old fashioned movie stars on the wall, and much preferred this ambiance to any of my local diners. Our server was a young man who we later found out was the grandson of the owners, who were sitting right at the counter table. It made Marilyn's even more charming to know that it really is just a mom-and-pop that an entire family rallys to takes great pride in. I was really excited to see cheese blintz on the menu, as this is one of my favorites but is not so common! I ordered this, along with a side of bacon, and a decaf coffee. My blintz was excellent and came loaded with fresh fruits and sour cream. It was better than the blintzes I used to order from my favorite Ukranian restaurant in NYC. The bacon was cooked perfectly (crispy!) and my coffee was awesome. I will definitely be returning to bring my husband. I am only knocking off one star (it hurts to do this because I really loved my food and experience here) because they only offer bottled water, they are cash only, and the bathroom was very VERY cramped. Otherwise this would've been a five star review!

The porchetta sandwich was flavorful, though I personally found a few pieces a bit fatty with some skin, which wasn't my preference. The biscuits and cornbread on the other hand were fantastic! I also loved the cozy setup inside and the fun idea of having games to play while you dine. The staff was friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better! 4.5!

The Godfather is an absolutely great breakfast sandwich with the twist of chorizo instead of sausage that steps up the whole sandwich. The broke Millennial had excellent fresh avocado and the brioche bun was very fresh. As for the G.O.A.T., I didn't know that I was missing goat cheese from my breakfast. It's really a nice brush of creamy and salty. I really liked the pickles onions too. All the bread was fresh and crispy and/or soft as it should be. The service was really fast and friendly. I never felt in a rush, even close to closing time. Surrounding were comfortable with a lot of metal and wood. It kind of feels like a cross between an old farmhouse and a soda fountain with some really nice modern touches. I will be back for sure.

The place is small so there maybe a little bit of a wait depending on when you go. Staff was very swift, which I get because they need to get customers in and out to decrease wait time. So if you are looking for a place to talk with a friend after your table is cleanered off, this may not be the place for you. However, if you are looking grab a quick bite and coffee, tea, etc then you have hit the jackpot. My hot chocolate was super cute and my food was decent. I would return if ever in the area again.

The omelette was very tasty and a solid portion size. The pancakes were very fluffy and soft, and they smelled so good in the car I knew they were going to be great.

Also it's on Main Street so it does not have a separate parking area but there is a lot of parking on the street.

My husband loves their meatloaf dinner. We also really enjoy their soups (lentil and split pea in particular), which I think is an important diner touchstone. I frequently bring home a quart of it to have during the week! They don't automatically give you pickles and coleslaw, but if you ask for them, they are happy to give them to you. They are the sweetest diner owners and have done a great job renewing this diner in the quaint heart of Morris Plains!
