Eggplant parm with linguini
Mylene T.

Nutley Diner is a hit or miss for me. Pros: Service is quick, plenty of parking, large menu and daily specials. Lobster bisque soup was good when they offer it on the menu. Cons: Food is ok nothing that I plan to order over and over again. What have I eaten here that I can remember: Eggplant Parm with linguini barely had any sauce and was bland. It came with a side salad and I really liked it with creamy Italian dressing. Meatloaf was ok and bland as well If I come to Nutley Diner, I'm going to just come for breakfast next time. No longer interested in dinner.

Menu
Nikko A.

Decided to try the Nutley diner for breakfast and it was GREAT. I got the New Yorker bowl with steak, eggs, home fries, mushrooms, peppers and onions. The bowl was super flavorful and delicious and I was really surprised by the quality of the steak. Our waitress was super nice and gave us super fast service. The menu was so awesome it was hard to choose what we wanted so we will be back!

Typical old school diner fair, what they have going for them is their great staff who are all very friendly.

Mexican Coffee
Robert C.

The Mexican Coffee was pleasant. Not enough to give a buzz but good nonetheless. The Fried Chicken Panini was good but lacked that spice that was stated in the menu. Breakfast panini was spot on. No complaints. The waiter was always prompt and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was quite comfy. Overall, definitely coming back.

Grilled Chicken & Avocado Club

The food came out very quickly and it tasted great. The waitress was very nice as well.

Deluxe Baja Turkey Burger (white meat)
Hayre D.

First time trying this diner. I have to say that while it was crowded for a Saturday afternoon, we were seated fairly quickly. The BIG win? The Baja Turkey Burger! I haven't been able to find a place that makes a turkey burger from breast meat. I definitely can't do a frozen, ground turkey patty. I saw a photo on Yelp but the waitress wasn't certain so she asked for clarification. It was delicious and so were the huge, buttery, crispy onion rings. Then, I looked over and saw they serve drinks! Nothing like a cold beer with a delicious burger. I had already ordered a root beer, so next time for sure. If you're looking for a juicy turkey burger made from breast (white) meat, check it out!

Ceasar Caesar Salad
Juliana P.

Order from here all the time the pasta and the chicken soup are my favorite, but I'm really disappointed in the Caesar salad because there was just way too much dressing!!! :(

Ordered delivery and they added an extra topping of hair to my panini. That was the end of my dinner.

Pastrami Sandwich , chicken noodle Large Soup , chocolate Traditional Milk Shake
Nina A.

Very crowded, service was a bit slow but nice staff... We loved the chocolate shake, chicken noodle soup, breakfast burrito and rice pudding. My boyfriend had the pastrami sandwich but said it was dry. A little pricy but good food.

Great food and vibes. The place was packed for a 2pm but always safe to find a seat at the bar. Got 2 eggs platter with chicken sausage and food was out in a few minutes. They are quick and they are good. Looking at the eggs I can tell they were going to be special lol. Home fries were seasoned more than other places and the chicken sausage was average. best part I had here is the coffee. I've had diner coffee all around and it is generally as bad as hospital coffee but the coffee here was great. Had a second cup. Service was great! Emma who helped me was very warm and attentive but not hovering. Def coming back here again

Italian Omelette
Norberto F.

I have to say that I am not the biggest fan of dinner's but this place is something else. Let just start with the fact that it's always packed. That for me is a good sign of the food and service that's about to come. Price is fair and the food is delicious. Nice and clean place where you can come with the family or friends for a good bite. I will definitely comeback to this place.

See all

We love this place. We recently found out about it because we saw a few social media videos talking…read moreabout their daily specials and new management which enticed us because we didn't know much about what they offered before. They have great happy hour specials and staff who are there to honor the deals and give you a fun experience. Nothing worse than walking into a bar because of an advertised deal and the bartender charging you full price because they didn't know anything about the deal. That doesn't happen here which is huge!!! They have multiple TVs and seating areas, which make it perfect for watching sports. Drinks are great and food is delicious. We love the chicken quesadilla and wings. The espresso martini was surprisingly good. We love their drink pitchers as well. Overall you can tell they care about the community, and want to offer a reliable and fun experience in an area that doesn't have too many bars like this. We have returned multiple times since the first time because we love the consistency, fun events, and friendly staff. The only thing they could improve on is the music. When there's a DJ, it's a great night, but when it's up to Touch Tunes there's room for improvement. We still will return whenever we are looking for a good time!

Food & drinks was good when me and my friends went on the weekdays. We tried to go on UFC night…read morebut the experience was meh. They had a DJ play music the whole fight card except for the last main match. I mean, they should just have him play between rounds or something. The pork sliders were cold too but the server was good and consistent throughout the night with cold beers.

The Brookdale 1099 Broad St…read more Bloomfield NJ 07003 The Big Cheese A member from my group page tipped me off about this location because I am currently working on a compilation reel about oversized menu items. This one pound mozzarella stick definitely fulfilled that criteria. It was so gigantic it was almost like getting a workout in just to lift it. The outside was heavily breaded with bread crumbs and the top was sprinkled with parmesan cheese and chopped scallions. Even the dipping cup was supersized to accommodate the diameter of the stick! Typically, I would have posted until after my I finished my oversized food compilation project. However, it's being posted early because The Brookdale is permanently closing its doors. I am truly sad to hear they will no longer be in business, but their three sister restaurants at 1109 Broad Street will still remain open. #thebrookdale #thebigcheese #bloomfieldnj

I ordered the big…read moremozz and a shrimp vodka pizza ; Both were real good but too much cheese for the two of us!!! Maybe a salad with the mozz stick woulda been better! Service was good and the restaurant with low lighting was a good vibe! Its split into a half bar and half dining area which i liked. Only complaint i can think of is they didnt have many options of beer on tap as they advertised on thier menu. Overall good experience would recommend!

Came here on a Friday with my boyfriend. We got Angelina as our server. She was my server the last…read moretime I ate at the restaurant. Angelina is very nice, friendly and courteous. If you get her as your server, it's a start to a pleasant and great meal. Angelina knows what she's talking about! One feedback would be to learn how to better time the serving of the foods. We got our soup and shrimp cocktail as starters but literally 3 minutes later, our entrees were served to the table. Our entrees got cold while we tried to finish our starters. Please look to have the servers better time the serving of entrees AFTER the starters are finished. I had the New England Clam Chowder and the Prime rib. The clam chowder was tasty but lacked clams. They added andouille sausage to the chowder to give it a nice tasty twist but this should not have taken away from the amount of clams expected in a clam chowder. Prime rib was a good thick cut. But served warm and almost at room temperature. Not exactly how I would like my prime rib. Shoe string fries were tasty. My boyfriend ordered the Clam Chowder and Shrimp Cocktail as starters, followed by Cajun Sea Pasta and a bunch of side dishes - southern Coke slaw, black beans and rice and the loaded baked potato. Shrimps in the shrimp cocktail was good sized shrimp topped with old bay seasoning. The pasta was seasoned just right, very tasty and delicious. Cole slaw was crunchy which meant the Cole slaw was freshly made and not sitting in the sauce for too long. Loaded baked potato was of good size and baked to the right softness. Black beans and rice was the only side dish that was a bit too salty but went great when mixed with the baked potato. Overall, we were impressed with Angelina's services, friendliness of the staff and quality of the foods.

I really wanted to give 4 or 5 stars, I think it has great potential to reach that. The home made…read moresalad dressings are phenomenal. the "Nonnas lasagna" was extremely burnt, so hard we could not cut it, it also lacked authentic flavor. The chicken tacos with rice and beans on the side were phenomenal! The Cesar salad was good but we did get served some browned romaine which i noticed half way through and couldn't finish eating it. I had the salmon and it has a fishy taste, it was also very small looked like 4-5oz. Although I asked for it well done, I did not expect it to be BURNT it was literally black like charred on the whole bottom and top. The wild rice/orzo chilled salad really lacked flavor and was quite the conundrum, I think this side should be improved or changed out completely. The roasted chicken with mashed potato's was excellent. Our server was very absent minded, although she circled and passed by she NEVER once stopped and checked in after serving the food to ask "how is everything?" so we didn't even get a chance to tell her about the burnt lasagna but fortunately the food runner and a different server did pass by us and checked on us ecause they saw us with our necks out looking for our server who had actually passed by us but didn't even look at us...I found it strange that for such a fine establishment the server had not been drained to check on the table 2-5 minutes after each course is served. We had a 3 course meal. A salad to start, followed by the chicken tacos and Nonna lasagna as a second appetizer, then our main dishes. Not once did she check on us after the food was served. I will return in a few months to see if there has been any improvement. The manager did take the lasagna off the bill after the busser brought the plate back. However the waitress never came or made any comments about it. She truly lacked hospitality, personality, and attention To details. I don't remember her name i don't think she Even provided it... the dessert menu also could be better being that there are other restaurants in the area with better dessert options. I think this place needs something good that makes it unique... maybe a story to tell by the server for first times guest or any suggestions etc.
