    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.

    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.

    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.

    Horrible food, group of 5 and no one liked their food. Save yourself the money and go to a restaurant on Franklin Ave like Luna.

    Folks what's going on!!! Been a while since I left a review and here's my latest...... I was…read moreexcited about this place, big building, bright lights, great picture on the side of the building representing the brand! You have to pay for your parking which isn't an issue cheap and clean parking lot. We made a reservation on the phone for 9pm. As we walked in we were greeted by a very nice young lady. Looking around they have 3 floors, the first is a bar/lounge. The 2nd is where restrooms are and the 3rd is the rooftop! It was a beautiful night so we were in the rooftop, they had a dj ( he was playing all the latest and greatest music) we were quickly seated and asked about drinks and appetizers. So folks there was 2 hiccups during our Visit BUT I will say this ( the STAFF and Manager exceeded our expectations while dealing with one of the issues. So the first issue was I explained to the waiter I'm a Diabetic and I am Allergic to Seafood. I said " please Diet Coke and sparkling water" so I can drink it with my whiskey . The wife had several different tequilas . We waited for our appetizers, within 10 minutes my fish tacos came out I looked at the food and asked my " is this fish???" She said "yes" so I ate 1 it looked like a chicken strip but the 2 nd one was 2 piece and I asked my wife are you sure she said " yes" I took a bite and ate half of it. I looked down and seen something orange I broke open the food and I said " this is shrimp !!?!?!" I then called the waiter called the manager and sent my wife across the street to Walgreens for Benadryl. Folks I afraid for my life!!! It was my wife's birthday and here we are about to run to the hospital ‍! But the manager and waiter were excellent!!! Kept checking on me making sure I was ok and thankfully I was!!! Next we started eating our appetizers and it started raining so we waited around by the bar had some more drinks. They came to us and told us we can go downstairs to eat and enjoy the evening and we did!!!! The DJ started doing his thing and we started really enjoying ourselves! Folks I recommended this place without a doubt!!!! They are considerate, empathetic, understanding and best of all Concerned" about their customers health and wellbeing! Then to top it off they gave us a 50% discount!!!!!!!! We were so happy about this I left the waiter a $63 tip'!!!!

    I came here for Valentine's Day. It was packed at 9PM! I waited in the bar because their tables…read morewere booked. They had a DJ with great music, and lights. The only thing I didn't like is that we were told we could only order from their Valentine's Day menu and not the regular menu. Their special menu had limited food choices. Other than that everything was great! Their picante guac was amazing and fresh- also loved the guava marg!

Place gets packed despite the many tables. Service was amazing, food was great (slightly higher prices than others, but the quality execution and quantity balanced it out). We had cornbread (very good), fries (was fine), chicken parm with pasta (we asked for vodka sauce which they accommodated for small charge), fried chicken (must have), churrasco steak breakfast and turkey club. No false notes that we could tell. Some standouts were mashed potatoes (really good), cornbread (toasted and slight sweet, with strawberry butter which was wild), whole wheat bread toasted (it was good I tell you) and fried chicken (it will haunt me in my hungry moments). Didn't think a diner would impact me as much, but they over delivered. Go, but make a reservation unless you want to wait.

    READ FULL REVIEW!!!…read more March 2026: First time at this establishment was just ok. Hosted a very small get-together here (5 guest). Atmosphere was nice. Music was wayy too loud to hear the person you're sitting next to. Food was tasty and fresh. Coffee was good with great creamer selection (at the time). Our server was my least favorite part of this experience. He was over the top with his energy and upscale tactics (pushy with getting us to order extra drinks and appetizers despite declining). I was hosting this event and did not need him selling us after already being told "no, thank you" twice. It was awkward and ultimately changed the vibe. He hardly checked on us after that encounter and we constantly had to remind them about request that were never brought out to the table. Staff needs to be trained better. This was just an ok experience. April 2026 : What ultimately lead me to write this review was my 2nd experience at this diner. The server was a lot better than our first experience, but we did run into a few too many problems. First, we ordered coffee and are informed that per managements request, we can only have half-half or cream with our coffee. Previously they had French vanilla creamers and other flavored creamers but I guess management decided to save on the additional cost. This was a bummer especially realizing that they could easily afford creamers. This restaurant easily pulls at least $150,000 per week in revenue, so I didn't understand cheapening out like that. I still ordered the coffee. When it came to the table I added the cream into the cup only to find something floating in the coffee. I send it back and ask for a new cup, which the server politely provided. We order our meals and all goes well. Eventually two of the three meals come out and we wait for the final plate to come out. It's common courtesy to wait for everyone to have their meal before eating, so we wait. We wait about 6-7 minutes and the final plate comes out only for it to be cold. All of us ordered breakfast, so you can imagine trying to eat cold egg, potato, and sausage. We ask for the waiter, but before he could get to us the manager passes by and we let him know the issue. He takes the plate to the back and about two minutes later he comes back with the same exact plate. Before the manager arrived to take the plate away, I saw the guest split the egg half and add black pepper on everything so we knew it was the same plate and food she started eating off of that was reheated onto the kitchen grill where other food is being prepared for guest. The manager informs us that he had the chef heat the food up on the griddle and that it should be a perfect temperature. We refuse to accept the plate because it was reheated and not remade entirely. We were shocked that this was the solution even being offered. Reheating food on the griddle seemed unsafe (contamination risk, diseases, illness, etc) and offensive. No one pays these prices to have reheated breakfast served to them. I could've just made that at home for a fraction of the price. We politely refuse the reheated plate and he apologized and took the plate to the back. The server comes over to see what the issue is and we explain everything. He says that he will look into it and take that meal off the bill. Now I'm frustrated because one out of the three of us aren't eating anything and the experience was off. At this point, I'm not eating my meal but the 3rd guest is eating. So the guest who sent their plate back and myself are waiting for the 3rd guest to finish their pancakes. He ordered a stack of 4-5 chocolate chip pancakes and was happily eating away at layer by layer. Eventually he gets to the last 2 pancakes and before he adds syrup he notices what appeared to be an eyelash or short piece of hair imbedded in the pancake. Picture of the clearly imbedded hair included with this review. He immediately stopped eating and looks sick. He had already eaten 3-4 pancakes by then and the idea that he ate more of whatever that was felt unnerving, to say the least. We both start looking to see what he's looking at and long behold the hair was there. At this point we are extremely frustrated and completely over this experience. Management did not make this experience right even after addressing all of these issues both separately and together. I felt like my money was not valued and my business certainly wasn't. They did nothing to remedy these issues and I will NOT be going back to this establishment. This restaurant may look visually beautiful but the service is not. Staff needs more training, music needs to be turned down, chefs need to wear hairnets and everyone needs to follow safe food handling skills. You're putting your guest and your business at risk ignoring these issues. I really really wish I had a better experience.

The interior is dated, but that is their charm as they have both booths and tables and can accommodate at least 150 guests at any given time. The Stack is all about Pancakes and steak, but today I had the burger with fries, Cole slaw and a pickle along with an Iced Tea. The service is friendly, fast and professional. They do a great job of hiring great employees and they have an incredibly loyal following with plenty of competition such as The Colonial, Tick Tock and Arlington Diner. i like their extensive menu and will stop by more often when in New Jersey.

Breakfast food should be easy to make and a delight to eat, and I appreciate the consistency across both of our visits. A true pancake house, they let you substitute home fries for pancakes and let me tell you, that is the right choice! Fluffy, buttery goodness. Eggs, bacon, sausage, home fries... nothing fancy, but all very easy to mess up. We enjoyed every bite. We're also looking forward to coming back for dinner, it is, after all, also a steakhouse! Ample parking, festive for the season, cozy vibes, friendly staff, and good food. What more do you need? I also love their motto printed on the menus and staff shirts: "You deserve butter."
