Not enough words can describe the amazing food here…read more I didn't know what to expect when stumbling into Country MKT diner, and you shouldn't too. Take those expectations and throw them out the window, and open your taste buds and mind to new flavors to homemade dishes that will blow you away. I heavily recommend the mozzarella sticks which are more like bricks of cheese dipped in seasoned coatings that will make other mozzarella sticks think of a new name when these melt in your mouth and pull apart perfectly. The homerun of a sandwich is the Bun Jovi which is a honey Sriracha chicken schnitzel slathered with swiss cheese, pickles, pastrami, and coleslaw. And this dream of a sandwich delivers. The blue seating booths make the diner fun , with high backs they provide comfort and some privacy to your conversations. The staff is beyond freindly and each make sure you are having the best dining experience. To many positives about Country MKT Dinner to name, but each will create a core memory.

With its unique harlequin decor, Chit Chat remains a chic, upscale diner that we frequent often with friends and family. Upon arrival this morning, my partner, his family, and I were greeted by the staff at the host station, and we were able to get a table quickly. The menu was extensive, and we took our time looking but did not feel rushed. Their menu includes a lot of things one may not find on a regular menu. We decided on their brunch menu and ordered Raspberry & Brie Stuffed French Toast, Santorini Benedict, Bro-Nana Cocoa-Nuts Multigrain Pancakes, and Chorizo Hash & Eggs with a choice of a complimentary mimosa, bloody Mary, or Bellini. The food is always fresh and tastes delicious. The portion is healthy and the prices reasonable. The service is consistently fast and friendly. Our server was Ashley.

The space feels…read morebrighter, cleaner, and more modern, with additional seating that helps when they're busy (which they definitely were during our visit). I came here for a Sunday morning breakfast with family, and as someone with celiac disease, I always pay close attention to gluten-free options. I was pleasantly surprised by how many choices they offer. They have gluten-free pancakes, gluten-free French toast, gluten-free bread (which I had with my omelet), and even gluten-free wraps for sandwiches. It's refreshing to see a diner that clearly put thought into accommodating gluten-free diners. The menu has also expanded overall, with plenty of options for non-gluten-free eaters. I ordered the Southwest omelet with gluten-free toast and was satisfied with my meal. At our table, one family member ordered the stuffed waffle (which looked really good), and another had the short ribs Benedict. The Benedict was tasty, but the English muffin was a bit overcooked and we were expecting a bit more short rib on the plate. Service was attentive despite how busy it was. Our server checked in on us regularly, and when they noticed we were going through a lot of water, they kindly left a pitcher at the table, which was very appreciated. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, especially during peak hours, but they do utilize a nearby convenience store lot for additional parking, which helps. They also have a great-looking dessert case, but we were way too full to try anything this time--hopefully next visit. Overall, this is a solid diner option that works well for families, groups with mixed dietary needs, or even a late-night bite. With a wide-ranging menu and breakfast served all day, there's truly something for everyone.

The host at the desk didn't even look up for literally three minutes. When he finally did, he was preoccupied a d seemed annoyed with us..he grabbed the menus, brought us to a booth, tossed the menus on the table, and basically walked away. No hello, no Happy Mother's Day, no "your server will be with you shortly." It then took about 20 minutes just to get a cup of coffee and we had to ask to be waited on We placed our food order at the same time, and about 20 minutes later the waitress came back and asked us to confirm what we ordered. Needless to say, everything took forever after that, including getting the check. We were in the diner for about an hour and a half. Everyone understands restaurants can be busy on Mother's Day, but it wasn't busy when we got there, and even when places are busy, no one should be spending an hour and a half in a diner for breakfast. What's disappointing is that this is actually the second time we've been there since the renovation, and unfortunately we had the same experience with the service both times. From now on, we'll gladly take the extra 20-minute ride to the River Edge Diner in River Edge. The service, food, and staff there are excellent, and you actually feel welcome and happy to be there. Food here was OK, but the service and overall experience were disappointing. We will not be going back.

Jackson Hole came up in a diner list one day and its retro decor, neon sign and an Old Skool camper trailer parked out front made this a must visit location for me. My GF and I recently headed out for the 30ish minute drive to check this place out. I want to say ahead of time that my 4 stars is me feeling generous. This is "really" a 3.5 star review, but before I get into that let's talk about what's awesome. Out of all the diners I have visited in my life, this is one of my favorite in terms of decor and layout. The interior features a counter where you can sit and eat (classic). Booths with coat hooks built in line the diner and each one has a jukebox! The music is a mixture of classic and contemporary music. Want to hear Elvis followed by Lady Gaga? You can do that! The decor is filled with retro items including a display case featuring an old camera and toy diners from the past. It is a total nostalgia trip and I loved it. When you walk in there's even a pay phone encased in glass. The trailer outside is awesome, featuring a set up inside that includes a dinner setting and retro 50's/60's era furniture. The host was very friendly and had us sit anywhere so we chose a booth towards the back. I noticed a lady sitting alone in the booth behind ours (more on that in a bit). We eagerly ordered and started putting quarters into the jukebox and selected a bunch of retro music to help keep the mood nostalgic. Our waitress came by and took our order. We would later learn this is partly where some of our issues began. My GF had ordered her omelet to have egg whites, but the waitress didn't write it down so she wound up getting a regular egg omelet (she still ate it and it was okay). I ordered the buffalo wings and a turkey burger. The way the menu is laid out, I expected it to come with tomato, lettuce and fries - but for some reason they were not included and I had to ask for them after the fact. Here's the other issue, our waitress never came back to check on us. I literally watched her sitting at the counter bouncing a ball to distract herself while I was waving for someone to get me some water. I'm not saying she needed to keep a laser sharp eye on us, but coming over *once* during our meal would have been nice. For the record, there were only three other booths with customers. They were hardly overwhelmed. Had it not been for a nice waiter who was talking to the lady behind us, we wouldn't have gotten any service at all. He was great. The food was "okay" to "very good". The buffalo wings? They were super tiny and not crispy at all. The sauce was okay though. The burger was like the size of my fist so I was very impressed. The swiss cheese I requested was nicely melted on the turkey and the mushrooms in my burger were beautifully cooked. The burger was the highlight of my meal. I did eventually get fries with it but the serving was so anemic I was shocked. I think there were maybe about 10 steak fries in the order. They were good, but it was the saddest fry order I've ever seen size-wise. I tell myself that since this visit was late on a Sunday perhaps we were not gettin the "A-Team" of this diner. The nostalgic trappings are enough to bring me back again, but next time I'll try a slightly busier time in hopes of getting better service.

The food doesn't disappoint, but the lack of service consistency needs to be polished better. I get it that it was busy, but it literally took over an hour for me to receive my order.

I get they were bombarded with a lot of to go and delivery orders, but you shouldn't neglect dine in customers and we shouldn't have to ask for our order follow up. Table touches need to happen more often, especially after 30mins of guest still not having food on their table after ordering. I just want this business to do better in this area.
