A busy morning on a rainy Sunday in spring.

Busy day but still seated promptly, orders taken and delivered swiftly, and the food was great. I had the "Bubble and Squeak" (cabbage, potatoes, eggs) with "bangers" (Irish breakfast sausage) plus outstanding Irish soda bread toast -- the special St Patrick's Day menu was still available. Other diners had the always-excellent pancakes (pro tip: get the REAL maple syrup). The friendly welcome, homelike atmosphere, and ever-attentive owner-managers make it all come together.

MANASQUAN: The Paramount Diner in downtown Manasquan has a cozy outdoor patio where leashed-dogs are allowed. The owners, Linda and Mike, encourage bringing doggie customers and lovingly refer to them as "patio pups." You might see some of their regular pup customers there weekly! Mike even brings out bacon for all special furry guests. The food is eggcellent with all breakfast, brunch, and lunch favorites. We enjoyed the avocado toast and a benedict that was uniquely draped over a corn muffin! Huge portions and the best fresh squeezed orange juice. You can even BYOB. We give a lot of credit to small businesses that are excellent at what they do all around!

5/5 stars for the amazing service and food. This mom and pop diner is a must go to when in manasquan. The attentiveness of the staff plus the delicious food makes this a spot you don't want to miss!

Lobster roll (Connecticut style with butter not mayo), with side of Jersey tomatoes

New ownership but same great breakfast and lunch selection with a few new options. Delicious pancakes, light and airy. My favorites are the gingerbread pancakes and the blueberry lemon creme pancakes (comes with a side of lemon curd). This year I also got the Connecticut style (butter not mayo) lobster roll. Fabulous! Fresh squeezed OJ, sausage and biscuits with gravy and churro French toast are family favorites. Everything we've had here is wonderful.

Super cute little hidden gem in downtown Manasquan . Coffee was piping hot ... they offer almond milk ... French Toast was amazing from a local bakery ... my omelette was piping hot filled with feta cheese . Warm Vermont maple syrup . Fresh blueberries ... in my oatmeal . Real fresh squeezed oj. Warm welcoming atmosphere . What's not to love . Owned by locals who greet every table ! Love it

Breakfast and lunch were pretty good for as far as diner food goes. A bit slow for food to arrive. Clean. Friendly. I'd go back again.
