    This is the amazing Mediterranean platter my husband and I shared. It was delicious

    Review update A few years ago we stopped going to this diner because the food and service had really gone downhill. We recently RETURNED and it is a WHOLE NEW experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The diner has been remodeled, it's clean and most importantly the food is BETTER than ever![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They even have a new party room in the back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you haven't been here in a few years, it's time to COME BACK and try it for yourself.

    Love the kids eat free Mondays! My son also got his balloon and face painted. The lady is super friendly and accommodating. The service at this place is not consistent. Some staff members are extremely helpful, but some others are okay.

    We recently hosted our daughter's first birthday party at Park Wayne Diner, and it was truly an amazing experience! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The back room was perfect for our celebration!! It was spacious, clean, and comfortable for all of our guests.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not to mention how beautifully they set it up for us.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The entire staff went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. They were so attentive, friendly, and incredibly accommodating, which made the day completely stress-free for us. The food was absolutely delicious, and our guests couldn't stop complimenting it! We also wanted to mention Moody, who was absolutely wonderful. He was so kind, helpful, and accommodating, and we really appreciated his positive energy and willingness to help with anything we needed. They made our baby girl's special day feel even more special, and we're so grateful. Highly recommend for any event or even just a great meal. We are always here, and the staff treats you as family. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love the vibes here[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Mexicali omelette
    Priyank R.

    Food was great, large portions easily to split. We got the Mexicali omelette with home fries with bacon on the side. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They were decorated nicely for Christmas which was a nice added touch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambience and service were great as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Nice local diner.

    Greek Tacos

    Love this diner!! My favorite diner in town!! These tacos were so yummy and huge!! Everything here is so fresh and never disappoints. Highly recommend. Everyone who works here is also so accommodating and kind.

    Every time I come here I'm greeted with a smile and like family. Everyone that works here is friendly and food is good!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]And they just remodeled not so long ago!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    It's diner food so it's not a fine dining situation. But the food was basic and good. Our waitress was a thing of beauty! She's probably been there forever. My brother and I were "Hon" the whole time. Classic!

    Newly renovated banquet room

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]We just hosted a baby shower in their newly renovated banquet room which is beautiful![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was outstanding as always. The service was spot on. I can't praise them enough. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a special party I suggest them with confidence that you will enjoy.

    Breakfast...French toast and sausage, served all day.

    It's New Jersey and it's a diner. Is the food supposed to be incredible, no, it's culture...diner culture and it's a nuanced part of life in North Jersey. No diner is the same and different people go to different diners and at different times. That being said Park Wayne checks all the marks for a diner and what it should it be. Diners are a volume business, not a fine-dining experience. Service is acceptable here after multiple visits recently. There are good and bad things at Park Wayne. Good: Disco Fries, probably the best we had out of the 3 diners I went to. The gravy had the most flavor and best consistency. The cheese, is well delightful, but everyone uses the same cheese. Sandwiches, Ruben, good with real deli mustard. Not so good: diner service, it isn't anything to write home about and that is the standard. It would be a diner with over the top service. Coffee, never food, always average at best. Diners are a part of life in the Garden State, please embrace accordingly.

This time we sat in and it was a great experience! Fairly empty at around 1pm we were sat immediately. Super cute space. Decor is cute and chairs are comfy. Our waiter was great and attentive.

It was very clean, with music perfectly paired to the already present atmosphere. The staff were some of the friendliest staff I've ever encountered. They all greeted us with a warm smile. We started off with two Chai Lattes: one with whole milk and one with almond milk. The presentation of these lattes was top tier; definitely worth the minor wait. They also tasted even better than they looked. For our brunch, we had gotten some chips and guacamole to start. For our entrees we shared a couple of plates: the body builder omelette with hash browns and a side of white toast, a side of beef sausage, and the French Toast (topped with Pineapple chutney with vanilla glaze and strawberries) with scrambled eggs, cheese and bacon. All of the food was presented beautifully and tasted even better, just like the Chai Latte. The portions were large considering the affordable cost, and it all came out in a timely manner. Aside from the atmosphere and food, the one thing that stood out here was the customer service. Our waiter (I think his name is Wil) was very accommodating and helpful. We had an issue with their machine when trying to pay and Wil handled it quickly and professionally. Even if we didn't have that issue, the entire customer experience was great, and you could tell from the faces of the other tables that they shared our experience. For all that, they get a well deserved 5/5. I would highly recommend checking out the West Side Diner if you want to try out a cozy breakfast/brunch spot that won't break the bank.

It wasn't until the 17th century that this meal became a more common practice, especially among the wealthy, who would have rich dishes like scrambled eggs alongside coffee and tea in the morning. The Garden State is still known as the diner capital of the world. Located off Essex Street in Hackensack, this establishment is one of the handful of 24-hour diners. 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. Today, breakfast isn't just about nutrition; it's a cultural ritual.

I absolutely loved the teriyaki Salmon salad last time and switched it up for the Ahi Tuna Sandwich this time. Portions are decent and after the soup you will be full. The ambiance of the place is definitely the best part. You get an Alice in Wonderland kind of vibe. It can get busy during lunch hours but if are able to get window seatings you'll get a view of the New York skyline (if the city pollution allows) The only negative is they're drinks are more on the pricier side that.

She worked on 7/29 and I arrived at 3:00pm. She had absolutely NO customer service skills. I asked to be sat at the counter before my friend arrived so I could order a drink and a snack and do some work. This seemed to be the most insane request because she told me to just sit in the waiting area? I know I couldn't be sat until my party arrived so I wanted to get my own check first while I ordered something small. She was really apprehensive and made me feel like I was the biggest inconvenience. As someone who's worked in food service, I understand sections and if the counter was not being served I did not want someone to have to go out of their way to serve me. Her attitude made me feel like a server would maybe be upset with me? So I offered to just sit at the front where she has initially suggested because the situation started getting really uncomfortable and she just kinda stared at me. That already started my visit off on a really weird note Next thing she did: I paid for my food before my friend arrived because I don't dine and dash??? I know I needed to pay my check before I got sat with my friend. AS I AM STANDING UP TO GO TO THE HOSTESS STATION TO BE SAT WITH MY FRIEND SHE POINTS AT MY AREA AND SAYS "You need to pay for that!!" Like no way???? Of course I paid. I was SO offended she thought I wouldn't ??? All around she is hurting your business by being the first person you interact with. Every other employee was fabulous and kind. Like I said my server and the food were great. I just have never felt so unwanted or like such a hassle for simply wanting to buy food?? I am a paying customer I would never want to take up space or money away from any servers. I know how the industry gets. All in all: it's a good idea to talk to her about how to treat customers
