    We recently hosted our daughter's first birthday party at Park Wayne Diner, and it was truly an amazing experience! The back room was perfect for our celebration!! It was spacious, clean, and comfortable for all of our guests. Not to mention how beautifully they set it up for us. 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. Love the vibes here

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

    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!

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

    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 was our second visit to this diner. I don't think I wrote a review the first time but here goes this one! Prepare to walk into holiday joy. The decor was beautiful and definitely puts you in the holiday spirit. Getting seated took a little bit as it was Sunday and very busy. However once we were seated everything was smooth. I liked that they sat us towards the back because we do have a toddler that can get restless so the extra space between tables was appreciated. Our waitress, Jeniffer was amazing. She was super nice and even offered coloring materials for our son which she informed us she actually purchased herself because of customers with kids. She was very attentive and made sure she knew exactly what we wanted. Coffee was decent. The food was absolutely delicious. All of us enjoyed it and we got the value for our money paid. They were able to add peppers and onions to the home fries which made them tasty. Home fries could've been less burnt in my opinion. The omelette was generously made and definitely the definition of meat lovers. I also added jalapeños which made it even better. Fiancé enjoyed the pancakes so much he had to take the other items home. Daughter loved her boneless wings. Son loved his plain toast with butter. Overall a great experience and would definitely come back.

Food was ready quickly, place was fairly empty (I went early) and the attendant delivered my meal to my table - a nice touch. Burger was excellent. Onion rings were cooked perfectly and the ranch dipping sauce was a nice accompaniment. Clean place, nice location, and good food. Not your run of the mill fast food burger - better.

    I had a very concerning experience at The Habit Burger Grill on Hamburg Turnpike in Wayne…read more I ordered the chicken bites, and after actually biting into one, I realized the chicken was RAW/undercooked inside. I had already taken a bite before I noticed it. I'm attaching a photo because this isn't simply a matter of not liking the food or receiving the wrong order. Raw chicken is a legitimate food-safety concern. I understand restaurants can make mistakes, but chicken needs to be cooked thoroughly and there should be safeguards in place to make sure something like this does not reach a customer. I have my receipt and photos documenting what I received, and I am also submitting a formal complaint to management/corporate. Please check your chicken carefully if ordering from this location. I sincerely hope management investigates what happened and reviews their cooking temperatures and food-safety procedures so this does not happen to someone else. This was so gross and disgusting they need to be reported to department of health. This is so unsafe

    I stood in a quaint restaurant perched above the Passaic River with my peepers puzzledly peeping a…read moresign that read "Gene the Pinning Machine." The interior was a quirky mix of hand-painted nautical scenes and a shrine to -- who I presumed was -- a wildly successful collegiate wrestler, Mean Gene Mills. "Do you like spicy food?" a voice piped up from behind me. "Yeah, sure." I replied, turning to see a sprightly older man sporting wide glasses and a leather jacket. I'd noticed him earlier rolling up on a three-wheeled motorcycle as I approached the place, parking it neatly around the side. "I'd go for the Chili Dog and the Big Kahuna," he suggested with a grin, adding, "The chili's not spicy but it's damn good." As it happened, I'd already ordered a pair of chili dogs but I nodded appreciatively. "I'll have to try the Kahuna next time." I said. The man introduced himself as the owner and brother of the locally lionized Gene the Pinning Machine. I could see he was proud of his brother's legacy and this hotdog spot he seemed to view as a hobby. "I'm in real estate mostly," he explained. "The hotdog stand is just for fun. I always wanted a spot by the river, saw this place and snapped it up." And he spoke of it like a hobbyist. He told me about his sausage guy up in upstate New York who hand-makes the dogs, sausages, and casings fuel his culinary creations. While some joints boil or fry their hot dogs, he opts for a series of convection ovens--air-frying them. A quirky and distinctive twist I haven't seen before. It's that hobbyist's eye, as I am saying. We chatted a bit longer before he ducked behind the counter to check in with the kids working the line. He greeted each one with a warm chummy hug and their faces lit up at the sight of him. It was clear from the easy banter that he's a boss who's genuinely well-liked. Now, about that dog: An air-fried hot dog feels a little out there--like baking one, you'd figure it'd dry out. But honestly? It wasn't half bad. Crisp on the outside, yet still decently average on the hot-dog-o-meter. Definitely a step up from the boiled variety. The chili, though? Hands down, phenomenal. That, along with the sausage, comes from his guy up in Syracuse -- the same one crafting those hot dogs. Is it worth hauling a box truck to upstate New York for? Hard to say. But it's absolutely worth my five-minute drive to Woodlandd Park to eat. The prices feel right in line with what you'd expect from a boutique roadside spot like this. The interior's compact--think a pair of small tables and a counter. Out back back there's a small deck with a few tables and chairs overlooking the river. Could be a sweet spot when the weather's kind. The menu is substantial with the addition of an ice cream bar, all Gelotti which is a North Jersey staple. The hotdog is a pretty humble food-stuff, if you like them then you won't be disappointed here. It's worth a stop for lunch if you're ever in town.

    I have been hearing about Lover Dogs for quite some time and I visited recently for the first time…read more These hot dogs surprised me and I can honestly say that they might well be the best all the way hot dogs in the area. I went back a few days after my first visit because they were THAT good. When I walked in, I was greeted by the owner, Wayne Mills. We had a lovely conversation about how he opened Lover Dogs and how Lover Dogs has been his dream retirement. On the walls, there are photos of his brother Gene who was a renowned wrestler in the 80s. Wayne gave me a tour of the outdoor patio and the downstairs area that he plans to expand for breakfast/brunch. The patio area overlooks a nice view of the Passaic River. After the little tour, I ate my all the way hot dog. Lover Dogs hot dogs are air-fried which I thought was very unique. The chilli sauce is out of this world. Super flavorful and perfectly seasoned. Wayne explained that he spent a long time perfecting the recipe and worked with several people to develop. The hot dogs are Hoffman brand which he discovered when he visited his brother many years ago at Syracuse University. It was really nice to see Wayne pay homage to the previous building owners with a framed collage on the wall. I am a local history nerd so I really loved seeing all of the old photos dating back to the early 1900s. Please visit this awesome local business!
