    French Onion Soup

    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! 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

    Mexicali omelette

    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.

    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!! And they just remodeled not so long ago!!!

    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

    We just hosted a baby shower in their newly renovated banquet room which is beautiful! 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 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.

    Breakfast, eggs over light, bacon, hash browns. Eggs Benedict, home fries, fruit cup.

    Great service, Peggy, Moe,and Chris great servers.Nice atmosphere. We go there at least 8 times a month.

    Another one of those annual holiday get togethers with friends. This year we visited Smash'N Pizza…read more(former location of Nonna Marie's). Smash'N Pizza a great little upbeat neighborhood pizzeria on Union Blvd. In Totowa feels fun from the second you walk in. It's the kind of spot that's just as good for a casual slice as it is for a laid‑back burger with friends. The room is limited in size but buzzing, with bright red and black splashed across the walls, a few chairs and tables, and décor carefully planned so the whole space feels energetic and modern. Logos and graphics are scattered throughout, giving the restaurant a playful, branded vibe that makes it look and feel like a cool little Italian hangout rather than a typical slice joint. Pizza, which we shared as an appetizer is the star, with pies that come out hot, crisp, and flavorful, piled with fresh toppings if that's your choice, and a sauce that tastes like it was made that morning. As for me, I always prefer a plain cheese pie. Right alongside the pizza, the burgers were surprisingly fantastic too, juicy and well‑seasoned, and the menu branches out into plenty of other tempting choices to accomodate everyone's taste. I tried the double cheeseburger, along with fries and onion rings, and would certainly recommend giving it a try. Service and hospitality were on point, quick and friendly. And being greeted like a regular, even on my first visit, and checking in often without hovering was appreciated. The overall atmosphere made the place feel welcoming and relaxed, turning a quick lunch into the kind of experience people look forward to repeating. BTW: Smash'N Pizza is a BYOB and has off street free parking. Thank you to Roberto (Robert) and staff for a nice afternoon. We will certainly be back. 12/13/2025

    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!

So it confused my brain since I was expecting an Italian sausage. Would I order it again most likely not. Probably just stick to a plain old frankfurter.
