The waiters are either rude or so overworked they forget to check your table. We went here and after serving our food, the waiter never came back and no one could find him to get our check. When we went to the front desk to pay we were given attitude about why we didn't wait for our waiter! The prices are expensive, but at dinner they give you bread and pasta salad. I try to avoid this place if I can. read more

Park Wayne Diner - Diners Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

In town for business, I ate here three nights in a row, I always sit at the counter. They treat me like a friend, and know what I need without having to ask. Make sure you get onion soup as a side, it's fantastic. read more

Surprised to see the lower rating here. When I went, I had a pleasant experience. If you are looking for a stereotypical, big, metallic, diner, you won't find one better than the Park Wayne Diner. There is plenty of seating inside too. The waitress was nice, however, I will say it appeared they were understaffed. She was rushing from table to table. I ordered the arugula and spinach omelet with a side of grits. It was one of the bigger omelets I've had. I was hoping the grits would be unique but they were just boxed grits. Why are good grits so hard to find in NJ? In all, I had a pleasant experience and would come back. read more

In town for work and this place got such bad reviews I figured I had to check it out. I was greeted by nice young lady who showed me to a seat and left me with a menu. I was waited on promptly by a pleasant waitress. The place was busy but the staff appeared to be keeping up with no problem. I placed my order waited no more than 15 minutes for my meal. I got the roast turkey dinner which was delicious. The portion was huge and I ended up bringing half home. When I cashed out the gentleman at the register was friendly and plesent to speak with. For the money it's what you would expect for a diner in any town. Good food, friendly staff and big portions. read more

The owner was not wearing a mask indoors and was not socially distancing. Food was nothing special. Pretty disappointing

I've been going to the Park Wayne diner with my girlfriend Michelle every week twice a week sometimes and we love it ! George and Moody are the best! They have amazing food and the desserts are to die for . They have an amazing staff and especially John John! We love everything about this diner ! We have a great time every time we go there . The staff treats you like your family . If you want great food, reasonable prices then come to the Park Wayne diner . You won't be disappointed. As to some of the reviews I read they must be talking about the previous owners or someone else because George and Moody took over new ownership back in October of 2019 and they are great people that are very humble and love to make their customers happy . Come down and check them out for yourself , you won't be disappointed !!! read more

I've been going there since it was the King George Diner. I love their matzo ball soup. I recently ordered a meal from their. Can someone tell me why I was automatically charged 15% tip on a meal that I picked up? I know it's Covid and support local businesses but honestly! That is just rude and not right. read more

The best diner around. The food is out of this world, the servers are friendly and very attentive. If you're looking for an overall wonderful experience this is the place to be. Wether it's for a quick bite, a birthday dinner, or a quick order to take with you TO GO, I totally recommend this to be your new GO TO diner read more

I want to start off by saying, I love diners! So I've been to a fair share of diners. Park Wayne always greets me like they've known me for years and I love that when it comes to diners. The waiters/waitresses, hostesses and owner are always beyond amazing and accommodating. I've gotten breakfast, lunch, dinner, 3AM meals and have never been let down. Even with COVID, the staff have been awesome with the precautions that I have seen them taking. Amazing food. Personal favorite meal is Salmon Filet. A bit on the pricey side, but so worth it. Love coming here! read more

Dear Yelp why can't I leave zero score.... so I refused to go here, my wife says but its the closest restaurant to our house. I tell her it is horrible I have a problem everytime we go. Last time they sat us and forgot us so we left. Now we go, after I kicked and screamed I dont eat here and guess what. We walk in and the 1st waitress sees us say what do I tell them.... I look around of course, here it comes. They place is at least a third full but they tell us at 1050 at night to come back in 3 hours they are cleaning the hoods. Are you sure I cant give zero stars... I never catch a break here. yes Im done again... read more

Went to this diner for breakfast and the bill came out to $55. They charge four dollars for a glass of milk $7.50 for 2 cups of orange juice!! I will never go there again! So over priced! And on top of it the server had no personality! read more

Yes, one star. After 3 visits, my experience never improved. How some can give 5 stars seriously need to go visit some other diners and experience a warm welcome, great food and reasonable prices. Just a diner with no class or character. On arriving, hostess did not greet us. Upon seating, table was dirty and we had to wait 10 mins for menus. Menu was oily, waiter was impolite and was not exactly happy and willing to take our order. Barely spoke English and order was incorrect. Food came and sausages were over cooked-hard as rock...actually bent fork upon cutting into them. No "unlimited refills" here - just one. Cheap. Upon receiving the bill, I paid at the register, no words from hostess..not one!!! also noticed, owner was in the middle of a dispute with other customers next to front door. Unprofessional. A diner that seriously needs a lot of customer service help. read more

Park Wayne Diner - Smallest sausage ever served?? Was a hockey puck too! - Diners Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

I think I just had my first crepe omelet. I ordered spinach, arugula and mushrooms. What came out was this paper thin thing that was folded in half to resemble what would normally be an omelet. The mushrooms, arugula & spinach was mixed in with the eggs and then poured out over a large griddle (from what I can see/taste) Because it was so thin, it was completed dried out, even the mushrooms. Completely tasteless. Thank god it was cheap. Service was lovely...... read more

Server was very rude. The restaurant was dirty and old looking. The food is all under cooked. They got our orders wrong. If I could I would give this 0 stars I'm surprised there wasn't mice everywhere. read more

One of the best diners I have ever been too. One day I was passing by with friends very hungry and we stopped to eat and boy let me tell you we did not regret it. From the food to the staff & management, it is beyond excellent. The staff is very attentive and the cooks have hands of magic. I live about 30 minutes away & still make it a priority to visit at least once a month! read more

So I went to this dinner the other day the lady at the front was so nice opened the door for me sat me in whatever booth I wanted I ordered some food the plate was huge and I got what I paid for amazing food the people there are great nice respectful people always asking are you ok you need anything how's your food and it was amazing experience and I will be coming back I will give this place a 10 thank you Wayne park dinner read more

Very ehhhh is all I can say. This is the go to diner for me and my friends when I am at home since it is close to where I live and always open. There's been times I gotten food and I loved it and other times that I am blown away and was like "they actually served me this?!" I don't usually order anything too crazy, most of the times it is just typical diner food. Disco Fries (Gravy & Cheese) French Onion Soup Burger with Curly Fries Like I said, food can be hit or miss depending on the times you go and if certain chefs are in or not. Service is where I really ask myself why I keep coming back sometimes. Most of the servers I get are usually not that great and come off rude. I get that we are here late most of the times (11PM-2AM) and they probably don't like that but then why work that shift if you are just gonna be rude? The service has rubbed my friends and I wrong too many times. I always believe that you should ALWAYS tip the people serving you but I always question it here when it comes down to paying for my meal. Overall 2.5/5 stars but since food can be good, I'll round it up. I'll be back but not anytime soon. read more

Three stars only because my second biggest restaurant peeve is getting all your food at once! Service was good with this one exception. The portions were huge! Prices were average. Special dinners and lunches come with free dessert. The tiramisu pudding is outrageously delish. I had a totally vegetarian meal-not on purpose, I just went with a totally different choice of foods. Broccoli and cheese soup was hot and very good. I also had a side salad that was so fresh it was still crisp the next day. Great French dressing, was the thickest I have seen in a long time. They also served a chick pea salad with fresh herbs that was very good. A basket of hot fresh bread and rolls was also served. My main course was the Penne with Portobello mushrooms in a creamy mushroom sauce. It was good but the penne was too soft and the sauce had a bit of a flour flavor to it. Dessert was the bread pudding which was just ok. More custard would have been welcomed. I would try them again for sure. read more

Stay away now i know why jess got sick the last time... these fries look like old garbage moldy fries. They must have sat out there old. This was a waste stomach already is acting up.

Park Wayne Diner - Mixed Berry Pancake - Diners Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

Wish I could rate it lower. Worst diner I've ever ate at. Ordered blueberry pancakes and an omelet to go. Pancakes were totally raw in the middle and the omelet was rubbery and over cooked. I went back with the raw pancakes to return them and get my money back. I told the lady that they were raw, she opened the container looked in and examined them and then proceeded to assist another customer who was in line behind me, I waited. She then came back to me and told me she could not refund the money for the pancakes because I paid with a credit card. I could not believe this so I clarified this and she said there is no way to give the money back. I find this hard to believe. She asked if I wanted to replace the pancakes, but I didn't want more raw pancakes. I would advise anyone to avoid this diner at all costs. Unprofessional, rude, terrible food, and the worst diner experience I have ever had. read more

Honestly I used to love this diner since they have pretty good food depending what you order and it's convenient considering I live so close to it. I've been trying to go every now and then during the pandemic. Last couple of times the food has been off, I let it go. But I do not appreciate ordering a chef salad that is $13.75 on your site and being charged $17.65, the guy didn't give me my receipt which was weird considering he had it in his hands but I left trusting I would be charged correctly. Enjoy the extra cash. read more

The food is pretty good. And the waitress we had was really nice. However the main reason why Im giving then 2 stars is because of the manager, or I believe she is the manager. She has dark hair with glasses. When she sat down in the booth next to me she was creating a schedule for her employees. While I was eating my meal I could hear her make racial slurs and make really nasty comments about her employees and it made me feel uncomfortable. read more

First time visit, the service was excellent and the food too, the place reflects a 1950 diner, super clean, recommend !

Food is bland as heck and barely seasoned. Managers are blatantly nasty, rude and racist. Wayne has much better food and other diners than this sack of garbage establishment. Service is generally very poor. read more

Had a delicious Johns salad with chicken that had mango bits and pieces, one of the best salads I ever had at a diner. Also had some great soup that hit the spot. Stellar staff, too! read more

Friendly service and great food. What else could a Jersey girl ask for in a Jersey diner? I ordered the spinach pie special from the "specials" menu. It came with a soup, Greek side salad, drink, and dessert. My favorite part was the flaky crust on the spinach pie. And the Greek salad was a true Greek salad, with a dolma and all. My lunch date ordered the French dip sandwich. He said it was great but the "au jus" was a little salty. He still practically ate the whole thing. On two different occasions I heard people from nearby tables say "oh, wow" when their plates were being served. It sounds like everyone liked the portions and looks of the food they ordered. I wasn't the only one. read more

Not very good all around! Lunch was brought out one at a time for three of us. Food was not edible by any means... hanger steak was unseasoned dry and had a bad aftertaste. Avocado toast was sliced avocado on toasted bread! No one could eat their food it was just BAD. read more

This place has been awful since it changed owners and rebranded as Park Wayne. No quality control whatsoever as they regularly serve cold and moldy food. I already swore off this place long ago. Racism aside, this place sucked before they hated people of color. Would not reccomend. read more

This is probably going to be the most odd and uncomfortable review that I have ever wrote on yelp and I'm going to be A happy medium. First off parking was great the restaurant looked kind of cool and everything was looking great we ordered the best matzot ball soup you could possibly imagine and I am the queen of matzoh ball soup. My friend lives in this area I was surprised to see that they even had multiple soup but I loved it it was perfect amazing the balls the broth the chicken it was just amazing I ordered some breakfast that I thought would be a little different so I really didn't touch it I just put it in a container to go and brought it home I had ordered for dessert what I believed to be a coconut custard pie and it looked beautiful in the case. It was uncut and fresh and I asked our server Tiffany if in fact coconut custard and she said yes. Here's the odd part of my yelp review Tiffany was obviously having a very rough night and she definitely was not in the mood to even crack a smile be friendly at all with us and at first we did not take it personally. But after a visit to our table she literally took or a dessert order and offered coffee with her back turned to us which we thought was so strange. I've never in my life had a server ever literally talk to me where I was staring at the back of their ponytail. When she walked away my girlfriend had said "oh my God why is she so mean that's the rudest way to talk to people you are serving it's not like we did anything to her" When the coconut custard pie had came I took one bite and spit it into my paper napkin. It tasted like it was in the refrigerator for about five days. I couldn't find Tiffany but there was an older brunette lady who was thin working as the receptionist who happened to see me spit out the food and she said what's wrong and I said oh my God it taste so bad it taste like it's been in the refrigerator for a week. She smelled it and took it with her and she told me to come up to the case with her. In the front case there was a coconut custard pie that was untouched and Tiffany my server gave me a very old piece. And the receptionist lady was nice enough to cut me a fresh piece. And then my girlfriend decided to order a piece of cheesecake. Tiffany finally came over and she was a little disgruntled that we had had new desserts sitting in front of us and wanted to know how we got them. Anyway she came by and swiped the receipt off the table and put down a new one airing on the strawberry cheesecake that my friend had ordered. It was conundrum at first to wonder what it was that we had done to deserve her being so cold and unwelcoming but my friend was like "screw her" Not realizing that the server was sitting directly in back of us in another booth I had said "she's probably pissed off because you took forever telling her what you wanted to order" We didn't care obviously something was bothering this server that I can't control I had a bad week myself and I left her seven dollars cash on the table and we left. We were wondering though if she was the type of server that would mess with our food. I couldn't believe that she would give me a nasty ass piece of pie like that instead of just giving me a fresh piece I think that's really bad on her part. I think that I would only come in here for that matter ball soup or have it picked up for me from my friend in that area I would never want to sit at that girls table ever again but one thing is for certain the food is really good there There was another server who is a little overweight with brown curly hair she was bubbly and fun we wished we would've gotten her section Had we had a pleasant experience with this Tiffany check I would've been up there all the time and this would've had five stars read more

New owners are doing a great job. Don't believe the fake reviews written by one of their competitors below. They don't do a very good job of disguising this fact in their fake reviews.The service and food had definitely fallen the past year or so under former owner. The quality of the food is rising daily and is almost back to where it once was under old owner when still really good. BTW, one of the first moves new management made was to fire Jasmine. New owners need to show that they care about feedback and respond to these reviews. If they don't care enough to defend themselves, why should we? read more

Wow, this place is SO much better than it was when it was the King George Diner. It's a completely different place. They completely renovated it, and everything looks very fresh and updated. The menu, too, is completely redone. My friend and I had lunch here, and we ordered two different salads. The salads arrived shortly, and they were enormous, fresh, and delicious. One of the best salads I have ever had at a diner, or anywhere else. Their menu is now super vegetarian friendly as well. I wish they weren't so out of the way for me, because if they were a little closer this could become my go-to place. read more

Waitress we had could of been nicer. This restaurant needs to update their menus. Don't have certain items which is listed on their menu, (online and in house). I didn't know this and when placing my order waitress said we don't have this. I showed her where it was on the menu. When we went to pay and it seems the manager is the person that checks us out while paying our check, this woman completely ignoring me and is a very rude woman. She takes our check and payment and while I'm talking to her to say I was disappointed with them for not having a updated menu and the one item I was looking forwards to having. Again ignoring what I have to say. She continues to say do we want leave a tip. I said NO!!!!! Because I left a cash tip and paying with my card. Again turns to talk to another customer while I'm talking. All the time not even being concerned with what I had to say. The food I choose to order was okay. Though I Will NEVER come back to this restaurant. read more

Wait was way too long for food... over 30 mins for two burgers and two wraps. Order was wrong at first and when I waited another 10 minutes (for a WRAP!) they gave me the same fries with the first order - FREEZING The manager tried to rectify by wrapping my meal and fresh fries but they did nothing about the expensive bill. Not to mention our table was in the middle of the entrance. So where we got to sit with a baby seat was getting bumped by EVERYONE walking in and out of the place. read more

THEY DO NOT SELL ALCOHOL CONTRARY TO WHAT THEIR MENU SAYS. My friends and I went for brunch, and we were quite excited for the boozy drinks. This really bummed out the experience.
