Piston Diner - Westville - You won't hear "No soup for you!" In this local diner! You will hear "soup flights!". Every soup homemade with passion and flavor! Their potatoe leek is award winning, creamy and delicious. The Pennsylvania Dutch soup was just as good. The fav among our group was the chicken pasta. So many selections! We also hit up some of the comfort food this warm and welcoming diner offers. Tuna melt, chicken wrap, and a carved turkey melt all hot the spot. Every meal comes with a cup of soup so you can taste at least one! Or get the flights they offer to taste them all. Awesome staff and service. #soup #homemade #diner #soupflight #hashtagstevej #foodie #supportlocal #comfortfood

I have been meaning to provide a post-Covid review of everyone at my church's go-to-diner and today as I shared breakfast with a group of 20 people, I realized today was the day! First the good stuff ... the people who own, manage and work at The Piston Diner all seem to care about everyone who eats here. Friendliness and a desire to "know your story" has been a mark reflective of this diner since it opened. When you take a glance around the walls of this diner you will see accolades from a wide variety of community organizations, and I know that the diner regularly gives back to the church I am part of as well as to other faith-based organizations. The food is TOP NOTCH diner food! There is a classic diner's menu that seems to have everything but the kitchen sink on it and who knows maybe one of their vast options of omelets just might be called that. There breakfasts are great, but the sandwiches will cover two meals in one unless you have a really huge appetite! Freshly made soup is always on the menu and I love soup, so I regularly enjoy many of their offerings. When you watch the interactions with customers it is clear that many are repeat customers ordering up their favorite Piston choices! Now, the bad is just a reality of the times we live in. You might have to wait a little bit longer than you did in 2018 or 2019 to be taken care of. There are signs looking for wait staff, but it seems all restaurants are in the same predicament. Today, we came as a group of 20 (We did make reservations ahead of time.); we were seated right away but understandably the service was a bit slow, but our group understands the times we are in ... however, if you are an inpatient individual who demands immediate service perhaps the comfy feeling of The Piston might not be for you. I just smile when I hear people say 'they are going to the Piston' because I know they will leave happy!

Supposed to be a Greek salad, this is no Greek salad I've ever seen, waste of money.

I had not been to a 24 hour diner in probably 25 years…read more My weekend eating is a bit different time wise so I didn't get hungry for dinner until 2 AM.!!! We found FALCON DINER on Yelp. I was so happy that we were going to a diner this late at night - it brought back so many great memories of a younger me! I had the best mozzarella sticks that I have ever had. They were packed with cheese and not greasy at all. I also had 2 cups of decaf coffee since it was so late at night (for caffeine). Our young male server, Evran, was so nice, courteous and attentive. My "Sir" got a really nice looking breakfast platter. He enjoyed it very much, and took half of it home for the next day. Did I mention their sweet portion sizes?! I am a big sweets and chocolate lover and was all but drooling over their bakery case with some glorious looking cakes and cheesecakes. (Really beautiful!) I think I'm going to go back here 1) - for dinner, 2) - for dessert only. I cannot believe that this diner wasn't on my radar before last - a true bad on my foodie part! GOOOOOOOO check this classic out!!!

First off, a massive thank you to Falcon Diner for actually understanding the assignment and…read morekeeping the 24-hour tradition alive. I have a bone to pick with the rest of New Jersey: How are we the 'Diner Capital of the World' when every other spot locks their doors at 8 PM like they have a curfew? It's embarrassing. You aren't a diner if you aren't open at night! I stopped in around 9 PM for a bromantic dinner with a good broski. We were on our best behavior (no nonsense, just serious appetites), and Jennifer was fantastic--fast, friendly, and efficient. I ordered the Texas Burger (cheddar, bacon, BBQ sauce), but we need to talk about the caramelized onions. They were absolutely delicious--sweet, savory, and cooked to perfection. The sweet potato fries were on point, too. This felt like a true, authentic old-school diner experience. To all the other diners closing early: Step your game up. Falcon is winning.

The Black Horse Diner is not the kind of place where angels weep or where culinary revolutionaries…read moretake notes. No. It is simply a reliable hearth for hungry souls who adore breakfast food, lunch food, and dinner food in equal measure. And it is my dear mother's favorite diner in the area, which feels like a credential earned through decades of careful eating and limited dietary options thanks to a gallbladder that decided it had seen enough of this world. Service here approaches that shining ideal of Americana. The wait staff seem genuinely invested in your continued existence, keeping coffee cups filled and orders moving with calm efficiency. You are not rushed, forgotten, or treated like an inconvenience. You are treated like someone who came in hungry and intends to leave better than you arrived. The food is dependable in the most comforting sense of the word. The menu is typically Jersey diner broad and familiar, offering breakfast all day, sturdy sandwiches, omelets that know what they are doing, and classic diner dinners that arrive hot and generous. I've had the meatloaf with mushroom gravy, the French onion soup, the prime rib, and the French toast. Nothing is fancy or experimental. Nothing is trying to impress you. It simply aims to be good, and usually succeeds. The dining room itself is clean and comfortable, with the reassuring atmosphere of a place that has seen many regulars come and go and remembers them kindly. Families, couples, and solo diners all seem equally at home. You can order chicken croquettes or a country omelette and know exactly what you are going to get, which is a small but meaningful luxury in a world that so often overpromises and underdelivers. So I give the Black Horse Diner four stars. Not because it is extraordinary, but because it is steady, sincere, and reliably satisfying. Sometimes a solid meal served by capable people in a place that knows itself is more than enough.

I walked in to this traditional NJ diner (entry behind the main door, pay at the register, all that…read moregood stuff), and they got us a table right away before the others arrived. Strong start. I ordered one of the mini meals. I really loved the cream of mushroom soup of the day. Deep flavor and a nice complement of mushrooms, better than usual. The initial appetizers with the mini meals came out right away. I would say an average wait time for dinner. And the food? My chicken croquette tasted almost like lobster. Plenty of sauce to dip the beans. I tried my friend's fries and those are also outstanding. Excellent meal through and through. And mini meals include a dessert! Homemade pudding - tapioca is delicious. Highly recommend. I'm not a diner guru, but this hit every angle I'd want. Come check it out!
