The food was amazing and the waitress Chrissie was fantastic! I ordered a French Dip sandwich which was cooked perfectly and delicious. The soup was to die for. Definitely recommend. read more

I love this diner. The food is always good and the diner takes me back in time. Inside it's a classic diner with older decor. Staff was friendly, but the cashier seemed confused. It got very busy around 2pm. This is a hidden gem, great to hit before the beach! read more

Princess Maria Diner - Western Omelette - Diners Near Me - Wall Township, New Jersey

Great breakfast food & hospitable service. Have been going been going here for over 20 years!

Thanksgiving at Princess Maria was a disappointment from start to finish. The turkey special -- which came with gravy, salad, soup, mashed potatoes, and carrots -- had almost no flavor. The turkey itself tasted flat, the gravy didn't help, and the mashed potatoes were cold and stale, which immediately killed the plate. Nothing felt fresh or seasoned. The baked Virginia ham wasn't any better. It arrived with no sauce, and the pineapple tasted straight out of a can. When I asked if they had the traditional pink glaze, they said no, so the ham was basically plain and dry. The kids' pasta was another miss -- barely any sauce and one oversized meatball just sitting in the bowl. It looked thrown together, not served with any care. The only bright spots of the entire meal were: * the fresh cup of coffee (and they could get better I left my business card . (Get your coffee at Coastalcafeshop.com and taste the difference) * and the slice of pumpkin pie, which was decent. For a total of $56, the experience did not match the price, the holiday, or the expectations. Everything tasted bland, stale, or unfinished. read more

I will never go again. The waitress was coughing it spiting into a tissue and continued severing. The liver was like rubber and was sent back. The owner insulted us by saying this is the first we ever had one sent back. The menu ind that they have a right to 20% tip. read more

The food was subpar at best. Felt the food was not properly cooked and lacked flavor. The Mac and cheese was very thick and tasted like flour. The eggs Benedict with crab was not appeasing at all. The crab was mushy and the hash brown there were spots that were uncooked in it. This place can use an update. The service staff was friendly and hospital despite the food not being great. Perhaps if the Diner downscaled their menu it would help with the food quality coming out. read more

Unfortunately , this place has really gone downhill since the last time we met as a group here several years ago. From the moment we sat down we had a feeling that something was off. The diner was empty. The waitress was young, not very friendly, rather impatient, and complained how she was "busting her ass". The silverware was spotty, so we used some napkins and water to clean it up. When we requested more napkins, the waitress said that she already gave us extras. She returns with two more of despite the fact that there were five of us. General observation of the food, large quantity of low quality. We were very disappointed, as years ago this was a decent diner. Lesson learned, when the parking lot is almost empty keep going and find another place to eat. read more

Great service! I had corned beef panini...didn't like that it came on a huge pita so had to cut vs handheld. Corned beef very lean, generous portion. Hubby loved his open turkey reuben on rye. Shared a fresh slice of cherry pie! Will return! read more

Princess Maria Diner - rat feces in back - Diners Near Me - Wall Township, New Jersey

The meals were great, and my personal favorite was the cream of mushroom soup. Perfectly seasoned and nice and hot when it came. My two toddlers loved the Mac and cheese and my fiance had no complaints about the tuna wrap he ordered. Overall great food & desserts! Our waitress was also very friendly & frequently checked on our table, very attentive. Restaurant was very clean and comfortable seating, would totally recommend trying! read more

Princess Maria's is much better than your typical diner, very clean, quick and friendly service, and I haven't had a single thing I didn't like here. Omelettes are excellent, as are their crepes, and the grilled cheeses are interesting and delicious! If I'm feeling healthy I'll go for the oatmeal or Greek yogurt bowls with delicious flavors despite the potential to be bland considering the base ingredients, and the portions are large (leftovers yay!). If the front tiny parking lot is full they have a big lot behind the building so that's never an issue. I highly recommend this if you're looking for great local diner food! read more

I would first like to start that our waitress Izzy was absolutely phenomenal. Young, understanding, friendly, and deserves every tip she gets; The food was amazing, I ordered the pancakes and would recommend to all. She was very quick to bring the food and our drinks out. Fantastic and absolutely gorgeous diner. read more

I will NEVER return to this establishment. The service is truly terrible. One of the waitresses picked a knife up off the floor and placed it on my table to use. I tried to look past that as a genuine mistake. Waited for the salad for 30mins which is suppose to come out before the dinner. 45mins later the waitress only puts the order in the computer after help from the hostess because she didn't know how to use the system. 1hr and 10 mins later finally received the main course only for it to be wrong. When telling the woman who put the order in that it was eventually wrong. She states ''I'm not the cook, I don't know what you're eating.'' Waitress did not return to the table, no apology. Nothing. read more

I give the PM Diner 4 stars as an average: If you're a local (like me), this is the go-to diner--a staple in our community, where people meet up and break bread--so 5 stars for locals, but if you're not a local, you might not think it deserves 5 stars, maybe only 3 or 4 stars for transplants and passersby because it's not the "coolest" or "most hip" place. Regardless, this is THE place for omelettes, if that's your jam. Never loud. Solid service all around. Friendly. Affordable. Fair. Wish they were still 24/7--I blame Covid--but still good hours. Love to come here. read more

I left a review for the Princess Maria diner 11 days ago and I wanted to edit it because we went back the next day, but I don't see a way to do that. I absolutely love when the owners read the reviews. They didn't say anything, but when we went back the next day, the wall between the hand dryer was 90% cleaner Once again. The food was good and Christina took good care of us. We were only in New Jersey for a short time, but when we come back to visit, we'll be sure to go there again. read more

There is simply nothing better than a good American diner, and Princess Maria is more than great. During a visit last week, I was a return diner for breakfasts and dinner. The servers were particularly fantastic. Super friendly, polite, accurate and fast -- with a smile. Checked on us, made us feel welcome and valued, and could not be better. The menu is massive, but I quickly found a couple of favorites. Burger, which I generally don't have, was awesome. Cooked as I liked with fantastic tomatoes and perfect fries. Breakfasts were even better. Sure eggs and grilled potatoes aren't rocket science, but getting them right consistently is what counts. They tasted great. Sausages, regular and Italian, were really good. All was good value for money. Front of house staff and others were all equally nice and pro. So well done, it would be a no-brainer for me to pick them again. read more

Princess Maria Diner - Breakfast! Drooling just looking at it again. Fantastic! - Diners Near Me - Wall Township, New Jersey

Standard Greek style diner. I had a pastrami reuben sandwich today for lunch, my wife went with a chicken salad sandwich. Nothing was bad, very average, what you would expect from a diner. A-OK. They did go a bit overboard with the cheese on top of my pastrami reuben though. read more

Whenever I am in the area, I hit this diner. The food is excellent, served by staff that are so nice and friendly. The fruit salad is made with fresh fruit! I love the yogurt parfaits for breakfast. I have been coming to this diner for the past 5 years whenever I am down the shore (which is often), and will go out of my way just to enjoy a meal here. read more

Good classic NJ diner with all the trimmings. The ambiance was nice and the staff friendly.

We stopped in last night and had a delicious dinner! The soup , entree and dessert were homemade. We had such extra care from our lovely waitress too! You must go! It is a great value ! All fresh and presented with great care! We will be back for sure! read more

I simply was not a fan! My skillet came out sizzling which is cool and all, until it starts cooking my meal alive. I watched my food burn in real time. I think the cook has a vendetta against me. I might have to order 10 thousand sugar gliders to the Princess Maria Diner.... Just to fuck with them! read more

Kind of quiet for a Sunday morning. The breakfast menu is extensive with skillets, omelettes, lots of bakery items. Coffee $2.45 Small OJ $2.25 $11.75 California Benedict $8.25 eggs with sausage $8.45 egg with pork roll Jen was our server and very sweet. Windows can be a little cleaner . Boston cream cake in display fridge looked fab but too full to try it. read more

Princess Maria Diner - Eggs Benedict - Diners Near Me - Wall Township, New Jersey

There's a fine line between "classic" and threadbare that Wall's Princess Maria Diner seems to straddle with aplomb. Sure, the interior is a time warp and more than one of the servers shares a birthdate with Eleanor Roosevelt but they make a damn fine mushroom and tomato omlette so I'm cool with the ancient flourishes. The coffee's hot, the toast is perfect and the service is quick enough, so what do I care if the hairstyles are from Collier's magazine and the Maybelline is applied with a trowel. Princess Maria does the job. read more

You may be inclined to pass this establishment as it comes up fast on 35 and the outside is not that enticing. I personally like the cozy retro silver club car diner or the large diners with glowing and flashy neon "Come Hither" signs that can be seen from a mile away. This is neither, but passing by for a more aesthetically appealing facade would be a mistake. A Big Freakin Mistake. If you take heed of any reviews here it should be mine, as I am most discerning gastronomically and have impeccable taste while giving totally unbiased opinions. That being said... We stopped here just having moved into the area from Diner heavy Bergen County. I was very happy to see they had Skillet Breakfasts. Wow, served sizzling and bubbling hot, the potatoes mixed with cheese, ham, bacon, onions, peppers and tomatoes were mouth watering and heavenly to the point of orgasmic. Absolutely the best I've Ever had! I'd love to review other items but while we've been here 6 times in just over 4 weeks I can't tear myself away from "The Usual." My wife did have another variety of skillet and some egg white vegetable omelettes that she thought were exquisite as well. On the downside the coffee was adequate not great and the jam selection was such that my wife brought a small amount of Bonne Maman jam to go on the rye toast. But I'm not willing to take a star off for that even though I love my coffee and jam. The inside is nicely appointed with typically comfortable booths. The waitstaff were all attentive and efficient many of which I'm sure have been there for multiple decades as with the friendly owner Kostos. I should've posted pictures, but I was too busy eating and packing up the leftovers which were plenty and held up well for meal 2. You get the point though. Come here, you will not be disappointed! You have my word on that!! read more

Service tonight was weak, the young waitress tried to get us mustered and we had to wait 20 minutes because the bus boy wouldn't get it for the waitress to give it to us???? Have you ever heard of anything like this We asked the waitress if the manager was around and she said no??? Totally unacceptable read more

This was such a lovely trip. We had eggs, mozz sticks, and our amazing waitress - I believe her name is Darlene - suggested the cream of turkey soup. DID NOT DISAPPOINT! :) The service was a treat, the food was classic jersey diner food, and we can't wait to come back! read more

Great food and great atmosphere! This place was clean and staff were all friendly! Service was awesome! We will definitely be back!

Great clean and spacious place, service is excellent, everyone was super friendly from the host to our lovely waitress. The food was made super quick (on Saturday noon!) Clean tables, clean restrooms. But the food! I don't know how did they make it but it was really delicious! And I've been to A LOT of diners in this country. So sad I live too far away, I'd come there every weekend for their crispy waffles and perfectly scrambled eggs! read more

Worst dining experience ever. Had late breakfast this past Saturday. Seems like the grill hadn't been cleaned in some time as everything had a weird taste. Telltale sign: salt and pepper shakers were less than half full...a no no for anyone who ever worked in a diner. read more

Decided to come here with my dad, I ordered the ham steak dinner, which comes with soup, salad, a drink, and dessert., the soup choices will change each day, today they had motza ball which is one of my favorites, the salad was bad, my stomach kept rejecting it, as my sides I got corn and mashed potatoes, the corn was dry, flavorless, and hard in some pieces to where I thought I broke a tooth, and the mashed potatoes were dry, flavorless, and tasted like they were under a food heat lamp for more than 3 hours, but the worst part the ham steak .. it was burnt beyond eating, I had to send it back and ask them to remake it, they only get their deserts in every Thursday and today is Wednesday so the apple pie was stale as fuck, and do I even need to mention I ended up choking on the corn and the waitress just stood there drinking her drink.. talk about horrible customer service. read more

Smelled like poop which they said was normal for hot days. Ate the worst calamari i've ever had. It was tasteless, freezer burnt, and rubbery. Compared to other local restaurants, very overpriced for what you receive. There were more flies than customers. They probably appreciate the poop flavor in the air. Never again. read more

I was in Jersey for a class reunion and the first thing I had to find was a diner. The people at the hotel didn't even know of this diner????? I was driving around and someone on the street walking their dog gave me directions. Yes, I found it, and I didn't even have to look at the menu, it was going to be Taylor ham and egg on a hard roll. It is a rather big sandwich for me, but I wound up eating the entire sandwich. It was so good, and I waited months to have this one particular sandwich, and I enjoyed every bite. I stayed at a pricy hotel for the reunion, but their food could not top the meal I had at Princess Maria. The waitress was very nice, and I am sure the gentlemen manning the register was the owner. He too was very personable, and I did go back for two other meals and brought along some friends from the reunion. They agreed with me, the food was enjoyed by all. Thanks, Princess Maria, for making my trip across the country worth it. read more

Looked forward to going for breakfast. Had been in the past. Sorry to say, not worth money spent. Service terrible (only 3 tables with customers already eating) had to go looking for waitress both to order and pay. Too busy in corner socializing with other waitresses. Food mediocre at best. Fries cold and hard, veggie omelet bland, no taste. Toast burned. Did eat since this had been a fasting morning for bloodwork and wasn't up to drama, but never again. Owner very nice and well. Too bad! read more

Ho hum are my two words for this diner in Wall Twp. The food is OK, the service is OK but that's about it. The place is clean, the cashier looks like he never smiled in this whole existence and all he's interested in is taking your $. I'm sure this diner is about 15 years old and it's the first time and possibly the last that I will frequent this place. I will say the coffee is good though the cup itself is only 4/5 ounces if that, so getting a 2nd cup is really like having a full cup. I have never seen a smaller ceramic cup. I'm sure this place gets busy especially during the summer season. Also there are not many diners from Ocean Twp thru Wall Twp on Rte 35, so if you're looking for a diner, you'll probably stop here. Oh well. read more

Horrible service! Ordered from this diner a few times and had no issues until tonight. I ordered the chicken fiesta salad and it was DISGUSTING! I called to tell them it was missing cheese and the salad was hot and wilted and they offered nothing. I will not give my business to this place again. read more
