    Came this week and haven't been here in forever. Used to come here as a kid. Love the atmosphere inside. Typical older diner. Staff were very nice and took care of us. Food was good and came out fast. No complaints!

    Always generous portions with enough to share or bring home for a second meal. I had the Tuscany Panini with eggplant, roasted peppers and mozzarella. Really good! Service is great. Crazy ceiling hanging that looks like a boat frame.

    I recommend the Rainbow Diner restaurant, they always make us feel at home, kindness, cleanliness and delicious food make a single complement. 100% The best.

    Always busy because it is always good. Great service and big portions. Free Coleslaw and pickle with most entrées. Cool glass decorations. Loved the Tuscany Panini with eggplant, roasted red peppers and mozzarella on a lovely pita with balsamic glaze! Steak fries cooked to perfection.

    Took my son and two close friends out for DINNER after they helped me with warming and serving food for a guys Party . My daughter has her baby shower. Service was fantastic. Thanks George. Anything we needed, we got. I ordered the sweet Pork Chops with mushrooms, onions and peppers. There was a delicious brown sauce poured over the entire dish. It comes Sweet and Hot. I went Sweet this time. Came with plenty of yellow rice. Bread with butter were warm too. I also had Decaffeinated coffee. The meal was enormous. Three thick big Pork chops! WOW I ended my terrific meal with a piece of Cherry pie alamode. Two large scoops of Vanilla ice cream

    Rainbow is a quality Jersey Diner. I have had many meals here over the years and it continues to meet my expectations of good food, good service, good variety and good atmosphere. Recently had breakfast and was satisfied

And, no I am not awarding four stars for the service approach towards diners ... she did refill my coffee mug once and then surprisingly just took the creamers away without asking (I drink my coffee black but she didn't know that.). Clearly she has favorites because the guy in the booth next to me got the lovey-dovey "hon" treatment. The Sand Castle has a feeling of having been worn down by the waves through the years type of place because many of the booth chairs and counter chairs exhibit wear and even more than a few tears. On a cold November Saturday morning I could feel the chill as I sat in my booth sipping my coffee (And, I wasn't anywhere close to the front door.). So onto the four stars ... but don't say I didn't warn you about service and ambiance. Well, it feels like a shore diner and I like that feel but yea worn out a bit. Quite awhile ago stopped by for dinner and the food was really good with lots of tempting options. I always judge diners by their soup and the soup was top notch! Our meals were enjoyable at a reasonable price. And, then I just forgot to review the diner. But decided to return for breakfast today after a long Friday night. Coffee arrived promptly and was really decent coffee but the amazing part of my breakfast was how quickly the really wall prepared omelette was served. It was like in the blink of any eye and for many a promptly delivered breakfast meal is a real plus (I appreciated it!!!!). Although the waitress really didn't want to be bothered with me the rather short diner breakfast menu had the classics and that quickly prepared omelette was a tasty WESTERN. The homefries were really good ... actually they were great even without onions in them (Waitress never asked if I'd like onions and rushed away so I didn't ask but these potatoes didn't need onions.). Toast was toast and the jam/jelly selection was universally grape jelly with one orange marmalade. A very good breakfast and I wasn't here to make friends just to warm up ooops ok, so I didn't warm up but the coffee helped, and to do some work. Still worth the food if you're in the neighborhood!

I ordered the Mom Burger, which is a Swiss burger topped with mushrooms on a brioche bun. It also came with a good portion of fries and a side of pickles. The burger itself was pretty solid -- good flavor and a satisfying size. At $16, the portion felt fair considering the amount of fries you get with it. One thing I noticed was an additional charge for sauces. I asked about it, and they explained that all their sauces are made in-house, which is why they charge $1 per sauce. Honestly, that makes sense when they're homemade. Now the star of the show for me was actually the drink. After looking over the menu a bit more, I decided to try the LA Metro coffee drink with almond milk. I'm not a big coffee drinker, but for $5.99, I have to say it was really good. Definitely something I'd order again. I also want to mention the customer service. The girl working at the counter was extremely nice -- probably some of the best customer service I've had in a while. She didn't rush anything, answered my questions, and was very professional and friendly. I asked about the specials, the cakes they offer, and even whether they were doing a St. Patrick's Day platter, which they are. Overall, it was a really good experience. Good food, great drink, and excellent customer service. I'd definitely recommend stopping by Taylor Sam's if you're in the area.
