This past weekend me and my bandmates tried Red Bank Diner after our gig at The Red Bank Porch fest from this past Saturday. The food was decent and the service was good. I tried the meatloaf open face sandwich blue plate special which all came with a dessert. If you're in Red Bank come try The Red Bank Diner. read more

After reading the reviews, I wanted to give this place a try. We came here for lunch and managed to find parking right in the front of the diner, just like in the movies! LOL. We were immediately seated after arriving. The diner is medium in size, with the seats in the front being booths that seat 3-4 guests at a time. However, the booths in the very middle are elevated, so guests need to take a step before sitting. The place follows a light brown color scheme, though the booth cushions are a reddish-burgundy color. Coffee beans sit on a mounted shelf on the wall and mirrors covered in artwork adorn the walls near the front. Regular tables can be seen near the back and counter seating is available as well. We ordered the following: Daughter ordered the Bleu Cheese Burger with tomato and onion and potatoes. She ordered it rare and was disappointed because it came out medium well to well done and it was hard to chew. It's funny how when you order it rare and get it well done! I figure it's because they're worried about cooking it rare and they don't trust their meat. So, she didn't feel like returning it back. It's not the first time and it won't be the last. The burger came with fries and that wasn't expected because the menu said that it came with potatoes. If she knew that she was going to get fries, she said that she would've gotten it well done. Hubs got the Red Bank Diner Omelette with grits and multigrain bread. The omelette came with roasted red peppers, mushrooms, avocado and Swiss cheese. Daughter thought the grits were good. Hubs thought it was nice to see grits for a change but it was a little under seasoned. He liked the mix of vegetables in the omelette but thought it was overcooked and tough. Lastly, I ordered the 2 eggs over easy with English muffin and liked it. This was ok. Service was quick and friendly. I've been wanting to try this place for a while and glad that we got a chance to try to this place! read more

I really wanted to love this place. It was so cute but it was average the potatoes that we ordered with onions had no other seasoning at all and the bacon I've never seen bacon that sliced so thin it was like three little sheets of paper so yeah, just average at best. read more

Red Bank Diner - Diners Near Me - Red Bank, New Jersey

I have to say, this diner is one of the best I've ever eaten at. The owners and servers are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The food is deliciously cooked, and the diner itself is always very clean and comfortable. I've always felt that diners are often underrated for sticking to an old-school style, when many could benefit from embracing modern option, like latte style coffees, non dairy alternatives, and accommodations for different food restrictions or lifestyles. This diner does exactly that. They even offer a Greek frappé, which I absolutely enjoyed. I can't wait to come back! read more

Came by as a large party for breakfast on a Monday morning. Service was quick and attentive. The food was pretty good. The pancakes were huge! I was surprised that the strawberry pancakes had strawberries inside rather than on top, but they were still decent. Overall the portion sizes were pretty large, and everyone seemed happy with their food. read more

On a Sunday morning I was very surprised to get a table for four right away for breakfast. Our waitress came over quick and took our order. She never gave us her name. Our food came out nice and warm. We all got the basic breakfast and they were all very good. One of us got the pancakes and the order was very large. The decor was very cool. The mirrors on the wall were very cool. Bathrooms were very clean. read more

I'm new in the area and I thought I would try this quant little spot. The food was great and the service was spot on. I will certainly return again. Thanks read more

Adorable little spot, cheery staff ready with a smile and a cup of coffee. Nicely executed diner standards, and they stretch with their specials. read more

Had a fantastic time here with really excellent food. New Jersey is renowned for diners and this is one of the great ones! Came here with a large group and the staff was extremely accommodating and we were served very quickly. I had the Mexican omelette and grits, really, really tasty! I enjoyed the food so much and I even got to try the french toast which was really fantastic. Extra points as I was visiting with my band and they let us stay a few extra hours with lots of coffee and water as we went over our upcoming set list. They didn't hurry us at all and didn't even get annoyed when we basically stayed until closing, they were so sweet. Enjoyed my time here and everyone had such positive things to say about the food! read more

I was very hungry and had some time to spend on myself, so I decided to eat at this diner. It had an outdoor patio entrance and was clean inside. My hostess was nice and waved me in to sit. I looked over the menu and decided on a grilled chicken pita that came with fries, coleslaw, and a pickle. I also ordered a diet coke. The waitress was very pleasant and took my order. The food came out hot and fresh. The coleslaw was excellent and made to my liking (I'm not a fan of mayo). The pickle was very cold and good. The fries were good, but the chicken gyro was very salty. I would hope they read this review and consider lowering the amount of salt on their chicken. read more

Lovely breakfast-luncheal with family member earliet today! Great food. Excellent service. Thank you. read more

Very typical diner food. Came for breakfast. Large menu. My husband got pancakes, eggs and sausage. The sausage are the fat links that he loves. I got the Florentine Benedict. It was good - english muffin could have been toasted a little more and it was lacking a little in seasoning. Home fries though are truly homemade and are very good. Good service, my coffee was never empty or cold! Definitely an old school diner - the dining area is a little dated but the restrooms are clean and definitely updated. read more

Fish & Chips one of the best ever. HOT tasty and nice firm texture. Chips were perfect. Waitress very nice, efficient and unobtrusive. This place is CLEAN and tidy. Would thoroughly recommend. Prices? It's Red Bank (expensive) but no more than anywhere else and I would say good value in that you get soup and a choice of dessert included. We'll be back when we visit the Basie! read more

Nice little place in Red bank, priced right and Good service. Needs a little more excitement in there presentation as the menue sounds better than the actual product. omelets were great!! read more

First time for breakfast and the service was excellent! I had the Hungry Man and it was delicious!

Headed over to Red Bank Dinner knowing in the past it was a good value and the wait staff was experienced and excellent. We were shocked and disappointed. A $10 Belgium Waffle with Bacon and one egg was now $19.50., since I was told I had to get two eggs, and two table spoons of real maple syrup, ($1.50) only enough to cover half the waffle, and I splurg on a fresh squeezed OJ, Not realizing I had a choice of sizes, was given a large $7.00, instead of the choice of a small ($5.25) by the waitress, total charge $26.50. My guest ordered the pancakes and two eggs $15.00, but did not come with syrup, as we had the keep asking the waitress to bring things that we ordered. And the regular syrup never came we had to order extra (a double order) of real syrup for the pancakes, which was only enough to cover one of the three thick dry pancakes, with two left on the plate w/o syrup. Entre, total with a small coffee, of $21.50. With $3.18 tax our breakfast bill totaled $51.18 and on top of which a $2.04 operating fee was added making a simple breakfast for 2 cost $53.22. Lesson learned, it wasn't worth it. read more

My server Lea was absolutely great very courteous and did not rush me and she actually smiled I enjoyed my Pastrami sandwich this place was clean I loved it read more

Breakfast & Lunch only. Excellent service, always. Standouts are the their salads in general, BBQ ribs, French dip roast beef sandwich. Chicken salad, egg salad platters and sandwiches. Diner basics are very good, burgers, pancakes, eggs, grilled cheese, fries. Owner always present and checks food. During the covid: I try to always be outside but the dining room, counter are open. I am happy to report they use real silverware & dishes outside. Especially helpful when it's windy, as it is today. Areas that need some attention. Omelets are sometimes overdone. Soups uneven, sometimes excellent, todays chicken soup was ok. Coffee is always fresh. Bathrooms are clean. Parking is easy and free this part of town. A big deal if you know Red Bank. Most of their business now appears to be take out and delivery. Owner has been improving the dinning room. I am a longtime customer, first review with current owner. read more

This is a great diner. It's not too big or too small, just the right size where you feel comfortable and relaxed but still with plenty of privacy. It's never packed, but it's never slow- a happy medium is the best to describe the pace/atmosphere. The service here was absolutely excellent. The hostess seated us promptly and I've had the pleasure of having Deidre (or D) wait on me twice. She is funny, professional, prompt, and caring. If you are in the mood for some chit chat, she's your waitress, or if you just want to simply order and relax- she's got you either way! The food here is consistently good, and consistency is one of the marks of a good diner to me. I've only had breakfast meals here, my favorite being the Italian omelette. It's loaded with mozzarella cheese and peppers and onions and the hash browns/potatoes that come with it are great. The Jersey omelette is pretty good too. It comes with broccoli and cheddar cheese, but I ask them to add ham...and then it's perfect! Toast is toast, but they serve it with a good amount of butter, warm, which I like. If you want to add jelly, just ask, they have all flavors... because everyone loves butter and jelly on their toast, right? Or, well, just me! ha! My friend has gotten the streak here twice as well as the pork chops. I'm not one to order steak at a diner but well he seems to eat anything but is a snob about it LOL! He devoured the steak, which means it is worth ordering! He also asked for TWO sides of rice and onion rings, which were also very good. The onions rings were nice and crispy, and he quickly gobbled them up. Ha! The steak typically comes with broccoli and mashed potatoes but you can order whatever side you like. The steak was cooked exactly to his liking. The pork chops were very good. I had a "chop" as they do serve nice portions here and it was pretty good! Who knew a diner would have decent chops!!! I have to add that the cream of turkey soup is also very good. If it's on the menu, try a bowl! Oh, and the coffee! It's good. Plus, if you get D as your waitress, she will always make sure your mug is full and hot! The Red Bank Diner also delivers, which is a nice plus... and they are on time and prompt! Overall this is just a great little spot. I feel like it's the kind of diner that you can just stop in, always get a table, consistently receive good food and service, and just have a nice time with your boyfriend, friend, parents, or just yourself. :) read more

I was in the Red Bank area around 4;30 pm on a weekday.  Anyone that knows New Jersey traffic knows that 4 pm starts bumper to bumper, everywhere.  I live about 90 minutes from Red Bank and I while I wasn't starving around 4:30, I didn't particularly want to wait until probably 6:30-7 when I would actually get home.  It seemed like a good idea to find a diner and stop.  I didn't know much about Red Bank, but I stumbled upon the Red Bank Diner and made my way there. Atmosphere: The Red Bank Diner is unique.  It's located on the main road and a local business.  It's not a standalone building and attached to several other restaurants.  The inside is clean and modern.  It has several booths and a small bar.  It reminds me more of a local restaurant than a diner, but that is okay! Coffee: The coffee was good.  What gave it an "A" is our server kept it refilled the entire time.  There was never a moment that my cup came close to being empty (and believe me, I can drink coffee). Food: The Red Bank Diner has all of the usual diner favorites.  There are plenty of breakfast, lunch, and dinner options.  I wasn't starving, but I was hungry.  It took me a while to decide what I wanted.  I randomly decided to order the St. Louis Burger. I had no idea why or even what it came with.  Honestly, I just did it by name and hmm: I've never been to St. Loius.  It was topped with cheese, mushrooms, and mozzarella cheese.  It also came with "cajun" fries which to be honest were just curly fries. The burger was delicious and while the "cajun fries" were good curly fries, I didn't taste much of the flavor I anticipated. Service: The server was great.  As I mentioned, he always kept my beverages (water and coffee) filled, and there was never a moment that I felt as if I needed anything.  Not only that, but my food came out quickly.  I could not have asked for a better experience. Overall Thoughts/Summary: I enjoyed the Red Bank Diner and had a great experience.  It's a nice local diner on the main street and I have no complaints! read more

If you have not eaten at the Red Bank Diner ever or haven't been in a while, you should make the trip over for dinner on Fridays and Saturdays. They stay open the two days until 9 and have some of the best food I've eaten in a while. The ribs fall right off the bone and the pork chop and steak are amazing. It also helps that ur wallet won't explode. read more

On yelp the order was $12. Put a note to add bacon and cheese, and that I would pay the difference. Order was over $16 when I picked it up.

Clean diner, fast and friendly service. Extensive menu. It has become my favorite breakfast spot in RedBank!

Very disappointed I'll need. Food quite mediocre. I got the turkey club. Turkey was like rubber. I couldn't eat it Burger was dry as a bone. I ordered california cheese burger. I got a plain dried out burger no cheese no mayo. I ordered Cole slaw pickles did not receive. I ordered iced coffee. I got a paper cup collapsing with a bunch of watery ice cubes . I spent $40 and I'm not a wealthy person but on weekends I dont want to cook. Well. I wont ever order from this diner again read more

We stopped at the Red Bank Diner on Thursday evening. This is a very un-diner like diner. I am used to diners having late hours or never closing but this place is done by 9:00 PM. They also have no parking lot, so take your chances with parking on Broad Street. As we walked in, a few customers were seated in the mostly empty dining room and the staff was seated at the counter. We were told to sit anywhere and a young server quickly brought us menus. To keep things simple we ordered a couple of cheeseburgers and a happy waitress. The wait was a bit longer than expected for food. An older gentleman folded up tables and chairs from outside and rolled them on in. A woman started sweeping the floor. Our food arrived and both burgers were overcooked. Fries were just frozen and deep fried. Pickles and slaw tasted tired. The happy waitress was missing the tomatoes. The young lady took the sandwich back to the kitchen and they corrected it. I don't know if it was just too late to get food that appeared to be prepared with care or if the chef had left and the dishwasher stepped in to cook but it was not a great first impression. The server was very polite but not a professional either. She didn't notice that we didn't have enough place settings or notice when drinks were empty. Next time I am in Red Bank, I will find a different place to try. read more

My experience was ruined by my waitress who was extremely rude and acted like a total bitch from the second I sat down. Other than that the food is up to par but expensive. At least the coffee menu is impressive. read more

This is a standard diner but I found the staff to be very accommodating. How you are treated is much more important than the food. My breakfast was mixed up but whatever sausages I ended up with were outstanding. It was a pleasant meal, sitting outside. I would recommend Red Bank Diner for a simple breakfast. read more

Went in today around 11:15a initially for breakfast, but changed our minds to paninis. I got the California panini with extra avocado..it was great...the chicken tasted phenomenal..well seasoned and everything else in the panini tasted fresh. My boyfriend ordered a pastrami corned beef panini which he thoroughly enjoyed. Both came with a pickle and a large portion of French fries. While the food was very tasty, the service was poor. Upon walking in, we had to seat ourselves as 2 servers walked past us and didn't say a word.. then wait for a manager to set down the menus. It wasn't even remotely busy. Our server was slowwww (had to get up to ask for anything) ..took 15 minutes after we asked to actually get the check...and our food took over 30 minutes to come out. But at least it came out tasting great. As long as you aren't in a rush, you'll enjoy this diner. read more

Worst service ever. I ordered the Texas burger. It was suppose to be with BBQ sauce but the damn burger was so dry due to the lack of sauce. Then to make matters worse you'd think our waitress, Deidra was attentive or just good at her job, right!? Hell to the NO NO NO she wasn't. She only came to us twice the entire time we were there. 1st to take our drink order and 2nd to take our food order. After that she just disappeared and not once came to check up on us. On top of all that my sister needed a refill of water and no sight of our terrible waitress. Then she gave us the check and wanted to start a convo with us. Plus we didn't even ask her for the check so what if we weren't done. read more

Some of the best burgers we have eaten in years! They were huge and a really great high quality taste. This is our new favorite diner!

Obviously the best diner. Always in good company. Food is great and everyone is so nice.

Food was still warm and tasted great. There were condiments and plasticware in the bag. No complaints!
