I did not have a good experience in this restaurant. It is very big, but I feel as though the service was very very slow. I sat there for a good 1015 minutes before anybody even came up to me and when they did, they only took my drink order and not my food order and then it just seemed like everybody was hanging out I ended up just walking out and leaving and not getting any food. read more

On Tuesday my husband and daughter decided to go for breakfast at the dinner to our surprise the restaurant was warm. When I ask the waitress why is it so warm is the air not working the response I got was I don't know!!! So I said to my husband and daughter get up we are leaving. Even though going there is easy for us location wise unfortunately that was the last time for me. Little things keep coming up and they are not cheap in prices. So long for us read more

First time here after passing it all the time and was pleasantly surprised. In orders the shrimp salad sandwich on toasted rye bread. It was really good. I don't like when places cut the shrimp up so tiny and this place did not so that at all. There were whole shrimp in it. My date ordered the burger deluxe andnhensoadnitnwas onay. His fries were really crispy and good. There was lots of seating if booths and a few tables. It was a nice crowd for early lunch. read more

Food was great. Quick service for breakfast. Staff was nice and the eggs and toast tasted great.

Really great breakfast. Pancakes are the perfect mix of crunchy and chewy. Surprisingly nice outdoor seating, considering the location.

NJ Here on Father's day... Service is ok considering. Wait why is the "otra" waitress reaching over me to fill the table caddy... I'm going to ignore that. Uh oh she just came back to refill the napkins. A loln "excuse me" perhaps would have been in order; did I get one? Am I being too picky? Ok hold up & W - T -__ (insert your favorite expletive) is this crawling on my plate. Where's my waitress, I debated telling the otra "happy waitress" about it why is she telling me no bug... Yes it a bug bucko lol Look I got ta go. Food is usually decent... I see they raised their prices. U decide let me know. Rise and shine; I think I'm going to hit the snooze button read more

Rise N Shine - Rise & Shine - Diners Near Me - Fanwood, New Jersey

have been here multiple times and always meet my expectations. I love their chicken and shrimp quesadillas and shrimp scampi! The service is good and the waitress is usually very friendly. The place always looks busy but still is able to make the orders in only 15-20 minutes after I call in which is always great. All in all, I think its a great restaurant and the food and service is amazing, the atmosphere is pretty okay in my opinion. read more

I give this place 1 star because the home fries and beef sausage were prepared to my liking. However, the hostess/waitress attitude was terrible and because of her nasty attitude, she was the cause of the other waitress not receiving a tip. Also the bathroom was disgusting. See the pic. This was my first and LA:ST time eating at this smoke filled, unclean establishment with the nasty hostess/waitress!!! read more

I ate here today because my family lives in Plainfield and my sister likes this place. So I decided to give it a try. My first impression of this place upon walking in is it's a little outdated needs some work. The service was extremely slow although the restaurant was not crowded. They tell you to seat yourself anywhere so we choose a window booth. It was covered with crumbs from previous patrons. I guess they don't clean after each visitor. I don't eat meat so I ordered the breakfast quesadillas with cheese only. The waiter was writing on a notepad which was normal. We waited awhile for our food. It finally comes and low and behold it has bacon on it. They walk away so quickly after dropping off your food. I had to track another waitress down to say I ordered it without meat. She snatched the plate from my hand proceeded to speak in her language to the other workers. I asked my sister and brother-in-law if they heard my order they both said yes, you said cheese only no meat. I said ok I'm not f'n crazy so why she mad at me. She finally brings back a new order as I was about to say thanks she slams the plate down in front of me. I checked to see if there was meat, there wasn't any. I started eating my food and my family is now done because they took long with my order. The quesadilla was good the home fries was dry and crunchy and didn't taste fresh. I ordered a side of grits that was good . So after we finished eating we're waiting about 20 minutes to receive the bill. Finally we all get up to walk to the register and to my surprise they were hand writing up the bill and had multiple calculators adding up our bills. I was shocked we're in 2024 and they're using calculators to add up bill and hand write out what you had and taking price from menu . They really need to get some updated equipment in this place. Like I said outdated down to the billing system smh. I won't be returning the entire process took several hours. read more

Rise N Shine - BLT with Fries - Diners Near Me - Fanwood, New Jersey

I love this place. Back in the day the place needed some work but nowadays its owned and operated all in the family, the servers are awesome. The menu has a Spanish influence to it and it makes for a really unique spot to stop in. My favorite things to get here is the French casserole and a side of disco fries. Can never go wrong. The atmosphere is typical, a diner experience but the atmosphere is not what I came here looking for. I came for my casserole and fries and they never leave me upset! read more

We were seen and seated promptly. I was very specific with my order. Grilled cheese sandwich with Swiss and Monterey Jack cheese with bacon on rye bread. Exactly what I asked for no complaints. The apple juice was a little sweet, but I just asked for a cup of ice and it was fine. read more

This place fell off the rails. Service is embarrassingly bad. Gave them two chances, same bad service each time. Food is only OK, not enough to make up for it. read more

This is a great breakfast spot that you've probably driven by countless times. Stop in on a weekend morning for great pancakes, corned beef hash, or anything really. Recently tried their tuna melt which came with perfectly crispy fries. Now I'm a fan of their lunch too! read more

This place was ok. They were fast and able to seat us within a few minutes. I was hesitant on going here but decided to give it a try I was somewhat pleased. The decor is a bit outdated table and curtains look very old. The home fries were very dry with no flavor. I asked for cheese and on my grits and it was literally the cheese that comes in the individual plastic wraps slapped on top and not melted. Kind of a disappointment there. However I was pleasantly surprised with the pancakes they were really good. I may go back here for the pancakes if nothing else they were really really good. Crisp around the edges and soft in the middle!!! Sorry was so hungry I forget to take pics!!!! read more

This is an order of chicken in the basket. They charge $9.99 for it. 2 medium sized pieces and a wing and a drumstick that are about 2 inches long each. I sent it back to the kitchen and told them I'm not paying for it. I can't believe they sent that out to my table. The restaurant had 2 other customers in it. This was my first and last time here. Those 2 pieces were the size of a McDonald's chicken nugget. read more

Rise N Shine - At the Rise And Shine Diner in Scotch Plains NJ. $9.99 for this? 2 mini pieces of chicken and 2 decent sized ones? Ridiculous - Diners Near Me - Fanwood, New Jersey

New favorite local breakfast place! I've lived around the corner for awhile and have never been until my car being in the shop forced me to take a walk... My food arrived quicker than I could scroll through my Twitter feed. Eggs were delicious and coffee had me asking for refills. Bottom line, portions were huge, food was excellent, service was great and the bill was affordable. They even let me hang out for 2 hours to finish my studies on a busy Friday rush! Will definitely be back soon! read more

Rise N Shine - French Egg Casarole for the win. Potatoes, peppers, onions, mushrooms, ham, and swiss cheese topped with 2 poached eggs. - Diners Near Me - Fanwood, New Jersey

3.5/5. I was having my car fixed, so I decided to eat breakfast during the wait. Rise N Shine is a quaint little diner which looks nice inside and out. I ate indoors, and was seated quickly. Their service was surprisingly quick. I got my food literally five minutes after ordering. The omelette was decent but a bit too greasy honestly. Nice place for a one-off breakfast, but I can't see myself becoming a regular here. read more

Rise N Shine - Diners Near Me - Fanwood, New Jersey

Isn't the idea behind a panini that when you press it the bread gets crisp, the cheese melts and you can eat it like a sandwich. My Greek chicken panini was so soggy everything fell off of it when it tried to pick it up. Chicken had so much gristle that I could barely cut it with my knife. French fries were sprayed with that crap that makes them look alien, and taste bleh! You can grow old waiting for a waitress even though only 3 tables were occupied. Sad, this place used to be so much better! read more

I went to this diner on Wednesday, June 7, 2017. The food was horrible. My florentine omlette was burnt. My whole wheat toast was burnt. My home fries were burnt. The food tasted as if they don't clean the grill often. Yuck! I cannot fathom why the waitress brought the plate to me when everything on it looked burnt to a crisp. I am not a fan of sending my food back. Therefore, I paid the bill and left a tip without complaining to anyone. I only gave them one star because I could not give them zero stars. I will never go back there to eat ever again in this lifetime or the next. Erinn read more

This was a take out order...maybe it will be different eating it there. BUT I ordered a feta omelette with home fries and Rye toast, the eggs weren't that great; tasted powdery. The toast was soggy and home fries were awful. Pancakes were a nice portion, but the butter or syrup was just off putting, taste wise. It was filling...if that helps. read more

Been here a few times and always enjoy their breakfasts. Was so good that my son and I came for lunch and had breakfast food. Prices are comparable with other diners and is close to home. You also get decent portions for what you pay for. Definitely a place to go to. read more

Horrible. The food was bad, service was bad. The fries were hard. The booth area wasn't very clean (before COVID). Haven't visited since, I do see a lot of cars parked and wonder why people go there. I think it's more of a senior, recurring crowd. Went for breakfast with coworkers that slept over and was embarrassing taking them there. Hope they improve or was just my experience. read more

Good place if you want a big breakfast. The food is good, the last time I went I customized the Spinach & Feta omelette to add steak & mushrooms. It was pretty good, a little bland for my taste, I had to add salt, pepper & hot sauce to make it good for me. I previously had the Corned Beef Hash & Eggs, that was good, I'd get it again. Their pancakes really are great though, big & fluffy! Great option if you want breakfast & want to avoid the sub-par, overpriced, only diner in the area(scotchwood). read more

IF YOU'RE A BREAKFAST LOVER TRY THIS PLACE Place is infested of courteousness and convenient service. Big pancakes, french toast, and Belgian waffles all served warm perfectly!

This is one of our local go-to diners. Great service from friendly staff, good coffee, hot fresh made-to-order breakfast. I've only had the turkey club sandwich for lunch, but it's just as fresh and satisfying as their breakfasts. I like the open layout of the restaurant as well. read more

Edited: The service is solid and friendly. They finally fixed the french toast fiasco they created when they started using sandwich bread. BUT...the place is filthy. Dirty. Yuck. Today, I saw mouse poop on the window ledge. No joke. Go inside, make a left toward the coat rack and look at the window sill. Poop everywhere! 2011: Wonderful breakfast food with HUGE portions. I am a fan of the pancakes and french toast. Service is fast and courteous. read more

Great breakfast spot. The eggs Benedict are pure perfection. The corned beef hash it's delightful. I also tried the scrapple (open your minds people!) and, although I prefer it a bit crisper and will order it so next time, the seasoning was so unique and tasty that it must be a personal recipe. The serve was outstanding and everything was fresh. read more
