I've been in the neighborhood for a couple of years, and I can't believe today's the first time I've tried the RiverView Diner. I love everything about it. The food is great, the service is fantastic, the people who run it are super cool... it's all around amazing. I work and usually eat in Manhattan, but I think I will start hanging out here more now that I've found this warm local place. read more

I visited this diner for breakfast this morning and had a very good omelette. The food was enjoyable, and the staff was friendly and attentive throughout my visit. However, as I was leaving, I noticed a display of U.S. Presidents' photos. Most of the photos were neatly displayed, including President Trump and other presidents, but President Obama's photo appeared noticeably different and was not displayed in the same manner as the others. Whether intentional or not, the presentation stood out to me and left me feeling uncomfortable. I believe businesses should strive to present historical and political figures consistently and respectfully. Unfortunately, this observation detracted from an otherwise positive dining experience. While I appreciated the food and service, I do not plan to return. read more

The service was very good and the staff was kind. My meal wasn't that good though. I ended up wasting 80% of it because the eggs were wayyy too fully loaded and the. Sausages were too large and I just didn't like it read more

It's great to have this diner in the neighborhood. It's very spacious, and the staff are friendly and helpful. They have their own parking lot. The menu is extensive, and they have a great selection of baked goods. They also make their own Challah bread, which I've gotten a couple of times. My go-to's are: - scrambled eggs, corn beef hash with home fries and an English muffin. - chocolate chip muffin, toasted with butter - beef Gyro platter (the tzatziki sauce is phenomenal!) - pancakes - fried zucchini sticks (hits the spot every time! I like to dip mine into the tzatziki sauce) It's a friendly place serving comfort meals. read more

This local diner is always consistently very good! Carlos gives great service and I am always happy when he waits on us. The menu has a lot of choices so it's great for breakfast lunch or dinner or to pop in for a snack. I had grilled chicken and my husband had a hamburger. We think the food is just as good and in some cases even better, than most of the fancy places in the area. If you have not been, definitely stop in and try this place! read more

I came back to this diner after a yelp experience. They have a big size parking lot and a lot of stairs to climb to enter the establishment. Once inside the restaurant you are greeted and seated. The place is huge and spacious while offering seats all over. We had a booth! Our waiter was Rock-O, he was very thorough and engaging, providing great interaction and conversation. Rock-O went above and beyond effortlessly, displaying fantastic customer service to not only my table but to his section as well. I had pancakes that were perfectly created, turkey sausages, and egg whites. My plus one had traditional French toast, bacon, cheese eggs. The food was very good. The only downside to the restaurant is the air conditioner being on high causing the food to get cold fast. You needed a shovel to get it down faster to avoid the food temperature change. Besides all that miner dislike, everything was good. read more

We came here for brunch, and River View Diner really hit the mark. I ordered the waffle with two eggs, and both were delicious -- the waffle had that perfect crisp edge, and the eggs were just how I like them with salt, pepper, and ketchup. My spouse got pancakes, and we shared bites fluffy, warm, and comforting. The coffee was fresh and flavorful, a must for any brunch stop. The Staff was super friendly and attentive without being overbearing. They checked in to see if we needed anything and were quick to clean and reset tables as guests left. It felt organized and welcoming from start to finish. AmWhat makes this place stand out is the vibe. The walls are covered in international currency and photos of old Hollywood stars, which gives the diner so much personality. It's casual and nostalgic in the best way. Bonus -- they're open 24/7 and there's plenty of parking around the building. Overall, this diner is a solid choice whether you're coming for breakfast, brunch, or a late-night bite. We'll definitely be back! read more

We frequent this place on weekends and it's no surprise it's always busy. The food is fresh, the French toast my usual go to, but they recently added a breakfast burrito (the farmers wrap) which is perfect is your extra hungry. Today I went with the eggs Benedict which is consistently good. Would recommend this place to anyone, no matter the hour. Their breakfast is what's truly best in my opinion read more

I have been here twice within the past two years for both Breakfast and Lunch. Staff is very friendly. During the summer months it is a little hot on the inside, they definitely could use better air conditioning. Both breakfast and lunch- portion sizes are huge. Breakfast is solid, I had some of the best corned beef hash here. Lunch I have had the French Onion which I wasn't a fan of and felt like the croutons were stale. Their turkey club was also pretty dry compared to others I have had in the area. On a positive note, it's right next to Palisades Hospital within walking distance and is a much better option than hospital food they offer there. read more

There are a lot of diners in New Jersey and River View is a good one. I was in the mood for a burger and noticed a few unusual picks. I chose the Texas burger. It came with chili on the patty and salsa on the side. I liked it! Not a gourmet meal by any means but I was happy. The service is standard and does a good job. After a handful of visits I never had an issue. Do not hesitate to try this diner out. read more

Regular breakfast-brunch spot. Consistently good, fast and friendly service. Love this spot. read more

RiverView Diner truly has some of the best chicken parm in the area. The chicken is perfectly crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and smothered in a rich, flavorful marinara sauce with just the right amount of melted cheese. Generous portions as well. This place is a gem--great food, welcoming atmosphere, and people who actually care. Highly recommend. read more

Just ordered take out for Thanksgiving dinner. Outstanding....Every item was incredible. Thank you for being open!! The local first responders appreciate being able to still have a turkey dinner while working. The fact that the food was awesome makes it so much better. Phenomenal dinner for us. Thank you. read more

The service was great. I had a tuna melt and chocolate shake. The melt was great but pricey at $17. The shake tasted like chocolate milk (like they mixed Hershey syrup with milk than use ice cream. read more

Went here for breakfast with a couple of friends from out of town. Steak and eggs were good, drinks were stiff, service was great. Family owned and would visit again. read more

The food and service is always wonderful Our waiter was awesome and the owners are also friendly and wonderful read more

The food is yummy. The owner is often there and he is super nice and welcoming. It's like being part of their family.

We ordered the steak and they said this was the way they serve it. But the truth is this is not a sirloin steak. This looks more like ground beef and it's not even cooked right. Tried to eat around it but it was not sitting well. The omeletes we had were good. The French toast was okay, it was more toasted bread since the egg/milk mixture was light as if they ran out. read more

Visiting NY just for the night and wanted some breakfast right out of the city. Didn't disappoint. Not only was the service perfect, you are greeted by the staff with a friendly , good morning! Assuming they are twins, the sister were so nice and fun. They were teasing each other back and forth - it was just a great overall experience. Clean, delicious breakfast. We will certainly be back!! read more

Horrible diner. Food is terrible but what's worse is the owner's behavior. We live next door and would easily frequent a diner regularly if the food was even semi-decent. This is not. We gave it a few tries when we first moved in 10 years ago. And again recently another two times. Pretty sure my spouse got food poisoning one of these times. Save yourself and go somewhere else. Background on the owner's behavior - My son went to the daycare next door and the owner would get so upset if a parent parked in his EMPTY lot during pick up/drop off. One time he banged on the side of my car which scared my son and made him cry. It was unnecessarily hostile. I get that it's his side of the parking lot but it never disrupted his business. read more

First time here. There is no actual "river view" but that didn't bother me. The atmosphere is nice and the restaurant is clean. I would say -- an upscale diner -- as opposed to a typical NJ greasy spoon kind of place. Service was great, fast and friendly. I had the London Broil dinner special and it was very good. French Onion Soup was ok but nothing special. I prefer when the cheese is melted and charred a bit ... not just melted. Also, I'm not sure what kind of cheese they used, maybe provolone. I prefer swiss and/or gruyere. Anyway, their French Onion was just okay. My baked potato was not good, to be honest. It was more like a reheated baked potato, that had never been fully cooked. I would definitely go again but next time I would order something different and get fries or mashed potatoes. The sign out front says, "Open 24 Hours" but they told us since Covid hit, they are not open 24 hours anymore. I'm guessing lack of help. read more

One of the cleanest restaurants/diners I've ever stepped foot into. The food was very good and came out very fast. Service was also super quick and very friendly. I was very happy with the chicken parm with French fries. In good ole diner fashion I added mozzarella on my fries with a side of gravy. It was delicious. I'd be happy to come back again, I was pretty surprised to see that they weren't more busy around dinner time. I'll be sure to stop in more often considering it's one of the better diners in the area. read more

This is a traditional Jersey diner located in North Bergen where one finds the typical hamburgers, pancakes, sandwiches and desserts on their menu. I have eaten here several times in the past and the food has always been good. My partner and I were in the area and wanted to stop in for dinner. They have their own parking lot which is a plus. The establishment has gone through a renovation and looks fantastic. We were greeted by the host that lead us to a table overlooking partially the Hudson River. We ordered the chicken salad wrap and Greek wrap which came with crispy fries. All in all, Excellent experience! Staff is excellent. Very clean and well managed place . Food was good and reasonable priced. If you are in the area, give this place a try. read more

I called the diner at around 9:05 and asked if they were still open. Owner said that they would be closing in 20 minutes. Got there exactly 20 minutes later and the door was locked. False advertising. Don't post on your website that you are open until 10pm. Wasted my time. read more

You guys know I feel about diners, I'm never impressed. I will say the Banana Walnut Pancakes were good. However, after the meal... the food just didn't sit right. I try avoiding diners but it was really late. Sorry to say, because of that I really do not want to try anything else from here. I think this was the last of my late-night dinner experiences I will have for a while. Til the next post, be well Yelpers. - @ShaMuzik read more

A great stop. All the food is good, and I especially like the soups (esp pea), mousakka and chicken dinners. Atmosphere is fabulous.

Been here a couple of times and it's fun, typical diner. You can come in for brekkie looking like a total schlub and they don't care. Two sisters run it, ones name is Cynthia and they are a hoot watching them interact. They are super friendly and really hustle to seat you quickly. Basic diner food that is tasty AND a full bar. Highly recommend. Eric was our server and he is simply adorable and made our experience fantastic #riverviewdiner #boomerbitchreviews read more

Called in a brunch / lunch order and was greeted by with great customer service over the phone. Even with my significant other making amendments to the order in the background, the individual taking my order was extremely patient and courteous. I ordered a chicken Cesar wrap, which I normally pick the chicken out of due to blandness. Not this one! The chicken was warm and very well seasoned. The Cesar dressing was delicious, not overly garlicky. We also ordered a steak and eggs breakfast. The steak smelled and looked great. We were a little disappointed that it was medium rare as opposed to medium well. We ended up cooking it a little more. Other than that, our meals were delish. The inside is beautiful and spacious. Will be looking to dine in the next time we are in the area. read more

I've been to many diners over the years and this one just felt average. The food was okay and despite the name, our seating location did not have any view of the river lol. The food got to our table very quickly so that's a big plus. If you want exceptional food, I'd probably try somewhere else. Are you really hungry and want to get just good/average food but get it to the table asap? Then this is the place for you. Prices were reasonable and on par with other diners. read more

Used to like this diner for a quick yummy meal. Last time we were here they really weren't shy about talking about the wonderful MAGA world that was coming! In such a diverse area it was scary to hear their opinions. I felt uncomfortable and I don't feel welcome to go back. read more

Great food great service great vibes we love coming here for lunch or dinner. The owner is very nice.

I dined at the Riverview Diner and had a great experience. The food was delish and the staff was friendly:

Don't let the rather plain outside scare you away. Inside is fresh; a newly remodeled look. Although there is no actual river view, the staff is friendly and accommodating. Food is good and diner quality, which i find satisfying. Went by this place for years and finally gave it a try, not disappointed. read more

Twice in one week I had an amazing experience here. Drove past unknown times and finally stopped in. Should have done it much sooner. Service, AMAZING, everyone is genuinely nice and very quick to say hello, thank you or pull out your chair. Food, WOW, WOW!! My wife and I ordered, we purposely timed it. (Eggs, french toast, sausage, home fries and toast) Literally under 4 minutes, YES 4 MINUTES!!!! Hot, plentiful and very good. Coffee, great blend and as much as you wanted without someone hovering. Will we be back, ABSOLUTELY! read more

Have driven past this diner for forever and a half and finally got a chance to eat here! My friend took me for lunch on a Sunday and this place was busy! By the time we left there was a wait. Staff is SUPER DUPER friendly. My friend has been a long time customer and they treat her like family. Super sweet. Before we got seated we passed by some pastries which looked bomb. I'll have to check them out next time. We were greeted immediately upon seating by our server and we ordered our coffee. I ordered the Mexican Omelette (tomato, peppers, jalapeño, cheddar cheese) with the side of home fries. And we shared pancakes together. The food came out in a flash! So quick! The omelette was cooked great and they didn't skimp out in the cheese. Their home fries were yummy too. Nice and crispy! The pancakes were good too! Huge and fluffy. I didn't need to add butter or anything. Tasted great as is. Our server was great with refilling our coffee and water throughout our whole visit. All staff members were wearing masks and the tables were fairly apart. The booths were all filled and the middle tables were as well. I didn't feel uncomfortable though since it's pretty spacey. Definitely your typical homey diner. I have no complaints! read more

Ii was craving French toast and eggs for dinner, so we stopped by river view diner since it was on our way back home. The French toast was one of the best I have had vs other diners in Hoboken, Cliffside park and seacaucus. Now only was it thick, but had a great crunch to it without being burned. Other places tend to be burnt, soggy and floppy. I also ordered eggs, over easy with rye toast. The toast was also toasted perfectly and buttered so it was already melted perfectly in the toast. The eggs were also cooked to perfection- most places never get this right and over cook them. The service was great, everyone was friendly and I also stole some of my boyfriends delicious fries with gravy. Oh, I will mention this is THE cleanest diner I have ever been to. It's actually cleaner than some "upscale" restaurants I have been to. Give this place a try. We will be back for sure! read more

I live in the Weehawken Heights and the River View Diner is right down the cliff. I've driven past many times. But my son ate there recently and enjoyed himself so I was eager to see firsthand. Between the rowdy brunch bars and twee coffee houses in Hoboken, the hokey pancake "factories" in Edgewater and the old school diners in Hackensack is this establishment. We were greeted pleasantly and directed to an open booth in the front of the house. We were promptly served coffee and placed our orders. I ordered the rarely seen grits with my omelette, hot and tasty with the addition of some salt and syrup. Jon had a large order of fluffy scrambled eggs and a variety of breakfast meats. He wolfed that down with crispy home fries and toast. You'll notice immediately how immaculately clean the place is, trimmed in dark woods and comfortable red covered seats and chairs. Instead of being assaulted by too loud popular music or groups of families with young children celebrating birthdays the music was gentle and the diners sophisticated and enjoying easy conversation. This is just the kind of diner I'd been looking for. read more

I'm a big fan of diners. Have been coming to this diner for years and it looked better after a renovation a few years ago. This is a family run business. Owners and staff are very friendly. Having its own parking lot is a big plus. It's also open 24 hours on weekends. Had a late dinner around 9pm on a Friday night. Restaurant has lots of seatings and five of us were seated in a booth. We love being able to order our favorite breakfast even for dinner time. Western omelette with sweet potato fries, breakfast samplers along with French toast with Taylor ham were all tasty and big portions. Banana pancake was okay. Spaghetti with meatballs were good but wish there would be more sauce. Complimentary bread basket with garlic bread was not bad. Would definitely come back over and over again. Great location by the Hudson River too. read more

Came by for a late bite and ordered a chicken salad club sandwich. Greeter and waiter where not friendly. Waiter acted as if he was doing me a favor by serving me. I felt very unwelcomed here. Chicken salad club sandwich was just ok. Nothing special and with no seasoning. I won't be coming back. People working here have an attitude and the food is not that great to be putting up with their nonsense. read more
