Gyro Wrap
Robyn H.

I lovea jersey diner. 24/7 and a nice free lot. Per diner etiquette, beautiful cakes and pies are at the entrance. Service was quick and our waitress was lovely and attentive. My friend thought the buffalo wings were great, they are not breaded. The gyro wrap was huge and more like a panini to me. It came with fries and slaw for $15.98 . The tzatziki sauce is homemade and you should ask for an extra on the side to dip.

Dried baked meatloaf with Sad gravy!

Went to this Diner after a evening of shopping. What a mistake. Should have waited to eat. The diner was very decorative inside. Very pretty esthetically. The waitress was very nice and attentive. I had a dinner meal which includes a soup. Sad to say that the soup was the best part of the meal. I ordered the Baked Meatloaf. What a disaster!!! SEE THE PHOTO! First of all not house made, very hard and the gravy was a horror! The meal did not sit well with my stomach. Will not be going back! This is a case where the rating is deceiving!

The root one Diner has a warm and friendly environment. The staff was all very kind and the service was very quick. I have to say that everyone at my table loved what they got and have lots left over as the portion sizes were very large. I personally got a Cobb salad with grilled chicken. I don't eat any dairy so I was able to customize the dish a little bit and they were very happy to assist in doing so.

Grilled Cheese Sandwich for kids

It's truly amazing that so many food items can be offered, delivered quickly and taste great. We stopped there with a very "hangry" granddaughter just leaving a graduation. We were seated at a booth. What? No jukebox? Dianna was our server and did a great job making sure our food came out quickly and accurately. My granddaughter ordered a chocolate milk shake and grilled cheese sandwich. We took back half the sandwich and all the steak fries which came with it. I ordered the Duo Deli sandwich which consisted of pastrami, corned beef and swiss cheese with cole slaw on the side as well as steak fries. They supposedly give the option for hot or cold, but mine came out hot without being asked. My wife ordered the quesadilla without anything added. Loaded with peppers, onions and cheese, she could only eat half as well and took the rest home for dinner. The cost was very reasonable, easy parking, quick service and delicious food. 5 Stars!!!

Come for lunch and make sure to grab the soup! Came here for a lunch with a larger group and we had great service and a stellar lunch through and through! The business lunch is quite the deal but I opted for a tuna salad club sandwich - wanted that bacon. I'm really glad that lunch came with soup because I was going to order one anyways! The chicken noodle soup hit the spot and was very tasty. The beef and vegetable also looked good and got rave reviews. Our server was so nice, even asked a companion who initially said no soup after he brought everyone soup definitely convinced another serving. My club had delicious tuna salad, lots of bacon, and the wheat bread was toasted nicely. The pickle and coleslaw also went a long way, especially with those nicely fried sweet potato fries! Great spot indeed!

I love the pancakes and eggs, especially love the biscuits and gravy. The cheesesteak is great so are the burgers... I can go on and on. And it's not only the food.

I of course used Yelp to find a good diner on my drive from New Brunswick to Atlantic City. I found Broad Street located in Keyport not far from the Garden State Parkway. It's your "classic" diner which has that 1950's vibe with the exterior and interior decor. Elvis paraphernalia is featured here. They had a busy lunch crowd. I sat at the counter and ordered a McCaffrey Wrap which comes with grilled chicken, bacon, cheddar jack cheese, lettuce, tomato and honey mustard. It was really good. The side of sweet potato fries were crispy and seasoned just right. The staff were courteous and the service quick. There is a small parking lot that can accommodate about five cars. There was plenty of on street parking. The downtown area was nice and you can take a nice walk after dining here to the waterfront.

Well, if this isn't egg on my face, then I don't know what is. I've been eating takeout from Broad…read moreStreet Diner for months now. Months! It only occurred to me recently that I'd never said a proper thank-you. That's shameful. That's like borrowing your neighbor's snowblower all winter and forgetting to nod at them come spring. So here it is: thank you, Broad Street Diner. This is the review I should've written long ago. Four stars. Not five. Let's not go nuts. Perfection is the business of angels, and diners are run by people: gruff, charming, overworked, underpaid people who know the power of a hot turkey sandwich in a cold world. And God bless them for it. The daily specials are the real poem here. You know how people used to say, "You can't beat the value"? They stopped saying it because there's no value left in anything. But then Broad Street Diner waltzes in, swinging a Cajun meatloaf platter like a peace treaty, and suddenly I'm eating like it's 1993 again. The economy may be a flaming zeppelin plummeting into the sea, but somehow these folks figured out how to serve a full dinner: entree, soup, salad, dessert, the whole shebang, for less than the cost of a movie ticket and a bottle of water. I've had their fried clams, their fish and chips, their crab cakes, and each time I think, "Yes. This is civilization." Is it fancy? Hell no. But it's honest. It's generous. It's warm in all the places the news is cold. Do yourself a favor: stop pretending you're above diners. You're not. None of us are. We're all just scrambled eggs in the cosmic skillet. Broad Street Diner gets that.

I was just there and the waitress seated a couple first who came after us. That's unacceptable and…read moreunprofessional. We should have been seated first and she lied and said the couple came before us. Never eating in this horrible place again. She should be ashamed of herself!!

I've visited Crave a few times this week and have overall enjoyed the experience, but I wanted to…read moreshare a small concern. During my recent visits, I noticed some inconsistencies in portion sizes. At first, I thought it might just be a one time thing, but today I had a chance to observe a few orders being prepared while waiting for my husband's smoothie. It seemed like some bowls were filled above the measuring line, while mine was slightly under. I completely understand that things can vary during busy times, but I just wanted to mention it as feedback. Consistency in portions would really help ensure all customers feel they're getting the same value. I'm sharing this with the intention of being helpful, as I do enjoy coming here and hope to continue supporting your business.

Was in the area and decided to stop in. There really aren't many non-name brand coffee shops…read morearound, so I appreciate the effort to bring something local to the neighborhood! I enjoyed the vibe right away. It felt welcoming, and I could hear people around me enjoying their meals, which is always a good sign. I only ordered coffee (there's just one size option), and it was good and hot -- although my lid was cracked. They do offer either a to-go cup or a mug if you're staying, which I liked. I do wish there were a few more small Danish or pastry options to grab with a coffee. Sometimes you just want a simple little something on the side. The only thing I was curious about was the music. Worship songs were playing the entire time. I wasn't sure if the owners are religious or if the staff just didn't realize what station was on. It's definitely a bold choice and might not resonate with everyone, depending on their beliefs. That said, it didn't ruin my visit -- just something I noticed. Overall, I'd return and would be happy to stop by again for another review soon. **After posting and reading other reviews... maybe I came (in the morning) at a bad time and there weren't pastries available?
