    Lovely diner in New Jersey. I ordered a beef wrap and it was delicious. The beef was thinly sliced and cut into two halves. Service was excellent and the atmosphere very nice. Definitely would recommend this diner!

    We arrived at 9 pm on Sunday. Their hours are until 10pm. After a few minutes a server approached us and said they were no longer seating tables. I confirmed if they were supposed to be closing at 10 and she said we do but we decided to close earlier today. I was upset by this because my Dad and I had a long day at the hospital visiting a family member and when we wanted to eat my Dad had suggested "another diner". I pushed for us to come to this one because it was closer to home and had better reviews than his suggestion. I was highly disappointed that we were turned away because "they decided to close early". My dad is retired from the restaurant industry and even he said he'd never heard of anything like that before. After this sour experience I'm not sure I'll be coming back again.

    Easy to get to location. Staff was very nice and attentive. Food came out in a reasonable time. Nice clean looking diner. I got a special for lunch, which was very good. The Monte Carlo and we also got the chicken quesadilla. It was huge.

    This diner looks clean. It looks like an updated diner. We went on Saturday morning and there wasn't a wait and there wasn't many people dining in. The first thing that caught my eye is when I asked for the kids menu they stated they didn't offer one. I was a bit surprised for a diner not to offer a kids menu. This establishment is an average dining experience. The food wasn't out of the normal. The prices were pretty high, especially for diner food. I personally wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again but if I was in the area it was okay.

    Nice and clean diner and the service was decent. The food was great so I would actually go back and try different dishes from the menu!

    This place is fairly clean, has a nice sized parking lot and offers a pretty robust menu. The service was not the friendliest but the hostess was very nice and welcoming. My issue is the relative value to food quality ratio wasn't that good here. In short, they charge pretty high prices for a diner compared to some other nearby options and the food wasn't so awesome that I thought - well gee, I'd sure come here again given what I just paid. The French dip sandwich that was recommended to me was fine but not $20+ dollar fine. Fries were crispy but overall the sandwich itself lacked any real flavor and the meat was kind of dry. The good au jus gravy was what sort of saved the dish. The burger was average. Patty was ok but not particularly juicy or memorable. The price of the burger here was much higher than a nearby option that tasted better IMO so again, that's what was the sticking point for me. If the service was amazing I'd prob make this 3 stars but it was spotty and at times unresponsive. It wasn't particularly busy when I went on a Sunday morning so not sure what's going on there. Either way, I think it's better to consider other diner options if possible.

    We stopped by for breakfast and couldn't have been happier! I ordered the carnitas quesadillas breakfast and it was delicious. Runway is a proper diner, I noticed all the great food around me. A must try!

    HUGE glass of FRESH SQUEEZED OJ

    Best diner I have been to and I have been to many. HUGE glass of FRESH SQUEEZED OJ! At other diners it's usually generic stuff out of a can, but not here. A little more expensive than other diners, but well worth it.

    While meandering around our local neighborhood, my husband and I stumbled upon this tiny diner and…read moregave it a try. We're so glad we did, because this hole in the wall turned out to be a diamond in the rough. With a nondescript exterior and limited signage, Foodies Diner is easy to miss. It's in an area with mainly houses and mixed use commercial buildings, but the space inside is cozy. I especially appreciated the way the owner greeted everyone who enters and thanked everyone who leaves with notable warmth and small-town friendliness. The menu reads like a true diner - with all-day breakfast and brunch options, as well as standard lunch fare. We ordered a Santa Fe salad and an L.A. burger - which comes with avocado, bacon, onion, lettuce, and tomatoes. The burger was pretty standard, but having it delivered on a warm brioche bun feels a little bit special. The accompanying fries were also great - crisp and potatoey on the inside. The salad, on the other hand, was a near triumph. Served on a large platter, there was a small field of well-seasoned chicken, shredded cheddar, vegetables, avocado, pico de gallo, and - best yet - some pieces of warm, toasted pita. I even sprinkled some pieces of bacon from my burger into this salad, and wow did that take it over the top. I dug into this salad with fair gusto and would absolutely come back for it...which is saying something, since I wouldn't expect to fall in love with a salad at a diner. Service was fantastic, and we were pleased with how reasonably priced our meal turned out to be. There's plenty of parking - either right out front or in the lot further back.

We came to Boulevard Diner in North Bergen because it's one of the few that's still open 24/7. We walked in at 3AM (drunken nights... what can I say?) and were seated immediately.

The menu has a diverse variety of food and drinks to choose from. It has anything and everything on it... from your classic American fare to international options. They also have a full bar, Happy Hour, and specials. We were given the overnight menu. I noticed that their prices online are $3-$4 lower than the prices in person. Very odd... that alone turns me off LOL. Since it was so late, the diner wasn't busy. Service was super quick. We ordered... *Cuban Panini served with coleslaw and fries $18.95 - I wasn't expecting a diner to give me a Cubano that rocked my world... so for my adjusted expectations, this was mid. The pork they used was grocery store quality pre-sliced meat. The bread was limp and not crispy. They didn't even put mustard or pickles. Definitely did not have any flavors of a classic Cuban. It just tasted like a ham and cheese sandwich you could make at home. *California Omelette with home fries and toast $17.95 - Your standard omelette made with three eggs, avocado, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, and cheddar. The eggs were a bit overcooked and dry. Nothing to rave about, but no complaints either. The food wasn't really worth the price. There are a lot of diners with lower prices and better food. Would I return? Maybe, only out of convenience. It's open 24/7 and has every type of food possible to satisfy a craving. It's not the best quality, but it might do the job.
