Was in the area and decided to give this diner a try. I typically don't have high hopes for diners but wow, this diner is a serious gem! It looks like they remodeled not long ago so the diner is modern, clean and ample seating. Service was amazing and we were seated right away. I was surprised to see they had a Brunch menu so if you are looking for a local brunch place, add this one to your list. I ordered their stuffed strawberry and blueberry french toast that was topped with raspberry syrup. Sooooo good! And their waffles with fresh fruit and walnuts and a side of sausage. With the brunch, you get a complimentary drink and took the Peach Bellini (which was delicious and a nice treat). A really great place and it's located not to far from the teterboro plaza so after you shop, you can stop here for a nice meal! read more

Went to Runway about.1 week ago for break with friends. The diner has been completely renovated and is very clean including the bathroom. The hostess was polite and quick to acknowledge our party of 4. One waiter came over and asked for a beverage order quickly brought it then took our food order. The food came out promptly, hot, and as ordered. The staff to table ratio was excellent. The food quality and size was very good and we all had leftovers. This is a small but conveniently located diner. read more

My family and I have been here several times since they've opened and each time is a pleasure! Whether you're looking for a nice spot for breakfast, a quick bite to eat for lunch, or an enjoyable dinner, Runway Diner has plenty of options to suit your taste. Today we had the chance to check out some of their lunch menu and it was delicious. The Reuben and meatloaf platters were cooked to the right temperature and tasted great! The sweet potato fries were huge and not overly cooked like other places. What really keeps us coming back is the impeccable service! The waitstaff is very friendly from the time you walk in to the time you leave and there is always someone nearby to help if needed. The decor is very fitting for the area considering it is about a mile away from Teterboro Airport. Definitely recommend coming here, the food hasn't failed us yet, portion sizes and prices are reasonable, service is astounding, and it's in a great location! read more

Here visiting and wanted to find something good to eat at a local diner place....our first stop was foodies but after 5 minutes of sitting not being greeted and was calling the server that clearly ignored us a keep walking I decided to google something else close by and ran cross this restaurant. The food, the service and the atmosphere was amazing I give it a 10/10 i highly recommend. read more

My coworkers and I ordered from Runway Diner today. We ordered through Uber. The food was packed well and they listened to our notes. I ordered the Chipotle Chicken Sub and I thought it was really good. The sub had avocado and bacon on it - how can it be bad? The chicken was cooked well and was juicy. I just wish the fries were a little more crispy. We'll definitely order from here again! read more

When visiting my in laws, we went to this diner, which was fantastic. Even though there are a lot of diners in NJ, they're not always clean and don't always have the best food. We've been to several when visiting. This one is by far the best. My sister in law lives close by. She said it was very good and goes there often. I can see why. Everyone loved the food they got. My mother in law loved her omelette. I absolutely loved my short rib tacos. It's hard to get short rib where we live. This short rib was so moist and tender. Loved that they were tacos! Mmmm my husband loved his pancakes and bacon. My sister in law said the avocado toast is also very good. I'd try that next time. Go check out this diner. It's delicious, clean and the servers are very kind and attentive. It's definitely the best one in the area. read more

I'm going to start by saying the service was TERRIBLE. They first tried to seat us at the "after thought" table that were two table pushed side by side against a row of booths. We asked to be seated else where. They waitress took a long time to come greet us. We never got menus or utensils until we'll after being seated. I ordered a coffee with cream and i got milk. The food was just average. The Mac and cheese balls and the short rib panini were probably the two best items we got. The breakfast quesadilla was average at best and the chicken and waffle eggs Benedict were below average. The hollandaise sauce was blah and as u can see from the picture , I got a giant waffle with chicken and eggs just in the middle. I had to wait forever for syrup and the waffle wasn't even butters and super dry. We stopped here because the reviews were good and we wanted a "Jersey Diner" experience. We definitley won't be back. read more

It's a fun place with lots of options. The servings are HUGE for the low price. I will say that the food isn't that flavorful but it still tasted okay. Service was slow as well but we were easily able to flag down other servers when ours didn't come around for a while. read more

I usually order from here to-go or DoorDash and the food is decent. Decided to dine-in if it wasn't too crowded today. For a late Saturday morning, we were able to get seated right away which was great. Service didn't start out too good. There was one younger hostess who was very pleasant, and an older grey-haired woman who just stared and didn't greet us. Our waitress was at first very pleasant, as well, but after she took our order she essentially disappeared and we didn't really see her until she haste-fully tried to give us to-go boxes. We had to ask another waitress for more napkins and condiments. I ordered one of the specials. It was meat-lovers hash browns with ham, bacon, and chorizo mixed in, and topped with scrambled eggs and cheese. It was absolutely delicious. Some of the best diner food I've had outside of Tops Diner. With the special you also get a choice of a cocktail, and I had a Mimosa. My company had eggs over medium, bacon, and hash browns and they thought their dish was just okay. I also had a cup of coffee and didn't finish it. It was extremely watered down and flavorless. My company also agreed. When we were leaving, the friendly hostess handed my toddler a box of popcorn, which he was absolutely delighted by. All-in-all, This place is great to stop by if you're already in the area, but I wouldn't particularly go out of my way if it wasn't on the way to another destination. I think since I live close by, I'd give it another go to see if the service was just one-off for the day. read more

Just go!!!! It's a good ole down to earth diner. Love diner food? With friendly staff? In a nice diner atmosphere? Runway Diner is the place for you. read more

Pleasant welcome hostess. Food good. The place was very nice too, all new seats and lighting.

Runway Diner - a "noob" (as my kids would say) on the Jersey diner scene but they're definitely making an impression... from the clean modern look (cool bright colors, great artwork) to somehow offering 500 options (welcome to Jersey!) but the menu was sleek and small and not the classic long-and-heavy (and usually sticky and filthy) type that the "old guard" diners always use. Staff - friendly, efficient and they worked like a well-oiled machine to keep everything moving smoothly. (And they were all dressed-to-impress and looked like they might hit a trendy club in NYC after their shift was up.) Food - I mean, have you ever seen Moules Frites on a Jersey diner menu before?! (And I had a feeling the crew in the kitchen would've done a bang-up job on it, too.) I went with their Rueben (last time I had one of those President Carter was still in office) and it was killer. One kid went with a classic cheeseburger (but wasn't impressed and only ate half of it). Another kid got a chicken dinner (the portion size could've fed three people) and he really dug it (but the kinda-sorta garlic-bread it came with was probably his favorite item from the meal). Music - worth a mention because as soon as "It Must Be Love" by Madness was pumping out of the speakers I knew this place was legit. But (there's always a 'but', right?)... My Arnold Palmer wasn't great. It felt like someone emptied a sugar packet and let it sink to the bottom of the glass and we all know granulated sugar doesn't really dissolve well in cold liquids - so every time I took a sip of my drink my glucose levels shot through the roof. COVID might finally be in our rearview mirror but it was baffling that in a relatively empty dining room with plenty of open tables they clumped some families/tables (like ours!) on top of each other. Final snip: if you have a good looking "Handcrafted Burgers" section on your menu and already offer a 'Texas Burger' - how could you have missed the opportunity to do a Jersey-themed one with Taylor ham on top of the patty?! The diner is airport-themed so you call it "The Love-At-First-Flight Burger" and you're printing money. Small hiccups aside - with tasty epic portions (hovering around $20 per entrée) - I do believe we found a diner worth frequenting again. As this review starts to make its final descent (please buckle up!) I'll leave you with... What sound does a bouncy plane make? Boeing! read more

Food and service is excellent and my favorite is the fresh pressed apple juice which made my day. I've never had that in any diner before. Beats orange juice any day. The food is presented well and the serving size satisfies. The servers are very nice and food comes fast. A very clean well lit spacious restaurant. read more

Kind and good service and then delicious food! A lot of parking lots. cozy, clean, spacious tables.

Food here may be okay, place could be clean but urge to be careful to keep receipts and compare when your credit card statement comes. It was our first time there and was looking forward however there was a slight issue with one of our burgers so we sent it back. The server since that moment never cared to give us decent service anymore. In fact we never saw her again! Just compared the card statement to pay today and realized they voluntarily tacked on an extra amount as their "tip" despite us already leaving more than 15% for the lack of service. We don't have time to call the card company for such a small amount, however learned our lesson and will not return again. Just be careful when you pay with a card is my advice, they wanted to make it back with the issue by doing such a dishonest thing! read more

Great place. We were visiting the area and found this Diner through a yelp search. We were not disappointed. Friendly staff and good food. read more

I go to this place frequently. The food is awesome and the staff is the best I have ever dealt with. My waiter (yes, I always ask for him) Steven is the best and his personality alone makes me want to keep going back. I am heart broken that Steven left! The other staff are all wonderful also. Raul and Carolina are amazing. See ya soon Janet S. read more

We went today with some friends we were told that they were really good so worth a shot. It's a typical diner with clueless employees. We didn't have one waitress but maybe 4 incompetent ones. Never paid attention to our table/booth. Asked for things 3 to 4 times to actually get them. Never once asked how was the food, more water, more drinks. The food here is awful, dry, overcooked, unseasoned. The crepes S'mores nothing like it's described on the menu a 1/2 teaspoon of Nutella in side a hard and dry crepe with stale mini marshmallows around it. Crepe #2 banana and strawberries- again dry and no filling. Egg Benedict with Hash-browns, over cooked eggs and the potatoes were not seasoned no amount of hot sauce could save it. Asked for Rye toast, they offered it but kept bringing white out. Shaking my damn head. Omelet was way over done and burnt not even seasoned. Sunny side up egg.... They didn't follow instructions at all it was fried and over done. We tried getting the waitress attention but they ignored our table. Definitely not Will not be back to this place. read more

Wow, this place should not be called a diner but runway cafeteria. It doesn't deserve the diner title. The food here is awful. I can only compare it to cafeteria food and that's being gracious. The appearance looks ok but the quality is very low grade. How can you call yourself a diner and use pre-made chicken patties for chicken parm. Yuck!! As for decor, place doe not look anything like a typical Jersey diner. More like a squanky Chinese restaurant. As for service, it wasn't bad but like others said, they never check back after they deliver the food. Would not recommend. You're better off going to a fast food drive thru. read more

Food and service was amazing! Waitress Wynne was amazing and so attentive. Super nice, very homey! Huge selection of food and wonderful atmosphere!

For reference, my partner ordered the lox Benedict on an English muffin! I ordered the ricotta lemon poppy pancakes and they ROCKED. read more

This is a new diner in this area. Pulling up it seemed to be a popular place. When we got in it seemed like everyone was ordering a dinner special. We ordered mozzarella sticks for an appetizer. They were nice and warm with a good cheese pull. Then we ordered the short rib panini with waffle fries and I ordered just a chicken finger appetizer for my meal. The panini was good but kind of dry and could have used a little more sauce. The fingers were good, but just average like any other fingers. In all the place was ok, but living in nj my whole life I've definitely been to way better diners. read more

After running an errand, my partner and I made a repeat performance to this establishment for a quick bite escaping from the cold. The parking lot was crowded, but when we walked in , social distancing was enforced as the patrons were spaced apart and enjoying their meal. The only place available was at the bar and all to ourselves. We were greeted by the owner, Nick who remembered us from our 1st visit and his wonderful wife, Eleni. We exchanged a few words. Our server was Luis and very attentive. To warm myself, I started with a cup of mushroom barley soup. This came out warm and tasted deliciously with the various vegetables (onions, carrots and celery) into the mix. My partner ordered the chicken Caesar wheat wrap. I got the warm pastrami sandwich toasted on wheat as I've been craving it. Both came out just right as we liked them with no complaints. If you are in the area, we highly recommend this place. read more

They need a manager to oversee the floor better. The food was good, but not hot. The server tried hard, but looked liked they were understaffed The wait was rather long after we ordered. We need a good diner in the area We will give it another try read more

Everything here is so tasty and I am never disappointed. The environment is inviting and relaxed. We had originally called and asked to sit outside because we wanted to bring our dog. When we got there they weren't sitting anyone outside anymore. They let us bring our little dog inside (granted our dog is 13 pounds and they did ask us the size of the dog while I was checking in, while my partner waited outside so just be aware of that). They were so welcoming. I highly recommend this diner! read more

The service was as good as you can get in a diner and unbelievably the med rare was spot on. I have a pet peeve about CARAMELIZED ONIONS there is only one meaning to that Onions cooked down slowly to their buttery sweetness not crunchy in any way ask any chef worth his salt. I get the cost of losing the volume of onion that this shrinks, for the prices on the menu this should not even be an issue , the end it's either about money or laziness . In my personal experience it's both which has to do w Management. I had steak sandwich that was served cut in half already instead of letting me release my own steak juice. $51 for two at lunch w o perfection is asking too much . I could've had Morton's Steak house for just a few extra $ 3 stars was just for the protein cooked correctly. read more

Wow. Great to find a good diner nearby. The insides are all new and bright and clean. My family all loved the meals they got. My burger was perfectly cooked and onion rings were crispy.
