Angelina's European Cafe sounds like a chic spot to enjoy black coffee and finger sandwiches while…read morewearing a beret and reading existential poetry, but it's actually a typical New Jersey-style diner through and through with plenty of tasty, made-to-order options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner - as well as a full bar - served by attentive and competent staff. The menu offers something for everyone, whether you're in the mood for traditional breakfast staples like fluffy pancakes and eggs benedict or more robust lunch and dinner options like Philly cheesesteaks and burgers. The food is competently executed and very reasonably priced considering the portion size. I saw plenty of folks at tables seated nearby bringing their leftovers home for a second meal. My dining companion and I both had the Breakfast Special ($9), comprised of two eggs as-you-like-them, your choice of bacon or sausage, grits or potatoes, and a slice of bread. We both commented that our meal was pretty tasty and the portion size was reasonable for the price. As others have noted in their reviews, the host/hostess could be a bit friendlier and customer-focused. Angelina's doesn't take reservations and diners are seated on a 'first come, first serve' basis - when the whole party is present. When two of the three folks in our dining party arrived for breakfast on a recent Sunday morning, the hostess insisted we step aside and wait for the third diner to arrive in a few minutes before agreeing to seat us - even though there was no one in line behind us and plenty of open tables. It would have been nice to be seated and have a coffee to pass the few minutes until the third member of our party arrived. Solid 4 stars for a reliable, no-frills meal served by (mostly) friendly staff in a bright, airy space. PRO TIP: The space used to be a McDonald's restaurant, but they've done a great job with the remodel.. especially the dining room located in the former playground area which is now an open, airy space with tons of natural light.

[Host] Service was poor and management was weak. They…read morerefused to seat me ahead of my wife because "we can'tseat you until your whole party is here". I wanted to be seated so that I could order before she arrived so we could eat promptly after she arrived. We were only a party of two! There were plenty of open tables and booths at the time. It is very obvious that management doesn't trust and hasn't trained their staff to make good, sound decisions that are beneficial to the both the business and the customers. After 30 min a different employee came out of nowhere and offered to seat me. I expressed to her that I was told they were allowed to seat me yet, and it was clear that she had the authority to overrule that "policy". Kudos to her for doing the right thing. Their 3.6 star rating on Yelp is generous.

The butter taco was served in a warm pita like wrapper and tasted very much like butter chicken I have had at many Indian restaurants.
