Stopped by for brunch on a Saturday, and really enjoyed the atmosphere and food. I requested to sit in the outdoor section, and was happy that they had multiple fans running / hanging from the ceiling. The place is spacious yet cozy at the same time. It was nice and quiet, which I appreciate! The hostess and server were very friendly and prompt. I went with my partner, and we ordered: - Cuban breakfast (from the regular menu): 2 eggs any style (we went with scrambled), 2 large chorizo sausage links, sliced avocado, 3 pieces of fried plantain, white rice and black beans. This was filling, comforting and very delicious. The chorizo was excellent! - French Toast sticks (from the brunch menu): You get 8 large sticks, served with syrup and a vanilla frosting dip. Decadent and delicious. - Southern Benedict (from the brunch menu): I had a hankering for sausage gravy, and this sure did hit the spot! The portion is huge (I have enough for another meal). A diner next to me asked me how it was because she wanted to order it, but went with her usual omelette. I highly recommend it! read more

A few days ago, I went to drop off a package at the U.S. Post Office and stopped at my favorite diner in Tenafly--the Tenafly Classic Diner--on my way home. I really enjoy sitting in the glass-enclosed area with a view of the outside. It was incredibly hot that day, but I felt very comfortable in that section because it was nice and cool. My server was very friendly, and the place is always impeccably clean. Today, I decided to have the fish tacos--battered style--and they were delicious. There were three huge tacos; I actually had to take one home. I also ordered a regular Coke with light ice. The food was delicious. I always leave this place with fond memories. Congratulations again to the entire team and the owners. God bless you all, and see you soon. read more

It's a solid diner - classic vibes, lots of choices, relatively fast service. Been here a handful of times now and gotten good feedback from the kids. It's a little pricey but the portions are very large. I love the fresh orange juice and the peach lemonade. read more

Food awful. Kids meal: fish & chips Adult meal: Pot roast Fries soggy, fish was breaded, cod was ok. Pot roast: potato pancakes soggy; good portion but covered w/watery gravy Service adequate but automated tip set up on handheld device which was not easily changeable so ended up over tipping just to leave. $9 for 2 Arnold Palmer mason jar drinks??!! Didn't bother to say that kids meal provides a drink? Ambience clean, bright. restrooms clean. Returning - NO read more

My boyfriend and I go here somewhat regularly and we're always warmly greeted and seated immediately. The servers are friendly and responsive. The menu is extensive and everything I've sampled so far has been great. I do particularly like their salads which are fresh, generously sized and delicious. The spicy shrimp tacos were wonderful with the addition of avocado and a side of black beans and rice. Definitely recommend if you are in the area. read more

Tenafly Classic Diner 16 W. Railroad Ave. Tenafly, NJ 07470 Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls French Dip Vodka Chicken Parmesan Funfetti Cake Cookie Monster Wild Shake Appearance: Taste: In downtown Tenafly is a local diner that serves a variety of dishes. The buffalo chicken egg rolls is a fantastic starter. The egg rolls packed with seasoned chicken and are served with blue cheese. Take a dip with the tender French dip. Be sure to dip your hoagie into the au jus. The homemade potato chips are hot and freshly made, which is a great side dish. For a diner, the chicken Parmesan was superior! There were two full size cutlets along with penne pasta. The sauce was thick and creamy; if I could, I would have ate the sauce by the gallon! The mozzarella cheese didn't have a golden brown char appearance, but don't let that fool you. The melted mozzarella blended perfectly with the cutlet, pasta, and sauce! The Funfetti cake was an excellent dessert; the cake was served chilled with layers of frosting in between the spongy, cake. My minor critique is that I wish the donut hole wasn't sliced as that compromises the appearance. Usually, I'm not a fan of wild shakes as the toppong is too overbearing. However, this does not apply with the Cookie Monster because the sugar cookie is not too powerful or sweet. In addition, the vanilla milkshake is dyed aqua blue to match the iconic Sesame Street character. The Cookie Monster design is very attractive and realistic. This was a fantastic experience visiting this restaurant. #tenaflyclassicdiner #buffalochickeneggrolls #frenchdip #vodkachickenparmesan #funfetticake #cookiemonstershake #wildshake #milkshake #eats #localspots #foodstagram #foodreview #njfoodie read more

A classic dinner- the kind of place that I like very much for its architecture and style. This was our first time here on a visit to the town. The service was great and the menu extensive. The food (generous portions) could have been better. We had the avocado toast and a country breakfast with scrambled eggs. Tea and a latte to drink. Everything tasted ok but not tasty- a pity. The check came to over $40. read more

I've been here a few times now. Morning weekends can be busy but they are good about getting you seated. They have some specialty drinks and desserts with a wow factor. It's a classic diner with big portions and fair pricing. They also serve some alcoholic options. I've gone for later in the evening dessert as well as breakfast. Staff is friendly. A good local spot to frequent with a large menu. read more

Glad to have Tenafly diner in the area yet never had a meal there that quite rose to what gave NJ diners their great reputation. In a pinch we dine there, classic overwhelming diner menu but no one item has ever really been noteworthy. read more

Pretty standard diner. Friend an I shared the tater tots with cheese and bacon. They were fine. I had the short rib hash with eggs over medium. The home fries weren't bad. I wish I'd asked for them well done. The portion was very generous and it made for a nice breakfast the following morning. It had a great classic NJ diner atmosphere, which I loved. read more

We ordered dinner via UberEats last night. It was our first time trying out this restaurant and I would definitely order again. I am pleasantly surprised with the grilled cod fish tacos. VERY filling as it is served with generous amount of fish. And the bonus side of plantains and rice with black beans are a plus. Plantains are my favorite side dish add-on to fish tacos. It would be nice to see plantains as a side dish option to purchase, at least that was an option the food app. This restaurant is running a promo on the app. Or if the is Buy one get one free on their cheesecake dessert. I highly recommend their fluffy mousse-like whipped cheesecakes, so delicious! They taste homemade and slices were large. The only reason why I didn't give this a 5 stars is bc the taco was on the drier end. It could had used complimentary sauces and lime/lemon. Also, to food was cold by the time my delivery arrived. Will definitely reorder and try the crispy fish version next time. read more

Have been to this establishment multiple times. Very nice, clean, and classic NJ diner. Service is usually good, although is slows down considerably if they are busy. Food overall is good. Typical diner with a bit of a higher end feel. read more

The server Lina (hope I got that right) is amazing and gives great service. We got the French toast sticks (it was a huge portion for a great price and tasty), the firehouse burger (was extremely dry and lacking flavor) and Oreo pancakes (not pictured but always delicious). Overall the food and service are good. read more

If you're looking for a hearty breakfast in the Tenafly Classic Diner is a go-to spot. The ambiance gives an old-school diner atmosphere; serves up all the classics and offers great value for your money. The breakfast menu has something for everyone. I'm a fan of their omelets. Standouts are the Greek omelet with spinach and feta and the Spanish omelet with tomatoes, onions, and peppers. The staff are also friendly. If you're in Tenafly, the Classic Diner is the perfect place to start your day with a hearty, affordable breakfast. read more

Everything was delicious. Would be very happy to eat there again. Service wasn't super fast but they tried to pay attention to everyone.

3rd time very dissatisfied. I don't know why I keep thinking things would change. This time Eggs Benedict came out cold and overcooked. Last time the hamberger meat was bad and the cook tasted and agreed. I don't know what happened to this place but never again. read more

It's the only diner around my area that's why I order from here, but waiting for 2hrs delivery is unacceptable no matter how busy or what kinda of food delivery business you are running. To top it off the staff not taking responsibility and act like it's nothing it's crazy!! Some people have been working there way too long and developed a comfort zone while working, they need to go! BTW THEY WILL ADD TIP TO THE BILL PLUS CREDIT FEES ON TOP OF YOUR TOTAL, CAREFUL THEY LIVE WHEN PEOPLE TIP THEM TWICE! read more

This place is really a good diner, but it is expensive. They charge you extra for everything. There are no specials at this place. If you want French toast you have to pay extra for eggs, bacon, or anything else you want. However, they offer great service and a nice place for breakfast, with an open air area if you prefer to eat outdoors. The coffee is good and they serve up some really nice dishes. read more

Food was delicious and was served very quickly. Our server, Isidro was super friendly, patient and efficient. 10/10 for breakfast.

We stopped here on a Sunday because it was the only thing open around 8:30 PM. We were welcomed by a nice hostess and the waitress came over right away with menus. We ordered a Philly cheese steak and a burger. The waitress was very accommodating and kind. We didn't want to overstay because we knew they closed soon but they were not rushing us at all which I appreciated. I love the feeling of an old school diner. Food was good. The Philly cheesesteak came with crispy chips which happens to be my favorite. We were satisfied and will come back again if we are in town. read more

I have been here for breakfast a few times and was. It that impressed, but today we needed a quick lunch and it was delicious. I ordered the Italian Chicken panini, highly recommend.

Friendly staff, clean place, alot of seating, and the food was really good. Ordered breakfast, with some OJ (fresh squeezed amazing) guess the oranges were really sweet because this was soooo good. I always order scrambled eggs well, and hubby orders over easy, both came out perfect. Pancakes were good too. Asks for toast with butter on the side, got that too! The only reason for one less star is because our waitress forgot our soup. They are a lil pricey. Charged $4.95 for 3 pieces of bacon/$3.95 for two sausages and I believe we were charged 7.50 each for the OJ. I know I always say if it's good I'll pay, but that's just a bit much. read more

6 people (3 kids) coming to a diner at 6:00pm on a Friday night you would think would be tough, Not here , we were seated right away, the diner was crowded but a good crowd and plenty of seating. We chose this dinner because of the gluten-free menu, And they didn't disappoint. The kids had a good time. The waiter was excellent. No rush no problem. We didn't but if you needed a drink to smooth the edge of a tough day you could get it here also. Parking was a breeze and the town of Tenafly is always nice. We don't live there. read more

We ordered a chocolate mousse and two milkshakes. The chocolate mousse was more like a cake with a thick layer of frosting and tasted store-bought. We ordered two cookies and cream milkshakes but they came out in different colors and tasted like mint milkshakes. While Tenafly Diner's food was not great, I still gave the restaurant three stars because I appreciate their service. It's a good place to stop by for a late night bite but don't expect too much from the food. read more
