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

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

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

Went here for brunch and it was a good decision to come here. Tasted the burger chicken wrap and it was delicious. Also had the macaroni and cheese and that was also good.

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

A Single Hamburger cut into four pieces IS NOT AN ORDER OF SLIDERS !!!! If I could give 4 Stars , I would - But I cannot !! The food here is excellent and the service is great. I go in person and order DoorDash, and they always deliver/serve good food. Highly recommended - day or nite 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.

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

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

The Tenafly diner is a classical local diner. I come here often for pancakes and it never disappoints. The staff is nice, the service is good, and the prices are very fair. They have good burgers and sandwiches and lots of creative and fun milkshakes. They also serve alcohol. They have open seating which is really nice in warmer months. 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

I have been to the diner about a dozen times in the past year. Service is pleasant and helpful. I've had great burgers, fries, onion rings, omelette and salads. But my favorite is their chicken pot pie. Great taste and a big portion ditto the fries and onion rings. Highly recommended ! read more

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

We visited Tenafly classic diner the food was very good the service is also very inviting the staff is very friendly especially Lina Maria she goes above and beyond to accommodate and make guests feel welcome and comfortable. read more

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

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.

después de estar yendo a este lugar , ayer tuve la peor experiencia ( no sé si tenga algo que ver el cambio de dueño) fuimos con una amiga a desayunar y tuvimos la peor atención , los meseros nos acosaban contante mente para recoger nuestros platos aunque veían que todavía no habías terminado , teníamos que estar diciendo no hemos terminado , hasta que viene una mesera que por cierto es nueva porque no la había visto antes y retiró nuestros platos con una mala actitud y casi gritado dijo terminaron y se llevó nuestros platos . ( no llevabamos más de 40 minutos )No se vale esta mala atención con nadie . Con todo esto llamamos el manager y le preguntamos si es que necesitaban la mesa , a lo que dijo que no ( por cierto el lugar tenía muchas mesas desocupadas ) tendrá que ver esto por su mal servicio que tienen actualmente. NO TE RECOMIENDO PARA NADA IR A ESTE LUGAR CON ESA CLASE DE PERSONAL QUE TIENEN ACTUALMENTE. read more

Has anyone whose ordering from here ever gotten a phone call from here, about not giving enough money for a tip? I did, this was the first time I've ever gotten food from here.

I always tip, weather the service and food is good or not. 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
