This is always a first class diner. I know New Jersey is the diner capital of the world, but this really might be one of the best ones that I go to often. The food is ridiculously fresh every single time. It's all quality ingredients. It always taste good. The service is quick. The waiters and waitresses are easy to find which is not always the case with restaurants particularly busy diners. The Steir always does it well. read more

The list of breakfast options is soooooo deliciously long. It was a tough call but the fruit tart waffle was fantas and I'd get it again in a heartbeat. The food of my companion was excellent too. He got French toast. If there's something to complain about it's the lack of coffee refills. All in all the food makes up for it. Go here. Yum. read more

Delivery Order: I love Diner Food and make a point of trying new ones but this one was not a good experience. Fish and Chips had barely any seasoning, and they didn't even give any Tartar sauce. I had also ordered Chorizo Quesadilla and they too tasted just average. Maybe dining in person, it would have been better. read more

I ordered pancakes from this diner, and I wanted my blueberries and whipped cream on the side but they wanted to charge extra price for the blueberry and extra for the whipped cream. I think they could have at least given the whipped cream with the pancakes if I ordered I side of blueberries I spent $20 just on pancakes and a side of corn beef hash. But overall, the pancakes were good. read more

I've been searching for the perfect Loaded Potato Skins since Houlihans took them off of find menu. Pro tip: order them with a side of Blue Cheese which you get for only $.055 extra. I find these so amazing! They have the perfect combination of a good cheese, a good portion size, a nice big side of the Blue Cheese Dressing, a lot of bacon and also a lot of scallions!! Seriously, I'm obsessed with these Potato Skins and I've been ordering them non stop for days lol read more

Bad experience.. I ordered the bandeja paisa, The steak was really bad. You cannot see it because they hid it under the eggs. It tasted expired. I gave it back to waitress and told them it was not edible, and after a couple of minutes, i was served the same steak! As if they just warmed it up and brought it back. The avocado was not ripe to add. I think the place has good service but I think that the food quality has gone down and it was genuinely just a bad experience. read more

Called for a large party and they took the reservations and accommodated us. Food and service was great. I remember it used to be The Point Diner many years ago. Nice and clean place. Only down side is the 22 percent service charge and 3 percent credit card fees. read more

So, I have to write an updated review.... I've ordered take out from this restaurant a few times, and took the time to set up an online account. I usually order at work. The other day I ordered dinner from here to my home. I updated my delivery address, and the email receipt I received had my home address on it. The restaurant misprinted the address and sent the food to my job. It was not an error on the delivery driver's part either. I work at a school, obviously schools are closed at 7pm. When I realized this, I called the restaurant, and asked what they were going to do to correct this error. As I would now be getting cold food as my home is about 15 minutes from my job, and my job is about 10 minutes from the restaurant. The manager I spoke to did NOTHING for me. He said my order was "ONLY BURGERS" (It was an $80 order at least.) and that I should call if they were cold when they arrived at my house. He acknowledged it was the restaurant's error. Obviously, I was UNHAPPY at the very least. I wasn't expecting a comp, but a small coupon would have been nice. (I'm fully aware times are tough.) I do not recommend ordering from this restaurant. read more

: @beacondinernj in Fairview, NJ. (Verdict: No Potatoes) OMG they have huge menu. You'll definitely find something you like. A Sunday lunch with the family. Special company with great food. What more can you ask for?? My diner "Cubano Panini" with well done sweet potato fries (not allergic to those) was pretty damn good. We were a large group and service perfectly kept up with us all. My "Cuñi" and I definitely recommend it. Give them a try. @vinopotato "The Beacon Diner offers meals of excellent quality and invite you to try their delicious food." Storied spot with kitschy decor providing burgers & other diner classics, plus delivery. read more

Great atmosphere for a diner, we went there for a Saturday brunch and we were seated right away. Despite being busy, the service was reasonable but it could be faster. The savory options were generally nice, we had Maryland crab Benedict (a bit too salty for my taste) and all the way breakfast with turkey sides. I wish they had salmon sides as well but they don't. Coffee is better than similar diners but not particularly good. We had tiramisu style French toast, which was an interesting take on French toast but a bit too sweet for my taste. The bathroom was disappointingly dirty for a restaurant/diner that otherwise looked great. Overall, 3.7 stars rounded up to 4 stars. read more

One of my favorite diners in the area. I live 5 minutes away and I am here all the time. I haven't had any meal that was bad. Great family owned business with good service. Some of my favorites are the steak tacos, homemade chicken fingers and pulled pork sliders. read more

We stumbled upon this diner for breakfast. We were looking for something local and we're really thrilled about stopping in. It was pretty quiet when we first got there and got really busy by the time we left. We started with the breakfast tacos. They were overly stuffed and delicious. Honestly we could of just split that and been content. They definitely don't skimp on portion size. We also got the waffle sliders with French fries. What a great sandwich! Flavorful snd very good. We were super full by the time we finished everything! The service was really good too. Even when it got pretty busy they were on top Of everything. Honestly it's one of the better diners in the immediate area. We will def be coming back to try lunch or dinner! read more

The food here is the best in town. They had crepes on the menu (always a plus for me). We sat on the outdoor patio that was very clean. The manager was very attentive and even asked us what we had ordered when he noticed it was running a bit late (without us saying anything). The home fries were exactly how you want them--not burnt to a crisp, but rather nicely mixed with the onions and peppers with a light golden brown hue. We ordered the 2 of the nutella crepes but trust me when I tell you one crepe order is more than enough for 2 people. They are very generous with their portions! Prices were very reasonable as well! read more

My server made my experience so much better since eating solo is always a bit awkward for me. She was kind, quick and checked up on me often. The place is well kept, it was clean, and decor is went nicely at this dinner. My order was delicious. I was craving something sweet and I ordered an amazing probably shouldn't count calories when eating sandwich. The syrup was brought out warm, the sandwich was so tasty, the fries were nice a crunchy outside and soft inside. Loved my order and loved the service. Big shout out to Rosa for her great service! read more

Always a great time at this diner. Staff very friendly & attentive. This time we came for breakfast. I had the breakfast sliders with home fries. 2 sliders come with the order and it consists of waffles, sausage, cheese. It was super flavorful and big. Halfway through the first one and I was already stuffed. A friend had a BEC & a vanilla milkshake. Whatever you do, you need to try their shakes ... they are GREAT. COVID UPDATE: the outdoor tables are spaced out, they do give you paper menus if you ask but they have the QR code for the menu on sheets hanging from the inside the tent. Servers and hosts wear masks at all time. read more

This review is based on our last 2 experiences. First of all... DO NOT ORDER FOR DELIVERY. It took over an hour for our food to arrive and was cold when it finally did. We're 10 minutes away. Whoever answered just kept saying it will get there and didn't offer a discount. We will never order delivery from them again. In the diner itself, it's another story. There's a lot of variety to please almost every palate. Dawn's service was great and the food was delicious. However, the busboy came by constantly and wanted to take away plates with food still on it without asking. It made us feel rushed. read more
