The diner is like no other. The owner welcomes everyone guest by first name. The place is clean and filled with pictures of great quotes. I had a pastrami sandwich and it was delicious. read more

Very cute local diner for a cozy, old-school feel, with classic breakfast favorites. We each ordered a platter with 2 eggs - everything was fresh and delicious. We were seated quickly and our food came out relatively fast, but then service slowed down a bit and we weren't really checked on until asking for the check. The matzo ball in my cup of soup was great, but the broth was extremely salty (and trust me, I can handle a lot of salt!) Other than those little things, the food was great and the place is very cute and clean. Definitely coming back to try other things! read more

What a nice local diner! This was my first time here and I'll be back. My girlfriend and I came on the Saturday morning before Mother's Day and it was pretty full, but there were a couple tables open, so there was not a wait. We both ordered the two egg platters with egg cooked over medium. I got pork roll and my girlfriend got bacon. The food was very good and came out in under ten minutes, which was great. I would say the egg was cooked over easy rather than over medium as requested. As for the location itself, it's a small hole-in-the-wall type of place, simple but gets the job done. Prices were very fair and you pay up front when you're done. read more

Breakfast was delicious! The staff were friendly and attentive. The bathroom is very well heated but the restaurant is a little chilly, so bring a sweater. They offer a senior menu which includes everything from soup to dessert and we will certainly come back to try it! read more

So very disappointed. I ordered the potato pancakes as appetizer. So greasy and over cooked I couldn't even eat it. No apple sauce or sour cream as an accompaniment. I ordered the roasted chicken with stuffing as it appeared to say on the menu. It came so dry, no flavor. And without stuffing. It was a to go order. Maybe they treat these orders differently! $50 later with tip. Ugh. read more

Food was not great- it had no flavor and was blah. Try disappointed in this place. Service was nice though

Average diner downtown in Jamesburg. It has the usual food you would see in a diner - many options and always a classic. We came for breakfast so we got some breakfast food. The person I was with got the egg combo and I got an omelette special. It was okay and it did come out a bit cold. The service was a bit slow and our waiter seemed flustered. We were ready to put in our order and were told to wait a minute. Then when we got our food it took a minute for her to come around for the syrup and butter that went with our waffle. Overall it was an okay experience. read more

The Diner - Omelette Special: Italian sausage, red peppers, spinach, mozzarella - Desserts Near Me - Jamesburg, New Jersey

I went here for breakfast this morning and it was great. Nice place and easy to get to. Our waitress Sue was great. She was new but handled herself well. Very personable and frequently checked in on us. All the food we got was definitely worth it. We were both stuffed. The waffles and fruit were good! I've never had peaches as an added fruit. The mix was good. The diner skillet was delicious! A lot of food comes in that. I'd definitely come back here again. Cute place downtown read more

Don't ask them to vary any menu item - i.e., no cheese. They can't and/or won't do it. 3 times I ordered the same item; 3 times it came back wrong. read more

The food was yummy and exactly what we were looking for, a no effort dinner walk from our hotel. Great, friendly service, and entrees were very good. The salmon orders looked the best option at our table. The short rib was yummy and the milanese was tasty-the arugula on top was a welcome touch to add some moisture and flavor to the dish. Perfect for a go as you are meal. Very comfortable and yummy! read more

The soup was very heavily salted. Not good at all. They tried to accommodate me but my food was not good. I ordered a burger which was good. Service was good. read more

I order from their complete dinner senior menu the pasta w/flounder Franchise . It is delicious and made to perfection. There is a wide selection of options to choose from. Being the restaurant isn't very large, their service is suburb. There really isn't any ambience. I recommend you going there. read more

The Diner - Pancakes and fresh fruit with two plump sausages. - Desserts Near Me - Jamesburg, New Jersey

We were driving from NYC to visit friends outside Philadelphia, and The Diner was around the halfway point. I called ahead because we were going to arrive near closing, but they were happy to accommodate. The servers and patrons were all friendly. I got the steak and eggs with sides of bacon and hollandaise, and it was excellent (though the steak I asked for medium-rare was more like a medium, that's within spec for breakfast diners). I subbed a vegetable for my home fries. They only had zucchini - whichI thought a good sign, means they're getting what's fresh and in season - and it was very good as well, served in a tomato sauce. My bacon was crisp and juicy but somehow soft as well. My partner got the diner skillet, and she liked what she got. Everyone was friendly to our 6 month old, who sat in a high chair for the first time (with the staff's encouragement) and tried a bit of our food (and the table). He liked the hollandaise and the bacon. The bigger bathroom has a changing table, but it's at a bit of an angle and our baby DID NOT like it. But this is a common problem and won't deter us from returning. Overall, very happy we tried this place! Will try to come back on our return trip. read more

Good selection and prices. Staff friendly. Good for a fast meal either breakfast lunch or early dinnrt

I could give this place 4-5 stars but it does not deserve it. Listen I've been here over a dozen times, and every time I have had someone screw my order up. Always ask for an extra side and it never came out. Very cramped place and the food is average. A good place if you want to stop by for something to eat but it's nothing special. If your looking for a great diner food experience Christos up the road is way better food quality wise. read more

The Diner - Full spread - Desserts Near Me - Jamesburg, New Jersey

Located conveniently in downtown Jamesburg, within walking distance of Thompson park. After reading such great reviews about this place, we were eager to try it out. When I read they had the Monte Cristo sandwich, I was all for it. I'm a huge fan of the one at cheesecake factory. Unfortunately, it just wasn't the same. I would say this is the healthier version of the cheesecake factory one as it's not entirely fried or smothered in confectioner sugar. It does come with cranberry sauce and fries. The sandwich itself was a bit dry, even with the cranberry sauce. The fries were very good. My husband ordered the diner skillet, which came with eggs, toast, pancakes, coffee, juice, sausage, and ham. Great dish! My only complaint would be the juice, which literally was just a mouthful. Service was great, friendly staff... definitely a family friendly place. Just keep in mind that this place is quite small so it has very limited seating. read more

Small local diner. Good burger good service. Cooked the way I liked. I can see how this place will fill fast, it's limited in seating. If you're in the area and want a quick bite of comfort food, stop there. I would rate this a 3.8 of 5. read more

We were working around the house and didn't feel like cooking so we decided to go out, but not far and we decided to go to The Diner" here in town. I have never been a fan of this place and they kept their status tonight. How this place made it in the top 10 diners in NJ on 101.5 is beyond my comprehension; are there only 10 diners left on NJ and they made the list by default? I ordered the "Bunny's Panini". The picture with paninis shows a roll but mine came out on grilled pita bread, this is not a panini. The chicken in my alleged panini was wet and flavorless. When I say wet I mean it was like they heated the pre grilled chicken in water making it taste like flavorless mushy chicken. There was nothing satisfying about the sandwich but the fries were hot and crispy. The pickle was disappointing because it wasn't a true pickle but a cucumber wedge brined in water. The minuscule portion of coleslaw was dry and vinegary. My wife had the Corned Beef Ruben which said was good but she'll never complain so I take her description at face value. Everyone was very nice and pleasant but unfortunately it was near closing time and staff was more concerned about cleaning up and doing prep to come by the table to check on us. Eventually as our waitress reappeared from the back we finally got refills on our drinks. We would have left sooner so they could clean up and get out but had to wait for our check. Everything I've ever eaten here has been bland, flavorless and cooked to satisfy the people in the surrounding retirement villages but salt and pepper won't kill anyone. Add it to the food to give or bring out flavor. If you ask why I go here if I don't like it; it's because the people I'm with choose here and I go with the flow but it's never my choice. read more

I've been going here for years (since it first opened) and I have always been a huge fan of the matzo ball soup. Today I ordered it after not having it for a while and it was extremely salty to the point where I got a headache. I literally felt like I was drinking the dead sea. Additonally, I thought there would be hope for the matzo ball but it had eggshells in three different bites. I'm sad to say this because of how much I loved the soup but I will not be going back for more. read more

You can't beat the Diner for breakfast (other meals are good, but sometimes it's hard to find a great breakfast!) Reasonable prices, lots of choices. And the coffee keeps coming. I had a delicious Western omelet, which was more food than I could consume, so I had a treat the next day. Service is very good here. I have no complaints! read more

Not happy at all! Cheesesteak was disgusting, to say the least. It was chewy and had a funny flavor. Fries were dry, with no salt whatsoever. Fajitas were dry and rubbery and also had a weird flavor. We spent over 40 bucks on lunch that we couldn't even eat. Maybe it's good for breakfast, but I certainly wouldn't come back for lunch. read more

Even though it is a small space the service is great. They have a very good menu that includes special full dinners for people over 65. Our server was very nice, checking several times that everything was okay. We will certainly be visiting them again soon. read more

Dropped in for breakfast this morning. Wife ordered the Eggs Benedict, I went with pancakes and sausage. Meals came out after a short wait. Food didn't knock our socks off, it was sub-par, for the most part. My sausage had a weird aftertaste also, and my wife thought her home fries could have been cooked a bit more. Coffee was decent. Service, not so much. Our waitress was not very friendly, seemed like she woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Overall, our opinion is that the Diner in Jamesburg is below-average, at best. Basic fare that is mediocre tasting does not get return visits from us. The Yelp reviewers of this place need to expand out of their little area, no way does the Diner deserve a 4.5 average Yelp rating. read more

This place was bigger than first thought of. This seemed like more of a local place than a typical diner. The menu had a good variety while the service was courteous. I ordered the lox and onion omelet ($7.50). The omelet was a special that day that came with a very small glass of juice. The omelet also had a side of potatoes with choice of toast. I went with the wheat. The omelet was very good. I really enjoyed the amount of lox that was added to the omelet. There were no complaints regarding the omelet. My only concern about my meal was the dryness of the potatoes. They had good flavor, but were just dry. Will I go back? No doubt. read more

I am local so I come here when I want to grab a quick bite or have breakfast. Half the way to a nearby iHop and I get to support a local business. The food is good, not great, but gets the job done. The service could improve though. My waitress was not very friendly. No smile, no consideration for a customer who is potentially going leave her a tip based on her service. She seemed like I was inconveniencing her lol. I asked for warm syrup with my pancakes and she said "we don't that, I can put it in the microwave". The way she said it was like I was asking her to go to the moon to get it. I like laid back but a little too laid back that it affects your customer service is not a good look. read more

Why are people giving this dump 5 or 4 or 3 stars? Maybe they were paid or have no taste buds. I ate here with my wife for breakfast. We both had scrambled eggs, hash browns and toast with coffee. The eggs were bland. The hash browns burnt. The toast was bought form the dollar store and the coffee was like water. Since we were staying in the area, I thought Id give them another try. A few days later we went back for the same breakfast. Same horrible food. Avoid this place. read more

Food is very good and reasonably priced for the neighborhood, However, the servers are awful. One acts like she is high on uppers, They never, ever ask how the food is.. There is a good server on the weekends that is good and we always ask for her. The only reason for eating there is the dinner over 55+ is good. Servers are spotty, read more
