This time I went with a breakfast item, their eggs benedict ($9.99). It was two poached eggs with Canadian bacon on top of an English muffin with hollandaise sauce and home fries. This was decent. The bacon appeared to be salty, at least that is what I thought. The eggs were poached just right and the English muffin had a slight crisp to it. The home fries, however, were extremely bland even with the peppers. Lots of pepper and ketchup were added. read more

Let me start off by saying that this in not the cheapest diner around. Expect to pay a few dollars more than usual for the basics. That being said, the food is good. I had the Malibu Bacon Burger. It was a half pound monster with pepper jack cheese, bacon, and guacamole. Ordered medium rare and got a nice red, juicy, medium rare burger. There were several slices of bacon, but it was thin and mostly tasteless. The guacamole had a bit of spice to it and was delicious. The steak fries that came with the deluxe burger were very good. Thick and flavorful with a crisp outside and perfectly cooked inside. Although I originally scoffed at paying $13.50 for a burger, I felt it was well worth it once I ate it. I left a small piece of burger and a few fries behind as I was too stuffed to proceed. So, in conclusion... Burger:excellent. Fries:excellent. Guacamole: excellent. Bacon:needs improvement. This diner is open 24 hours and has a liquor license. Two big plusses. read more

So I ordered 2 burgers, pizza fries and wings. Wings were good. The burgers were black like they burnt them when we asked for medium rare. The blue cheese burger had a light layer of crumble blue cheese on it it was so dry and nasty. The pizza fries had no sauce on them and the fries were cold. On top of it all when I called in the order the older white guy at the host counter was so rude and wouldn't give me the price of the food on the phone. When I asked him when I got there if my food was ready he snapped and said "if it was you would know it kid". Fuck that guy. And their food is trash read more

Great spot! Really enjoyed the food and overall experience. I got the Mozzarella sticks and chicken noodle soup. My friend got the Montecristo, I tried it was really good. Would definitely go back. read more

We came here because we were severely hungry. We are not hungry anymore, because the servings are gargantuan, but delicious. The entrees were liver and onions for me. The little lady had Hungarian goulash! Alexis did a great job making sure we had a good time here. The restaurant has been around for over sixty-five years, so it's unstoppable at serving up food 24/7! read more

The Edison Diner - Beef steer liver!!! - Diners Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Good service but subpar food. I ordered the portobello mushroom panini with provolone cheese. The sandwich came with "veggie chips" and when I asked what those were there wasn't much of an answer. I took a chance. The bread was odd and the cheese didn't taste like provolone. There was no taste. There were red and green bell peppers in the sandwich which over powered the portobello. It wasn't good. So, what exactly were the veggie chips? They were stale, crushed up terra chips. All little pieces on the plate. Awful. Inedible. I won't be returning. read more

Still the best around. We stopped at a different diner on the way into town just to try it, and we were SO disappointed. We should have known better. This place sets the bar for what a diner should be. Everything is CLEAN. The menu is HUGE. Our server, Alexis, was super friendly and efficient, and everything came out perfectly. read more

We use to go to this diner at least once a week. Always very good. We have not been there in a few months and went yesterday. Ordered chicken franchise which I ordered all the time. It was ok not as good as it use to be. The main problem was on the children's menu it had Mac and cheese with crab cake (weird choice for a kids menu) I asked if we could just get Mac and cheese and the waiter said no problem. We get the bill and they charged us 10.95 the price of the mac and cheese and crab cakes. They said they gave extra mac and cheese. I said crab cakes are a lot more then Mac and cheese. Will never go back read more

We've always enjoyed our meals at The Edison Diner over the 30 years. This visit we spent our Valentine's day dinner here. My husband ordered the jambalaya and with almost each bite praised how fresh and delicious everything was. It was the best jambalaya he's had in years. The spiciness and the ingredients were perfect especially the andouille sausage. I had the paella de mariscos. I've had it before here and it is fantastically delicious. It was packed with clams, scallops, mussels and a petit lobster tail. There was so much food that we were stuffed and still had so much left over for a second meal. The meals included soup salad and dessert. My fave salad dressing is the honey mustard. We love The Edison Diner and will keep visiting here because of the amazing meals we've had. read more

I far as quality and service I would give this diner three stars. As far as value probably 1.5 stars, so giving it 2 stars. Positives are it is very clean and updated new diner, service was fine, not special but not bad at all. I feel this place represents that you are forced to pay for 3-4 times the amount of fries you should eat (and believe me I can eat more than I should). They give you bread when most people are having bread with already. So price is reasonable if you want to pay for an excess of that. I ordered a Chicken Souvlaki, chicken was too dry and over- seasoned but the Tzadiki make up for it, but there was also only 3 strips of chicken for a $ 19 menu item. Burgers looked good. read more

I've been to this diner once before, and I remember it being very good. Decided to come here again today. The food is still delicious! Today, I went out for breakfast here, and I will say for a diner, their options are slightly limited! Most of the options on the menu weren't stuff that I quite liked! I finally narrowed it down to getting a breakfast burrito without the ham, since I don't eat ham! It was super delicious! The peppers inside gave it the nice crunch, and the cheese really melts in your mouth. We had really quick service as well! I will say though to me, this restaurant doesn't look like a diner. It feels more like a low key restaurant. If it was a diner, I would expect it to have all these lights, that you see on the outside of diner buildings. This place doesn't have that! It's just a really old dark building! Overall though, I did enjoy my meal here! read more

Used to go there often, but seeing how they've increased their prices on EVERYTHING..(Mac & Cheese $25..such a 'cheap' dish to make‼) they are price goughing their customers..won't be long before people stop going there and they lose money‼ read more

Great spot for heat diner experience. Love the foods and me and the family are never disappointed when we go. The portions are plenty and you leave fully satisfied. If your in Edison this is the diner you wanna go to. read more

One of my favorite places for a quick bite or a celebration of sorts. My last time I was there was for breakfast. I ordered eggs over easy, turkey bacon and rye toast. The eggs were delicious and the bacon was unbelievable. Tasted like real bacon (I miss it) but the turkey bacon was just as delicious. Well, what can I say about the rye toast but it was good. Had a nice cup of tea and a chocolate chip cookie for dessert. For $10 it was a lovely stuffing meal. All that + excellent attentive service = repeat customer. read more

Food and service were excellent. Huge portions. Warmer and more welcoming than most diners. A bit expensive

I've been many times with family and friends. At first I very much liked it but as of late I'm less than impressed. I'll give just one example. 3 weeks ago I asked if they have a fresh vegetable and the waiter told me there were a few. I settled on sauted spinach. It had so much garlic it was inedible. Sauted spinach is not rocket science. Easy peasy order. I went back last night and told the waiter about the garlic problem and ordered sauted spinach with my ruben sandwich, easy on the garlic. It had the perfect amount of garlic but was so salty it was inedible. I also bit into something hard. It seems they didn't wash it. Like I said, sauteed spinach should be easy peasy. At least the ruben was good. I'm going to the movies nearby tonight. I hope they can handle a different fresh vegetable. read more

Stopped in for dinner on my way home from work. I had a great bacon cheeseburger deluxe. The burger was perfectly cooked. The fries were seasoned well and the coleslaw was just the way I like it. For dessert I had coffee which was served nice and hot and a slice of baklava cheesecake....man was that an incredible piece of cake. All in all it was a great experience and I look foward to going back again. read more

sooo good!! Humus is either a hit or miss, and I was impressed at how good their humus was!! The fried zucchini sticks were very crunchy and fresh, were paired perfectly with their sauce. This place also has the BEST French toast I've ever had. I mean seriously, look how thick and soft! Not super sweet like most French toast tend to be. Their mimosas were also really good although not pictured. All food was fresh and warm! read more

Great service and awesome food! Great portion sizes, I had leftovers. Place is very clean and spacious. Highly recommended.

Came here last week on a Sunday afternoon around 1:30 PM. We were a party of two so were seated immediately. The first thing that you'll notice is how extensive the menu is at Edison Diner - which is great if you're not sure what you're in the mood for. After spending about 10 minutes looking at the menu, I finally decided to order their Chicken Croquettes dish which came with a soup, salad, and drink all for $9.95. You really can't beat that. This was also enough food for two people, in my opinion. For the soup, I had a choice between vegetable, chicken noodle, and something else I can't remember. I ended up choosing the vegetable which was light but also substantial. I then had the salad with balsamic vinaigrette. The salad was fresh and had plenty of different things such as grape tomatoes, thin slices of red onion, and croutons. Finally came the chicken croquettes. I was in a strange mood for soft and mushy comfort food (I know, sounds appetizing eh?), so since the chicken croquettes were fried and served on a mountain of creamy mashed potatoes and covered with turkey gravy, this definitely hit the spot for me. The only "complaint" I have is for the presentation, but I realize this is a diner, not a fine dining restaurant. It's just that the way they presented the two croquettes on top of the mashed potatoes seriously looked like boobs, though. And no, I'm not a 10 year old boy, in case you were wondering. I would definitely come back to Edison Diner. Their portions are huge, food is tasty and comforting, and prices are cheap. I believe it's open 24/7 as well. read more

1st time eating here and we went cause it was the only diner in the area that closed at 1am. I called to see what time they closed and lady on the phone said last seating is at 12am which was clearly a lie! after racing to get there by 12 am they were still seating people at 1230am! I ordered at simple egg white omelet with cheese and sausage, nothing else and my husband a cheeseburger deluxe!when we received our food which I have to say was pretty quick for them being so busy, my eggs were scrambled not a omelette at all and greasy AF! told The waitress about it she said that's the way they made their omelettes! So I asked her on what planet do they consider that an omelette and to top it all off I was paying $16 for this so called omelette without any of the sides! smh never again! not only are they overpriced but their food was nothing to write home about! disappointed to say the least! I didn't have it in me to keep giving my waitress a hard time about the food as she was already dealing with drunk,loud idiots at the next table! One and Done! read more

Dont go here. The food on a scale of 1 to 10 is a 4. The coffee cups were chipped, right where you put your lips to drink. You think the management would buy new coffee cups. The water glasses were plastic. The bread was bought from a store, not fresh. The jams were the cheap prepackaged type. The ketchup bottle was the cheap kind you find at a dollar store. Waitress was not friendly. Stay away. read more

One of the BEST diners in NJ, hands down! I've been coming to this place since I was a kid and basically grew up eating here. Favorites include Mediterranean chicken pasta, cheeseburger deluxe with fries, gyro/souvlaki platters, and so much more. They have a great dessert selection, too. Staff is very friendly and attentive. As a patron of over 20 years, I can't remember having a bad experience. When life gets rough, I can always count on The Edison Diner to hold it down. read more

I was in the Edison area and really had no particular idea what to have for lunch so decided to stop by what is usually a solid choice in Edison Diner. Good: My Tuna Melt was quite tasty. The tuna fish salad was fresh with not too much mayonnaise and nice contrast with onion and various seasonings. French fries were fried to a crisp texture with a soft interior. Coleslaw was surprisingly good as well. Sister had the Chicken Caesar Salad and it was a nice large portion of fresh greens and moist chicken breast. The Bad: Service was not up to par at all. Firstly our waiter did not ask us for our drink order, requiring us to flag him down to order our drinks (two coffees). After finishing our entrees we were each looking to get a dessert, but we literally waited 17 minutes until our waiter passed by; again having to motion to him to get his attention. At this point we were both fed up and decided against dessert (not knowing how long that ordeal could take), so we just opted to get the check, pay, and leave. We haven't experienced this poor of a level of service in a while, and hopefully don't for some time. read more

This is New Jersey, home of the diner. All other states "diners" do not compare. All you Denny's and IHOPS are just chains and just don't have the wide variety and seven to ten page menus that a Jersey diner will have. The Edison Diner is just such a place. It's been around for quite some time and heck, it's diner food. You come all times of the day or night and you can get whatever you want to eat. From the standard breakfast and Greek items to sandwiches, wraps and paninis. To salads, to homemade desserts and breads. Most likely it is on the menu somewhere. As for those desserts and breads, according to the placemats on the tables, it's all made in-house in their own bakery. So eat those giant cookies and eclairs, have a slice of apple pie or red velvet cake and grab one of those sticky, sweet Greek pastries. It's quite simple, you go to eat, not to stay healthy. Granted they do have healthy menu options, but really? You want to eat at 2am you aren't going for a salad.... you want a juicy cheeseburger or scrambled eggs with bacon and a side of pancakes. You want a gyro or a corned beef sandwich piled high with meat and a side of fries, slaw and a pickle. This is what you go for, this is what you expect and it's all good to me when I visit the garden state. Enjoy. read more

The Edison Diner - bacon egg and cheese sandwich - Diners Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Menu selection is huge, however I think some of the items on the menu are overpriced. I ordered a chocolate pancake with side of home fries. The pancakes are delicious so definitely order them! My friend ordered a meatloaf entree which is huge, so I would recommend sharing with a friend. It comes with a drink the entree with pasta, soup, salad, and dessert! Unfortunately my friend ordered a chicken finger appetizer and it was disappointing in several factors. The price was $8.95 and it only came with 4 thin pieces of chicken finger. The quantity does not meet the price and the quality tasted like microwaveable chicken. I would not recommend ordering the chicken fingers. The servers are nice, but the service was extremely slow. We had to ask our server several times to refill coffee before he remembered. He is extremely friendly however did not check up on our table often. I'm not sure if it was just that night because usually service is pretty quick when I go. read more

All I can say is WOW! This place was great! We had a party of 6 and everyone loved their food. I ordered a chef salad and asked for the large salad and the waitress laughed and said it's pretty big so I said okay let's go with the small one. Lol the "small" salad was every bit of probably 5 lbs! I ate 3 meals on it and still never finished. I'll definitely be back when I'm in town... read more

The Edison Diner - What a salad! And this is their SMALL! - Diners Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

This diner is amazing and open all day and night 24/7. It's my go to spot for late night munchies and date nights. Their food is absolutely amazing - and their menu is enormous with dozens of options to choose from, with many strange and different dishes unseen of as well as conventional "American" foods - from breakfast to lunch sandwiches to dinner pastas, meats, burgers and more. I often come here and spend 20 minutes just figuring out what I want to eat - toooooo many options! The meals have rather large servings and you're often sent home with a doggy bag because of how much food they give you. My favorite part of this diner is their dessert menu. Everything is home made from scratch and cakes slices are bigger than my hand. I've tried almost everything on their dessert menu - and it's all divine! I recommend their chocolate mousse cake though, it's some of the best I've ever had. Tonight I tried this weird turkey, ham, American & provolone cheese warm sandwich in cinnamon French toast bread with powdered sugar and raspberry jam on the side. It was so strange yet delightful and new. We also had mozzarella sticks which were decent - their marinara sauce is really good though and tangy, but the cheese in the sticks is the chewy stretchy (not melty) kind - great breeding though. read more

Had a wonderful first experience here. Although we had to wait we expected it since Sundays are usually the busiest of times for diners. The wait was brief only 5-10 minutes. I was in the mood for lunch even though it was only 11am. I ordered the gyro platter which was much larger than I had expected it to be. There cucumber tzatziki was outstanding, a bit more on the garlicky side but there is no such thing as "to much garlic" in my opinion. The gyro sandwich was also served with a Greek salad and a side a fries, so of course I had leftovers. The platter was 10.95 and well worth it. My fellow foodies ordered pancakes and waffles which they said were delicious. The service was also very accommodating as all our needs and requests were met. I will be returning here for future breakfast outings. read more

This was my first visit to The Edison Diner. I was pretty impressed with the environment and extremely friendly staff. We were seated almost immediately. When I saw the menu I was shocked with the variety of drinks and meals, which excited me. Our meals came out within a couple of minutes and they were fresh and tasted amazing. However, one of the plates that came with my meal had an awful odor to it. It smelled almost rotten. Thankfully, my food was in a bowl that was placed on the plate so I just removed the plate and enjoyed my meal. When I got my check though, I was shocked by the prices. It's pretty pricey compared to your local diner. I ordered a panini and salad for 45 dollars. Any other diner you would get the same exact meal for half the price. Overall, I had a pretty great time and the staff was very accommodating with everything. Not sure whether I would visit this diner again though. read more

We googled Edison Diner and saw their hours were till 1am on Saturday. We ubered from 20 min away and arrived at 12:28am. We waited a few moments for the hostess as she was talking to someone..When someone came up to us they refused to serve us stating they closed 2 minutes ago. We observed the restaurant still packed and asked to make an exception but they refused..Very unprofessional to not have updated hours posted read more

Legit, classic diner. Pancakes and eggs all day, burgers, greek specialties, fried foods, pasta, seafood and steaks that you shouldn't really order because it's a diner but you just might because they actually aren't that bad, and a slew of baked goods. It's a diner. It's cheap, it's convenient, it's open late. That's all there is to it. read more

Eating here is usually pretty good for a casual meal. For take out: STAY AWAY. If you don't heed that warning then don't tip until you have your food.

We tried the Skylark Diner across the highway just recently, and wanted to compare coffee, if nothing else, with Edison. No comparison, as Edison's coffee would make any New Jersian proud to call it a great representative of Jersey diner coffee. Interior-wise, Skylark is more interesting, but the Edison's use of Renoir's 1881 painting "Luncheon of the Boat Party" added sophistication to the meal. Also, the front of the menu shows Thomas Edison on the front and a clever line, "Open 24 hours, thanks to me." We got the hamburger deluxe as well as the small portion of a Greek salad. There was nothing small about either, although given the price of the salad, it warranted a large potion ($11). The burger ($7 alone, $9 deluxe) was very large and served on a premise-made bun that was spectacular. The fries were plentiful and a rad too greasy, but worth the $2. Would have loved to try a dessert but no room left for such, hopefully we can next time. read more
