I have been going to this diner for over 15 years, and I've usually had a positive experience there, but last night was the last time I'll order from the Edison Diner ever again. I placed a to-go order for a Philly Cheesesteak ($10.95) and a Midnight Cubano ($11.95). Unfortunately right after I placed the order, I received a call from my sister who notified me of a serious personal emergency that involved my 12 year old nephew, and I had to go meet her in South NJ. I immediately realized I would be unable to pick up my dinner (or even eat dinner, lol), so I called the diner back right away to cancel. Now, when most people have a personal emergency, calling back a place of business to cancel their to-go order is usually the last thing they think about... but I called them back and canceled less than 6 minutes after placing my order. The manager on the line sounded annoyed but canceled the food. I figured that was the end of it and started driving to my sister's, but I was wrong. The manager who canceled my order called me back a few minutes later and he had something to say: Manager: "Your food is finished, you need to come pick it up." Me: "I thought I just told you, I have a serious personal emergency, that's why I had to cancel before, I'm really sorry." Manager: "What you want me to do? Throw food out?? (pause) You don't order to-go from here anymore, you understand?! I have your number!" Me: "Okay." Manager: "You don't order to-go from here anymore! Ever!" Me: "Sure." Manager: *click* The conversation may not sound like much, but based on his tone, he sounded so angry that one could easily imagine venom dripping from his teeth. The manager in question KNOWS me. He knows I've been coming to this place for over 15 years. He knows I've never once complained about any of my meals, even when the food quality dropped a little a few years ago, nor did I complain about their menu price hikes. Over my 15 years of loyal patronage I've spent in excess of $10k and THIS is how I'm treated?? When my 12 year old nephew is in crisis!?!?! Over a $24 check!? That's fine, I'll just stick with Omega and Skylark from now on, you won't get another dollar from me. Screw you and your crappy English too, pal. read more

5-16-14 Today i went here for breakfast with my son. The waitress spilled a hot cup of coffee on my shirt and lap. After she spilled it on me she immediately tried blaming it on my son even though i clearly saw her spill it on me. She even heisted before giving me a towel to clean my self off. The owner Peggy came to see what happened and said they were sorry. At the end of the bland tasteless meal they gave us the bill. I went to the cash register and they charged me the full amount and would not compensate me for my inconvenience or for dry cleaning since they spilled coffee all over my raw denim jeans and on my button up shirt. the owner just sat in her booth and glared at me not even approaching me. I guess the rumors of her being nasty are true and thats why theres always a help wanted sign outside there place and always new employees. The worst part is i recently had surgery on my shoulder and when the hot coffee was spilled on me i jumped back and banged my shoulder which did cause me a great deal of pain. I can tell you i will not be coming back here and i wouldn't have went there anymore anyway since the food wasn't even good, it was very bland and since i was younger it has gone down hill. read more

A Comfy Diner Edison Diner, located in Edison, New Jersey, was a welcoming place to enter during the early morning rains. Upon arrival, my mother and I were welcomed by the staff at the front desk immediately, all of them wearing a genuine and warm smile. Our server was friendly and the atmosphere was homely and comfy. I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich and was able to customize it to add grilled onions, peppers, and tomatoes. All of this was thanks to our wonderful waitress who made sure that the kitchen got our order right. In addition, she continued to interact with us after bringing us our food, telling us that they might have to add this new item to the menu. The atmosphere and service added to the wonderful experience my mom and I had at Edison Diner. I look forward to returning there again. read more

Excellent dinners. The prime rib is as good as I've had any steakhouse. Not only do you get the soup, salad, potato and vegetable, but they also give you a big bread basket that has a few different types of bread. So it's actually a much better value than going to a steakhouse. Excellent burgers as well, and the Philly cheesesteak is among the best I've had. Mushrooms, onions and peppers. You actually get a combo of green, red and yellow peppers. This diner goes above and beyond. Really top notch. I brought home a piece of blueberry cobbler last time as well, and it was delicious. A blueberry filling that was topped with fresh blueberries. They do all the baking right there at the diner. read more

I had such an amazing experience at this diner! From the moment we walked in, the staff was so friendly and welcoming. The menu is huge -- honestly a little overwhelming at first -- but in the best way, because there's truly something for everyone. I ended up getting a sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious. Everyone in my group loved their meals, and we all agreed the food was top-notch. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, which made the whole experience even better. If you're looking for a spot with great food, great vibes, and a ton of options, this is the place. Can't wait to come back! read more

Went to this diner last night, and loved everything I had. Started out with a crock of the french onion soup. Outstanding. Then I had the Portabella Chicken Wrap. The chicken and mushrooms were extremely high quality, and the melted provolone finished off the wrap perfectly. One of the best wraps I've ever had. Brought home a piece of chocolate layer cake for dessert, and it was delicious. The waitress was very friendly and gave excellent service. Terrific experience with this diner last night. I'll have to go back to try other things, but it gets five stars for last night. read more

The best diner I've ever been to. Great whether you want breakfast, lunch or dinner. The wood fired salmon filet is one of the best dinners I've ever had. They put an extremely high quality salmon filet on top of a bed of yellow squash, green zucchini, peppers, onions, mushrooms, carrots and broccoli. Their burgers and roast beef are of the highest quality too. For breakfast I love the choc chip pancakes and thick cinnamon swirl french toast. Everything here is top notch. read more

Majority of the employees working there are ILLEGAL aliens. One of them sells narcotics while on the clock, so if you're seeking to boost your experience with cocaine, the short bald guy who pretends to be a manager can point you to the drug dealer ....horrendous management.....if you'd like to frequent an operation with majority ILLEGAL aliens and a Napoleon Complex undercover gay dude running the show, give Edison Diner a try.....great job read more

This place has great food. I don't mind paying for a good meal. They specialize in Greek cuisine but everything is good. Wait staff is awesome. Not the first time I've eaten there, but I thought it was time to write a review. had the pork chops, and they were first class. I will return again, and I encourage others to hit them up, you will not be sorry!! Thanks for a great meal! read more

I've been here a handful of times recently, and each time the service and food were good. Last week I tried the veal parmigian sandwich, and it was very good. The veal was very tender and high quality, and it was topped with a very generous amount of cheese. Not to mention they gave a huge amount of fries. You'll never walk away from this place hungry. read more

This has been my favorite diner for many years. The quality of the food is extremely high. The dinner I had here last week is another example. Broiled salmon, baked potato, cauliflower, soup, salad and a few different types of bread. Talk about a complete meal for a reasonable price! Everything was delicious. Blows away a salmon dinner at Red Lobster. read more

Nasty people work here! Especially the little bald headed man. Shouldn't be working with the public. Even the black haired lady (host I assume) was not very nice. When anyone tries to shove a notebook under their customers nose and say see, see, to try and prove his point, he should quit or get fired cause anyone can see he's a miserable person! read more

I live close to here and the "24 hour" open is a huge plus! I've never had a problem with the service and as a vegetarian hey always accommodate me as best as possible. The food is never subpar and be sure to ask for the soup of the day! There is always great soup flavors. My favorite being the vegetable soup on Sunday's and the tomato rice soup. read more

pretty good diner for the area. cheap prices and they have really good breakfast. Cinnamon French toast is a personal favorite. I go there quiet a bit and it always seems to have lots of people there. the only downside is sometimes the parking can be a pain. read more

Yesterday I had one of the best seafood dishes ever. It came with a variety of seafoods, including a lobster tail, and had so much and was so fresh. 5 stars is not enough to rate this dish because it deserves a much higher rating. read more
