    bagel and lox! (3/16/24)
    Tricia G.

    I was surprised at check in that Id never been. Totally cute, cozy and clean diner. Did I say how very much I love diners?! Super service. My bagel and lox was on point! Joey's breakfast sandwich- same. Their dessert selection was slim Pickens, but I never get it anyway. I just like looking and drooling lol! Id absolutely go back!

    Fried flounder sandwich.

    Looks like an old school diner from the outside. Inside are a variety of booth, table and counter seats. What we ordered and what we could see being delivered around us were large portions and the menu is reasonably priced. Bathroom was clean and well stocked. The waitress was attentive and handled our couple requests quickly. Plenty of vegetarian and some vegan options. Vegan crispy chicken can be substituted in most salads and a veg burger can replace the burgers on the menu.

    Great local gem. Staff is very friendly, food taste delicious, and is affordable. Everyone seems to know everyone when listening to conversations. There's table seating, booth seating and bar top. I may have over looked it but a jukebox seems to be the only thing I can think of that would be missing! Over all great place, can't wait to come back!

    The food was good diner fare. They have a vast menu. I enjoyed my food - I got the Cajun chicken club with no bacon. My friend got the Southwestern salad and she said the dressing was not a good fit for the salad. The server did ask if we wanted a different dressing to go with the salad, but my friend declined. I'm sure one of their other options would have been a good fit. The cheese pizza was good too. Re: ambiance. It was what you expect from a diner - you know, average noise level, people sitting at the bar drinking coffee, families eating with their little ones, etc. It was a very clean restaurant. The service was excellent - for some reason, the servers kept rotating through different sections, so we had 3 different servers in the short time we were there. All 3 ladies provided excellent customer service.

    You won't go wrong with onion soup!
    Meredith R.

    When people claim that Jersey has the best diners, they sure as hell aren't talking about this place. The only worthwhile item on our lunch special was onion soup, served in a crock and topped with melted cheese. 3.5 stars! Everything else, a paltry two. And that's being generous. ***Who ever heard of serving undercooked and mushy crab cake batter that one could eat with a spoon? Feh! ***The chicken souvlaki was nothing more than diced feta and what I imagine is their underwhelming chicken salad, stuffed into pita. Feh! ***Fries were limp and tasteless. You guessed it: feh! Y'know how diners always have revolving displays of decadent desserts by their entrance? Not this place. It should've been our tip-off. Our waitress said something about the next time we come in, to which I thought, 'you gotta be kidding!'

    Great food at great prices! Definitely an updated diner feel with quick happy service. We got two meals and then some (take home boxes for both of us).

    Chocolate milkshake!
    Alicia C.

    Stopped by for a quick meal on our way back home. This diner is a homey vibe - the kind of diners you grew up with in NJ. The server we had was extremely nice and attentive. It wasn't too lively but also not too quiet. My guest and I both got the chicken parm which I thought was very good. I judge a diner by their side vegetables and they were fresh (not canned!) so I was sold. For dessert, we indulged in a chocolate milkshake (pictured) which was very good and a generous size. Would definitely return to check out more of their menu to solidify a five stars!

    Gyro - so good.

    Did you know Jersey Girl was filmed here? I almost was obnoxious enough to ask which seat JLo sat in, but I was with other people and I didn't want to embarrass myself. Thoroughly enjoyed our Girly Brunch here. I never would have found this place on my own, so glad it came up as an option. The menu was yuuuuge. I literally could not decide on what to get, and our poor server had to come back three times before we all got our act together and made a decision. I opted for the gyro with the generic "spiced meat" option - it didn't specifically say lamb, but I took the plunge and ordered it. And then I asked to swap out the french fries with onion rings, and it wasn't a problem (although common courtesy would have been for the server to say, "Sure, there's an extra charge, is that ok?" Just a tip for the future. I didn't think to ask, and only saw the upcharge when we were trying to settle the bill among our group. By the way, it was an additional $1.50 I think. As for the gyro platter - Really delicious and filling, and it was about $11 for the platter.

    French dip

    3.5 First time at the new Berlin diner but won't be the last. I found the portion sizes generous with a reasonable prize tag. As most diners the menu is large and a bit overwhelming especially if you have no idea what you feel like eating. Shared the lamb gyro sandwich and the French dip sandwich. Both were very tasty and served with fries. The salad was huge and I was told the chicken was seasoned nicely. The server was fair but did allow us to seat and visit after our meal was over without making us feel we needed to leave.

    Extremely hard rolls

    Overall it wasn't a bad experience... as a party of 4 - 2 loved there meals and 2 didn't care for it. The bread was beyond stale and the soup was cold. The prime rib (pictured) was the best item ordered - however the sides were warm - definitely not hot. The waitress was friendly and the prices economical.

    This place is small but cozy. The food was good with big portions. I liked the tea, chicken rice soup, steak and special crab entree.

    THIS PLACE SLAPS…read more Breakfast and dinner are 5/5. Such great food, great service, and an absolutely beautiful hybrid patio area. The drinks are incredible as well while being fairly priced. I did not think this place would be so good but it's found its way up on my top 5 list in southern NJ. Tastefully thought out menu that does everything so well, and it's not even that expensive!

    I normally love Cinder Bar, but unfortunately, after my experience yesterday, I don't think I can…read morereturn. I have been coming here since they first opened, and it has always been one of my favorite spots. Over the years, the food has consistently been great and I've always had good experiences with the service, which makes yesterday especially disappointing. From the beginning, it seemed like our server had far too many tables and was overwhelmed with the workload. We initially ordered our appetizers, and when she brought them out, we told her we were ready to put in our entrées. She said okay, but then did not return to our table for another 20 minutes to actually take our order. We were left sitting there waiting despite already telling her we were ready to order. I completely understand that restaurants get busy and that servers can be stretched thin. However, the lack of attention to our table made the entire experience frustrating, especially at a restaurant where I've had such consistently good service in the past. Unfortunately, the food was also not up to the quality I've come to expect from Cinder Bar. To make matters worse, after eating there, I became extremely sick with symptoms consistent with food poisoning. I normally wouldn't let one bad experience erase years of positive ones, but between the extremely slow service, disappointing food, and becoming sick afterward, this experience was bad enough that I no longer feel comfortable returning. It's genuinely disappointing because Cinder Bar has been one of my favorite restaurants since they opened, and I have recommended it to others many times. I really hope management looks into both the staffing situation and what may have happened with the food that day, because yesterday's experience was completely different from the Cinder Bar I've known and enjoyed for years.

This had the right music playing, high energy staff, and unique food options with great presentation PLUS it's BYOB!! SERVICE While I had already prepared to not be in a rush, the food actually came out in a timely manner and in the right order. (Cuz yall know soooome of these restaurants bring apps and entrees out at the same time .) We also had a newer waitress and she was assisted by someone else, so I'd say the service was pretty good! DRINKS Like I mentioned this place is BYOB (cue angelic music! I love a byob). They provide nicely presented mocktails plus you can get a mimosa tower that comes with a whole show lol. I recommend asking them to pour two bottles of champagne into the tower bc the mix is pretty sweet. The tower also comes with a flight of mixers and the entire thing can easily serve a crowd. FOOD This is an INDULGENT spot. Do not expect a salad. (But also can you add a few healthier things so I can come back more often?? Just asking.) Anyway, most things are fried, even things you wouldn't think of like deviled eggs, grits, sweet potato pie... (We had all three and approve haha but I do wish they'd offer non-fried versions as well.) I saw someone say the waffle wasn't cooked all the way in a review... they make theirs more cakey so it's different than others--still good. For the vegan chicken and waffles I believe they used an impossible cutlet. It's good and fried separately according to the waitress. I love that. Still, I am like 50% sure this is not a vegan meal. Ngl, ion think most blk ppl know what vegan fr is but they trying at least?? Because I'm pretty sure egg, milk, or butter was used so it is vegetarian, not vegan. Overall we really loved our experience and would have lingered longer if we didn't have somewhere to be. I hope this business prospers! I hope you support while also giving grace. We'll be back with friends. Can't wait!

Was escorted to our table by a lovely hostess, but that's when the stellar service ended. A woman came over to our table who ended up being our server to abruptly tell us to hand her the tip that was on the table. The table hadn't been bussed from the previous occupants, our server didn't acknowledge that, or greet us, or introduce herself, she just told us, "hand me that money please". Welcome to Jersey I guess! Anyhow, it's a typical NJ diner with an unnecessarily massive menu, extremely large portions, but still relatively fair pricing. Our server was clearly experienced, but she was very curt and not friendly at all. Food was plentiful and mostly enjoyed. The hash browns were burnt, and very different, as the texture under the top crust was like mashed potatoes and they weren't seasoned at all. The eggs needed salt and pepper also. The French toast was good. The French toast with apples was also good, but had too much apple and whipped cream. It was like a dessert. It's a diner so I wasn't expecting Michelin worthy food, but I was so put off by the service, it colored the rest of the experience.
