While attending the Clinton Red Mill Christmas Market we decided to enjoy a nice break from the crowds and grab some lunch nearby. We had a twenty minute wait and the front service associate took our cell and contacted us as we enjoyed walking around until They were ready. The NJ Club Sandwich of turkey and bacon was very good. An old cafe diner ambiance which created a nice relaxed and pleasant environment. read more

At the heart of downtown Clinton is the Towne Restaurant. To start off I have rated this establishment based on breakfast primarily and an occasional lunch, I have never been for dinner. The restaurant is "town homey", warm & cheerful. I would classify this as a dinner type eatery, seating is a bit tight but there is always cheerful banter going on. There is almost always a wait on Saturday or Sunday for breakfast but the food is consistently good and wait staff is great. Prices are very fair and coffee keeps coming. Overall quaint, welcoming and relaxed. read more

I had been going to Clinton since I was a child, but I had yet to dine at The Towne Restaurant, an upscale diner that had been around for 50 years. However, we were recently walking through the quaint village and were in need of a lunch spot when we came across the place. There were several tables outside, most of which were already taken, as well as a standard diner vibe inside (counter, booths, etc.). We were able to grab one of the sidewalk tables and settled in to browse through the lengthy breakfast and lunch options at our disposal. The reason I had referred to the restaurant as "upscale" was because they noted all of the local purveyors that were supplying their ingredients - bread from a bakery in Denville, eggs from a farm in Pennsylvania, etc. Between those footnotes and the friendly staff, the established venue obviously valued its patrons and wanted to provide the best possible experience. In the end, I settled on an Unsweetened Iced Tea and an Egg White Veggie Omelet. Iced tea could occasionally be watery, but not this one; it was bold, robust, and freshly brewed. The vegetable omelet was not runny or greasy and was cooked exactly to my liking. I could have added extra fillings to it, but I also wished that it, as it was, included more than just 3 ingredients: broccoli, roasted red peppers, and mushrooms. The eggs came with a generously-sized patty of home fries that was also cooked to perfection with a crunchy exterior. Lastly, the whole wheat toast was similarly enjoyable. The Towne Restaurant might be a diner, but it is not your average greasy spoon version; their customer service and food put them several steps above the rest! read more

The Towne Diner in Clinton NJ is @ best mediocre, their food is inconsistent, you're lucky if you go twice & enjoy the food. Beyond the food not being good @ least more than 1/2 of time, they are severely overpriced. One thing I must say the staff & owners are very kind & friendly. read more

Located on the quaint main street of Clinton, this diner-themed restaurant is a perfect fit. We stopped in on a Saturday morning and there was plenty of seating available. We were seated in time to order from the breakfast menu, which closes at 11 am. They had plenty of the typical breakfast fare, with some creative specials. I opted for a classic eggs Benedict and regretted it. The only flavor that came through was the Canadian bacon. The hollandaise sauce moistened my potatoes but it was lacking in any flavor contribution. Thankfully my wife had a better experience with her green eggs and ham breakfast sandwich. The homemade pesto paired perfectly with the spinach and provolone. The ham was thinly sliced and the flavor came through nicely without overpowering the sandwich. An overall pleasant dining experience, but nothing too standout. read more

It is a small, busy restaurant in the heart of downtown Clinton, NJ. I was there on Sunday around 11:30 a.m., and the Waiting line was out the door. We were lucky that we decided to sit at the bar; there was no wait if you sat at the bar. The bar stool was comfortable as if it were in the old diner style. We got a traditional breakfast with eggs, pancakes/french toast, and sausage links. Service was top-notch. We were there for about an hour; the place kept getting customers non-stop. The food was good, but it took a while since it was a bustling restaurant. The service was good and very attentive. I would return. The Clinton town was also cute and had a unique vibe. I would recommend it to anyone looking to get away for a quick breakfast/lunch in a unique niche town. read more

This is the only option (and a great one) for diner style food in the heart of downtown Clinton. There's limited seating out front with booths, tables and counter service inside. On this visit, my son had a burger and fries. He said the burger was cooked to his liking and was very good. The fries came out hot and crispy but were lacking salt! I had the Greek Power Bowl and it was so much better than expected. The spinach was ever so slightly warmed and wilted with the warm quinoa and that made it perfect! Be sure to ask for extra homemade tzatziki sauce that comes with it because it is delicious. I was very happy with our waitress today and the cashiers/owners are always very pleasant. I'll be back soon to review some breakfast items. read more

Very pleasantly surprised, given some of the reviews. Very nice diner-type restaurant. Right on main street in Clinton with a spacious and clean dining room. Standard diner menu with a vast array of foods. We got a chipotle chicken sandwich which had nice, juicy grilled chicken, a generous amount of cheese, crispy bacon, and a dollop of chipotle mayo. Emphasis on the crispy bacon, which many places miss the mark on. Also got a burger, which was a bit overdone but that is the price to pay for ordering it medium. The fries were very good although they had a unique property of the salt not adhering to them somehow. Oh well, just salted the ketchup. The onion rings were thick yet and crispy and cooked all the way through. My one complaint is the ketchup bottles looked really, really old which leads me to believe they've been married (refilled) a ton of times. Just a bit off-putting. But, all-in-all, a very good experience and will definitely go back. read more

A very standard NJ diner! I stopped by with my sister and cousin on a Saturday afternoon, and we were seated immediately at a table near the back. They also had outdoor seating out front, which is great for people watching. The ambiance was very casual and as far as diners go, I can't say this one was exceptionally charming - just regular. Our server was attentive and service was pretty quick overall. My sister and I ordered the Twisted Salmon (sandwich) and Mozzarella Sticks to share and my cousin got the Yeeros Sandwich with lamb and a Lemonade. The Mozzarella Sticks were very standard, but we liked the Twisted Salmon a lot - all the right ingredients in the right amounts. The Yeeros Sandwich was also pretty good, although the fries on the side were not the best. Pricing was extremely reasonable though, and we spent under $40 (before tip) as a group. Nothing special but not bad! read more

Had a rough morning, my lovely friend took me for some breakfast and we definitely picked the right place. We both got the 2x2 which is your choice of pancakes or french toast, sausage bacon or ham, and your choice of two eggs. Toppings are an additional fee, i added some bananas. Everything was cooked perfectly, my scrambled eggs were nice and fluffy and the french toast was delightfully cinnamon-y. Our waitress was very lovely and had a beautiful smile, checked up on us often but not in an annoying way. The place was very cute I loved the maple leaf syrup bottle as well as the little container for the creamer. Perfect place for a little brunch and a good chat. Also reasonably priced! read more

Expensive, hit and miss place. When it's good it's good... when it's not, it's not. Breakfast for 2 could easily run you 40 bucks with tip. Service isn't reliable. Again, not bad... but it's no where near as good as Gronky's in High Bridge. read more

Great service, very good food. This is a good place to stop for breakfast or lunch in Clinton New Jersey.

Cozy place with good food and pleasant staff. Reasonable prices with a variety of menu choices. We will be returning.

Me and my family went here while on Main Street. The food was great and so were the servers. I had the bbq burger, and it was very good. The atmosphere was good as well and I would go back. read more

It was busy for weekend lunch & took a while for someone to come over to greet. Street parking was hard to find but there is a lot a few blocks over which had spots. I got the Dutch burger which was decent, the bacon on it was smoky. The fries were piping hot. As expected for a diner-ish place. Sever was fantastic! read more

Service is excellent. We had a large group, everyone was very happy with their order. We will go back soon.

More diner style than restaurant, with counter seating and booths. Excellent breakfast. Ample portions at reasonable prices. Service can be a little slow, so it's not the place to stop if you're in a hurry. read more

Good American style restaurant for breakfast or lunch. Great service and good food. Po-boy sandwich was delicious.

I lived here for almost 14 yrs and I've never been the Towne restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised. I had breakfast and the service was fast even though they were busy, it was a late Sunday morning. My server was happy and polite. Food came out fast. The eggs I had over very easy and they were some of the best eggs I've had. I enjoyed so much I went back next day for hamburger. It was just ok but loaded Up with Lettie and tomato. French fries were crunchy and crispy with little being over done. Can't wait to try more of the menu. I got lucky bouts days with parking but I can see that it can be difficult. A very friendly place I recommend read more

I love this place and go there all the time to get one item on their specials menu. I am generally very happy with the food and service. However, like everyone they have off days...apparently...as my food was sub par...it was taking forever to get my coffee refill...t was December and I could not help but think about Hugh Grant line in love actually...when he was looking for coffee and cookies... Anyhow, to quote another favorite of mine 'I will be back' read more

My husband ordered a burger, yeero platter and I had the turkey platter. The burger was dry and a puck straight from the freezer though edible but nothing I would recommend. His yeero platter was also meh. Way too many greens as a filler and sparse under seasoned, and again meat straight from the freezer. The turkey platter was criminally bad. The turkey was dry, the potatoes and gravy completely tasteless, and their "special homemade sausage stuffing" foul mush. I have never once had a stuffing I disliked so much I didn't eat and spit out. Actually I can count on one hand the number of times I've spit food out it was so bad to give you an idea of the quality. Warning to other turkey platter lovers, avoid this dish at all costs. Also, after paying and putting it in a box for the animals we found a hair nestled in the stuffing. Reading reviews after our visit I see this is a common problem. The *only* positive thing I have to say is our coffee was kept full. The town is adorable and I encourage you to take a quick stroll, just keep on walking when you see this restaurant. read more

Me and my family came to this restaurant for breakfast on a holiday weekend around 8:30 and enjoyed it very much. The service was great and the food was very delicious! This seemed to be the place that all the locals come to and I can definitely see why. The inside is decent, a little older, but still very clean. The coffee wasn't bad compared to other breakfast places that I've been to in the past. The food seemed very fresh and you can see the cooks cooking your food. Overall, a very pleasant dining experience! If you ever find yourself in Clinton, New Jersey, definitely stop by this restaurant! read more

Nice and typical NJ diner. The waitstaff were very sweet and the inside was very cozy. I got a patty melt with fries and it was delicious, tasted like a classic burger you're used to at a Jersey diner. I really liked this place and would come back if I'm in the Clinton area read more

I like it. They don't have a vast menus but they are good at what they do have. The staff is great and the owners are very personable and engaged. Clean establishment. We now frequent for breakfast mainly and sometimes lunch or Friday dinners. It's our staple in our area and go to place. read more

Been here a bunch of times and still have yet to have a good meal. Went today with my wife for a late breakfast and the service was poor (didn't get a cup of coffee for 10 minutes and they weren't crowded at all), they messed up my order and nothing had much taste. The home fries were especially bland. I have no idea why the reviews are as high as they are. Except the location is great - downtown Clinton. UPDATE I've had their spinach salad a couple of times recently and it's pretty good. But they can't add poached eggs to it for some reason to do with the kitchen. Also they are dog friendly outside and happily get my dog water. I added a star to the review. read more

We have been coming to Towne Restaurant for years! Our latest visit was so spectacular I decided to leave a review. We have 2 little kids and when we came into the restaurant we were pleasantly surprised with a visit from Santa! After snapping a few shots for our Christmas card with the Big man, we sat down to order. The service was prompt and our waitress checked in with us throughout our meal to on make sure we were enjoying everything. I had a fantastic Greek style avocado and feta toast topped with perfectly poached eggs. My husband had an omelet that was right up his alley and the kids enjoyed pancakes a bacon. Highly recommend you check them out. read more

Grew up in Clinton from 78 to 88 and the Towne Restaurant was a staple then and people take the time to go. Last time I had the goat cheese with pesto and spinach. Great.
