Not my favorite. The food was okay, but typical diner stuff. Service was friendly.

OOOOOO I was at this diner at 11:00PM on a saturday night. Not exactly prime time. The burger looked good. My friend ordered cheese fries (which came out of the kitchen in 38 seconds or less) that was covered in good ole cheese whiz. Unfortunately it was luke warm, which is so so so so unappetizing. I still have nightmares about these fries. read more

This place has amazing food and a huge variety of foods. They have Gluten Free, healthy foods, Greek foods, classic American, etc. This place really upholds the title of being a New Jersey diner. The portions were incredible. One fault is it is very messy. Things fell apart, like my Caesar salad wrap, and my friends taco salad was a mess. Other than that, the drinks were a variety of choices and this was a great place. read more

An antiquated dump. Old interior. Food eh. Service and cleanliness eh. To be honest I'd rather eat at McDonalds. It needs a complete overhaul. Location is great but it lacks newness. Management needs to step up their game and renovate. read more

I live locally, gave this diner 3 chances like another reviewer. Not going again. Had the chicken salad. Had strong onion taste with pieces of red onion - overwhelming. Chicken did not taste good, ate the fries. Did not complain. Significant other had turkey, he was not happy with either. Both were wraps. To chef: chicken salad is the easiest to prepare - chicken, mayo, a small amount of finely chopped onion (not red onion), celery, salt and pepper. Keep it simple. Not sure if owners are the same either. This is my first Yelp review as I felt the strong need to warn others. Service was excellent, reason for the 2 stars. read more

Love this place! Great food. Lots of options. Great service. The Jersey French Toast Sandwich is AMAZING! The Southwestern Panini is also!

I have been coming here for years! One of the cleanest diners in NJ for sure and the food is great! The waiters and waitresses are extremely lovely. Food always is fresh and hot. We love seeing Dimos and his cheery self! However we miss seeing Kristina with a "K" and Afrodite and their son Johnny! The others are slightly miserable (dont know their names) but hey cant all be happy! read more

Went here with my mom during a visit to the area, We got seated pretty quickly and our orders only took a few minutes to come out. I ordered a Nacho salad which was pretty good. It had "bacon bits" which were actually fairly big pieces of bacon which was nice. My mom ordered Beef Bistro Steak Salad and they didn't over cook the steak like a lot of places. The waitress was nice but a bit odd, at one point I had water which was about half full and she snatched it from behind me and came back in a few seconds with a filled one which was fine by me. Overall I would say this diner is pretty good for anyone thinking about eating here read more

Service was not very good for a slow afternoon. Soup and salad came out for me while soup for wife was not served. Took three requests until a manager reminded server about her cup of souo. When my wife's meal was delivered I was informed they were out of my entree. Will never go back read more

I don't understand some of these reviews, and have been to this diner at least ten times. Once I did get a rather funky omelet but my order was immediately replaced. Portions are generous and quality is above average for diners. I have never had a problem with the service, it has always been prompt and courteous and thorough. The greek salad is delicious. I must go back to see if the service or product has declined in quality and will amend this review if it has. read more

Do not order the Shrimp Scampi. It was disgusting. Had no flavor at all; it actually tasted like pure grease.

This is our favorite diner! Food is always good. Never disappointed in the food or the service.

It is a good diner. The problem I see is the sides, vegetables are lackluster. The mixed vegetables I had were like out of a frozen box, a bit dry and tough - hard. Not anything to enhance the taste really. Boring. read more

The food is atrocious and coupled with the incompetent service a total miss. Terrible excuse for a Greek salad. Managers useless. Don't go! Take your business and your hard earned dollars and go elsewhere. Zero stars! read more

I have been eating here for over 20 years. The breakfast comes within minutes of ordering...very fresh and high quality. Salads, burgers, Greek meals are awesome. You can never go wrong with Townsquare. read more

This is my favorite Diner! The staff is always so friendly and cater to what i ask for. HAnds down the best Greek Salads and Disco Fries. They just started remodeling, can't wait to see when its done! read more

I have been going to the Townsquare Diner since they opened. I like the place they have good food, friendly and I like that they have gluten free options. read more

I had the seafood crab cake which was the tastiest I've ever eaten. It had small chunks of crab and whole shrimps. We made the mistake of ordering an appetizer and just couldn't finish our main meal. Took a doggy bag and ate the leftovers at the airport the next day while waiting to board our plane. They weren't bad at all ! read more

Beautiful Diner. Great staff, good food. Very clean, good atmosphere. If ever in the area, I will definitely be back. Outside patio is a plus. Owner/Cashier/Manager was very nice, along with our waitress. read more

Over priced breakfast and no children sized breakfast options. Spent over $22 on breakfast for my small child and I. Was not worth it. Waffle was over cooked and The hollandaise sauce was two thumbs down. read more

A couple of days ago I went to eat at this diner. They messed up my fiancés order really bad to the point it had to be sent back 3 times..a couple day later I ordered the same two dishes over the pone and I made sure to be very clear about the order. Just one beef gyro wrap and a buffalo chicken wrap..they asked me if I wanted the gyro wrap on a regular gyro pita wrap or like a plater. I said I would like it on a regular gyro wrap not a sandwich wrap a regular gyro wrap they said ok. so I go to pick up my food and I checked them both before I left just because of the last experience I had. My gyro was on a regular sandwich wrap and the buffalo chicken had no buffalo sauce on it. Then the old snappy waitress that you can tell hates her job but it's the only thing she knows how to do became snappy and said we can give you buffalo sauce on the Side because we already made wrapped up the sandwich I said you could make it again, and then she said you said reg wrap. Yes! Regular gyro wrap. Then while I'm waiting for my food one of the waiters is talking shit about me not knowing I was standing right there! So I let him have it I yelled at him in front of the whole restaurant because at that point I had had enough! and to say sorry they gave me a slice of cake? Ok thanks but your staff is very rude!! And then old waitress went off talking shit to a customer at the counter. Listen honey no one has a gun to your head making you work there.,,don't like it? take a hike! Worst place I have ever been to in my life!!! Staff acting like they are management butting into conversations and being nasty..like no take a step back and let the big people talk not you. Did not enjoy my meal either actually checked it for spit because the waiters and waitresses were so rude that I really thought they would mess with my food. DONT EVER GO THERE!!!!! read more

The staff is always friendly and the food is always fresh. The specials are bountiful, like having your own personal feast. Classic New Jersey diner. read more

I was out of town and stopped here for breakfast. Ordered eggs and pancakes, the food was ok, but they were quite expensive. The waitress was pleasant. read more

Regular customer when I'm in the area shopping at the Rockaway mall. Stopped by day after Christmas. Not one but two hairs in breakfast entrees (French Toast). Manager took care of it and apologized but will not be returning. read more

Definitely one of the best diners I've been to in Jersey. Nova platter was extremely fresh, pancake was fluffy, and smoked salmon benedict was delicious with generous portion of hollandaise sause. Everything is clean and service was good. read more

Me and my two good pals stopped at this diner before doing some last minute Christmas shopping at the Rockaway Mall. Didn't know what to expect but we were all pleasantly surprised. We were seated immediately and the waitress (unfortunately I forget her name but she was fantastic) came quickly to take our drink orders. On top of being review buddies, we are also high performance athletes, real beefy dudes with incredible strength and agility. For that reason, we order waters; nothing special about these waters, no lemon, fine. We are perusing the menu and see this incredible land full of tasty food combinations. At the Town square diner, this wonderful spot on the menu is referred to as Pete's Specialties... and special they are. It is clear that Pete is highly educated in the art of food construction because some of these combinations were too much for me to even grasp let alone order. We make what we collectively decide is the hardest life decision since the 09' merger and our waitress takes our order. We order the chipotle chicken club, chicken and egg sandwich, a bacon cheeseburger quesadilla and an order of mozzarella sticks. Mozz sticks come out quick and are delicious. We have to wait a decent amount of time for the food but it was worth every second. Best meal I've had in 2 weeks, hands down. Overall great experience. Bathrooms could have been cleaner. read more

Great service! Great food at a great price.I had the chipolte chicken on a pretzel roll. It was awesome and the had a piece of peanut butter cheese cake read more

Everything we have ever had here has been a winner. An excellent spinach salad as well as all the deserts. We absolutely love the pancakes and other salads as well. read more

We moved to the area last year and have been going this diner at least 3 or 4 times a month. The service is great and they are always attentive The food is also pretty good. Breakfast is my favorite and I always enjoy the meal when it comes (pancakes are good, also the eggs, toast, homefries, etc.) The focaccia paninis, burgers, club sandwiches are yummy as well. Love this place and we will keep going. read more

I travel to the area on business about three to four times a year. The Townsquare Diner is always one of my stops while in town. I'm not very adventurous. Once I find something I enjoy, I very rarely will order something different. For the past 4 years, I've been ordering the Chicken Cordon Bleu and its fantastic! read more

I'm known to be a picky eater and am very careful about trying new places to eat. Normally I stick to classic American food, usually a burger and fries. But when a friend of mine suggested that we go to the AMAZING Townsquare Diner, I couldn't refuse. And let me just say, I was not disappointed. Everything from the service to the food to the restaurant itself was beyond excellent! I tried many new things, even foods I had never even heard of before. I was stuffed to the brim and still ached for more! I have found my new favorite restaurant and look forward to my next visit with much anticipation! read more

Nice comfortable place. Some dishes are good others bad. It's a good place for breakfast or a late night snack but stay away from Maryann the waitress. She's surly and gives the impression that she doesn't want to be there. You are a disruption to her. We are not ready to give up on the place itself but management should consider putting Maryann in a different position such as hostess at their competition. read more

We entered the Townsquare Diner restaurant of Wharton, NJ calmly and happily. A retired veteran couple with a service dog... We were received by the staff with skeptical looks and no greetings. We requested a booth in the back corner where our service dog would be comfortable and out of the way. The restaurant host seated us in a corner booth, gave us menus and then walked away. A server approached us and politely took our drink orders seemingly unbothered by our service dog. Within 2 minutes of the server leaving our table the restaurant hostess (perhaps owner) approached us. She requested that we move the service dog underneath of our small booth table. Blankly and uncomfortably staring at us, "Ummm... can you put that dog under your table...?" she asked. We politely declined her unsettling request, "No, ma'am. We're not going to try and fit her under this table, she's not required to do that." She was very displeased with our response and continued to stand over our table and make further unreasonable requests. "Can you move over there... (pointing to the center of the restaurant dining area) and put your dog in the middle there?" (No 'Please' or 'I'm sorry') We replied, "We requested and were granted this booth - I have back injuries and am unable to comfortably sit in the hard wooden seats." Still the hostess remained standing over our table. She continued to stare at us, unsatisfied with our responses or seating arrangements, which were provided by the main host. She continued to state that we were 'in the way of all of the servers' and that she would 'have to explain to all of the servers to walk around the table next to our booth' to reach the server stand in the back corner of the restaurant, next to where we had been placed in our booth. We sat there trying to understand how servers would not be able to pass by us at our table... There was ample room, and yes, servers would be passing our service dog in the walk area. The hostess motioned for the main host to join her side standing over our table. The main host came over, sided with her, and told us that, "All of the other 'ones' put them under the tables," as if there were a set procedure for placement of service dogs in their restaurant. Further confused by this and frustrated by the lack of respect for a 13 year veteran we explained that we were becoming embarrassed by the obvious attention the hosts were attracting to us. The situation became even more uncomfortable and we also informed the hostess that we felt she had reached the point of being rude with us. The hostess replied, "Oh, I'm rude?!" At that point we informed the hosts we were not suing them, but didn't wish to remain in their restaurant. We got up and left the restaurant without making any scene or raising out voices. When we got to our car, a fellow restaurant patron approached us to apologize for the restaurant staff's treatment of us. He informed us that the restaurant hostess said, "I can't believe they brought a dog in here!" This is clearly inappropriate and offensive behavior for the Townsquare Diner management. They have no idea how to handle or respect a service dog, let alone a retired service veteran. This is appalling behavior for an establishment that operates on a customer service basis right outside of an army installation. Needless to say we will not be sending any business their way. read more

The food is not bad. There panini are good, but I got the roast beef open face sandwich, the roast beef was not very good. The Fry's and mashed potatoes are also very good read more

I'm sad to report that my husband and I (who live in Wharton) after going to this diner for nearly 10 years, will no longer be frequenting it. Tonight, I ordered a Monte Cristo. In the menu, it states that the sandwiches listed come with french fries unless otherwise indicated. There was no indication that it did NOT come with fries, so when my sandwich arrived, I was disappointed to see there were no fries. The waitress, who was very kind, checked on it for me and I even saw her go to the owner who shook his head no. She came back, feeling very badly, and told me that it was an error in the menu and that if I wanted fries, I'd have to buy them. I opted not to and thought I would just mention something to the owner when I went to pay. I brought it up when we went to pay and he said "Yes, I went to check it- it is an error in the menu. Sorry" I told him that technically, they should have still given me fries and just fixed their menu. When I said that, he rolled his eyes at me!!!!!! Very disrespectful. I like the food at this diner, but we will take our business up Rt. 15 to the much better Jefferson Diner from now on!!!! read more
