While up the street at the annual Belvidere Victorian Days, 9/12/2026, we decided to venture out and explore the restaurant down in town, a few steps past the bridge/falls called UNCLE BUCK'S! We stepped inside this homey space and decided to eat at the counter, next to the kitchen where Jesus and Leo were working in tandem, preparing and presenting all the wonderful food. The personality at the counter belonged to Joy, manager and the other employees: Luz, Sara and the beautiful young lady whose name escapes me! I craved pancakes and so, 2 blueberry plus a special of chicken snitzel, mashed potatoes and cup of chicken harvest soup. A horse radish cheesesteak sandwich with fries and a soft drink. The food was hot and satisfying but those pancakes really were great! Such a hometown camaraderie with locals who frequent the place. We'll be back to try those pumpkin pecan pancakes! read more

My family and I came here and everything was very delicious . You can definitely tell that everything was homemade and very tasty. We waited until there was a booth since there were a lot of us. I decided to get the grilled chicken gyro and the Greek salad it was very delicious. I pretty much ate everything. I didn't have any leftovers. I also got the cup of chicken noodles, and that was really good . My husband got the cup of chili and the cheese burger. My husband said a cup of chili was okay, but the cheeseburger was very delicious. Other than that, I would highly suggest going here and checking them out. read more

Sunday mid- morning breakfast was great! A cute hometown diner with all the regulars sitting at the counter and coming in and out. Got a booth by the window and could see the water outside. Loved every second of this experience! read more

This place is a local mainstay. No frills no fuss just straight delicious breakfast food at an affordable price. Friendly staff. You'll probably run into some friends and have a chat while you're there. Classic small town local diner read more

A small town establishment with really great food. Never had a bad experience here and the food has always been great! They have a great breakfast menu with Omlettes, pancakes, biscuits and gravy, just to name a few. I always enjoy the Omlettes where my kids stick to the pancakes. Staff is always friendly and service is excellent. Portions are decent and price is right. My coffee cup was filled when empty. What more can you ask for. Not in the mood for breakfast, theynl have tasty lunch menus as well. If you lucky, you can grab a window seat. Pretty sure the river is the Peaquest, There is a small waterfall where the ducks often congregate. Definitely a great place to visit as you are passing through parts of rural New Jersey and almost makes you feel as though you are back in time.. A must stop whenever we are in the area. read more

The best local breakfast and lunch place around. The food is down-home. The service is great. Love looking at the water. I go there often.

Classic Small town Main street diner. Nothing fancy. Tasty food, good portions. Menu said home fries inside omelet and they were not. Efficient, pleasant staff read more

The perfect combo of great food, low price, and large portions. Did I mention low price? Seriously, it's so cheap that it's almost criminal (there's a court house, and a jail two miles down the road, so I give extra big tips just in case). read more

The food and the service was horrible. The service is slow. The food is very bland and dry. Really unappealing too. They don't use any fresh ingredients. Skip this place and go to Thiswilldous! read more

Service was tremendous! The place was clean and welcoming. Food was excellent small town diner fare. The coffee was above average. The sausage breakfast burger was fresh and well executed. I will look forward to coming here again. read more

Traveling through Jersey, looking for a place for lunch. Found Uncle Buck's. The nice Young lady says find a seat. Comes over takes our drink order, the first thing you notice this is filled with local regulars. You step back in time. It's such a wonderful atmosphere, having people talking and asking how the family, as first timers you get the friendly look from all the regulars and everyone goes back to business. Ordered a turkey bacon club and a roast beef club. You again travel back, a fully packed sandwich of roast beef, bacon (perfectly cooked) lettuce and mayonnaise on toasted white bread. The turkey club was just as packed full. Something you don't get in some of the bigger places. Top everything off with a root beer soda and they give you a small bag of chips. Prices were on point. Nothing fancy and to wait for service is not a problem, because I would also spent time with my locals that frequent this place for a good number of years. You can sit and listen to the local people and their stories. Great diner, great food and great people. I can't wait to go for breakfast. Give them a try... read more

What a great little spot out in west Jersey to stop for breakfast, lunch or dinner. We went there for lunch and thought I was back in time. Very local establishment with many regular customers sitting at the old fashion counter style. Everything we ordered was very good and portions were average size. Price was a great value! A great spot to stop while enjoying ride in the country,. read more

I absolutely love this diner. Food is great, friendly atmosphere, typical small-town, all-American eatery. A genuinely happy place for either breakfast or lunch. Nothing pretentious about it. I am hooked! read more

Cute little diner, the staff is friendly and the food is good. They have daily specials on the board for breakfast and lunch, make sure you check them out! They fill up on the weekends though, so don't be surprised if you have to wait. read more

The food is a hit or a miss, and you never know what you are going to get. Wait time varies of course based on the time of the day/if it's close to a holiday. Most of the waitresses are unpleasant and spend more time talking to customers they know than they do on actually waiting on customers. Prices aren't bad, but again, the food can either be good or bad and you never know what you are going to get. I've ordered several times for take out/pick up and the food has been mediocre and I'm usually missing at least one item. I have tried to give this location multiple chances because it used to be amazing years ago but it clearly is not going to turn around soon. Don't waste your time here! read more

The BEST place in Belvidere to eat!!!! Great food and good prices unlike the garbage a few blocks away!

I was looking for a classic New Jersey diner before leaving the state. I decided to try this place and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered one of the daily specials, the chopped sirloin steak with mashed potatoes and gravy, which also came with soup and a drink. Everything tasted great and the service was excellent! I'd definitely go back! Highly recommend! read more

ALWAYS the best option for best breakfast in town. Team members are so personable. Go home with a full belly and never disappointed by the taste! read more

Love that you can get breakfast up till closing they have daily specials and homemade soups they are homes away from home food

By far the best breakfast in Warren County. The staff is always really sweet and quick! My personal favorite is a seasonal special, the corn fritter pancakes served with honey butter and warm syrup. I swear they put crack in the batter because they're addictive!!!! Buck's is definitely "where the locals go", and when deciding where to have breakfast, 9/10 times I choose here! read more

You won't find a better breakfast spot in Warren County. Super affordable, friendly and convenient. You can eat like a king for cheap! Highly recommend. read more

Anarchy reigns. No hostess to organize the "line" at the door...people waiting in line for seats were routinely jumped by local latecomers. Okay, I'm an alien in this burg, so I'll keep my mouth shut and wait my turn. Once seated, ordering and service were good, and the food was average diner breakfast quality. Then, waiting at the register to pay, the oblivious counter help ignored one woman who had been waiting to pay for a good five minutes while she chatted with people at the counter. There was a man waiting to pay his tab next, and as soon as she had taken the previous patron's money, she blew right past him to engage in conversation with two women who had blown past us on line earlier and had seated themselves. When she finally got back behind the register and took his money, she ignored me standing in front of her waiting to pay my bill and reached out to take money from the woman she'd just finished gossiping with. That was the last straw. I said, "excuse me if I'm not okay with having someone cut the line on me twice in the same visit. Would you please take my money?" To which she replied, "somebody must be having a bad day!" "No, I was having a nice day before I got here, and I expect I'll continue to have a nice day once I'm out of here." Fool me once...never again. And I can't believe the star rating on Yelp is legit! read more

Had a great meal once we found it! A group of us was out riding when someone suggested that we try Uncle Bucks. A small place set on a picturesque street, we were greeted warmly when we walked in. Joy, our waitress was knowledgeable, funny, friendly, and accommodating. Everything here is home made, from the delicious cream of cauliflower soup, to the tasty corn fritter pancakes. I had the chicken Philly sandwich and an order of onion rings. The sandwich was perfectly cooked, with a perfect combination of chicken, cheese, onions, and peppers. My wife had an omelet which she truly enjoyed. I can't wait to go back and try some of the other dishes on the menu! read more

Since I grew up with Uncle Buck's Diner as one of the "places to go" for breakfast, I'm very well acquainted with the people who are regulars here. The waitresses are always kind and attentive and the prices are great for the food you get. The atmosphere could be a bit nicer but it's a home town classic. read more

Cheap a great food. Specials everyday and best breakfast you can get in town. Great staff and great scenery of the waterfalls out the window

Love Uncle Buck's for breakfast. Always friendly, fast and clean. You get what you order, meaning eggs soft or well done or whatever, no questions about the quality of their chefs nor their food. Their daily specials are always great. Stop, you will never be disappointed. read more

Uncle Buck's Diner reminds me of when I was younger and our parents took us to the diner on the weekend for breakfast or lunch. With awesome food, it has a family atmosphere friendly, where everyone seems to know each other (guess because it's such a great price for good food folks keep going back). Of course the backdrop scene with the waterfall to the side of it and the ducks swimming in that beautiful picture of nature reminds you that you're really in a special place. Any time of the year. read more

Was there this past Saturday for lunch before heading to a show at the town's local play house (Contry Gate Players). Friendly staff, well paced service, great variety of food on regular menu AND daily specials, super tasty food, big portions, and extremely affordable. And the waterfall view was a nice bonus ;). Will definitely go again and suggest it to local friends. read more
