Always a good spot for a Saturday or Sunday morning breakfast. Very kid friendly and reasonable prices.

Came on a Saturday early afternoon for brunch with my grandson. The place was very busy. He wanted chocolate chip pancakes and a strawberry shake. I already had breakfast, so I opted for an early dinner - the NY strip steak. He got a child-size portion of the pancakes, but they offer no child-size portion of the shake (they need to). My steak was not good - tough, gristly. (I ordered medium rare and got well done). The vegetables were overdone. I would not order a steak dinner here again, but the breakfast meals of other diners looked good, and my grandson was happy with his. Prices were very reasonable. read more

I am from out of town and found Vicki's diner on yelp. The service was fast and amazing and friendly. The food was excellent. I got the vegetable omelette with gluten-free wrap on the side. It was amazing and not greasy at all which I very much appreciate it. I believe my service name is Janice she was the bomb! read more

Good basic diner food, friendly decent service. Right in the center of town. Unfortunately parking is a real pain and parking spots are blocked for pickup only which makes it worse. But I nearly always find a spot after a few spins around the block. Or you can park in the muni lot by Trader Joe's a couple blocks away. But wish they would open up the spots. read more

A great local diner. Always lovely service. You could feed an army with their helping of home fries!!

A nice looking diner in downtown Westfield. We stopped in the other day. Bustling place with comfy booths. Chrome on the outside. I like that. Friendly service. Good coffee. The buffalo wings weren't really buffalo. Just a mildly spicy fried chicken. Good waffle fries. My omelette, home fries and english muffin were standard/run of the mill. My wife enjoyed her to go Tuna sandwich with sweet potato fries. Another diner on the life list. read more

Tasteless veggies. Salted mashed potatoes that taste like salt. Rubber chicken Marsala that tastes like plain mushrooms and onions but no spice, sauce (Marsala or otherwise). or taste. read more

An old fashion style diner right in the middle of downtown Westfield. Never been to Westfield? Well for all you Jersey haters (you know who you are), if you ever have the time to drive out to "joisey" and check this small town out, do yourself a favor and stop into this family run diner. I had the chicken wrap with a side of fries and a soda. The chicken wrap was great! It was filled with chicken (duh),lettuce, avocados,tomatoes and some special sauce. I loved it and crammed it all into my gullet. The fries were typical diner fries. But I love typical diner fries, so I was happy. I will definitely check out Vicki's again, good prices and equally good service. read more

So far, always delicious. I use to go a lot as a kid and I haven't been in years. I decided it was time to start going back. Good food for your buck. Eventually will need some updating to keep it going strong. But such a nostalgic classic feel! read more

Okay, so it is really a store front restaurant on Broad Street in Westfield, NJ. It qualifies as a diner in my mind - daily specials on a board by the door, breakfast served anytime, hot meat loaf sandwiches and waitresses who call you "hon". In addition, it is within walking distance of Trader Joes (my real reason for being in Westfield tonight - Charles Shaw Merlot for $2.99!). I had the Patty Melt with a cup of chili, fries, creamy cole slaw and all the diet pepsi I could handle for $11.50. Open 7 days a week and worth the detour off of the Parkway if traffic gets heavy. This is my second time there and they really seem to have a following of regulars. read more

Stopped by and I was greeted when I walked in. The waitress seated me immediately. I ordered a Spinach Salad. It was good and the service was good too. The diner appeared to be clean. I may stop by again when I'm in the area. read more

Vicki's is our go to breakfast spot. Pancakes, omelettes, oatmeal, waffles, French toast all great. Service is fast, owners are super friendly and the coffee is awesome and bottomless. It's one of the only places where from the kids to the grandparents everyone leaves full and happy. Best diner in the area. Dinner and lunch are also solid. read more

I haven't been to Vicki's in years but glad we stopped in for an early morning 6am breakfast. The interior is CLASSIC NJ diner and I loved it. The staff was friendly and we saw a bunch of regulars trickle in for newspapers and coffee- a real family feel. I had a simple breakfast- two eggs over easy with a side of lettuce and tomato, it came out fast and was good. The coffee was really good and fresh as well. Parking definitely can be hard when town is in full swing but if you're looking for a good break and diner food, stop in here! read more

Vicki's Diner - Simple egg breakfast - Diners Near Me - Westfield, New Jersey

What a cool space. At 7:30 AM we were the only seated customers; restaurant was empty. Seriously!?!?! Service was ok but food was awful from the coffee to the eggs and home fries and turkey sausage and OJ. Poor taste, poor quality excessive pricing. This place could be so good if they understood what it takes to offer a good tasting balanced experience. We tried it once and are 1 and done. read more

I'm sorry to hear that some people have gotten horrible service here and I think it can really be a major factor even if the food is great. But anyhow, do you remember those old school diners where there's a massive menu and everything's got pretty good prices and lots of food? This is it. Vicki's Diner is one great reason to visit Westfield, NJ! read more

What is with all the bugs on the walls in this place? I actually watched a worker trying to kill the bugs while people were eating. When I asked the girl at the register what was going on with all the bugs on the walls, she said it's because they keep the door open! Needless to say, I will NOT be going back! read more

Consistently high quality of food and service. Management are actively involved in running this above average diner. Many try, few succeed. Pete and Helen succeed very very well. Thank you. P.S. try the triple decker turkey club sandwich. Amazing. read more

Beware eating Togo here because the 5 foot old lady is aggressive about how you order. Just avoid if you want to enjoy your day. Doesn't like delivery service drivers!!!! read more

We just enjoyed another meal at our favorite Diner! I can honestly say in about 16 years I have NEVER had a bad meal or a problem here! Their coleslaw is fantastic!! From breakfast to soup, to crab stuffed fish Vicki's NEVER disappoints!! read more

This place is so adorable! It reminds me of Johnny Rockets, I've been twice with my amazing fiancé. The service is extremely prompt, we literally only waited five minutes or less for our food. Someone is always waiting to greet you at the door and make you feel at home! Great atmosphere. read more

Good a** diner food. All I got to say. Came here to get a blt and toast with eggs and they both did not disappoint. The staff were super friendly and it really gave off the classic diner vibes. Want to come back and try the pancakes, been craving them!! read more

Great classic dinner. Always fresh food, fast service, a favorite spot in town for quick bite

Best hot chocolate I've ever had in a long time. They were open, attentive, let me use their facilities and were very kind. Thank you, Vicki's, for being open during the pandemic and being true hero's. Will come back when the pandemic is all over. read more

This Westfield veteran is a classic very good diner. Service is rapid and attentive. The menu is very long, prices very reasonable and portions generous. Blueberry pancakes were excellent, my friend liked the meatloaf and the coffee was good. Call ahead to check any wait and get on the waiting list before you arrive. read more

Vicki's is my favorite diner in NJ, and I'm a self-proclaimed NJ Diner Queen! The minute you walk in, you feel like you're in a diner in the heart of NY. It's busy with locals, has somewhat happy servers, and serves up great food. I'm never disappointed when I come here. And never are my kids, which is a major bonus. Over the weekend, we came for a Sunday lunch. I had my usual spinach pie and side of Greek salad. It wasn't even on the menu or daily specials, so make sure you ask for it if you love spinach pie as much as I do. The salad was so crunchy. I've been getting used to wilted salads from my last diner experiences, so this was a great surprise. My husband wanted a typical NJ Italian sandwich, and they custom-made it for him. Nice! He was happy. The girls both had the Dora pancakes. They're little silver dollar pancakes at the perfect portion for a kid. Every time I'm in Westfield, I go to Vicki's. It makes me feel like I'm living in NYC again. That's an added perk. read more

Vicki's Diner - Ask for the spinach pie and a side of Greek salad. It's not on any menu. And it's sooooo good. Made fresh. - Diners Near Me - Westfield, New Jersey

Vickis diner has some amazing dishes such as their grits at breakfast and Motza Ball soup. it's a nice place to sit and enjoy time with family or friends. Prices are a bit high and the staff is friendly. read more

Best diner ever. So many fun items to order. Love the pancakes and the service. In a very nice and convenient location. Such a great experience when you go here. Never a disappointment read more

Went in last night for a sandwich. Friday night, ten minutes to eight, all of Westfield alive and hopping in a post-COVID glow. Gentleman near the counter told me that the kitchen had just closed. This is at 7:50 p.m. on a Friday night with a carnivalesque atmosphere surrounding the restaurant! Well, I want to compliment Vicki on her business model. She must be raking in tons of cash to be turning away potential customers with pockets full of money on Friday evenings. I mean, friends, this wasn't two o'clock in the morning ... read more

Today was a holiday and was super packed, the most packed I've ever seen it before but my bf and I were able to be seated right away. My server was super nice and didn't have us waiting a long time due to the volume of customers. Food came out super fast too. I've come here multiple times and I'm never disappointed. All of the staff is nice from the servers to the people who take the dishes away. I suggest parking in the paid parking lot next to Trader Joe's and walking there, parking on the street is usually a hassle in Westfield. I also love the design of the restaurant, super cute. The prices are fairly cheap too and they give you a good amount of food. I always have leftovers after leaving. They also give you free lollipops which is . read more

Vicki's Diner - Very delicious French toast with strawberries. My bf got the Italian hot dog with side of fries, as well super delicious. - Diners Near Me - Westfield, New Jersey

Quality of food is very poor. We were a table of 5 and each person complained about blandness. Only positive is that the portions are generous. Manager was also very rude. She told us she wanted us to hurry up eating and leave so she can close at 9:15, but the posted closing time is 10. Cleanliness was also questionable as utensils still had food on them when given to us. read more

The following is, in my opinion, an example of inappropriate owner behavior, a step away from one of Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares. I had previously given this diner a fair review and have always been happy and polite to people. However, as I was leaving in a crowd, this noon, and asked a patron blocking the door: "Excuse me, dear, you're right in the doorway..." in a friendly tone, she smiled and jumped out of the way, she being about 13. However, her out of control parent rushed over angrily, accosted me physically and threatened to kick my ass for telling her "... you're right in the doorway". He insisted I couldn't say that to HIS daughter. I asked him why he didn't move her when I first said "Excuse me, dear", he instead got in my face an inch away and threatened me again. I said: "Hey, knock yourself out, but right now I feel like calling the cops or talking to P(the owner)", and I tried to dodge him, but he got in my way again so I planted my feet. He seemed to pale a bit as I said: "I'm not leaving until you apologize or I'll call the cops" and he started screaming at me to "Just walk away, get the F out of here you a**hole!", then runs over to P(THE OWNER) and says: "Get this guy the F outta here!" The owner, P, uncomprehending of the situation, runs over and demands I leave or be banned from Vicki's (oh "woe is me"). I said: "Peter, I did nothing, this guy attacked me out of the blue and threatened me!" To which Peter screamed at me to just leave, I said: "Man, I really want to call the cops, this is ridiculous!", still in a polite tone, and he shouts: "You call the cops, you're banned, call them outside" and "We're done, just get out! This is my restaurant". Apparently, P the owner, can be a real jerk and a half. Meanwhile, still blocked by patrons entering, I had to ask them to step aside, so I could leave. In my opinion: An example of an out of control owner and an out of control restaurant. This appears to happen daily, the place is too small and the crowd doesn't know to wait on the street as the owner lets them lounge in the entry, blocking people exiting and noisily bothering those eating, and causing problems. I have seen a lot of customers complain about this behavior. Two that I know were so offended they won't eat there any more. I've even been standing in line to pay and had hostesses come up and ask me bluntly to "please move" because they needed to get past me, without so much as a smile. How was I to know by standing in the mandatory queue to pay, that I was blocking their way. (I'm handicapped, btw). The patrons all thought the situation was funny, my being thrown out for being polite, while the incoming patron screaming, threatening bodily harm, and being abusive, gets support from this out of control owner. In my opinion, there is definitely something wrong with P(the owner). He really should seek anger management classes or something. After many years of my eating at this place, he owes me a fervent apology for being blind sided and inappropriate. Nonetheless, that's the last time I'll eat at Vickis. It's not safe, in my opinion! Meanwhile, in my opinion the food is nothing to write home about, its ok. And the bus boys who pour coffee refills often pour regular coffee into decaf, and the other owner takes umbrage to diabetics who, under the table, inject in her restaurant, telling them to go into the bathroom and risk infection, unaware that diabetics are allowed to do so when they are required to by MD. The waitresses are very good. Yet, It's amazing. No freedom to exit, no freedom of speech, disdain for those with a handicap, and utter abuse from the owner. The owner, as I was just served and hardly part way into a turkey burger and salad, came over to me a few months ago during one such busy day, and insisted I give up my table as soon as possible, as it seated two and I was only one, and he needed it. Apparently he doesn't like parties of one and has terrible self control problems. That I eat there every day for lunch was irelevent to him. When I had arrived, the place was nearly empty. Another time, as I was a party of one, he insisted I take a table that has a bad leg in the front corner, that is so rickety, it spills your soup and coffee to sit at it. He proped it up with plastic props but it still spilled hot coffee on the table. Nonetheless, he lied and said he had to use the table next to it "For a large party" and then sat a party of one at it. I can understand room management, but replace or fix the broken tables, for gosh sakes! I probably occupy a table for no more than 15-18 minutes. But no one likes the rickety table. Except Peter, apparently. Either that or unaware of my handicap, he judges me as a wierdo. There's no excuse for that, either. Apparently, he judges each patron on their economic potential and disregards the rules of propriety. Shame, shame, Vickis, this behavior won't get you any friendship read more

Eh, just another diner. Nothing really stood out. Pros: Kid friendly They had really good fountain soda... Cons: Expensive diner food Service was meh, stereotypical old waitress. read more

I was very excited about trying Vicki's. But then i waited for 10 min and until just then we got greeted at our table. She didn't say hi or anything. She said, "Are you ready?" After waiting 10 minutes, yes, I was ready. She took our order (Greek Gyro and Patty Melt). We got our soup with our drinks and then noticed, after she didn't utter a word and walked to the next table, we didn't have any napkins or silverware. So i asked a bus boy walking by. He placed the napkins down and actually just DROPPED the silverware on the table! When the food came out, she put the plates down and just walked over to her next table. WITHOUT UTTERING A WORD!!! She never even came back and checked how our lunch was. Cause, if she did, she would have noticed that i had to take a salad bar off of my Gyro, put half of it onto a leftover plate, that was left over from my empty soup cup, with it piling onto the table. It was very fake tasting! My fries were cold! It was the worst actually! i am giving them a rating of 2 stars. But that is only because the Patty Melt was really good. Do bad her Fries were cold too. I know in NY and some parts of NJ, it is really hard to get good service, but this was just appalling. P.S. No i didn't tip that waitress. I know what it is liked to be stiffed and i know that it is a terrible thing. But, let us not forget that waitors are working for tips. At least act like your grateful for people going out to eat. read more

once you step into this place you're treated with a warm welcome by their staff. I was seated right away, and attended by our waitress.

I definitely agree with the reviews stating bad service. When I walked in, the diner was not very busy but all the waiters/waitresses were too busy talking to each other/staring off into space to greet or seat me. After standing awkwardly in the doorway for a few minutes, I had to seat myself and ask for a menu. The pumpkin pancakes were good, but it's not worth it for the way you are treated (or plain ol' ignored). read more

Vicki's Diner - Pumpkin pancakes - Diners Near Me - Westfield, New Jersey

Ventured into Westfield, NJ with a few friends. Based on a friend's recommendation, we came in for brunch. I love diner's for the variety and amount for food for the money. We each ordered our own dish and a plate of the whole wheat, banana pancakes to share. The banana pancakes were delicious for something that's meant to be somewhat healthy (whole wheat flour). I ordered the vegetable omelette with american cheese and home fries. The omelette was huge and packed with veggies. Very reasonable for the price. We were all stuffed when we left. Service was as expected from a diner. They checked on our table a few times and coffee cups were refilled frequently. Nice place for a weekend breakfast/brunch. read more

It's a family run, neighborhood spot, which happens to be a quite trendy commercial area at that. But the vibe here is homey, they know their customers and have pictures plastered on the walls with them. They serve you coffee because they are pleased to. The food comes in ginormous portions and isn't gourmet, but you taste the love and care in every bite. I've seen people come in for a quick bite, I've seen others come in and spend hours... how would I know? I'm one of them of course. Great breakfast, they carry specials, nothing outrageous. But again, the portions are huge. It's the food and the homey vibe that make this place so special. read more

Why all the haters? I really liked this place! Came here on a Saturday morning. It was definitely packed, but we didn't have to wait at all and got seated in a booth quickly. Food: I ordered the eggs benedict and the hubby ordered an omelette. My eggs benedict -- delicious! The eggs were cooked PERFECTLY. I hate when it's overdone and not runny, but no not these eggs - perfection! The english muffin seemed larger than normal, I was actually so full I couldn't finish my entree. And the price ~$8, very reasonable! Coffee:good and neverending cup! Service: very attentive and friendly. Would definitely come again! read more

Best diner in NJ so far. Triple decker tuna melt and french fries is addicting. Whenever I've been sick and haven't ate for a few days I crave this place. As weird as that may be that's a good thing. Their pancakes are delicious and matzo soup is perfect on a winter day. I travel here instead of going to that diner 2 min away by me because this is that much better. Last scene in the Sopranos should've been shot here instead of Holsten's. Tony would've seen it coming and the food here is so much better. Meadow still wouldn't of been able to park because this too is street only parking. read more

This is one of the best diners in NJ! I have lived in NJ all my life, and have been to diners in nearly every county in the state - this is as good as a Jersey diner gets. The food is great, the menu is straight forward diner fare - something for everyone. Breakfast is awesome too. The family that runs the place is super friendly, and some of the waitresses have been there for years, so they know how to take care of you. Finally, Vicki's retains that old school diner look of the 50's and 60's, which is a nice touch I think. read more
