From east to west there was: * Ritz: only the longtime residents went there out of habit * Golden Touch: the "Roach" for what you might find there, but our go-to as cheap teenagers * Whippany: tiny and food was decent * Brookside: the best atmosphere and food, our choice if we were willing to drive a bit Well, two of the above have changed hands - the RItz still has the name but isn't the same diner, and Golden Touch is now just East Hanover Diner. Brookside is gone for reasons unknown. Leaving Whippany Diner as the last place I've known since... I guess I can call it my childhood at this point, going on 30 years. And no, not much has changed. Stuck in the middle of a jughandle, you're still going to be tested trying to park without scratching your car or someone else's. Try their lot, or park across the jughandle ramp? And then cross that on foot? Huh. Once you make it inside, it feels as cramped as the parking lot. We were led to a table up against a mirror that's next to a door, so my right eye saw people coming and going while my left eye saw... me. Short story long: Ambiance is not doing any favors here. Service? We were attended to well, food came out on time. Only odd occurrence was my friend's water was refilled and mine wasn't, but ours were at the exact same level? I'll let that slide. Finally, the food. My friend's chicken fingers looked rather weak and burnt. My crock of French onion soup was fine; though rather light on onion, the cheese came through. The spinach and feta omelet was actually a winner - fluffy, full of chunks of feta. But the side of hash browns? I would more call them pressed frozen potato slices. The verdict: Took me way too many years to write this review. Some things never change. Maybe they should, but if they keep packing their parking lot and outliving their competitors, I guess they don't have to.

My order was eggs over easy, bacon, home fries (crispy), and white toast. Eggs over easy was their only accomplishment. The bacon was like a brown jerky and tasted worse. The home fries were a red mush you could sieve through your fork. And the redness was attributed to seasoning which was more red than flavor. On to the white toast I ordered. I received wheat, unbuttered. When I asked why her response was "some people don't like it. So rather than asking for unbuttered toast they decided customers could put c,old butter on cold toast. Their cook has one redeeming quality, he can cook an egg over easy. If that's the only qualification for the position it's why he got the job. Anything else is an abomination to the plate. I have been here before and it was a full lot to park. This day, 2 cars. Word must have gotten out breakfast is less than tolerable here. The place is clean and well lighted.

The diner is inside a classic boxcar and not much has changed since opening - which is the way it should stay. The service was great and everyone was friendly and accommodating. We arrived around 12 PM on a Sunday and waited about 10 minutes for a table. They don't have high pairs but they have booster seats that worked just as well. We ordered Taylor, ham, egg, and cheese on a roll, two pancakes with scrambled eggs, and the front toast plate that came with eggs and sausage. Taylor ham, egg and cheese on a roll was standard and good. The French toast was tasty. The pancakes were very, very good. Definitely order these! The diner is no-frills. It's classic food served the original way. It really feels like an authentic New Jersey establishment and I love that it hasn't changed.

The Veggie Panini is so tasty; the ingredients taste fresh and as though from a quality sauté; the Portobello Mushrooms, Red Onions, Roasted Red Peppers, and Spinach all mesh together juicily well, of good flavor. I try to make the meal as Vegan friendly as possible by removing the Feta Cheese. Still, the panini might have butter which texture wise more so than flavor wise is present. If not for looking in the sandwich I might not note the buttery-melt-like residue which is post my curiosity of the oil/sauce. I think a garlic-olive oil base may be a great option to substitute for any seeking to Veganify the Veggie Panini beyond just removing the cheese. The coleslaw is tasty and contains a light mayonnaise-milky-like dressing, which one may drain out, though the coleslaw comes with it. Being able to substitute the coleslaw for a commensurate size salad can help with Veganify-ing the coleslaw portion. The fresh fruit are fresh and tasty. Request a check for available fruits to be more sure of what might be coming in your fresh fruit package. The meal is overall juicy and satisfying. The establishment offers a variety of seating options and has a somewhat classy modern-retro vibe. I don't look for a jukebox or a dancefloor though I won't find any surprise if this eatery has them. The establishment accepts different forms of payment.

BEDBUGS in the Booths at Millburn Diner -- and an Owner Who Yells at Customers- STAY AWAY!…read more Quick Summary * Sat in a fabric booth and found multiple bedbugs crawling in the cushions within minutes * Reported it to staff -- no manager came over and nothing was done * We were moved to another table and still charged the full bill * Called the next day -- manager promised a call back but never did * Spoke with the owner later -- he yelled, accused us of harassment, refused to address the issue, and hung up I'm sharing this so other families in Millburn know what we experienced. Date of visit: February 28 Party: Family dinner including our 20-month-old daughter My family and I live in Millburn and try to support local restaurants whenever we can, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Within about five minutes of sitting down in a fabric booth, someone in our party noticed a bug crawling on the seat. Based on what we observed at the time, it appeared to be a bedbug. When we checked behind the booth cushions more closely, we saw several more, at least 8 crawling along both sides of the booth. Seeing multiple insects that were confirmed to be bedbugs where customers are sitting and eating was extremely alarming. We immediately got up and asked to be moved. In hindsight we should have left immediately, but we had already ordered and felt awkward walking out. The staff moved us to a table in the center of the restaurant with wooden chairs. We clearly told our server exactly what we had found in the booth. Nothing further happened. * No manager came over * No one inspected the booth * No one followed up with us * No one offered any acknowledgment beyond a quick apology from the server When the meal ended, we were handed the full bill as if nothing had happened. The next day I called the restaurant to make sure management knew what had occurred. The manager told me he had not heard anything about it and said he would call me back "ASAP." That call never came. Two days later I called again and asked to speak with a manager. This time the owner came to the phone. Instead of addressing the issue or even listening, he immediately became hostile and started yelling. He accused me of harassing him and his employees and said he was going to do nothing about it. After shouting at me, he abruptly hung up the phone. I have never experienced a business owner respond this aggressively or unprofessionally to a legitimate customer concern. For transparency, we documented what we observed at the time and contacted the restaurant directly the following day to give management the opportunity to address the issue. Based on what we experienced -- both the insects we observed in the seating area and the response from management -- this situation felt completely unacceptable. If you are dining in Millburn, there are many other options. DO NOT GO TO THE MILLBURN DINER!
