    Stopped by on a weekday for a late lunch after work. It is pretty standard as far as diner food. I was seated immediately. I got my meal pretty quickly after giving my order. My server was really nice. After you're done, you're given your receipt and you pay at the counter by the entrance. There is plenty of parking. It's easy to get back on route 10 going east or west as well which is convenient.

    Cuban panini.

    Typical diner with fast service and familiar food choices. The patty melt was delicious. The Cuban panini was very good. They serve Pepsi and not Coke but don't disclose that when you order.

    On the way in, I asked if they have breakfast specials. The answer was, "yes." The check for eggs, meat & coffee came to $14.95 on a weekday morning. I told owner, "Jimmy," that a diner up the street in Livingston does the same for $7.95 including meat. "I don't believe it." "No, it's true," I advised. Jimmy, the "Master of Customer Service," told me in a nasty voice that it's impossible and he doesn't believe me. Say what? The breakfast was fine and the server very nice. She received a 25% gratuity, but old Jimmy won't see me again for sure. To offer full disclosure, I advised James to take a customer service course. This is my first negative review ever, as I don't believe in potentially affecting someone's business. But this guy is very special.

    Came here twice during 4th of July weekend and ordered the Eggs Benedict two days in a row. The first day, the Benny's were cooked and on the second day those Benny's were oozing out once that fork cut through the middle. Changed our order from hash potatoes to French fries since were saw them on someone else's plate. My friend had the pancakes and they were fluffy. Next day, he had the egg white omelette and was please with his meal. Wait staff was friendly and accommodating with menu changes. Owner of restaurant engaged in conversation as she walked by. As you walk into the Whippany Diner it's a very homey feel. Locals dine here. I use to come here to dine when we have to come up for corporate meeting and one of the favorite places was to meet up at Whippany Diner. Will be back next time in the neighborhood.

    Our meal tonight!

    The food was ok, and we were promptly seated upon arrival. Our initial service was quick, and the food arrived in a reasonable time frame. However, as the restaurant became busier, I noticed that the owner, who initially welcomed us warmly, kept looking over at our table repeatedly. Towards the end of our meal, we wanted to order some more coffee, but it seemed to slip the hostess's mind. When we requested a warm-up, another waiter came cleared our plates prematurely, asking for coffee was a communication issue and when we asked for coffee the waiter look at us confused. The rushed service made us feel uncomfortable, even though our dining time was relatively short, around 35-40 minutes and that includes waiting for food. While the food and initial service were good, the constant attention from the owner and the rush to clear our table left a less-than-ideal impression. It's unfortunate because we would have liked to enjoy our coffee and stay a bit longer. This experience may make us hesitate to return when we come back to this area for a visit.

It was the perfect combination of fig flavored vodka, pomegranate juice, elderflower liqueur and fresh lemon. For starters, I tried the spinach and artichoke dip that was topped with crispy bacon that wasn't greasy. Also, I tried garlic parmesan pretzel sticks with a really tasty cheese sauce. For my entree, I had a delicious burger that was cooked perfectly and was accompanied by fries that weren't greasy. The burger and fries was a sizable portion, but I still managed to make room for dessert. The brownie with ice cream that I had was fantastic, but I absolutely will order the house-made bread budding that my friend said was to die for! Our server, Erick, was attentive, knowledgeable and very pleasant. I will absolutely be back, particularly for that bread pudding!

    There are very few places left in the world where you can smoke cigars indoors while eating lunch…read more The food here is very mediocre ... and expensive! You do get a free cigar (which is actually a pretty nice, brand name stick in most cases) with your meal, which I am sure goes with the cost. Before the world went utterly insane with inflation ... It used to be one of the best deals ever. The food was $12.95 plus the free cigar! Now, it's more like $23 per sandwich. Owch. The best value was the cheese plate, which at $15 was huge and included fruit. Now, that cheese platter is actually smaller than it used to be and costs $44! The decor is pretty cool ... dark and moody ... but there are a couple TVs with sports playing and high ceilings. The air purification makes it smell a lot less like cigar smoke than it used to ... but know that whatever clothes you wear here will likely need a dry cleaning after. The waitresses have been here forever ... and there are a lot of regulars. Imagine what a guy would look like that would want to smoke a cigar while eating and that's exactly what you will find here as a customer. Fake Sopramos accent ... beefy ... loud ... gold chain ... It's a 'bro crowd' for sure with some flashy investment banker types mixed in. Lots of Hummers and G-Wagons in the parking lot. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves cigars. The food is edible and in some cases even good. But nothing amazing. I've had the corned beef sandwich ... don't expect NYC deli quality ... the flatbread (Trader Joe's is just as good) ... and the Cuban sandwich. All okay. The Cuban left me hungry. You can also eat at the bar and peruse their extensive whiskey and beer menu. The drinks are pricey, so a sandwich, a beer ... and I guess you could count the free cigar ... come to around $40, after tip.

    Thank you for the Soprano's meet and greet. Everyone was pleasant and gracious. Especially Kayla,…read moreshe was attentive, friendly, and the utmost professional.

Food: The portion sizes here are very generous, I kind of regretted ordering an appetizer after seeing how large the pot pie was. On the flip side, the food was great so I ate the entire thing.

Service: The service was standard, slightly longer wait time but that may have been due to an event happening at the same time. Ambiance: Very well-decorated interior. You can read up on it on the menu, almost all elements inside have some kind of history to it. Sections are spaced apart well, so you can enjoy your meal while kind of being away from the bar areas.

    Question: "Where do you want to go...IHOP or Mintea (The amazing local asian restaurant offering…read moreThai, Japanese, Chinese cuisine)?" Answer: "IHOP" The question my coworker and I have asked each other many times over the past 3 years. Last week, we chose IHOP :) We typically visit weekdays at noon to get out of the office. While relatively busy, the place has plenty of room. We've never found ourselves having to wait, even with larger groups (5+). The wait staff are always friendly, offering prompt service (important when you need to get back for that 1:15 call you already pushed back)! As for the food...I mean...who doesn't love breakfast all day long! And the fact is, the quality is consistent. Everything I order from the coffee to the belgian waffle combo with that extra side of butter, it never fails. So, head on over to your local IHOP and get yourself a Belgium waffle with extra butter. Tips: 1. Dont forget to sign up for the rewards program. Even a few trips might earn you a lovely stack of pancakes. 2. Maybe try and finish the meal before you leave - personally not a fan of the leftover waffle :/
