Up in New Jersey again for a wedding, and I rode through my hometown. It wouldn't be a complete…read moretrip without a "Jersey breakfast" at the Westfield Diner. The Westfield Diner opened in 1983 when I was away at college in Charlotte. It occupies part of the former Westfield Ford dealership complex, including the area once used for its parts and service operations. To me, the diner is a more-than-40-year-old piece of post-childhood Westfield. Before moving to Raleigh, I returned to the Westfield area and frequented the Westfield Diner. I always find it comforting to walk in and sit at a booth if I am with someone or at the counter if I am alone. This past Sunday, I visited my parents and other relatives at Fairview Cemetery and then went to the diner for brunch. I had to park on Elmer Street and walk down toward North Avenue because the parking lot was filled and overflowing. When I walked in, the line for booths and tables extended outside the door. However, since I was alone, I was able to quickly and easily claim a spot at the counter. My favorite breakfast at a New Jersey diner is two eggs sunny side up with pork roll--aka "Taylor Ham" in Union County and much of north Jersey--home fries, rye toast with grape and/or strawberry jelly, coffee with half & half, and water. For six months before moving to Raleigh, I came here every Saturday, sat at the counter and ate this meal. It is always delicious. I love the way the cooks place the eggs--staring up at you--right on top of the Taylor Ham. The wait staff and hostesses are always very professional, friendly and accommodating. Their hospitality is another quality that makes the experience at the Westfield Diner a real treat. There is also memorabilia from Westfield's past throughout the diner, both on the walls and behind the cashier's counter. The restrooms are always clean and well stocked. I always make sure I visit the Westfield Diner when I am back in the area. It gives me that hometown feeling and provides a place to sit, relax, eat and reconnect with an earlier time.

Great safe neighborhood. Option to get a side of pancakes with the Omelet I love! Food taste very good. Definitely put this Diner on your Omelet Breakfast list

My wife and I were in the mood for some good diner breakfast…read moreand we did some googling, saw the reviews on this place and decided on it. Got lost trying to find it, we were about to say screw it and then we found the back entrance. I got a cheese omelette and home fries with a side of cheese grits. My wife got pancakes and extra crisp bacon. I am not a religious person but I felt like I was having a holy experience while I was eating that food. I don't care how fat that sounds. I AM SO GLAD WE FOUND THIS PLACE. OMG. Holy crap. First of all, the grits at this place were magical... creamy, buttery, and well seasoned. Like somebodies auntie with that hanging elbow fat was back there puttin her soul into those grits. Even if everything else was trash I would've gone back for those grits. Luckily everything i put in my mouth was amazingly delicious and I left there so full that I seriously contemplated asking my wife to pull the car up to the door so she could roll me into it. This is definitely a regular spot.

I got the single combo with hot dog and hot Italian sausage, onions, potatoes and peppers. I told them I didn't care for the green, so they gave me red only. It was comfort food to the max! Delish, but I couldn't eat the whole thing. Took some sausage and potatoes for later. Hubby got the double which was too much food for one human but he used a fork to eat the potatoes, onions and peppers and work his way down to the meat. The people were super friendly and accommodating. Basic setting with no frills, but simply delicious food. They also have American style hot dogs and plenty of sides, but we will have to come back for that another time.

Italian sausage sandwich.... All I can say is... Huge!!!!! Great sandwiches and way more than I can…read moreeat! The Italian sausage sandwich with potatoes and onions was excellent. Potatoes were cooked just right. The flavor was amazing. It's a order at the counter and they call your name kind of place. Laid-back and just a chill place to have a quick lunch. Nothing fancy but always on the money! Will have to come back to try their hotdogs. Parking on the Blvd can be tricky, but they have plenty of spaces behind the shop.

Our server was super friendly and patient with us and had some good banter with our group. The food was pretty good. I liked my pasta salad and fries. The gyro was okay but the eggplant was a bit rubbery in the veggie gyro. The chocolate cheesecake was very decadent and good but may be a bit rich for some people. Overall, I had a great experience here!

I was always curious about this place whenever I dropped off my son at Kean University. He tried…read morethis spot and said it wasn't bad. I finally got the chance to try this spot. Too bad, it wasn't a good experience. The place isn't special. It's just your typical old diner. Some people like that charm, so people don't. St least, the place was clean and large enough to accommodate a group of over twenty people. The staff was friendly and did their best to serve such a large group. Unfortunately, the food was subpar. It wasn't my worst experience at a diner, but it wasn't good. My soup came in a hot bowl, but the actual dish was lukewarm. Others had it cold. That and the pasta salad were very, very bland. My chicken salad sandwich, on the other hand, was just salty. I really didn't like it. I finished it because I was that hungry. I left with a bad feeling having been full with food that just wasn't good. I wonder why my son likes this place. He said the stuff he orders were ok. He did say the their tiramisu was horrible. Maybe I ordered the wrong things. Maybe they just couldn't handle a large group at once. I dunno. Unless I am really hungry in the area and there is no other place open to eat I won't be coming back.

Better to eat it hot - like eat there or on the way home lol . It's just not the same when you wait till you go home or have it delivered in my opinion. I feel the same way about pizza :)

It had been a while since I last ate here and when I say a while, it was like 8 or 9 years. During…read morebreakfast yesterday I was reminded why. To their credit the food is quite good and the service is attentive and friendly without being overbearing. So why the 3 Stars? Simple. There are no healthy options on the breakfast menu. Sure there are things that can be construed as healthy like egg white omelets, etc but there's no oatmeal, no overnight oats, no yogurt, no granola... Well, I think you see the point. To 90% of the egg, potato, pancake eating public this probably isn't an issue but to me it is. Ordered lemon ricotta pancakes which were quite good with a massive portion sure to delight most people but again, no short stack options and I barely made it through 1/2 of it. All in all, if the aforementioned issues are unimportant to you, I'd give them a try. If, on the other hand, you're like me, I'd look elsewhere to start my day.
