This place rocks. It's a well tuned machine that turns out classics of Americana with a smile. Everyone is cross trained and they serve Pepsi! No Coca Cola here. A root beer is my go to. Burgers come small fist sized or fist sized. I recommend the smaller size. You may disagree. There are the frizzles of onions. Cooked almost to a sumptuous jam. This is a family friendly favorite that hasn't changed in decades. And they like it that way. Cash only. ATM right there. Sent a tip to the flat top griddle cook. She does it all. Serving. Cooking. Ordering. She is amazing. This is my favorite slice of working class and just passing through. Been coming since the 1960's.

Bacon cheeseburger

If you're in the mood for an affordable smash burger done right, this spot is it. Every burger is cooked to order they are so fresh, juicy, and customizable in so many ways. They come on the most delicious, chewy poppy kaiser buns that make every bite feel special. The sides are just as impressive: piping hot onion rings and fries, and their chili cheese fries are perfectly melty without being greasy. Super friendly hospitable service and retro interior with lots of cola decor. Cute spot for a date or a quick bite while heading south. Heads up it is cash only and their parking is tucked away in the back which is hard to spot off the corner.

I didn't even realize that I've never done a review of this place. I have been coming to White Diamond since 2006, so I have a time tested history with this place. It's a small old school diner venue, with a kinda awkward parking lot. It's sits on the corner of a major intersection. This is truly your old school American diner experience. Friendly & personal service, they actually will talk & joke with you here. Cash only, but there is an ATM on site. No frills, no fuss, just great food. If you're looking for "healthy," "organic," "vegan," or any of these other "new age standards," then this ain't the place for you. Like I said, it's old school & I love them for it. I highly recommend stopping here if you have the chance. Grades: Jersey Burger: A++ Fries: A+ Onion Rings: B+

Had a great experience when I came here for lunch with my husband. The two staff members we came across were friendly and helpful. Never a had a poppy seed bun for a burger but we both enjoyed our meal. We will definitely return and try the sliders next time around. P.S. This is a cash only establishment.

This place truly has such a nostalgic kinda' blast from the past kinda' feel to it. From the exterior of the building to its interior decor, this 1945 establishment is clean and updated but has kept its old-time feel. The owners are the cooks and are super friendly and funny from the door... they seem to treat everyone very personably and comically. Now here's the sad and hard part... and why we will never come back. The food was just okay tasting but the service from kitchen to table left a lot to be desired. The food was plated on tiny paper plates and the server was literally gripping our sandwiches with his bare fingers in the bread. Fries were served on large plates with his gingers literally in the fries. The bread top fell off two sandwiches on the table and he picked them up and placed right back on top of our sandwiches. It was gross and he didn't even know it and didn't even apologize for it. This was a terrible dining experience that I really wish didn't happen because I so wanted to like this place. I honestly can't tell if it was just a bad day or if this is the standard of service overall but my impression sadly is that this is just the way things are here. Very old-fashioned, but very little hygienic consideration.

White Diamond Diner parking and approaches at corner of Central and Raritan Road, Clark.

Very good, and unique burgers. Fresh poppy seed roll enclosure, and lean, flavorful patty. Fresh lettuce and tomato topped mine off. Access to parking looks tricky if you drive by going West on Central avenue. Take the narrow driveway immediately to the left of the small diner. If coming up from the south on Raritan Road, pull into the lot behind the diner. It is worth the trip, and it is an old-fashioned experience that still is worth it.

To round out 2019, a double cheeseburger on a hard roll with extra pickles.

They're not many places like this left. Growing up we had a White Diamond sited where the Wine Library is located. On my folks 'date night' dad would pick up a sack of cheeseburgers for us and the babysitter. How this spot has survived astounds me. Corner location, yards from the GSP, surrounded by mega billion dollar chain competitors-God bless them! It's damn tricky to enter and exit, but you're rewarded with terrific sliders. Prices have crept up, but I like to support and tip the independents. The poppyseed roll on my double California burger? Superb!

I'm always torn with places like White Diamond. I really love the ambiance of places like this-old school, greasy spoons. Love the pretty simple menu, the old signs, the grumpy cook, and the really nice woman taking orders. They were ranked as having the best burger in Union County so I had some expectations here. I went with some co-workers at lunchtime, on a Friday, so I also expected the place to be packed. Was pleasantly surprised the place wasn't too busy...and the very nice lady behind the counter wasn't frazzled. I ordered a chili-cheese dog and the #3 - a bacon cheeseburger with onion rings and a drink. The chili cheese dog was tasty, (they use Sabrett's and grill them) and the chili was good, but probably wasn't homemade. The onion rings were your normal, frozen and fried rings...so they were tasty, but weren't impressive. I chose poorly on the burger...not because it wasn't delicious, but because it was on a nice kaiser roll and I SHOULD have gotten a double. The burger was just a bit too small/thin for a single. I love that they put this on a Kaiser roll, but had I been here before I would have gotten the double. I broke down and had a second dog with mustard and kraut...the second dog got them the 4th star-very tasty. I wish this place offered shakes, but it's REALLY small. So I get it. I can't say they have the best burger, because I really don't have a lot to compare it to in Union County, but it was very good. They only take cash here-so come prepared.

One of the few breakfast and burger joints left in the area. Walk through the door and you'll travel backwards about 30 years. Back when burgers were on real buns, fries were NOT designer and the waitress calls everyone honey. Best burger or bacon and egg on a roll you can find anywhere! Stop in for some great food and a smile from Tammy.

1st time in Rahway and we stayed at the Watt Hotel it was late and we wanted a burger... this place…read morewas in literally a few doors down so we decided to stop by. For starters we had the shrimp tacos!!! $17 for 2 but worth every penny! And they were by far The best I've ever had!! Very fresh toppings and perfectly seasoned. And I loved the green sauce they topped it with. For dinner my husband and I split the $19 classic burger and substituted the fries for a Caesar salad. We also subbed the cheddar cheese for the smoked Gouda and omg chefs kiss!! Ordered it medium and It was cooked perfectly! For drinks we had a coke soda $3.50 and an uptown girl (lychee martini) $14 Both were good. The servers were really nice. The vibe was laid back. The volume of the music was perfect. The bathrooms were really clean. If ever in the area again I'd definitely come back!

I just wish they had a bit more crisp or char. For mains, we got the classic burger, veggie burger, and chicken milanese. The chicken definitely drives this review. The breading is crisped to perfection and the meat itself is nice and juicy. The salad on top provides a nice contrast and had me wishing I had a bit more to gobble up. The main bar space has high ceilings so it allows for you to not feel like you're on top of one another.

You can tell they…read moreput a lot of attention to detail in creating it, and I think it is definitely shining through. They do have a small parking lot in their back, but it is maybe 3 spots total, so you may need to find street parking. The service is pretty good, although I was initially annoyed they didn't have paper menus and we had to use our phones. Being on your phone with a small child in a restaurant doesn't always go super well. Later I saw a table get a set of paper menus, which I was a little annoyed they didn't just offer us, especially with a small child. The food was overall good. I shared the pancake trio and the Monroe with my son. The pancakes were all really good. We had gotten the strawberry cheesecake, the caramel pecan, and the blueberry lemon. I think my son really liked the strawberry cheesecake. I thought the blueberry lemon were great. The pancakes tasted like they used some sort of lemon zest or something in the batter, as the lemon really shined through nicely. My eggs were a little overcooked, but the bacon was pretty spot on. I had also gotten a hot chocolate which I thought was good, although there was some powdered mix that was not fully incorporated in the bottom. My biggest gripe was they automatically added an 18% gratuity to all parties of two or more, and if you were going to do that, just raise your prices and have a no-tipping policy. I am sure there are solo diners, but basically everyone is getting charged the 18%, so just raise your prices so there is more transparency for what you are being charged since there was literally no single diners there when I was there. There was also a few price things on our bill that I wasn't thrilled about. Their menu has listed items that are additional for an upcharge. When I had ordered the Monroe, I had the option to add cheese to it, and they asked if I would like any cheese with it, so I said sure. The little bit of cheese was an extra $1.50, and I feel like being that they have other things that they clearly called out as an upcharge, they should have let me know it was an extra $1.50 for this. Also on the bill, they charged me for oat milk for my hot chocolate. I had to draw this to their attention that I hadn't ordered oat milk. they merely said, "well we mixed it in." That's not the point, it did taste a little off, and I specifically ordered a regular hot chocolate. While they took the 50 cents off, it did feel like they were just nickeling and diming me on some things. Overall, I had an okay experience. The pancakes were good, but the service was friendly. By the time we left, the place was completely packed and people were waiting outside so I think that speaks to how good the food is and maybe I just had a slightly less positive experience.

My friend and I visited on a very quiet Friday morning for breakfast. Neither of us had been here…read morebefore but that is going to change. We were provided a very friendly and warm greeting upon entry. My friend ordered the chicken and waffles with two eggs over easy. I ordered the brioche French toast with bananas, strawberries, blueberries, and a side of sausage. The Belgium waffle had two big pieces of fried chicken attached and the portion was huge. My French toast consisted of three thick slices of brioche bread with plenty of fresh fruit covering it. The sausage was two fat links. Tasty and cooked fresh. As a coffee snob, I would say it was very good. Very extensive menu for breakfast with plenty of options to eat healthy or to adhere to your dietary restrictions.

Maybe you should consider people's dietary preferences and accommodations, no need to explain.

I got the regular order because I wanted to be respectful and that is basically what I want on the menu, my side was never received so I had it removed. The taste was actually good but after eating a quarter of one I boxed the rest and gave it to my daughter. Strike 2 was the wait time for our food, two tables after us were served and sizable meals. I ordered Pancakes and water. I ordered an omelette and a cup of coffee, horrible she said. How long do you have to wait for that 30+ minutes. Strike 3 was they seemed more focused on the turn around verses the actual service to seated customers. We weren't the only table. I've shared MY REVIEW......
