    Hot chocolate
    Kierra P.

    The waitress Moriah was attentive to our large party. The ambiance is very casual and is a classic NJ diner. The pancakes particularly are amazing. They are perfectly buttery and fluffy. I would go back for their breakfast and brunch menu. The hot chocolate was also delicious. The crepes were not my favorite, the crepe itself was tasteless and the fruit was not ripe enough (too sour). The chicken in my dish (pictured) was tasty but the rice was too lemony for my tastes

    #2 special: 2 eggs, bacon, hash browns, toast & coffee

    Wisdom is always full of locals & regulars because their traditional diner food is always hot, fresh, delicious, reasonably priced & served with a smile. I went there today and got their #2 breakfast special with orange juice, coffee, a generous serving of bacon, two eggs over easy and hash browns as well as toast. Always recommend Wisdom diner!

    Gnutella Croissant

    Had a great breakfast today at the diner. 1. Server Service was great as you would expect from a diner. Definitely came to check on us and refilled coffee as we needed. 2. Ambiance I really liked the decor and while the place is small there's definitely some character and history here. Everything was clean. 3. Food Food was great. Eggs were cooked perfect and this croissant was really tasty. 4. Value Maybe here's where I wasn't all that happy. I understand prices have increased, but I know prices were a good amount higher for the egg breakfast as compared to other diners in the area. 5. Ancillary/Misc Overall the place is a nice place to go and grab a bite. Friendly people, local friends, and good food and service.

    Wisdom Diner in Bordentown has great people working there. My wife and I ate breakfast there eight days in a row and never looked anywhere else! The facility was always clean. The breakfast was always perfect and the staff is top notch. I was so impressed by this establishment, that I bought a tee shirt to advertise for them. "Where Smart People Eat!" God bless, Bob and Kim Harhigh

    Avocado toast
    Kim F.

    Great little diner. Good food and good prices. Was very busy as it always is when we drive by. But the service was very good. Ended up getting the avocado toast special. It hit the spot. It wasn't too heavy and felt like I had a nice, healthy brunch dish. They have a lot of options on their menu. This is a nice option of diners to have around.

The atmosphere is very warm and welcoming and the staff always make you feel right at home. Town and Country Diner truly captures what makes diners special with its friendly service and an extensive menu filled with all kinds of comfort food. The value is incredible. Most meals come with two sides a salad and even a soup making it a complete and satisfying meal. I ordered the porterhouse steak cooked medium rare and it came out perfectly tender and juicy. My sides of fried eggplant and corn were delicious and the upgraded French onion soup was rich and flavorful. For about thirty three dollars getting a full steak dinner with soup and salad included is a great deal. The food may not be the fanciest but it is hearty tasty and served with care. I never make it to dessert because the portions are so generous but they do have a great selection that always looks tempting in the display case. This place always feels like home and it is one of those diners you can always count on for a great meal and a pleasant experience.

There was good lighting, plenty of seating, and so much to choose from on the menu. The food was overall, always pretty good and had good flavor. Could tell that it was fresh and not premade or felt like it was heated up frozen. It always had good flavoring and had so much variety that it was always hard to choose what to eat from the menu. The only complaint we really had was the service could've been better at times. There were times when the service was good and plenty when it was bad. It was bad due to the staff either behaving strangely or needing attitude adjustments. But in the end, it is what it is and it's overall expected. This is a good diner to check out or visit for breakfast but there are still better options out there.

Decided on under the moon cafe and loved the atmosphere and ambiance when we first walked in. Different mix matched tables, glasses and plates. Loved the ceiling tiles and comfy looking benches. I love duck and when I read duck Mac and cheese with cherries I was lost in wonder of the combination of flavors so of course I had to order it. Surprisingly it was very enjoyable. The Mac and cheese was nicely made cheesy, noodles weren't over cooked and over all had good flavor with pieces of duck and a few cherries mixed in. I also ordered the burger which was cooked as requested medium rare and was topped with bacon and an onion ring. I upgrade to the Parmesan truffle fries.which I was slightly disappointed in. I didn't see or taste the Parmesan but there was a slight truffle flavor. The fish tacos I heard were good but not really blacked and the vodka sauce was just okay according to others at the table.

I will say, even the bathroom was decorated to instill a sense of nostalgia. We went for brunch and started with a duck mac and cheese. As you'd expect it was a bit lighter on the duck than one would like, but was ultimately well worth trying. I'd say this goes even moreso if you're a fan of duck, as that's not the mac and cheese pairing you see most often. Beyond that, I got the fish tacos. I'm typically afraid of ordering tacos out due to portion size, and while you do only get two tacos, they are rather large, and come with a side of truffle fries which were exceptional. The tacos themselves were also fantastic and filled with the flavor you'd want and expect from the dish. While we were too full to engage with a dessert, I will say our server was nothing short of delightful and we had a wonderful time. The restaurant is in a great location in downtown Bordentown and we will certainly be revisiting when we are back in the area.

    I went in for a weekday lunch on Monday and found about a dozen other parties already settled in,…read moreeating quietly and contentedly, which is about the highest praise you can give a diner at noon. As a nearly lifelong resident of New Jersey, this place is an exact specimen of the diners I grew up with and survived college on. Obligatory dessert case glowing with future regret. Old school dining room that has clearly seen things. Waitresses calling you "hon" with complete sincerity. It felt less like walking into a restaurant and more like walking back into the late nineteen nineties in the best possible way. I was seated in a booth quickly and my waiter appeared almost instantly, which suggests a system that has been working for decades and sees no reason to change now. I ordered the lunch special BBQ chicken chipotle wrap, coffee, and upgraded to the matzo ball soup. The soup was fine, nothing more. It existed. I have had better versions of this soup in my life and will likely have better ones again. It was certainly not worth the extra two dollars and thirty nine cents, though I respect its quiet confidence. The wrap, on the other hand, was quite good. More chipotle than BBQ, and the sauce was thinner than I expected, but it all worked. It was well made, hot, and genuinely tasty. The french fries alongside it were also very good, which is never a small thing. Service was exactly what you want. My coffee cup never dropped below half full without someone checking in to see if I wanted it warmed up, as if this were a moral obligation rather than a job requirement. All told, with the soup upgrade and tip, lunch came to twenty dollars. These days that feels almost quaint, especially since I left full and satisfied. If you want to know what a standard New Jersey diner experience looked like in the nineties and the early aughts, this is your place. That is not a criticism. That is the point.
