Looking for a place to eat, and came across this little gem. Ordered a club sandwich and it was phenomenal. I wish I snapped a picture to show you how great it looked. Definitely a must if you ever are in the area. read more

I've only been here twice but both times the food was delicious. I enjoyed the eggs and also the French toast and berries is great. The bacon was decent as well. Service is excellent. It gets pretty busy here after 11am on weekends fyi and you have to park in the back lot if you can get a spot. I'll definitely be back! read more

what do you expect a well-run diner with great food and nice people? What else could you ask for?!

My daughter and I had lunch here today for the first time. Starting with the cleanliness of the diner. The staff were so pleasant and the diner is so clean and bright. I can't say enough about the food. It was delicious. The amount of food was enough for two people to split, even though we both ordered separately. Such a warm inviting atmosphere. Ps. The restrooms were really clean. Also quite a few small children and little tots. We were visiting in bordentown but would definitely make the 1/2 hr trip there just for lunch or dinner. read more

The food is good, typical NJ diner food but service is average to poor depending on the day.

Great diner. While in town for a high school reunion event, I asked family members to meet me for Sunday brunch and we were not disappointed. A short wait to be seated but once in, service was immediate. I had Veal Marsala over angel hair pasta and it was delicious. Be prepared because the portions are large. One cousin had grits, bacon and eggs, the other had steak. Servers were friendly and provided great service. Worth trying. I would go back next time I visit home. read more

The dining room feels a bit tight but it is certainly comfortable and did not sound too loud. The first thing I noticed after sitting down for breakfast was that all the food being brought out to customers looked very visually appealing. Much more so than the typical diner. Our food was no exception. My blueberry pancakes not only looked great, they were some of the best I have had in a long time. Nice and fluffy and no glue like texture which seems to be the norm at most places. Everyone else thought their food was above average to very good. Wish I lived closer as this is a very nice spot where I would like to try more. Friendly and fast service easpecially considering they were busy on a Sunday morning. read more

Your average diner. Large menu. Lots of options. All very delicious. Service was fine. Large portions. A good staple place read more

This place was great! Food was quick to get to the table,the experience was nice, and the scenery great. I love coming here because Angie's is not done being rebuilt. Also Josh is the MVP. Also this is easily one of the best options to eat around Bordentown. read more

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 read more

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. read more

It has ample parking. Something that seems to be in shortage in local area restaurants. The place looks to had been recently renovated. Has that HGTV Barn chic vibe you see in TV. But it works well place is bright and clean. The staff is attentive and very personable. They are knowledgeable of the extensive menu. I had the Fried Chicken Dinner, my favorite go to meal at most places. It was perfect, now you tend to get these huge flavorless chickens with woody texture to the meat specially in the breast piece. But the chicken here was flavorful, well seasoned and with a salad, soup and vegetable and 4 pieces, Breast, Wing, Thigh and Drumstick. A great value at $22. Wife had the Greek salad and she was pleased. P.S. they had fried Zucchini as a side! read more

If you're in or near Bordentown, NJ and looking for a place that combines great food, warm service, and that classic diner atmosphere, the Wisdom Diner is definitely worth a stop. We came in during a busy time, and you could tell this was a popular spot -- the tables were filling up quickly, and there was a lively energy throughout the dining room. Despite the rush, our waitress was incredibly nice and attentive from start to finish. She had that perfect balance of being friendly while also being super helpful, making great suggestions from the menu and checking in on us just enough without ever feeling rushed. You could tell she really cared about making sure everyone had a good experience. After scanning the menu (which has plenty of tempting choices), I went with the Roasted Turkey, Lettuce, and Tomato Sandwich on a Croissant for $15.50, which came with a side of fries. Let me just say -- worth every penny. The croissant was buttery and flaky, the roasted turkey was fresh and flavorful, and the lettuce and tomato gave it that crisp, refreshing bite. The fries were perfectly cooked: golden, lightly crisp on the outside, and fluffy inside. Everything tasted fresh and made with care, which is exactly what you hope for in a good diner meal. I have to admit -- we were so hungry that I completely forgot to take any pictures this time (rookie mistake, I know), but I'll definitely be back, and next time I'll update this review with some mouthwatering photos so you can see exactly what I'm talking about. All in all, the combination of great service, delicious food, and a comfortable, bustling atmosphere makes Wisdom Diner an easy recommendation. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this is one of those places you'll want to keep in your back pocket for a satisfying meal. Highly recommend! read more

Food is delicious. Service is awesome. Great customer service. I will recommend this spot

Wisdom Diner is a classic Jersey diner, but with better decor. Their service is pretty good overall. We visited on a busy Saturday morning, so I expect that some requests - like Parmesan cheese for my daughter's spaghetti that she ordered at breakfast - would take a bit longer than coffee. What struck me as disappointing was the food, to be honest. The large quantity of food that arrived was bland and mediocre. If you value quantity over quality, this place is great. If your perspective skews towards quality, try another place. read more

Very very pleased!!! Food is great!!! service is great!!! Atmosphere is fabulous as well!!!! Will definitely be back!!! YUM!!!

Had dinner here 07/14/25, really enjoyed the ambiance and the inspirational theme throughout the diner. The staff was very pleasant and smiling throughout the service. Prices were reasonable. We had a dinner special that came with soup, salad, entree, and dessert for one price. We were so full by dessert we couldn't even eat it. Enjoy! read more

This is a classic NJ diner! Huge menu and portions. I couldn't talk my wife into getting the Nachos Wowchoes but saw a few orders go by. They looked really good with lots of chili, cheese and fresh accoutrements. The folks next to us seemed to love them! I had the open-face Hot Turkey Sandwich and loved every bit of it. Lots of finely roasted turkey with a great gravy over white bread. My wife had their Cobb Salad. It had very fresh ingredients, nice dressing and was served in a very large bowl. She absolutely loved it. We were seated immediately by a very nice and welcoming manager. Service was great - very attentive but not irritating. The diner is clean and pretty well kept too. I didn't see any bus pans out in the open like one reviewer had mentioned (?) so the management must have listened and relocated them. The only thing I saw missing from my years of going to great diners was a glassed in round case of all of their fresh desserts, pies, cakes ...etc. being offered. We will return to try other gems on this heeeeuge menu! Definitely now one of our go to places and it's conveniently right off 276E too! read more

Service was sparce. No refills, no ketchup at table, no verification meal was ok. Gyro was sparse, so thinly sliced and few, mostly lettuce, tomato's and heavy sauce. The Philly steak was substantial and worth the cost. read more

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. read more

Love love love this place! As someone who is fairly new to the area, I've been working on finding my fave places to frequent. From my first day here I was impressed by the quality and taste of the food. I've tried something different each time and haven't been disappointed yet. I love their home fries... The cinnamon French toast is amazing and this past week I had the cinnamon pancakes with banana and walnut and it was incredible. Love it here! read more

Service was good, the food was very bland. Now I give 1 star because we went yesterday morning and I got severe food poisoning that landed me in the ER with loss of feeling in my hands. I had an omelette (lots of meat) with home fries and toast. Unfortunately the food poisoning was way too bad I will not be returning. That had been the only thing I had eaten that day so I know the food poisoning was from there. Please keep an eye on your food and make sure you cook them right. read more

First off, the kindest people work here! The food was great, no complaints at all. Everyone eating was a local so the energy in the restaurant was very welcoming. Would recommend stopping by! read more

Wisdom Diner - My order - Diners Near Me - Bordentown, New Jersey

Staff were incredible. Worked as a team, with smiles. The "mini" lunches were huge. Enough for leftovers for me. I had delicious chicken soup, roasted turkey, stuffing, potatoes and corn. Cranberry sauce was included. It was wonderful comfort food. Bathroom was spotless but not quite big enough if you were needing a wheelchair. Easy on and off and being very close to Jersey Tpke was an added benefit. read more

Nice small diner, GREAT and friendly service. They ask you if you need coffee as they are seating you so you do not have to wait. They actually made my bacon how I asked for it. Home Fries had nice crisp top and were soft underneath. An entire meal with coffee and juice for $11 with tax. Will definitely come back read more

I enjoy the breakfast there and the service is good. Am. The place could use a sprucing up, but it is good for a fast meal. I have been going to that restaurant for years.

Place seemed a bit too open, not enough booths etc...aside from that the menu was plentiful and the fries I got were perfect, nice and crispy. The only other thing was the waitress I had seemed kind of hurried, even though the place was like 30% full. Plus their hours seem pretty limited...8am to 7pm? read more
