Good, solid diner fare. Clean, bright atmosphere. Never gonna win any culinary awards, but hey, it's a diner not the Waldorf folks. Open 24/7. Great for a late night bite. Generous portions.

A classic NJ diner to go after a night out in the city. Everything here is good but I recommend the breakfast foods. The taylor ham egg and cheese is a local favorite.

I used to go to this diner every other month or so. Kind of was Good Food if you kept it simple. I would never go there since my wife has seen one of the guys at the cash register serving us water was coughing into water cups while bringing it. If you are sick and got the cold or whatever dont serve please.....especially be a little considerate.

The best part of this diner is the coffee. The food can be quite questionable. It's very popular late at night on weekends, as all the kids coming back from the city or clubs see this diner first, as it's about all that's open. If you know your wait staff, they can be very good. The service is better late at night, (even when it's packed, ) than during the day. However, the menu is limited and you really do have to ask the waitresses about the condition of the desserts. Some have been around a day or two, some are fresh. If you ask, they will tell you. As a previous reviewer said, it is wise to stay away from the steaks. They tend to be grainy, gristly and never cooked how you ask. The Italian entrees are questionable at best. Stick to the burgers and things of that sort. They do make a halfway decent Monte Cristo though.

If you keep to simple foods, you won't be disappointed. That is hamburgers, sandwiches and certain fried foods like chicken. Do stay away from steaks, ravioli, and any seafood that is not battered and fried. The service can be good or apathetic, it depends on the time of day. I haven't eaten breakfast, only late lunches and early dinners.

The food here is mediocre at best, and the service is not that good. I once had the seafood ravioli there and it tasted anything but fresh. The desserts are stale and the waiters forget you exist. all in all the best part of the diner is the decorations and the building itself as for the business i won't go there ever again.

The attraction to the diner is the face of it. It has been around so long that people call it a landmark. I would call it an average diner. The food was average quality, I had the breakfast and I found the home fries to be too greasy. Again, average for a diner.

Poor for a diner. I ordered a cheeseburger and a "side" of eggs. I got a cheeseburger on top eggs. I asked what happened to the bun, the response was that's an extra 40 cents. Then the bill was totally un-readable, I have no idea what we were charged for what. DO NOT GO HERE
