    We went in because I just searched breakfast near me. It had really good reviews.... we had no idea! This place was amazing. The outside of the building is very pretty with flowers and decor. The inside is great! I got a ham sandwich which was awesome! My partner got a chicken and avacado sandwich which was also delicious! The sandwich came with fries, a salad, a small thing of slaw and a pickle! He ordered soda unfortunately it was flat. We asked for them to give us a milkshake instead. We had no idea what we had asked for. This thing was a beast! There's an entire slice of cheese cake on top! I would definitely recommend going here! The whole experience was great! Staff was super nice and very attentive!

    This place is pretty unique because it’s themed around Carnegie Hall in New York City. It’s full of big colorful paintings and just the whole thing looks like a giant Museum. The portion sizes are pretty big which are comparable toward the actual pricing. And they have pretty fun deserts that I didn’t get this time. But next time I’ll definitely get them as they have them displayed in the front of the store. What I got was the pastrami Reuben and the amazing burger. Both were extremely good and would definitely recommend to other people.

    I had seen this place several times before but never got the chance to dine in…until tonight. I ordered the farmers blu salad but I didn’t get the chance to take a picture of it because I was starving. Fortunately, my guests took pictures of their food. Everything was delicious and felt fresh. Also, this place has great service and nice decor. By the way, I came here on a Friday night and the DJ was playing better music than most clubs! Finally, this place gives you pretty great value for your buck. Will definitely be returning soon!

    I heard mixed opinions before trying the place myself. Went in for a late lunch with friends. I ordered a Cheeseburger and it was cooked perfect. Very large portion. Burger comes with fries and a well dressed salad. My friends also liked their meals (chicken and pancakes, and Turkey club). Very convenient location if you're visiting as well.

    Love the new place, Chris was a great server and he was very attentive. The food was delicious. It was my first time ever trying BBQ Chicken Salad and I have to say, it was delicious and filling too. The portion was great and the BBQ sauce was delicious. My mom and godmother enjoy there meals as well. Definitely will recommend anyone to come and eat here. Looking forward on trying out the rest of the menu.

    The Carnegie diner and cafe is so good, the atmosphere is so nice yet you still get that classic diner feel from the delicious aromas wafting from the kitchen. The waitstaff is super friendly and very attentive. I ordered the classic cheddar burger with grilled onions and a side of fries, it was cooked perfect to order and so tasty. My friend got the caramel french toast , I had to try it and it was amazing. I highly recommend eating here. Classic diner comfort food with an upscale atmosphere. I will definitely be heading back next time I’m in the area.

    Sooooo, the place is cool, and the staff is amazing! However, the pastrami and corn beef sandwich is not what I expected! I have had fantastic pastrami and corn beef from Katz, Pastrami Queen, Carnegie Deli in Manhattan, and many other places! I have never had a sandwich where the bread was toasted soooooo hard; it is not a good idea for a sandwich! It made for great toast, but for a sandwich, no way! Not sure why it doesn’t come on rye like my husband's pastrami sandwich, which by the way, he said was ok, just a bit too lean and not much flavor. The onion rings were good, just a tad oily! Believe it or not, the side salad was the meal's star; the dressing was out of the world! Don’t get me wrong; I’ll definitely return and try something different; maybe breakfast! Remember, this place is a DINER, so don’t get your hopes up!

    Classic diner vibes! Ample seating spaces, quick service and good typical American diner options. NJ is popular for diners and this place won’t disappoint you, has huge variety to pick from. I also liked their coffee, and I had the veggie omelet- quite a huge portion for me. Although I found parking quite far away, can except some walk.

    Came here for a bite after the movies. The drinks were pretty good and the bar area was pretty empty for a Friday night so we definitely enjoyed the space. Other patrons opted for tables, the space is big and there’s enough room to not feel tight. We ended up ordering a bunch of appetizers which came out quick while we had our drinks and the waiters were so nice and attentive answering any questions we had and offering suggestions.not one did we feel rushed

    We got omelettes, it was mediocre. The inside was still raw so I only ate the fully cooked parts of the food. $20.95 for a 3 egg omelette that came with a small side salad and hash browns— I’ve had better and cheaper. They also state they use organic eggs so I guess that can rationalize why it’s pricier. Ordered tea and the mug was dirty from old coffee. Thought it was just stained but I was able to scrape it with a spoon. Won’t be coming back

    So glad we went to this place for desserts. Their coffee is incredible as well as their desserts are really good. The staff made sure that we were well taken care for and they were super nice and welcoming. The café itself is very cozy inside and decorated very well would definitely recommend.

    First time here and the food was amazing! So many options! Such huge portions, I saved some for the next day. The atmosphere is damn awesome! I had a frozen margarita and it was so strong, I approve! The staff is so friendly and the food came out fast for a busy lunch hour. Plenty of parking. I’ll definitely be back! Enjoy!

    We were on a family vacation over the Thanksgiving break, and searched for a restaurant nearby our stay and found this one. The breakfast was amazing, it was a great experience early morning breakfast and coffee.. However, our dinner experience wasn't satisfying.. nothing went wrong, but the taste of the food wasn't satisfied at all for the dishes and appetizers. We didn't like the taste of the food, it wasn't satisfying and not delicious.. Great customer service and very romantic atmosphere and good for kids too.. They were friendly with our kids.. I might come back later only for breakfast but not for dinner.. The location and parking is convenient.. The staff are friendly...

    My first time here and surprised to learn there were other locations in Central Park NY and Times Square. Food was fantastic! There were plenty of options to chose from (not as much as other diners in the tristate area) but just enough. Nice selection for kids and those who are vegetarian. Service was great and our food was out in less than 20 minutes after ordering. The margaritas were delicious and only $5 during happy hour which you can’t beat. I can’t wait to come back!

    I was not able to make it for the grand opening of the New Jersey location, but I am so glad I finally got the chance to make it here! Usually when a diner has amazing, crazy shakes and loaded desserts, the food is just made, but that was not the case here! Everything was incredible from the creamy spend up to the super cheesy mozzarella sticks! My friend, and I had an amazing time trying, and sharing all the food! She had the fried chicken sandwich and I had to Kobe beef burger, both very incredible and delicious. I got mine with Parmesan fries, which is a definite pro tip if you go here! But I would be remiss if I did not mention the 26 layer cake, which was worth every bite.!!
