    Never noticed this place before as it's in the middle of an old strip mall and unless you are looking for it, you just don't see it. I actually saw it on Google Maps and thought, what the heck is that place? I drove over for lunch. It's an old school diner ... a greasy spoon, and I say that in the most positive way. I loved it! It's very authentic and everyone in there has probably been there many times before, except me. Loved the waitress, although I didn't get her name. She was a hoot! We were talking about how it's good to try new places and she said, "So, where are you going to go?" I said, "here! I'm doing it now!" Haha. Anyway, the place is old but very clean and personally I loved the red covered stools and booth seats along with the vintage signs on the wall for Pepsi and Coke. Lots of Marilyn Monroe's and Elvis's, too. I had a simple cheeseburger and fries (with cheese) and a coffee. It was great, and the prices were extremely reasonable especially for this area! I usually spend $25-$30 on lunch and I spent $11. Cheaper than McDonalds, too ... so, I'm lovin' it.

    Great little diner, love the charm of the local place. Eggs Benedict was delicious. Seat yourself and self-serve coffee station.

    Love this place. Waitress is great and they make a mean omelet. Seat yourself makes it feel like you’re home.

    The eggs benedict was so good, I went two mornings in a row. The home fries are also to die for. Perfect diner menu & atmosphere. 5 star food and 5 star service. Nick is awesome!!!

    For the diner state, NJ has plenty of sub-par diners - this is not one of them. This luncheonette's food matches its ambience. It's very reasonably priced and the service is quick and professional. If you are looking for diner-type food in northern NJ you won't be disappointed.

    The food was delicious everything is cooked fresh by order right in front of you. I would definitely go back any day. We were treated like if we were regulars there. The waitress was very friendly and sociable.

    This is our absolute favorite breakfast place in NJ. We love finding places with that “old time diner” feel which is exactly what you get here. It’s always the same waitress, the same guy who checks you out. Service is always very pleasant. The omelettes are always outstanding, which is hard to find nowadays! We try to come at least once a month.

    This place is absolutely amazing. Great old time luncheonette. Nothing fancy. Just the basics. The food is awesome. The service is fast and friendly and you will not break the bank. This place is Aces. I absolutely love it here...

    Really cool little unassuming diner. The food is excellent and the prices are impressive. Eggs Benedict are definite must try.

  • 5/5 David P. 8 months ago on Google
    This is the place where you will find and bring friends there. It is a hidden gem that needs to be shared. The food, service, and value are something that isnt seen much nowadays. A dying breed, but this place is alive and well. Pastrami on rye ,cream of turkey soup and a foutain drink ( seltzer) . Under $11. This place is the last bastian of New jersey unique dining experiences. Breakfast specials , lunch specials. Most under $11 with ample sevings is a refreshing change from the " upscale" overpriced eateries. If you want to share a cool New Jersey unique spot check this place out.
