    Very terrible service the waitress was extremely rude the table we were sat at was dirty it had syrup it got my clothes dirty the waitress didn`t hear the right order we asked for a large drink but instead we got a extra large the cup was a regular size to & we ate the food it was okay but as went to pay but we were over charge & we didn't understand why we had to pay so much the waitress didn't explain very well for why we had to pay so much she gave us attitude we paid the amount & left but she followed us to our car & said terrible things to us saying "you guys should feel ashamed of yourselfs" & "that's very disguting the tip amount is 20 percent" "Don't come out to eat if you can't tip well" she was still saying rude things as she walked off very childish & unprofessional we won't ever go back there ever again Don't waste your time or money there her name was Dorothy.

    I wasn't too impressed. Unfortunately I don't have much more to say for this place. The staff was super nice and delightful, but the food was not impressive

    My fiancé & I stopped off to have breakfast. I ordered an omelet with ham & Swiss cheese. The meal was great & so we're the staff! There is 1 issue we had. We placed our order with the waitress, and about 5 minutes later, a gentleman worker brought out a mop & pail and started mopping the floors. As he's making his way through the room and getting closer to our table, our food is served to us. At this point, we literally could taste the floor cleaner in our mouths, and it filled our nostrils. We tried to push through and eat our meals, but the odor became too overwhelming. We didn't say anything to anyone. We were polite and asked for our check and left. This isn't the 1st time we've eaten here, and this has never happened before. We've always enjoyed the food, staff & surroundings. We're hoping this was a one off.

    We have dine in service, no problem no long waiting time to be served. Food was great. Will return.

    This is a hidden gem in a small shopping center. The food and service was excellent but the restaurant itself has an old fashion diner atmosphere.

    Food was really good small but friendly service. Large portions and still delicious as leftovers.

    Amazing food and amazing service. I went literally 30 min before closing with my son and 4 nephews and nieces. They didn’t rush us, the food was great and the prices are a surprise after all this inflation. Highly highly recommend it.

    Great little hole-in-the wall diner! Not fancy but cutely themed for the older folks. Been coming here for years and it's always consistently good. We usually only have breakfast but I have had their triple decker club sandwiches and burgers which are also very good. Cash only!

    I'm a black male who walked in to be served. I wasn't greeted. Not one time since I've been there have they asked how my food was or if I needed anything else. I left and tip when I shouldn't have. I left out and still wasn't acknowledged. I took the liberty to go back inside to address the issue and they acted like they were sorry. I know a racist and bias person by their actions and demeanor. So now I have spread the word on my social media platforms of what I have experienced. I gave the name of the establishment so people know to not come. when I get the chance I'm going to reach out to whomever the higher ups are and address it again. All of the Whites that were there was acknowledged from beginning to end, but me. I didn't exist to them. THIS SHOULD NEVER BE TOLERATED!!!!!!!!!

    Dive diner. Holy moly this is for the yocals . I know these places are hit or miss. This was a miss. Salmon we very fishy. Greek salad was good though. Might come here for standard eggs and bacon, maybe pancakes but sure yet..

    It is a small, clean diner. It was pretty busy when we ate there and with that no issues with service.

    My boyfriend had 2 eggs over easy on corn beef hash and I had French toast with powdered sugar. Both were delicious! The wait staff was helpful and kind. An excellent place for breakfast/lunch!

  • 5/5 Sharon M. 1 year ago on Google
    Very friendly and efficient staff. Good value . Good sized portion of pancakes. They should have hooks underneath the counter for women to hang their pocketbooks.

    We have gone a few times and I have to tell you I am a big fan. I like both JB restaurants the one in Manchester and this one in toms River I’ve gotten the breakfast quesadilla couple times, and it was outstanding the ladies who work in the restaurant and very nice and funny, and became one of my favorite breakfast spots quickly

  • 4/5 Walter S. 1 year ago on Google
    Definitely the place to go for a classic Jersey dinner breakfast. The eggs were good and the corned beef hash was spot on.

  • 5/5 Joseph A. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly home style food service staff always friendly and if go enough they will remember you. They serve large meals and plenty of it.

    The food is good, but what really sets this place apart is the atmosphere and service. It’s not often I go out of my way to compliment service, but Dorothy is one of the best servers I’ve ever had and I swear they don’t give that woman a day off! She’s there with a smile and a laugh anytime we come in. She creates a very friendly atmosphere, to where it’s not at all unusual to find yourselves talking and laughing with total strangers at the next table. That’s just how comfortable everyone is there, all through her. We felt like “regulars” the first time we came in, and she remembered us the second. If she’s a manager she’s a great one and if she’s not, she should be!
