A nice atmosphere and amazing customer service! Food average but a bit too expensive for the quality. Eggs a la Benedict: not balanced flavors. A bit too lemony. In my opinion definitely need to work and perfect the recipe. Vegetarian Scrambled Eggs, taste was bland. A pinch of salt or a bit more made a difference. Pancakes were awesome. I don't mind price for excellent food but price should be based on how good the food parties or sleeps in your mouth. LOCATION: Good spot with tons of parking RETURN FACTOR 60% RECOMMEND A FRIEND FACTOR 30%

We always hit up this place for a delicious breakfast. It's a cute little diner. The BLT on Rye bred is my favorite. The staff always takes really good care of you and it seems like it's a good place to work, because they always seem to have plenty of people.

Awesome place, the decor was reminiscent of vintage and retro, not that I would know. The food was great and reasonably priced. It was pretty busy but luckily we didn’t have to wait long to get a table. We were coming home from a long road trip and this place hit the spot for us!

This diner and food were great! We arrived around 11:30 a.m., and it was super packed. There was a 20-minute wait that didn't take long at all. We had 6 in our group and sat at different tables to save on time due to so many people there. I ordered the Veggie Omlet with hashbrowns and toast with a side of avocado. My husband ordered the Van Dorn Deluxe with a side of sausage patties (2 nicely sized, not pictured), and we ordered a full stack of pancakes for the kids. EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING! 3 pancakes was enough for my 10 year old and 18 month old to share with some left over. I also ordered the special of the day Sunrise Mimosa. It was served in a flute and had more champagne than anything else. Service was great, and the establishment was clean overall. Parking is good as well as it is located in a shopping mall. I would definitely visit again and recommend you try it if you're ever in the area.

Food was great, service was superb and quick, however it took a long time for the food to arrive~ I love the 1950-60s vibe~

About as good as ihop. The food was bland and the hollandaise was bag in box from Nestle. Irish Benedict: The corn beef and hash was mushy and the biscuits underneath were doughy. Service was great and atmosphere was retro route 32 NJ diner.
